Notice how he left out the part where the most common cause of rape is the guards themselves--especially in prisons for children.  If that article Dave showed me is anything to go on.

This guy is hit or miss for me

I'd say that, on the whole, he's much more miss than hit, just like his predecessor.  Given what his predecessor set as some of his duties, this is inevitable.

was there a pope who was more hit than miss?

I mean, you're talking about the only institution (to my knowledge) to have every done this.

yeah, let that sink in.

Weirder things have happened. Mussolini's corpse was executed by hanging. And then stoned.

[Ibrahim90]

Weirder things have happened. Mussolini's corpse was executed by hanging. And then stoned.

yeah, and Oliver Cromwell was posthumously strung up. It happened way too often in history.

but no one actually put his corpse (or Mussolini's) in a courtroom for trial. seriously, what is the point? I mean, the defendant can't defend himself: he'll just sit quietly in the courtroom gawking at everyone (or falling apart). And one looks like an utter cunt (like Stephen did)--largely because one would be one.

I really don't get why so many people idolize Cromwell. He made the BBC poll of 10 greatest Britons of all time.

I never said I did idolize him. just to be clear. He was just the first example of posthumous execution I came up with

As to why he's idolized? from all the documentaries I saw about him, he's associated with many, with the curtailing of the power of kings in England, his advocacy of religious toleration, etc. of course, reality was quite a bit different (he was a military dictator, more powerful than any King of England, and he never lived up to the whole toleration bit).

He also made a dubiously useful war with Holland (a major reason Elizabeth intervened in the Spanish invasion attempt was because the Dutch made the best canons in Europe at the time, and she wanted to ensure she could continue to buy them), and conquered Ireland (which set up numerous horrendous actions that followed).

He banned theater (we know of Shakespeare mostly because his plays were published posthumously by friends, we know almost nothing of the work of most of the numerous other playwrights of the same era, and not just because almost all of them got into legal trouble because of their plays).
at the time

Oh, and his most famous action is banning Christmas...to the extent he made it illegal to GO TO CHURCH on Christmas, had the army seize traditional Christmas foods, prohibited the giving of gifts, singing of carols, and any other expression of the day.

Pretty much, he was your typical hard-ass evangelical Christian hypocrite (music and smoking were OK, since he liked them himself).

You should see their article on free market.  Last I saw, it showed a picture of an empty shelf in a store and calling it the result of a free market.

So I've discovered a question anti-vaccers will never answer.

How do vaccinations cause the things they claim they do.

Because the god do not waht his warpriest to suck for no reason.

Which is why the God wants them to use the weapon they give all the bonuses to...

Wich make no sense. Desna godess of liberty totally punish her follower for use the weapon they want.

Your a bit off here Nicos, you don't get punished for not wielding the favored weapon, you get rewarded for doing so.

So this is from the playtest discussions of one of pathfinder's new base classes, the warpreist. There has been a discussion revolving around the sacred weapon mechanic. Sacred weapon gives bonuses when you weild a deity's favored weapon. However, there are some deitys that don't have very good favored weapons (like pharisma, one who desposes undead, has a pidly dagger as her favored weapon). It also doesn't make much sense that deities of freedom or of war and weapons would only give bonuses to one weapon and practically penalize the class for using something different which sux for them cause it means they are falling behind the more mundane fighters and the less martial clerics.

Also the argument that you don't get punished for not using the deity's weapon kind of reminds me of the argument some creationist make: "You aren't being punished for not believing, you are only rewarded for doing so." kind of like a twisted pascell's wager.
