You gotta be pretty evil to need a law that protects you from having to divulge child sexual abuse (or any serious crime).

I don't really agree with the abusive relationship analogy. Things only change if there are people there who want it to change. While I understand and sympathise with the desire to leave, I have the utmost respect for those who choose to stay and try to make/ be the change needed.

I do wonder how much is the breed and how much is shitty owners being attracted to perceived scary breeds. My guess would be a bit of both.

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.

honestly disappointed they'll get double digits, never mind into triple.

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 remember the day after the referendum, an economist on the news said that once we leave we would spend 10 years regretting it, 10 years begging to be let back in, and another 10 years trying to meet the standards to be let in. Only 3 years in and I think about that a lot. Mostly because I consider it both depressing and optimistic.

Which is why I don't agree with the analogy. Because that is not the solution when it comes to political ideologies.

History is full of terrible ideologies. Things like women's right to vote, and segregation. If people who disagreed and who had the means to leave all did, these likely would still be laws in the US.

I mean, yeah...

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

If the internet has taught me anything, it is that the cat thinks the knight is shit at killing dragons.

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!

OMG!!! I have looked for that song for so long!! When I was a teen someone played that on a drama club bus and no one has ever believed me that the song exists!

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

Well I'm glad I managed to hear about it before they do! LA DX was my first Zelda game. Time to relive some memories in HD!

It's just a meme that is used when someone stereotypes a group of people (not intending to offend), but the stereotype is is accurate.

basically "how dare you stereotype us, but also yes".

At a guess, I'd imagine it would be the no "false idol" thing.

Too soon! ;-;

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.

One of my friends girlfriend does this on occasion. I recently discovered this to my horror.
