with the Pope on his way there tomorrow.  I was told by a dear friend they are saying keep
cars at home and use the subway.  Even still....it will be a mess and I am glad I am not
coming up there now to deal with all of that.

..and you clearly know nothing about it Very easy to avoid the Pope and "the mess".

Exactly.  And it's a disrespectful post as well.  Let's put hobbying into perspective.  The city is receiving a visit from Pope Francis.  We can be inconvenienced regarding this and other activities for a couple days.  Very disrespectful post as it is written, and kind of sad as well.

and I am happy to hear that..

Let me clarify....

With the Pope, POTUS, and probably half of the world's Heads of State converging at the UN this week, it seems like a great time to escape from Dodge, and I have planned accordingly.  While the rest of you have to deal with the impending traffic and security nightmares, not to mention sky high hotel rates, I'll be chilling in Florida.  Have fun, everybody...I know I will be!  

Now lets see if this moron is still confused about disrespectful..

New Yorkers are used to dealing with dignitaries, both foreign and domestic, causing traffic.  It won't put even the slightest dent in getting around for most of us.  

Have fun soaking up the sun!  I hope your trip is smashing!  Travel well!  Love, AAT

No one's getting laid because they are all stuck in traffic.  

Your alias says it all. You are clearly confused. Learning english and nuance would be a start. In no way did she act with disrespect. The city will be chaotic late this week, not only because of the pope's visit, but also due to the onset of the UN General Assembly. If you value religious freedom, you also need to pay due diligence to the free exercise clause. However you misconstrued her post, she is as protected by the First Amendment as you are.

It must make for better business for escorts with all the diplomats in town, all the people hanging out in the city later to avoid traffic, etc.  So, the working gals on the board must be happy the world is coming to NYC.

And you feel yourself superior to anyone? Would the Afghan dancing boys be safe around you?

Does the POPE get laid?!!

So yes that puts me on a LOT higher moral ground than anyone representing the Catholic Church. Afghan dancing "boys" have nothing to worry about from me, but can you say the same thing about being safe from Catholic priests?  Now Afghan dancing "women" might be a different matter, but I don't do children of either sex, nor do I condone spending billions to cover it up.

It doesn't make them right either.

During the part where we add the intentions deepest in our hearts, I asked this:

during our Papal Mass in DC: Lord, in the past, you have tested me by putting in my path hot hookers with whom I desire to fornicate. I have prayed for relief.

Re: Good Catholics don't fornicate with hookers

Stay classy Julie!

The Catholic church spent BILLIONS of dollars covering up the rapes of THOUSANDS of children. FACT

It's not nearly as bad as all that. His visit also happens to coincide with the UN General Assembly, which is happening in generally the same area of town. There are frequently street closures and rerouting in Manhattan though. We have road races, holiday parades, presidential visits.... The pope coming to America is a big deal. I think it's this pope's first visit. As for the traffic & security, it's just par for the course living in a city where big events happen regularly.

with you ... the blind?

If you could cite some legit stats re the "thousands" and "millions" and "billions" [I feel like I'm responding to Carl Sagan], then I might be able to help you out.

Everything was well managed during the DC stint. Hope all works out in NYC.

You might think of the pope as some paragon of virtue, but that's not an opinion of him shared by everyone, and certainly not my view of him at all.
