All Catholics! Get this...please...

[Elvis_Guy]

The #1 confessed sin among men is now…porn…most blockers are crud! They slow you down block things that aren’t bad…you name it…also 70 % of folk hit a naughty site by accident …when the Rangers played Frisco…I was trying to grab some stats …I hit a link it shot me to a Sports illustrated swimsuit ad…lovely lady… In a barely there bikini bottom…top…of…chest lo.l was a top made of a bit of sand and a few fingers! I was once trying to replace a hoodie like most guys…I hate shopping for clothes…my wife hates my hoodie so…again looking online…and I see a link called american apperal…beloved…it makes Vic secret look jolly Disney … Actually I found later the owner uses porn stars…see through city…point…I was only hoodie shopping!!! ok…but guys…it’s hard to just forget ya saw something ( it’s like the game try not to think of a blue eyed polar bear for 5 seconds…more ya try the more it fights to get in) so…I recommended this to my Priest for men and families of my church as well as a Protestant pastor friend…it’s called …K9! It’s free!!! It works it will not slow you down, it stops from hitting accidental sites (Google floats those!!) if ya have kiddos it can be set to Bark if a attempt is made!!! Now! Suppose you are a MD and researching breast cancer …it can be tuned to your needs so the b words not blocked but it still blocks the naughty sites! I am using it now on my iPad it’s my only browser! I shut down safari on my iPhone and iPad it’s an app for those…it’s made for Mac and PC! If ya hate it has a removal! But it’s the BEST I’ve seen! So guard your eyes! …remember it’s FREE… very simple to use! So Mac PC iPad iPhone …it may be out now for other smartphones …I don’t have a link but just type K9 Web browser!!! I recommend all good Catholics have it!!! Pax!!!

That was very cruel ! I have wrist I injured badly in a car accident I almost lost my life and my right wrist gets cramped and tight, I as a Catholic and a KoC man would like to think I could post without a school yard taunt. As for grammar … I hold a Comp Lit degree from Boston College. If you see mistakes feel free to pm me that I may correct them or take my pain meds. You chose to shame me openly. I pray you never have the hand dominant nearly crippled and feel the scorn. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. But you did not know, I’m not angry, I offer my friendship and I was sincere in saying if my hand cramps and claws and I’m illegible send a pm… Please. God bless you.

The point of this board is to communicate. I dont need your life story and it dosn’t matter if youre doing so because your poorly educated, holding a baby, non-native english speaker or simply want to be creative. And believe me…theres a couple of people on this board who ARE wholly ignored because they mess around with font and color. Im sure you dont want to be ignored.

Your post also reads like spam. I am surprized it didnt get accidentally reported as such. You have a good message, my whole point was not to let it get lost in delivery.

Ps. I wasnt the only one who found the post unreadable.

God Bless you!!! I tried to explain my hand and wrist were so damaged…the bones in areas fragmented to the point the Docs feared bones would come out the incision …lol…gross sorry to all eating breakfast!!! But brother they wired and bound my hand , knowing a lot would hard calcify … Good MDs did a fine job my hand does not look odd…you would notice certain fingers always in place and limited wrist movement…I typed my op left handed on a iPad using a 3 finger method I invented! Lol… You will see post with fewer errors I am using right hand now here in Texas it has been cold and damp it does job! Thanks for your very kind words! I was rather hurt and offended by one poster…who I offered a friendship to and explained my situation…oh well…the good old ignore list is handy! Pax Et Bonum !!!

 

[Elvis_Guy]

Well…lol…I guess I will not ever do a thread on a hot button topic like …web browsers…! Man! WOW!!! I must have been feeling dangerous!!!: Well…we have all had threads that have trail jumped!!! But …I like to end things on an up…one thing was noted…someone said it looked like spam…my connnfession…I was back reading as I wrote and I thought…man!!! I’m sounding like some cheesy info-commercial or that grotty thing where they sell all that junk and keep saying we don’t have many left…back in my younger wild child days me and friends would watch that after…errr…smoking…something( hey it’s been over 2 Decades ago…most of us went though …idiot phase!) anyway the special smokes and the tv show where the limiteted plastic glow in the dark set…hurry call in now …was just so funny to us…so!!! Confession…I did play a little angle of over the top commercial !!! It hit me when I typed the words…and it’s free…lol…I started to change it and then…180…run with it…I used it like a refrain …as well as…it works on Mac And PC…oh well…even my wife thinks my sense of humor is weird…but…there ya have it class!!! I was playing in satire of cheesy bad late night commercials!!! Grace and Peace!!!

Your sense of humor is fine…tell your wife, that I agree. I also like the fact that you have the coo-raj to mention those stat’s about porn being the #1sin in confession these days.

I was in my teens when we got TV in my country and it is almost unbelievable how much porn (in my youth we would whisper the word, never this outspoken)is freely available in the ‘electronic media’.

