date : 20.03.07. foster mother eunice spry has been found guilty of subjecting children in her care to two decades of horrific abuse.. the 62-year-old, from tewkesbury, beat them, fed them rat droppings, stopped them sleeping and rubbed their faces with sandpaper.

she thrust sticks down their throats when they misbehaved and made them eat dog food.. one daughter was forced to use a wheelchair for four years even though she was perfectly able to walk.. doctors, teachers and neighbours raised constant concerns about spry's treatment of the children but nothing was ever done by social services.. the catalogue of abuse only came to light when one of the children went to the jehovah's witness elders at the church the family attended.. spry, from tewkesbury, was found guilty of 26 charges of cruelty after a three week trial at bristol crown court.

Would U Be Offended If A Lesbian Couple Showed Affection in A Public Place

in missouri at a ihop, a lesbian kissed another female (her gf) on the cheek, once while sitting in the restaurant.

the manager went over to the ladies and told them they were not welcomed there and therefore had to leave.

the women described the kiss on the cheek as a similar type of kiss to an "uncle".

I'd only be offended if I found out a hot show of two hot women making out happened and I missed it.

http://www.quackwatch.org/ is a phlog run by DELICENSED MD Stephen Barrett.To start off with Quackwatch was originally started, and funded, by 26 drug companies--hardly an unbiased source of information.All quackwatch does is badmouth anything that is new and messes with the status quo.Quackwatch, along with the insurance company Aetna, got their butts handed to them when they decided to pick on Bob Jones, the creator of a machine called Cavitat, that can detect cavitations in the mouth long before an x-ray can.With this lawsuit, Aetna was taking articles off the Quackwatch site and using them as fact, and then using the articles to deny claims for the use of the cavitations machine, and then for any treatments based on the findings of that machine.They had a paper written by Dodes and Schissell at dentalwatch.com that was touted as a scientific paper but was nothing but crap which no peer-reviewed journal would publish on its site but quackwatch put on its website as fact.Aetna chose to accept this paper as fact and got called on it and sued and they lost.You can read all about it here: http://www.bolenreport.net/feature_articles/feature_article023.htm

How polite are you?

by JH in

often i'm following someone into a building and entering the same door, and most of the times, the person in front won't even try to keep the door open so that it wont close in my face.

knowing that someone is right behind me, i'll even wait a second or two and hold the door open for that person.

i guess it has to do with being well educated.

I've always been polite and held the door open for people when they're walking in or give them my seat if they look like they could use it. I admit I tend to be chivalrous and go the extra mile if it's a lady.....but sometimes I get strange stares or whatever. Not sure how to take it other than they don't have that done too often to them and they're not sure what to make of it.
