  1. I'll tell you what's infuriating: no textbooks.  I can't tell you the number of times I've had to fire up the google machine to help a kid with their homework -- it's easily in triple digits -- because the process being taught is not documented except in the classroom.  Guess what, I'm not in the classroom.  I know fuck all about your new "double diagonal" method of division, but if I had a textbook in front of me I could figure it out in a couple of minutes and help you teach my kids.

    This right here. Got damn.
  2. No, you know they are not doing the raping that reason. They are doing it for evil personal gratification. To argue otherwise is just nothing but anti-Catholic bigotry.

    Of course that’s not the reason they are raping. But they are absolutely doing under the guise of an organization that promises eternal salvation through said organization. That kind of promise brings an expectation of a significant level of responsibility on its purveyors. The undermining of that expectation by the buttfuckers and their enablers is what’s so insidious. There is noting anti catholic in that argument at all. If you can’t see that then you are probably part of the enablers.
  3. The church quit killing foreign peoples for their failure to convert.  
    The church quit extorting businesses and individuals for operating overhead.
    The church quit condoning the hitting kids in schools for not behaving correctly.
    Surely, the church can quit letting grown men put their dicks in people's faces.  
    And the UT example is bullshit.  If some social organizations do some bad shit, we advocate closing down UT?  The fuck is wrong with you.  Higher Education and Organized Religion...two massive institutions in our society that have done tremendous good for themselves and millions they will never directly meet.  We get it.  The difference, and I cannot fucking believe some of you don't get this, every large institution has bad people that do evil shit and yet we need them to endure.  What's different about the Catholic Church is they just reshuffled the issue for a thousand years.  Not one diocese.  Not one decade.  For a thousand years, a global "empire" moved tens of thousands of child rapists from one area to another.  When a college does it, like Michigan State or Penn State, the hammer is dropped on them.  Criminal charges, jail time, public humiliation, civil charges, terminations, lawsuits, dads beating the shit out of administrators, public vilification, loss of revenue, dilution of the brand, more jail time.  It goes on and on.  When I meet somebody from Penn State at a conference to this day...I still think, "Did this very influential alumni know something about what was going on there?"  And he is forever stained to me.  But somehow, people still advocate that because of a Loaves & Fishes truck in East Austin, that the Catholic Church can't be beaten down. 
    The church enabled tens of thousands of clergy and staff to abuse and rape child and adult alike to a millennium.  A full thousand years of fear and anal tearing.  But they are beyond reproach because of orphanages?  Even the Mob draws the line at kiddy rape.  

    On top of all that, they do it in the name of being your ticket to eternal salvation. Pretty sure that’s the most insidious concept in human history.
  4. I help my 6th grader with cc math homework almost every night. The materials she has don’t do a very good job of explaining the concepts, but the concepts are solid imo. I can totally see how in general kids will have a better understanding of math when they are done.
