All this pedophillia stuff is making me sick.

[MiniMandaRuth]

Ugh. To think that this happened to girls my age, to boys my friends age. With dirty adults whose greed consumes their body and mind.

Makes me want to be sick. And it also has me on my toes. Not to be paranoid or anything, but when I walk around in the store, I'm looking over my shoulder.

:puke: I detest thinking about what would happen if something like this happened to my best friend, my boy friend... or even me.

I'd kill 'em first, though. No one, and I mean no one, will lay their hands on me without my consent.

1. Don't bother with carrying mace, oven cleaner works much better

just aim for the eyes and mouth.

2. That could mean serious chemical burns and scars for both parties

Better to use mace or high-potency pepper spray. Same stopping power, but no lasting injury to either attacker or defender.

Peace.

3. Hey, I have always urged my women students to carry mace:

6. Stay away from oven cleaner.

Dangerous shit dude. Don't use it. Bad advice folks!!!

"Blowback" a serious possibility. Oven cleaner contains LYE! An extremely corrosive poison. Sodium Hydroxide, high PH number like 14 or so.

Get hit with your own pepper spray and you'll feel like shit for three hours and wish you were dead. However you will survive normally.

Get hit with oven cleaner?

Blind for life.

Don't fuck w/it!

4. Mean spirited Liberals..

I am a hateful Liberal. I hate people who protect Child Molestors from punishment.



Other matters of GOP "wisdom":

Nuking Iran is a wise foreign policy decision.

Disapproving of the Bush Administration's handling of any matter is a sign of a hateful, mean spirited person.

In summation:

Ann Coulter has found peace in her heart,

Cindy Sheehan is an ungrateful bitch.

5. way back when I was 15, my father told me and my older sister

that we had to quit running around the house in our underwear, even upstairs between bedrooms, when his friends were over. We took 1 look at him, went "ewwwwwww" and pranced away. Now I am older than those 45 yr old guys and shake my head in amazement at teenagers. I am feeling old.

8. it is hideous ....hang in there ..

[marions ghost]

9. yeah

I got to the 'cesspool running over' stage yesterday. Sexual predation is an icky subject to contemplate. After awhile you feel like you have black goo on your shoes. Mr. Rogers starts to look suspicious. And what about that slimy Barney always invading kids' personal space?

It's discouraging that this sexual sickness is what gets attention after all the other predatory crimes of this administration. And yet in this case we wouldn't want it NOT to get attention and be swept under the rug as it has for so many years apparently. So we have to put up with the ick factor. But I know what you mean. When the sleeze bubbles over, it can feel like we all got vomited on.

What makes me so mad is that adults knew it was going on and turned the other way. I think we're all having flashbacks to the pedophile priest case, where the exact same thing happened. Makes me feel like we're living in 'Lord of the Flies'--or to update that image--it would be more like South Park these days.

But what do you expect in a country that condones torture, secret wiretapping and wars for profit? A society that thinks invasions of privacy and crossing boundaries is OK in the big picture will not adequately protect children from predators.
