You should change your caption though, you are not Fr. Cutie Face.

 

Sorry.

 

No, I'm not Father Cutie Face. I'm Father Cute Face.  Major difference.

Heh I've been following it on Reddit. :|

 

Update: The Government of Ukraine is launching a counter-terror attack, and Ukraine's leader has replaced the head of army. Worse yet, reports say civilians have stolen over 1,500 firearms and 100,000 rounds of ammunition. It seems like the violence we have seen may unfortunately look like nothing compared to what might happen next.

I am sympathetic to your view on this, but blazingstar's as well... If you watch the major news channels and read major newspapers, you are likely to be very poorly informed (which is what they want.) However, there are plenty of American news sources and it's very easy to be well informed if you so choose. For instance, I was following this Ukranian stuff via my favorite, very well trafficked sources, as far back as the first week of december, if not earlier.


What do you recommend? I try to follow multiple sources so I have a more balanced idea of what is happening in the world...

You're a cheating pinko commie. Duh.

 

 

I'm just unsure of what socialists have to do with this since the Ukranian President is not a socialist.

Hasan, FP pretty much nailed it with his commie comment, but I see a former party member who is under the thumb of a former KGB agent... it doesn't get more socialist than that in my book...

 

Brandelynmarie, if I could read only one site, it would be instapundit.com, which is really more of an aggregator, but if you read that site you won't agree with everything, but you'll get a wide variety of links covering trending issues, political, economic, and social.  There are other sites I follow, but most of those sites he'll link to from time to time.

 He was in the Communist Party when that was the best method to attain political power, twenty years ago.  When the USSR fell he changed his ideological affiliation.  Which is why he no longer identifies as a communist and is not a member of a Socialist party now.  That's a pretty common trend throughout the former USSR and Warsaw Pact regions.

Sounds like we are focusing outside instead of inside, heal yourself, than heal your local parish, than heal your local community, than heal the u.s.a. Than and only than consider healing the world. At least try. :) Start by switching off all media including movies and television programs, and rise from the media comma and rise for real not just with your tounge and mind, go fish.

 

Young men of GOD, RISE UP! I care about the world, but also not much i can do except yap about things outside of my local dojo. We had a riot in redfern a few years ago, molitoffs and rocks, over a teenage boy dying in a police chase.

 

JC " I will make you fishers of Men."

 

P.s. You may only catch one or two in your lifetime and many failures but at least try, and don't stop at one or two if you do catch one or two. If you can't tell i'm way anti media and way pro fishing for relaxation, once you get the hang of it it's easy and there are plenty of different ways to go fishing and any christian can and is called to do this to some degree or another. Who cares what people think and say, really. LETS GO GET EM'!

Sweet Jesus. The latest news is in: Yesterday, the president of Ukraine gave in and called for a truce and end to the violence. What he didn't mention was that this was a trap to get people into the open, and that as soon as the people were vulnerable, there were cops and military waiting with guns. They opened fire and killed 70 people. Saint Zachary, Patron Saint of peace, pray for us.

-The current Ukrainian state does not constitutionally identify as a socialist state

-The President of Ukraine is not and does not claim to be a socialist

-The Communist Party is illegal in Ukraine

-The Socialist party in Ukraine is a marginal party in Ukrainian politics.  

 

 

This strife has nothing to do with socialism.
