There is no official word yet, but the Italian news has told the US that the Pope had died. The smoke is expected to rise around 2:00.
-
April Fools.....
-
Not proven yet. Bad topic #1000 by Hurricane.
-
Man and I just posted an article in Current Events about his deteriorating health. He really was supposed to die many times (he was shot and had some pretty close calls within the last few years) and he came out of it alright. This really is unfortunate.
EDIT: Just flipped on Fox News and its true.
-
It said unconfirmed reports that he\'s dead, then it changed to "brain & heart still functioning", so who knows? It could just be another false alarm.
I don\'t think he\'ll see the night out though whatever the situation is.
-
CNN had a banner claiming he\'d dead.
Then they took it down.
Now they have a new one that says the Vatican denies those reports.
Vatican says "April Fools! But he\'s really really sick."
-
Ok, I should have titled it allegedly dead.
Jumpman, I\'m sorry if you don\'t find several reports of the pope being dead important.
-
If they\'re not proven then why bother. You simply got everyone wild by being the first yuppy posting the(fake) news everyone is expecting.
-
sooo if he ends up being fed through a tube, who decides if he lives? the cardinals around him?
-
Heart and brain still functioning......O God another Terry Shiavo (sp)

Who cares?
I know why he wants to die anyway. He\'ll be lying there in his bed thinking to himself "I hope heaven does exist, mother teresa will be there waiting for me, I like her, she\'s a babe"

If he is going to die, he needs to hurry up and do it, so CNN can move on to new headlines.
-
..
-
I think God is yanking our chains and he\'ll die another day.
-
It\'s too bad Michael Shaivo isn\'t his gaurdian.

I\'m getting my very own ultra-trendy feeding tube installed this week. No more tedious chewing for me.

Would that not be the best for football weekends? Drink beer, but you don\'t have to worry about food.

ROFL at that picture Cerb... HI-larious.
-
shiney happy people holding hands
-
There is soo much cover up in the catholic church he prolly died and they will just say he died tomorrow (sunday) because 5 years ago he decred the sunday after easter to be a "special" day.
-
Now he is dead. :(
21:37 local time.

The world has lost a great man.

y\'know i was gonna say the exact same thing...well maybe not in those exact words..but close to it...i mean whenever i see the pope, all he does is waves his hands and people are passin out like they\'re at some micheal jackson concert..i mean i know he\'s a man of god an\' all but i just don\'t see what he does that\'s so great...as far as the molestation goes well LIC i guess you can\'t blame him for that that was done by individuals beyond his control....
and i don\'t know enough to comment on whether he was part of the cover ups and such...i\'m just saying that there are probably people in the world today that does the same thing he does (travel the world..spreading good faith etc) but don\'t get any recognition for it....not knockin\' the pope gangster at all..this is just the way i see it...

Fall of communism>

instead of closing the thread, i\'m just gonna remove LIC\'s dumb ass posts
why do\'t you make fun of mother teresa and mahatma ghandi next
:rolleyes:
-
Where were you when he was dissing Metroid Prime? :)
-
haven\'t played it
my gamecube is in exile
oh, and may John Paul rest in peace
he has done more for the world than people like LIC could ever imagine
-
He was a cracking footballer, could have even made the national team if he\'d stuck at it.
He was also alledged to be a bit of a practical joker before he became pope.
*Cerberus the protestant duff his cap in the direction of Pope JP*
-
So you removed LIC\'s posts because you didnt like what he said?
Do you need your diaper changed mm?
-
i will tolerate no disrespecting of John Paul
wanna crack a joke at this expense? go right ahead, but completely tearing the man down is uncalled for
i\'m not catholic nor very religious, but i have the upmost respect who he was and what he has done
-
well i didn\'t see the 2nd post that LIC made, but i definitely saw the first one...and even tho he may have had harsh words for the pope, ultimately at the end of the day, that\'s his opinion...i mean we\'re not gonna start deleting posts and closing threads because we don\'t agree with other members opinions or views are we?...
i mean i can see if the said person was being a complete a$$hole & just bein plain ignorant all the way around....i didn\'t see that in LIC\'s post...
-
k, remind me of another time when i deleted a member\'s comments and i\'ll gladly apologize to LIC and replace his trash

You deleted tons posts about mooooooodchips!

