So, uh... Do you think victims of child abuse just never open up to therapists because therapists are obligated by law to report suspected sex crimes against kids?
never? no, more reluctant to? yes. But I don't see the relationship between a therapist and patient as being directly paralel to that of a clergymen and a member of their congregation in the first place so the comparison doesn't work 1:1 the way you seem to think it does really.

A therapist has a very different relationship with their patient than a clergymen where they are more actively prying into what's going on with their patient and looking for warning signs of what's causing them issues.

By contrast the conversation with your priest in a confession booth is a lot more based on what you are willing to just freely and naturally offer up rather than the other party seeking to dig deeper so the reluctance/chilling aspect is a lot more impactful.
Because your argument could very easily be reframed to also advocate for therapists
the constitution has never enshrined the separation of therapist and state so no, no you can't re frame my argument to work there.

I just do not think the law stands to offer a particularly effective solution, while also treading into territory that the constitution dictates the state ought not go. with the usual state offered reasoning of "for the kids"

We need to restrict the second amendment "for the kids" we need to restrict speech "for the kids" we need the state involved in your faith "for the kids"
 
By this logic you should be okay with basically every core aspect of any religion on this planet existing without impediment from the state.

You aren't. So you're a hypocrite. Moving on.
So you don't believe in freedom of religion? Okay, good to know. My point has been made pretty clearly with this idiotic response.
 
Spoken like a true porn addict
It's true though. The rise of free internet porn led to the decline and fall of sex killers, who raped and murdered women and gay men. When you can get all the porn you want on your computer, you don't have the urge to hunt down women (if you are a man) or gay men (if you are a closeted gay man).

No...No it didn't. That's why there's still monkey torturers, still killers and still rapists today. Technology has just made it easier to spot, and arrest them or prevent it.

Pedophiles use this same excuse, "let us have child pornography. We won't rape children anymore/will rape them less!"
Porn is proven to escalate harmful desires, since you need worse and worse to get off.
 
All the fun stuff got stripped by the parliamentarian because Senate Republicans are cucks.
I think a bit of this is because they're already using goofy rule bending to pass the bill with a simple majority rather than 60 (doing it by reconciliation or 51 votes rather than 60). So it's harder to add stuff that affects the budget beyond something like 10 years or changing anything regarding social security.

They're definitely not going to try getting Democrats on board with the bill so going for a majority is out of the question, which leaves them stuck with the reconciliation process that has its limitations.
 
In a letter marking the 31st anniversary of the Lubavitcher Rebbe's passing, Trump quotes the Talmud and says that following its teachings will lead America into a new golden age:

Thank you, President Trump!

Very interesting how much power this little kike sect actually has.

The Lubavitchers actually WORSHIP rabbi Schneerson as the messiah, and don’t acknowledge that he’s dead.

(So yeah, Trump just managed to be a DOUBLE heretic, and spit not just on Christianity but also on Judaism, lol!)

Since the Rebbe is THE MESSIAH, he can’t be dead, so they act like he’s alive and literally talk to a ghost.

When Ben Gvir, the Israeli minister of national security visited them recently, he also did a whole show of addressing the ghost of the dead Rabbe and asking him for permission to speak.

It's true though. The rise of free internet porn led to the decline and fall of sex killers, who raped and murdered women and gay men. When you can get all the porn you want on your computer, you don't have the urge to hunt down women (if you are a man) or gay men (if you are a closeted gay man).
Meh… Any decline in serial killers is more likely tied to advances in DNA technology and forensics. There aren’t fewer serial killers and rapists, they just get caught earlier.

(Shit, if you really want to discuss out there reasons why there are fewer serial killers, than the switch away from lead based paints probably makes more sense than: “We have porn now!”)

Not Judaism, but some weird sect of Judaism that is basically a charismatic folk religion that demands people live like they’re in the early modern east European shtetl. Equating this to Judaism is like equating the Jehovahs Witnesses or Mormons to all of Christianity.
 
