An acquaintance of mine got arrested for shoplifting in Holland [he opened some water and drank it as he was shopping, they don't allow that and see it as shoplifting there]. As he was being taken away he protested "you can't arrest me, I'm an AMERICAN, a citizen of the free world!"
He wasn't a character from South park called, 'Randy' was he?
Do these americans believe in Nuns, and the 'calling'. I heard a story from a colleague at work who said that someone she knew (with a family, husband, pretty well paid job), got the 'calling' to go and be a nun and gave it all up...
Now, why doesnt god just call to all the G W Bush's and Muammar Ghaddaffis of the world and say, 'just stop what you are doing'. Or to all the muslims and say, 'listen guys you chose the wrong path here, repent, rescind and you can be saved'.
Afterall, what good would calling to be a nun be? How many do they really help? As far as i know they go into a convent, isolate themselves and just pray. SO why would god make people do this and give up their family etc instead of targetting the trouble makers in the world?!
IT MAKES NO SENSE!
and going by all this justification of the yankees, well 9/11 might well have been retribution from god then? and Mt St Helens? well god was pretty upset with america right there.
God must also have been upset in 1935 when he sent the hurricane to the keys...

Or is it just an unforseen natural distaster?!
