  • Of course it was American Airlines. Whenever you read a story about an airline doing something terrible to a passenger, odds are it will be them. I stopped flying on them a decade ago after a bad experience with power tripping flight crew, and every time I see a story like this I continue to not regret that decision.

  • Nothing to do with Hamilton. Russell was following Norris's line. Norris clipped the wall before the corner. Russell clipped it at the same place, just a bit harder and broke the car. If he didn't break the car he would have gone around the corner just fine.

  • You assume that rulings would be consistent. If you read any of the recent decisions you will note plenty of hypocrisy and a decided lack of reasoning consistency in their written opinions. It is almost as if they are trying to justify a predetermined outcome...

    So you'll see plenty of rulings in favor of things red states like and against things blue states like.

  • Yes, modern religion has many rules made by the dicks once they took over. Before the dicks rules were things like don't steal shit, don't fuck your neighbor's wife, don't murder people, don't lie about shit, etc. The dicks were so bad that some other guy had to come along and say "seriously guys, stop being dicks". But the dicks didn't like that so they killed him.

  • The Church's position in general is that everyone is immoral and going to hell without the Church's help. (See original sin, the sacrament of confession, etc)

    He isn't saying "gay is now ok." The pope is saying that the sin of homosexuality shouldn't be treated any different than the sin of lying, greed, stealing, envy, cheating, murder, child molestation, etc.

    I think the quote from him below expresses his viewpoint with more nuance than I could:

    "The door is open to everyone, everyone has their own space in the church. How will each person live it? We help people live so that they can occupy that place with maturity, and this applies to all kinds of people."

    "What I don't like at all, in general, is that we look at the so-called 'sin of the flesh' with a magnifying glass. If you exploited workers, if you lied or cheated, it didn't matter, and instead relevant were the sins below the waist."

    "We must not be superficial and naive, forcing people into things and behaviors for which they are not yet mature, or are not capable. To accompany people spiritually and pastorally takes a lot of sensitivity and creativity."

    "Everyone, everyone, everyone, are called to live in the church. Never forget that."

  • I wish a prosecutor somewhere would look at the pervasive pattern of this behavior and bring a Rico case against police departments and union leaders engaging in coverups. Sadly if one did they would probably turn up dead shortly afterwards.
