The Catholic Church-at least now-doesn't physically hold people against their will, as far as I know.

The Clearwater Marine Aquarium is trying to build facilities downtown, and it was overwhelmingly approved by city officials who want the the tourism and money it will bring to the area. Scientologists are trying to stop it, and the city officials are accusing them of trying to keep people out of the downtown. Your…

They are extremely unfriendly to locals too. I broke down in a parking lot of thier and they called the cops on me in 3 seconds flat.

They have owned most of downtown Clearwater for 20+ years now.

I totally agree. I love how the city of clearwater paid for a study to see what is abating growth in downtown when anyone can tell you it's Scientology. Scientology was the savior of downtown clearwater , now it's the cancer.

A LOT of us locals, especially those of us with family ties to the city, are still furious over the way the cult moved into Tampa and bought up one of our most cherished heritage sites, The Vicente Martinez de Ybor cigar factor complex. No one's allowed in, so we can't even enjoy this beautiful building anymore...…

Now that's a pro style offense, right there.

Does anyone else appreciate the irony of gun owners, who likely* bought their firearm for Personal Safety Reasons, feeling less safe** as soon as strangers know there's a gun in the residence?

Eh you ever actually had a gun shoved in your face? I was robbed at gunpoint a few months ago, and by the time said gun is in your face there is not much you can do. If you try and go for your gun, odds are you're going to have your fucking head blown off (unless the dude is very incompetent, or you are very lucky, or…

"No, I'm prepared to defend myself and those around me"

Well, don't you have a small pee-pee.

See, I think the whole point here is that you can truss the thing, brine it, massage it, put a can full of flavorful liquids and aromatics inside it, and/or take its spine out and put it under a foil-covered brick ... and your results won't be that much (if at all) better than just about the the laziest possible…

Hey, it's almost like we are living under a tyranny of pro-gun activists! How ironic!

Me too, to the US. And I love this country with my bleeding eyes and fists. But lord do I hate its gun culture. It's not normal for 3/4 houses in the suburbs I live in to have guns. The worst that's ever happened here is that a hoarder set her house on fire. There is no reason to expose the kids and the depressed to…

Didn't have the guts to post this under your real screen name. Which says a lot about the mentality of gun owners like you. Scared of the world and without the courage or self-awareness to deal with that fear.

What decrepit wasteland do you live in and how often do you have to deal with the Lord Humongous?

You actually think a random small penis joke about a nameless man is the same as naming someone, mocking their injury, and then fat and scent shaming them? He wasnt just fat shaming her he was going after any woman who has a body that is deemed unacceptable by bros. Otherwise he never would have claimed there is a…

Well said. I would have been happy banning open-carry & stand your ground but the minute these morons started brandishing their guns in restaurants & stores I had enough. Jack said it best in "the departed" : "automatic weapons don't add inches to your dick. You get a life sentence for it.". These clods are hurting…

Yeah, Ari Shaffir called this lady out by her first and last name on a publicized special on Comedy Central, calling her annoying and smelly while making fun of her disability. She made a joke about a dude with a small dick surrounded by self-deprecating humor. Not even close to the same.

Jokes about an unnamed man's small dicks =/= rambling on/joking about a named woman for having a "fat smell," belly fold, and one arm.
