  When ignorance leads to tragedy

  by designs in

  2. current

  on the news this morning was the almost unbelievable news that a pakistani husband and wife killed their daughter for 'looking at a boy'.

  her manner of being killed is even more shocking as the parents poured acid on this girl.. there were 943 'honor killings' reported in pakistan this year with only 20 of the women being given any medical care before they died.. looking at the opposite sex.

  one of the most natural responses we have as humans is construed as 'sin' and with it all of the religious and social prejudices that can and do lead to tragedy.. some day these cultures, bound by religious myths and superstitions, will change with education and understanding but it seems a long way off, to distant to have saved this young girl.. as the father of a daughter who i would protect at all costs this just leaves me shaken and i wonder how to reach those young people so they don't grow up to be like their parents..

  This is a strange planet many very different worlds exist side by side. Even within different countries varied cultures operate. Personally i dislike cultures because they may seem colorful and have costumes and dances and weird foods but they are prisons for the people who live within their walls. JW's live in a prison culture bound and limited by strange rules these places seem to oppress females more often than not. i don't see a change coming anytime soon.

  Loss and Loneliness

  tonight's sunset is as spectacular as any i had ever viewed from the kitchen window in my former, beloved home-sweet-home.. a tiny abode it was compared to my current habitation.

  no longer within a mere four wooden walls of plain aspect and diminutive scale, i now am lost in a seeming infinite architectural spread that reaches toward earth's four points, an edifice of four expansive levels that demand i walk, climb, explore every one of thousands of hidden nooks and crannies.

  i am compelled to do this but find no joy in discovery.

  Loss and Loneliness raises it's ugly head again

  The jersey shore it's magic sunk beneath the waves. I was born and raised in NJ and every summer i stayed at my aunt and uncle's house in what was then Bricktownship it was the best time of my young life I wasn't a JW so i spend hours at the beach as a little girl we went to the boardwalk in pt pleasant and as a teenager it was seaside heights boardwalk. i think back and it had a smell and a sound and we thought it would always be there. i remember they had one of these turning barrels you had to try to walk through at seaside and another girl and her little brother and me tried to get through the barrel and he fell and then we fell and couldn't get out and they had to stop the ride for us. It's funny the things you remember. An old sea captain who lived next door worked at the mantoloking bridge opening the bridge for boats and we went under it in my uncle's boat and he opened the bridge for us even though we didn't need it. My memories of the shore are about 50 years old watching tv and seeing the arial view of all the destruction was strange it looks so different so built up and so destroyed. My mother lives in brick she's alright and today her power is back and her home is not destroyed.

  A Backwoods Lake

  by compound complex in

  .

  deep and black is a backwoods lake whose menace is not at surface seen, but lurks with tangled limbs seeking unwary souls who too close by fall- ing banks have plied their innocent but foolish footfalls -- danger!

  the thump, thump of which alerts the spirits of the lake to rise, to seek what goodly manner of flesh comes to sate a ghoulish palate that knows no limit to what is acceptable upon which to dine and accompanying good taste.

  Whos is King of North?

  2. beliefs

  i think it's iran.. they're straight up crazy wackos whos main goal is to create caliphate, world under one islamic law.

  they actually believe they can accomplish this by causing great tribulation themselves with nuclear attack.. according to their belief, when theres great tribulation in the world, allah will come down and destroy non-muslims and will bring paradise.

  so if they blow up nuke, it will speed up the process.

  I'm searching for what i can really know about what we are and what's really going on and then when i get tired of that i switch gears and find things that are pleasurable to me and enjoy life as much as I can considering I have no idea what the purpose of life really is.

  Voltaire

  although he has been misquoted, voltaire famously said.

  "i do not agree with what you have to say, but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.".

  how good it would be if this maxim could be held on this board.
