The only reason Southern Baptism isn't the worst sect is because prosperity gospel still exists.

Bush was actually a fairly skilled retail politician and has a certain, low-cunning about him. Liberals constantly underestimated him.

he actually ran a pretty good campaign for leader when he was elected leader

he's been much more inept as "leader" of the opposition, though that is at least partially connected to basically all his colleagues hating and fearing him and everything he stands for

he's bad at leading the opposition because their parliamentarians all have pictures of dear leader tony blair in pride of place on their walls to which they supplicate and speak prayers to when they wake and before they sleep and dear leader went to the media to say the labour party should die before it lets corbyn have any influence on their policy

i dont know what industry you work in but a lot of companies especially in southern united states violate FCPA with mexican officials and in general it is good practice to insulate from liability by showing "see we have internal controls against fcpa violations like annual training!"

american baptists post the second great awakening, that is pro-slavery baptist congregations that transitioned to pro-segregation and then anti-abortionism because they are actually just institutions for white dominionism (largely but not entirely embodied in the SBC), have basically nothing at all to do with baptists of any stripe in europe

any other stripe of baptist would scoff at or find hilarious the idea of a central baptist authority that dictates what views a Real, True Christian has but that's the entire role of the SBC

I'm open to importing American baptists, put them in cages and hang those on the towers of various cathedrals to establish a common trait between the sects.

corbyn's made more silly mistakes than strictly necessary, though one might expect as much from an old man thrust into a position he never seriously thought he might have to deal with. specifically, he's chosen the wrong spots to stand his ground and made several compromises he probably shouldn't have

of course, now the PLP has pretty much destroyed any chance labour had at punishing the tories for the whole brexit fiasco and seriously inflamed tensions by launching this ridiculous coup attempt without any kind of real plan beyond relying on a notoriously stubborn man caving under pressure