The Pope was a great man, but not according to the bible. It\'s funny what the bible actually says about people like the Pope...
-
the bible is a collection of stories written by man, it\'s is the interpretation that matters.
but yeah, when it comes to films, i\'m vicious
-
It\'s not about the interpretation...it\'s what\'s written in there. I\'m not religious, but my brother is. He pointed this out to me. The Pope changes and adds to the bible, which is where "Purgatory" came from. That\'s not in the bible. He\'s basically "changing the word of God." The bible refers to someone who does this as an anathama. This is as far away from God as you can get, and they are "cursed" to the deepest realms of hell. Just The Pope being a holy man and all, I just thought it was funny and ironic when my bro pointed it out. But I still respect the Pope a great deal. He did many great things.
-
...that would be an interpretation
-

True. I think that the bible is nothing more than a collection of literature written by man as a moral book or a book to explain the unexplainable.
-
Delete the post.
I stand by what I said, John Paul was nothing more than a face for the church.
I may of been harsh, but I spoke my opinion on the matter. I didn\'t say I was glad he was dead. I simply stated that he was not a great man and he served his purporse, to give a face to the church.
Oh well, it\'s a communist board, always has been and always will. No big deal.
-
he is a face for the church
just like george w. bush is a face for the USA, or queen elizabeth is a face for the UK.
you said alot more than "he wasnt a great man"
communist board, lol. do you even know the definition of communism?
there\'s no collective ownership here
we don\'t even have an economic system to distribute goods.
communism is hardly about censorship
what we do have, is a playground for people to say what they like in an attempt to amuse others.
give me one good reason why he wasn\'t a good man. just one
oh, did i mention it has to be something he can be held accountable for and not the vatican?
-
who\'s the pope?????
j/k
donno what he did, don\'t really care either. If he did more good than bad thn he has my respects.

because someone like J.W Bush is supposed to represent USA it doesnt mean that he is the appropriate man to represent your country.
J.W Bush is a disgrace and deserves no respect.
Just because he is the USA president it doesnt mean that YOU the american citizens have no right to criticize him, and say things agianst him.
The american citizens elect for their rights.They do not elect for the politicians\'/representatives sake.Its the citizens that make the country.Not the politicians.When leaders are being followed blindly because they represent the country then there is no democracy.There is democracy in textbooks.
In Attica the place where the real and first democracy appeared the citizens had complete conscious understanding of what is right or wrong and virtuesness.They made criticism to theiur leaders and if the leader was proven dangerous for democray and the virtues of their city they ostracized him
And as far as communism you are the last person to be called a communist.
-
Uni, I like you man, but just give it up. You obviously missed his point, and now you\'re trying to turn this thread into a political one. Just stop it mate.
And Jesus, what the hell does "And as far as communism you are the last person to be called a communist." mean???
R.I.P. JP2
-
I dont like his "I know everything about whats right and wrong" attitude.
I wasnt turning into a political one.The thing about J.W bush was just an example.
I was generally speaking that because some people are put to a place to represent something "important" whatever that is it doesnt mean that we should not criticize them.
I am not refering specifically to the Pope(or Bush).I ve heard many things about the Pope but since I dont know for sure I am not judging him.
I just didnt like some of mm\'s statements and the fact that he mentioned communism as if he is the appropriate man to talk about or explain to others(like always as if he is the best) the ideals of communism since he contradicts the true ideals of it
My point leads towards ideals and virtues not politics.
So what if he is supposed to represent the face of the Church?This means nothing.Its his actions that mean only
-
All mm did was write a basic definition of Communism. He also points out that we are in a forum, something not comparable to said subject.

