x-tian treatment of women??
To compare stoning women, or sending girl children back into a burning building (to burn to death, ugh) because they are not wearing veils to the Pope's position on childbirth is ridiculous to the extreme. Why? Because in this country (the WORST POSSIBLE COUNTRY to many of you!), women are free to IGNORE the Pope!! What happens in many fundamentalist countries to women who ignore religious rules?? They get stoned to death!!! It's fine to disagree with portions of the U.S. (particularly policies), but to maintain that the U.S. is no better, nay, even worse!, than many third world countries is beyond belief. I'm no knee-jerk idealogue, but I know how it is in other countries, where you can be killed for merely speaking your mind. Me, I'd rather live in the good ol' U.S.A. (remember, you can always catch a plane to any country in the world!)
