If you've not seen this, do so. It'll not only make you want to research how we might remove the Catholic Church from tax exempt status, but also provide a good primer on how and why something like the murder of Freddie Gray and the Baltimore Riots occurred.

It's a lurid expose on a delightful bunch of sadistic priests, a completely fucked up patriarchal "religion," corrupt police, bent district attorneys, crooked legislators, probably crooked judges, and a sad society of brainwashed working and middle class Catholics.

Highly entertaining, and highly depressing. But if you've ever wavered in your anti-theism, this will put you back on very solid footing.

"The Archdiocese of Baltimore responded to the series by adding a FAQ page to its website, in which it stated allegations that the archdiocese knew of Maskell's sexual abuse prior to 1992 were false speculation."

Um, doesn't everybody already knows that the Catholic Church's most notable accomplishments in the last century or two are 1) running the largest pedophilia ring in recorded history, and 2) engaging in a horrific and shameless cover up of the largest pedophilia ring in recorded history. "False speculation"? Unconvincing.

Considering the timing involved, it clearly was not a requirement but rather a gesture intended to help continue said activities.

Also, you certainly have more experience with Lutheran girls than me. As I think about it, she may be the only woman I ever dated who was even a holiday church-goer.

If this doesn't bring Atticus back, he is dead.

I have no idea of the religion of most women I've known, other than the wife, and as you said my motivation there is in Tim Watley land.

He says "hi" to everyone, but I haven't persuaded him to come back (yet).

Let him know flower is defaming the Church and don't stand in his way on the log in line.

They say St. Olaf is up on a hill so they can be closer to God. I always thought it was so that those blond Lutheran girls would be harder for the brothers to get at.

I can refute this in another four words: Sunday morning hangover sex.

Before bargaining on those sorts of things, TCB first. You'll approach the negotiation from a more balanced perspective.

Probably best described as "misogynistic drivel" rather than "anti-diversity screed". But, eh, it's really not bad reporting.

I thought I'd posted this here, if not, I apologize, I posted it everywhere else. Read through the whole thing. Explains why he sucks as an engineer and an employee, and not just as a human being. And Google's principal concern with him is and should be that he sucks as an engineer and employee.

I don't know enough to comment on what makes a good engineer, but in terms of judgment, this demonstrates some serious mental deficiencies.

He didn't commit career suicide by .38 to the temple. He put a grenade in his mouth and pulled the pin.

He probably didn't have a career. He was moving on several years out of school and still had a number for a job title, so his days at Google were likely either limited or, even worse, perpetual and monotonous. He opted for a new career being a right wing misanthrope. It's the biggest growth industry in Trump's Amerika.
