the church & the open pit ban, page-7

Just a quick word, so I don't get bounced off to the politics section. :) If pedophiles were around girls enough, I am sure they would assault them, too. It just happens that the Catholic Church has been too sexist to have girls doing the altar work, etc. Perhaps the term "homosexuals" irked me- pedophiles aren't gay in that sense- gays are into adults, in my view.

Anyhoo, I know your feelings towards the Catholic Church. I also know you believe you are progressive. I have been around progressives all my life, and it's often the same. it's complex, but it seems that radicals can sometimes appear conservative. Too many years of being around all manner of socialists, communists and anarchists gives me political fatigue. :)

The IRN threads are interesting. It's a good meander.

But how's about this IRN share price! Whooshka!
