There are something like 1.4 billion catholics in the world there is going to be all kinds of examples for you to call it a "systemic issue" when there is literally no part of the system that encourages this. If you actually cared you would look at schools which have a much higher number of molested kids. And no government schools is about them being government run not some kind of public run thing.

I love how you guys just cant not think about trump for one moment. Rent free.

That is a long wiki page, you will need to point to the part you are referring to.

If you want to point to institutions with pedo problem, then you should look at government schools which have much more than churches. But I think this is more about ragging on religious institutions than actually understanding what is happening.

I am guessing that we are talking about the catholic church, and I could be wrong because I dont know about their rules, but I dont believe they would have rule not severely punishing or sending to police pedos. I would guess they catagorized it as someone who broke a rule, not committed a crime.

I think what it is are they are friends and their friends promise to never do it again and they dont want to ruin their lives. It is a universal thing and not just a religous thing but we news stories about what is supposed to be a safe place sell more papers.

It does make sense that God would be allowed to break rules, its kind of like how a parent doesnt have the same rules as their kids. And no on in a church is allowed to be a pedo, if that happens that is seem by very bad by all the people.

It was a compromise so the smaller states were willing to join the United States. Same reason there are two senators for each state.

Sounds like a big government dream!

Its just going to be a daily struggle like anything having to do with parenting. We had one 10ish year old kid find a way around the locks we put on it and they went directly for video games and porn in the middle of the night, but we caught it because we were paying attention. Its hard but if you actually care about your kids development and protection you can do it. Also its good to find other parents that are actively doing the same things so your kid doesnt just get to access porn via a friend.

It is insanity that most parents let their kids have social media and smart phones. I have kids, and it was an expectation that they would not have either of these things until they were adults (if they chose). Most of the parents I am around and spend time with also dont let their kids have these things. There are phones for when they get older that allow them to have something like a smart phone but its restricted and parents have total oversight. I really dont think its a big deal if that is the expectation you give to your kids, and the kids can even see how unhealthy the phone habits of their peers are.

I agree, I think we need to go back to a more small community groups where people with similar ideologies in similar places build up bonds. I have been trying but I think we are a bit too individualistic and those groups only tend to be family based.

I agree with most of what you are saying, but it just doesnt work as a system in our current cultural framework. There has to be an exchange of value added to money given, its not perfect but there just is not a way to do it better differently without discouraging going above and beyond.

Not all, but a majority of labor people do is to make money. What reason do I have to work extra hard for if not for financial gain?
