I'm just pointing out the inconsistency between their *actions* and the *reasons* they give for their actions.
If they are truly worried about human abuse, why are they not focused on where's it's really happening in the world, be it abroad or in their back yard?
Do you really think that the worse abuse of people going on in the United States is David Miscavige slapping one of his junior staff members?
Do you really?
You say there's worse abuses going on in the United States ( or their "back yard" ) than that?
Well, why aren't they protesting that?
Why aren't they attacking and criticizing that instead of spending hours on ARS attacking a body of data?
Scientology critics say they are trying to protect people, well, why aren't they doing something to help those who are being hurt the worse?
Could the reason they don't be because they really don't care about people but are doing what they are doing for some other reason?
Could it be they are just saying that to justify attacking Scientology when the real reason they attack Scientology is they feel threatened by the idea of people getting helped and getting stronger from the use of Scientology and Dianetic auditing and training?
