Open Question: Muslims from Australia and other Western countries, help me out here?

Long story short, a boy at my school casually told me today that he finds homosexuality unnatural, because God did not intend men to have sex. He also believes homosexuality is a choice. This does not surprise me in the least but I do think it is wrong. After arguing with him about this for some time I asked if he thought a certain clause of Sharia Law was correct, specifically the clause which essentially states that if a woman is raped it is almost always her fault. He said, in all seriousness, that he did believe that to be true. At this point I could not bear to talk to him anymore and walked away. It is my belief that prejudice of any description is the worst possible thought that any human can have. We do have quite a lot of prejudice toward Muslims and people who "look like Muslims" (aka Arabian people) in Australia and I have always spoken strongly against this racism and prejudice wherever I see it. I have two questions for Muslims living in countries where laws permit homosexual relationships and most people believe (as does the Law) that raping a woman is a crime that deserves severe punishment of the attacker and the care of the victim. First, please, please, please tell me that there are those among you that do not think homosexuality is unnatural and that rape is the fault of the victim? Second, if you do believe this, then why on Earth do you want to live in a country that goes against this? I would never be able to live in a country that followed Sharia Law, so how can you stand to live in one that doesn't? Hopefully no one will have to answer the second question. My faith in humanity needs some restoring. more

Open Question: Much evidence of violent gay protests?

When I asked a similar question, many people said, "Where's the evidence? Where's the proof? The link?" Well here are PLENTY of videos for you to enjoy where gays beat people up, vandalize their cars, homes, churches, steal property, and even incite riots! Oh, there is even one where police have to protect some Christians against a gay mob who is screaming, "We are going to kill you!" and pouring hot coffee on the Christians. Enjoy! I guess my question is, can you honestly say that gay protesters don't commit crimes of hate? **THE VIDEOS WITH DESCRIPTIONS** Here's a video where you can watch violent and angry gay protesters harass a little old lady and a reporter or you can jump to 2:30 to see the little old lady actually get ATTACKED and beaten by the gay protesters: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD1AITHS2Wc Here's one where gay vandals spray painted a church; you can jump to 0:30 to see it: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7389653748427730869# Here is a BRUTAL one where a gay rioter steals a young woman's Bible prior to striking her in the head, then proceeding to kick her on the ground-- Jump to 2:00 ..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqCXONxwqPs In this one, police have to protect Christians from a gay mob who surrounds them and threatens them with death, saying, "We are going to kill you!" The gay protesters poured hot coffee on the Christian group before police could extradite them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdvvkVNS_zo Here's one showing about a hundred instances of property damage done by gay activitists; jump to 2:10 to see vicious damage to a car AND a gay activist painted a SWASTIKA onto a yard sign! -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUZUpBvS4n8 Hidden camera catches gay guys stealing Prop 8 signs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Mf4Q5xftSQ Gay writes profanity on guy's brand new car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJH4aMuoJpw Riot police protect Prop 8 supporters from angry gay mob + leader of gay hate group boycotts California economy; gay activist jumps on police car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-a1287QwkU THOUSANDS of police officers required to contain angry gay mobs after passing of Prop 8: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agsZ5wtBgH0 Jump to 0:53 on this one where a gay protester set a Book of Mormon on fire and left it at the steps of a church; police investigate the hate crime: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn1pFY-A4oII hope that is enough to satisfy all the people protecting the gays and saying they are not a violent community.Caribou- I asked, "Can you honestly say that the gay community is peaceful?" more

Open Question: Can my employer allow an accused rapist to return to work if he post bail?

Two days ago, a coworker broke into a former lover's apartment and attempted to sexually assault her. She called 911, he ran, and was arrested a day later. He is now in jail, charged with two felonies and two misdemeanors. Our manager is very close to this individual, and will no doubt allow him to return to work if he posts bail and is released from jail.There are several females who work with me, and none of us are comfortable with working with someone who has committed such a violent crime against a woman, or anyone for that matter. Can he really be allowed back at work? And is there any thing that we can do to prevent him from returning, even if he has not been convicted yet?Wow, thanks for the attitudes and the moronic answers. Of course I do not think that he is going to just run around raping people; however, I know the girl in question, and she is not making this up. He forced his way into her home, ripped her clothes, hit her, and tried to rape her! I have no idea what his motive is and if he reallt did it, but the evidence is stacked against him, and I am not, nor are the women I work with, the type to behave like a jerk and assume that every woman that says she is raped is lying. Furthermore, if he committed such a violent crime, then yes, he could be a threat to his co-workers. He has access to our files, and therefore has access to our addresses and other personal information. For all I know, he could be innocent, but then again, there is a stronger possibility that he is guilty. As long as that possibility exists, I think it is ridiculous for a man or woman to think that I am being irrational in my discomfort with him returning to work. more

Open Question: Women convicted of rape?

I’m researching sexism as it relates to crimes, specifically rape and assault, with an emphasis on domestic abuse. Does anyone know of any women (other than Lorena Bobbit) who were convicted of rape or assault against a partner? And please no rants in one direction or the other. I just want an answer to the question.Also, I'm looking for examples where there is an absence of male influence. I.e., ones where the woman actually committed the crime, not just passively allowed her husband or partner to do as he pleased.Yes, it is physically possible. a 45-year-old woman can rape a nine year old. There are sex toys, there are ways to stimulate the male organ, it's possible and it happens. more

Open Question: Why do Blacks care more about hate crimes than Black on Black crimes?

What I mean is take an incident like James Byrd murder in Texas or Megan Williams rape in West Virginia, Blacks all around the country were upset at each of those crimes because white people who used the n-word were involved. The reality is when each of those crimes occurred, in majority black cities like say Detroit or Memphis, more black men were killed by black men and more black women were raped by black men yet you didnt see any blacks who were nationally outraged at it. I mean to me it seems from incidents like those, the message is if a white racist isn't involved, black people don't care. I mean to me, the reality is blacks make up a much larger percentage of the victims of violent crime where over 90% of the perps involved are black as well. My point is given the occurence of black on black attacks of sorts, why do blacks still care more about hate crimes against them on a national level than they do the immediate danger which is often other blacks. more

Open Question: Liberals: was there anything good about the 50s? Conservatives: anything bad about the 50s?

