Thank you, and touche.

You have free speech!? Where? All I got is this lousy freedom of speech.

Back ot: I know we make fun of this, but honestly, it's a pretty good idea.

Nice to see that at least someone else agrees with me here

what your religion changes rules every month......that's strange

Hey now, is it really that bad that they're trying to get people to behave when they're driving?


I am entirely serious.

Driving has nothing to do with your faith, and you won't find these new commandments they decided to create within the bible. Therefore I believe some actually have a good point that the church is trying to tell you how to live your life (and changes the rules when it feels like it.) If your a catholic, thats fine, go follow your Bible, but don't listen to stupid vatican leaders who use the meaning of the Bible for their own benefit or modify their religion the way they see fit.

What? That is not whats going on. It was just a catchy title they used to get people's attention. All they are saying is to exercise patience, prudence and charity towards other drivers and to avoid such vices as rage and what not. All concepts found in the bible already, they are just applying it to a modern day problem. Chill.

so basically, their telling you to do things you should of already been doing? Provided these concepts actually are within the bible, that means the Vatican is just wasting its time telling everyone something they should already know provided they are religious.

Well people aren't perfect and its nice to have a reminder every once and awhile to keep us on track.

I don't suppose there is anything wrong with providing helpful advice, but it just seems to me that the Church treats it's members as if they are children. Do you really need to be told by the Church that getting pissed off and flying into a rage while driving is counter-productive? If the Church hadn't issued this statement, would you live your life any differently?
