ROFLOL

That is like asking: "after numerous accounts of robbery, rape and murder by black people that has been reported, WHY continue letting your children intermingle with them?"

And I bet to you my question see bigoted, unfair, and maybe racists. My actual question is what is the difference between what you asked and what I asked?

We are both speaking in generalities about a small number of bad apples in a larger group.

Except that the Catholic church is an organized society, able to communicate and hide paedophiles, while (contrary to popular belief) all black people don't know each other and don't organize their robbery, rape and murder.

Spoken like a person who is 'in the know' from many years of working in the communities you are speaking of.

Oh wait that s not right. A pope resigned because they couldn't keep these criminals under wraps, and anytime you refer to the behavior of 'all people' youre appealing to a stereotype rather than to individuals. which is the point of my observation. Otherwise explain how you know 'all black people don't organize their rape robbery and murders. What makes black robbers so much more disorganized than white or yellow robbers?

Are you just being obtuse and contrarian like usual, or are you really positing the existence of a large, organized criminal syndicate made up of all black people everywhere that controls global black crime? Dodgy

I'm not referring to the behaviour of all people. I'm referring to the behaviour of the Catholic church. You know, they way they systematically moved paedophile priests around to hide them. If you know that about the Catholic church, and you still follow them and support them, you are a sick individual.

If you were talking about priests then why did you mention black people inability to organize criminal activity? Not to mention I pointed out the pope resigned because he was himself faced criminal charges for trying to hide these priests. Why didn't you address the failure of your arguement or provide some sort of evidence to the contrary?

I don't know what you were talking about, but the rest of us were talking about priests. Brokenquill wasn't accusing random Catholics of being paedophiles.....

Really? Cause that's not the reason I heard.....
And even if that was true, so what? He only resigned for hiding paedophiles? Is that it? Where is the punishment? Where is the jail time? Why don't we have a big ass list of all the priests the catholic church has hidden over the years?

Do remind me, what was my argument again?

Evidence for what?
