I know many Catholics (other than myself) that have that same ideology. Which is funny, because some of it contradicts the Catholic faith.
But anyways, the statements those highschoolers make me furious. As a Catholic, I am embarrassed that they would make such ridiculous comments.

I hate this stereotype. How is the world ever going to rid itself of poverty if we take on this mentality?

| "Gay people just want to force their gayness on all of us. They shouldn't be allowed to kiss or hug or hold hands in public, it's just disgusting." |
Well, unless it's a simple, chaste kiss, I really don't like watching ANYe making out in public, heterosexual or whatnot. Still, its their own life, and everyone has the right to do whatever they want (within legal boundaries, of course). So if someone wants to kiss, I'll just look the other way.

Well, I do believe that if women want men to respect them, they should dress more modestly. Unless we respect ourselves, how can we expect men to respect us? ... Still, rape, no matter which way you slice it, is wrong. This woman shouldn't be judged or condemned, and a rapists actions are NEVER justified.

As a Catholic, this ticks me off. The bible can be a great source of wisdom, and in fact, can be interesting to read. Not to mention that in the Catholic faith, the Bible is very important!

I know I have felt angry enough to break down into tears before. People need to be more sensitive!

Shame on them for arresting lawbreakers. Seriously, we should just get rid of them.
Some people need to grow up.

| "Homosexuality is unnatural. It's a disease. There's something wrong with their brain, I know there a clinics where you can be treated for it. So I don't see why we have to put up with them." |
"Love one another as I have loved you." It's funny, cuz JESUS said that. What are these kids learning at this Catholic school anyways?
Quote:
| "We shouldn't be taught to respect other religions. This is a Catholic school!" |
See above. And besides, respect goes both ways. If Catholics expect respect, they should give it in return!

| "Chinese people get their names from banging on pipes and hearing what sound it makes" |
...Well, now this is just idiotic.
Quote:
| "You're so stupid. Stop acting like such a Jew!" |
...Again, simply idiotic.

| "I think sometimes people just deserve to die. I mean nowadays most of the people in prison want to be in there because its so comfortable, and so they're committing crimes to get in. If they used the death penalty crime rates would drop." |
Funny, I didn't realize it was our job to impose judgement on others. Killing someone doesn't justify anything - we can do our part and keep them locked up. Other than that, let God judge.
I'm sorry that this post is so long winded, but this kind of stuff just irritates me! I wish they would be just a little more respectful!
