(7,334 posts)when the bar was also the restaurant, Post Office, convenience store, coffee shop, local gas pump, and sittin' bench.
Seriously, at a few of the smaller pubs I frequented there were usually a few kids there, some the owners', some the patrons'.
Of coarse they were not allowed to sit at the bar itself, and never after 9 or 10 at night. Had to stay in the 'dining area'. No one minded, and I'm sure the kids got a great education playing poker.

(44,738 posts)Why should people take their children to church? To be groomed? To be taught that if you dont go to church youll burn in hell for eternity? To be trained to take as much money and give it to the church when you go? To be brainwashed to oppose liberty and Justice FOR ALL? To be indoctrinated to hate the other? To have children when you marry another church goer and to turn your children over to the church for the never ending cycle of grooming to continue?
I was born, raised, groomed to be Catholic. Served as an altar boy (or else.) I escaped the clutches of the Church of Rome.

(12,532 posts)I escaped from Catholicism but saw the hypocrisy of the religion.
Their was a priest at our church when I was 12 who was always totally drunk, staggering around, falling down drunk, day in and day out. And he smelled of it all the time. Yet no one did anything about him.
Then one day in Catechism class, he passed out and wouldn't wake up. We kids called for an ambulance then went in search for some adults. It was an evening class. The ambulance arrived before any adults did.
About 2 days later he died of liver failure in the hospital.
This is the quality of priests and preachers that are supposed to set a moral example. And the fact that people just ignored his obvious problems and didn't seem to care if they left underage children in his care.
Religion is a scam.

(44,738 posts)Rant and rave about gays grooming children. Aint nobody grooms like the Church of Rome. Catholics in a county down the road spent almost a million dollars a few years ago on a new mansion for their priest. I heard it caused a minor uproar amongst the congregation. Of course the priest started fundraising bigly after the open house.
