Wasn't Ramirez murdered in his church, like Thomas a Becket? I may be wrong.. I've read a bit about liberation theology and should read more. There was a group of nuns murdered in a Central American country at about the same time- and I took them as heroes as well. Don't remember details,sorry!

The first priest killed at the alter since a Becket yeah.

"Tear down the rulers from their thrones and lift up the lowly, fill the hungering with good things and send the rich off with nothing" Luke 1:52,53)

John Foster Dulles: "There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who are Christians and support free enterprise; and The Others."

If you check out the SOAW website they name the guys who killed Ramerez, the nuns massacre, the bishop that was shot in 1998, and lots more. All of them were trained by the US army at The School of Americas in Georgia.

But of course America will not tolerate terrorism, or those who harbour terrorism.

I must check out that website first chance I get - and yeah, we know the Americans don't support terrorism - they are flamin' hypocrites from where I sit! But you can't say so - did you hear what happened to Anthony Mundine? Do you even know who he is? I didn't til last week. He's an Ausralian aborigine, who converted to Islam and some type of boxing champion. He said (as a Muslim would) in an interview something whci amounted to "They brought it (WTC) on themselves". All hell broke loose,and he held a press conference to apologise. No use. He was stripped of all his boxing titles! (For anti-Americanism). I can't believe Australians would do such an obsequious thing! If it was them, and not some international boxing organisation.. I know *nothing* about *any* sport...

There's nothing i have less interest in than boxing i'm afraid*. I think it should be banned. Not the actual boxing bit, if two guys want to hit each other, for sport, or to settle an argument, then that's up to them. I just don't think anyone should be alowed to watch. Fighting isn't barbaric, it's what people do, watching and enjoying it is. In my humble, but correct, oppinion.



*and i am afraid.

No, I absolutely agree with you Autist, about boxing as a sport, and wrestling as well. I hadn't heard of the guy, or the fuss about him, until it was on the TV news!

Obviously i appologise wholeheartedly for neglecting to include women's rights to belt the living daylights out of each other in my previous post. I only hope you weren't so offended by this oversight that we have to step outside.

Weird! That women do it (boxing, wrestling or fighting) "grosses me back to the Stone Age", to use my little sister's expression. (Mind, she's an aggro type of female, always has been.. )

I thought there were only two types of female: aggro and sleeping...

LOL! There is the 3rd type - like me, uninvolved (with males that is). How many types of men? Aggro, whining and ..let's see, The Boss(who doesn't need to be aggro, he knows he's in charge...) Hey,maybe I'm the sleeping sort of woman?

Agatha Christie once said "Women don't need the vote, they need arming".

That's me BTW

TAFKAF x.

Have you seen the email about sending menopausal women to Afghanistan to find Bin Laden, and fight Afghanis? It's not really funny, but a right wing talkback host who dislikes women and Bin Laden keeps reading it out. Never underestimate the anger of a wronged woman!

It's ironic how the right wingers are griping about the Talebans oppression of women by removing the rights that were given to the by the Soviets.
