This and Watership Down are two of my favourite movies that fit a genre that seems to hardly exist any more. A movie where the journey is the story. Love them. Also I will continue to be in denial about my age thank you very much!

oh thank you! I hadn't meant to badger you, but thank you again!

Just wondering, does anyone know how long it usually is for ownership change to be approved? I applied for one a few days ago, and just wondered how long it might take. Thanks in advance!

Makes me think of the season 5 community D&D episode: https://youtu.be/9byMfi3Qav4?si=x0n1PhPowJZWZxcA&t=157

Here is an unrelated image of a normal human sitting in a chair. As you can tell the sunglasses do nothing, it is still clearly a human.

At this point I don't think you even know what your trying to say. None of that has any effect on anything I have said. In fact almost none of it even hardly applies to what I have said.

I am going to put it as simple as possible. If you are told about child abuse and do not report it, and therefore allow it to continue, you are evil. However that affects or upsets your worldview is not something I could care any less about.

The only way you could think I said all religious people is if you assumed all of them had this law. Which would mean American centrism. You can't have got to that without it.

Those privileges should not protect (and in my country do not protect) suspicion of serious harm to others. You tell a member of your legal team or doctor that you abused a child, there is a duty to report.

[I'm not going to respond anymore. Partly because it's late and I have work. Partly because I think you are arguing in bad faith, as your conclusions repeatedly do not correlate with what I said]

I did not state that. Your country is not the only country in the world. Not every religious person is part of the clergy.
I stated, and will state again. Those laws are evil and it taints all those who they protect.

It is also worth pointing out that, that changes nothing about what I said. It all still applies.

Those laws exist because they were lobbied for. It is not bigoted to hate laws that exist to protect abusers or those who are happy to use them. And I am not American, fortunately no such evil protections have been allowed in my country.

Also thinking it is extremist and bigoted to be against laws that exist to protect abusers and those that support them is certainly a take...

I also assume you have taken it as bigoted because you are American and assume that this applies to all clergy. But there are in fact clergy in the world that don't support such thing. And shockingly many other countries where such disgusting laws don't exist.

I stand by my statement. If your institution has such a law to protect it, it is gotta be pretty evil.
In my country and in my profession (teacher), it is stated in law that I am required to report (and testify if needed) any suspicion of child abuse. It is absolutely abhorrent to me that someone wouldn't be required to. Never mind be protected from it.
Regardless of Bishop Miller's opinion, that law is exists and is evil. And it taints all those who it protects.

I assumed the same as you, but I feel I am going to show my ignorance. What about the user name changed your mind?
