RE: Something else to discuss.

Tinydancer · Guru

So how is it all of the Priests who keep their vow and don't molest the altar boys are doing it? Some people are able to resist their urges and some don't even try. Priests are human after all. Blaming celibacy for those that chose to prey on children is wrong.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Is Flan actually defending child molesters? Cause that's what I am seeing. Making the molester the victim.

And you know what the sad thing about it is? I'm not really surprised.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

And personally, if you have a man who chooses to be a priest to avoid temptations that are wrong, I think the church should let them, but put them to work away from the public. Let them be the priests that keep the books, or whatever.

Yes, Lily, that is EXACTLY what I'm doing...

What is wrong with you? If you're "seeing" that, you really do need those new glasses ASAP.

You just blamed the "scandals" of child sexual abuse on the church requiring celibacy. Ridiculous.

Tinydancer · Guru

You were making excuses for why they were pedophiles. You really do like to turn the strangest people into victims.

I will if you will.

Open, discussion. No name calling or bashing from either side.

Well that didn't last too long, did it? This thread has become the let's bash flan festival. What else is new?

Tinydancer · Guru

Who's bashing flan. Stating the truth about what she posted is not bashing but if you want to see it that way I guess there's not much we can do about that.

So we were misquoting you? You didn't say what we said you did? It just makes it so easy to shut down the conversation if you pretend everyone's picking on you just because they're asking questions.

Bull. We are responding to her comments. And since YOU started the negativity that open the door for flan to jump on the negativity bandwagon with you, why don't you try taking some responsibility?

Gosh I get sick of all the victimless victims around here. People really need to stop acting like every question is an attack on them. It's like they go out of their way to be offended.

No. I am not targeting or bashing individuals. You are bashing. Why don't you take some responsibility? Or is it that it's only bashing when others do it, never when you do?

Again I ask how we were bashing flan? By asking questions? That is pretty lame.

How am I bashing? By disagreeing with her comments that celibacy causes pedophiles? People need to take responsibility for what they post - if they can't handle questions or disagreements about it, then don't post it.

Frankly, I think you are being a bully. Every time somebody posts something you don't like, they are bashing others. And yet, you take no responsibility for your own posts, or expect others that you agree with to take responsibility for theirs. I'm getting real tired of being labeled a "basher" for disagreeing with someone or asking them to explain the stuff they post. You are flipping adults - if you can't handle the fire, get out of the kitchen.

Well this is very interesting. So I'm a bully. I'm going back over all my posts on this thread and trying to find all the bullying. Having a hard time. But you are not a basher at all. You just called me a bully. But no, that's not bashing. It's not bashing because LL did it, and LL has a waiver.

YOU are the one who started accusing others of bashing. What do you call that when someone consistently responds to discussion by accusing people of something they have not done? When, instead of responding to the discussion, you start attacking others.

You attack and then expect others to just roll over. You accuse others of bashing and being bullies without taking any responsibility for your own role in doing the EXACT SAME THING you are accusing others of doing.

It's plain ridiculous when people can't have a discussion without you bringing misery and victim-hood into it. YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM. FLAN IS NOT A VICTIM. Grow the fvck up.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

And I call it how I see it. I'm tired of people pretending they or others are victims when they are active participants. And then they try to blame others for being the bad guy.

It need clarification. Accusing everyone of bashing for simply asking questions about a post is bashing.

Kind of like being told asking questions is a "trap". Why are you even in the discussion if you are not going to be part of it, yet just swipe at others who are trying to have the discussion?

People really need to learn to see their own nastiness. And before anyone can comment more - I'm quite aware that my "grow the fvck up" could be seen as nasty. It doesn't make it less relevant.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

It also doesn't make it any less nasty.

Yay! I was beginning to think you wouldn't pull the Christian card out to slap me with. See, you really don't see your own nastiness.

Cursing is what makes it nastier? OH, well. I think accusing people of stuff and generally sniping at people is nastier. That's my opinion. I realize it's not yours. But opinions are like azzholes - everyone has one.

I know she didn't say someone cursed at her. She said they were being nasty. I was making the point that while they might have been, she is the one who resorted to cursing. Not them.

I seem to remember on another thread how cursing was so uneducated and base and beneath us all and how if we curse we are mere simpletons who cannot express ourselves properly.

Then, someone pulls out a curse word and I am the idiot for pointing it out.
