First Ronald reagan crushes communism.... now its the Pope? lol

This is a joke.

I think this thread has answered my original thoughts about this man's "achievements"

with all respect, it's fine and noble to pay respects to JPII, but wouldn't it be better if at least you could also follow his teachings? if he forgived his assassinator, couldn't you forgive maxtuh or anyone else who insults JPII? JPII was a role model for Catholics and for many non-Catholics alike, there's always a message behind one's act, he wanted to spread love, forgiveness and tolerance towards ignorance and fault.i think the best repsect for him is to understand his message and try to imitate his ways. wouldn't hurt to forgive a person's ignorance would it?
maybe i'm wrong.
just my 2 pennies.

I was at work yesterday when it happened.

I was doing an HD digital box demo at the time, I turned it to HD-Fox cuz it was supposed to be NASCAR in HD. They were running coverage of the Pope's death, which had happened 5 minutes before I turned the channel over. . I'm not catholic, in fact I'm not really anything in terms of faith, but a weird feeling of anxiety came over me when I realized what had happened.

I know in your tiny little mind only one person could possibly be rsponsible for the collapse of communism, but you might be surprised to learn different...just try it...go learn something.

RIP JPII.

this thread was meant for the mourning of John Paul II.

why wouldn't the people that don't want to mourn him post here?

why not start another thread, where you can all gather together and bash him?

and that way the people that truly care can have their own thread which could have turned into something nice.

i'll even answer for all you halfwits. it's because you like insitigating and making people upset on purpose to entertain yourselves.

if you think we are all stupid for caring then let us be. why push your own agenda on others at this time. don't you fucking get it? WE ARE TRULY MOURNING THE POPE. if you don't like it, just don't say anything. are you jealous that no one is going to care when you die?

the sad thing is that it's more than that. i think they are upset that they have nobody to look up to. nobody to care about. therefore, they feel the need to try to show us how stupid it is that we care so much.

well keep trying, keep putting someone down right after their death. that's pure class.

RIP John Paul, I hope your successor will be as beloved as you were.

I don't really understand what is this whole anti-communism discussion that is going on surrounding the pope. The church has always been against communism primarily because under communism there is no religion and obviously no church. According to the original ideas of communism religion keeps people stupid (there's more to it of course but that's the basic idea). The church and pope were also supporters of Mousolini (sp) in Italy because he was so against communism. So obviously the church has always been against communism.

Anway enough about that. He really was a good man and someone to look up to. Like many said I hope that his successor will follow his ways and continue on the positive track towards the future. RIP JPII
