Yeah...I’m not particularly interested in what the side of the cult says...but thanks. This is definitely not something I would see worthy of “hearing both sides” JWs have a long history of cult like behavior. No different from scientologists or LDS. But I don't doubt you sleep better living in denial.

Remember that writer who reportedly faked cancer and pretended to have an English accent?

it’s basically like being amish but you get to drive a car and have light switches. you “fuck up” and your friends in the church disown you. it’s supposed to be family too but they get a free pass so i’ve seen some families just deal with it as well as some who completely fracture and are ruined. because of jw’s i’ve…

Non-apology apology for being ‘musinderstood’ or ‘taken out of context’ in 3,2,1....

Right? “His sexual needs were his sexual needs.” I can’t even wrap my head around how a person can just say that when the “need” in question is sex with children. Children’s needs—safety, not being raped, not having a trusted adult manipulate and abuse them—greatly outweigh whatever sexual needs Jackson had.

You know, shutting the fuck up is always free, Barb.

But it doesn’t sound like she doesn’t believe Jackson’s a child molester, it sounds like she thinks Jackson should get a pass because they got to be in his presence and Jackson as much a victim as them because... the parents?

She’s talking about it like it’s just some weird fetish. I just wish the interviewer would…

I’m honestly not too surprised over Streisand’s comments. She, like my parents, probably believe that all rapists hide in dark alleys at night and strike at random and all pedophiles are complete strangers who wear trenchcoats and sniff bicycle seats. A sexual predator is never someone you know, but if it is, then…

Welp. That's it then. The worst take I've read on child sexual abuse.

“CONCIERGE CARE IS A SOLUTION OF THE RICH.”

On Good Terms with them? Offer to split the bill and cancel yours. WIN, WIN!

I may be interpreting the data wrong as since they’re tied, they’re possibly included together. It does list as “Puerto Rico (US)“ so maybe they mean included?

As long as the GOP depends on poor people voting against their best interests to win elections, the public education system is going to decay and decay.

Oh well then that’ll be $2500.  Your welcome by the way geez

Ask them how their health care is. You won’t like the answer.

And getting the rich to, you know Pay Their Fucking Share, would go a long way toward all that shit.

Not only is it not “far higher,” but since their taxes cover stuff like all their healthcare and education, they pay far, far less for those things in the long run.

That’ll be $3,200

Their taxes are not far higher than ours. Aggregate all taxes, fed, state, local, add usage fees, licenses, fuel taxes, etc. You’ll be amazed at how close we actually are. But, we have $22T in debt to service, and military spending that exceeds the next 11 nations combined. So there’s that.
