How people learn to form and value intimate connections and the effects it has for their entire lives is a vital aspect of healthy human development. When those in position of authority and influence (or just random adults) sexually gratify themselves with those who are impressionable and vulnerable despite the lasting impacts to those lives, it is a violation of the trust children should expect of the adults in their lives, because those adults are taking something the children don't even understand and therefor can't exchange with mutual consent.

Ultimately people tend to genuflect towards the front of the Church, and when the tabernacle is moved to one side, it means we are genuflecting to the alter, not Christ. In addition, the more extreme versions of Church in round are not very functional for facilitating communion. The very long pews that wrap around make it difficult to easily get to an aisle to move forward to communion.

That ascribed motivation is very theoretical methinks, but handy if you are trying to come up with a way to deal with the reality that academics tend to have big, smart, critically-thinking problem-solving brains and as a result they often do not tolerate the emotional stupidity that is rampant in the Trump age.\n\nIf conservatives can't handle being bombarded by reason & logic, that's sad, but let's not blame it on some drive of academics to make stupid people feel stupid. Stupid people should naturally feel stupid when called out, but we live in a new age where people believe every thought is equally valid.

And the Congress, greedy for trade above all else, heartily approved of all of this.\n\nThe best way to encourage a bully is to refrain from challenging his behavior. That's prudent and long-sighted, rather than belligerent and foolish. Curiously, I would characterize China's behavior in this incident as \"belligerent and foolish\".

