The shooter is a white evangelical Christian male.

Yep. Just saw people yesterday talking on Facebook about how terribly middle eastern countries treat women and how we shouldn’t accept refugees. And all I could think was, “Yeah, because we don’t have assholes who hate women and terrorize them in this country.” And then this. For once, I wish I was wrong. But even…

Here is the joint statement released by the Republican presidential candidates:

Sisters of St Joseph. 1950s. Kansas. I could write a book about their emotional and physical abuse of little farm kids in their school. Locking retarded kid in a dark cloakroom all day, spanking with boards in front of the class, made one Mexican boy wear a dress all day to humiliate him because he didn't speak…

A couple of the nuns at my grade school made it their mission to break my spirit. I have heard a bunch of similar stories of nuns targeting girls with big personalities. I was pretty confident and fond of myself before they started in on me.

I was raised Catholic and am now an atheist. Every now and again when I’m really depressed, I think for a minute about finding a local social justice-oriented congregation nearby because the ritual, etc. is actually very soothing to me but then I remember how much the Church hates women and I’m like NOPE and go on a…

As a recovering Catholic who spent 13 years in Catholic schools, I’ve had mean nuns, crazy nuns, stupid nuns, and power tripping nuns. None of the nuns were what I’d consider well balanced. Even the ones who seemed OK, in hindsight, accepted their lot in life, as if they had no power at all to choose anything, and…

My great aunt was Sr. Maura O’Donahue, who was a medical missionary of Mary working in 23 different countries in her lifetime. She gave a report where she revealed that the priests in those countries were sexually abusing the nuns because they considered them safe in the era of HIV and AIDS. She wrote about a priest…

Oh, I’ve got one for you.

My mother, an orphan from Poland, was forced to give oral sex to a nun in her Catholic orphanage. Later in life she became a lesbian then a born-again Christian.

My mom and uncle went to Catholic school in the 50s. My uncle had an unfortunate situation with an abusive nun that involved a ruler.

One year when he was in grade school he would come home each day and throw up. My grandma would ask him why but he wouldn’t tell her. She ended up finding out from the mother of one of…

If you want to get even more pissed off at the Catholic church, note that priests have successfully negotiated to have social security withholding paid on their behalf for YEARS. Even the nasty ones who get kicked out for child molestation get to keep their Social Security when they retire.

Question for you: I grew up in Florida in the 1970’s and was educated by Mercy Sisters from Ireland. (We had a lot of them here due to not having any native Catholics of our own when the space industry go going and Catholics from Northeastern US cities moved down and wanted parishes and schools. They came from all…

I know three women, one from Ireland, one from the UK and one from Australia. Aged between 40 and 70. All covent school educated and all physically and psychologically abused. When they were discussing it, they found out they’d all been at schools belonging to the Sisters of Mercy. I think some orders just…

That is horrible, but I’m not at all shocked to hear this story. The Catholic church as an organization does not respect women, and it fosters abuse of all kinds.

My one aunt is a former nun, who left the convent and became a Jew. I have another aunt who is still a nun, and she absolutely hates it. She is a free spirit, and only joined to escape a bad, abusive home situation, just like her sister did. The other nuns are terrible to her- they force her to eat in silence, they…

In all likelihood, he probably started out with $10,000… the max you can readily withdraw in cash before you have to start documenting things with the IRS.

Larry David always plays Larry David. That’s what makes it fucking hilarious.

This was pretty, pretty, good.

The best part about this is he’s not even playing Bernie Sanders. He’s just playing Larry David. And it all works!
