Counterbalance is always needed in debate. However, trashing someone for a different viewpoint isn't counterbalance. That happens alot on these forums.

Indeed!
Thank's for taking the time to reply! I allways appreciate that.
I gess that you allready saw from my bad English that I am a non English speaker and so you must know that it is getting late across the Atlantic here. I just googled the latest BBC and Oservatore Romano (the Vatican newspaper sites) but there is no news there now. I think that they will bring the news of the popes dead in the morning (here) so the Chair has some time to prepare a declaration.

Verry strange BTW, BBC, France Inter and Radio Roma1 brought news from the Russian pressbureau "Itar Tass" that they said that he allready died or is braindead.
Strange, do does old spies still have more information inside the Vatican the our bureaus have :)

Have a good night!

Odd, how "Bushrepublicanliars" whines about flaming, yet his/her very name...

Go back to mummy, you Bush loving freak (I like it that you don't like my name :) you must be one of of those Adolf Bush fans. It hurts isn't it :sniper: :D

Yeeesh. Flame-a-palooza. Adolf Bush? The Hell?

I think his name is funny. Not in a hahaha way, but just, in a stupid way. But then, a secular Agnostic shouldn't call his nation Holy Sheep.

after Gizoogling CNN ive come up with this

"A group prays fo` tha pizzy near tha Vatican.

Pope Jizzle Pizzle II remains in "very serious condition" today, but he is "lucid, F-U-Double-Lizzy conscious" n "very serene," Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarrizzles said cuz I'm fresh out the pen. Navarrizzles said tha pope's blood pressure was "unstable" but that tha pontiff's condition was "stationary."



I dont know if anyone else feels the same, but that was the most entertaining paragraph ive read all week

That lost something cuz the pope is... well old. And not a Gangsta Black.

Wow, this thread has been mega-merged. Are there really that many duplicate threads?

I find it remarkable that the Pope is still alive. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised. This guy is a fighter. He fought the Nazis literally, fought the Soviets with words, and fought his health for over twelve years.
BTW, the Vatican just released a statement. He is still in critical condition, but he is "responding correctly", whatever the heck that means. We unfortunatly won't have another statement until tommarow morning Vatican time.

the pope is dead...urm...so i read anyway...i mean they say his brain is dead so really he is dead...cant speak, think etc...pretty much dead....not much point in living..like that shyboe woman...

He's not dead yet. He is still responsive, for one.

He has a very high fever.

May the good Lord call him home soon. May the Pope Rest in Peace when he does die. The world is losing a really good guy.

At least for the moment.

oh..ok...um..sorry

i am not a Catholic, and i have little respect for some of the actions of the Catholic church under the current Pope.....but the man is a human, and if he is going to die soon, i wish him a quick and painless death....which is what i would wish upon anybody

:(

I could not have said this better, I agree on all points.

oh..ok...um..sorry

Hey no problem dude :)

Well, there are worse places to be. I find it horrible to be on a cruiseship, for example. They are rarely able to get any TV as they are so far from land, let alone any newspapers or radio transmissions.

AP: Pope John Paul II has died.

The lights are still on though. I hope this isn't a false alarm.

Everyone is now reporting that he is dead, and the Vatican has released an official statement. Churches all over the world are tolling their bells in mourning. He is in my thoughts and prayers.

He is also in my thoughts and prayers too.

he apologized to the jews for the idiocy of Pope Pius XII. that's enough for me to wish him an easy departure despite my judaism and intense distrust of the catholic church (though plenty of catholics i know can be quite agreeable)
