What's more interesting is the desire to plaster them all over the web for people to look at when there is absolutely no need to do so.<BR/><BR/>As for the copyright, I'm quite certain that it pertains to the emoticon and not to the text of the post, and for two reasons. First, the Catholic Forum already claims copyright for posted material--there is no need to put the symbol at the end of each post. Second, the copyright has a little arrow in front of it pointing right at the emoticon: "<--". It couldn't be clearer, really.Vitae Scrutatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808120163472036743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14247942.post-1137282889458266272006-01-14T18:54:00.000-05:002006-01-14T18:54:00.000-05:00Ah yes, listening to bad music.

There's way too much bad music.<BR/><BR/>My personal favorite though -- playing Dungeons and Dragons is a venial sin.<BR/><BR/>Hah!jennstallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04047149098228657184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14247942.post-1137162596570493772006-01-13T09:29:00.000-05:002006-01-13T09:29:00.000-05:00wayward--I think I have seen that examen--doesn't ...wayward--<BR/><BR/>I think I have seen that examen--doesn't he say that "listening to bad music" is a sin? I can't remember if it's venial or mortal, but if he's thinking of the stuff by Marty Haugen then I know what he means.Vitae Scrutatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808120163472036743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14247942.post-1137161895944212202006-01-13T09:18:00.000-05:002006-01-13T09:18:00.000-05:00I think he is kinda nutty, but not dangerously so....<I>I think he is kinda nutty, but not dangerously so.</I><BR/><BR/>Sometimes the simplest explanation is the one to go with.<BR/><BR/>In inexpert but dogmatic answer to Scott's question, no court would recognize a copyright on a string of seven punctuation marks. <BR/><BR/>Do you remember the stink raised when <A HREF="http://www.despair.com/" REL="nofollow">Despair, Inc.</A>, which sells demotivational posters and caldendars, announced that it was trademarking the <A HREF="http://www.despair.com/demotivators/acompromise.html" REL="nofollow">frownie</A>?Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14850575419673561383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14247942.post-1137121325914280302006-01-12T22:02:00.000-05:002006-01-12T22:02:00.000-05:00Oh Father Z!

Of course, if I were ordained by the Pope I'd want to make sure everyone saw a photo of it as well. Have you ever seen his Examination of Conscience for Confession? It really makes me shake my head just how many things are on it that I would never consider even a venial sin. He blows my mind.jennstallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04047149098228657184noreply@blogger.com