That\'s just the thing, everybody here is talking about the Pope. Just the Pope, no one else. You\'re the one bringing other people to the topic.

MM, you use to refer to this board as a communist board - so, please don\'t act like this is something knew.
what we do have, is a playground for people to say what they like in an attempt to amuse others.
give me one good reason why he wasn\'t a good man. just one
oh, did i mention it has to be something he can be held accountable for and not the vatican?
I could care less if I amuse you or anyone else on this board. My opinions are mine , just as you have your own.
He was the head of the church, he can be held accountable for everything that goes on. It was his job to oversee these things. Just like if we have a massive goverment conspiracy, we look to our President.
Personally, I\'m not sad that he is dead and I\'m not happy he is dead. He\'s simply dead. I see him no different than any other person who is in church of a religion or any other large group.
And as far as all this goes, if you want to throw a fuss about me saying what I said and how you won\'t take any disrespect against the now deceased Pope, then you need to look further than this thread. Go into Current Events where his death is openly mocked by fellow members. Go in another thread in Off-Topic where the is talk about him going to heaven to screw Mother Teresa. Don\'t simply pick one post out and delete it . At least be even about your dictatorship.
-
@Soul Reaver: Did I say that mm\'s werent examples?He mentioned examples I mentioned too.
And only one sentence of my post mentioned the word communism and was irrelevant to my first point.(you do remember mm calling himself "our communist leader" dont you?:p)
-
iif you were around long enough, you would know that it was actually Clyde who was tagged as a communist, not me.
someone even made him a special avatar
so, better luck next time
if i missed other comments disrespecting the pope, im sorry.
i have very little time and interest in reading 90% of the drivel thats posted here
(and the 5-6 posts above this one)
and uni, from where you live, you have little to complain about george w. bush. very little
-

-
RIP John Paul II
I\'m far from a Catholic but I recognize greatness and the impact he has had on the world and its people.
-
Why even try to pass this off as "Clyde"? That may of been cute three years ago, but it isn\'t any more. You can\'t hide behind a chimp as an easy way out of something. MM and Clyde, usernames by the same person. So what exactly is the difference?
Either way, he\'s dead. RIP. We agree on disagree\'ing about how "Great" of a person he was.
-
thats when the tag was given to him, moron
when i first created clyde (well over three years ago), it was funny.
do you see me using him lately?
-
L-I-C is right
m&m is wrong.
And unlike m&m I see outside my country as well.
-
How about we just start deleting every single post deemed offensive by you, even if there is no actual rule against them. There is NOTHING saying no one can voice their opinion against the Pope or how great he was, except for you. So what do you do? You delete my post, which I could care less about, but if you are going to do it, do it the right way, get rid of the posts that actual make jokes about him being on a feeding tube. Don\'t try and single one post out.
If you are going to do it, do it right. Don\'t do it half-assed and don\'t make excuses for it.
And I am not going to dig back in old threads where you use to ban trolls / delete posts and use the comment about it being a communist board. Everyone on the board remembers it, except for you, due to your selective memory.
*twirls finger in air*
;)
And I tried to be civil about this, I said we could agree on disagree\'ing, but you won\'t drop and have to bring out personal insults.
-
when is the last time i deleted a post?
....waits
oh yeah
dig back all you want
so two scamps remember incorrectly. i should be worried now
-
So do you believe in the ideals of communism or was it just a Clyde joke thing?
-
communism, on paper and in its ideal, is fabulous.
but it wont work
you see, people are greedy by nature
-
well I for one agree with LiC here, as far as I see it he was no different from any other man and being the pope today is just a well paying do nothing job as I\'m concerned, I will admit that I haven\'t checked out the history of JPII but as far as I know he didn\'t really do anything other than being the pope.
But still, RIP John Paul
-
I will admit that I haven\'t checked out the history of JPII but as far as I know he didn\'t really do anything other than being the pope.
He traveled to over 100 countries helping anybody he could. No other pope has traveled that much or did as many good things as JP II.
-
mm:I believe in a better future.A future without pseudo-communism like China and former Soviet Union.A future without lies.
I believe that passive acceptance is not the answer

