Ok. Seriously. WTF. Anbody here go to Catholic school or was an altar boy? Are you ok? This is what happens when menaren't allowed to "release their natural juices."

There should be a seriousinternational investigation into all the branches of the Catholicchurch. How/Why do they allow this to go on when they are supposed to be themoral compass of Catholics everywhere.

Fromthe article:

The report by an independent commission said Catholic officials failed to tackle the widespread abuse "to prevent scandals". The suspected number of abuse victims who spent some of their youth in church institutions is between likely lies 10,000 and 20,000, according to a summary of the report.

Based on a survey of more than 34,000 people, the commission estimated that one in 10 Dutch children suffered some form of abuse. The number doubled to 20 percent of children who spent part of their youth in an institution - whether Catholic or not.

It's one of the best shows on TV now, but the first few episodes are pretty slow. If you're intointrigue and a (very) unpredictable storyline, then keep on watching. If you want something akin to a Michael Bay movie, then stick to something vapid, like Transformers:P.

Watch Tosh.0 and you'll see some really good ones. If not, just search for "Friday" and watch the first video you find (over and over and over):twisted:

Oh, the irony. Ray Bradbury hated technology.CRS98

I can't stand their computers:evil:. The iPhone on the other hand is a great device.

E-books are convenient, but, call me old fashioned, I love physical media. I certainly hope e-books and services like Steam don't kill physical media in the future.

For those of you who haven't read Fahrenheit 451, it's about a world where the gov't burn all books and everyone just watches TV, or something like it, all day. People are sent to jail if they are found with a book. The gov't controls all information and people are basically now sheep.

Withembedded programslike Carrier IQ coming to the surface, we should all be careful of a full transition to digial formats. With a click of a button entire libraries of information could be vaporized. What do you guys think about this transtion to digial media?

No respect! No Respect! Where's Ron Paul. Either him or Huntsman would do the best. Perry and Bachmann would get destroyed because of their extreme pandering. Romney flip-flopped too much. Gingrich is ok I guess, but I think alot of his lobbying and personal activities would be a distraction.

Every year there's the usual slate of Christmas show/movies that all the channels show. What's your favorite thing to watch that makes it feel like the holiday season is finally here? For me it's the Muppet Christmas Carol and Scrooged (yeah, that old movie with Bill Murray). Sometimes I watch the old How the Grinch Stole Christmas. What do you guys watch every year?

Since he's an ordained minister, you would thinkCain would at least practice what he (literally)preaches.

I always held a tinge of regret when Mr. Freeze lost ( except when Arnold played him). He's not really a bad guy. He just wants to help his wife.
