Debate from a suitably objective stand point with significant enough distance to make a reasonable well considered argument on the act of child molestation between a member of the Catholic Priesthood and a teenagers.

Quote

If you go back 10 or 15 years ago with different sexual difficulties — except for rape or violence — it was very rarely brought as a civil crime.

Quote

It's been close to decade since an investigation into clergy sex abuse cases by The Boston Globe unearthed a shocking scandal and cover-up that rocked the foundations of the Catholic Church in the U.S. and around the world.

Until people started getting called out on raping kids barely anyone called them out on raping kids!

What a perfect ass. I actually bothered to listen to the linked audio ( http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-county/bal-audio-hearing-before-judge-bruce-lamdin-20120905,0,2159417.mp3file ) and this is a guy who, since he's a judge, has not had people slap him like they frankly should. He seems utterly convinced that a pretty open & shut domestic abuse case is totally a case of a mooching wife who is either lying or is okay with the abuse (as evidenced by the fact she stayed with her husband some time) and why don't you just go live in a shelter and stop harassing your fine husband and trying to get me to do something, as if that will change your life, which haha it can't. It's especially stupid because this is a forward-looking hearing - even if hypothetically she should have left him soon, she's trying to do it now, you ass, so why are you raking her over the coals and trying to use this as evidence that things clearly aren't all that bad or that the problems are her fault.

"You allow money to control your better judgment, because it's the easy way out."

"That's not it at all!"

"Then why would you go back then?"

"Because I was in school -"

"You didn't have any money and went back and lived with him because he was paying the bills!"

"He doesn't pay all the -"

"Then why'd you go back?"

(snip tearful explanation where she points out that she still feels sorry for her husband, that he has brain damage and PTD, was hoping things would get better, etc.)

"Ma'am, I'm trying not to be the least bit disrespectful to you, but you have to listen to yourself. If you choose to put yourself in this position in this relationship - for whatever reason - you choose to do it! Now you're asking me to put the gentleman out of his house and you think this piece of paper is some - catch-all, be-all."

(more snip)

"Out of his house? Isn't it our house? I'm his wife?"

"It's his house."

"That's not what the police said."

"Ma'am I don't care what the police said. The police don't control me."

"You're troubling yourself. Because you're uninformed."

"The problem is - I have to apply the FACTS."

That's a goddamn lot of penis dangling.

Seriously. It seems as if the facts aren't in question, so why the judge would even be reluctant to grant a restraining order is beyond me.

This particular argument against gay rights/(bisexual rights in this case) has always irked me so much. There is an ocean of difference between TWO ADULTS HAVING SEX WITH CONSENT and adults having sex with animals and children. This is such a strawman and I have heard this idiotic argument entirely too much both IRL and online.

Also nicely segues into inane rape analogy.

The way he phrased it, he almost sounds hopeful.

"What's next? Pedophile Pride Day? Bestiality Pride Day? Lemme mark my calendar..." Kindly fuck off, Bryan Fischer~

I'm just kinda assuming he's some kind of clergyman, as spending any extra time learning about him is already on my "Never gonna waste time on this" List.

Unfortunately I didn't feel like digging up the exact local Boston station so I used what was handy.

I like how this question (#20) is common enough that they put a specific answer in the FAQ. Between keeping an iceberg cool and actually digging it out and hauling it to the equator... and it would probably be a disaster even if it wasn't stupidly expensive and time-consuming to pull off. The article itself is pretty cool if you are interested in climate studies, but this question just made me burst into laughter when I read it.

Hey, our local Fox affiliate is no more or less racist than everyone else's.

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #222 on:** October 26, 2012, 11:27:42 AM »

I never understood how FF11 has a player base. Those people's lives must be so pathetically empty even by the standards of people who still like final fantasy if that is their idea of fun.

Also: they post on MMO-Champ, of course they are stupid. That place is like a u-trap.
