Delusional

I have a cousin who is an avowed atheist.  She swears that she's a good person without needing external rules and guidelines imposed by an "imaginary friend/sky daddy." 

Given the things I've seen her post to FB, I would...not agree with her.  At all.  

I mean...

Yeah, let's look at this.  

I didn't particularly want to teach the kids that Santa brings gifts for kids on Christmas.  It's dumb.  And I'm really kind of sick and tired of the ruse--this is going to be the last year, since I have teenagers.  But it was useful while they were smaller to use the ruse to get them once-a-year expensive toys, and not have them begging us to get them expensive shit year-round.  

That said...there's no fucking way I think this  picture is remotely funny.  What the actual fuck.  

This isn't schadenfreude.  This is deliberately causing pain to a child. Hurting a child for the fun of it.  

I know she'd probably protest that it's "art," and "it's a joke," and "it's AI generated."  

Thing is...I've messed with AI art.  Bing Image Creator is actually a lot of fun to play with, and you can make some really gorgeous pieces with it.  

AI art is made by inputting descriptions.  This art was designed by someone who thought it was funny--was fun--to make a little kid cry on Christmas morning.  

This is the least of what I've seen her post.  

She mocks Christians by cherry-picking things from the Bible--that slavery's okay,* and polygamy,** and that horrific punishments, like "an eye for an eye" were allowed and encouraged.***  

And yet...

...and yet.  

Christians are not the ones posting things that show joy in deliberately causing pain, much less deliberately causing pain to the innocent among us.  Christians are not the ones suggesting that dissenters should be raped and tortured to death (yes, I've seen her post things like that).  

Full disclosure: yes, I laugh my ass off at people hurting themselves.  I think the shocked dismay that people who are suddenly thwapped with the consequences of their own freely-chosen actions and decisions is hilarious.  

I do not think causing pain to children is funny.  Nor do I think it's funny when a child  actively hurts him or herself because the adult in charge of their well-being either dropped the ball, or set them up.  

Nor do I think it's funny for adults to get hurt because someone lied to them, or set them up for the sake of a video prank.****

Love thy neighbor as thyself.  Love your neighbor as you would yourself.  TREAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU WOULD TREAT YOURSELF.  

It's not a difficult concept.  It's the base command in Christianity.  Love God, and love your neighbor. 

That is what makes a good person.  And atheists are far too prone to allowing the monkey-side--the fallen side--full control over their actions toward their fellow human beings.  Atheists are far too prone to dehumanizing those that don't march in philosophical lock-step with them.  

Atheists don't just go tribal--they go full monkey-band primal. Because they lack the guidance--the reason--to be better than their own worst impulses.  To do better than their own worst impulses.  

You know, my cousin swears she loves children.  That she'd never hurt them.  

Yeah.  I don't believe her.  And I won't let her be anywhere around my kids unsupervised.  

*Slavery isn't okay.  And the rules around slavery in the OT? Those put limits on how people were allowed to treat their slaves, and turned slavery into indenture.  The Israelites were required by God to offer freedom and adoption to their slaves every few years.  This, in contrast, to how horrific slavery was literally everywhere else, was a MASSIVE social change for the better.  

**Polygamy was everywhere.  Men died early and suddenly, and a woman alone was at enormous risk of victimization and violent death...or death of exposure and starvation.  

***An eye for an eye was a hard, upper limit, not a "this is the least of what you can expect." If someone puts out your eye, you're not allowed to do more and worse to him, much less his entire family, blood-line, city, and/or tribe.  Remember Jacob's sons, and what they did when their sister was taken in marriage without family permission (aka, "raped" which had different legal definitions in OT times). 

****It's not funny when teens self-harm because of the trans trend.  It's not funny when teens hurt their futures because they're told they must go to college, whatever the cost and however much debt they have to take on to get there.  It's not funny when people choose one focus over another because their advisors lied to them about income potential ("you'll keep a higher percentage!" but not "you can't charge as much, so your actual net will be far lower.").  It's not funny to sneak up on people and sucker punch them on video (although it's funny as hell when the jump-scare pranksters get shot).

I don't think I can imagine the frustration.