If I bring up the 1950s, even devoid of an actual context, for example, I just write down 1955 on a piece of paper for no reason, a person of the left would probably give me a lecture about what a horrible time that was: gays had to remain in the closet, they faced arrest for soliciting in bathrooms and their bars were often raided and they could not divulge their secret to their employers or their families and they were openly ridiculed in popular entertainment; women who couldn't rely on attractiveness to get a husband to take care of them financially were sent out into a workforce that discriminated against them; Blacks, especially in the South, suffered under Segregation and other forms of cruelty; a Catholic was not deemed acceptable as presidential material until 1960 and there was great suspicion about Catholics; pregnant women smoked, in fact, nearly everyone smoked cigarettes, movies were censored, people abused alcohol as it was socially acceptable to have a three-martini lunch, abortion was illegal, women who were victims of domestic violence usually had little recourse; people in unhappy marriages were expected to stay in them no matter what....a lot of bad things back then, but, but.... If I bring up the 50s to a conservative, I often hear: the Black illegitimacy rate was lower, Black-on-Black crime was lower; a person could sleep in Central Park and be left alone; people cared about their apperance and were clean cut and dressed up; teachers had more respect; the military had greater respect; there was no political correctness; women weren't as confused about their gender roles, college was less expensive, cars were more solid, you weren't afraid to send your kids out at night, you could hitchhike safely from LA to NYC for the most part, educational standards were higher, drug use was considered shameful and not glorified in song and movies; movies, while many may have been sexist, were more acceptable for family viewing as violence was less graphic and they didn't feature nudity, America was more respected around the World, the economy was robust and Ike was a fine president..... I don't know, it sounds as though there were good and bad things about the 50s. I would hate to live in an era where the rights of others were restricted, where Cold-War paranoia dominated and bland conformity was the norm, although I would love to go back to where neighborhoods were a bit more communal, people dressed a bit nicer than they do today, television and movies were a bit more family oriented than they are now, where we had a good, stable president and where inner cities were less violent and school shootings were rare and I could sleep in a park safely and hitchhike safely and send my kids out late at night. I don't know, sounds like there were good things about the 50s but there were also a lot of horrible things about that era. I think it's necessary to look at both. more

Open Question: is this really gross?

I moved into a new share house and the male in the house ( the female is never home to do this) but OMG "someone" is leaving their pubic hair all over my soap. clearly ive got new soap now, but even when I moved it to a new soap holder and replaced the defiled soap... "the same person then rubbed it again on their genitals. Ive noticed that my toothbrush and towel are constantly wet - even when Ive put out a new towel that hasn't been used yet! its happening on a daily basis and Ive noticed that the guy in question doesn't actually own a toothbrush - and he's certainly not using his own towels. since moving into this place 3 weeks ago I have since discovered that - 1) I suddenly have meiosis ( thrush) on my vagina 2) My mouth has been riddles with mouth sores And I also feel violated as a woman, and am unsure if this is a personal and sexual attack against myself. Is this a crime? Is it considered assault to put ones penis onto another persons personal belongings? Im really grossed out and angry!! more

Open Question: If my flatemate used my soap and gave me a genital fungal infection, should I seek legal advice?

Open Question: Is it considered assult/sexual harrasment to clean ones penis on their flatmates belongings-towels/soap etc?

Open Question: What are pro-lifers trying to get from their POV?

How can you be pro life and not try to change the world by being against war? Why not be against the death penalty? Why not be against poverty and starvation? Why are pro lifers worried about a woman's womb and a fetus or unborn baby? Why don't they start with those that are a live and once everybody in this world has enough to eat and no one is suffering from malnourishment and no one is homeless and there is peace and no war and no crime and no poverty then focus on the unborn?They should be solved before the baby is born because why should a baby born into a crime ridden war country to be drafted at 18 and die in the war or starve to death by age 5? more

Open Question: why are people so against racism towards blacks?

i mean come on, have you checked the crime reports lately? checked how much of a strain on public resources they use (i.e. through policing, public housing, social assistance payments? seen how many women are harassed by them? (im in highschool, see it all the time in class) more

Resolved Question: What do u think; Anonymous Group Distributes Home Addresses of Supposed "Illegal Aliens"?

Was their motive to get others to retaliate against these people they assume are illegal aliens? One person that is accused might be a state worker. what do you think? http://immigration.change.org/blog/category/anti-immigrant_hate_crimes Anonymous Group Distributes Home Addresses of Supposed "Illegal Aliens" An anonymous group identifying itself only as "Concerned Citizens of the United States" yesterday sent law enforcement and media outlets a list of 1,300 individuals they are accusing of being "illegal aliens." News outlets report that virtually every surname on the list is Latino, and the document includes home addresses, telephone numbers, and birth dates. In an extra creepy addition, it also includes the due dates of pregnant women and the names and birth dates of over 200 children. Disseminating this information is not only an invasion of privacy, it could put the lives of the named residents in danger, whether or not they are actually undocumented immigrants. While the letter that accompanied the list included the caveat that the group did not support violence, that seems like a weak defense when they're handing multiple media outlets the home addresses of individuals while making inflammatory remarks about "illegal aliens." Also unknown is how the "Concerned Citizens" complied their comprehensive list, which includes such personal details as a pregnant woman's due date. An investigation is already underway to determine whether a state worker was involved in providing the information, or if personal documents were stolen. Either act would be punishable by fines and prison time. more

Resolved Question: Would it change your opinion on the Madeleine McCann case to know?

that another little girl, her age and her looks, in Portugal very close to Praia da Luz, was led away by a strange man only 5 months before? Her parents stopped her and saved her. The police didn't investigate because they claims no crime was committed. That the detective that was originally in charge of her case accused another mother, a Portuguese woman, of killing her daughter to cover up an inappropriate sexual relationship and feeding the body to pigs, that there was no evidence of either, and that the case is now considering injust by Amnesty International? That he was convicted of covering up the woman's torture? That that torture is what led to her confession? That the only evidence against her that was proven is that confession?Alan - http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article1837778.ece It emerged yesterday that Portuguese police are now investigating an attempted abduction last December by a Moroccan man of a girl with a passing resemblance to Madeleine. Carolina Santos, 3, was led away from the front of her parents’ café in Fonte de Louseiron, 30 miles from Praia da Luz, on Christmas Day. Her mother, Lina, 28, said: “I searched, and saw her some way away on the road with a man I took to be Moroccan. We started towards them, shouting, and Carolina stopped and turned towards us. He disappeared around the bend.” Mrs Santos reported the incident to police but was told they could not make a formal complaint as no crime had been committed. Information on the Joana Cipriano case is available at the Amnesty International website. Amaral was convicted in relation to that case. Liz, if you're interested in the case, check out pfa2.com for great discussion. more

Voting Question: When will people learn?

