“We know the candidate Barack Obama what he was like, the anti-war goverment nigg—the uh—…” Wow.
Some people say he was going to say “negotiator”, but if he was then why did he cut himself off? Remember, this is the guy who said “I don’t want to help blah people”. Just saying.
Gotta watch out for blah people and negotiators. They are what’s ruining...

Catholic Church Attempting to Silence Sex Abuse...
helvetebrann:
Turning the tables on an advocacy group that has long supported victims of pedophile priests, lawyers for the Roman Catholic Church and priests accused of sexual abuse in two Missouri cases have gone to court to compel the group to disclose more than two decades of e-mails that could include correspondence with victims, lawyers, whistle-blowers, witnesses, the police, prosecutors...

is it even possible to get that amount of notes?
Holy shit. The notes. I love humanity sometimes.
HOLY FUCK THE NOTES.
oh wow those notes! Let’s get to 190!
wow, definitely worth the number of notes, but wow
Alternately, don’t reblog if you’re one of those religious fanatics wanting to impose Christian Sharia law on your hapless...

goodreasonnews:
Ever get the feeling there’s at least one planet out there with a species similar to humans who have worked out a way to observe us and, having done so, decided not to introduce themselves?
If sentient life were a common occurrence in the universe, I wonder how common it would be for that sentient life to be as big of a dick to itself as the human race is….can we conceive...
New Book Accuses Vatican of Hiding Cases of Sex...
helvetebrann:
On the same day Pope Benedict addressed and blessed a group of 1,800 children in Guanajuato, Mexico, three Mexican authors released a book accusing the Vatican of hiding or ignoring cases of child sex abuse by Roman Catholic priests.
The book, “La Voluntad de no Saber” (Willing Not to be Aware), chronicles multiple cases of sexual abuse of minors committed by Marcial Maciel, a...

Drowning Fuels Debate Over Religiously Licensed...
The drowning of a 1-year-old boy at an Indianapolis church’s daycare is rekindling debate over whether church-related daycares should be licensed by the state.
State law allows religious nonprofits to register their daycares with the state, but the facilities avoid much of the oversight that licensed daycares face. Only about 5 percent of church daycares are licensed through the Family and...

Because much like schoolchildren, women should get permission slips signed so that their decisions can be approved by people who know better. Right.
Over and over in my head I just keep thinking how is this happening, how is this possible, how, how, how?
HOW?
Hi, I’m on the pill because I’m a whore. Please hire me.
Hi, I’m on the pill because I don’t want to decide if...

you are triggered: flashbulb memories of traumatizing events come to the surface, anxiety attacks ensue, relapsing causes dangerous behavior, the effects of whatever you are exposed to throws you back to an event that crippled you emotionally and psychologically
you are not triggered: wow that is annoying and i do not agree with it tag your post

Happy World Poetry Day
neil-gaiman:
Here’s my favourite poem about Premature Ejaculation and lust and self-hatred.
It’s called The Imperfect Enjoyment, and is by John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester (1 April 1647 – 26 July 1680).
I put a link up to it rather than post the text here, because it’s definitely a Not Safe For Work poem. The language was rude then and remains rude now. And as for the rant at his penis for...

The Difference Between Private and Public Morality
robertreich:
Republicans have morality upside down. Santorum, Gingrich, and even Romney are barnstorming across the land condemning gay marriage, abortion, out-of-wedlock births, access to contraception, and the wall separating church and state.
But America’s problem isn’t a breakdown in private morality. It’s a breakdown in public morality. What Americans do in their bedrooms is their own...

gabiwithoutgod:
Gnostic atheism: I believe there is not a god. The placement of the word “not” before god, rather than believe, indicates that there is a belief against the existence of a god. In the same way that you might say “I believe my mother is not at the store.” You have strong evidence to support that she is at the doctor, possibly, which in turn serves as evidence...
