It's from Wrongfully Accused https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120901/

You and I know that our criteria and standards of musical performance are very different, I'd say radically so. I'm glad you are finding new recordings that you think are great, even if there's not a chance that I would agree. I guess I'll leave it at that. Define greatness in fewer than 250 words :D

Everyone involved has a stake in buying into this foolishness: orchestra management, the players, the conductor himself, obviously, and the audience too, which feels gratified to have its patronage rewarded with the privilege of eavesdropping on a sacred ritual, the ineffable communion of souls tha...

Can't help wondering if she's a relative of Nathan. The bio gives no clue, one way or the other.

Depends on how one pronounces her name. 'Stine' or 'Steen'

I think you misunderstood me, though jserraglio did not. We'd have a healthy largely heterosexual priesthood if they were simply allowed to marry and lead normal middle-class lives. All other denominations and separate religions permit this. There is an old and very unfair Catholic saying that "a p...

Who will be held responsible in the end and how will justice be served?

living_stradivarius

Allowing priests to marry, IMO, would solve 90% of the problem if not more. I doubt it. Unless you mean allowing them to marry underaged kids. It's ultimately a question of causation. Is the priesthood selecting for a subset of the population predisposed to pedophilia? Or are the rules and restrict...

The fact that they spell Car with a K is just inviting the use of the ethnic slur here.

There isn’t much more that can be done policy-wise, lest we make patting someone on the back inappropriate faculty behavior. What needs to change, if anything, is the culture of sexual repression so that it can no longer be used to mask abuses of power. Fortunately we have already made progress in t...

More like our young adults need more open sexual education and society should stop being so skittish talking openly about these matters.

Are dumb animals now to enjoy better protection from sexual abuse than our own no-longer-child but not-quite-adult kids?

So unless you have no older persons in your family who are not independently wealthy, don't you talk to me, mister, about the young paying for the old.

If everything were dependent on one criterion, we would never have had Barack Obama as President of the United States.

People seem not to understand the immense power these folks have over us. It even goes over the head of shoot-em-up crazies.

That's actually quite interesting, and quite odd. I guess those types of people would have a hard time identifying them dressed in normal clothes?
