And they say that teaching abstinence isn't the answer..
How about being 29 and being a grandmother? This woman had her baby at 14 and her 15 year old just had a baby...well so much for safe sex! You would think that the mother would have had enough common sense to teach her daughter better and talked to her daughter about putting her baby up for adoption!
So the British teacher that who's class named a teddy bear Muhammad will not be whipped or killed (thank God!!), but she is sentenced to like two weeks in jail and deportation (thank God for deportation or someone would murder this poor woman).
So a bunch of Sudanese "protesters" went to some martyr's square and demanded she be executed in front of a firing squad. Wow. That's tolerant. Okay, so let me be tolerant for a moment and say what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Round up the folks belonging to this previously unheard of Society for Support of the Prophet Muhammad and shoot them all by firing squad since they named their group using the name Muhammad.
Ya know...here in America - we have "tolerance" (or at least so it is said - that's another soap box I could get on to). Also, the same laws (unless you are oh, insanely rich like Paris Hilton) apply to everyone.
How about trying that? Running the laws straight across the board. I am proud of the student that stood up for his teacher. It was not the teacher that named the bear; sure she allowed it - but is it wrong for children to associate something they love with a god or prophet they love?
It is said that children often view God by looking at their parents...can you imagine how most of those students and children in Sudan view their god? Vengeful, angry, and out to get them for any little thing.
Baby Grace's mother could have easily left her at the hospital, signed over her rights, and walked away. Yet no, we have one more tiny angel in heaven - she left this world with three skull fractures, after being beaten with leather belts, and held under water.
I think she should be sterilized - and her boyfriend, too. What I really want to know is why no one looked harder into this "Ohio" mystery social worker. Had I been that child's grandmother, aunt, etc etc (insert female relative here) - I would be calling every DHS office Ohio has to see if it was true...and then I would have called the police and reported her missing myself. Sadly, you can't leave all parents to be parents...especially ones that shack up with people they meet on the internet at a moment's notice.
Because I would hate for this to be all my daughter would aspire to be...of course me and her daddy and her brothers probably wouldn't even let her date until she was 35..but this? Really? This is a real competition? A beauty pageant - I am not even all that crazy about those...but this.....
Wait, though, until you hear the reason why. This person is on a mom's site googled her nickname (I use practicalchick or practical chick for everything so I am pretty easy to find online LOL). She was upset that her profile, her messages (and thus every thing she said about her hubby negative) would be able to be found by him if he was to try and find it.
My response was pretty simple - something along the lines of don't say anything to anyone about your hubby that you wouldn't want him to say about you to someone else...but that is just my opinion.
The last three words, to me, are the key words. She responded to me that if he found it then screw it, he deserved to know. My thought - that I did NOT post was that if the problem was that bad why not go to him instead of a bunch of people that you know nothing of?
Some other person said I was being "judgmental" because more than 50% of marriages end in divorce...gee - I wonder why. If was was being nagged, harped on, put down, etc etc - I wouldn't hang around either because it is pretty obvious I could never please you in any fashion.
Yeah - me living by the golden rule and loving the First Amendment and following God's rule about not nagging (hey - I understand that everyone needs to vent from time to time)...that makes me "judgmental". What do you think about it?
