Is this the future we want to create? Will they move on to demand seprate towns within cities?

As in so many areas of American life, the preposterous is now normal

Aint that the truth.

Maybe it is.

I think the people that are getting all pissy about this should just move to Ave Maria, Florida.

A FORMER marine who was raised by nuns and made a fortune selling pizza has embarked on a £230m plan to build the first town in America to be run according to strict Catholic principles.

Abortions, pornography and contraceptives will be banned in the new Florida town of Ave Maria, which has begun to take shape on former vegetable farms 90 miles northwest of Miami.


Tom Monaghan, the founder of the Domino’s Pizza chain, has stirred protests from civil rights activists by declaring that Ave Maria’s pharmacies will not be allowed to sell condoms or birth control pills. The town’s cable television network will carry no X-rated channels.


The town will be centred around a 100ft tall oratory and the first Catholic university to be built in America for 40 years. The university’s president, Nicholas J Healy, has said future students should “help rebuild the city of God” in a country suffering from “catastrophic cultural collapse”.

"Help rebuild the city of God" ? Well what happens when "God" launches a Cat 5 hurricane and destroys it? They didn't exactly choose a good area to build it

Gomer must favor self-centeredness. Big surprise eh?

[Chuckiechan]

The point is that the higher education system has hyjacked America. Now you don't dare call yourself an "American" you have to be "something else" while you suck up the advantages of a free society unique to America.

And everyone of these special "commencement ceremonies" are racist. If you are white, try getting into a "La Raza" commencement. "La Raza" means "the race", BTW - try that title if you are white and see what happens.

[Gomer]

I might not be able to participate... But I am sure they would welcome my attendance at the event.

[jokostel]

I don't think they have a chair labeled:
"self-centered righteous bastard (d)"

[Gomer]

Righteous, maybe. Bastard, sure! But self-centered?

[surreal]

Some students are presumably eligible for four or five graduations. A gay student with a Native American father and a Filipino mother could attend the Asian, Filipino, and American Indian ceremonies, plus the mainstream graduation and the Lavender Graduation for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered students.

Desperate to somehow get this into a thread without creating a new thread gomer hits 'em with this left jab

On the same venue, surreal returns the gesture with a quick sucker punch from the right!

Don't forget about Celebration Florida. Built on the principles of founding father Walt Disney!

[Chuckiechan]

That would be a great place to raise kids, if you are Catholic.
