Condensing 2,000 years of policy, principles, religion, conflict, and more into just a dozen words or so.

Can't wait to see your thoughtful insights into world wars I and II, nuclear proliferation, the partition of the Indian subcontinent, the Renaissance, etc.

You're the one mocking the pope. Keep it up. You've shown how low you Hillary supporters will go. think Apr 2016 #19

I mocked the POPE! To the guillotine with me! boston bean Apr 2016 #25

Bernie speaks on global poverty & you vent contempt. Hillary makes millions speaking to corrupt bank think Apr 2016 #35

I vent contempt for a good reason. boston bean Apr 2016 #37

How about some contempt for Goldman Sachs and the banks that are violating the law with impunity? think Apr 2016 #49

How about some from you? boston bean Apr 2016 #50

Pope Francis: Who am I to judge gay people? think Apr 2016 #84

I was always for LGBT rights. I realize our dem politicians are all johnny come lately's. boston bean Apr 2016 #86

I guess that's ok for all but one. Cassiopeia Apr 2016 #145

One seeked out the POPE in 2016 for political purposes during an election. boston bean Apr 2016 #146

Ah, continuing the thoroughly debunked bullshit lies. Cassiopeia Apr 2016 #147

Per you maybe. boston bean Apr 2016 #148

Bernie didn't stand in the way, he never opposed marriage equality. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #95

Oh yes he did. You need to have some education on that. I'm not willing to educate you on it. boston bean Apr 2016 #96

I know it's not true and so do you, that's why you won't post a link. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #98

It's a fact. boston bean Apr 2016 #100

Yeah, saying that doesn't make it any more true, especially when that's all you have. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #104

That aint all I have. I'm just not your educator. boston bean Apr 2016 #113

That is all you have, actually. You're obviously not anyone's educator, thankfully. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #117

Thankfully, is right. It's hard to educate some who won't learn. boston bean Apr 2016 #118

Said the person who refuses to watch the video and has no facts just an opinion.. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #121

I refused to watch a video? Can you see my computer screen or something? boston bean Apr 2016 #122

I can tell time, the video is longer than the one minute it took you to respond. Try again. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #125

You said I refused to watch a video. How do you know that? boston bean Apr 2016 #127

Did you watch it in one minute? No? Thanks! Have you watched it yet? beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #130

How do you know whether I watched it or not? And then say I refused to watch it. boston bean Apr 2016 #133

Because it takes longer than one minute and it debunkes your untruth. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #135

Is it your own video? Do you have control to know when it was viewed and by whom? boston bean Apr 2016 #136

That's what I thought, again... beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #138

The core tenants of discriminating against women and LGBT... OK. boston bean Apr 2016 #9

There are no core tenets discriminating against LGBT. Kentonio Apr 2016 #24

I didn't say anything about individual catholics, did I? boston bean Apr 2016 #26

How you deal with the head of a religious organization.. Kentonio Apr 2016 #33

OH YES I CAN! LOL boston bean Apr 2016 #34

Well you can, but you'll just be doing the equivilent of banging your head repeatedly against a wall Kentonio Apr 2016 #36

LOL, most of the regulars of the catholic church agree with me, not the fucking pope. boston bean Apr 2016 #39

Your preferred candidate is an ethically challenged corporate tool who FlatBaroque Apr 2016 #10

My guy never agreed with him about the "marriage is a sacred bond" crock. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #38

He says the POPE is a "beautiful man". Sorry, I'm not willing to over look boston bean Apr 2016 #41

And what did Hillary say about the Reagans? And when she sucked up to Rick Warren? beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #43

My selective outrage??? LOFL! Look in a mirror. boston bean Apr 2016 #45

umm, you aren't stalking me well enough, I suppose. boston bean Apr 2016 #48

Don't flatter yourself. You're backing a candidate who agreed with the pope until recently. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #53

You keep on stating what it is I do here. What else am I to think. boston bean Apr 2016 #55

Said the op with absolutely no trace of irony after smearing Bernie supporters. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #59

I smeared Bernie supporters. I made an observation. boston bean Apr 2016 #63

LOL! You accuse us of something and when we object that proves our guilt? beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #67

I objected to the support the POPE receives here. Some are willing to overlook boston bean Apr 2016 #69

No you object to the support Bernie recieved for meeting him. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #71

And you support it. I don't. I don't know why that seems to bother you so. boston bean Apr 2016 #72

How do you know what I support? Prove your claim or admit you made it up. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #73

You seem to take great offense to my writings here. boston bean Apr 2016 #75
