No amount of apologising can ever make up for that. We truly are sorry!

Fun fact, only one castle was ever hit by a Nazi bomb. Seems they loved them too!

Since I seemingly have an inability to hang out with men.

Not disagreeing with that, however a lot of people just straight up can't afford a trip across the world.

I SMELL A GOVERNMENT PROGRAM.

Oh wait, thats called the armed forces.

Your "freedom" to own guns is really primitive. It is not a human right, it is purely an ingrained cultural phenomenon that should just be left behind, and I'm just flabbergasted at people wanting to die for weapons. It's no coincidence people mock americans describing them as always wielding guns or chanting for war.
Primitive culture, like the Corrida, to name a banal example.

I think my stance about next to anything is well known: do whatever it takes to advance humanity. Don't care you bought that, you shouldn't have it.

I know I'm going to attract Jet's ire for this, but I can't help it, even if I know it will get me in trouble I just have to always speak my mind.

the exchange of ideas & information gets skewed a touch when you shoot the guy at the end of the day.

Half of America doesn't even have a *** passport.

We do not need a passport to rent a hotel room in our own country. Nor for travel to Canada or Mexico.

I would be surprised if 10% of us do. I let mine lapse.

Primitive is not an insult.

The ability to defend your life & territory from aggressors is maybe the oldest human right...

(CNN)The day before Pope Francis met anti-gay county clerk Kim Davis in Washington last week, he held a private meeting with a longtime friend from Argentina who has been in a same-sex relationship for 19 years.

Yayo Grassi, an openly gay man, brought his partner, Iwan, as well several other friends to the Vatican Embassy on September 23 for a brief visit with the Pope. A video of the meeting shows Grassi and Francis greeting each other with a warm hug.

In an exclusive interview with CNN, Grassi declined to disclose details about the short visit, but said it was arranged personally by the Pope via email in the weeks ahead of Francis' highly anticipated visit to the United States.

"Three weeks before the trip, he called me on the phone and said he would love to give me a hug," Grassi said.

The meeting between Grassi and the Pope adds another intriguing twist to the strange aftermath of Francis' first-ever trip to the United States. Since news broke on Tuesday of Francis' meeting with Davis, conservatives have cheered the seemingly implicit endorsement, while liberals have questioned how much the Pope knew about her case.

In a statement on Friday, the Vatican said that the meeting with Davis was not intended as a show of support for her cause and said "the only real audience granted by the Pope at the nunciature (embassy) was with one of his former students and his family."

"That was me," Grassi said.

Grassi said that Pope Francis taught him in literature and psychology classes at Inmaculada Concepcion high school in Flores, Argentina, from 1964-1965.

Grassi said the Pope has long known that he is gay, but has never condemned his sexuality or his same-sex relationship. Grassi said he and Iwan (he declined to disclose his last name due to privacy concerns) also met Francis last year in Rome.

"He has never been judgmental," Grassi said. "He has never said anything negative."

"Obviously he is the pastor of the church and he has to follow the church's teachings," Grassi added. "But as a human being he understands all kinds of situations, and he is open to all kinds of people, including those with different sexual characteristics."

Grassi said he believes the Pope was "misled" into meeting with Davis, who served six days in a Kentucky jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Davis' lawyers had portrayed the papal meeting as an endorsement of her cause. After several days of questions and culture-war sparring, the Vatican said that was not the case.

"The Pope did not enter into the details of the situation of Mrs. Davis, and his meeting with her should not be considered a form of support of her position in all of its particular and complex aspects," Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said in a statement issued Friday morning.

Uh, yeah it is.

And with the advancement of civilization we created organisms which are specifically assigned to that. I stay my opinion.

Your decision to take it as such.
Offense is not in my intention, and that is all there is to that.

I was joking around on that one. Trying to keep it lighthearted in here, yo.

ILL EAGLES. BACK YOU ILL EAGLES. **** shotgun*

The funniest thing I get from the most vocal 2A defenders are that only their people should have this ALL ENCOMPASSING right to bear arms.

And by their people, I mean mostly white guys. SORRY I HAD TO MAKE THIS ABOUT RACE. But I did. Because it's an aspect of the whole ARM ALL THE THINGS debate in 'Murica.

Heil Hydra

There can be no other intention to it.

I get your point, but I'm too far north to worry about brown folks. I'm more concerned with johnny trailer park looking for a TV to steal to get some more meth.