That rape is defined as penetration against the victim's will of a bodily orifice (vagina, anus, or mouth) by a penis or other part of the body, or by an object.

Resolved Question: Has Harrison Ford gone senile or just retarded?

“I’m very troubled … at the fact so many people in the United States carry guns. It obviously contributes greatly to the crime problems we have … gun laws should be strengthened.” So sayeth Indiana Jones, a.k.a. Harrison Ford, on location in Spain. And it is fair to say Ford’s view is that of our intellectual and cultural elite. But is it true? Is it really obvious that gun ownership and the carrying of concealed weapons by citizens “contributes greatly to the crime problems we have”? Where is the evidence? It does not exist. Indeed, all the evidence refutes that notion so dramatically it is astonishing that folks like Harrison Ford, a man of the world, can still believe and spout such nonsense. In 1995, Gary Kleck published in the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology of Northwestern Law School his now-famous paper, “Armed Resistance to Crime: The Prevalence and Nature of Self-Defense with a Gun.” Among its unchallenged assertions: Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals 2.5 million times a year or about 6,850 times every day. Of these 2.5 million self-defense uses of guns, more than 200,000 are by women defending themselves against sexual abuse. Often, a Saturday Night Special is a girl’s best friend. more

Resolved Question: R&S: what are some beneficial measures/penalties do you recommend that lessen/bring down the RAPE crimes ?

AMERICAN RAPE STATISTICS Somewhere in America, a woman is raped every 2 minutes, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. In 1995, 354,670 women were the victims of a rape or sexual assault. (NationalCrime Victimization Survey. Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Department of Justice, 1996.) Over the last two years, more than 787,000 women were the victim of a rape or sexual assault. (National Crime Victimization Survey. Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S.Department of Justice, 1996.) The FBI estimates that 72 of every 100,000 females in the United States wereraped last year. (Federal Bureau of Investigation, Uniform Crime Statistics, 1996.) SILENT VICTIMS : One of the most startling aspects of sex crimes is how many go unreported. The most common reasons given by women for not reporting these crimes are the belief that it is a private or personal matter and the fear of reprisal from the assailant. Approximately 28% of victims are raped by husbands or boyfriends, 35% by acquaintances, and 5% by other relatives. (Violence against Women, Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Dept. of Justice, 1994) The FBI estimates that only 37% of all rapes are reported to the police. U.S. Justice Department statistics are even lower, with only 26% of all rapes or attempted rapes being reported to law enforcement officials. In 1994-1995, only 251,560 rapes and sexual assaults were reported to law enforcement officials -- less than one in every three. (National Crime Victimization Survey, Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Department of Justice, 1996.) An overwhelming majority of rape service agencies believe that public education about rape, and expanded counseling and advocacy services for rape victims, would be effective in increasing the willingness of victims to report rapes to the police. (Rape in America, 1992, National Victim Center with Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center.) LIVING IN FEAR : According to the U.S. Department of Justice: (All statistics are taken from: Violenceagainst Women, Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Dept. of Justice, 1994.) One of every four rapes take place in a public area or in a parking garage. 31% of female victims reported that the offender was a stranger. 68% of rapes occur between the hours of 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. At least 45% of rapists were under the influence of alcohol or drugs. In 29% of rapes, the offender used a weapon. In 47% of rapes, the victim sustained injuries other than rape injuries. 75% of female rape victims require medical care after the attack. NOT JUST A FAMILY MATTER : Family violence and abuse are among the most prevalent forms of interpersonal violence against women and young children -- both boys and girls. The sexual abuse of a child should never be "just a family matter," but many children are afraid to report an incident to the police because the abusers are too often a family friend or relative. Approximately one-third of all juvenile victims of sexual abuse cases are children younger than 6 years of age. (Violence and the Family, Report of the American Psychological Association Presidential Task Force on Violence and the Family, 1996.) According to the Justice Department, one in two rape victims are under age 18; one in six are under age 12. (Child Rape Victims, 1992. U.S. Department of Justice.) FACE OF AMERICA : About 81% of rape victims are white; 18% are black; 1% are of other races. (Violence against Women, Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Dept. of Justice, 1994.) About half of all rape victims are in the lowest third of income distribution; half are in the upper two-thirds. (Violence against Women, Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Dept. of Justice, 1994.) There were 71 forcible rapes per 100,000 females reported to United States law enforcement agencies in 1996. 2 Data from the National Women's Study, a longitudinal telephone survey of a national household probability sample of women at least 18 years of age, show 683,000 women forcibly raped each year and that 84% of rape victims did not report the offense to the police.3 Using Uniform Crime Report data for 1994 and 1995, the Bureau of Justice Statistics found that of rape victims who reported the offense to law enforcement, about 40% were under the age of 18, and 15% were younger than 12.4 In a national survey 27.7% of college women reported a sexual experience since the age of fourteen that met the legal definition of rape or attempted rape, and 7.7% of college men reported perpetrating aggressive behavior which met the legal definition of rape.5 The National Crime Victimization Survey indicates that for 1992-1993, 92% of rapes were committed by known assailants.1 About half of all rapes and sexual assaults against women are committed by friends and acquaintances, and 26% are by intimate partners.1 Risk factors for perpetrating sexual violence include: early sexual experience (botUS: Soaring Rates of Rape and Violence Against Women http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2008/12/18/us-soaring-rates-rape-and-violence-against-women more

Resolved Question: US - Police: False Criminal Reports Must Stop?

