I did not know Cardinals and Archbishops were just "some priests" - aren't they quite a bit more powerful and influenchal?

Yeah, I thought it was condom use and it was, instead, abortion. My mistake. The links are up.

EDIT: Some links are the same as Cycloneman's, he beat me by four minutes or so. The other issue - In 2003: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3176982.stm http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2003/oct/09/aids In 2004: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/panorama/3844945.stm In 2006: http://www.catholic.org/international/inte...ry.php?id=19561 And in 2007: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7014335.stm http://www.whatthefak.com/geography/africa...e-infected-aids I'll admit that other branches of Christianity are also at fault, but the Catholic Church does not seem to have completely abandoned their old ways.

Here's some info about Amnesty International and the Catholic Church - as for the other issue I'll look into it and see if I can find some sources for you. A.I. vs. C.C.

I've ordered gifts for the people I actually exchange gifts with, not because I'm a Christan but because it's a change to be with other people and get free loot.

Like spreading misinformation about condoms and AIDs/HIV in Africa and asking Catholics to not give to institutions such as Amnesty International because they, the NGOs, support the use of abortion? Sorry, but until they reign in their missionaries and officials I'm not going to be singing praise about their "efforts."

I would almost divide the extremists' Islam into a separate religion, apart and separate from the moderates'.

Sigworthy? I think it might be... Anyways, "British Literature Paper: The Extra-long Edition."

You really should - exbert and advanced are the way to play.

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say, is this a comment or a question?

I'm mainly playing BioShock and Assassin's Creed - although I am still a little miffed that the former requires an on-line activation (no installation limits though, and that's not a bad thing for I would not have bought the game if it still had them).

Deus Ex, for those who do not know, can be played for free via GameTap.

Lulz... If it's half as complicated -not that I disliked that- as the PC version it will tank on the console market.

Nah, Vista's not that bad...

Looks good - it should be able to run just about anything circa 2008 and beyond (as long as you turn down the settings on later things).

Thanks. At the moment I'm trying to distract her and keep her thinking about other things -my sister has suffered some bouts of depression in the past and I'd hate to see that come back- by taking her shopping. Now, with me only about $50-$60 (and $20 of that is BioShock and Assassin's Creed, both games for me) lighter thanks to some great sales we found at Best Buy, I'm getting The Sims 2 installed and set up for her and my other sister. So far so good, although the major shock of something like this is usually delayed. Luckily I'm relatively close by and have almost nothing planned over the weekend... EDIT: Here's a website that has been set up as a temporary tribute to Alan and Naomi - just is case anyone wants to say anything to the friends or family.

The U.S. State Department reported/confirmed that they died... R.I.P.

I found out one of my sister's friends and her father -the friend's father, just to clarify- might have died in the Mumbai terrorist attacks. At the moment they're missing and presumed injured (multiple witnesses saw them get shot, but it is not known where they are now or their current condition). This is from the press releases/e-mail notice she forwarded me, it was originally posted by the travel group they were with:

So far it's better than either of those - although I'm only on the first level...

Anyways, I've gotten exactly zero hours of sleep in the last twenty-four...

You must be jesting! Quickly, see if hell has frozen over!

Shryke, you're the energizer bunny of sex...

True, but it is still not as bad as what I wish happens to him.

They now have a patch to fix that issue.
