    Wouldn't illegitimate acts legitimatize the attacked not the attacker?

    Pearl Harbor didn't exactly give kudos to the Japanese.

    I have to say that this thing has taken off, to my surprise. I've learned more about Scientology, and can explain why I severely dislike it.

    Also, on the previously cited website, I watched a video where some scientologists constantly harangued Mark (Bunker?) about his previous crimes and attacking Scientology as a 'cult' as labeled in Germany.

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    The victor writes the history. If Japan had won or at least not lost I am sure it'd be remembered by them at least as a daring raid that allowed them to gain parity over the Xenophobic Americans who responded by illegally placing all those of Japanese birth in concentration camps.

    Scientology is a malignant cancer and needs to be destroyed. It's to widespread for simple excision, so chemotherapy is required. That might not be nice, and has side effects but it is worth it in the long run.

    I've known a number of scientologists over the years and read of a number more. On the whole, I can't say that I've had much of a problem with them. One of them was a co-worker who'd gotten a psych discharge from the navy -- bit whacky but not really dangerous. The others have all seemed a little odd, but never threatening or difficult to get along with. So, why do your describe it as "malignant?"

    Because they scam you out of money or they threaten to kick you out. The whole organisation is corrupt on a level the Catholic church wishes. They attack anyone who says anything negative with attack dog lawyers. They are a cult of loonies, lead by the biggest names in tax evasion and scamming.

    Also, the main reason people like Tom Cruise are in Scientology is because of the tax-free banking. They "transport their money to a UFO" underneath the religions tax-free status.

    They should remove tax-free status of religion.

    A cardinal under investigation in a sprawling corruption scandal denied wrongdoing and insisted today he acted for the good of the Catholic church while handling real estate transactions for the Vatican office that funds missionary work abroad.
    Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe of Naples told a press conference said he forgave his accusers and was going ahead serenely while accepting the "cross" that the investigation had brought on him.

    Prosecutors are trying to untangle an alleged web of kickbacks involving billions of euros worth of contracts for such mega-projects as preparing 2000 Holy Year events in Rome, the 2009 Group of Eight summit and rebuilding the quake-shattered town of L'Aquila.

    Sepe's real estate transactions at the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples are under scrutiny since they involved some of the key figures implicated in the probe, including prime minister Silvio Berlusconi's disaster chief, Guido Bertolaso.
    The scandal marks the second major crisis implicating top church officials this year following the clerical abuse crisis.

    On the upside, the Vatican camorra has forgiven those who critise it. Far more refined than a horse's head in a bed, that much is true.

    Gentlemen, this thread is about Scientology and its travails.

    I'm sure you will get some other chance to put the boot into the Roman Catholic Church in short enough order.

    Thank you kindly.
