Ken,

That is very disturbing....9 to 13 year old. That is depressing to see somebody who felt the need to do that. I am glad they caught him and hopefully he will get punished by the law to the extent that he will not have the opportunity again to do that and to set an example for others out there that it will prevent it in the future. Can you imagine all of those children involved in that and how that will shape their minds with their future to come? It really is the root of a devious society to come...in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing Ken.




As a final thought....what on God's green Earth would possess somebody to do something like that? Again, thankfully he was caught.

Thanks Ken for the link. I am checking it out right now.

Music,

I think if you take the time to read all my comments, you will get a better idea of where I am coming from. To sum it up for you, it is somewhat surprising to see that there were three reports of three different women abusing children in the past week on the news channels I have watched. I think something this distasteful should have been talked about and that is why this blog exists.

Yes. The blog did go off on a tangent here and there but the main focus has been the theme. If you want to personally attack me to address these three women in the news, that is fine with me. I don't think that is going to help better understand the situation to hopefully correct or prevent it in the future.

Again, thank you for your response.



As a side note: I watch HLN, Fox, and MSNBC for my news. It was on these channels that I seen the reports of three different women abusing the children. I really do not know...and I want to repeat it again....I really do not know, maybe these news stations are targeting a specific gender?? All I know, what they have reported is alarming to me and I felt it would be a good topic to try and get to the bottom of what is going on.

Again, I do not know...but with what Sem has posted, it sounds like a gender war is going on/or in the making. Maybe talking about things will help smooth out any issues between genders....if there are any issues between genders. Communication is the key for hashing out any differences. Obviously we are all human and we are all subject to imperfection.

That makes sense Ian with the objectification and lack of love. Hmmm, maybe in time the way things are going may then benefit the family making it stronger. Transitions usually come with bumpy roads.

Ian....thanks for the advice, I am sure one day it will come in handy.

KN,

I promise you that I know not ALL women are bad.

I promise you that I know that some men, like women, are bad.

Yes, I am aware that I have pointed out negative things about SOME women who were in the news that I just happen to watch.

I promise you, that I am generally a very positive person. However, there are some things that I feel are important/interesting to be talked about.

and...

I promise you that next blog that I post about women will be a positive one. I am sure it will not be that difficult for me to do because there are a lot of positive things that women are responsible for. :)

I am sorry if you feel that I am being unfair to women. But, I do have some genuine questions/concerns that I would like to explore potential answers for. I know that it may seem that I am trying to qualify my apology, but I am sorry.

Women are beautiful people and many that I have met, know, and are friends with have beautiful humble hearts.

Ian, I agree totally with you. However, some men are ignorant to the fact that the woman is not satisfied because it would be common for women to fake it. I think this is an area where good mature conversation between adults could resolve the problem.

But...


Yes, a man should not be selfish in the bedroom.

RE: Top 10 Movies

Top ten songs of all time. Something from Pink Floyd should be on there. ....maybe from U2 as well. :)

Calm,

If we continue to view the world in extremes, it will be difficult to find any common ground. When you state: can we stop blaming Eve for ALL the evil....that is an extreme statement.

All...is a very powerful word.


I would prefer to look at it as some of the evil.

as

Men are also responsible for some of the evil.


Looking at it from an extreme perspective will surely cause you to be less than happy...I'll bet on that.

Sem,

Thank you for the information there. Again, do I dare say that does not reflect well on women? But I am thinking that several (not all) women are convinced that men are the bad apples.

Thank you Sands. You summed it up pretty well, better than I could have. And I don't mind taking all the blame. lol I don't owe anybody anything....just trying to keep things somewhat real and in perspective.

CC...

Yes. Males and females both are guilty. This blog was written at a time when two female teachers were called out in the news. And now today, a third female teacher from Colorado has been shown on HLN. But, we all know males are equally as capable as females. I just hope the legal system incarcerate both genders equally. There has to a big enough punishment to prevent this sort of behavior in the future.

Thanks for your post.

Aa....

