A Catholic Case Against Obama

[Rhyfelwyr]

Something I've noticed from what little I see of Obama in the UK news is that he doesn't seem to talk with much respect to women. He always seems to be calling them sweetie or something like that.

REMOVED

Some people didn't like it and took it in a way that was not intended...

Catholics should love him...

I take that as a personal insult. As a Catholic, I find the lack of chivalry shown towards women these days disgusting.

I blame feminism.

It was a joke, clearly one not taken that way...

It was.

That is a bigoted and baseless statement. Are Catholics particularly known for their misogyny in Australia, more so than the general populace?

Settle.. it was a joke...

There, I've removed it. I would appreciate if you and EMFM did as well.

EDIT: Let me make it obvious - I bear no grudge against Catholics, I know several myself. Its just that most of the misogynists I have met in teh past have also been Catholics, perhaps leaving me with the wrong impression of the church. I apologise to anyone who was offended... I really do feel bad about it.

I thought it was funny

You also live in Australia where Roman Catholicism is the largest religious denomination. I'm sure that you've met a number of Catholics who are egalitarian crusaders.

26.48% not dominating and it is eclipsed by all the mainstream Protestant groups so ya. Dude its a joke. I'm surprised after the way you make fun of some foreign countries you cant take a little catholic joke.

[KukriKhan]

Let us all resolve to always insert some indication of our joking intention when we mean no harm. A smilie, 'j/k', [/joke], something to distinguish our humorous intent from a group-bash.

This text-based environment, where we can't see tongues-in-cheek, or facial expressions or body language, demands it.

I'm sure all here agree.

This ends today's public service announcement.

Does that make my claim illegitimate? When I said that Roman Catholicism was the largest denomination was I wrong? It means that you are statistically more likely to meet a Catholic throughout Australia than a member of ANY other individual religious denomination. Classing protestants together is also convenient if you neglect the reality that many "Protestant" denominations are more different from one another than Episcolalians/Anglicans and Lutherans are different from Roman Catholics.

Not offended at all, which is why I made the comment I did.

Wow looks like I dropped a bombshell. I think we need one of the good old threads where me and TuffStuff start arguing with everyone in a Christian/atheist split, then start arguing with each other in a Calvinist/Catholic split, then argue with all the Lutherans and Anglicans that join in and try to compromise with us, then we all regroup to start arguing with everyone else again, and then just keep doing this cycle till the thread either peters out or gets locked.

I think that's what the Backroom's been missing lately.

Also what happened to your brother TuffStuff? I was looking forward to seeing him in the next abortion thread...

He lost his job, was cheated on by his fiance, had his best friends mother die and was robbed at gunpoint last month. He may need some time to start shooting the ****...

Woah.

Yes I have - including some former Prime Ministers.

I shall insert a wink next time Kukri

I suppose that's just about an acceptable excuse.

But what is the logic of these extreme end of pregnancy abortions being legal?

Some of the logic behind it is when a pregnancy goes bad, and the best way out for everyone is a late abortion.
