32 years ago when i asked my Father in law if he would approve of me marrying his daughter he asked me to get married in the Catholic church. We had to take classes from a Nun twice a week for 6 months to learn how to live the married life before they would perform the ceremony. I found it odd to be instructed by someone that was never married on how to be married. There are a lot of things going on behind those walls. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25787757 Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

So because there is racism in Canada, racism in the US cannot be pointed out? Johnny did it too is sooooooo JK. Statements like: "I thought maybe Americans had learned their lesson locking up innocent Japanese in the US for actions by Japan." or "And have you ever thought that maybe the Muslims don't like Americans because Americans never atone or atoned for anything?" Hey bud, I think your sanctimonious statements indeed indicate a deep rooted resentment toward the United States. Are you waiting for the "inevitable" invasion from the United States? It's too cold up there. "So because there is racism in Canada, racism in the US cannot be pointed out?" Sure give us your best shot, but I bet you never knew Canada interned Japanese during WWII, nor anything about Canada deep seated racism toward the Indians and minorities today.

It's not just the catholic church, it is all denominations that hide the abusers. A quick search on the web will expose just how wide spread child abuse has been within all religions. The youth director of a former church I belonged to was exposed for having sex with a junior high school girl, and now he's doing time in the state pen. There was no attempt to cover this up, and the asshole is paying. There is child abuse in school, boy scout troops, summer camps, sports, or any thing involving children with adults. Safe guards and rules should be in place and strongly enforced to the max to prevent this. We are all sinners to some extent, but there are those who should never be allowed to interact with children, but how do you know until it happens? It's like bad doctors being passed around from hospital to hospital and never being found out until they maim or kill someone. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

It's amazing to me the number of years we Americans have been reading and talking abuse in the Catholic Church, and it keeps happening with cover ups. It's like a never ending crime against children. It's bound to speed up the decline of the Catholic Church and hurt other Christian dominations. This plague could cause others to back away completely from any religion.

Uhm, yes I did. Is there a point in there somewhere? (By the way both your links come back as "error, not found")You do know that there were Japanese internment camps in Canda? Right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Canadian_internment ......and don't forget Chinese, Blacks, Aboriginal Peoples http://racismfreeontarioblog.wordpress.com/2013/03/13/racism-in-canada-the-evidence-of-things-not-seen/ Ok, one more time. It does work in the "Preview Post". "Uhm, yes I did. Is there a point in there somewhere?" There's one little point here. There was and still is racism in Canada. Seems you, the pot, are calling the kettle black. According to my second source, Canada, for it's size is pretty much a white man's world. The last sentence pretty much sums up the writer's view: "Lessons (Not Yet) Learned The legacies of imperial domination and colonialism continue to influence our understanding of difference, identity and belonging. The denial of Canada’s history of racial violence has contributed to the production of an atmosphere that serves both to silence current experiences of racial injustice as well as to trivialize the differential effects of racism on both the perpetrator and the survivor. In short, the symbols and structures of our everyday life reproduce an atmosphere and a sensibility which communicate hostility towards those perceived as the racial other and, by extension, functions to reproduce notions of the superiority of Whites and whiteness."

The Catholic Church has found that bankrupcy is their way out of owning up to their responsibilities. And to be completely 2-faced: http://money.cnn.com/2014/01/21/news/pope-speech-davos/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 I have some very good friends that are ardent Catholics, but I think that it is the worst religion on earth. JerryBaumchen If you ever get a chance to read, "Fatal Silence", The Pope, the Resistance and the German Occupation of Rome by Robert Katz, it will only strengthen your view of the Catholic Church. I agree. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

It's hard to think about those things when you're young. I always liked wood stoves (have one with a catalytic converter), and I like the exercise cutting, splitting, and moving firewood, but there will come a time when we go propane or something else. It's tough being a FOP (fucking old person). Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I expect most people who've been reading your posts on here for a while have made up theirs too. At least you don't hide it, so you get honesty points on that. How come you didn't answer:"Do you plan to report every crime committed by a Christian too?" Ans. If it's considered actual or attempted domestic or international terrorism, yes." I don't recall ever starting a thread entitled "Christian ....., faces criminal charges", or anything similar relating to a Christian where the ONLY factor mentioned was the religion. Maybe you'll enlighten us with a link to such a thread starter. Maybe it's that liberal, bigoted press. They are so quick to point out "Muslims", but never Christians. Terrible, huh? Amazing how they sometimes point out a person's ( God forbid) color too. You got me on "such a thread". Hold your horses; it will happen.

