Subsidiarity is written into Canon Law. The higher you go, the less power you HAVE. The lay person has more power over the domain of his house (or even her house) than the parish priest has over his parish, the parish priest has more power over his congregation than the Bishop has over all the priests combined, Archbishops have even less power over their subject Bishops, and are practically autonomous from the Vatican itself. The Least Competent Authority is a real concept in the Roman Catholic Church- and holds sway.

Most of the heretics are hypocrites. Especially entertaining are the ones who claim "Nobody will be harmed by innovation x" who the proceed to harm people with innovation x.

QBASIC is a later version as well, and is not equal to ANSI standard basic.

Basic != Visual Basic

The correct way, in classic basic, to designate type was with a suffix- such as "A$" for a string variable named a and "I%" for a loop variable of type integer. DIM was short for "dimension" and was only used for arrays.

Now get off my interpreter, you young whippersnapper.

Goto. Just don't.

I am informed by the people I interview with that algorithms are called patterns now, just like the Common Gateway Interface became REpresentful State Transfer. The only way to stay employed past 40 is to keep up on the jargon.

See, that's what drives me crazy about alternate operating systems. Why would you paste to mark a block?

Sounds like a good reason to stay away from Linux and ARM

When faced with an army, I am very much against the concept of self defense. Cooperation is far more prudent.

The difference between a honest upstanding citizen who happens to be black, and the victim of a cop up on charges for murder, is how they react when faced with a gun. Those who choose fight or flight over cooperation in a police state, end up dead.

That explains a lot about your philosophy. Charitable Interpretation + Academic Freedom = Chaotic Heresy, every time.

You read the history of the Church, but you missed the history of the gay civil rights struggle from 1966-2004?

We expect the leadership of the Church to be sinners, is the difference.

Yes, they should. Completely agree with you there. Especially the Jesuits.
