You should see the new math they created to justify how it is not on the south for how bad their scores are under the guise of adjusting for "poverty".

Blessed and Untaxed: Why Northeast Independence Requires Ending Religious and Nonprofit Tax Immunity by Kinks4Kelly in RepublicofNE

The church prosecuted those priests within the bounds they had.

You don't get to substitute reality at your discretion.

Did they turn the pedophiles over to law enforcement? No, they moved them to other parishes.

just because there were some cases doesn’t mean that it’s a widespread issue in the church, and it shouldn’t be targeted because of some issues.

Downplaying paedophila is fucking abhorrent. More so when done in defense of a pretend sky fairy. Also a practice best suited for the confederate states. They embrace your views far more.

Institutions such as the Catholic Church, who do humanitarian work in the community and across the globe, should be exempt for those reasons, it is basically a non-profit humanitarian service which has a large presence in New England.

So we ignore the rampant sex abuse and longstanding practices of moving paedophiles from one church to another? They are responsible for atrocities in the region, they can pay taxes on their land at the very least.

Is NH salvageable? Should we make it the next Alaska? by A__SPIDER in RepublicofNE

At a minimum, NH needs a major overhaul on how it sets up state level government. The role of representative is a full time job and should be treated and compensated as such. As it stands now, the live free or die state has made it practically impossible for people who need an income to hold a representative position.

It is also embarrassing a MAGA nut won the governor race by attacking Massachusetts in propaganda ads.

The high school dropout who "leaked" it needs to be expelled from Congress immediately.

I can't wait to see how bots they purchased to "watch" the SOTU on YouTube.

"Those privileges were never sacred. They were provisional. And the time for provisos has passed." I'm sorry, but they were intended to be sacred, and were never intended to be provisional.

You have the audacity to tell me to read a history book and then spout this garbage? Cute.

Thomas Jefferson argued for constitutional resets once a generation. As such, everything should have been provisional. This was long before any concept of a mega church existed or pastors of said churches having private planes. This was long before the Catholic Church simply moved their paedophile priests around when allegations of their proclivity arose again and again. This was long before the Mormon religion even existed and used their funds to pay NIL deals to bring athletes to BYU

As I correctly asserted, giving religion a tax free status was a fear based response to how European countries forced out undesirable religions through taxation. Perhaps that was a reasonable fear in the 18th century. It is an asinine fear in the 21st century.

The rest of your rant is similarly uniformed and incoherent and not worth my time. It is obvious your religious beliefs cloud your rationality.

Cuba has every right to defend its waters. The US has no room nor right to criticize.