How about the one about"foreign" pilots who flew airplanes "into" American buildings. That one made the headlines. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

The Japanese were locked up and badly treated, but they were still were proud Americans. Many served with distinction in WWII. Wonder why they didn't go on a 70 year crusade after the war and reek vengeance on an innocent American civil population? Oops, because they were proud to Americans.

No, the Muslims are taking care of that. One of the reasons for Muslim bashing and the increasing level of Muslim bigotry is a response to the violence of Muslims worldwide. Bet your parents didn't call Hitler or his army those poor misguided Germans. They were Nazis and lived under the cloud of judgement and bigotry for another 30-40 years. Same for the Japanese who were called nips. What overcame a lot of German and Japanese bigotry was atonement. By both sides. The atonement process was started by the Germans and Japanese. That process has yet to begin. I thought maybe Americans had learned their lesson locking up innocent Japanese in the US for actions by Japan. Guess not. We did. That was EVERY Japanese -American. You didn't see every Muslim-American get placed in an internment camp; did you? As long as the subject is bigotry... How long have you been hating us Americans as a group and why?You do know that there were Japanese internment camps in Canda?

Make sure you have a backup generator. The people I know living off the grid have one. One eighty yrs. +retired nuclear engineer was off the grid until last year when he had a chance to hook up to the local elec. coop. Now he goes 50/50. I think his being blind in one eye and age made him go the other way. I'm sure his wife had a say in this decision too. When you wire your house you might consider that.

"Do you plan to report every crime committed by a Christian too?" If it's considered actual or attempted domestic or international terrorism, yes. "Or are you just displaying your bigotry?"

It was wrong for me to post this and then leave for the rest of the day. In my haste, this thing was no doubt a can of worms to some. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I just like a .45 pistol. I talked to a DEA guy who described being undercover in Mexico only to be surrounded at close range and shot multiple times with 9mm. He said he only went down after being hit once with a .45. He had buddies to confirm his story while he showed me the scars. I have a Glock Model 36 .45. It's compact/easy carry, but only holds six in the magazine. I believe they have a newer compact model in .45, but I am looking for another pistol that holds more rounds in a .45 too. Whatever you buy, you may want to consider carrying one or more spare magazines in proper pouches, and giving the magazine springs a rest once in a while.

Calm down? Get your head out of the sand. This is "like" something right out of an Al-Qaeda ops manual. Did you bother reading the different sources? They pretty much spell it out including a list of post 9/11 unsuccessful attempts for similar targets against civilians. "The jihad threat to the water supply is real. And as far back as 2002, the feds arrested two jihadis who were carrying plans about how to poison water supplies. In 2003, al-Qaeda threatened to poison water supplies in Western countries. In 2011, a jihadi in Spain likewise planned to poison water supplies. And in May 2013, seven Muslim "chemical engineers" were caught trespassing at the Quabbin Reservoir, a key supply of water for Boston, after midnight. Only months later and indirectly did we hear that it was a "criminal matter." That same month, jihadists were caught in Canada who had considered poisoning air and water to murder up to 100,000 people." I believe the man was on a recon mission that went bad. You're right about one thing: it does confirm "my world view" about the goals of Al Qaeda/Islamic extremism in the United States. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foiled_Islamic_terrorist_plots_in_the_post-9/11_United_States "List of unsuccessful terrorist plots in the United States post-9/11" Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I think if you add up the numbers (don't forget 9-11), I think you will find far more acts of terrorism have been committed in the name of Allah in the United States. I don't believe Timothy McVeigh's act of terrorism had anything to do with religion. Please don't recite witch burnings. Let's keep this reasonably up to date.. Of course, this was not an attempted act of terrorism. Right? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I don't know if you've checked lately but we're sure as hell not in danger of running out of humans any time soon. A heap more couples who are happy to go without inflicting their progeny upon the world can only be a good thing, IMO.I agree. I believe the planet cannot sustain what we have onboard now, and it's a cold hard fact that most do not care. Don't worry, the "couples who are happy to go without inflicting their progeny upon the world", are being replaced by people (no racism here) who continue to "breed like flies".
