nasah #154: Thanks for the words of appreciation.
Problem with some chowkies is that they`re happy enough when I`m doing a hatchet job on their opponents, but the moment I extend the same spade-calling to their own, or try and point out that apples are different from oranges, they start seeing a hidden agenda in my theretofore sound reasoning.

Happily, the pool of such idiotic (wink, wink!) chowkies is not large at all. Not even as large as I anticipated.

`` ``godidiot: a shtty ass
Ah, thus speaketh the follower of ``logic,`` of ``morality,`` of ``decency,`` of ``virtue`` and of all that is ``good``...all Christian values.


Problem is, truth is a value thank ranks above all those you mentioned. Gotta tell it like it is.. what to do! :-)

Buddy, you ain`t foolin` nobody with your phony appeals to emotion. It`s the last refuge of the retarded scoundrel, btw.

PM -- as Hamidm on one end of the spectrum and Eccho on the other -- have endorsed your article as one of the best pieces published on Chowk -- and I certainly think so too -- very objective, balanced, very knowledgeable ( of both Christianity and Islam) -- with the daring rare spirit of calling your own spade a space -- I don`t understand why some of my Chowki friends are so upset at you -- for criticizing your own Pope....!

nevertheless my friend keep up the good work -- yours kind of articles are rare gems......I hope Mohar miaN will do one day the same for his Pope -- that nut khut nut Bal -- Bal Thackray......:)))

#150 and, as an ex-student of a school run by roman catholics i agree with jang. They made a real contribution to Pakistan, and some of the most successful pakistanis are products of schools run by roman catholics. benazir bhutto went to a roman catholic convent, but obviously she was too far gone into waderaism for even the dedicated teachers of that fine school change her.

Re: # 68
We will never know! Deliberate misinformation and rumours etc. are tools for state`s survival.

Remember Mossad is considered to be one of the most dedicated and most sophisticated intelligence services in the world. It is quite capable of doing the trick.

Wa, salaam.

while there is much that is vile about catholic religion, esp of the past, i am grateful for their teaching institutions like Jesus and Mary Convent in dilli ;-)

they produced some great ladies.

PM: what intellect remark?? anyway - your apology for whatever you wrote definitely sounds more sincere than that of the Pope. :-)

godidiot: `` “shit” “ass” “idiot” “f_ck” is the meat of your argument in a debate in public forum and you expect me to respond and get engaged in a debate with you?

I expect you to at least TRY! To actaully debate would be asking too much.
And why not? You`re used to making yourself a shtty ass in public forums day in and day out? Like today too! :))

So long! (T)


Chacha TAhmed: I posted an apology for missing your smiley earlier. Somehow it didn`t `post` through. I retract the `intellect` remark.


taking chacha echo`s advice now :)

Godot: So are you gonna tell us how dhimmis and half-witnesses are equal in God`s eyes, before you figure you`re out of your depth here, or are you going to use my humor to diffuse your inability to respond?

“shit” “ass” “idiot” “f_ck” is the meat of your argument in a debate in public forum and you expect me to respond and get engaged in a debate with you?

use “my” humor

You think you are “humorous”

The irrationality of REASON:

This woman heard about a Doctor who had recently arrived from a far off land and had discovered a method to keep women looking young and glowing--without Makeup.

So she trotted & galloped to this Doctor and signed up for the ``treatment``.

But what is it do you do?

..........Well no potions, lotions, or creams, You`ve to use, what I`ve invented, the ``knob``.

The Knob?

...........Yes the Knob; it will be installed on the back of your neck, just below the head...you set it up to a desired setting....works like a charm..as long as you pay on time, your monthly installment. I rent it, never sell it.

On with the Knob.

The payments were regular and about 15 years had passed, when she was not happy with some of the features on her face.

Well! Doctor, these bags around my eyes are kind of growing big & sagging.

.................Well they ain`t no bags, they are your breasts!

Breasts!

..............Yeah ; seems you`ve been setting the knob a bit advanced.

Is that so! Well then that explains the goatee on the chin!

Moral: There is always a REASON, one can always rationalise, and the Doctor had his reason, the woman had hers.

But both had FAITH!

NOW PM , go to bed; you are keeping all awake unnecessarily

Re: # 142 salim

Be careful there - hearing juicy stories is NOT the only thing that catholic priests do... they have their own version of gilman fixations... :)

re. Salim: ``Believe it or not, even Exorcism is on the books - and guess what in some cases is even practiced.``
Sure it is, and Fish on Fridays is still the rule (in Lent). But none of this shit ever hurt anyone!

There is worse shit: Like the Church`s acceptance that homosexuality (as an attraction) is ``not of one`s choosing``, but still is a sin to practice. It`s like saying ``Sorry buddy, but God f--ked up. Not our problem.``

Then there`s the sheer illogic of denying the use of contraceptives on the grounds that ``all copulation is for procreation``, while endorsing the bilogical/rythym methods... The spectacle of a finely dressed Pope preaching the virtues of abstinence and vice of contraceptives to the barely-clad masses in Latin America was one of sheer hypocrisy.

Now THAT is shit!



Chahcha TAhemd: I guess that itch was jsut too much to resists, wasn`t it? It`s okay, it`s in keeping with your intellect.

Having said all that I still want to become a Catholic priest - only to be able to hear juicy confessions. :)
