There are many more differences besides just how they worship and holy days observed. I'm not Catholic and I'm not an expert on the subject, but I know enough to have questions about it. Seems like you know even less
OT...the Pope is a funny fellow

Billions huh? Being dramatic isn't being smart. Let me help you a bitIn all fairness, considering life expectancy was I'm sure well below 100 years back then, doing the math the total numbers of human's living on just the past 10,000 years would easily be over 1 billion, and very possibly upwards of 2 billion. Not to mention the population of the thousands of years prior to this scale. It's not like human's instantly appeared at 10,000BCE with 5 million people and started from there. I don't know if humans on this planet go as far back as 200,000 years, but if humans do go back that far, then the 10,000 years represented above is just a small fraction of the total.
Sorry, but
. You truly are legend in your own mind. It must be the THC marinade that is your brain.Right, and he wants me to give up air conditioning? All the while every building in the Vatican is a cool 76 degrees...around here we call that a hypocrite.
Everyone enjoy a special "Blood Moon" which is about at maximum in the land of tall corn at the moment. Perhaps throw up a prayer for all aborted persons of the earth, since Francis failed to mention those lives that should matter...
He was too busy sucking up the agenda of political correctness to worry about one of the all-time staples of the Catholic Church...
On second thought, I'll just keep my comments to myself and try to forget this thread even happened.
To be honest, I really think it's been great lately without any mods. Which is odd to say the least......
I changed my mind about the Pope. He prayed that the Longhorns would get hosed by the officials and go on to lose the game. That Pope is an OK kind of guy.
Hitting the report button seems to get threads like this removed. But from my view, those who wish to participate do and those who don't want to don't have to.
Self moderation is the way to go. I think everybody who moderated this board ended up disliking the role and this board. We're all adults. The ignore feature also works beautifully on this new system. It's like anybody you ignore no longer exists.
Hear hear!
I certainly would like to believe that no one here would be so petty and vindictive as to 'report' a thread...like a woman would. (no offense, SS)
Self policing is the way to go.
Besides, put a couple of weeks between what hacked you off and the present, and I doubt most of us would remember what the dust up was about, generally speaking.
Carry on reprobates!
My only gripe about self-moderation is that marijuana usage on this board has sky-rocketed. But once you let the coolness settle into your vertebrae (2nd-hand smoke of course), everything looks so green.
I've never felt that moderators were necessary, but more importantly they couldn't ever seem to be just a fan, and that always seemed unfair to me. Hardly no way to win. I admire anyone that would agree to take on that most difficult task. But I like it the way we have it now for all reasons that have already been mentioned,
Yep, Bama, that was the suck for any mods, (that's why I turned it down the two times it was offered)...and that was they just couldn't be normal fans.
It's like they had to abdicate that aspect of their life, which was just galling to me, as a fan.
It wasn't even subtle either.
It was overt!
Well, it's little Mary sunshine...just joshing ya 83.
What's the deal with you...are you doing a quality over quantity thing now...Mmm, well, we've discussed it, and we'd like you to post a lot of quantity, over quality...
Just saying...
Ya no doubt this would have been a pretty rough way to visit the site day to day as a mod. Not really being able to enjoy chatting about sports and always having to deal with daily drama.
Regardless of the dispute or subject, the moderator was wrong in the eyes of one side. I get it. I got it at the time. What I didn't know is how much I would dread getting on the board to read every thread I didn't care to read. It made me bitter towards some posters here and I hated that. And I won't even mention the emails. I much prefer reading what I want and not worrying what the consequences of action and inaction will be.
I'll never say yes to message board moderation again. Unless large sums of cash will trade hands. Then I'm all about it.
I was told by a reliable source that he puts that hat on so he can move diagonally. They learn that as Bishops.
Can anyone spot the irony?
