So why's oxycodone called "Hillbilly Meth?".

Lots of exmos "felt the magic" before the truth came along. But as you said, there's nothing left to refute. It's like learning there's no Santa Clause all over again. Should members also go back to believing in a literal Santa?

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke Either these "good men" are doing nothing (about the glaring truths staring them in the face) or they are evil. Either way isn't good. It's a huge irony that the "good men" in Mormonism are apostates.

That does suck, and he just got his name back not too long ago. He had to change his name to a symbol to get out of a bad contract (it worked) and the contract finally ran out. I suspect that being vegan may have killed him.

Most likely, hospitality led to the rape. You don't drink alcohol without offering your guest some too. This hole in the Honor Code needs to be fixed. When somebody comes to your apartment, don't offer them any beverages or snacks.

"At the time, prosecutors argued that Randolph and Barney's alleged attacker were friends and members of the same Ghanian community in the area." At least the Daily Mail mentioned this. If the attacker was playing by Ghana's cultural rules, it's even more improbable that it was a date gone bad. It does make HCO look callous and vindictive. Deputy Randolph can thank himself for tur

I was raised on cartoon violence and it didn't make me a violent person at all. Porn is just cartoon sex.

You're on the verge of finding something greater. The question isn't "What if the Church is true?". It's "Why does it work in the first place?". I mean, it does some interesting things faith-wise. Yet, its foundation is complete BS. So, why it can do anything at all is a bit of a mystery. If you investigate that mystery, you'll certainly find something deeper. The Truth is

Yeah. Trying to help his buddy get some payback. He was friends with the rapist, according to a separate report.

Feeding their persecution complex would just be silly. From what I hear about Sarah Westerberg, the Title IV coordinator (an anonymous "insider" posted here), she's not exactly a shining beacon of empathy. Whoever put her in that position was asking for trouble. That's what sloppy due diligence gets you. Must have been the "warm fuzzy". If she is really involved in Honor

I'm fascinated with how the HCO really put their foot in it and still can't figure out what stinks.

"Pornography causes men (no mention of women in this case) to be disinterested in marriage." Did these guys graduate from 3rd grade? There are tons of studies on the social pressures causing guys not to marry.

Church officials have had time to think and respond with a typical institutional "F--k You". TBMs, look at your religion. When did being right become more important than being good? Hearts like flint.

"Our secondary focus is fugging payback". From the article: "In all Honor Code proceedings, the university strives for fairness, sensitivity and compassion, taking into account all mitigating facts and circumstances." That's their best Big Brother lingo. Tell it to all the rape victims who were punished or expelled in the past. There's your "compassion".

It's because you've been sold the "American Dream". It's called that because you have to be asleep to believe it. You're supposed to have kids and a mortgage so you can be a slave to the ruling class. So, they push the marriage (or hook-up) paradigm on you in pop culture. But okay, suppose you don't want to be lonely. You have to raise your vibration first because that's what you wan

No, but maybe it would have helped. It's just a coming of age thing, I guess. Religion is a little more intense than Santa though. Nobody ever killed people over Santa Clause or the tooth fairy. I guess children wouldn't think of the inquisition. Bless their hearts.

Moroni 9:9 "... For behold, many of the daughters of the Lamanites have they taken prisoners; and after depriving them of that which was most dear and precious above all things, which is chastity and virtue--" Obviously the Lamanites had nothing on Joseph Smith.

It's crazy when you realize how much you'd been had. It reminds me of a scene in the cartoon "Rabbit Hood", back when cartoon violence was fashionable, where the Sheriff of Nottingham is building a house in the king's royal garden when it dawns on him that Bugs Bunny fooled him.
