What is it with Abrahamic religions and power being denoted by bigass hats? Artistic renders of caliphs of always depict them wearing bulbous turbans as well.

I, too, am mystified as to why progressives might be happier with a pope that's like "oh hey economic inequality is the root of most of the world's problems" and "maybe we shouldn't focus so much on gay marriage." Call me when you transform the church into full communism by fiat in one day.

I care about the poor , from my throne of gold. No, I just find it unnerving how we're constantly having these news stories about how great the pope is when really he hasn't said anything of worth or note. It's not like he's come out and said " Yeah, its cool to be gay" , but more " It's probably cool to be gay". I mean is it really strange to say " Well, he's not as bad" that doesn't make him progressive, that just means he's middle ground and doesn't want to make a hardline stance that alienates people. Also, there's no way they didn't get new publicist or someone in publicity workin for them. I don't know what a "New Atheist" is, I just am an atheist, I don't really care for any religions at this point I'm satisfied in my life to be just left alone, you go believe what you want that's great if it gives your life meaning but leave me alone. I'm not a " I hate religion " at one point I was but not any more.

Again, his spoken policy on many issues (downright marxist historiography as the most prominent) is important even if he directs no action by his authority, because at least the ideas are out in the open. He's indisputably the most prominent person in the world discussing the things that need discussing. After spending several months hitting every drat town I could in rural Mexico, you have no idea how influential JPII still is to a large section of the Catholic population. If this pope sticks around another decade (or more!) it could really mean something.

of course its tacky. some guy walks into the room, you want him to be all "drat, get a load of that guys opulence. he must be the business." to which you reply "yes, i am rather the business my son" all benevolently as you slaughter the fatted tares or separate the wheat and calves or what the hell ever

 I was always kind of confused as to how this hat was supposed to elicit supplication. Is the idea that this dude's got the ultimate topknot or something?

as part of a dumb work project i had to find popular news websites in dutch (aka i googled the dutch word for news) and "nieuws" is an upsetting looking word and i don't care to find out how it is pronounced. also a cool thing the pope did is also call it monstrous that commodity speculation is causing poor people to starve. commodity speculation driving up the price of goods people need to live is an issue that more people need to be talking about. its good that the pope condemns it. last the pope's public pronouncements are significantly influenced by the context of him being the head of an organization that at best is conservative and is frequently reactionary. that context is important. e: also why is the dutch word for strike "staking", what is the etymology of this i don't like it

There's an effort to create a CongressEdits wiki page on Wikipedia. According to the draft history, the first page was created by an IP address registered to the House of Representatives (143.231.249.138). CongressEdits is going to be the gift that keeps on giving. Commodity speculation is terrible and serves no benefit aside from being a gambling outlet for the super rich.

commodity speculation to a point is good because it injects liquidity into the commodity market and insulates producers and distributors from price shocks. however commodity speculation needs to be harshly regulated and limited because excessive speculation can gently caress with prices. there are legitimate and well-regulated commodity speculators in the US but, in news that may shock you, several wall street firms were explicitly issued letters of exemption from regulation of commodity speculation and consequently can gamble as much money as they like on food and oil prices.

Why am I not surprised that Wall street companies can get exempted from the law in much the same manner that a kid can get out of gym class? No, wait, that's not fair. The kid would probably have a MUCH harder time with it.