Good news here, false reporting seems to be getting more attention these days. ORLANDO, Fla. -- Orlando police warned the public Tuesday morning that making a false claim is a crime after they said the 18-year-old woman who claimed she was raped Monday was lying. "We want victims to continue to report crime, we do not want to spend needless resources chasing ghosts," Sgt. Art Eld said in a press conference. Police said false reporting has reached an epidemic level. They said they will arrest anyone who makes a false report about a crime because doing so is against the law. "False reports cause unnecessary fear in the community," Eld said. Samaria Renford called police after she wrecked her boyfriend's BMW on Rosamond Drive near North Orange Blossom Trail. Local police are planning to discuss Tuesday morning the recent spike in false rape being reported. The 18-year-old has been arrested after confessing when she was questioned about the details of the case. The arrest report states that Renford told detectives she found her boyfriend cheating on her. So, she took his car and intentionally crashed it. The report states Renford hoped if her boyfriend found out she was raped, he'd take her back and be nicer to her. A report of a rape near Lake Eola in May was deemed fake after possible suspects were questions. Police are looking to arrest the woman who made that claim. Police said another woman, Luisa Martinez, also made a false claim she was raped on East Pine Street in downtown Orlando. "False reports take personnel away from other calls for service, increasing response time for real victims," Eld said. "It also taints the jury pool in Orange County for true legitimate rape cases." Cops said they don't want to arrest the women, but feel they must. They have the public's support. "There's a lot better ways to get attention than making false police reports about something so serious," resident Karen Hansen said. http://www.wesh.com/news/23991233/detail.html What are some ways to discourage women from making false reports?Oh yes you are right, I was going to mention something about that, there are differences though, the main one being that false reports are not recognised or dealt with. Also false rape claims are much more common than wife beating, see deirdre o's statsfor an example of false rape reporting , there is also another difference, domestic abuse has gender symmetry in perpertration, false reporting does not.The FBI say that 25% of the accused are exonerated by DNA and most false reports collapse at the police station so the fbi dont have a record of that.DO here is some information on false reporting, there is alse detail on the feminist efforts to conceal the false reporting. Its better to get research than it is to repeat feminist ideology as if it were fact here. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_go1613/is_1_18/ai_n31607869/ http://www.ipt-forensics.com/journal/volume6/j6_2_4.htm And covering up for false accusers as you are doing actually hurts genuine victims. more

Resolved Question: Do we need more evidence that these wars need to end?

Curbing US military reduces Afghan insurgent attacks: report http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100723/pl_afp/afghanistanuscasualtiescivilianspolitics NEW YORK (AFP) – Restrictions imposed on US-led forces in Afghanistan to reduce civilian casualties have also led to a decline in attacks by insurgent fighters, a new report says. The recently fired US commander, General Stanley McChrystal, imposed the curbs last year on use of aerial bombing and other heavy weapons in a bid to lower the number of innocent people killed during operations against insurgents. The rules also appear to have lessened the cycle of violence by reducing the number of insurgent attacks on US-led ISAF troops, according to the think tank the National Bureau of Economic Research, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The 70-page report, which analyzes 15 months of data on military clashes and incidents totalling more than 4,000 civilian casualties, concludes that Afghan insurgents are to a large extent motivated by desire to avenge deaths of civilians. "Civilian casualties are affecting future violence through increased recruitment into insurgent groups after a civilian casualty incident," the report says. "In Afghanistan," the report says, "when ISAF units kill civilians, this increases the number of willing combatants, leading to an increase in insurgent attacks." Predator Drones Used to Target Civilians: Obama’s Predator Joke—No Laughing Matter http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=19029 According to one recent estimate by Pakistani officials, some 700 Pakistani civilians, the majority of them women and children, were killed by Hellfire missiles fired by drones in attacks ordered by the White House during Obama’s first year in office. The officials indicated that for every alleged Al Qaeda or Taliban figure killed in these remote-controlled assassinations, 147 civilians have died. Pakistan: unlawful US drone war kills 140 innocent civilians for 1 CIA-alleged terrorist http://uruknet.com/index.php?p=m62014&hd=&size=1&l=e Pakistan’s government reported US drones killed only civilians in 39 of 44 attacks on their country in 2009; with over 700 innocent civilians killed, according to Pakistan's most widely-read English newspaper. Pakistan has repeatedly publicly denounced the US attacks, making the US guilty of War Crimes as they do not have explicit permission from Pakistan’s government. Obama Turning Taliban Into Freedom Fighters http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/may/16/taliban-indistinguishable-enemy-afghanistan They may be repressive fanatics who enslave women and give sanctuary to al-Qaida, but the US-led occupation of Afghanistan has transformed the Taliban into Pashtun freedom fighters. There are two principal reasons for this. First, despite our best attempts, the foreign troops and the state they prop up are viewed as outsiders who have come not to liberate the country but subjugate it. Second, so long as our presence in Afghanistan is primarily military, our relationship to ordinary Afghans will be based primarily on violence. Armies, by their very nature, must intimidate and coerce the population into accepting their authority. Despite the talk of winning hearts and minds and civilian surges, much of what we do in Afghanistan creates fear and hostility. It should not surprise us, then, to hear allegations of US and Afghan forces committing "battlefield executions". Although harsh and primitive, the insurgency has gained a reputation for speedy justice that is juxtaposed against the western-backed Karzai regime's endemic corruption. Insurgencies swell, one leader of the Algerian revolution noted in the early 1960s, "where foreign rule is resented, where acute grievances exist and institutional channels for ventilating and satisfying them are ineffective". By that measure, the Afghan insurgency can be expected to grow. For ordinary Afghans, especially in the Pashtun heartlands of the south and east where the Taliban predominate, US-led forces are feared just as the insurgents are. One key difference, however, is that the Taliban are not foreigners but, as Karzai once remarked, "sons of the soil". more

Resolved Question: Lindsay Lohan . . . do you think it is fair?

I don't think that it's fair that Lindsay Lohan was put into a jail filled with common 'riffraff'. How low has our judicial system sunk that they would even consider putting her in the same jail as common people who have committed crimes such as drunk driving, drug use, etc. Famous people SHOULD be given a "break" when they are lawbreakers, because they are 'different' from us ordinary people! If Ms. Lohan has to eat the same food as the rest of the other "guests" of the jail, then she should (in my humble opinion) file a lawsuit against the county. It's just not right that this woman should have to sink so low as the other 'riffraff" in the jail. Does anyone agree?@ "Jesse J" and "Ghost of" Somehow, the SARCASM of what I wrote was not apparent to you guys. If we as a society chose a certain behavior, then we should not cry about the consequences of that behavior. Personally, I think that she should do the entire 90 days, and then some! I have loved ones driving on the road each day (as I'm certain that both of you have), and worry all the time about some drunken fool being on the road at the same time. I'm 64 years old, and have NEVER been drunk, or taken any kind of illegal drug. Does this make me better than those who do? Of course not! This was a CHOICE that I made when I was a very young man. Again: my question was written with a heavy dose of SARCASM. more

Resolved Question: Are these good thesis statements for these quotes from "Things Fall Apart"?