I haven\'t checked out his life story but that doesn\'t mean I don\'t know a single thing about him.
-
You\'re all gay so I skipped all the posts on page 3 and 4. Someone post Cliff\'s notes if there was anything worthwhile said, though I doubt it. :)
-
Cliff\'s Notes:
L-I-C posted his extremely harsh opinion.
mm deleted it because he thinks JP2 was a great man and doesn\'t deserve to be ridiculed as L-I-C apparently did. In this way, he likened JP2 to Mother Teresa and Mahatma Ghandi.
Unicron! came in acting like a tool.
L-I-C sticks by his claims that JP2 doesn\'t deserve praise. But also claimed that mm is being selective about what he deletes, claiming his posts were no worse than the jokes about JP2 and his feeding tube, and about JP2 thinking that Mother Teresa is a
"babe".
At this point, I took a break to go masturbate over the video of that Keyra chick whist imagining that she was one of the girls I work with.
After that, it was all a bunch mm, Uni and L-I-C waving their dicks in the air. Fun, but ultimately a waste of time. Uni\'s was the smallest, btw.
-
roar!
-
Bob, you forgot all about my valiant claim of ignorance!!!
-
Well sorry nO-One! I was just cutting to the chase, so to speak.
Additional Cliff\'s Notes: nO-One posted that because he has never researched all the great things that JP2 did, they simply did not happen. ;)
-

Chaos Theory is insanely fun.

whell, I don\'t know what the connection CT has with the pope\'s death but my thing is a commentary on his opposition to contraception and how his stance exhasabataeteteted public ignorance of AIDS issues. he wasn\'t all that great.
-
avvy, will you marry me?
-
Avvy, that\'s stupid.
-
Prolly the most significant role of this John Paul II was that he was the catalyst for breaking down the Berlin Wall. His visits to Polands fueled the flame for tearing it down and Reagan perdy much rode on the Pope\'s coat tail.
Also, he visited Palestine and Israel, preaching for peace. Both sides respected the Pope.
Today, his death pushes Terry Schiavo to the back page of the the news. She\'s become a "oh BTW" type news.
-
Hmm something I just noticed while watching FOX News and their cute little John Paul II logo.
Why is his name different in the US/UK compared to what he is called in the rest of the world (not Poland IIRC)?
We write \'Johannes Paulus II\'
Why is that? I have also heard that Kings that are referred to Karl here are named Charles in England. Yet we call Prince Charles for ‘Prins Charles’ and not ‘Prins Karl’. ;)
Weird, can create some confusion. :p
-
Coz in the US and Britian Johannes = John, Paulus = Paul? :)
In Spanish, we call him Juan Pablo :)
-
Well that was a simple explanation, is it that simple? ;)
Then its no different from ‘renaming’ cities, Rome, Rom, Roma. Beijing, Peking etc?
But the name Johannes does exist in the US/UK?
Same with Karl etc. Hmm. Well it sounds about right, there are many forms of names in different countries.
Fredrich, Fredrik, Frederick.
Heinrich, Henrik, Hendrick.
-
Look just shut up Fastson you\'re confusing everyone.
Loser.

-
Nothing gets the blood boiling like a religious discussion.
This is how wars start.

-
Well, as a Catholic, I lost a religious leader. RIP JPII
For those of you who are not Religous, you do not know what he meant to the Catholic community, so to not show your respect for something you know very little about is just plain wrong.
-
I know little about serial killers... should i show them respect too?

As for the waving dicks in the air, if mine was big enough, sure I\'d wave it, but sadly it is not, so all I can do is be bitter and throw out hostile opinions, while MM and Uni poke each other with their weeners.
