I think those that are guilty should step down, not the "whole lot of them". >SD
There is a disproportionately high (in relation to the population) number of pedophiles, in position of power, with direct access to and authority over, children. << Chris Disproportionate by what information/statistic? In relation to the Population based on what data/figures? What hat did you pull this out of? How large is the Catholic community? 70 million registered Catholics in 2010, just in the US. Those in charge are people just like the rest and should be tried accordingly under whatever jurisprudence they are held accountable to. To make a statement like "...the whole lot of them" clearly exposes a biased anti-religious sentiment and denies the innocence of many members of religious clergy. The news has been littered with numerous teacher sex scandals and abuses; should we ask all teachers, the "whole lot of them", to step down? Walmart? lmao! Please Chris, Walmart is one of the most corrupt companies in the world. Excerpt; ...........calling on Wal-Mart to end its politically corrupt practices, including donating to corrupt politicians and participating in a sweetheart deal with the Bush administration on child labor violations. http://wakeupwalmart.com/feature/delay/ ..........Wal-Mart squeezes and cheats its employees, among them: blocking union organizing efforts, paying employees an average $8.23 an hour (as compared to more than $10 for an average supermarket worker), allegedly extracting off-the-clock work, and providing inadequate and unaffordable healthcare packages for employees. “There's no question that Wal-Mart imposes a huge, often hidden, cost on its workers, our communities and U.S. taxpayers,” Miller said. “And Wal-Mart is in the driver's seat in the global race to the bottom, suppressing wage levels, workplace protections and labor laws.” http://www.corporatenarc.com/walmartscandal.php http://www.changetowin.org/connect/2009/06/the_hidden_cost_of_4.html On Mar 27, 8:43 am, Chris Jenkins <[email protected]> wrote: > With Massive Attack, no less!
