At last glance .. it was against the law for parents to do their job as parents .. The state thinks it can do a better job of parenting.

If parents, and everyday people in general, would wrest control of their schools from the department of education .. and if parents were free to dicipline their children, then we would see much less of these kinds of situations happening.

How is it against the law for a parent to do their job? A parent can be a role model, a parent can discipline, etc...

And please don't try the because spanking is illegal, since of course, it is legal in all 50 states.

I am disappointed that there is a racial spin being put to this. I saw this far more as a gender issue then a racial one. My heart bled for this young girl when I heard of this story. I know first hand how sensitive a young girl can be especially when it comes to her sexuality. I hope they get go to jail till they die. I would even condone castration (kidding....maybe.)

Me too, I think this isn't an issue of race, but one of cultural values, sexism, mob mentality, and a lack of empathy with the urban youth of today.

No, this is what happens when there is an acceptance of violence against women in our culture. From music lyrics and music videos, to video games, to television and movies, violence against women has become so commonplace that teenagers are becoming numb to it all.

UPDATE 1-Violence against women, female teens, surges on TV | Reuters

Quote:
LOS ANGELES, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Incidents of violence against women on mainstream U.S. television has increased by 120 percent in the past five years, with the depiction of teen girls as victims rising by some 400 percent, the Parents Television Council said in a report on Wednesday.
Rape is never about sex. It is about control.

Default The news is happening

Following up to my earlier post here - Now we are seeing coverage.

That's good. Bravo to CNN and the others.

I would like to clarify what I said.

I am not saying that one group or another is worse than others. Let's face it, these types of creeps come in all colors.

What I am concerned about is that when it comes to a white victim, there is rarely the issue of bias brought up. And this is wrong. Bias should always be investigated when you have a group of one race targeting someone from another race - That is only fair.

Otherwise there will be a great backlash - And that will lead to divisions in our society.

It's just like I mentioned about this Attorney General, a few months ago making all the noise about the lack of honesty about race....Nice sound-bite, until it sunk in just what may come out in an "honest discussion". And now it's a sound-bite no more.

And by that, I mean that perhaps an honest look at things would show that all groups are closer in "bad doings" than some people like to think.

Bravo. It needs to be said. I try to explain that to people sometimes but many really do not understand it is an act of violence.

Thank you.

Default sexual revolution brainwashing exposed

If there is absolutely no sex involved in rape then why does the penis penetrate the vagina during the act? If it is only an act of violence why not just use a bat or knife? Why don't they use penis' to rob banks? Why deny that rape is the marriage of sex and violence by saying that it is only violence? The truth is is that the sex urge drives the whole act.

This is like saying that there is no death in hunting only eating. Indeed there is death in hunting and there certainly is sex in rape. It is the strong sexual passion that drives the violence in rape, the same way the hunger urge drives the violence in hunting. Overheated sex urges along with anger is the emotional cocktail that drives rape.
