Homework is legal torture.
legalized weekly torture
Church sermons (duh!).
How come I'm not ever allowed by law to even throw a mild punch or to yell a threat or insult at someone, but yet any 0%!$&#!@ starched-suited dumb-a** preacher is perfectly "free 'n' welcome" to openly practice legalized weekly torture to his little heart's content --- bellowing all kinds of horrible derogatory criticisms at the members of his congregation about how awful/evil/selfish they are, and morbidly/angrily warning them of the catastrophic "hell 'n' brimstone" that "The Father" will hurl at them if they don't obediently and unquestioningly comply with His Directives???
