Umm, Homosexuality != Pedophilia. They are two VERY different things. Congratulations on being the most offensive and absurd poster in this entire thread.
Where are the criminal trials for this criminal issue?
You must live in the bubble provided by television news. They're all over the place.
The saddest part of this whole debacle is that common catholics and even victims appear to be closing ranks and showing a tendency to want to treat this as "an internal matter" because their leaders have brainwashed them to believe in a global anti-catholic conspiracy that will try to use this issue to destroy their church.
Not a single catholic I know--I'll spitball and call that 300 people, but fuck if I know exactly how many I know.
The vast majority of the cases you are hearing about in the news exceed the statute of limitations in the relevant jurisdictions--in short, there is nothing to be done (from the District Attorney's perspective I mean) 30 years after an alleged abuse. Those are the cases where the coverup is most infuriating--the cover up is the reason those cases weren't prosecuted then, and never will be.
Unfortunately there's a lot of people (officers) out there who hold friendships higher then their sworn duty.
Translation: There are a lot of dirty cops.
Thanks for clearing that up for us.
I'm sorry if it's HARD to do your job, but then you shouldn't take the fucking job--especially when that job is a sworn duty essential to the proper functioning of civilization.
I could probably get similar result by changing any constant in a persons environment.
Probably depends on the person. I've been all kinds of screwy since we rearranged the furniture two weeks back. Slowly adjusting. No one else seems to be bothered by it though.
Please, everyone knows that all those HR pukes got their MBAs by doing a kegstand. Hiring managers bitching about facebook pictures are the biggest bunch of hypocrites (or prudes I suppose, either way they should fuck right off).
Edit: Although, I suppose I could understand reacting to posts to the tune of "Gawd, Company X sucks so hard..." when the applicant is applying to Company X.
No it isn't. Degenerate gamblers will gamble no matter what the legal status of gambling is. The only people affected by this would be regular, healthy gamblers.
And considering recent events on Wall Street, gambling houses actually give you a fairer deal.
QFT, at least in Nevada. For casino floor games to be certified by the state they have to more or less gaurantee their odds--you know exactly what you're getting at craps, slot machines, video poker, or blackjack. Hell, the electronic gambling machines have stricter standards than electronic voting machines.
The lights are still on in Vegas. And Atlantic City. And a whole lot of Indian Reservations. I'd say not much, because in-person gambling in those places is RESORT gambling.
No, you missed the point (that better not become a meme). If "Elementary Elementary" is NOT used as an answer to the security question "Which elementary school you went to?", its irrelevant that someone finds out which elementary school you went to.
The point is you give fake random answers to the security questions, so if someone finds out the real answers, they still can't get past them.
I was being cheeky, but my primary complaint with alarmists is that they are alarmists.
This was not science in action--this was a bureaucratic error by the IPCC in including "data" from a non-scientific source (and then misciting even that in the summary of their report, though the report had the correct number).
There was no science in the initial production of that number so its hard to call this science in action--rather politics in action, though you're right that it was corrected by other climatologists.
This goes back to another comment I made about climate research being politics not science--I'm criticizing both sides, deniers and alarmists. The constant politicking is destructive, and pointless.

Have you seen the new history curricula in American schools?
Has a SINGLE priest spent a single day in a jail cell over this?
Yes. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=priest+sentenced+abuse

2) The people responsible for the cover-ups by the church are made to resign when caught, those in government get away with it.
No they aren't. This is why Mahoney is STILL head of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
They STILL have an army (though its pretty much just ceremonial): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Guard#Pontifical_Swiss_Guard
Well, not about THAT anyway...
You do not now, nor have you ever, derived pleasure by breathing.
You just aren't breathing the right stuff.

Why don't you try living in a desolate Christian-dominated shit-town full of paranoid war vets and DHS goons?
I DO live in one. I still have better convos at the bar than I do here.
Telling them not to tag you however, goes over just fine.

Look at alcohol, the gov't taxes the hell out of it because it was illegal and they did us the favor of legalizing it for the taxes
You might want to crack open a history book sometime. Alcohol was taxed LONG before Prohibition.
The lights are still on in Vegas. And Atlantic City. And a whole lot of Indian Reservations. I'd say not much, because in-person gambling in those places is RESORT gambling.
Really, that's what you think they're going to spend it on? Just like with tobacco taxes, right?
Not to mention they only landed as part of a kidnap/slaving run. It was a bizarre premise.
Albuquerque?
Where the towels are oh so fluffy?
Your entire post is a non-sequitur. Bait and switch is still illegal, and immoral.
Utterly, utterly wrong.
The US Constitution is an enumerative document--if it does not EXPLICITLY state the government can do something, the government cannot do it.
Of course, in practice this means bupkiss because the government is more than happy to wipe its ass with the constitution at this point.
Yes there is, and I just did it.

One of the defining features of arm-chair socialists is that they think that.