This is for a summer assignment, and I want to know if these thesis statements are fine the way they are, or if I'm getting this completely wrong. Thanks! =) Passage 1 “Okonkwo ruled his household with a heavy hand. His wives, especially the youngest, lived in perpetual fear of his fiery temper, and so did his little children. Perhaps down in his heart Okonkwo was not a cruel man. But his whole life was dominated by fear, the fear of failure and weakness. It was deeper and more intimate than the fear of evil and capricious gods and magic...Okonkwo’s fear was greater than these” (Achebe 13). Thesis: Okonkwo strives so hard to be strong, masculine, and successful, but he has these fears which contradict his belief in his culture’s spiritual culture. Passage 2 “Okonkwo looked away. He heard the blow. The pot fell and broke in the sand. He heard Ikemefuna cry, ‘My father, they have killed me!” as he ran toward him. Dazed with fear, Okonkwo drew his machete and cut him down. He was afraid of being thought weak” (61). Thesis: - Okonkwo’s fears causes him to act on rash decisions. - Despite being warned to not participate in Ikemefuna’s death, Okonkwo follows anyways, to prove himself. - Okonkwo’s relationship with Ikemefuna caused his guard to be let down, which in turn, led to his fears controlling his rash decisions. Passage 3 “Okonkwo was deeply grieved. And it was not just a personal grief. He mourned for the clan, which he saw breaking up and falling apart, and he mourned for the warlike men of Umuofia, who had so unaccountably become soft like women” (183). Thesis: - Okonkwo’s worst nightmare has come true, but in society. - Okonkwo feels like he’s been betrayed by his clan, who he valued so much. - Okonkwo believes that men are the basis of a community. Passage 4 “Obierika was a man who thought about things. When the will of the goddess had been done, he sat down in his obi and mourned his friend’s calamity. Why should a man suffer so grievously for an offense he had committed inadvertently? But although he thought for a long time he found no answer. He was merely led into greater complexities. He remembered his wife’s twin children, whom he had thrown away. What crime had they committed?” (125). Thesis: Obierika sees that there is a punishment for every crime committed, whether it be purposeful or accidental. Passage 5 “Mr. Smith, “saw things as black and white. And black was evil. He saw the world as a battlefield in which the children of light were locker in mortal conflict with the songs of darkness” (184). Thesis: Achebe uses metaphors and symbolism to convince the audience that Mr. Smith is a stereotypical man and is against the clan.I don't need websites to find a thesis, I just need someone to tell me if I need to tweak them. more

Resolved Question: Would agree police say illegal tried to open a bank account using a relative's ID is law-abiding citizen?

Would agree police say illegal using tried to open a bank account using a relative's ID is law-abiding citizen ? And then must apologize to civil rights groups ?Lincoln's police chief says it's not his job to help federal authorities enforce immigration laws. But -- whether Tom Casady likes it or not -- that's what's happening. In May, Lincoln police arrested a 43-year-old immigrant from El Salvador who allegedly tried to open a bank account using a relative's ID. They sent her fingerprints to a federal database, which is standard procedure whenever someone's booked into jail, Casady told a group of civil rights leaders Thursday. This time, it led to a run-in with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and now the woman faces federal charges for allegedly overstaying her visa. Lincoln's Multicultural Advisory Committee asked for a meeting with Casady to discuss how the woman's arrest led to the charge. The chief told them it was never his intent to see her threatened with deportation. Officers arrested her because of the fake ID, he said, not her immigration status. "She appears to be a law-abiding citizen that's been here for quite some time," he said. On the other hand, Casady said, his department has found it difficult to get federal authorities to take action against a pair of suspected illegal immigrants who've had repeated run-ins with local police. During Thursday's meeting, the chief and committee members said they're worried about the possibility of Nebraska passing a law requiring local police to enforce immigration law. Such a law is set to go into effect in Arizona next Thursday. Casady said such a law would make immigrants here fear police, and thus less willing to report violent or other serious crimes. "I have absolutely no interest at all in helping the federal government do their job," he said. It's been standard procedure to fingerprint people taken to jail since at least the 1940s, and advances in technology have made sharing the prints easier, Casady said after the meeting. The department has no plans to stop sharing prints, he said. "I think that would be a very bad idea." http://journalstar.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/article_ae5b5504-95f3-11df-8bea-001cc4c002e0.html more

Resolved Question: My friend was raped, PLEASE help!?

First, let me give you a background check. "Carly's" family is very rich and powerful because of Carly's father's business. Carly's father has cheated on her mother with several women claiming that he "deserves it." As you can probably tell, there's something messed up with Carly's dad. However, he is their only source of income, so Carly's mom doesn't want a divorce. But there is more to that, if they get a divorce Carly's mother is afraid that he will hurt them in some way and/or take custody of them (he is very intelligent in trials- he's avoided several DUIs) and mistreat them. Carly is one of my best friends and Carly's mom is one of my mom's best friends. Carly told me recently she was raped by her father one night when he, supposedly, was drunk. She told me against her mother's wishes to "not tell anyone" and I told my mother because I couldn't handle knowing that by myself and I needed advice. Keep in mind that I am best friends with Carly and Carly's mom is best friends with my mom. After my mom's and my suffering from knowing this and not knowing what to do about it, we contacted a help line for rape victims without Carly or her family knowing. From there, there is no going back. What I am very afraid of is that... 1) Both our friendships will be completely destroyed. 2) Her father will hurt their family or ours. What I want to know is... 1) How to you rebuild a friendship from something like that? 2) How do we make sure he does pay for his crimes? I know what we did was right (talking to a rape specialist), which is out of the question, but what should my mother, father, and I do from here?I did all that i thought I could, but I noticed some questions like these were on here and some people that went to college for this sort of thing were answering, so I thought that maybe people could explain to me what I should do from here.I also talked to a priest, who said that we should do what we did and a child therapist is in the family, and he said that we should do that as well, so we did. But what should I do now?Also, Carly has asked her mom several times to let her lock her door in fear of her dad. I don't know what her mother said to this, but I believe she put a lock back on the door (she removed it before). more

Resolved Question: If you're against gay marriage because marriage is sacred and the definition is between a man and a woman..?

Are you also in favor of banning all divorce except in cases of abuse or adultery? Would you also like adultery to be made a crime worthy of the death penalty? Do you think interracial marriage should still be banned? Do you believe wives should still be treated as property, that wife-beating should still be allowed? The rules and definitions of marriage have changed several times over the years. In my opinion, divorces being so easy to obtain is the most "threatening" of these changes to the sanctity. How do you account for these changes while still holding on to the idea that gay marriage is a *special* threat to the sanctity of marriage? More threatening than divorce? Please, tell me, what in your mind is the difference? It's inevitable that someone will give a Bible-based answer, so before you do, consider that execution for adultery and the mistreatment of women were also supported in the Bible. Asked this in another section first, but different opinions are always interesting.@Scruffycat: I meant, it once was allowed. Do you think it should be allowed today? I know anti-gay marriage people are all about keeping marriage unchanged. So if any of them really care about the sanctity of marriage at all, they'd want ALL the original marriage laws back. Otherwise, they'd be cherry picking.Sparkie: Religion should not be involved in politics because it creates a mess. I'm not sure where you live, so maybe this doesn't apply to you, but I'm talking about America. We have a secular government and religious freedom here. Basing our laws strictly off of what is "respectful to Christians" is unconstitutional. more

Resolved Question: Why is god shown to be so mean?

