One: You really don't know who Dan Savage is?! Razz

Two: You really don't know how to recognize a sarcastic statement without emoticons?! Surprised

Three: You've been living under a massive 100 ton boulder and haven't heard about the constant decades-long epidemic of Catholic Church sex abuse scandals highly publicized in every major newspaper across the globe for years and years?! Embarrassed
