1. Lol !

[monmouth4]

2. I wonder if he got in trouble..lol. nt

[msongs]

3. perhaps it tells us something about the priest... nt

[rug]

4. Ah! Is it yours?

[EvilAL]

5. took me a minute to see it, but

[truebrit71]

6. Well that's just creepy as fuck...

Is this a picture from a catholic dating site? If those kids knew what was good for them they should fucking run away as fast as possible....

[rug]

7. If you want to see creepy, check out English public schools.

Oundle School is a good place to start.

[truebrit71]

8. But there's not as many of those, thankfully...

And those are mostly toffee-nosed gits buggering one another, the catholic church on the other hand....

[rug]

9. Ah, "mild pedophilia" as Dawkins called it.

[truebrit71]

10. No, not really.

Young men engaging in sex with other young men in their formative years isn't quite the same thing as grown men preying on and fucking children. You can see the difference, right?

[rug]

11. I see nothing in this thread about pedophilia other than what you brought up.

[truebrit71]

12. Actually, you brought it up specifically....

But back to my question, you can see the difference between public school buggery and grown man fucking children, right?

[rug]

13. Actually I didn't.

Now rather than sully this thread any further, why don't you start a thread about why 'toffee-nosed gits buggering one another" in English boarding schools is better than the Catholic Church.

I'm sure someone here will find that interesting.

[truebrit71]

14. Sorry ruggles old bean, but you are the one that brought it up...

...by posting a picture of a catholic priest surrounded by a bunch of young children. After all isn't the catholic church well known around the world for its pedophile priests, or is that news to you?

Then there was your clumsy swipe at Prof. Dawkins where you actually typed out the word 'pedophilia' for everyone to see.

As you are apparently the one that has an issue with homosexual activities in British public schools, I'll let you explain to everyone why that's worse than the institutional cover-up of the world's largest child-molestation scandal ever.

[rug]

15. . . . . which you immediately equate with pedophilia.

A peculiar turn of mind. I hope it's simply anti-catholic bigotry.

The fact that you fail to see the humor of a angry kid giving the finger on this occasion, posted in this group, rather reinforces a humorless stereotype which, in your case, is not a stereotype at all.

Now go start that thread.

[truebrit71]

16. Because they have a history of molesting kids...You're aware of that, right?

My bias is against child predators, the organizations that cover it up, and their pathetic apologists.

Now then, please explain why homosexual behavior in British public schools, which you seem to have quite a fascination with, is so much worse than widespread child molestation and the subsequent cover-up by the catholic church...

[rug]

17. And that is its entire history, right?

Bigotry and obsession lead to strange interests.

Go start your thread.

[truebrit71]

18. Oh goodness no, it's entire history has even more unsavory aspects to it..

...but the worldwide cover-up is what it is currently most well-known for.

Now then, do be a good lad and explain to us all why all of the British public school homosexuality, is much more of a crime than covering up for all of those of pedophile priests...

[rug]

19. I doubt you know its history given you reglar slanted and uniformed comments.

An interesting attempt by you to turn the issue of sexual abuse in schools to one of homosexuality. Interesting but an unsurprising shift. I can't wait to see your thread.

[truebrit71]

20. Nice try, but you were the one that dId that.

What is truly unsurprising is you running away from a straight forward request brought up by one of your own comparisons.

I can't wait to see your next deflection.

[rug]

22. This entire subthread is a deflection by you from an amusing First Communion picture.

Again, an obsessed, bigoted, humorless, and generally fucked up deflection.

[cleanhippie]

24. That's the SOP. Defend and deflect. No matter what.

[truebrit71]

25. Yup, typical behavior.

Sickening really. Makes a homophobic statement, defends child-molesters, and then flings poo around like a four year old hoping that no-one notices what they're doing.

Pathetic.

[cleanhippie]

37. Unfortunely, it's only because of the "amnesty" that we have to deal with it.

[rug]

27. Typical cleanhippie SOP. Snipe from behind a tree.

Pathetic.

[cleanhippie]

38. What's that on your face?

I think eggs are best over-medium and served on a plate. To each their own...

[rug]

43. What's thatcoming out of your mouth?

Get some paper.

[bvf]

21. Well, there's a picture of a Catholic priest

standing behind a bunch of children who've just had (or are about to have) their first taste of human flesh.

Plus you said "pedophilia" above.

[rug]

23. Well there's another ignorant statement.

"Taste" is the accident, not the substance. If you're going to spend your time loathing something, at least try to figure out what it is. It may, no promises, prevent you from looking foolish

And it's true, he didn't say "pedophilia". He said:

Is this a picture from a catholic dating site?

He added a smiley to everyone would know it was an attempted joke. Not the first one he's made abot pedophilia.

[bvf]

28. Taste may be the accident, but it's flesh nonetheless.

And, if those kids haven't yet eaten it, they're just about to.

You know exactly what I'm talking about. Don't play dumb.

[rug]

29. Those pictures are usually taken before their First Communion.

They're usually second graders and if they don't get the shot now, they never will. I bet they didn't even realize what the kid was doing until after it was developed.

I do know exactly what you're talking about. It's the usual anti-religious bullshit, even in a thread about what second graders do.

I enjoy human humor, but I don't play, bvf.

[bvf]

30. How is pointing out the cannibalism

inherent in catholic doctrine "anti-religious bullshit"?

So they have yet to eat human flesh. They're about to get their shot, as you say.

[rug]

31. You're showing your ignorance - and your mindset - again.

I'll assume it's just ignorance. Google exactly what transubstantiation is.

Assuming it is not you who is playing dumb, which is the most tentative of assumptions, and it's your mindset, then that's the mindset of a deliberate bigot. As in purposeful.

[bvf]

32. Oh, I know exactly what it is.

I also know what the catholic church says you're doing with each trip to the communion rail. If you want a link, just say so.

Flesh. You're eating flesh. Your church says so. No metaphor bullshit, either. You're really eating flesh!

[rug]

33. Then it's the latter.

Deliberate, purposeful bigotry.

Refreshing.

Your next five thoughts are now predictable.

[bvf]

45. Tsk, tsk.

[truebrit71]

48. As was your inevitable hide...

[cleanhippie]

40. Why is it both humorous and painful to watch the devout deny the very traditions they hold dear?

Perhaps we know that they understand the total absurdity of it all, yet are powerless to resist defending it as not absurd at all.

[bvf]

42. Yep, lean on an absurdity long enough

and eventually you can't walk without it.

And it's amazing, the shit one can excuse as a result.

[cleanhippie]

39. When I hear of someone getting a shot, inoculation not indoctrination comes to mind.

But that's just me.

[stone space]

26. Hilarious!

[stone space]

34. It took me a while.

For the longest time, I was wondering what was so funny about that kid in the middle front who had his hands clasped down in front of him, rather than in a prayerful position like the rest.

I mean, maybe it wasn't quite protocol, but hardly worth posting.

[rug]

35. I was wondering about him too.

Maybe he's just an agnostic.

Whereas, that kid in the back . . . .

[stone space]

36. I can see myself doing something like that at that age.

I mean the kid in front, not the one in back.

It's kinda' like not doing the Pledge of Allegiance.

[cleanhippie]

41. Given the environment, he knows where his hands will provide the most protection.

And also knows what an exercise in futility clasping your hands in prayer actually is.

Smartest one in the bunch.

[Still Blue in PDX]

46. I just see a bunch of cute kids in church.

I am not entirely convinced that the kid in the back has a clue what that gesture means. He may just be mimicking a gesture he's seen adults making in traffic.

[bvf]

47. I see a crime waiting to happen.
