Or being decent, God-fearing Catholics (my diocese has benefits that beat out what any teacher's union has without any pressure or unionization).

Too bad Ireland decided to quit being Catholic about this or they could protest and use the Good Friday Agreement as leverage against it, but instead they are probably silently rooting it on.

Well given the abuse scandal and cover up I doubt Ireland as a whole will ever advocate anything Catholic again. At this point it's the evangelicals who is leading the charge in the culture fight from now on.

Nothing says “good Catholics” like a company that commits at least three (of four) sins that cry out to God for justice.

Fun Story about it

Apparently we needed to circle our recitation TA's name, which of course i have no idea. Lucky me though a friend of mine, that happened to be in my same reci was standing in the line to turn in our tests and I peek over her shoulder to see which TA we had and circled who she did. when we turned them in we were talking, and i told her about that and she looked like a deer in the headlights and told me she had no idea who our TA was and she guessed. Well, if she's wrong we'll both be docked five points.

Ya Walmart kinda sucks. I secondhand know someone who was forced to work in the freezer section and got pneumonia so bad there is permanent damage to his lungs, and after that they still made him work in the freezers.

Also not to pull away from Walmart, but imagine if you had a State's government act that way. *cough*Nebraska*cough*

Walmart does kinda suck. It's a decent first job, and the pay is alright, but the computer system is a joke (3 weeks to be able to update my availability through it is what they claimed, but it took over a month), it's near impossible to effectively get ahold of management for anything... and more.

"Company policy" is that workers in my former team (which included more physically involved labor at least half the time) would get a break every two hours, but once they cancelled our first break and postponed our second/lunch because we "didn't finish something fast enough" even though we had half the workers you'd normally expect for that task. There are other similar experiences I have had but that one sticks out the most. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of people working there who have made poor choices and gotten themselves there, but there are plenty of honest and hardworking people neglected and taken advantage of as well, which is what I noticed with some of the full-timers I worked with.

I got tired of it over time and quit after about four months. I felt bad for quitting on the one manager I really did enjoy having as a manager, but I don't regret quitting one bit. Now I work more locally and with less hours and a varying pay due to tips, but I am enjoying my job a lot more now, both physically and mentally.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. (Got sidetracked while filing through puppets)

Its that time of year when street preachers come onto my Uni's campus, and you know things get serious when the "Jesus drank Busch Light" sign is brought out.

It looks to me like you were just being an unproductive troll there. If you're hoping that you can do the same here, or that we'll support that nonsense, you'll be disappointed. We do have left-wing members here.

Heh, that's going to go badly.

Yeah, it did :)

German synod plans to be vetted by controversial lay group, not Vatican

The plan for a “binding synodal process” recently approved by the German bishops will be sent to a controversial lay group for amendment and approval, CNA has learned.

On Sept. 25, the German bishops’ conference concluded a three-day plenary session at which bishops debated and voted to adopt statutes for the creation of a Synodal Assembly in partnership with the Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK).

According to senior sources in the German bishops’ conference, those statutes, the text of which has not yet been released, will now be passed to the ZdK for review and approval. The group’s consideration of the plans includes the opportunity for the committee’s membership to amend the text before voting to adopt the statutes.

The more I here about what is happening in the German Church it becomes ever more clear that there is something sinister happening. This Central Committee of German Catholics is exerting influence over the German Church, which they shouldn't even have, and are pushing an agenda that's way out of step with Church teaching. They, with the backing of the German Bishops leadership, have ignored the warnings of both the Vatican and the Pope and it is leading to somewhere terrible for the Church as a whole.

This article is so horrendously misleading:
https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/jul/10/100-fossil-fuel-companies-investors-responsible-71-global-emissions-cdp-study-climate-change?fbclid=IwAR1WK6zngstBI9rUnQvvwUSzZH2AziMLl5PTssrATzGav3dN4KEje7H7f84

I saw it online being used to argue that corporations are almost exclusively responsible for global warming, but the Guardian totally misrepresents the issue with the headline. If you actually bother to understand the numbers it is only saying that 71% of emissions over the last 30 years are produced by the oil/gas/coal extracted by 100 fossil fuel companies and then sold/used by other companies/people, which is painfully obvious. I have, for some years now, become utterly distrustful of any public statistics and tired of how people accept raw (misrepresented and fudged) numbers as the best form of argument.
