Just to help shove your foot in you mouth.

n absolute terms, the United States currently has the largest inmate population in the world, with more than 2½ million[14] or more than one in a hundred adults[15] in prison and jails. Although the United States represents less than 5% of the world's population, over 25% of the people incarcerated around the world are housed in the American prison system.

You should also remind him Bob that America and Canada had penal colonies long before Australia was discovered. John shows his typical arrogance in stating things he thinks is fact when in reality it's the other way around. It's more than likely that John is an avid racist who is angry others in the world live a better life than him.

Anyway, getting back to the subject of the thread.

What a cop out by the Catholic Church.

To refuse to condone the use of condoms, they're approving the very slow murder of people, who often, do not have a say in whether sex is going to occur.

The responsible thing to do would be to consider the suffering of AIDS victims and do all they could to enlighten, even frighten, everyone about the horror of AIDS, which in turn would encourage RESPONSIBLE "PROTECTED" SEX, and in doing so, effectively reduce its spread.

These control freaks do not live in reality, how could they, in their immoral castles of decadence, alone with their masturbation.

If you don't play the game, don't make the rules.

LOL - I love this one! It should be enlarged and framed as an example of thinking twice before shooting your mouth off.

Let us tell you gently - the Papist State, by which I assume you mean the Vatican - is situated in Rome (Italy) and was constructed over the shrine where St Peter is buried. The papal States were a group of territories in central Italy ruled by the popes from 754 until 1870.

Australia was not settled by the British until 1788. Do your maths.

"To refuse to condone the use of condoms"

This has always made me angry. Encouraging impoverished people to produce children destined for starvation is so incredibly irresponsible and callous.

In reality, Africans wouldn't use condoms anyhow - males think its their right to have condom-free sex on demand and the women mostly don't have a say.

WHY is the church encouraging further catastrophic demographic growth in Africa? By 2050, the population of Ethiopia alone will be 177 million - the equivalent of France, Germany and Benelux.

Giving money and charity to Africa leads to more children, which produces more needy people, which leads to more charity, which leads to more reproduction, which produces more needy people, which leads to more charity, etc. etc. ad infinitum.

When will Western countries finally learn - every day we see the results of exporting our good intentions to the rest of the world. The West has been doing this since the 1700’s in undeveloped parts of the world - we are appalled at the poverty and inequality in these countries and try to 'help' them.

What we actually do is enable them to outbreed the carrying capacity of their environment which in turn destroys their traditional way of life.

A fair and reasonable point.

Everything man has interfered with has ended in disaster.

Unfortunately, he's interfered with so much, I'm beginning to think it's irreparable, yet still, those who could influence changes which might help, refuse to do so.

I for one am proud of my convict ancestors . The first of who arrived on the first fleet in January 1788 and the last in 1818.

Their crimes ranged from stealing a coat to being an Irish rebel

I am not.

You always give yourself up with extra letters (ie: ffff); you type the same; you call me 'uzzi' words.

Telling someone you think I'm a 'dude' isn't personal?
Or insulting?
Or twisting what you know is the truth?

I will call you whatever I want to call you little girl. Which from on will be WrongNewsLawyer.

"there are 3 stooges"

Yeah - hahaha, Spammy Pester and YOU.

Every 14 seconds, a child loses a parent to AIDS.

Project Concern is providing for orphans' basic needs in Africa.

Providing for Orphans' Basic Needs
Brian's Story

Project Concern is empowering women in Africa to be orphan caregivers.

Promoting Women's Empowerment
Ms. Mulenga's Story

Project Concern is helping rescue AIDS orphans from the streets in Zambia.

Providing Orphans with Shelter from the Streets

Project Concern is ensuring the health and well-being of thousands of AIDS orphans in Zambia. HIV & AIDS has orphaned more than 12 million children in Africa alone. Families and communities, already crippled by disease and poverty, no longer have the means to care for all of these children. Far too many must battle for survival on the street...while dreaming of a better life and a healthy childhood.

Don't ignore this NewsShredder. Answer me - was THAT personal? If you don't answer, you will just be showing yourself for the wuss you are.

Don't thank me. Thank the doctors who won't prescribe you medication for your senility.
