Rate your Priest! - 08/03/11 02:49 PM


BERLIN (Reuters) - You can rate your restaurant meal, your make-up, your teacher online and now in Germany your priest.

Hirtenbarometer (http://hirtenbarometer.de) or the "shepherds' barometer" is the first online platform where priests can be rated for their performance at church services, on projects for youths and the elderly, on their credibility and on how up to date they are.

Some of the areas of Germany are overwhelmingly Catholic. Places like Regensburg, Augsburn, Wurzburg and Trier.

Sign of the times I guess. The internet isn't fair and balanced. There is no equal time for the priests. I hope they get a fair shake from the sheep.

So, in the other thread (since you now derailed your own thread), you asking what the Tea Party says about conservatives because someone called them the Republican's Hezbollah was meant to ask what?

Are you in support of the tea party? I knew it all along.

Re: Rate your Priest! - 08/03/11 04:25 PM

Do you have to perform or participate in something to know about it? You weren't alive for World War I, so therefore, no way you can know who fought during that war? Or can you read about something without actually being there to find out what happened?

Feel free to answer with a smiley face and leave it at that.

What is your point? Could you please explain this post. This was your thread that you derailed. You used ad hominem to describe the Tea Party in another thread. I fail to see what you are trying to equate..... or should I say equivocate?

Re: Rate your Priest! - 08/03/11 05:33 PM

ad hominem attack - a logical fallacy that involves a personal attack.

ad hominem (Latin: "to the man"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is an attempt to link the truth of a claim to a negative characteristic or belief of the person advocating it.

Ad hominem is appealing to the personal opinions, prejudices, and emotions instead of reason.

If it helps, I prefer Pat Priest to either Judas Priest or Maxi Priest.
