Dude this site has made me a proud moderate.
I appreciate the open conversation.

Nobody died, so this is totally fine.
Just did a quick search and found this from PEW research, 2014, about 1/3rd lean 'republican':

Regarding institutional pedophilia, I think the Catholic church is just one of any institutions in which its widespread and covers it up. Baptists just recently got caught doing the same thing. Politicians and the ruling elite as well... it's seems to be a perpetual cycle of those in power. I would not tie it to religion/politics - IMO any true religious person seeking salvation - or any non-religious, decent-human being for that matter - are 100% aghast at the thought of molesting children.
TBO I'm a little surprised the maudes have let these insinuations of pedophilia being tied to political affiliation fly... I've been clipped for far less IMO.
You’re a teacher, right?Unequivocally those that are abused and trafficked could be any of our kids. Those that do the abusing could be any of us. Respectfully, Id wager that there are some abusers here on this site secretly and in the shadows. Those that do the trafficking . . . politicians, law enforcement, organized and unorganized crime all play a vital role in keeping the status quo. I think we all wish the bad guys looked like monsters, they do not however look like monsters usually.
Yes and fentanyl is as well. Trudeau is making his way across the provinces to make it legal everywhere.Wait, crystal meth is legal in Canada?
In my limited knowledge of the Pope, he seems closer to a communist than a conservative.
Interesting. But more ID as 'democrat'... PEW needs to go back to the drawing board or something - because that doesn't seem to square IMO - results nonwithstanding. I'm not disputing the veracity of either finding, just wondering why the opposition.Also from pew...73% identify as Conservative or Moderate

If you scroll down, you'll see the younger Catholics being moderate and liberal have grown/are growing.
No wager needed. This site's membership is large enough that it absolutely includes every slice of the piece.Unequivocally those that are abused and trafficked could be any of our kids.

Just a guess, but I'd wager more people today actually ID as 'liberal' than in the past. 'Liberal' used to be somewhat of a dirty-word, maybe comparable to 'progressive' today - but even that has lost any 'extreme' connotation.To be fair...its data from 2014...things have gotten more polarized since. I'd be curious of the numbers now. From the data we have it was 50/49 for Trump from that demo in the 2020 election but not how people self identify.
Some people just don't love guns the way others might. It is okay. The guy that owned the racist civil war store in town died recently. You probably knew that though since you are right around the corner and all.
It was a grossly irresponsible post. I know for a fact this site has a bunch of degenerates on it, it’s clear by what’s posted on a daily basis. And yes numbers are numbers, but for him to say something like that, is ridiculous and has no place here.No wager needed.

I didnt bring up Kennesaw, but when it was brought up I clarified a wrong interpretation.Never been to any civil war store and know nothing about its owner. Is that your brothers favorite place or something?
Where do you live? Would be cool to know so we can just throw some sick stuff about that town into threads for no reason.

You’d “wager” there were child abusers on this site. You better have some evidence before you throw stuff like that around. Abusing children is the worst thing you can do in this world.What was wrong about what I said?

Don't be so naive to think there are zero persons on this message board abusing kids. That allows it to continue. I will add that people that get upset and uncomfortable with what I stated, probably do so for a reason. And it is not bc they care so much about kids. If the shoe fits . . .You’d “wager” there were child abusers on this site. You better have some evidence before you throw stuff like that around.