I might have talked about Christians, because I am one. But you are correct, there are many good people from many other faiths.

What you have posted, I believe, sums things up pretty well when it comes to religion.

Thanks for the post.

Can,

I agree with what you say. Especially with what you say about the churches today. Malachi Martin talks a lot about how our current church system is becoming more and more corrupt. Unfortunately, he fell down some stairs and is no longer with us.

BB,

When legal adults are with legal adults, what they do is fine as long as there is consent with peoples involved.

As far as the social stigma attached to them. Well, that is something that probably needs to be talked about as well. I agree, it should not be less socially acceptable for a woman who sleeps around, than it is for a man.

That is for a whole different blog, but a good topic to be talked about.

Thanks for your post.

KN,

It may seem like I am singling out women only, and in this case, I was. You may like to know that on HLN (news), they just showed another female teacher in Colorado who became a friend with her student and things moved forward from there.

I am singling out women because that is what is being reported in the news currently. HLN / Fox / MSNBC are the three main news channels I watched. In the past week or so, there were three reported female teachers taking advantage of her students.

Not only is it sick, but it is also kind of ironic how men have been labeled pigs for so many years. Women were suppose to be the nurturing and loving type. With what is in the news these days, it seems as if the table has turned a bit.

Apparently there are currently men abusing students also...and I am not saying that does not happen, because I am sure it does. But on the three news stations I am watching, they are showing female teachers only in the past week.

Make what you want out of that.

Thanks KN

2B....

That is another good point. The one they just showed today on HLN, the female Colorado teacher became a friend with her student and things escalated from there.


Thanks for your post.

Ish,

I may not have children, but it is very alarming to me as well that this is going on. The children are protected by law for a reason. But yet these teachers still continue to take advantage.

The funny thing, I just seen another case on HLN shown today. Do I dare say it was another female teacher? Well, it was. But, I am not just picking on women here. I am just relaying and commenting to the information I am currently seeing in the news.

Ek...

Interesting. You know, it might be possible that ways things are today are exactly how they always been. Maybe with technology, it is just more difficult to hide it from the authorities.

I like the way you address personal responsibility. That does make sense.

Robert....you fall within the sensible male friends of mine.

Thanks Robert for your eye opening comments and for your fun. Your friend sounds like a somewhat smart man. Maybe somewhere down the road he could petition the college for a lab in that class.

Take care and have a good night.

In addition Calm, I do have many friends who are women. A lot of times, I find them more sensible than some of my male friends. They are good people.

Calm...

I don't know if I would call it angry. I would like to think of it more as frustrating. Is there a difference?

But, no. I have no quarrels with the female gender. However, there are specific subjects that pertain to females and I feel that I might have some useful information to contribute. Maybe I can work on my sugarcoating skills a little bit though.


Like with Cat's blog....I thought I had some useful information for him.

With Robert's blog...I thought it was important to get a better image of the full spectrum of love.

Was I charming about my responses? Probably not so much. But, I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. I will try and make them a bit more pleasant.

Usha,

The way I think it might be happening is...


You remove or convince people to remove religion from their lives and pretty soon the benefits of doing bad deeds outweigh the benefits of doing good.


But,

You are right, I think waking up might help.

sorry Ian...


physical sizes between the genders

Robert, when is the last time you heard about a male teacher taking advantage of a female student in the news?


I am guessing it probably has been some time....because men get the key thrown away when they get sentenced.

RE: Women!!!

oops....was in a hurry when typing my last comment....a lot of typos.

But the message is there.

RE: Women!!!

Have fun with that Cat. With women, silence is a verbal answer too.

You cannot win with them. Just tell them the way it is. Of course if you are a respectful person, they will know that too and will realize you are not trying to be rude.

They are social geniuses. Just keep that in mind.

RE: Women!!!

...and by telling them what is really on your mind, you become a "man" by some women's definitions.

RE: To the lover

Thank you Shan...you too.


Kinda a bad place to wish all those lovers out there a romantic day...but, I get what you mean.
