Why do you think Pope Francis sucks?

He stands for a system and institution that I’m very opposed to, and ultimately is opposed to me and much of what I hold dear. I do give him credit for pushing the church in a more progressive direction on certain issues.

EDIT: Sucks is an unprofessional word, but hey I suck too so I can get away with saying it.

I see. Your opinion is noted and logged.

Why do you think Pope Francis sucks?

Anyway, here’s a fun one.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/rick-santorum-students-should-learn-cpr-not-seek-gun-laws/2018/03/25/57cb532c-3070-11e8-b6bd-0084a1666987_story.html?utm_term=.284b2ad55fdc

Former Pennsylvania Sen. and perpetually moronic Rick Santorum said Sunday that students who have rallied for gun control should instead learn CPR or find their own way to prevent a school shooting.

“How about kids instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about maybe taking CPR classes or trying to deal with situations that when there is a violent shooter that you can actually respond to that,” the Republican said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

The 2012 and 2016 presidential candidate said students could work to stop bullying in their communities or respond themselves to a shooter instead of asking lawmakers to approve legislation to protect them.

I may have added a bit of my own commentary at the beginning.

Santorum is an ass.

It doesn’t matter if you liked it or not. I’m kinda hot and cold with it, but I’m not pretending the stuff I didn’t like is the product of corporate boardroom calculations.

nor am I. Like I said, I don’t know who is calling the shots. But the boardroom is either making the decisions or hired those that are, so they are somewhat responsible.

Yes but there’s a massive difference between hiring filmmakers and demanding what the filmmakers do.

I agree.

perhaps, but I still found it entertaining.

Just saw this on the net.

it was composed by by a 12 year old girl

amazing.

Here is violin concerto she wrote

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zad7fkhGzzs

wow.

Thanks for making me feel even more incompetent. This is fantastic.

Yeah, playing piano and violin is overkill.

In case you didn’t realize it, she also composes.

Yeah. The brat. Makes my compositions sound like they were done by a normal 12 year old. Okay, well maybe they do sound like that.

I could be wrong, but she sounds like she could sing too. Listen to the notes she sings here.

For the record, I liked Rogue One.

I don’t care if you don’t like TLJ, that’s fine. But when you blame Disney suits for making the movie bad, you just sound like a conspiracy theorist.

I blame whomever made the decisions for TLJ, but I have no idea exactly who made what decisions. If the suits didn’t make the decisions, fine. Of course they either made the decisions themselves or hired the people that are making the decisions, so they are in some form or another party responsible.

Whomever was behind the decision making, I don’t like TLJ. I think I have the right to not like it.

Because we totally said you didn’t have the right.

But it was made quite clear my opinions weren’t welcome in the TLJ threads.

Warb, people complain about TLJ on this forum everyday.

I’m just saying how when I complained the reaction felt. Which is why I stopped posting in the TLJ threads.

Sure.

Classic warb.

Please explain.

There’s a certain antagonism here toward people that don’t like the Disney movies. It’s similar to the antagonism directed toward people that don’t think the prequels are the worst films ever made.

This.

and speaking Fukushima, I think fracking(if it causes earthquakes) and nuclear power plants are not a good combination.

^ Lots of things are bad combinations but nobody is suggesting those two will be combined.

I’m in favour of Nuclear as a stop-gap at least but not Fracking. If Fracking companies are prepared to pay for any and all damages incurred then fine

How do you pay for loss of life in earthquakes caused by fracking?

but (in the UK at least) they have arranged it so they are immune from prosecution. Drill under my house. House falls in hole. Tough sh*t.

If that is so, that is absolutely ridiculous.

I think he’s agreeing with you.

Nuclear power is one promising source of energy but inspires fears greater than earthquakes for anyone living near one.

Just ask the of three mile island and Chernobyl about that.

You forgot Fukushima.

that too.

Mrebo said:

Aside from his desire to bomb all the countries, okay. My hope is that he won’t be taken seriously.

If we had someone like Hillary in the Oval Office, that might be the case. But with the current clown . . .

Just ask the people of three mile island and Chernobyl about that.

edit: you can also ask the people of Fukushima.
