What Drives A Man To Do This?

Truthfully, I hope I never find out. Most assuredly, I never will find out - at least not by way of first hand experience.


 
 
I realize it's not restricted to being a Walmart thing but wonder if this kind of behavior is solely found within the USA. I suppose not, weirdoes seem to be on the loose everywhere today. Then again, maybe it was a Halloween costume (or would it be Halloweeny).

Why A Man Might Carry Duct Tape (or even a roll of stickers)

She won't likely fall for the line "Hey lady, I think your shoelace is untied" but she may damned well step on a piece of sticky tape or a sticker (left behind by a thrill seeker) on the floor and bend over trying to get it off of her shoe. Of course, being a gentleman, I would never do such a thing and I am posting this only as a public service warning for all babes who wear very short skirts.


Now for those of you men who think me posting such a warning will ruin your chances of pulling that off, just think about how many hot mini-skirted babes are reading this blog. You have no worries there.

Hat tip to Lenny L for the poster.

Has The Pope Yielded To Islamic Terrorists?

So the Pope has come on the record to say that Freedom of Religion overrides Freedom of Speech. In sum and substance, he said that it is not permissible for someone to disrespect anyone's religion through their expression of free speech (source). So tell me: If I asked the current Pope whether or not he thought Islam to be the one true religion, and whether or not Mohammad's teachings were absolutely correct and were the words of Allah (God), and also asked if Allah was the one true and absolutely the only God - and finally - if I asked the Pope if he would denounce Jesus  - would he respond with an absolute and infallible yes to all of those questions? It seems, he must do so because for him to do otherwise would be seen, by many Muslims, as disrespecting and ridiculing Islam or worse still as blasphemy in their eyes. Islamists have beheaded and put to the sword untold numbers of people for less than that. Would the Pope not then, by answering any of those questions in the negative, be guilty of doing exactly what he says others should not do! Since he has preached that it is not right or permissible for others to do so, and since I am certain he is a man of his word who would never lie to his flock (aren't all Catholics just as certain as am I), I have arrived at the conclusion that he must have recently and secretly converted to Islam. Otherwise, without any doubt in my mind, he is just another bull-shitter of the politically correct (PC) ilk or should that be religiously correct (RC) type. (Hmm, maybe RC has not stood for Roman Catholicism over all these centuries but instead has meant religiously correct, it would explain a lot!)

I do not believe for one minute that the Pope is infallible or incapable of lying or that he truly is a man of faith more than anyone else. Based upon his cowering statements, I do believe, despite denials by the Catholic Church, that threats have probably been made against him or Catholic targets by Islamic terrorists. I also believe that he has yielded to those threats and is condescending to the level of other appeasers of terrorism who do or say nothing - or worse yet to the level of those who actually bend over backwards to defend or justify the actions of religious terrorists. He, in my opinion, has justified the recent Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack. You see, no matter how much he says he is anti-violence, he still winds up using an example in which violence is the result of ridicule and then explains that it (the violent response) is normal and implies that is true in the case of religious ridicule. So in other words, he has in fact - as far as I can see, yielded to they who wield murderous violence in the name of Islam (or for that matter in the name of any religion).

Of course, maybe I am wrong and no such threats were made that caused the Pope to yield to Islamic terrorism but if that is the case then the Pope evidently is simply hedging his bets by way of a lightly veiled justification of the Charlie Hebdo murders. Make no mistake about it, with that punch in the nose example he gave, supported by him saying  "It's normal. You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others." that is exactly what he was doing - supporting the terrorist attacks on Charlie Hebdo. As far as I am concerned that makes the Pope, at least this particular pope, no better than the anti-Christ.

A hat tip and my thanks to Peter Q for sending me the link to that article.
