our co came galloping into town this week.
in his tuesday talk, these were his comments (not word for word, but more or less):.
"i imagine one of the biggest problems in your territory is not-at-homes.
Idiot.
here's my take on the video from the society about child abuse.
thanks to those who posted the links and downloads that made it possible.
i used the letter that fatfreak received from the lady on the video.
Great job! Favorited, rated, and posted elsewhere!

As I was just watching some of the ex-jw videos on youtube, I saw that many of them have had the comments section disabled. What the hell is that about? I was putting links to Grace's, Lady Lee's and some other videos on another site, and noticed that no comments were being allowed.

watched this tonight after the high school winter band program..... i have 3 teenagers, two still at home... they watched part of it and drifted a way........ .
excellent insights into the behaviour of teens!
it can be viewed on the pbs.org website.... if ya deal with, live with or love one (or more), this is gonna rock your world!.
Too bad the stupid judge didn't get to watch this before ruling that Dennis was MATURE!!
One Reason Teens Respond Differently to the World: Immature Brain Circuitry
We used to think that teens respond differently to the world because of hormones, or attitude, or because they simply need independence. But when adolescents' brains are studied through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we see that they actually work differently than adult brains.
Many teen subjects failed to interpret the emotion in faces like this one as fear.
At the McLean Hospital in Belmont, Mass., Deborah Yurgelun-Todd and a group of researchers have studied how adolescents perceive emotion as compared to adults. The scientists looked at the brains of 18 children between the ages of 10 and 18 and compared them to 16 adults using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Both groups were shown pictures of adult faces and asked to identify the emotion on the faces. Using fMRI, the researchers could trace what part of the brain responded as subjects were asked to identify the expression depicted in the picture.
The results surprised the researchers. The adults correctly identified the expression as fear. Yet the teens answered "shocked, surprised, angry." And the teens and adults used different parts of their brains to process what they were feeling. The teens mostly used the amygdala, a small almond shaped region that guides instinctual or "gut" reactions, while the adults relied on the frontal cortex, which governs reason and planning.
As the teens got older, the center of activity shifted more toward the frontal cortex and away from the cruder response of the amygdala.
Yurgelun-Todd, director of neuropsychology and cognitive neuroimaging at McLean Hospital believes the study goes partway to understanding why the teenage years seem so emotionally turbulent. The teens seemed not only to be misreading the feelings on the adult's face, but they reacted strongly from an area deep inside the brain. The frontal cortex helped the adults distinguish fear from shock or surprise. Often called the executive or CEO of the brain, the frontal cortex gives adults the ability to distinguish a subtlety of expression: "Was this really fear or was it surprise or shock?" For the teens, this area wasn't fully operating.
When reading emotion, teens (left) rely more on the amygdala, while adults (right) rely more on the frontal cortex.
Reactions, rather than rational thought, come more from the amygdala, deep in the brain, than the frontal cortex, which led Yurgelun-Todd and other neuroscientists to suggest that an immature brain leads to impulsivity, or what researchers dub "risk-taking behavior." Although it was known from animal studies and brain-injured people that the frontal cortex matures more slowly than other brain strucures, it has only been with the advent of functional MRI that researchers have been able to study brain activity in normal children.
friends and classmates of a 16-year-old girl who police say was murdered by her devout muslim father in a toronto suburb told local media tuesday she was killed for not wearing a hijab.
police said in a statement they received an emergency call at 7:55 am local time monday from "a man who indicated that he had just killed his daughter.
the victim, aqsa parvez, was "rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries, but tragically passed away late last night.
I don't know why, but as a woman it makes me soooooo MAD to see these women going around with napkins on their heads!!!!!! I feel so proud of that young woman rebelling against this nonsense, but saddened by the consequences. I think the laws in America and Canada should be extremely stiff for anyone pushing this on someone against their will. When these people come to live in our country it needs to be a requirement that they are ready to obey "our" laws.
