I agree that some (not all) people are taking the easy way out. The problem is since people have been able to do it (and the frequency seems to be increasing), can the church get a hold of the problem and take care of it without driving people away?

Do you think that a tough stand on divorce will help retain catholics or drive them away? With the prevelence of divorce in today's society, a tough stance may drive people away from the church. What do you think?

I haven't followed the workings of the Catholic church, so I had no idea which way they would go or how many Cardinals were appointed by JPII.

Does the church want a conservative Pope, or are they going to want someone more liberal?

What are the chances of a Greek, American or Mexican Pope?

Well, if people are going to have a hissy fit because they did not get their way (their guy did not win), then I have no trouble with them leaving. I, personally, have no desire to follow them.

Why would AD care about whether there are Republicans there or not?

One that looks nice...and not too expensive.

You still have some interest from the Cardinals. There is no reason to dump him yet because you can still get something for him.

The group referred to in the first article you cited is ETIM (Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement) or sometimes referred to as (ETIP) Eastern Turkistan Islamic Party. ETIM does have significant ties to AQ (and the Taliban) in the form of training and funding, but they are a pretty small group and China has already stated that they will not recognize any of their demands.

I was sitting in my living room, watching the game with my brother.

Kristy and I will keep her in our prayers.

Expect him to be gone before the next show.

Any recommendations on equipment for the beginning brewer?

I saw that and I saw other definitions of mail fraud (I owe GG $0.02). I do not see how they would be able to charge you with mail fraud. If they did, it would be such a stretch that there is no way a judge would allow it to go beyond saying, "don't do it again, now both of you get out of my courtroom."

How is it mail fraud?

I can. I debated on brewing my own, but I do not drink enough to make it worth it. Since you are one of the redident brewmasters, can you brew just a little at a time or do you have to brew a case at least?

6%? I think it is time to move. Well, they can't stop you from brewing your own as long as you do not sell it, right?

You are correct. Scrap lead works well. Very heavy.

You can take the pre-paid envelopes and fill them with your junk mail and return it to CaptialOne. It may not stop it, but you get at least a little satisfaction in knowing that you are making them pay for you sending them your junk mail.

How did they use Congresional power? Please be specific.

I am not saying that the left aren't hypocrits. They are. They call for tolerance in other POV's, but yet hate it and do everything they can to make sure that opposing POV are either eliminated or discredited in the minds of Joe Public. They have no trouble distorting the truth or flat-out lying in order to achieve these goals. I brought up the abortion debate to show that both sides are willing to resort to unethical and sometimes violent tactics. Saying one is worse than the other is just flat-out wrong. They are both guilty, but are guilty in different ways.

Hey, I am trying to get this bounced to PPP so I can then bounce it to the Testing forum.

Clinton did the same thing, so again there is no difference between the sides.
