The Connecticut Catholic bishops have issued a dire warning to the faithful that a proposal to lift the statute of limitations for victims of Church abuse to sue would threaten their very religion, putting “all Church institutions, including your parish, at risk,” .
The Bishops warned that the right to sue “would undermine the mission of the Catholic Church in Connecticut, threatening our parishes, our schools, and our Catholic Charities.”
Under current Connecticut law, sexual abuse victims have 30 years past their 18th birthday to sue the Church.
The bill has some novel provisions. For example, anyone older than 48 who makes a sex abuse claim against the church would need to join an existing claim filed by someone 48 or younger. Older claimants would need to show substantial proof that they were abused. That itself raises some questions about the disparate treatment given victims. I have never seen such a provision in legislation.

And Byron, I don’t speak latin, so go back to the English to Latin dictionary where you concocted that, and reprint it in the language we are speaking.
Thanks.
As I stated he would, when my actual positions, the ones he kept denying ever existed were shoved in his face
First of all there is only one position that he likes and he definitely doesn’t like anything shoved in his face, you have to be gentle 🙂
I’ll respond on this thread tomorrow (you don’t get another post tonight). If you want take your ball and go home, that’s fine, but if you want to continue the discussion after my response, I’ll be happy to do that.
**************************
Again, go blow yourself.
Take my ball and go home….what is that?
We are talking about positions I made THREE DAYS AGO liar.
So stop lying and pretending that I’m demanding some sort of “instant gratification”.
The fact is you couldn’t handle them three days ago and you can’t handle them now.
If you had something to say about them, you’d have said it three days ago when they were given to you.

goneville,
I am sincere about discussing things – that’s why I tried to build a foundation for discussing them. I’m sorry that you need such instant gratification,
*****************************************************
Instant?
You call waiting for you to acknowledge my comments for THREE days “instant”?
Go blow yourself. And take your opinions with you.
goneville:
“Ad secundum dicendum, quod illud quod est perfectum in se, non unitur alteri ad acquirendum aliquam perfectionem, sed ad communicandum: et sic Deus homini uniri voluit non propter se, quia non habet quo crescat eius perfectio, set propter hominem cui subveniendum erat. Ad tertium sic enim sicut etiam Deus est in omnibus per essentiam, praesentiam et potentiam, suam bonitatem in omnibus diffundendo; ex quo tamen nichil sibi accrescit.”
Do you agree?
goneville,
I am sincere about discussing things – that’s why I tried to build a foundation for discussing them. I’m sorry that you need such instant gratification, but to me serious discussion needs more time. I’m currently involved in a discussion on another thread that has gone on for FOUR MONTHS with 1,459 posts of which 500 are mine (the largest of which are longer than everything I’ve written here combined) – I haven’t been able to respond to a post over there (which levels a much more serious and substantial attack against me than you have) for the last 2 days because I was responding to you. So now I’m giving you a time out – I’ll respond on this thread tomorrow (you don’t get another post tonight). If you want take your ball and go home, that’s fine, but if you want to continue the discussion after my response, I’ll be happy to do that.

