This week the Pope apologized for the Irish priests and their committed abuses against the Irish people. I wonder why? Why apologize? Read more…

OF COURSE NOT!! I can’t believe how stupid people can be! I was reading what people wrote on the matter, it would just shock you. I mean a lady wrote: “He’s a trained animal and yet he doesn’t know how to behave himself towards his trainer.

They should let the other whales witness the execution as well so they’ll know better.”  My first thought: What the F*ck? On what planet is this lady living on? Read more…