God seems quite mean, according to the way our lives and afterlives are dictated... God is a god of love, but he is also a god of justice and punishment--Why does it seem that God is more of the latter? In the old testament, God is generally known to be more wrathful than merciful, like in the deluge. I mean, god punished Moses for what Aaron, his brother, did (or failed to do). How is that just or loving in any way? Let's begin with the fact that children have terminal illnesses. Why would a conscious entity give a five year old cancer? Some people might say that, "God is testing them," or "God is strengthening their family through faith" Why like that?! Why does a five year old have to get cancer, or sickle cell, for a family to be strenghtened through faith? Why does an innocent child have to suffer? There are other ways to test and strengthen the faith of believers. Some people might even say that God is punishing an ancestors descendants for what the ancestor did, in a "sins of the father" bit. That's even worse, to punish a family at it's most precious and innocent point for something done by a person who is not innocent or precious. How could God have allowed the Holocaust and other genocides to follow through as they have? Was he also teaching the world a lesson their, for the sins it committed? Does God simply have a preference against intervening? Was God punishing the Jews for not following "his only begotten son"? Is that a crime, and is the Holocaust fair punishment? And Hell!...Hell, according to religious doctrine, is an eternal place where the souls of those deemed unfit for heaven suffer eternally. Eternally. That means forever. Forever does not mean "for 100 years" or "for a billion years". Forever does not mean "for an eon". Eternal and forever mean that the suffering will never end. Why are people doomed to suffer for an infinite amount of time? (meaning that the torture and suffering will never end) Sins are committed in finite instances; sins can only be committed for a limited amount of time. Even if one sins for their entire life, they have only sinned for a lifetime; that's a good 70 years of sinning. So they do not receive a sentence equal to their crimes? They do not suffer for the duration of their lifetime, or (all sins are equal in god's eyes) for the amount of sinning they have committed, they suffer forever? And what (for lack of a better phrase) is up with the book of Revelation? Beast with seven heads, Woman riding a dragon? What was John talking about? What justification is there for this wanton suffering of humans, god's children? Is it all some grand and horrific lesson that He is supreme to us? How is this fair, and if this is Christianity, what incentive is there to believe in it for a non-believer? more

Resolved Question: Muslim brothers, let us combinely emphasize on true Islam, and rub out misconceptions?

Our religion taught us to show humanity and mercy, even in the case of war. we shud never forget that Holu prophet even forgave Abu sufyan, this was his mercy, he told us rules of fight:- 1. Never attacck any Women or children, in any situation. 2. Never attack elderly and handicaps. 3. Never attack one who do not have weopons, even if he is enemy 4. Never attack one who surrenders. 5. never destroy properties and agriculture. 6. Never kill an innocent Then how can a religion, which is so strict even at the time of war about war crimes, allow suicidal attacks. Ours is the religion which for the first time laid down war rules and defined war crimes and we shud strictly abide by that. Before Islam and till Medival perion, Entire world was filled with crime against women, girl infants used to burried alive, they had no right on property and were burned alive in Europe by alleging them as witches , Islam stopped it Islam gave right on father's property to women, banned infant killings, and allowed women to chose there husbands themselve or to say no during nikah. In india, women were burned alive after there husband's death, Prophet gave right to remarryprophet said, as long as you will follow my teachings, Allah will help and u will earn reputation, BUT A DAY WILL COME WEN U WILL STOP FOLLOWING WAT I TAUGHT, AND THEN UR RULE WILL DECLINE TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT U WILL BE LOSE UR OWN COUNTRIES. IT IS THIS TIME WEN A RENAISSANCE WILL START AND A GROUP WILL BEGIN TO RE-PREACH THE WORD, THIS IS ALSO THE TIME WEN IMAM MAHDI WILL APPEAR AND JESUS WILL RETURN TO EARTH. if muslims are doing bad thing , its not becz of prophet, its der own fault AND THIS WAS ALREADY TOLD BY PROPHET WAY BACK, AND WE ARE WITNESSED IT AND ARE WITNESSING IT rigth now watever is hpning in muslim countries is unislamic, thats we lost evrythng, we need to re-think and this is wat i wat is my goa more

Resolved Question: what is the term to call this law-violating act in English?

I am looking for a term to call this act...In my country (Vietnam) you might be accused if you caused troubles for an officer to accomplish his duty. For example, A police man caught a man because he committed some crimes. However, a woman came and interfered with the intention to help the man escaped. The woman then is under arrest too . Translated from Vietnamese, the police would tell the woman: "You are under arrest for acts against on-duty officers". But what would a native-speaker police man tell the woman (if they have that law similar to ours) ? more

Resolved Question: Why should whites support Obama?

He continues to keep an open border and neglects securing the borders. His financial bill exempts minority owned and community organizer backed financial institutions. He often criticizes white police for acting stupidly without even examining the evidence. He claims that the Arizona bill is racist without even reading it in which police can only check immigration status after an individual is arrested for a crime. He dropped the charges against the Black Panthers for voter intimidation. He often criticizes the suburbs for not paying enough taxes to the inner city when the inner city does not pay any taxes to be used in the suburbs. His wife has labeled the Tea Party racist just because it wants less government. His White House video that aimed to get more voters out in the upcoming elections, only mentioned blacks, Latinos, and women while it neglected to mention whites and Asians as well. Real unemployment continues to increase as well as the economy continues to get worse. more

Resolved Question: Is this the end for the Roman Catholic church?

or is it just the beginning of the end? The Vatican has included a provision in its revised decree that made the "attempted ordination" of women one of the gravest crimes in ecclesiastical law, inferring it was as grave as pedophilia. For many years some priests have treated the availability of young boys (and sometimes girls) as "perks of the job". And their bishops and higher clergy have supported or condoned this by simply moving the offending priests to other parishes if there were complaints made against them. Even now, there is reluctance to acknowledge the crimes committed in the past by Roman Catholic clergy and the church's response is generally to minimize the publicity without addressing the problem. And now this, in what world do these miserable misogynists and supporters of pederasty live? more

Resolved Question: RE: Hillary's book. Does it take a "village" to raise a child?

