- PropCulture, on 10/10/2007, -17/+133Apparently, this is why "Thou shall not be a ***** liar" isn't one of the Ten Commandments.
- geekchic, on 10/10/2007, -8/+103They are not "manufactured" - these are the second-hand condoms we donate to charity shops for shipping out to Afrcia.
- colin409, on 10/10/2007, -6/+97What's the response from the Pope, if any? Can he fire this guy? I would hope he would, but I doubt he will.
- crimson117, on 10/10/2007, -0/+81I suggest we counter with "HOLY WATER IS INFECTED WITH HERPES"
- zweben, on 10/10/2007, -5/+70So the story is inaccurate because the person the story is about is wrong...?
That's a new one. - SOhp101, on 10/10/2007, -39/+100Buried as inaccurate. HIV cannot live outside of the body or bodily fluids for very long (something like less than 24 hours).
By the way, saying that abstinence is the best way to prevent HIV/other STIs is like saying the best way to avoid getting in an accident is to never leave home. - Rahodeb, on 10/10/2007, -8/+67Please, that story is no more far fetched than the universe being created in 7 days. If you're going to live in a fantasy, go all the way.
- PABeachBum, on 10/10/2007, -11/+67And Catholicism is infected with stupidity...
- humpy, on 10/10/2007, -4/+50That's why I save all mine in an old gym sock.
- chris8535, on 10/10/2007, -5/+51I can't figure out if you are trying to be ironic or if you really know this little about the Ten Commandments.
- TheHydrogens, on 10/10/2007, -7/+51Well, we all better go back to the Catholic method... Pull out and Pray!
- ThreeDee912, on 10/10/2007, -10/+53About 16.2% are infected with HIV, and about 17.5% are Catholic. Very close numbers. Not like this actually correlates to anything
- DivisibleByZero, on 10/10/2007, -8/+48I wonder if The Vatican is one of those European countries he's refering to.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+41This nothing new. It is just a continued extension of the anti-condom and anti-birth control campaign that they do in Africa, leading to the Catholic Church as one of the primary reasons why HIV is so rampant there.
Nothing beats an irrational belief that leads to the deaths of thousands. - hansk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+33he wont mention the countries or gives any evidence to support any of this. sounds like the guy has a few screws loose.
- Scottamus, on 10/10/2007, -3/+35Yes it's inaccurate because the title is "Condoms 'infected with HIV'!" not "Religious nutjob claims Condoms 'infected with HIV'!"
What irks me is he forgot to mention that each condom is made from the clipped wings of an angel. - FyreGoddess, on 10/10/2007, -16/+42Ron Paul thinks the government should stay out of it. If people want to manufacture condoms infected with HIV, then it's up to people to not buy contaminated condoms. The market will regulate itself.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+27If you had a device that could be used to prevent millions from getting a deadly disease and saving tens of thousands from dying AND you actively work to prevent that device from being used, what is that?
I call it murder but you can call it evil. - vileS, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26If a sperm is wasted, God is quite Irate.
- RogerT1, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26The point of the article is that he said this, not whether or not it is true.
- IKORKYI, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24Anyone who discourages the use of condoms in a place like Africa IS contributing. Primary? maybe....almost all of Africa has been "converted" to Christian religions, so it isn't that far fetched. See Rahodeb's response... anything is possible with an omni-capable God right? Open your eyes.
- jimmy72, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22Bearing false witness...it's #9
- chibimmy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20Don't a majority of accidents happen in the home?
- froman98, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21I wonder if the altar boys know about this.
- cyberdork, on 10/10/2007, -4/+23So requiring automobiles to be equipped with safety belts and low emission engines is to a Ronbot controlling or refereeing?
Or how about government sponsored HIV research? Research which would never be done by companies, because it's too risky and a return on investment would be very very unlikely... Under Ron Paul it would never be financed, like most fundamental research. - MaximusIGN, on 10/10/2007, -4/+22>>>"The Catholic Church formally opposes any use of condoms, advising fidelity within marriage or sexual abstinence."
It's mind numbing....The Catholic Church can't even get their own pedophile priests to follow those guidelines. So instead of dealing with reality they'd rather turn a blind eye to diseases and unwanted pregnancy's. Then to make it worse they'll condemn those that have abortions which might have been averted by a condom. - soulscreme, on 10/10/2007, -4/+21Condoms infected with AIDS? No. Abstention safer than condoms? Yes.
- egbok, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Q: What do you call a couple that use the rhythm method?
A: Parents
- Old joke current among (American) Catholics of my day. - xenex11, on 10/10/2007, -4/+20Jesus is spinning in his grave...you heard me.
- kindrobot, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17This is so far beyond "yelling fire in a crowded theatre". sick
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18That is not about lying. "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour."
This means you shall not lie when in a court of law or when making an oath. - theroyalweman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16the traditional interpretation of "bearing false witness" refers to giving misleading or false testimony in a court or legal proceeding.
- ardarvin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Believe nothing from The Sun. Terrible rag.
- SOhp101, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18Well the 10 commandments does mention thou shall not lie... pretty much the same thing.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15People forget that the ten commandments were civil/religious LAWS of the early Jewish nation. They don't care if you lie. they care if you lie when bearing witness in official court functions etc.
If you break those laws, the crime is death. - tarrmachine, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13In related news, Trojan is issuing a STD Value pack. The condoms are pre-infected with every ones favorite sexually transmitted diseases; Gonorrhea, Syphilis, HIV, and HPV are all part of the initial offering. Trojan Magnum now with Herpes, will hit stores soon in limited quantities.
- moskaudancer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14At least he *has* an icon, jackass.
- manbergur, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12if only i could +digg this comment more than once..
- jsdratm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12The virus can't survive outside of a host for more than 24 hours so even if it was true it wouldn't work too well.
- SiRwhilms, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13The statement in the title is in quotes. It is not asserting that the statement is true, it is asserting that someone (Catholic Leader) said it.
- jackbob, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Funny thing is that as I understand it, you need a living biological environment for the virus to survive. And as far as I can tell a latex condom is not living.
- allyant, on 10/10/2007, -20/+31The pope most likely supports this guy.
- darnit, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11....and your nic is clothmonkey :(
- BluesExplosion, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Well, if Catholics start using protection how will the church continue expanding it's political base?
- Etchii, on 10/10/2007, -5/+15I hate religion for just this reason. God is a tool for explaining the unexplainable. Religion exploited this into a way to make money. Now that progress is slowly taking things away from Gods portfolio, they revert to scare tactics, preying on the weak minded and emotionally damaged in order to keep the money flowing in.
Think about it, catholics are taught to give up your posessions and follow christ... All ordained take a vow of poverty... yet the Vatican is home to priceless relics (read: Idols). If someone is willing to pay 1 billion for a statue they have, shouldn't the church be obligated to sell it and use the proceeds to help the poor? Why don't they? - RBL134, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10For the people who don't trust or like The Sun here is the story from the BBC
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7014335.st ... - MaynardJK, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Being a conservative has nothing to do with being a religious nutjob. Anybody that wants the government to enforce their views on everybody is no conservative.
/conservative atheist - pintomp3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9how about bearing false witness about yourself?