And the best part: he is right about everything. Hillary had her head up her ass the entire time. Smug fucking bitch was huffing her own farts. Unironically though she was a better candidate than Joe or Kamala. Evil, but calculating.
hilldawg was nasty but she knew what she was doing, she was competent
biden probably did too at some point in the past but now he's a senile geriatric
kamala is just stupid and incompetent
 
They defanged the bill and took out most of everything that Trump wanted.

Firearm deregulation? GONE.
No tax on tips? NEUTERED.
No healthcare for illegals? GONE.
No tranny healthcare? GONE.

Basically what’s left is a trillion dollar pentagon budget, because all the MIC faggots need to get paid, more debt, more money printer go BRRRRR, and few of the cuts that would finance the tax cuts.

If you didn't know ahead of time we'd end up exactly fucking here, I don't know what to tell you. Anyone who thought otherwise is gullible af. Donboi knows it too because this is how politics works. It runs on broken promises, shitty PR campaigns, taking credit for shit you didn't do, and scapegoating anyone you can to keep the pork flowing. They're all part of this big scam.

FFS, half the people you ask next year, if they remember this shit, will only remember the promise and assume they got what they wanted too. The other half, if they remember, will defend whoever their personal favorite boob in politics is because, well just because, special reasons.
 
Depends.
If Vance commences total Parliamentarian death? Trump is going to try and primary Thune come midterms. Same goes if it fails before the 4th. Passes as is? Tons of pissed off gun owners either joining Trump primarying people or just saying home. Thune steps up and removes the karen? Levels of SO BACK that shouldn't even be possible.
So wait when can Vance/Thune remove the parliamentarian stuff? I thought it was too late.

I'm holding my tongue around my liberal relatives as I have to listen to them talk about some doctor claiming President Trump has dementia (after likely ignoring Biden's condition), cheering on hurricanes to hit the Gulf States (because they're filled with Republicans), and suggesting if Republican voters want to cut liberal policies such as social security and Medicare, then they should not benefit from them.

Because your argument could very easily be reframed to also advocate for therapists to have the level of confidentiality of Catholic confession. Hell you could reframe it to apply to any level of confession. Despite that, from my understanding, people report child sex crimes or admit to being victims of child sex crimes to therapists every single fucking day.
Catholics believe that if you don't enumerate your sins to a priest and do the assigned penance, you will be tortured by God in purgatory for them. If you're a traditionalist Catholic, you believe you'll be tortured for thousands of years. It's more analogous to talking to a lawyer than a therapist. If you really did commit the crime, you need to tell your lawyer, and no, he shouldn't be required to tell the court you confessed to him. Same with the confessional.

Thing is though… WHY ARE THEY SO POWERFUL?!

POTUS is writing them and kissing ass, Israeli government ministers are going there and pretending to talk with ghosts… WHAT THE FUCK?!?

The problem isn’t Don, the problem is the RINO scum still crowding the senate.

Trump needs to declare TOTAL RINO DEATH and primary them all.

And throw Lindsey Graham in jail for violating the Logan act.
 
I'm holding my tongue around my liberal relatives as I have to listen to talk about some doctor claiming President Trump has dementia (after likely ignoring Biden's condition),
Fox News had a novel length article the other day cataloguing all the times Trump’s mental fitness has been questioned by the media in the past.

The conclusion of the article reveals that the lesson the MSM have taken away from the Biden situation is that it is the media’s responsibility to hold the White House’s feet to the fire on issues like this, so they are going to massively increase the amount of articles they write questioning the mental fitness of Donald Trump.

Fucking Goldwater rule, man, these people are shameless.

"My diagnosis of the mental acuity of someone I've never met just so happens to fall into my own political lines, but you can trust me, imma doctor!"

Moloch blesses those who suck baby dicks it seems.
 
If it was the 1800s and we only had Trump's writing as evidence of his mental state, I would easily believe that he had dementia or even some kind of schizophrenia. His writing is fucking crazy. But anytime you see him address an audience or speak with someone it's obvious he's still extremely sharp. At his age you have to watch out for a fall-off but I don't see one yet.

It's another typical case of the general rule: libs are guilty of that which they project. They knew Biden was demented, they carry the guilt, they project it onto Trump (and you for supporting him). They are like babbies you can read them so easily
