Being a Catholic means you accept the ultimate authority of the Pope in matters of doctrine. If you don't accept that, then you have renounced your Catholic faith, regardless of whether YOU think you've done so. And accepting the authority of the Pope means you accept transubstantiation; believe any effective method of birth control is a sin; are certain that you are damned with original sin until properly baptized; etc.

The whole Reformation (and the Orthodox schism) was about whether or not the Pope and the Church was the final authority on matters of faith. If you don't accept that he is, and the Church has everything right, then you are a Protestant, whether or not that's convenient for the modern Church to enforce or yourself to admit.

Malaysia is a great country, go visit and don't believe the Telegraph - this is a paper that often dropped these CalgarySun/Daily Mail style articles to rouse the ire of the middle classes
Aside from the Tropical weather, local produce and food, there's little to be desired with life in Malaysia.

If you think the racism is bad in this thread, i don't think you've lived long enough in Malaysia where its society is pretty much segregated into 3 main groups

I agree. I prefer it if people would leave their bigoted crap in that thread, so that I can ignore it.

Sometimes I feel like people are doing really well with tolerance, and understanding of their fellow man, then I have a moment of weakness, and come to threads like this, and realize, nope. That stuff just transferred to other ways to be a bigot. And a worrying number of people seem to think it's fine. People who should know better.

I googled, it seems like generally BJ Services Ltd. and Oyster Bars are forbidden in the Muzzy Faith.

Was it actually from the Onion? I've had cats all my life . If it stressed them out I'm sure they wouldn't ask for belly rubs every damn second of my day.
