The Pope has said he regrets the effects of his speech in the muslim world. His regrets have been rejected by the more extreme factions, accepted by the larger muslim organizations.
Several christian churches have been torched or assaulted with molotov cocktails, an elderly christian nun was murdered by two men who shot her in the back.
So what's to be expected next ?
I'll let you people have your say.
at this point. it's probably better to just let my people go go.
Your people ?
Go go ?
Yeah sure.

Looks like the Vatican is going to have to put the Salvation Army on active duty.
Looks like the situation is still about status quo. still the same as yesterday and the day before.
The pope says he was misunderstood but the doesn't intend to offer apologies.
WW III, Deep Fried Cheesesticks ?
You aren't exactly the most optimistic person around, are you ?
[FONT size=6]optimistic?[/FONT]
[FONT size=6]yes, but not about the pope and muslims. both are dark..organization of religion is the downfall of humankind, not video games![/FONT]
I'm probably less optimistic than D F Cheesesticks. With the military coup in Thailand- Lead man in coup being a muslim, and something like 1700 dead in southern Thailand<admittedly, probably a 1-2 year timeframe> but still related to muslim uprisings, it seems more and more violence in current events are directly related to muslims.
Look at France. They probably have five years left. What is it, something like 30% of their population now muslim immigrants? As a country, they won't be recognizable in 5 years. Or less. And their gov't, too, more importantly. Russia and the Chechens...its really all over the world.
I would say things are beginning to darken for western civilization.

Oooh, that's witty, kitten.
You're good in this kind of thing, I seem to remember.
Mutilated means losing something you had before ???
Mega means huge ???
I'm wondering if you have a different dictionary than I do.
Did I say anywhere these were dictionary definitions ?
I was defining those words for you poor wraiths who have no comprehension without a dictionary, and out of the goodness of my heart, I made those definitions easy. :)
Seriously, these are just intuitive ways of understanding words, and you shouldn't be as finicky as to require literal dictionary definitions every time anybody is trying to explain something. This stuff isn't that important, you know. It's just for the needs of discussions without much substance really. Just look at most of the discussions here, you'll know what I mean.
How many ways do you think there are of defining "table" ?
Think a bit.
Wraiths? I may be wrong, but I'm convinced that contributors to this board are physical beings. Ghosts would have difficulty with the typing.
Why do you like to indulge in discussions without substance? Is it simply a way to insult as many people as you can with your patronizing arrogance? It tends to pall after a while, and it never was that amusing.
rofl
I hope I spelled that right.
A magnificent unsheathing of claws, kitten.
Once in a while they require sharpening.
You evidently did a wonderful job last time.
Have you noticed a conspicuous absence?
Now you come to mention it....
Why is it that you people always must feel you've "won", whatever the actual situation ?
Do I have to spell it out to you obnoxious and arrogant wr-- erhm, not "wraiths", sorry - creatures shall we say, that I have more to do in my life than waiting on you in this forum and replying to whatever your incredible superciliousness inspires you ?
This thread has been spoiled once more by this little bunch of sorry excuses for forumgoers. Didn't I ask you before to please stay out of my threads, kitten ? You are absolutely impervious to any remark which doesn't flatter your feeling of superiority, so it's no use.
Thanks.
Just FYI : "wraiths" was a mistyping of mine, what I wanted to say was "waifs" but I didn't get the right word in my mind (as you dear friends know - because I told you before - I am not a native English speaker).
Moreover, if ever you want to look for threads without substance, just look for those with a few posts by yourself, kitten. There's where no substance is to be found.

Oopsie woopsie - yeah sure, you are absolutely right.
kitten did more of the same and wrote:

Oops again. Yeah sure.
and if this wasn't enough, kitten wrote some more:

Tell me how I am overbearing and contentious ?
As for being nice, I don't give a damn - as long as it is possible to have an actual discussion with you, which it isn't.
