  OMG! Simon started a fluff thread? *LOL*
  
  OK. Kathleen Turner. She was hot in Jewel of the Nile, and in Body Heat. And I loved her voice as Jessica Rabbit ... "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way."

  "It is forbidden to consume the excrement of animals or their nasal secretions. But if such are mixed in minute proportions into other foods their consumption is not forbidden."
  
  That explains the 'special sauce' on a Big Mac ...

  It's all about women; the Roman Catholic Church in the 21st C.

  well, the new pope has a task to take on or to ignore.. every single one of the major doctinal issues facing the roman catholic church involves women.the celebacy of priestscontraceptionfemale priestsabortion.

  it is ironic that john paul ii, who was a maryist, has left the church just as misogynistic as it was when he took up the papacy.. it seems devotion to a pseudo-historical representation of womanhood borrowed and developed from pre-christian religions is not enough to stop sexist attitudes; women are still too dirty to allow to have sex with priests, are not allowed control over their own bodies, and are unworthy of being spiritual guides and mentors.. all the bets are on a traditionalist being elected pope, so i doubt we will see any change.. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?article_id=29948.

  I'm OK with that concept, Ab. You should come to America & apply for citizenship. And once you've become a U.S. citizen, you can have a voice in these issues.

  what is the most ridiculous song that you couldn't listen too.. because of so called bad lyircs (maybe misheard lyrics), sexy beat or because fo the person who sang it didn't have the proper morals?.

  mine.... couldn't listen to ac/dc because it meant they went both ways.

  My old man cracked down on Jimmy Buffett tunes, especially Pencil Thin Mustache (the reference to jazz musicians smoking marijuana) and God's Own Drunk ('nuff said). He would have had a cow over some of the other tapes I kept in my car ... AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, etc.

  "We do have sepperation of church and state but the "conservatives" refuse to acknowledge it ."
  
  It comes down to a question of interpretation: does the constitution prohibit any mention of religion and religious principles by the state? Or does it prohibit the establishment of a state sponsored religion to the detriment of other faiths?

  Yeah, you're right. The official position is still from 1966: no rubbers, no pills ... just the rhythm method.

  "Do we really care?"
  
  No, not really.
  
  Women do play a large role in the Church, as religious education directors, nuns, administrators, fundraisers, and many other positions. But I don't foresee the Church reversing two millennia of tradition by allowing women to become priests or by allowing priests to marry (which has effectively been taboo for the past 1500 years). Ditto for their stance on abortion.
  
  Policies on contraception, from what I understand, have relaxed quite a bit over the past few decades. As long as it's not a permanent sterilization (or the abandonment of a fertilized egg or a developing fetus, as would be the case with a 'morning after' pill or an abortion) ... the Church seems to be more accepting of short-term birth control methods (condoms, spermicides, birth control pills, etc.).
  
  When you're married in a Catholic ceremony, you do promise to lovingly accept children as a blessing from God. This would imply that at some point you're gonna pop out a batch of junior Catholics.