Village is another term for Marxism that America's founder John Dewey Modeled public schools after. "Basically, the Frankfurt School believed that as long as an individual had the belief -- or even the hope of belief -- that his divine gift of reason could solve the problems facing society, then that society would never reach the state of hopelessness and alienation that they considered necessary to provoke socialist revolution. Their task, therefore, was as swiftly as possible to undermine the Judaeo-Christian legacy..... "To further the advance of their ‘quiet’ cultural revolution - but giving us no ideas about their plans for the future - the School recommended (among other things): 2. Continual change to create confusion 3. The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children 5. Huge immigration to destroy identity. 7. Emptying of churches 8. An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime 9. Dependency on the state or state benefits 10. Control and dumbing down of media 11. Encouraging the breakdown of the family "One of the main ideas of the Frankfurt School was to exploit Freud’s idea of ‘pansexualism’ - the search for pleasure, the exploitation of the differences between the sexes, the overthrowing of traditional relationships between men and women." http://www.crossroad.to/Quotes/brainwash… more

Resolved Question: Does it take a "village" to raise a child?

Resolved Question: How do ordinary Catholics feel about the Vatican equating women priests with sexual abuse of children?

I see someone got my previous question deleted. I guess the truth hurts? So how do ordinary Catholics feel about the Vatican placing the ordination of women priests in the same category of "crime" as the rape of children by priests? How could any women respect a faith which clearly has such contempt for the entire female population? Quote: "The Vatican today made the "attempted ordination" of women one of the gravest crimes under church law, putting it in the same category as clerical sex abuse of minors, heresy and schism." "Making a woman a priest is as sinful as abusing a child, the Roman Catholic Church declared yesterday. New religious rules published by the Vatican set both sins at the same level of gravity and recommended the same punishment for guilty priests." "The new rules issued by the Vatican puts attempts at ordaining women among the “most serious crimes” alongside paedophilia and will be handled by investigators from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), considered the successor to the Inquisition. Women attempting to be priests, and those who try to ordain them, already faced automatic excommunication but the new decree goes further and enshrines the action as “a crime against sacraments”.

Resolved Question: Feminists: what is your opinion on andrea dworkin?

heres some of her quotes A commitment to sexual equality with males is a commitment to becoming the rich instead of the poor, the rapist instead of the raped, the murderer instead of the murdered. Andrea Dworkin All personal, psychological, social, and institutionalized domination on this earth can be traced back to its source: the phallic identities of men. Andrea Dworkin As long as there is rape... there is not going to be any peace or justice or equality or freedom. You are not going to become what you want to become or who you want to become. You are not going to live in the world you want to live in. Andrea Dworkin Being a Jew, one learns to believe in the reality of cruelty and one learns to recognize indifference to human suffering as a fact. Andrea Dworkin Childbearing is glorified in part because women die from it. Andrea Dworkin Erotica is simply high-class pornography; better produced, better conceived, better executed, better packaged, designed for a better class of consumer. Andrea Dworkin Feminism is hated because women are hated. Anti-feminism is a direct expression of misogyny; it is the political defense of women hating. Andrea Dworkin Genocide begins, however improbably, in the conviction that classes of biological distinction indisputably sanction social and political discrimination. Andrea Dworkin Male supremacy is fused into the language, so that every sentence both heralds and affirms it. Andrea Dworkin Marriage as an institution developed from rape as a practice. Rape, originally defined as abduction, became marriage by capture. Marriage meant the taking was to extend in time, to be not only use of but possession of, or ownership. Andrea Dworkin Men are distinguished from women by their commitment to do violence rather than to be victimized by it. Andrea Dworkin Men have defined the parameters of every subject. All feminist arguments, however radical in intent or consequence, are with or against assertions or premises implicit in the male system, which is made credible or authentic by the power of men to name. Andrea Dworkin Men know everything - all of them - all the time - no matter how stupid or inexperienced or arrogant or ignorant they are. Andrea Dworkin Men who want to support women in our struggle for freedom and justice should understand that it is not terrifically important to us that they learn to cry; it is important to us that they stop the crimes of violence against us. Andrea Dworkin Money speaks, but it speaks with a male voice. Andrea Dworkin No phallic hero, no matter what he does to himself or to another to prove his courage, ever matches the solitary, existential courage of the woman who gives birth. Andrea Dworkin No woman needs intercourse; few women escape it. Andrea Dworkin Only when manhood is dead - and it will perish when ravaged femininity no longer sustains it - only then will we know what it is to be free. Andrea Dworkin Poetry, the genre of purest beauty, was born of a truncated woman: her head severed from her body with a sword, a symbolic penis. Andrea Dworkin Seduction is often difficult to distinguish from rape. In seduction, the rapist often bothers to buy a bottle of wine. Andrea Dworkini agree feminist man , i don't see that many feminists respecting this persongood answers so far everyone :)@edith clark, i had just heard of her and was just curious more

Resolved Question: Serious question. Is sexual abuse really that common among girls?

Being a victim myself, it seemed bizarre and very saddening to me when the movie "Precious" came out and all of these actresses and other prominent people in society began admitting that they to were victims of sexual abuse. I read a statistic that 1 in 4 girls have been sexually abused in their life (This is not including sexual assault, in other words rape), and that 98% of the abuse were by men. Why is there so much abuse against women in this world? Don't even get me started on beatings, stalking, foot binding, FGM, and other crimes against girls and women.....FGM stands for Female Genital Mutilation more

Resolved Question: How awesome is holy Quran revelation?