Okay, here's the story: a nineteen year old girl in Texas has some of the shittiest parents I can imagine.  I don't know if there was any abuse defined as such, but there's certainly a level of hampering her getting on with her life that I think merits at least a short prison sentence.

Alicia Pennington was born at home.  Her parents refused to file for a birth certificate, or a social security number.  She was home schooled, and never needed medical care.  There is no official record of this girl.  Her attempts to file for a delayed birth certificate were denied, because the judge said there wasn't enough evidence she was born to US citizens on US soil, and her parents refuse to testify to their citizenship...or hers. 

In my honest opinion, this smacks of a nearly perfect attempt to control the girl.  She isn't able to get a job, much less do anything else that even an illegal immigrant does as a matter of course, because everyone knows she's American but she can't prove it officially.   

I think her parents ought to be jailed until they cooperate, and any children still in their home need to be removed and processed for identification so that they cannot do this to another one of their kids. 

No, I'm not against home births (though I think the people who opt for them are gambling the life of both mother and baby, with how fast things can go critically wrong), nor am I against homeschooling.  What's gotten my back up in this case is that the parents are purposefully and maliciously crippling their daughter's chances at creating a successful life away from them. 

Way to show some balls, man.

So, the father of a six-year-old girl who's been bullied all year by a five year old boy decides that he's unhappy with the way the school has ignored his complaints, and decides to take out a restraining order on the boy. 

A restraining order.  On a five year old. 

What kind of man does that, rather than speaking to the bully's parents? or teaching his daughter to kick the bully in the nuts, and then reward her with a family trip when the school suspends her?

This is so far beyond ball-less that I wonder if the little girl is actually his, because I wouldn't think he'd be capable of fathering a child in the first place.

Then again, my kids won't go to public school in the first place.  And if they get suspended from their private school for standing up to bullies, then I'm damn sure going to request a return of what tuition is left, and homeschool them from that point on. 

And I will continue teaching them to stand up to bullying.

FFOT: Oh, for fuck's sake!

This dumb twunt deserves to be sent to lose any child she gives birth to for the rest of her life.  Seriously.  She claimed she didn't have the money to buy formula for her nine month old baby son, but pays a $300+ cable bill? 

Okay.  Let's say she had other priorities, other places that money had to go.  If that's the case, then why the fuck didn't she just breastfeed the poor mite?  It's not like she actually fucking had a fucking job, the fucking stupid fucking cum-burping gutter slut.

Starving a nine month old baby--a baby that should be fifteen pound or more, and nearly walking--to seven pounds and barely responsive deserves a specially reserved seat in the special hell Shepherd Book speaks of.

And she deserves to have any child she ever has or ever will give birth to immediately removed from her custody, and her right to be a parent permanently terminated. 

Here's another one...

...for the better dead list: a man tried pimping his four year old son out for sex. 

Someone needs to be put in general population when he goes to prison, and it needs to be let leak what he's in for. 

And in our local public school district...

...we have this.

Granted, innocent until proven guilty, and it's entirely possible that some kid that wanted something he didn't get made something up, but I'd rather not have my kids in public schools where getting screwed by a teacher is a greater likelihood than in private, parochial school. 

I'd be happiest if they'd cooperate with being home schooled.

If I hadn't ruled out public school already...

...this would do it. 

This is about fifteen or twenty minutes north of us. 

The thing I don't get is why, with charges of statutory rape and sodomy, this creature has a bail bond of only $5,000. 

Yes, you read that right.  Only five thousand dollars.  Not fifty, not five hundred.  Five thousand. 

And people wonder why I equate public school with child abuse.

Oh, come on, people!

So, kids are suspended if they fight back when bullied.  Now, they get felony charges for wiretapping for recording the bullying?

I have one thing to say, here:

The kid's parents enabled their son's abuse by putting him in that environment, and they are further abusing him by leaving him there.  It was not an easy decision for me to agree to put my kids in private school.  There is no way on earth I'd ever put them in public school.

Public school = child abuse.  End of story. 

Hmm...