I know first hand the attitude many police officers have in regards to sexual assault, and its disgusting. Women find it hard enough to come forward, but when they muster the courage, they get treated like shit and victimized all over again.", "Lock the Pig up!", "Personally I think that the other party is a sanctimonious twit and the advice is very one sided. If she wants to wear old fur items why not?", "Yes Akmk! There are womyn and allies here who will vote for Hillary's vagina!", "Nothing wrong with a mandatory minimum here. She was a willing drug mule. End of story", "Do please make use of the cliff yourself and follow the Dumpster - I am sure you will enjoy the experience!", "Yes it is going to get very ugly........ for Rachael Notley and her merry band of wing nuts and kooks", "Don't be sore loser...", "Glad to see that Wente is still trying out for the Sun with this utter nonsense. Why is she still employed with this rubbish?", "I live in Mililani. To you predators: you'd better be careful you don't try getting into my house or at my family. TRYING to do that will be the last thing you do in your miserable existence, because you will NOT survive it. Be VERY careful, I'm waiting for you.", "I, for one, hope these thugs are locked away in the same cell with Grunwald's assailants! They deserve nothing less. \nAs for the homeowner, she deserves time in prison. Despicable.", "Eh...why not. I still think it's funny:\n\nTHE WASILLA GRUNTBUGGLIES!\n\n(Sung to the tune of “The Beverly Hillbillies”—with apologies to Earl Scruggs, Lester Flatt and Douglas Adams)\n\nCome and listen to a story ‘bout a boy named Todd\n\nCame from a place where the men are fairly odd\n\nGot him a beauty queen and spawned a big ‘ol brood\n\nLoud-mouthed, ignorant, drunken and crude \n(Rednecks, that is—tweaker hos, trailer trash)\n\nWell the first thing you know Sarah’s turnin’ politricks\n\nGot Jesus on ‘er side, gonna get outta the sticks\n\nShe said “rich and famous is the way I wanna be!\n\nIf I can’t be vice-president, just put me on TV!”\n(Fox, that is—self-promotion, hate-rants)\n\nIt’s way past time to say good-by to all the Palin kin\n\nWe wish some place that’s far away would kindly take ‘em in\n\nLike Alabama, Georgia, or even Tennessee\n\nLet the Palins burden the ol’ Con-fed-er-a-cy\n\n(South, that is…sorry, folks—yer too low-class for us northern rednecks; y'all go ‘way now, y'hear?)", "\"Better than a dope fiend infested hotel.\"\nYeah, keep repeating that and maybe somebody else will believe it.", "Or she might go out with a black man some night and a right wing white goober will gun them both down. Whats your point? Do you wan to start naming names? You'll loose that one starting with Mcviegh", "All the non-believers please hang on to your disrespectful thoughts for when the rollout begins, get out of the way. You will be mashed in the crap that you spew from your tiny minds and filthy mouths. You all disappoint me to the max for your classless conduct and loser attitude. Can't you move on and get a life? I guess not, since you all are having such a good time jawing back and forth and really without solving anything at all. Well, have at it, especially, klastri, allie, ad1, dai, ready2go, QBcoach15, gonesh, aiea7, downtown, and the ever alert keaukaha. Like the cowboys would say, \"Git along little doggie.\"", "Maybe more a sign of dead wood being cast aside. Look for more heads to roll.", "That story should be quite compelling. She was located by her husband. The airlift photo depicts a perilous ordeal.\nReporters aren't required to be perfect with every keystroke. It's time your silly side accepted that and grew up.", "We can only imagine the long line of butts she had to kiss, her groomers, money and desire from powerful party officials, her agreement to be a shill, a contract with Satan. When someone wants a meat puppet in Alaska it comes cheap", "At some point in this squabble, you know the dollar signs popped up in her eyes. Apparently, the husband was waiting at the arrival site holding up a sign asking if anyone has video of the incident.\n\nThey should throw her in jail.", "I hope you don't have kids if you see this woman's actions as acceptable. And I applaud the den for kicking the kid out. She brought unwanted negative attention upon them. However, she will, and is already likely, pay the the price for her stupid stunt.", "I hope he stays because he has shown a bright light on how too many people still see the world...locker room talk my ass...when I was 12 or 13 maybe and it was stupid then. A friend and I got caught saying stupid drivel less bad by a man I deeply respect...and he said quietly, \" Are you two quite done?\" And stood there...I was so embarrassed and I've never felt so stupid. Oh course being a thirteen year old boy almost begs this kind of macho stupidity but to see it in his supporter is bad...and little d is just plain disgusting! But in their lust for power Ryan and McConnell can't let go...they are the GOP, OMG.", "She died Don Richey. I'll be seeing you at a SEHS reunion if you'll come out of the bathroom and overcome your fear of others calling you out for what you are - a rat.", "Say Adios to Murkowski next election ....What a stupid vote, she is a Democrat skunk vomit hiding within smoke to us voters. God Bless Sullivan !", "Except, of course, this is still a dynamic and developing situation. There may be one more person in the GOP who cares enough about this country to keep a *filthy* rich, clueless, unprepared, war-profiteer out of a critical seat.", "Your comment is silly. It presumes only partial, and arguably errant, aspects of an anthropologic, sociologic, and subjective view of sexuality. The whole reason the Church persists in her teaching (..yes, she persisted and still persists...) is because she communicates the life of GRACE available to those who follow the gospel of Christ, her founder. Grace helps us in our growth in HOLINESS, our coming to know and see Christ better, that we might one day be able and worthy to see HIM in all His glory. If we strive for grace, them the subjective views, and first hand \"knowledge\" and \"experience\" of the laity can be properly weighed by their true worth and merit. Then we see that the personal arguments and experience of an adulterer, pervert, pornographer, sodomite, fornicator, etc, dont really matter much.", "An olive branch? Silly girl.", "Lesbian chicks are OK as long as they are HOT! This one appears to be marginal. Anybody got any tapes?", "I'm sure she will be celebrating Halloween, Christmas and New Years.\nWait, these are all those racist white celebrations that need to be changed.\nSorry, The Holidays maybe that wont offend her.", "Crooked Kathleen- lock her up!", "It's the only place to get 100LL north of the Brooks ,south of Deadhorse and east of the Haul Road.

Mindless drama for suburbanites with empty heads and meaningless lives.", "\"And if she disobeys bash her head in with a rock\"", "Which only proves the stupid rabid homophobia of both Russia and it's bosom kin, the Deep South, that except for the revelation of a minor character's possible same sex attraction, it's okay for the female lead to fall in love with a talking buffalo/wolf hybrid.", "I regularly watch this show from the upper desert in Ca. above Los Angeles. Most of it's enjoyable, but every time \"Bear\" climbs a tree without thinking of consequences if he falls; slugs something (usually something living); or howls (an interminally long time) my first responds is to shout to him via a glass screen \"IDIOT\"! Sure wish somebody would let him know he will most likely meet his \" maker\" untouched, if you get my drift.\nLOVE son/inventor Noah, and hope his budding true love lasts. She seems to be a great match for him. Hope the girls warm up to her, as he needs a break. After all, mom Amy wants \"Browntown\" to grow, right?\nLastly, some of these boy/men really need speech therapy. That slurry lisp drives me nuts. Do they EVER think a woman wants to hear THAT the rest of her life? (Answer: most likely NOT!) And that's NOT an \"accent\" by the way, or ALL of the \"kids\" would sound that way, and they don't. Just Bear, Gabe,and I believe it's the older girl, the great shot.", "I have a raven that hangs around and after reading this essay, I will add that she would make a better President than the ape we have now.
