"'m not Catholic, but it is not funny to deliberately go into a place someone else considers sacred and do something to degrade it. These people are pigs, and anybody who thinks it is funny is a pig. What has happened to common decency and respect for others?"

Good for you! You get a gold star for ACTIVISM, and not just complaining here on FR among ourselves.

When those jerks in NYC on the air that did this get yanked off the air, suspended, fired, fined or whatever, you'll have had a helpful role in cleaning things up and disposing of that scum. Thanks again.

And you don't believe in God? What didn't you get?

Excuse me? You can't conceive of anyone not being an Aristotelian? And there's nothing inherently religious about Aristotle anyway. The "prime mover" is very often read as an abstract semi-spiritual force, not as a nascent Jehovah.

The post contained no profanity.

You and I both know better than that.

There's a movie being released in Mexico this weekend showing a priest having sex with a woman.

So the movie is obviously fiction then? BA-BOOM! :)

Just kidding, folks. It's just a joke.

I disagree.

It is time to hit, and hit hard.

They will have that smile wiped off their face when the station is fined or the two knuckleheads are fired and/or somebody has criminal charges filed against them. Money talks. Bs walks. Hit 'em in the pocketbook.

Works every time.

"Please continue your attack until you are done. (If you feel yourself flagging in the least, I'll be happy to ping in a couple of folks who'll be happy to help you out."

Zing!

The connection involves sex - - both the scandalous kind that is perpetrated in secret and against the wishes of those involved and the lurid kind by consenting partners which makes a mockery of love and renders the act as dirty and sordid. Both types affect the persons taking part and the community in which they take place.

Well ... I'd figured the connection involved sex and, specifically, sex that was outside the union of marriage and somehow perverse.

Now what's the connection you made between these two perverted sex acts?

I already sent the letter so not much I can do about that.

I did take the suggestion of one of the other chatters and sent a letter to FCC Cairman Powell at mpowell@fcc.gov

Even Christ threw the money changers out of the temple and if I remember the verses He was pretty upset. What has this nation come to?

There seems to be an epidemic of "non-judgementalism" in our nation, and it appears to be emanating mostly from the New Age, Oprah-watching crowd (although a lot of Christians are infected with it as well). 'Discrimmination' and 'judgement' are the human faculties that allow us to survive (both physically and mentally) in this messed up world, but many people today see them as vices.

I guess they're not used to heterosexual sex there.

Now that is funny ;)
