Gee, thanks for the link. And the warning. That was a pretty pathetic spectacle of a thread wasn’t it? By me, the fact that women joined in the yuck-yucks was more sad than anything.

 

Can we talk? The first time you listed one of those weird-type links a couple of months back, I was curious and visited your profile. I clicked on the “homepage” you gave and ended up on that hard core site - the one with the bazillion gay male porn photos. Whassup with all that? Not the porn. The links.

Weird links? Examples. I actually think i know the other link you are talking about and it was no big deal. But you like to make alot out of nothing.

 

The fact that the admins or whoever got rid of the link i just posted this morning is pretty damn lame. It was a thread on soxtalk that did no harm then... why is it a threat now? I had only linked it not bumped it and i do not see why it matters either way.

We didn't get rid of the link, you formatted it wrong. You are going to have a little break becuase of the link in your profile, which you know has been a rule for who knows how long.

I’m sorry about that. It certainly wasn’t my intention to get Qwerty in trouble; I wasn’t aware of whatever rule you’re referring to.

 

But now that you mention it, when I first started posting I looked all over the place to try to find out what the site “rules” were, if any, so I wouldn’t step wrong. Never did find anything. So like practically the first thing that happened was that a really innocent photo I contributed to the Naked Rambler thread got removed for being somehow objectionable. I thought it was pretty ironic considering some of the “acceptable” content I’d seen, but hey, I wasn’t about to start weeping over it, either. Not my site, not my call. Is there some thread somewhere with The Rules? Thanks.

It's been stated numerous times that we don't allow links to porn sites, is all. I'm not familiar with the naked rambler thread, though.

I’ve been curious as to why there isn’t one of those standard “Read This before You Post” or FAQ type of things to allow new posters to get up to speed on the site’s dos and don’ts. Since Soxtalk has been around for awhile, I figure it must be a conscious philosophical decision not to have such, rather than not having the time to do so. Just wondered what the reasoning was behind that decision.

Because we end up arguing all the time on some hard and fast rules. I guess we could post some, but they are mostly common sense.

 

The issue with qwerty is that he's been here forever and still did it.

Actually Mercy! I think there is somewhere... when I get some time I'll look them up - I might have them somewhere on my local pc because I know we talked about this.

 

Good thought, and I appreciate that.

For immediate release:

 

Catholics for Faithful Citizenship

 

[email protected] 

 

 

 

 

 

Catholic Charities of Boston has recently come under attack by right wing dissidents who object to the appearance of the Mayor of Boston at the group’s annual Christmas dinner. The protestors also object to the policy of Catholic Charities that applies to assistance to same sex couples adopting troubled foster children.  They of course overlook that Catholic Charities is simply being a good citizen of Massachusetts by following state law that requires them to work with same sex couples. It is clear that the intent of Catholic Charities is to comply with the law rather than to disagree with Church teachings.

 

 

 

In a recent letter to his email list, Republican Catholic surrogate and attack dog, Deal Hudson stated, "It is time to put 'Catholic' beliefs and teachings back into Catholic Charities of Boston."  Apparently in RCIA class, Hudson missed the vast section concerning the Catholic beliefs and teachings that are the core of Catholic Charities.

 

 

 

Catholic Charities certainly lives up to the teachings of the Catholic Church by providing basic needs and services to more than 150,000 people each year. These services include food and fuel assistance, which is of greater concern this year than ever before due to the recent immoral budget cuts passed by Hudson’s GOP friends in the House of Representatives.

 

 

 

The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that a society that wishes and intends to remain at the service of the human being at every level is a society that has the common good, the good of all people and the whole person as its primary goal.

 

 

 

Hudson and other right wing Catholic dissidents should focus less on their narrow issues and focus more on the common good of all. Catholic Charities of Boston is a living example of the Catholic Social Tradition and their actions this Christmas season will be a beacon of hope for those who are the least among us.

 

As part of President Bush's Faith Based initiative we have these faith/secular law issues. I am a big fan of Bush's initiative and applaud Churches that offer help within the secular laws that are in place.

One reason is as soon as we print a list, there are some posters who will see how far they can push each rule. We are trying to handle this more like a family, than as a anonymous city. Sometimes it works well, other times it blows up in our faces.

Just in case anyone other than me cares...there is an episode of "ER" being filmed 1 floor above my head today.

 

Update: Just walked past a chair labeled "James Woods." Now singing "I'm with James Woods" in my head.

Clarificatio. Rhymes with fellatio. I think your student is trying to plant subliminal thoughts in the teacher's head. :)
