I heard that two post office workers there are infected with it. They handled a letter addressed to the Minister of Weapons (I think thats his title) Has anybody heard this?? Hope it's not true.

If YOUR Child Was A Pedophile, What Would You Do?

by minimus in

we have shown an abhorrence to pedophiles, and rightfully so, but how would you view pedophilia if your own son or daughter was either a known pedophile or displayed abnormal feelings for children?

I don't think you can "get help" for a sociopath.

Lin....so terribly sorry for you having to go through that.It is especially hard for you because when someones child is molested they can pretty much never have to see or have anything to do with the perp.In your case not only do you have to see him you are also emotionly attached to him.I cannot even begin to imagine what you must of went through and still are. I hope you daughter is doing well.You appear to be a very strong person and have you life together.

I don't have children, but I do have a sister that protected a pedophile instead of her daughter.I have absoulty nothing to do with her , neither does my mother....just the thought of looking at her sickens me to no end.I know it must be much easier to cut off all ties with a sibling than your own kid...I know my mom has a very difficult time with this...but she is one tough cookie.

Caring for the Child Molesters

by Swan in

in thinking back over the years past it makes me really sad what we have come to as jehovah's witnesses.

i never thought i would ever be at this point in my life.

in doing some new year reflections i can't help but think of the people i cared about in past years.

You are right morrislamb....this is a big misconception...thats why I have very little sympathy for them. Only about 10% of pedophiles are hard core...into child porno...seeks out children...grooms them ect.ect. The rest have rather normal lives and sex drives...they are married... act normal , they only "act out" to put it mildly when they have the opportunity...they Can control it...they choose not to.It's sick selfishness!!

Try splaining this word....Moot....originally it meant the opposite of what it now means. I just love this stuff!!

The adjective moot is originally a legal term going back to the mid-16th century. It derives from the noun moot, in its sense of a hypothetical case argued as an exercise by law students. Consequently, a moot question is one that is arguable or open to debate. But in the mid-19th century people also began to look at the hypothetical side of moot as its essential meaning, and they started to use the word to mean "of no significance or relevance." Thus, a moot point, however debatable, is one that has no practical value. A number of critics have objected to this use, but 59 percent of the Usage Panel accepts it in the sentence The nominee himself chastised the White House for failing to do more to support him, but his concerns became moot when a number of Republicans announced that they, too, would oppose the nomination. When using moot one should be sure that the context makes clear which sense is meant.

Still waters run deep.
A person is known by the company he keeps.

It's not what you say that counts, it's what you do.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Pride goeth before the fall.

If it's not broke, don't fix it.

I have a zillion more but ....i'll shut up now.