I can't imagine doing this.  My children drive me mad, but I would never strap them into my car then drive into a body of water to drown them.  No way, no how.  That woman needs to have her current pregnancy delivered, then be tossed into a setting where she would never be anywhere near children ever again...maybe after having a sterilization procedure. 

But there was one thing I noticed in the piece: the kids are going to their grandparents.  Where is their father?  Or fathers? 

Doesn't surprise me.

Just read another story about a newborn baby thrown in the trash by his teenaged mother.  Ho-hum. 

Yet...people in the comments were shrieking about the evil of the act, like it's worse to throw away a baby that was still covered in afterbirth than it is to vacuum one out of the womb and kill it.

Honestly, people--what did you expect?  You make life disposable with pro-abortion laws and advocacy,* and assisted-suicide laws, and euthanasia laws, and then you scream about a young girl who's internalized the lessons you didn't realize you were teaching? 

Grow a soul, and stop holding the attitude that when someone else's life is inconvenient, it should be ended.  Stop pressuring the world to agree with your morality that it's okay to choose to end someone else's life.  Stop equating the murder of babies with using a condom or taking a birth control pill.

And maybe, just maybe, sixteen year old girls will stop seeing their new infants as disposable trash.

*I do not advocate changing the law to make abortion illegal for a doctor to perform--just illegal to choose as a "contraception" method after the heart starts beating.

Yet another one for the better dead list.

I do not have the words to express how disgusted and enraged I am.  Ronald Mazza needs to die.  Horribly.  Preferably with a colon shredded by shattered glass glued to a baseball bat.

Incredible.

If the whole "furlough" of "non-essential" federal employees hasn't been bad enough, there's tons worse: scenic view pull-offs in South Dakota have been blocked off with orange safety cones to prevent people from pulling over to take pictures (not that that would actually stop someone really determined), and people have been evicted from their homes because they're technically vacation homes set up on federal land. 

So.  The "chief executive" who is the park department's highest point in the chain of command has shown how petty he is.  Now, let me show y'all a little bit more:

Intimidation tactics on full display.  More here.  Because we all know that those Vietnam vets are just explosions waiting to happen, and if they can just trigger one attack...

More petty, meanness on display here.  We must do what the Spoiled Brat wants!  The shutdown is hurting the children!

How about doing his damnedest to scare the shit out of Grandma by threatening to let her starve and freeze on the streets?

The worst, I think, is here.  This page was the Amber Alerts page.  You know, the page where the alerts issued by states were displayed, permitting people all over the country to potentially recognize a kidnapping victim, and get help. 

So.  Petty, mean, and evil.  What more do we need to know about the "leader" of our nation?

Heh.

"The girl told police she was boarding the route 128 bus when "a creepy guy" got on and sat down across the aisle. 

Right away she could see that he had pulled down his pants and wanted her to look at him. Instead, she started recording the incident on her cell phone."

Here's hoping for a quick arrest.  And that she posted it somewhere for mockery.

Umm...sheriff, dude?

If a murderer is targeting child molesters on a registered sex offenders list, it's not random.  And he shouldn't be arrested, but trained and encouraged. 

If you're worried about crimes he may have committed against others, just watch him.  It's worth the risk to get rid of the rabid animals otherwise known as "rehabilitated" child molesters.

Here's a candidate for forced sterilization.

This bint needs all of her children removed from her custody, and then tied down and given a hysterectomy.  I'm torn about whether she deserves anesthetic or not.  What she doesn't deserve is any future contact with her children, or any chance to birth any more.

Seriously, who throws a baby in a car seat at a cop, screaming at him to shoot through the baby to get her while she runs away (abandoning two older ones in the car), over $260 worth of clothing?

Um...no.

I am so glad I found a small, conservative-friendly, family practice doctor's office long before I had kids.  I would so hate to have to deal with a pediatrician.  Especially when I don't know when one is going to pressure my kids toward being gay, or towards a relationship with a pedophile, because normal is "heterosexist."

News flash, dumbasses: homosexuality is abnormal.  Less than 1% of the population self-identifies as homosexual.  A further 9% self-identifies as either trans-gendered, or bisexual.  That, right there, is the definition of abnormal.  It is not normal.  It is practiced by a very small percentage of the population. 

