    So THAT'S where "WOOT!" sprung from. Then am I to assume that "teh" and other stuff like that is from the same type of thing?



    Seems to often be used together by a certain type of person (computer-y, techie, geek types, online people, etc.).



    See, I don't know this type of jargon/lingo but I stumble across it a lot, here and some other places.

    I think a lot of the teh stuff springs from typos that people found funny. On another forum I frequent, one person made a typo when typing "FEAR." They typed "FjEAR." Adding a j in the middle of words sort of caught on from there.

    I had my moderating critiqued once. I meant to say "thank you for your input", but I made a typo and it said "**** off and die maggot".



    I need to work on that.

    I once worked with a guy named David, who thought that it was far worse for a nun to get raped then the average woman. I asked him to explain his feelings on the matter, and he looked at me questionably.



    The same issues apply here.



    For some reason it is implied that religious organizations or people who supposedly represent God, are exempt from the law and scrutiny from the public, just as David implied that women of faith are above women who aren't.



    If a priest left the church one day, went down the street into one of your homes, tied up your wife and kids, raped them one by one, stripping every last dignity from them, and imprisoning them in most cases, to a lifetime of pain and fear, then went back to the church, what would you do?



    If it was any other person in society, most of you would want them massively penalized, and in some cases, even dead. I would personally kill them myself, but maybe because I know the effects of such abuses.



    In some of these cases, we're talking about multiple offences, over a long period of time, and these people used a well respected institution to cleverly hide these offences. If it was any other institution, like it was said in the beginning, it would have been penetrated and completely brought down by now.



    But....Never in the case of the Church. It is Untouchable. For that reason alone, lawsuits need to be employed, arrests need to be made, justice should be served. It won't be though.



    As far as I'm concerned, priests who rape, should be stripped of the "cloth" and their status, procecuted, and thrown in the general population of prisons worldwide.

    Let me clearly define the history between scott and xenu. Xenu made a post. Scott looked at Xenu's location tag and noticed that he doesn't live in America. Scott dismisses Xenu's message.

    You forgot to call me a racist.

    But the guy in the store said that all the new flags have 51 stars because Canada is now the 51st state. <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> <img src="graemlins/surprised.gif" border="0" alt="[surprised]" /> <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

    I don't think you are a racist so why would I call you one? I only think you are a blind pseudo-patriot.

    Sigh. Muslims have their reglious problems. Christians now also have their own religious problems....

    Personal attacks are not AO material, else Warren G will have to regulate.
