Today, at 9:37 p.m. , romanian time, Pope John Paul II died, He was Pope for over 25 years and never put anything above his job, to be a holy servant of god. Pay your final respects here to honor this great man.

Let me just say this. I\'m not sad. I know where the Pope went.

In fact, if the Pope doesn\'t make it to heaven, none of us will.

Yes, he was also old.

Apart from the old:

Every sperm is great

God gets quite irate

Except with all of the HIV in Africa.

True, the use of a condom stops a pregnancy, therefore preventing life, but it also stops all of the suffering gotten through AIDS. I personally don\'t think that\'s right to say that.

Anyway, I won\'t get into that argument, now. This is about the Pope. Talk of it as you wish.

I thought the Vatican was somewhere in Italy. Somewhere near Rome.

I\'m fairly sure that it is in Italy. After all, historically that\'s where the Pope first existed, in the Roman Empire. Though it\'s now long gone, I\'m pretty sure the Pope\'s HQ so to speak is still there.

At least his suffering is over. I sure wouldn\'t like to be in the torment he was in at that age..

Oh wait, I forgot

I don\'t care because I don\'t know him. Flame war begins..mod steps in, flame war ends, months later a n00b bumps up the topic and goes \"OMG ur sew cruel\"

The life and times of S.S. Calmwaters.

Which on another topic reminds me that summer is coming soon and we\'re gonna have an increase in n00bs and spammers...

Yeah I heard, yesterday I slept threw church so my dad told me and I was sorta like \"Holy crap, another holy person dies!\". I said the because a priest at my school had died a few days before that so I have off school tomorrow and mabey another day. My spring vacation keeps getting longer. I\'m not happay that they died or anything though. But, there was some crapy wheather yesterday after the pope had died. I kept seeing these greenish flashes of light and then the power went out. :conf:

And to end Wind\'s almost perfect post, I will say last word to utter from his lips: \"Amen\".

Yeah, I\'ve been watching it. He sounded like a great guy, but I\'m just now meeting him in his obituary sadly.

I\'m not Catholic, but I agree with Mega X on this one... from what I\'ve heard about him, anyway.

Yes, the media coverage is way to wearisome, but you have to admit, he did do some pretty good things. I can understand why people would mourn. Or at least feel bad. I, personally, see it as a relief for the poor sod, but hey! That\'s just me.

Good god. (hahaha) Wind gives his honest opinion about something, it happens to be something you don\'t like, and it causes a spaztacular post where you get into a giant flame war with seemingly intelligent individuals?

Sage..every since you changed your name to Gandalf, I HATED IT. I will now flame you until your EYES BLEED. :cool:

this is a little off-topic,dont you think?
I really didnt stimated the pope,he was only a representant,but people cried like if he were crist itself
he was a good man,if I would be him ,I would give all the money I had to other people.

He was a great man to the world and the world owes him thanks to all he has done.

Yeah, I suppose you are all right. I never really heard of a pope until people started saying he was in the hospital. I was like, \"Who is this pope guy? What is a pope?\" He prolly did alot of great things...
