Meanwhile you start a UK vs. US spelling debate? Please, now that is the new Godwin's Law.
It had nothing to do with a UK v US spelling - pedo means foot to me (as in pedometer), but that's probably prevalent with me being a Talipes sufferer. And it would be a greek spelling debate if you want to get technical because pedo is derived from greek in both of those cases.

And yes, it is "pedo"
I bow to your expertise on the terminology. The reason I don't think it's a topic for the lounge is that it's a one that can quickly degenerate beyond what is acceptable here. The soapbox is the perfect place for us to riff on these priests, not the lounge. And I stand by my main point that it has absolutely sod all to do with the topic at hand.

Agreed. Perhaps you're right that such topic belong in the SB.

You can't let it go? It is just another UK vs. US spelling debate. You're wrong anyways, ped means child in Greek, as in pediatrician. pedo means ground or soil in Greek (not the root of what we are talking about). ped as in foot comes from Latin ped, for foot.

Okay... so where the priests molesting feet? My stars, that whole thing is sicker than I imagined.
And as I spent 10 years regularly visiting pediatric doctors, you can see that I'm traumatised.

Are you sure they weren't foot whores? You're a filthy, filthy man.
Given that I was having operations to have my feet straightened, I find that in a little bad taste.

Does this straightening start out by taking ones foot out of ones mouth? :P :ducksforcover:

No. It involves removing it from the arse of people who think they're funny. ;P

Errm, no it's not. There was absolutely sod all to do with religion in the verdict, the article or even the case itself. By all means, trash peado (not pedo - that's to do with feet) priests in the Soapbox, but keep the lounge free from it.

Close enough Pete! If you could only get close enough to that destination you mentioned. I mean on your feet! :P (I'll forfeit any responses from here on as I feel that I've already taken this too far. So many ill meaning retorts unsaid . . have to refrain . . must cope with failing to not appearing to be complete bunghole) :)

"Six Italian scientists and an ex-government official have been sentenced to six years in prison over the 2009 deadly earthquake in L'Aquila. A regional court found them guilty of multiple manslaughter" :wtf: They should have put to trial all the engineers and building contractor who did not do their jobs of designing and building that can withstand earthquakes. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-20025626[^]
Nihil obstat
Japan should jail the entire met office then? Even with the enormous amount of effort put into earthquake research, we still can't predict it. Rather than putting these brains into jail, it would be much more beneficial for them to double their efforts to improve earthquake prediction technologies. On the flip side, in Japan we have the national broadcaster running emergency earthquake reports with rather flustered news anchors repeating like a parrot that there is a possibility of tsunami at the slightest of tremors. Good effort, but as we know, the biggest tsunami we've had since the 3-11 is like 50cm or something. I worry people are going to get too used to this kind of thing and still fail to evacuate when the real thing strikes.
Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike... me...
