I acknowledge that I am irrational after a certain point on this subject. But this is the experience I had with this woman and I see the suffering her daughter went through and is going through.

I honestly think you have every right to be irrational at that. I certainly would be in your position. To allow/have allowed your child to suffer in such a manner is irresponsible, immoral, and a case of extremely bad parenting. And I honestly think that I'm just skimming the surface of what I could call that.

Quote:

The mother changed her song too. No longer is she claiming that it was justified within her religion, but that it never happened to begin with.

What utter bull. First she claims it's justified, and now she's denying the situation happened? Bullshit! At least take responsibility for your actions (or lack thereof). ********, she did something bad. Take the punishment like an adult instead of trying to preserve yourself.

I can only imagine what would happen to her daughter if a court ever ruled that the incident never occurred. Man, I sure hope this girl isn't in the custody of her wretch of a mother.

T Thorn Coyles Elemental Podcasts

This is the latest one. It should also be noted, that before Thorn put the podcast out, she opened up a discussion on her livejournal about the Frosts, where she went on about what she felt that we should neither demonize or regulate them to the sweet old couple, since there are significant problems that should be dealt with, beside the abuse -- Gavin is strongly anti-Christian, which causes many cringing moments on the podcast

That all said? This is really a good series. Lots of authors from all over, many of whom I wouldn't read their books, but when they speak, I like listening to them.

I agree. In additon to this, I have discovered a number of people who's books I really want to take a closer look at. I want to read trance portation!

It made my skin crawl listening to Gavin's "Won't Someone Think Of The Children!" Bawing.

yeppers...still nervous. i've been trying to get into enough shape that they won't beat me too hard.

EDIT: and i want THIS book!!! heart heart heart

You can't be in enough shape that they won't work you hard. If it looks easy, they'll just make it more intense for you. however, going with minimum running endurance, ability to stand motionless for protracted periods, and push-up talent won't hurt. wink

Good to hear, Calixti. 3nodding

And people get after me when I say that some people, and their entire philosophies, aught be scourged from the face of the world. I am told to be more understanding of the way of life and I need to develop more cultural relativism. Hrmph.
Evil is Evil, and it aught be opposed, not allowed to flourish because it is a valid philosophical alternative. rolleyes

Just because they might see it as a valid philosophical alternative doesn't mean you, I, or anyone else for that matter, have to condone *****, rape, racism, etc. sad

But the world I live in, the way I am, it's just as dangerous.
There is nothing save my own perspective that justifies my behavior.
Divine mandate can be had for just about anything, if you look hard enough...
So when I say I have a sacred duty, it really is less unique than it may seem.

When stand in judgment over a practice, a person or a culture...
I know I am right. I have been told many of histories most vile villains also knew they were right. What makes me fit to divide good from evil, fair from foul?

All I have to call upon is Gnosis, as expressed thru conscience at times.
As many people have noted, I refuse to refer to my own Gnosis with the U and P. For me to consider the knowledge sacred and Truth, I cannot have any doubt at all. It is not Unverified, for it is the very definition of Veritas, that it is pure and direct knowledge is all the verification I require. There is nothing Personal about it, it is Universal. Without this, how could I claim that something is vile, rather than just distasteful to me personally?

I live on what is plain to see is a slippery slope, with the conviction that suggests a perfectly flat and stable pillar of adamant.

Internally, I have no doubt. Intellectually, I think I should.
The Soul and the Mind war.

Wow, that rambled a bit farther than I intended.

Can't hack it in the big bad ED or M&R, so needs a hanky in the LD, cute.

Or, from the quote about loving arguments, I would instead say that Successful Troll is Successful.

I know. the M&R would actually make her think critically. She can use the LD as her hugbox.

And yea, I was thinking that too.

My favourite was when the person made the ascertain (on the first page nonetheless) that they are a real Wiccan not like the people saying it for attention. I wanted to ask how they qualify who was a real Wiccan and who wasn't. xd
