    Not sure if it is the Big 40 approaching or just a general disgust of the world but I find myself very angry of late. Mostly due to the crap in the world around us.

    I am sick of hearing on the news that people have killed their family, friends or strangers. I am so SICK of people abusing children I could puke and go vigilante on their ASS.

    For example a church dude, childrens pastor I believe abused a ton of kids. They let the M***** F***** plea bargin, that wasn't so bad the children were not made to testify but for over 30 Counts he was given 25 years. ONLY 25 YEARS WHY What kind of sentence is that thatshould be per child or something.

    What really chapped my ass was that assistant pastor jerk saying "The bible says we should forgive so his is forgiven.' WHy were they abused, was his innocence stripped from him by a trusted person NO . If the victim wants to fine but for someone of the church to say that without discussing it with the victims makes me ill

    Why does the world not hold these monsters accountable. I am so sick of the perpetrator right at all cost mentality. The save the perp campaings. Never the victims whether of murder or molestation or a fight. It is always excuses EXCUSES for the perps I am fed up I have had it.

    Now what do I do with this anger????????????? GOD it makes me ill

    Anyone who sexually abuses a child should spend the rest of their lives in prison doing hard labor...period.

    Why can't these fools realize that if you want to forgive, fine. If you feel that your faith requires forgiveness fine. But that does not mean that they don't have to pay the penalty. I am sure that there are some people on this earth who have done terrible things in their past, but still merit forgiveness from God.....but justice for everyone else still has to be satisfied.

    These clergyman who want to flap about forgiveness need to shut their pie hole and leave forgiveness up to the victim and the creator.

    Forgiveness does not mean that nothing ever happened.

    Sheila - I sympathize...hang in there maybe everything will be straitened out by your 50th.

    Hi Sheila.....

    I think this is the News account that someone has posted here somewhere..

    Horrible.. Just Horrible.. to have to read of yet another pervert who gets off easy .. while the victims carry it the rest of their lives....

    ...

    Sometimes I get feeling like you do... but it kind of hits me in a reverse sort of way..

    I am an avid newspaper reader, also listen to the news alot....

    Sometimes I get to what think must be an "over saturation" of horrible events or news that I read or have watched on T.V..

    Instead of getting Angry, such as you describe,. I kind of go into a depression for a couple of days and keep trying to figure out why I'm so depressed. ... Once I figure it out... then I have to stop reading the newspaper and watching the T.V. news for awhile.. and concentrate on the things that are in my immediate radius, where I feel I can do something about it.

    then I start to snap out of it...

    sincerely

    Special K

    Is 25 years in prison nothing?? Would only life imprisonment or capital punishment be the solution? I don't think it's nothing. Please don't get me wrong. What this person did or any other rapist does is despicable. But I really don't know what would satisfy some. ...40 years???

    I here ya hun. Maybe its because there is no real justice in this world? I dont think its an age related thing either. There is so much that goes on that burns my butt so I have stopped watching the news I cant stands no more! Use the energy the anger creates to do something creative or new dont waste that energy cause it is energy. Take a walk, learn karate or self defence, do something and maybe you wont feel so helpless. However should anyone of those creeps go near one of my nieces or nephews I would know what to do! A short punch to the neck and a chop in the back of the leg and thats real justice delivered!

    Actually people must be sick of it. Recently we had a case here in Adelaide of the son of the biggest land holder here shooting someone else in the eye and robbing him of his means of living, etc. The sentence was a few hundred dollars fine. WHat a joke.. Well anyway there was such an outcry about it that the government instisted that the case be reheard and a huge sentence was imposed upon the B%&%$#(*d.

    The family of the accused was outraged, imagine that, one of the richest families in Adelaide had to meet justice after all. They didnt stop for a second to think of the victim who was delivering his newspapers and minding his own buisness who got shot in the eye, lost his means of living, suffered severe depression and who's whole life was ruined!

    Maybe if more people speak out against this bull that is called so called justice then more realistic sentences will be handed out and places like the Church held accounible for what must be literally millions of cases worldwide! There is not a month that goes buy where new cases in all different churches are raised. IT really goes to show that man was not meant to be celibate at all and it causes great problems and is basically unnatural...which is why 13 uears of enforced celibacy for me is just so wrong....opps thats another story!

    We've had the situation close to home ourselves. To those that start bunging on about the need to forgive and judgementalism, I inform them that "There is a difference between sin and crime. Sins can be forgiven, but crimes must be paid for. Please don't confuse the two."

    Purple: Thanks for understanding. God that poor man that is exactly what I meant errrr

    These clergyman who want to flap about forgiveness need to shut their pie hole and leave forgiveness up to the victim and the creator.

    Thank you. I do so agree....

    Instead of getting Angry, such as you describe,. I kind of go into a depression for a couple of days

    I am so sorry to hear that....I don't understand the need to hurt children......

    "There is a difference between sin and crime. Sins can be forgiven, but crimes must be paid for.

    I so agree Stephanus....so agree thank you for voicing this.

    Min: UHLet's see he plead for 30 counts....P LEAD he destroyed so many children and ABUSED his authority to do this. He should have been given 25 years for his abuse of power. As I see by your comment you are part of the problem not the solution. 25 Years it will take these children that long to deal with their painAlso that leaves him just enough time to get out and re-offend. I don't understand WHY someone can accept this...it is so horrible why should he ever friggin see daylight again?????? What human quality does this person have?????? Why is a rape of an adult worth more time then the destruction of a child. What about the physical assault????

    Do you know the damage these pedo's do??? Do you know some little girls can't ever have children??? Is that not a life sentence??? Do you know that many of these boys are ripped and torn and their choice of sexuality is taken from them???? Many think they are "gay" just because of this abuse. They should be allowed to make the choice not have some freak do it for them.......

    That's pretty insensitive Min even for you.

    Apparently 25 years isn't enough.

    There is a girl missing from Moorhead (she probably won't ever be found) her name is Dru Sjodin. It's recieved national coverage. The man who is being charged with abducting her was a level 3 sex offender. He was realeased from prision, and they have found her blood in his car.

    Now I am not saying this priest was a level 3 sex offender, I don't know the details of the case, however most sexual predators DON'T EVER get better.

    You have to agree it's pretty minimal punishment for the YEARS of suffering these survivors have put up with.

    Sheila,

    Now what do I do with this anger????????????? GOD it makes me ill

    I understand that. I seem to have been angry about this (and other issues) for years. The thing is, your anger isn't doing you any good - it will make you ill if it hasn't already.

    I read something only yesterday which helped me - someone was talking about returning the negativity that is sent to you back to the sender, but suggested that rather than returning it, take that negativity and try your best to transform it into something good. You are rightly feeling angry and this is likely a reflection of your own experiences aswell, but rather than letting this horror pull you down even further try to use it to good effect in some way.

    Just my thoughts, hope you don't mind,

    it amazes me that he only got 25 years. As a child molestor he will get a rough time in prison but with a 25 year sentence he will serve what, half that if he behaves well? I think the sentences should have been consecutive rather than concurrent, he should never be let out.

    We had a mass murderer here who has just hung himself. They think he killed over 250 old people (he was a doctor) and he recieved just 25 years because his sentences all ran parallel. What's the point?