Mo sent Hafsa, one of his wives, to visit her father. (One might suspect something, right there!) Halfway home, she realized that it was her day to be tupped by Mo. She hurried back because she was afraid Mo would rape the nearest woman once he discovered Hafsa was not faking interest when he broke into her bedroom. It is important to note that Hafsa hurried back, not to experience a rutting by Mo, but rather to save another woman the indignity of it. This point is clearly missed by the slavish scribes who penned the story. Hafsa was too late and she caught Mo rutting a slave-girl. Mohamed quickly dismissed the slave-girl, after he had climaxed, and told Hafsa that if she kept this incident a secret, he would not have sex with the slave-girl ever again. Why the need to keep this quiet? Isn't Mo the perfect man? He is acting like any other philanderer. I'm confused. But Hafsa gabbed and soon all of Mohamed’s wives revolted against his incessant philandering. It seems that Mo's wives knew exactly who, and what, he was. So Mo had another fit and said Allah, aka Satan, told him it was ok to screw slave girls and anyone else (and there is proof Mo batted from both sides) if and when he liked! (Muslim barrows please note that Allah/Satan said this only to Mo!) No, I didn't make this up! This story was recorded by Muslims! And Mo is venerated as the perfect man! Muslim barrows are required to emulate this behaviour! Mo's favourite wife was clever little Aisha, barely out of kindergarten, but she knew Mo well. She said to Mo, Whenever you sin or commit crimes, verily, your Allah is ever quick to fulfill your whims and desires. (al-Siyuti v6 p629) Pretty and smart! Here's what Mo's psychopathic, sex-crazed, delusional, fit-shaken illiterate mind said that Gabriel said that Allah/Satan said: Or at least what the equally illiterate sex crazed and blood thirsty followers of history's most evil man said that Mo said that Gabriel said that Allah/Satan said. Koran 66.1 O Prophet! Why bannest thou that which Allah hath made lawful for thee, seeking to please thy wives ? And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. Allah, itself, wants Mo to have a piece on the side! Why are you trying to please a wife? Please your ***** self, Mo! 66.2 Allah hath made lawful for you (Muslims) absolution from your oaths (of such a kind), and Allah is your Protector. He is the Knower, the Wise. Allah said, (And think about this) you can break a promise to a wife! What's the big deal? I, Allah/Satan do it all the time! 66.3 When the Prophet confided a fact unto one of his wives and when she afterward divulged it and Allah apprised him thereof, he made known (to her) part thereof and passed over part. And when he told it her she said: Who hath told thee ? He said: The Knower, the Aware hath told me. Yeah, the one of the wives said, Who in Hell told you that pile of crap? And Mo said, Who in Hell told me? Allah, that's who! 66.4 If ye twain turn unto Allah repentant, (ye have cause to do so) for your hearts desired (the ban); and if ye aid one another against him (Muhammad) then lo! Allah, even He, is his Protecting Friend, and Gabriel and the righteous among the believers; and furthermore the angels are his helpers. Allah/Satan said, Mo can lie and cheat but any one who acts against Mo will fail because Mo will be protected by angels! 66.5 It may happen that his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him in your stead wives better than you, submissive (to Allah), believing, pious, penitent, devout, inclined to fasting, widows and maids. Ditch the ***** who isn't slavish in her wifely duties! I got better chicks for you. Thus spake Allah/Satan/Mohamed in a fit. more

Resolved Question: Why do conservaties persecute Polanski but don't go after Mel Gibson?

Polanski loved a young woman and was forced into exile for it by an ignorant American population whose ideas on sex are straight out of the medieval period, yet Mel Gibson walks free on our streets despite calling African Americans N&^%$ers and women "whores." Explain to me how someone can say these things against African Americans and women and be a free man but an artist like Roman Polanski is forced out of this backwards nation and punished relentlessly for over thirty years because a group of Puritans decided to impose their twisted morality on him? Polanski is an artist, you people are not. You are sick and judgmental. Not only were you happy ruining the career of a great artist but you are the reason why he has suffered for over 30 years. You ruined a man's life yet you have a man who hates Black people and women walking free. You truly are sick. Where you got your right to judge, I will never know, but some of us have had enough of your so called morals. Go after a real criminal not someone whose only crime is the love of a woman and making great art that you are too ignorant to understand because it's not a Stallone movie or a John Wayne film. more

Resolved Question: Fellow Christians, how can you just sit by and ALLOW homosexuals to sin in such a vulgar manner?

Leviticus 18:22: 'You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.' This is clearly stated in the very word of God himself. If you disagree with God, then you are an unforgiven sinner, and Satan has a place for those people. I suggest those who truly do love God fight harder to abolish all forms of gay marriage. It is unethical and marriage is NOT a right, but rather a sacred bond formed by spirituality. What I think is worse is that our children are exposed to such crimes against God. more

Resolved Question: FUCK MANKIND!!! do you agree?

FUCK ALL MANKIND We are not developed until we are 21. We are still stupid an worthless after age 21. We do a minority of house work and women are forced to do a majority of house work. fuck all mankind Men are often the targets of false allegation. Men do not get any form of parity in child custody. Men are often degraded on movies and television. Follow your destiny and go be worthless. Insults to men as a gender are acceptable in society. Contributions by men in the family unit are often ignored. No point in retiring if you're a guy. GO KILL YOURSELF!!! There is no Violence Against Men Act and I don't think we need one. Men can't hit women. Though no one should be hitting anyone. Men are labeled as perpetrators while women are only ever victims even when a woman commits a crime. Go castrate yourself with a burdizzo or a wire tie and some pliers. Women get there genitals mutilated in other countries anyways. All men can get is circumcision and It's just a choice. If you think your genitals will look better and not like a fugly smelly aardvark. Well guess what sex will still be lame, it might be fun I don't know. Go kill yourself. Enjoy the afterlife, because it has no form of government or society control. You are just another form of energy and you're psychic. Men are useless to women. Society expects women to do everything and be thin and beutiful. Men don't do anything. Men spend money on fruitless things. while women have to make a living. FUCK RELIGION!!! Everything you do is all for nothing. Humans can reproduce by pathogens and there is no need for men or male sperm. FUCK ALL SOCIETY!!! Men are useless. I am just making myself sound stupid, inconcise, irrelevant and illiterate by combining everything. The end. It's a good thing Obama accepted the vawa act so are women are safe. But men get the blame for self defense. Why? This crazy bitch tried to kill me and I got arrested for it. Why don't we have women presidents? Where's the vama, the vaca and the vapa act to waste everyones time. To keep our pets safe we can have the vadaa act. Voilence against domesticated animals is wrong. What if I was a tranny?

Resolved Question: why sellout your men/women?

Im not against interracial relationships but im just damn sick of seeing men and women who date out of their race on purpose because they either hate their own men or women or they have fallen in love with a race and not the individual. To me the ideal interracial relationship would happen casually and not on purpose. Like you were working together and then you find out you got alot in common so you decide to date, thats perfect. Not I hate my men/women so im going to date out of my race. people shouldn't date out of hate or lust because its not genuine and its a insult to the relationship between men and women. Dating out of your race is not a crime but if you hate your own men/women or think its greener on the other side then you hate yourself, have a low self esteem, and are easily exploited. Thats my opinion whats yours. more
