I like it.

You make some good points. Of course other organizations have pedophiles and have covered it up. Add Penn State to the list. But we were talking Catholic Church here until you widened the scope for some reason. Even if true shouldn't let the RC off the hook or lessen the disgust. Its just that the RC has so darn many. 200,000 in 70 years according to the @Tiberiusarticle. That's 3,000 per year in France. Not a large country. I'm glad you didn't run into any. Neither did I or my 3 brothers that also went to Jesuit. I thought the priests were swell guys too. One priest that got busted and thrown out of the priesthood I had close contact with in classes and extra circular activites. As a senior he was my piano acompnamist for my Marimba solo. We practiced together and for the District contest across town I drove him and my Marimba in my Mom's Suburban. I thought he was a great guy. I thank my lucky stars I was not his type. As far as the priests you knew, you might want to check the list: https://projects.propublica.org/credibly-accused/

First off, I can find ZERO reason to discuss the political party parishioners belong to. Especially since the same thing has happened in other countries like Germany and France that don't have Republicans or Democrats. Other people do it too so its not so bad? I would say the primary difference is when it happens in public school, the teacher gets suspended and charged in criminal court. In the RC, offenders just get sent to another parish or school to repeat the cycle. If Pope Francis is so concerned about the victims, why doesn't he sell off some of their wealth of assets and help the victims with counseling and sustenance? I'm sure he could sell off Notre Dame University for example and use all that money to help the victims. Instead, they fight it in court. I was raised in a Catholic family and went to Catholic grade school and high school. At Jesuit College Preparatory School in Dallas, 4 of the priests that were there when I was going there have been busted for p e d o p h i l i a. There were probably 25- 40 priests there tops. One of them was the principal for 40 years. I never liked being too close to him cuz he gave me the creeps. I guess I was blessed with good pediophile-dar.

This a great visual. The high and mighty man coming to the back of his mega yatch to talk to the poor schmucks in their itty bitty canoes.

Kind of defeats the purpose of being a Twitter star.

You pay someone with admin access to the DNS routing table to delete it.

Same was true in my section.

I think its more that Trump is their greatest fund raising tool since Newt Gingrich.

I the SB is in Dallas they should have Jimmy Vaughan.

Yawn. Not gonna watch it anyway. I have no desire to watch pop stars lip sync with backup dancers. I still think Weird Al would be great.

Lets not yet ahead of ourselves. Just beat Houston. That's all that matters now. That said, the table is set. We got a really good QB, a stable of quality WRs, a smart coaching staff, a money kicker, and a really good D. We just need to execute.

Life is not fair. This is something we used too all understand. So was Reagan.

I had big problems with them in August. Two weeks before my wife's birthday I ordered her a Schnowman jersey and a pair of Billy Buffalo socks. I even paid $3 extra to get it shipped earlier to be safe. As someone mentioned I got an email without a tracking number a few days later. 5 days before her birthday I called the number on the website and the woman who answered said it was NOT The Bills Store but some company that sells hockey stuff. I paniced and ordered an Edmunds jersey from Dick's Sporting Goods which did come in time. About a week after her birthday the socks arrived. About a week after that, the jersey arrived. Never again.

If we make the Super Bowl I really don't want it to be against them. If it is the refs will help Tommy like they did last year and we won't stand a chance. Protect the shield.

I have read your posts about your Mother. She had a very good son in you. I'm sorry to hear about her death. And thanks for the advice. I am going down to Texas in a couple of weeks to visit my 83 year old Mother. I will follow your advice and cherish every moment. Hang in. I know losing a parent is rough.

I'm rooting for a tie so it hurts both teams in the standings.

Whenever they don't mention a party you know its a Democrat just like when the police shoot someone and they don't mention race you know he/she was white.

It does seem like we are replacing parents with schools. I guess we have to nowadays cuz Moms (and Dads if there is one) have to work for the man. But looking at an ad for Pre K, what they do sounds an awful lot like what my Mom did for me before I got to first grade. https://www.homereadinghelper.org/what-is-pre-k/

One thing my Dad used to say about when the government gives someone money they didn't earn, what they're really telling them is "you poor SOB, you just can't make it on your own so we gotta help you, you poor slob". And the $300 per child is a great incentive to not better yourself but instead depend on the $300. When my kids were young and I had little money I read computer books at night to improve my skills to make more money to better support my kids. Had I been receiving $900 per month from the feds I'm not so sure I would have done that. Wouldn't need to. And reading the computer books at night DID help me get a better job.

I'm starting to wonder if someone has cracked the @Governor account, or someone handed him a Republican beer at Hammer's or something.

Gracias

Nope. This was pre Big Wheel era. I rode a metal tricycle while smoking and chasing tail. Try me on the science. Or maybe just a link or two. This is the first I've heard of the 2 year old thing. That's why I asked. But really, what are they gonna learn at 2-4 in school besides being nice and paste doesn't really taste that good? Help me out here.

We signed him so if Josh gets injured this year ( always a possibility with his playing style ) we'll have a real a QB we can put out there and still win games cuz we're trying to win the SB this year. I doubt very seriously that they are being "tempted".

How has it been proven to be extremely important? I wonder about this because I didn't even go to kindergarten. Started in the first grade. I got a BBA in Business Computer Information Systems and just wrapped up a 38 year in computers doing prgramming, consulting, sales, support, and installations and upgrades. What's changed?

Like the Russian election fraud in 2016 you mean?
