You can be convinced, you will be wrong though. Religion is a means of justifying otherism, not the origin of it. People will just create another bunch of bullshit to justify why they aren’t bad people.

I know homophobes that are atheists. while religion being gone would decrease it, do not expect it to be gone just because of that. People will always have issues with people different than they are.
Google “land taxes in medieval europe”. It will likely come up with an article about england, but once you scroll past the typical google shit you will get a broader set of information on the subject.
What are you talking about? Land taxes were one of, if not the, most important tax group in medieval times.
You are mistaking “want to hear it” for “can’t hear it”
I wanted to post this channel for a long list of reason, broken down in a forensic manner, as to why this is a bad idea, glad others were here, and thinking the same.
would you care to elaborate on what you believe should be done about this?
in order to fix the corrections system you need to fix the entire legal system. from cops and jails to DAs Judges and laws
Seems he resigned from that department but I can’t find anything about him other than a piece talking about his wife since then. Nothing about his stance on policing, his job, etc.
No idea actually. Haven’t heard much about him since the story came out. I will have to look up what came of this, if anything is out there to know.
Yeah, I am in my 40s and when people significantly older than me talk about how crime is worse than it has ever been I am always like “I guess you don’t remember 1970-2000”.
I never contradicted any of this, I don’t know of a modern one. You said they never existed… They did.
I responded to your comment that said they have never been a thing. never.
One of the cops’ spouse worked in the school and they had to physically restrain him from going in
Cab over engine trucks have existed for a very long time and have models that would absolutely have ~60% of their foot print be bed
Yeah lived in Appalachia, if you drove 1 or so hours out of the city, into the mountains you could find some wild shit.
I lived an hour away from a “church” that did shit like snake handling. They did not talk about their sect to strangers and were generally very wary of anyone not in their cult. Very strange people. Sorry you had to live through that.
Yeah we had a big quiverfull church not far from where I used to live. They were in a cycle of being in the news every few years for how they promote their flock to get on government assistance to afford more kids. People making six figure incomes were getting a variety of benefits because they had over a dozen kids, in two cases two dozen kids. This would piss people, garner calls for legal changes to stop this abuse, bring up how they are exactly the type of people who want to scare people with “welfare queen” stories, etc.
For a couple generations, the pumping out children mandate made it grow. However, around the third generation they started seeing a steep decline in parishionership. Basically the founding members’ kids weren’t nearly as willing to stay in this cult, and by their grand children’s generation, their birthrate wasn’t enough to replace their flock. By the time their great grand kids’ generation came around (current time) they were quickly dwindling in numbers. Now every time their welfare stuff hits the news they now have interviews with people who cut their families off, and left the cult, being interviewed about how insane they are.
From what I have been able to find, this seems to be the general timeline of these “super family” sects. They burn themselves out, and as time time progresses, the burnout comes more, and more, quickly. So the long term prospects of the baby factory faiths isn’t good.
i think it is older than that now isn’t it? I happened in 2016, i thought it came to the news in like 2019 or 2020… then again, life is like a blur to me, so…
They will just create a different one, like the atheists that are homophobic have.
