People who are drawn to the vulnerable will work with that population in a position of power. They didn’t abuse children because they were starved for sex. They took a position where they were in contact with children and had power over them via image and protection.

It is also difficult to get rid of the opinion that it is always the woman who seduces the man

This morning NPR ran a story on an investigation in India of Catholic priests being accused of blackmail and sexual coercion against female parishioners by using their confessions against them.

Kids don’t belong in orphanages unless there is literally no other option. Period. These shelters are orphanages for children who are mostly NOT orphans, and they are essentially hidden from the public view.

99% of the employees can be lovely, well trained staff who care about the kids, but all it takes is that 1…

You are absolutely right; in fact, I said something similar elsewhere on the thread. The United States has always been a nation of brutality, greed, conquest, and atrocity. The sooner we accept that reality, the sooner we can make amends to the peoples who have been, and are, oppressed by the US; and work to create a…

With the prequels referenced here, it’s worth pointing out that until the sequel trilogy came out, literally 50% of Star Wars movies were terrible movies (and you COULD make arguments for certain aspects of ROTJ). So it’s not like “bad Star Wars movie” is some sort of new, world-ending phenomenon that the Star Wars…

I do think it is ironic that a movie that was blatantly about evil space nazis has become the favorite of so many white supremacists.

Emboldened by Trump, ICE has arrested more than five times as many undocumented immigrants at their workplaces than they did last year, according to a report released by the agency.

Why isn't Ivanka on this list?

I legit wept when I saw the footage of Elin Ersson standing up for that poor man they were trying to ship back to Afghanistan. Her absolute bravery- esp standing up to that British racist asshole who stole her phone til the flight attendants got it back for her. Towards the end when nearly everyone on the plane got…

THe Russian shit is bad. This is worse. And I’m not trying to minimize Russia. The dude is literally open for business. China and Israel are doing him business favors in exchange for favorable policy decisions. Its not long before the E.U and Canada and Mexico also start playing the game. I think it should go without…

It will amuse me to no end if some shit like this gets him impeached even before Muller is done.

What is the purpose of these mailings? It can only be terrorism.

Does that shithead’s sign read ‘black rifles matter’?

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You know, sometimes it’s hard for me to tell. Real TERFs don’t sound much different than that comment I replied to and I hate how they’re grinding their axes so hard that all of a sudden they’ve convinced enough people that they’re actually victims.

So... rape threats and death threats against lowly vagina-havers are now the height of feminism and progressivism...

We’ve already failed the “what would you do if you were alive in Germany when the Nazi’s were coming to power test.” That lady that climbed the Statue of Liberty passes, but the rest of us fail.

YES. YES. YES!

Easiest way would be for other White people to stop saying “they’re all the same” as an excuse not to vote and to actually start voting for even the least shite option. Even a generic “neoliberal”, pro-market Tony Blair figure is preferable to Far-Right thugs. Yet because they won’t suffer the consequences plenty of…
