JuventaDJ:I see. Well, then it's a matter of perspective. I personally don't see politics as anything but false crap so to me the only account that matters is the geography. I don't believe in countries, but in a whole Earth. So whatever they write in their books, I'll still see Vatican as being in Italy.

I would think that an Indian reservation was a better comparison.

/cept that the Holy Sea is international recognized and stuff.

This is kind of fun. The Vatican is bordered on all sides by Italy. But, it is not "in" Italy. Why, oh why can you not understand the distinction?

Having read the profile of touchyournose, I now understand his difficulty. This is apparently a concept that can only be grasped after the age of 30.

JuventaDJ not supposedly, does.

The Roman Catholic Church, headquartered in Vatican City, operates hopitals, schools, missions, hospices, and other charity endeavors around the world. These charities serve Catholics and Non-Catholics, Christians and Non-Christians alike. Without overstatement it is the single largest force for ameliorating the sufferings of the poor and sick in the world.

It is more than a little petty to question that on the basis of a few electric carts that, again, the article doesn't say they bought.

OK wait a second - when did I Catholic bash? I *am* Catholic, for crying out loud. I was simply addressing a question that someone posed about why this was news. That was my personal hypothesis as to why it might be considered "of interest". Touchy touchy!

Well, I am sorry if I misinterpreted the gist of your initial post JuventinaDJ.

My initial call to end the unjustified (in this case) Catholic bashing wasn't addressed to you, though, but to the posters above you in the thread.

Well asshole, regardless of whether or not you "believe in countries" (you actually don't believe in the concept of countries and nations. Countries do exist. They are not like Santa Claus or Eskimos.), the Holy See (Vatican City) remains a separate nation bordered on all sides by the nation of Italy.

This is not a hard concept to understand. Then again, your profile contains a statement that war is caused by irregular months, so this might be above the level of thinking that you normally do.

HappyDaddy:Ok, so the geographical distinction is based on the political data soVatican City is outside of Italy bordered on all sides, I was kinda wrong. I get that, but stop talking like your age makes you understand more. Maturity is an illusion. The world we live in is fake, all that you know are lies.

Besides, what do you mean after 30? It's a simple political geography lesson. You're just flinging your age around. I don't need to be 30 to grasp this. I can grasp things I'm pretty sure you can't. For starteres I wonder just how many times you've done mushrooms, or smoked DMT.

touchyournose

It's my age, I can damned well fling it around if I feel like it.

I implore you to step away from your computer. With each post you make yourself look more foolish.

Most things such as these carts are given as gifts. For example the new popemobile was made and given freely by Ferrari.

flyingdutchmen:

Atleast I understand that the real truth can't be grasped but only in death. I mean, what do you really know? Sounds like you really don't grasp what I'm talking about. Is it so hard to imagine the Earth is one entity and maybe all our labels are false beliefs caused by fear and confusion?

Oh, BTW, The Irregular 12 month Catholic Gregorian calendar is the cause of psychic confusion and war. The clock is our reason for mechanization and deviation from nature. Linear dates create fear of death and ego. Why are we counting from some date we pulled out of our asses 2000 years ago? Why is everyone acknowledging the Christian Saviors birth everytime they count the date?

In actuality, the moon orbits the Earth every 28 days, 13 times in a year. This creates a natural perpetual calendar as 28 days is 4 weeks and the 1st is a Sunday and the 28th a Saturday. This 364 day process is ended by an extra day that is no day of the week or year, the day out of time (July 25th), a day for the forgiveness of debts and the celebration of Time is Art. There is also a 13:20 calendar of 260 days tracking spirituality based on our bodies thirteen segments (ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and spinal column) and twenty fingers and toes.

If you want to delude yourself, goto church. Want true knowledge, eat a mushroom. Archaic revival. http://www.deoxy.org

Hi, I went to the Vatican a couple of years ago. Touring the parts of it you can tour convinced me without a doubt that the higher ups in the Vatican are all in it for the Bling.

halfof33:Just trying to dispense some enlightenment. Just remember you won't find the answer by following anybody.

staplermofo:Wrong. It's a thread about evil Catholic golf carts that are lies beyond your comprehension.

I was in the Vatican and couple of years ago. I thought it was kind of ironic to see the gold plated collection plates next to the gold plated light switches.

And yes, I did see the Popemobile

/baptised catholic

Touchyournose: Thanks for the "enlightenment." But I just remembered that I won't find the answer by following anybody.

/gotta get me one of them evil golf carts.

lunchbox1972: Actually Texas is not wholly contained within the US. It is bordered by Mexico..

Did someone forget how to use his Venn diagrams? BORDERED by, not RUNNING OVER INTO. Texas is, by defintion, wholly within the US, because, in case it's still not clear, the US doesn't end until Texas does, then it ends at exactly the same spot.

the Vatican is not in Italy because Italy stops where it starts. It may be surrounded by Italy, but it is a distinct set.

The Italian State Police also uses Lamborghini Gallardos

The Ferrari station wagon surrenders.

/It's on supercars.net somewhere
//The Sultan of Brunei owns it.

That Gallardo is sweetness. It's also extra amusing that they gave it to the "Polizia Stradale" - the halfwits that can't seem to even direct traffic correctly, and not the Carabinieri who actually chase down drug runners, etc. Still, I would be honored to get pulled over by that thing.

jondular

My head asplode.

Is this the Vatican golf cart thread, or the Art Bell thread?

staplermofo:hahaha, good timing, that'll keep me laughing today.

lather:The Catholic church has kept much of humanity in a mental haze through it's Gregorian calendar. Much more of the story is that aliens exist like us and souls exist too. So does God. We are approaching something beyond the grasp of our understanding.

I say pimp the shiat out of them and put 20s wit spinners and a tv in the steering wheel, matching platinum goblet holders and a fishtank/kareoke machine in the back. Green mink fur all around. Dat shiat be blingin.

"Did I do Thaaaat??

Ahem, this is thread about farking golfcarts, how did we get on to 13 month calenders?

Oh wait, that's how, Touchyournose got involved. You sir, are a wanker in the first degree.

Zero to six miles/hour in 4.4 seconds. Sweet.

The Vatican doesn't have toilet seats on their toilets. I've been there. The Sistine Chapel smells like BO. That is all.

Touchyournose == -lite.

"9.890,00EUR"
I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT! Does it mean it's 9 Euros and 89 Euro cents, or 890,00 (Eight-hundred ninety-hundred?!?) Euro cents.
WHY CAN'T THEY SPEAK ENGLISH LIKE THE REST OF US?!?
Nine point eight-ninety-hundred Euros?!
OMGWTFBBQ!!!!1

Timecube is stupid. It's just a bunch of nonsense. Reminds me of http://www.fatchicksinpartyhats.com.

mimo:Use your farking head, this is a story about the vatican and *ahem* EVERYONE ON THE WHOLE WORLD USES THEIR CALENDAR! So I see it as applying in some way. You reject the truth with such ferocity. How can the very existance you crave to keep alive possibly be a farce? How could the calendar possibly matter? It's mental laziness to accept the answer and follow somebody.

Not to mention the huge load of crap Christianity is.

/just sayin'

If I were to pop in to make the point that touchyournose was talking to himself, would that mean that he wasn't?

Back to the article, though...it does say that the Italian police were the people who acquired these carts, not the Vatican police (the Swiss Guard)...

/not funded by the Vatican; thems are hard earned Italian taxes at work!
