Hundreds of 'Predator Priests' Sexually Abused Young Victims, Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report Finds
That's where the real pizzagate or whatever the drymount is. Pretty disturbing fudge just reading about it. Not sure what the drymount is wrong with people, both the priests and those who still go to church every drymounting Sunday. Also, how the drymount does one's kid find themselves alone with a drymounting priest? drymounting people.
Edit: probably belongs in the peeves thread. Sorry, Fredo.

That's what priest really say though:
...
"Please help me," the priest later confessed.
But the diocese concluded that "the experience will not necessarily be a horrendous trauma" for the victim, and that the family should just be given "an opportunity to ventilate."
The priest continued his ministry for several more years, according to the report.

Apple’s latest tax appeal attempts to reduce its billion-dollar valued buildings to just $200
Last week, Apple became the first US company to be valued at $1 trillion by market capitalisation, thanks in part to its relentless control over money as well as its impact in the technology market. It turns out that the firm has appealed its tax assessments nearly 500 times in the past 14 years, with its latest arguing that the buildings within its headquarters are valued at just $200, therefore warranting a tax reduction.
Apple’s latest effort matches other companies in Silicon Valley, who are trying to convince governing bodies that the equipment it uses are worth a lot less than tax assessors have reported. Although this includes lab equipment and computers, The San Francisco Chronicle states that Apple is arguing that its $1 billion-valued Apple Park in Cupertino and other million-dollar valued properties are actually worth $200 each.
This is the latest in Apple’s relentless battle with taxes, with 489 tax disputes under its belt since 2004. The aim, according to Apple, is to claim back as much as it can from the $8.5 billion in property value it has contested over the years.
“The megacorporations have enough resources and money to wear a county down to lower their taxes by appealing, appealing, appealing,” Contra Costa County assessor Gus Kramer told the publication. “How much will a company pay in attorneys’ fees and expert witnesses for a potential payday of $100 million? They’ve spent millions, but there’s millions at stake.”
Having paid $56 million in taxes in the 2017-2018 fiscal year, Apple will still remain the largest tax payer in Santa Clara County, however a win in its case could see millions of dollars in back pay funnel from the County. Apple will be joined in its efforts against the County by Genentech and Walgreens, who have disputed 653 and 60 assessments each, worth $19bn and $2.2bn in property value respectively.
KitGuru Says: Given Apple’s track record, this isn’t too surprising, although it is far from the only firm indulging in aggressive tactics to improve its bottom line. That being said, attempting to reduce the estimation from billions to hundreds does seem a bit of a gross underestimation by any standard.
For sure. There's a doc out there about him, streaming on Prime I think.SPAC04 wrote:He was also dope in "Dog Day Afternoon"hunterjax wrote:Yep. Pretty amazing, such a shame he died so young.

Have been thinking about it quite a bit today. Is anyone aware if there was/were actual study/ies done on the subject of "predation" among catholic priests? Is it just catholic priests or other branches as well?bubbie wrote:Hundreds of 'Predator Priests' Sexually Abused Young Victims, Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report Finds

Any form of sexual assault is a repulsive heinous crime and I'm fairly certain that this is not isolated to catholic priests. Your attention to this matter is understandable, unlike...you know...the previous time the sexual assault topic was brought-up. I'm fairly certain you referred to it as, "whatever", in an earlier post of yours.
That's fine,bubbie. You pick your own battles and I respect that; however, it would have been great to have been respected for mine, not be dismissed as, "whatever"... and, (seemingly forced), to forever wear a scarlet letter by a certain group for voicing my opinion.bubbie wrote:Also, it has nothing to do with you being a woman, in my opinion. Paul replied to your post in regards to the Jurassic Park print and the way it was/wasn't sold. I am pretty confident he would not even reply had there not been any "drama" in the DD thread about him raising money for his wedding and whatever.