goneville,
I don’t post for an hour and a half and I’m ducking you? I’ll post a reply to the comments that you’ve made (up until now) and then move on to other things for the night (and then I’ll be back tomorrow afternoon). Sorry you’re not the center of my life.
***************************
Oh I’m sorry. When you demand I repost my positions for the 100th time, and then disappear when I do, yes. You’re ducking me.
You’ve been ducking me for three days.
Each time I present a position you don’t want to confront, you disappear, then reappear with some self gratuitous multi page book that ignores my comments and evades a simple, honest one on one discussion.
And you know what the really pathetic part of your diversionary nonsense is?
I had MORE to discuss with you and Gyge. More concepts and logic to introduce because initially you guys seemed sincere like you really did want to honestly discuss it.
But you’re so dead set on proving yourself right and me wrong, (as if there could be a right or wrong answer to something that cannot be proven) and belittling me to act like a big shot in front of your friends, that I never got the chance to introduce any of it.
NONE of it.
Because it took 3 days just to get you to actually address the two simple concepts that I had already posed.
So yes. This blows. This blows major chunks and you can bet your pretty PHD that I’m whining. Because if you had just addressed my comments and discussed them with me honestly rather than taking 3 days to getting around to even acknowledging that they even existed then we could have discussed further logical concepts that I planned on introducing to the discussion. I thought you were seriously interested.
But given its taken your superior intellect, PHD and all, three days to get around to even acknowledging the existence of the first two points I made, that horse has unfortunately left the barn.
You never did seem to want to discuss any of my points.
You seem to just want to prove your own beliefs, and declare anyone who doesn’t agree with them, stupid.
So again, don’t bother.
If you can’t after three days of demands and three days of dodging my points, just address them when they’re re-printed again for you in a plain, straight forward way, without writing a BOOK, then don’t bother.
If you can’t show me the courtesy of just “talking to me” instead of disappearing each time I make a point to write a book, then go have your discussion somewhere else.
YOU’RE the one asking me to re-print my positions. OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
So DEAL with them. I just did. If you can’t, then go away. Go do something else, go find someone else to belittle but don’t climb back on your high horse with me and pretend that I’m being demanding by expecting you to be able to carry on a simple discussion.
YOU asked me to reprint it. I didn’t have to, but I did. REPEATEDLY.
Now deal with it or don’t.
I don’t want another one of your carefully crafted books designed to conceal any actual addressing of my opinions.
I don’t need another lecture on how ignorant I am.
Just talk to me if you’re able, and if you’re not then don’t bother.
goneville,
I don’t post for an hour and a half and I’m ducking you? I’ll post a reply to the comments that you’ve made (up until now) and then move on to other things for the night (and then I’ll be back tomorrow afternoon). Sorry you’re not the center of my life.
Bdaman,
You forget that Byron’s been involved in this threesome from the start. If you want to talk about it (you know what IT is) there’s only one thing to do – hijack THIS thread.
Bdaman 1, April 14, 2010 at 8:03 pm
Dr.Slarti is all mine now and you can never have him back. If you haven’t noticed we are on another thread. We are very happy together and want you out of our lives. Please leave us alone.
*******************************
No problem.
As I stated he would, when my actual positions, the ones he kept denying ever existed were shoved in his face, proving he’s been dodging them for 3 days, ..he scurries off.
Like a weasel caught in a cars headlights.
Dr. Slarti and I were just discussing a topic and your more than welcome to join us 🙂
Byron 1, April 14, 2010 at 8:03 pm
goneville:
I knew you didnt say that, I was just joking around. It was quite apparent that Bdaman said it, it is written right above.
***************************************
No. You were just playing rodeo clown with your pal bdaman, trying to get me to defend myself against another false accusation and distract from the fact that after all your whining, neither you nor Slarti can address them.
Which is why we’re talking about this, instead of the positions you both have been dodging for 3 days.
Bdaman:
you and Slarti involved in a Bromance? Platonic only I will assume.
Dr.Slarti is all mine now and you can never have him back. If you haven’t noticed we are on another thread. We are very happy together and want you out of our lives. Please leave us alone.
goneville:
I knew you didnt say that, I was just joking around. It was quite apparent that Bdaman said it, it is written right above.
Bdaman:
that wasnt very nice 🙂
Note the silence once my actual positions are reprinted?
Not the superior intellect Slarti is suddenly not so talkative?
Suddenly he doesn’t seem interested in heralding his PHD, or superior intellect.
Instead, we have the clean up crew.
His two friends, Bdaman and Byron who apparently are either the same person, or work as a team to come in and play rodeo clowns so Slarti can limp off the field.
I didn’t say what Bdaman said Byron.
Oh but you wanted to and I suspect that you and some of the people reading think that Byron is arrogant, condescending, pedantic, dry, pompous, overly verbose, boring, professorial and many other things. So don’t tell me you didn’t want to.
Clearly you are a liar Byron, and now I have no problem calling you one.
I didn’t say what Bdaman said Byron.
Also, thanks for completely ignoring my positions, AGAIN, and trying to move the posts on down the field.
Is lying and diversion all you do?
Bdaman:
thanks for pointing out goneville’s perjoritive:
gonesville:
“So you can stick your two bits worth about what someone else meant or said or did, back up your butt where they belong.
Let Slarti defend his own comments and you worry about yours asshole.”
that wasnt very nice.
