Go ahead and think that, but he's not bringing into account the whole picture. It would seem to me logical to assume that x number of Catholics couldn't care less, while y number of people do who are not Catholic.

It is my opinion that x~y, as long as we're pulling stats from our various orifices, and here's why:

Given the set of Catholic people, it is logical to assume that a higher percentage of people in this set care about the pope than the set of non Catholics, because they're well... Catholic. The set of non-Catholics is much larger, but a lower percentage of the people in that set care about the pope's condition, so it's not a leap to assume that x and y are somewhat equivalent, with y being larger if I had to wager a guess.

When you take into account bloated membership numbers I'm going to guess somewhere around 1 billion people is probably pretty accurate, but to claim more is pushing it in my humble opinion.

Congratulations.

Now answer this - WHAT THE HELL DOES IT MATTER???

What the hell does it matter that the sky is blue? If someone claims it's red, you'll probably get a few people correcting them, because it's just not true.

So in other words "I agree with you, Yoshi, even though I've been arguing that all this time".

Wow.

It's never a good idea to put words in someone's mouth unless it's a very accurate paraphrasing. Here, you are doing it directly. If you must do such a distasteful thing, try to be more subtle next time.

Except that after 5 pages of arguing, you are agreeing with him.

This is amazing. A four-page argument about the exact number of people who care about the pope.

Frankly, I'm surprised. Think of all the things mentioned in this thread (George Bush, 9/11, Hitler, etc.) and it hasn't gone off topic and turned into an argument about something else.

You must be confusing me with someone else.

Wow. Just wow.

Next time, if you intend to disagree with someone, first...disagree with them.

You agreed 1 billion was a fairly logical assessment of the amount of people who care about the pope, the source of this 1 billion does not matter as I have stated before that there are more people outside of catholicism that care about the pope. So in other words, you agreed with me.

Let's have an arguement on people agreeing.

The fact that people are posting at all, postive or negative, shows that they care one some level.

What's your point?

I think you lot all need to understand that just because we're agreeing it doesn't mean you're not wrong!

See, this is why people leave Massassi....

Are you kidding man?

This is some entertaining crap to read!

Exactly. This is what makes massassi interesting.

HEY HEY.

BACK TO ENTERTAINING ROB.

*cracks whip*

Okay, okay.

The Cure sucks almost as much as Freelancer does.

Now see, thats just plain untrue.

Next thing you know you'll be telling me BB king and George Clinton suck.

I submit the following. You suck.

HA!

Look, I'll even make an equation, for proof that my argument that is FACTUAL.


You = suck

HA. SEE. I WIN.

MATH DOESN'T LIE.

Okay, okay...

Freelancer sucks almost as much as Rob AND The Cure.

I already proved WITH MATH that you suck.

That means your opinion is MATHMATICALLY INVALID.

ALL THAT IS NOT MATHMATICALLY VALID ISN'T POSSIBLE FOO!

Therefore your opinion carries no weight what so ever.
