Vatican 'on edge' as Grindr data threatens to out priests

Sticks48 replies on Aug 27, 2021:
@Ello We gave an appearance of a democracy but only white men could vote and the electoral college was set up so if the rich and powerful didn't like it they could change it to suit them. We talked about all men being created equal and talked about freedom, yet most of those people signing the Constitution owned slaves including Washington and Jefferson. Women may have the right to vote, but are still not garuanteed the same wages as men and do not autonomy over there own reproductive systems. Let's not forget our "justice" system where the rich get by with many things the average citizen can't because they don't have the money and people of color are dealt harsher punishment than white people for the same crimes. I won't even bother with the discrimination in the health care and banking systems. What would you call these things?

Sticks48 replies on Aug 26, 2021:
@Charlene Nothing of the sort. Up until the 60s or maybe 70s unmarried men were suspected of being gay and not only could you be discriminated against in the world of employment. In some societies, including this country you could get your ass kicked, sometimes even killed. The priesthood was a job where no one questioned why you weren't married or never seen dating. Don't try to read shit into what l say and l said nothing about pedophiles. With that logic l could say you are implying all priests are pedophiles, which we know is not true.

Sticks48 replies on Aug 23, 2021:
Starting with Reagan the Republicans have been selling the idea the government can not be trusted, even though they make up half of the government, give or take a little at different times. Our educational system changed because of this idea of the passing of a national testing standard to get funding. We no longer teach civics classes and our history books have always been a joke. I am sure there are other things wrong with our educational system, but l am not close enough to the problem to know what they are. There are teachers on this sight who have more insight than l do.

@Willow_Wisp You couldn't trust Nixon, but he never said you couldn't trust the Government. Reagan said it and from then until now the Republicans have over sold it. Nixon did sign off on the EPA and started dialouges with China and Russia, but he also signed off on making it legal for the medical industry to make unlimited profits and waited too long to get us out of Vietnam. He was very intelligent, but he was also a paranoid geek. Reagan was a puppet like Bush Jr. and Trump. The Republicans love puppets. We have had one Governor in Texas who wasn't puppet in my lifetime and that was Richards which is why she lasted one term. I don't know about John Connelly. I was too young to know.

@Willow_Wisp So true. Cheney, Rumsfeld, and other neocons sent a White Paper to President Clinton explaining the need to invade and control a Middle Eastern country, one with oil, to have more control in that part of the world. I never bought into 9/11 being a legitimate reason for invading Iraq. We got Bin Ladin with a small force. We never needed a mass invasion anywhere over there. I think the more we quit messing around over there the less they will mess with us. This is for them to sort out. It is not like they are going to quit selling us or other nations oil.
They tried it once during the Clinton administration and the outcry was so loud they chickened out.

@Gwendolyn2018 l had a feeling from your postings or replies you were probably a teacher l would have enjoyed. My senior year l had an English Lit teacher who was good and made that class a joy. I got B+ in her class, which for me was a really good grade. My favorite teacher in college was an English Lit teacher. I wish l had had even one good history teacher. Those should have been really fun classes and they were horribly boring. I love history, but did not really get into until after l got out of school. I have no idea what algebra was about or how l got through it, but l did. I am glad to hear you are a teacher who thinks outside the box. It tells me you are a teacher for the right reasons. Bravo to you.

@Gwendolyn2018 Thank you. I had a feeling with your background and being one of the people here who I think of as one of the more intelligent people, you might have some insight on this subject. Like your grandson, if I did not find a class interesting, sometimes due to the teacher more than the subject, my brain would just not engage. I never had a history class I enjoyed. If it had been about cause and effect I would have been engaged, but it was always about names, dates, and locations. Boring!. I failed geometry by a point my senior year. The teacher passed me anyway. He told me he knew I wasn't stupid, but he knew I just had no interest in the subject. He could have forced my into summer school, but didn't. I have always appreciated that he recognized the problem. Thanks for your long winded response. :)

@Gwendolyn2018 I couldn't figure out why I would do good in some classes and had to fake my way through others. I knew I wasn't stupid. I am also ambidextrous which I found causes me to go back and forth from my left to my right brain entirely on it's own. According to a study I read ambidextrous people tend to struggle at math, which I did when the math went beyond basic math. Later I figured out I have some sort of ADD and I suppose the Ambi thing contributed to the ADD. School was not the place for me to learn. I have a natural curiosity for many things, but I have to find out about things on my own, my way. My father would be appalled at what is going on now. He was very knowledgeable and heavily involved in politics. sorry I got long winded. :)

One of my basketball kids asked me for help w math two years or so ago . I took a look . He was at 7th grade at the time . I don’t think I did such math since college . I had no clue what this was , and I lost some of the shine of my crown that day 😂
Sticks48 replies on Aug 6, 2021:
@Pralina1 There is a correlation. We had a guitar player who was an engineering major. To him the music was math. Since l can't read music l don't see it that way. For me it is time, the math part in a sense, and feel, the soul part of it. Not a great explanation, but it is all l have.

Sticks48 replies on Aug 1, 2021:
@Barnie2years You are a fucking idiot. I mam from California and have lived in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas Georgia, and New Mexico. I have travelled all over this country. Ignorance like yours knows no state boundaries. Racism also knows no state boundaries. Texas is an ignorant redneck state in many places including the Governor's office. Austin is more liberal than any place in Pennsylvania, especially that Alabama like part between Pittsburg and Philadelphia. You have no fucking idea what my ancestors or even your ancestors did or what terrible things some might have done which has nothing to do with either one of us. I am in this part of Texas because it is liberal and has a great music scene, and music is my profession. Great music scenes are rare in this country. The next time you feel like sharing your ignorant ideas do it somewhere else like FB. There is plenty of stupid there for you to relate to.

@mcgeo52 That is bullshit. Bernie couldn't get the votes twice. Bernie fucked up by becoming an Independent.The parties support their own. Also, the "angry old man" bit only goes so far, ask Bob Dole. Bernie has great ideas, but makes terrible political choices. As a President he would have had little party support from either side.

She wouldn't have sucked up to N Korea and Russia. She would have handled the border better. All of those would have put us in a better place. The Republicans have and are going to continue to attack whenever there is a President who is a Democrat. That means very little anymore. It is what they do and always for naught.

I felt bad for him until he started becoming such an asshole the last few years. Normally l would never pick on the disabled, ever, but he is such an evil prick, l have no problem picking on him. If that makes me a bad person, l can live with it. We have bad Governors in this state for decades, other tha Richards, but none as mean and heartless as Abbott. Fuck him.
