I myself have always drank Coca-Cola, however I might just switch to Pepsi now. If you want to convince me of something, I will need to see a website that is NOT run by right wing, Catholic hating Protestants…
 
Well, I’m personally scared to eat anything now. Apparently their additives are in lots of things, and not required to be listed in ingredients because of their small amounts:

Eesh. We are stopping drinking sodas in general soon anyway, when school starts the 18th hopefully.
 
If you don’t understand what is so funny about this, I cannot even try to explain it to you.

Please…enlighten us!

Because this is far worse than radicals claiming Harry Potter, Rock and Roll, and Swimsuits are the Devils tools.

If these facts are correct Corporations are essentially supporting the business of taking advantage of human embryos that were for one reason or another deemed fit to be experimented on because their biological creators did not want them…

Is THAT funny to you? That now it seems thanks to Greed and immorality it isn’t even safe to ingest junk food anymore?!

I’ll do my best, but I don’t think it will work. In fact, I will tell you a deep secret that will make you happier, slim your thighs, and, better then anything else, will truly “enlighten” you.

**Lighten up. **

See? Don’t you feel enLIGHTENED?

This doesn’t explain why this issue is so funny for a handful of people who claim to be Catholic.

I suppose we should all just “lighten up” about abortion too? I mean if we don’t care about drinking products that were tested with life ended in it’s first moments then why care when it’s a child in the second or third trimester!

You can be as pro-life as possible and still keep a sense of humor.

I don’t know why your shaking your head about this…

These were the jokes…
I’m going to drink a Mountian Dew while reading Harry Potter and wearing shorts and a t-shirt to church.

I will join you, except I am wearing a tank top, shorts, reading HP and drinking the Diet version.

You know what these jokes are saying? They are saying that the use of fetal matter in these flavor tests is a non-issue that it’s the absurdities of only extremist Catholics who believe that reading Harry Potter is sinful and that not going to Church in your Sunday Best is equally as sinful.

forgive me if I don’t find the use of aborted fetus matter by greedy corporations to be equal in sin to dressing nice for Sunday Mass and reading Harry Potter.

Yeah, clearly we see things differently.

Want to split a Pepsi together? My treat.
 
How about instead of trolling you respond to my statement?

Is the issue in this thread just a non-issue for you?

Relax my friend. This isn’t “trolling”, it’s more like I see things differently than you. That’s it.

But thanks for saying I’m a troll. I’m kind of flattered by it.
 
You still haven’t explained your position on this matter…

Exactly why is this worth joking about as if not important?

Ok, here is my position. I’m very pro life, and I already don’t drink pepsi products because I don’t drink soda at all.

I’ve noticed that sour, humorless people don’t attract people to their side. Using humor and wit, you can bring alot more people to your side. You can also show people the real horror of things like this and not use screaming, yelling, or acting like a sourpuss.

There.

Only a small minority of people would know these facts, especially the second part. That being said, I already explained that your joke essentially just put this matter of fetal tissue being used by corporations at the same level as the people who claim reading Harry Potter is Sinful.

I will try to explain why I think this is funny, but seeing as somebody already tried to explain it, and they did it better then I can, I don’t see how this will help…

However, I will try anyways…

because I like hitting my head against a wall… :banghead:
  1. I am NOT convinced that this story is true. All the info I can find about it is on right wing, wacky, anti-Catholic and Protestant websites. These people LIE about EVERYTHING.
  2. The Church has not said anything about this yet, and until they do, I am not going to worry about it.
  3. It almost seems like you are LOOKING for things to get upset about. IF somebody cares about abortion, PRAY and WORK for change, however even you must see that not drinking Pepsi is NOT going to stop abortion from happening.
and last but not least…
  1. Boycotts rarely work, and this one, so far removed from who is killing babies here, has NO chance at all of working. Nobody is saying Pepsi is killing babies, or even that this company that Pepsi works with is killing babies, but that this company used some cells from an abortion for a test a while ago, so now I should Boycott Pepsi over it, come on.
Pax,
Speedypizza

P.S. Please stop trying to say I am not pro-life or Catholic because I don’t think this is a real issue.

James 1:19-20
Remember this, my dear brothers: everyone should be quick to listen but slow to speak and slow to human anger; God’s saving justice is never served by human anger.

Brave man. Few have walked in the valley of the humorless and come back unscathed. I wish you luck good sir or ma’am.

And take a few cans of Pepsi with you. It can get hot in that valley!
