I saw a headline that Comey wasn’t going to cooperate but now I can’t find it so....

The only people facing prosecution are the dumbasses on the boat that snuck him onto the island.  Which. . . they should.  The tribe could be totally wiped out by a sickness these clowns introduce.

Sorry, House Judiciary Committee, subpoenas are invalid from the outgoing administration since the voters have made clear who they want handling the issue.

Maybe there’s an extension to replace the word “missionary” with “arrogant religious zealot”?

Yeah, I’m not a fan of that narrow-minded nonsense. This story reminded of that old flood joke, where the guy kept turning down rescue boats and helicopters while saying God would save him. Then he drowned and when he saw God, asked him why he didn’t save him. God replied that he sent all those rescue craft, what more

My grandparents’ church does a lot of missionary work in Mexico - and they do good stuff, like legitimate charity work - but then how much fucking time they waste on all the praying part of it! When I moved to New Orleans right after Hurricane Katrina I was a volunteer, but I worked with an organization that saw a lot

That’s why I have zero sympathy for missionaries. Why not focus on the mess at home instead of using your religion to make the lives of others miserable?

My sister is firmly in the ‘always an hour late’ category, except she gets offended when you tell her events start an hour earlier than they actually do, in an effort to get her there on time.

Clearly the apple didn’t fall far from the tree:

Category A too; if work starts at 0730 then as far as I’m concerned, you’re here ready to get busy at 0730. However, for the last 7 months I’ve been working with a few people for whom a 9am start means they’re pulling into the hospital at 9, then get a coffee and then eat breakfast. They’ll also answer their phones in

Not an especially bad area but the mall has had issues on occasion(brawl last Thanksgiving), there is security as well as a police substation in the mall so not a surprise that were police nearby when it happened. One shot was a 12 year old girl that was hit by a stray round, the bullet came to rest near near her spine

How soon “soon” is seems to be proportionate to the desirability of the event.

It amazes me that there’s people in 2018 who think “missionary” is a worthwhile use of their time. Especially with the ease with which you can study the history of missionaries fucking things up around the world.

The main goal of every power structure once it becomes large enough is to protect the continued existence of that power structure. This is why these horrible abuses happen and get covered up over and over again in so many different contexts. 

You’re a good egg. I don’t think you meant to trigger something here; a very large number of us have had walls punched in our presence, and it’s very very scary and intimidating.

This. Save the punching walls for when you're alone. Losing self-control, even against inanimate objects is threatening behaviour.

I’m just going to gently second what mocena said. I’ve been with a guy who hit walls and threw things when he was angry. The first thought it my mind was not reassurance that he knew putting hands on someone else was wrong, it was that putting hands on someone else (me!) would/could be next. It was terrifying. Lashing

Some consider threatening a partner with violence to be physical abuse, not just emotional abuse.  Like, getting shit thrown at you, even if you aren’t hit by it, counts as physical abuse.  I’m so sorry you had to live through that.  

He’s a redhead in Atonement, and he looked just ATROCIOUS.
