Reply to comment by More_Cowbell8 in LDS Church donates water to Great Salt Lake by kreals

I don't think it's the intention to have them from the get go. I think it's an unfortunate "ants a picnic" phenomenon. Like how house parties are great fun, but eventually you have to stop having them because inevitably some frat bro asshole fills the toilet with kitty litter (thanks again Lonny, you prick)

A churches main goal is blind, unquestioning obedience. Mainly for the purposes of profit,, but they'll swear it's for the Prophet. That is it's own scam in and of itself, it needs no further shenanigans. But it also takes a real amoral, narcissistic asshole to make a career out of duping ignorant saps full time. So it's not like they'd let morality or even legality get in the way of fucking the congregation, financially or physically. They probably dont see much of a difference.

The church can't really purge themselves of this kind of person without shutting down most of the rest of the scam. And there's too much money in it to just walk away. So they do what they can to cover it up and use PR to make it seem like they're not just letting it all continue.

Reply to Gianni Infantino says his 2016 FIFA presidential win was inspired by visit to Rwanda’s genocide memorial as he is elected for second term by MedicalExperience514

I want him to award it to North Korea, just to see if he can get away with it. It really doesn't matter people will still watch the matches even if it had a execution of half time show.

At a certain point the fans have to take some of the slack for still supporting FIFA. The last one had bribery, slave labor, no beer (unless you are very rich), couldn't wear a rainbow, a ton of human rights violations and they rolled back any worker rights after it was over. He will keep on doing whatever he wants, the fans have made it perfectly clear there is no line he can't cross and they will still support (money) and watch. Don't complain if ya watched the World Cup, you supported his actions.
