 Pacifism kicks ass!  Posts: 3,064  |
DesChatsRouge, I would not be surprised if it mimmicked the suffrage movement.
I got really annoyed while listening to NPR on Friday. On "Day To Day", they interviewed Maggie Gallagher of the so-called National Organization for Marriage. Here's a link to the story: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.p...toryId=90517600 She said that she was especially upset because the California supreme court said that sexual orientation should be treated just like race under California state law. Meaning that gay marriage should be legalized in the same way that interracial marriage was legalized a number of decades ago. Ol' Maggie was upset because this means that the government is saying that "people like me who think marriage should be between a husband and wife are exactly like biggots who opposed interracial marriage." Well, no shit, Sherlock! |

I wonder if the Gay marriage movement will be like Womens Sufferage. Will we have to get a state by state start, then take the rest of the country by the balls?

I really wish that had been an option for me when I was sexually assaulted. I could have come forward when I was more emotionally ready and been able to face him in court. I think it's a very good idea.

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

QUOTE(vixen_within @ May 4 2008, 11:45 PM)  Lesbos islanders protest use of name by gay women a homophobia so wide and deep.. I wonder if the campaign is popular or if this is the opinion of a minority group. I wonder about the timing too, and what they really think they're going to accomplish. People all over the world have been using this term for decades, but suddenly now's the time to take action? Okay. -------------------- |

Yeah, I'm really disturbed by this one too- I mean, that's 24 years of your life, ruined. Lived in hell and gone. I just can't even wrap my mind around how awful that must be.
I'm really suspicious of the mother/grandmother here, how she never questioned him or anything. One article I read said that he told his wife that he designed machines in the basement or something and sold the designs to companies and he couldn't ever be interrupted and she could never go in the basement. I'm sure he was abusing her, too, and that's why she was so complacent, but it just makes me ill to think about that going on in your own house. He's 73, he'll be dead soon anyway, but to think the maximum they can give him is 15 years just boggles the mind. I can't think of any punishment that would be awful enough to feel like some justice has been served here. -------------------- You went to school where you were taught to fear and to obey, be cheerful, fit in, or someone might think you're weird.

I have got to stop reading about this story because it is really disturbing me...it has been in my mind since it broke. My heart is bleeding for this poor woman...it is so, so horribly unbelievable. This woman has lived in a Hell, literally. Trapped undergound alone for years with her only "company" her rapist father (he does not deserve the title father, really) then forced to bear his children and have some of them taken away from her and others she has to try her best to raise in a dungeon...sounds like she loved them so very much and tried her best despite the circumstances.
I want this man's balls ripped off and then he should be locked in his own dungeon to rot until he dies. But that would be too good for him. I've been trying to find information regarding sending money or well wishes to her and her children, but there isn't any information on that yet. Seriously tho, I've got to stop reading about this because it's giving me nightmares. |

Isn't PTSD more like a rollercoaster of feelings? Whereas locking your relatives in the basement for several decades and sexually abusing them is more like the cold, consistent behaviour of a psychopath?

PTSD my ASS! I work with many people who have PTSD, and no one, fucking no one locks their own kids in a dungeon and maintains an incestuous relationship with them.

I heard from the giant yesterday when he told me about it that the old man is trying to blame PTSD from WWII for it. What really shocked me is that he had the gall to put a renter right above the dungeon for years!
I hadn't realized it'd been all over the news, so sorry if I'm being Captain Obvious here. I mainly get my news from The Daily Show and they haven't said anything about it, although I missed last night's show, so they might have. -------------------- "After all those hours of concentrated effort, I come home pure as the driven snow." -Gidget

Diva, this has been all over the news recently. He threatened to gas the family. The wife claims she didn't know about this (a dungeon in her own fucking house???) three of the children had never been outside the house. They'd never been outside period.

This man kidnapped his daughter, locked her in a cell in his basement, and had 7 kids with her.

The media needs to stop publicizing this church. It gives them more reason to continue protesting. It's the sama logic with gangs. By not publishing the gang name, you stop giving the gang legitimacy.
Those people are fucked. and a Hitler doll, neo-nazis everywhere rejoice, who does that??? *head, meet desk* -------------------- Hatred does not cease in this world by hating, but by not hating; this is an eternal truth. --- Buddah, The Dhammapada

They're at it again . . .
http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/articles...s/newstory7.txt What did these kids have to do with god hating fags?! It was a car accident where children DIED! All because God hates Maryland. HOW DO YOU START A MINISTRY BASED ON ONE SINGLE LINE IN THE BIBLE?! They ignore all the rest of Leviticus in favor of that one little line. I wonder if Phelps knows that by his standards, he's going to hell for being clean shaven as well as an asshole.

I think that one reasons girls are reaching puberty earlier, is that puberty is triggered by body mass, so there is a correlation between childhood obesity and early puberty.