The guys of today, of all ages, have my deepest sympathy. I sometimes wonder how it must feel to be a guy, and know that such material is available, anywhere, anytime…just a click away? It is a frightening thought, boggles the mind. No more do men have to go in search of such stuff, which not so long ago, took time, effort and money, not to mention a serious intention too.

Conversely, if we women knew that just a click away, there were going to be guys telling us how wonderful we are, how they will love us forever and ever, in fact so much so, that they are sending a cheque right now to us of $$$$$ to pledge their loyalty- no strings attached, just please come back and say ‘hi’ and a kind word now and again…etc…think this would become confessional sin #…?

Keep on doingthe good work…as you know eeevilwill flourish when…

And where would these stats come from? Priests reporting what is said in confession?

 

[latin_rite]

Priests could report on what sorts of sins are being confessed without infringing on confidentiality.

 

[Elvis_Guy]

Priests could report on what sorts of sins are being confessed without infringing on confidentiality.

Yes! Thanks for “fielding” that question…when say US Bishops meet they of course…discuss a variety of needs…problems…It is not a poll per say …like Barna! Priests in a Diocese can give a broad/general view of issues…like this to the local Bishop. My understanding…no actual numbers are used!!! It still much protects the confessional ! The broad issue/issues in turn help both our Bishops and Parish Priests find solutions, and education on counseling! Thank you for asking! The confessional…maintains Sacramental privacy …the parameters in no way infringe on that! Great question! Thanks … Sorry I was not clear it is not a “poll” as we generally think of it…Blessings!!!

Hey kiddo, here’s something I think you might find interesting.

Adding to the success of faculty at Clarion University may seem like a daunting task. Dr. Andrew Lingwall, an associate professor in the Department of Communication, has done just that with the writing of his paper. The paper, titled “Analyzing Student Writing Proficiency and Assessment Measures in Programs of Journalism and Mass Communication,” is about the increasing pattern of poor student writing that has been prevalent in the past years. Lingwall asserts that over the past 10 years, the overall writing skills of the average college student has greatly decreased. For his paper, Lingwall conducted a study based on a survey sent to 1,000 members of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communications. The survey recipients were asked to assess the writing skills of their students and rate them. “We’re dealing with a substantial amount of time each week dealing with basic student writing issues that should have been resolved before they were admitted into the program,” Lingwall said. “This means that we can’t bring up new ideas or move on to interesting things because we are correcting these problems.” Lingwall lists possible causes for this reoccurring slump of poor writing. He suggests that maybe it’s poor writing instruction in the middle school or high school level; maybe students have not received proper instruction when they entered the university. He also points to the possibility of technology having an impact on student writing. Technology affects everyone, and Lingwall brings up the possibility of “informal writing” having its effect on college students. According to his study, this is not an isolated problem confined to a certain region or area. Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped-turned upside down and I liked to take a minute just sit right there and tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air. In west Philadelphia born and raised on the playground is where I spent most of my days chillin out, maxin, relaxing all cool, and all shooting some b-ball outside of the school when a couple of guys who were up to no good started making trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one lil fight and my mom got scared and said “You’re moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air” I Begged and pleaded with her day after day, But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way. She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket. I put my walkman on and said I might as well kick it. First class yo this is bad. Drinking orange juice out of a champaine glass, is this what the people of Bel-Air living like? Hmm this might be alright. I whistled for a cab and when it came near. The license plate said ‘fresh’ and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I can say this cab was rare. But I thought naw forget it yo homes to Bel-Air. I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8, and I yelled to the cabby “Yo homes smell ya later”. I looked at my kingdom I was finally there to sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air. Lingwall discovered that even professors at big name schools such as Ohio State, West Virginia, Penn State and Syracuse were rating their student’s writing skills in the lower percentile. “Apparently even the kids who are competing for admission to a larger university…still have a lot of writing problems, too,” said Lingwall. Lingwall’s study shows students who aren’t good writers are going to do worse in school and get lower GPAs. Not only are they not going to be as successful, they aren’t going to get hired when they begin looking for a job. Lingwall offers possible remedies for these problems. He said he believes that the college or university should meet students where they’re at and provide remediation courses for those below average. He said that students need to understand the matters. He also said students are not reading enough good books, saying that one way to improve writing is to read the works of those who did it best. On Aug. 6, Lingwall presented his paper to the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC) 2010 National Convention. It received recognition and is now being revised to be published in Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal. This is an accomplishment for Lingwall because only about 30 percent of the articles that are submitted to this journal are published. “I’m just really excited about it because it was a tremendous amount of work to get it accepted to this journal…I feel very rewarded,” Lingwall said.

Just saw your post… Lol…I will share on my Texas/Irish Catholic sense of humor…I have to be careful…some think I’m sarcastic…but sarcasm…is not my brand of humor I tend to irony and plays on words…folk who know me …know I’m harmless… but I sometimes have to figure out who gets me so I don’t get em riled up…I prefer a rile free life
