Lounge of Tomorrow - WTF Stories of the Week

CHANTILLY, Va. - A new pharmacy in northern Virginia that refuses to provide any contraceptives has received the blessing of the Catholic Church.
Bishop Paul S. Loverde, the head of the Diocese of Arlington, came to Divine Mercy Care Pharmacy on Tuesday. About 75 people crowded into the small storefront as Loverde sprinkled holy water and gave his blessings.

The pharmacy opened this week in a Chantilly strip mall. The founders say there are only a handful of others like it in the country.

The more I think about it the more I start to like the idea of moving all the religious right extremists into the deep south, and then building a huge wall around them. They'll either form their own theocratic dictatership, or kill each other off. Either way, not our problem anymore.

I wonder if that goes for condoms too, since ya know, every sperm is sacred... :rolleyes:

Yet, BCPs are also prescribed to women to regulate periods, etc. Oh, such blasphemy! :rolleyes:

I would totally support that! :snap:

Yes, I really wish they'd partition themselves off. But, I'd still want to be able to watch them fight over "my Jesus is better than your Jesus" between the different sects.

Because I need something besides stories that keep pissing me off:

'Dinosaur dance floor' unearthed in Arizona
Multitude of beastly tracks likely belonged to at least four different species

Quote:

More than 1,000 dinosaur footprints along with tail-drag marks have been discovered along the Arizona-Utah border. The incredibly rare concentration of beastly tracks likely belonged to at least four different species of dinosaurs, ranging from youngsters to adults.

The whole story

Datsa a bigga print:

I just noticed that I spelled "dictatorship" wrong in my above post. It just glares out at me.... It makes my cheese sad. :(

I just assumed you were speaking of an authoritarian government for potatoes.

I don't mind if the couples believe that for themselves, and choose to do what they believe is right within their sexual relationship. My problem is when they force that belief on other people.

They sprinkled holy water on the pharmacy? Can I just say that this pope makes me want to gag?

Holy water makes the best gin and tonics. :cool:
