Many of the children forced into prostitution are either runaways or what authorities call “throwaways” — kids whose families have shunned them. Officials say they are preyed upon by organized networks of pimps who lure them in with shelter or drugs, then often beat, starve or otherwise abuse them until the children agree to work the streets.
Well, they’re not beaten until they’ve actually worked the streets for some time- proving that they can bring home the bacon…and in today’s world street work means posing for provocative pictures, which are put up on web sites that men from all over the world can see….and pick and choose which young girl he wishes to pay for…the men fly from city to city, paying for 4 hours of sex with the (often) preteens…and fly back home in time for dinner with the wife and (preteen?) kids. It’s BIG BUSINESS -this American Girl Sex Trafficking - and it’s all arranged on the Internet, services bought and paid for, raking in BILLIONS every year. Sex. Sells. More sex sells when it’s a young under-14 American girl.
He also points at that she is 100% behind bringing the “Fairness” Doctrine back. Of course she is, as are most liberals. They cannot compete in the radio market, no matter how hard they pay stations to carry their programming. Even most liberals do not want to listen to the drivel emanating from liberal studio’s, which is shown by the ratings of liberal programming on the radio, in particular Air America (believe it or not, it is still in business. Completely subsidized, though.)
This is how soft hearted, weak knee’d and limp dicked men think:
Blood on his hands is not a disqualification to rule.
Robert Mugabe is indeed an odious ruler with blood on his hands. But since when is that a disqualification to rule? The world has long been full of rulers even more odious and bloodthirsty than he.
Gah it makes me sick to know such men live in this world. Using a straw man argument and turning it into an excuse for horrible leadership. I take this to mean it’s moral to kill and rape and burn and otherwise harm innocent citizens.
I see a lot posts at blogs about this MEN DOING HOUSEWORK meme. I think those who post on this have ISSUES. Really, I do. Perhaps the men in the post authors aren’t doing their fair share? Or something…it comes up often enough where I have to wonder. And FWIW, reading through the comments, I will say there is nothing more hawt than a GOOD looking, well toned hot sweaty nekkid MAN doing the dishes…
I’ve been busy much of this week preparing a sermon that I gave at church earlier today, Father’s Day, my first full sermon ever. The purpose was to affirming the necessity of fathers in our 21st century post-modern America, not through a jeremiad against contemporary trends, but rather presenting a role model for fathers who want to make a difference.
FATHERS: WHO NEEDS THEM?
Fathers: who needs them?
Throughout most of human history, such a question would have been considered nonsensical.
But, in today’s affluent societies of Europe and North America, and increasingly in Asia, this question is now deadly serious, as the traditional structures of clan and family, along with established roles of men and women, have steadily loosened in consequence of extensive urbanization and increased mobility, along with a reduced threat of visitations from the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: war, pestilence, famine, and early death.
We have first witnessed a winnowing down of blood relationships to the primacy of the so-called “nuclear family” - and now we see an explosion of various alternative structures claiming entitlement to the title of family. We various combinations involving single parents or two adults - married or not, same or different sexes. We have proliferating familial permutations through divorce or break-up of one pair and the forming of new pairs - leading to the rise of so-called “blended families”. Nor are we restricted to pairs: we also are seeing in certain subcultures the rise of de facto polygamy where one male fathers children with multiple women, usually without marrying any of them - and women whose children have different fathers.
The influential Environmental Audit Committee says a personal carbon trading scheme is the best and fairest way of cutting Britain’s CO2 emissions without penalising the poor.
Under the scheme, everyone would be given an annual carbon allowance to use when buying oil, gas, electricity and flights.
Today’s low-wage immigrants and lower-wage illegals can’t earn what it costs to live in modern America, so they supplement with means-tested taxpayer benefits. And many immigrants don’t learn our language or assimilate into American culture because of the multicultural diversity taught in our schools and encouraged in our society.
Today’s immigrants fit the profile of the people who benefit from our welfare state: the working poor with large families.
Interesting:
On Dec. 10, 1996, Dr. Taylor, then 37, woke up in her apartment near Boston with a piercing pain behind her eye. A blood vessel in her brain had popped. Within minutes, her left lobe — the source of ego, analysis, judgment and context — began to fail her. Oddly, it felt great.
Junk science:
“It’s just the sickness. I can’t get rid of it. It just keeps coming back,”said Bouffanie, 27, who was pregnant with her now 15-month-old daughter, Lexi, while living in the trailer. “I’m just like, ‘Oh God, I wish like this would stop.’ If I had known it would get her sick, I wouldn’t have stayed in the trailer for so long.”
The girl, diagnosed with severe asthma, must inhale medicine from a breathing device.
Doctors cannot conclusively link her asthma to the trailer. But….
So, why the screeching in this article? What’s the point?
According the Energy Information Administration as of January 2007 there was more than 1.3 trillion barrels of proved crude oil on earth. Even if this were all the oil on the planet there would be no immediate danger of shortages, because at the current rate of consumption – roughly 85 million barrels a day – this supply would last for more than 40 years.
But the 1.3 trillion in these so-called proved reserves refers only to a tiny fraction of earth’s oil, designating only that portion which can be extracted under current ‘economic and operating conditions.’ As it happens, this figure grows with each decade and usually dramatically so.
So is this why we’re seeing the price of gas go up, Up, and UP??
Pineda is the director of LUMA, Latinos United in Massachusetts, an Everett-based nonprofit. She said that immigrants who do not understand local trash rules or have limited English skills will go to a city hall to find out why they received a trash ticket, and find there is no literature or employee who can speak their language to explain it.
No lit? MAKE THEM LEARN TO SPEAK AND READ ENGLISH you fucking morOns.
Hispanics are the nation’s largest minority group, consisting of 47 million people or 15 percent of the American population. The electoral clout of Hispanics is diminished by the fact that 44 percent are not citizens and are ineligible to vote. Also, Hispanics are not universally opposed to securing the border. Yet an overwhelming majority strongly disapprove of immigration enforcement procedures such as workplace raids, police who actively identify illegal immigrants and verification of immigration status prior to providing a driver’s license.
Ship ‘em all home. They need to do it the right way; the legal way.
Miley Cyrus is the most popular act in the country. Her 3-D concert film from her tour, “Best of Both Worlds,” took in an astounding $31.3 million in its opening weekend. Her show, “Hannah Montana,” is a megahit. In 2007, Cyrus reportedly earned $18.5 million.
Cyrus’ fan base is largely young girls, who sell out her concerts, buy her clothing line, and sit rapt before their televisions. Now, they’re being taught by a teen superstar, her father, and a willing media, that inappropriate behavior is no barrier to happiness or satisfaction.
Hmm…what happens when the tax burden and other regulation costs businesses too much:
WASHINGTON - In March 2005, one of the Pentagon’s most trusted contractors - Virginia-based MPRI, founded by retired senior military leaders - won a $400 million contract to train police in Iraq and other hotspots. Two months later, MPRI set up a company in Bermuda to which it subcontracted much of the work.
School lunches are getting expensive. And in spite of government regulations, they are very unhealthy and fattening. Some alternatives, that have similar food and brown bag ideas I used for my kids when they were in school.
Speaking of men: The Mancave. It’s a good idea to do this. I know from personal experience men need a space to themselves- where women do not enter…or clean up…or ask about.
Took my first road trip to Bar Harbor yesterday. It was overcast and wet in the ams, but the sun broke out later. A gorgeous day!
Good for her! Pregnancy and birth are natural and society has MADE these events into some super energy sapping saga that is expected to last months. Back in the day women gave birth and went back to work in the fields within hours. I went back to work within 3 or 4 weeks of delivery and THAT was TOO long!
IS this surprising to anyone? Boston Mayor Mumbles is hitting high on the feminine like lists…well, he IS feminine you know.
Mexico defends NAFTA? Of course they do…as does Bush and many others. All NAFTA has really done is kill American jobs; as well as proliferating the endless supply of illegal immigrants who take our jobs. No. I am not going liberal. I’m just not excusing this really bad law on behalf on my political affiliation.