And most of the time, it's biological combined with environmental.  Sometimes that environmental is a nasty pollutant the kid was exposed to in utero, and sometimes it's a kid that's been sexually abused, either imprinting on the abuser, or going the complete other direction.

In either case, it is not normal.  And all of the braying that it is normal will not make it so, and will just prove to the world that y'all are a bunch of jackasses.

Falling down on the job.

It is a mother's job to protect her children.  I take my job seriously--one of the things I do is regularly review the list and photos of our local area's registered sex offenders.  It's not easy (we live very close to an intersection of state lines for four states), but it's worth it to make sure that no one my children have contact with is a predator. 

Any mother who doesn't do this is failing in her primary job...and could pay the ultimate price.  Like this woman did.

Do I feel sorry for her?  Hell yes.  But I also want to grab her by the hair and beat her head against the ground for failing her daughter so very, very badly.

(As an aside, I'm also horribly angry with the state--with every state--for releasing these monsters instead of putting them down like the sick animals they are.  Child sex predators cannot be rehabilitated, and will re-offend in 97+% of cases.  Save the children.  Kill them all.)

The second biggest problem in education is parents in denial.

When we have a Lord of the Flies-type environment for our children to grow up in, is it any wonder that the coach's kids duct-tape the principal's kid and ass-rape him with a pencil? 

And, is it any wonder in the current parenting atmosphere that the coach refused to believe his kids did anything wrong?

And is it any wonder that, when it came out, the small town ostracized the victim, because the bullies/rapists were jocks, and coach's kids?

In a perfect world, those kids would have had enough respect for the other one that they wouldn't have hurt him.  Or, barring that, would have had their dad beat their asses until they couldn't sit down comfortably, either.  And the town would have banded together to ostracize the attackers, not the victim.

Since it's not a perfect world...is it any wonder that homeschooling is a growing trend?

Examples of bad parents.

Jessee Daniels has been working on renovating his father-in-law's home for a while.  He and his wife live next door. 

Recently, he and his wife chased a pack of wild dogs kids on four wheelers, four of them, off their property.  And the kids, in return, broke into the house under renovation, and did $40,000 worth of damage to the property (pictures of damages at the link). 

The kids were eight and ten years old. 

They're claiming that Daniels grabbed at least one of them by the throat, and threatened them with a hammer. 

Looking at the facts of the case, I'm thinking the little shits angels are lying exaggerating just a tad.  After all, it's clear that they've probably been coddled all their lives, and never seen an adult angry at them.

What I want to know is why this was permitted to happen?  Where was the parental supervision when they were riding the four wheelers?  Those things are dangerous, and kids that age have no concept of private property lines.  Apparently, those parents don't care much about what happens to their sprogs.

Next...why were the kids permitted to roam without the parents having any damn clue where they were and what they were doing?  This is not the same world that we grew up in, much less that of our parents.  Our neighbors don't give a shit about our kids, and won't look out for them.  With the inevitable result of the war on some drugs coupled with uncontrolled illegal immigration, the streets are a much more dangerous place than they were even fifteen years ago. 

The parents need to be arrested and charged with neglect and child endangerment, then fined $40,000 per parent per child involved.  Their children need to be removed and placed into either a foster home or their grandparents' care, and the parents jailed. 

And Daniels needs to be awarded the full amount--at least $160,000, if not more, assuming that there were two "parents" in the homes--rather than prosecuted for protecting his father-in-law's property.

Sometimes, the feds get it right.

Like they did in this case.  Bravo, guys.  Bravo.  Most excellent work in saving that little girl before the douche bag in question managed to decide what to do with her.

Now, to the judge that sentenced the sixteen year old boy posting pictures of the eleven year old girl he'd kidnapped, asking advice on how best to rape her but not get caught:

What the fuck!  Forty-eight months in a juvenile facility for that?  What the fucking fuck?  This is not a child's prank, idiot.  That "boy" needed to be tried and sentenced as an adult, with attention paid to mandatory minimum sentencing laws...then placed in the general population, with his crime broadcast over the PA system before he arrived!
