re: #3 Shvaughn

Actually, this seems like a really bad case of taking words out of context.

The full quote from the pope is pretty straightforward and sensible, and doesn’t actually say what this article alleges.

He does say those very words. It’s a quote. He also says it’s wrong to kill (give that boy a medal!), but goes on to say that punching in response to being offended is “natural”. This is exactly the wife beater’s defence. If you are going to flat out deny the content of an article you really should think about at least trying to give some backup to your claim, otherwise it just looks like trolling. Especially with the downdinging and all.

PS Aren’t you the same Shvaughn who went completely mental on me because I once jokingly called conservatives “shits”? Makes me wonder what your original LGF nic was.
