Someone designed this.

Then someone approved it for production.

Then someone printed it.

Then someone bought it and attached it to their car.

Decal on the back of a van or truck window that shows a heart and a bone with words that read, "I my dog".

Does the owner love the dog or does the owner bone the dog?

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

People, all people, should be treated fairly and humanely and have the right to a basic level of existence - including food, shelter, water, and medical care.

If you start talking to me about Dexter, I need you to clarify whether you're talking about the vigilante serial killer or the animated kid with the laboratory because I'm ambi-dexter-ous
