I think all are the case of people thinking that they are too important to need to worry about the law. Individuals I can understand a little better, although I'm not excusing the behavior. Institutional stuff, especially from a church, scares the daylights out of me. That's a collective decision from a group that is supposed to carry the flag of morality.

Because churches carry such a revered place in society they can offer either a great amoubt of good or a great amount of bad. Bottom line is humans are inerently sinners and it takes effort and discipline to do good

We aren't more screwed up. 30 years ago this stuff went on and was kept quite or covered up. Now it's out there and talked about. This is better. Can't solve a problem if you don't know about it.

We know about it, but we're indifferent. Look at the relative "so what else is new" reaction to open discussion of killing unwanted late term babies or even newborns? They actually cheered it New York and lit up the Freedom tower in celebration!

Infanticide...let's hear it!



Yeah...we are screwed up, even if we know it.

The lack of respect for the innocence of Children (both unborn and born) is simultaneously depressing and angering to me. Teachers, Clergy, entertainers, Government officials...seems no matter who they are it's open season for either the sexual exploitation and/or destruction of innocent little ones & the young.

So sad.

You have to see it to believe it. The depths to which the Democrat party and it’s leaders have fallen is beyond comprehension.

I asked in a post the other day what happens to 'em when Mueller doesn't find any "collusion"? Don't forget how much they have invested the past two years in that scam bringing Trump down.

Matter of fact, next month we could see a new arms agreement with N. Korea, a new trade agreement with China, AND Mueller exonerating Trump of all "collusion" speculation with Russians one right after the other!

Trump hits 60% approval ratings while the Democrat Presidential candidates try to out flank each other running as far Left as can be measured on any Socialist's scale. Talk about a meltdown?:scream:

Years ago I was on a grand jury in Maryland. One case was about an older guy who was assaulting kids in his townhouse community. While they were still working up the charges, they arrested the guy. I remember the officer involved was asked why they tool the guy in before they dropped charges on him. He said they did it for his protection from the parents.
