  1. Sorry, LindaZ, just to clarify, my comments are not directed at the Kraut comment, I am speaking toward a specific undercurrent attitude present at GS, that I believe Socks has been alluding to for some time.  It is directly related to the quote on my post.

    I actually think the racial slur argument is a little trivial since no one is gonna make Garth say he's sorry, he's stated that is the way he feels....the thread originally was about a more important topic than racial slurs in my opinion, but I digress.

    I am more upset the N word got spelled out in two separate sylables, but to be democratic, if we allow kraut we have to allow the N word spelling reference...so be it.

    (edited for clarity)

  2. The word "kraut" is only representative of the way topics are engaged here on GS, and I realize that's completely acceptable and reasonable to some of you. That's my point and it may spark some alternative thinking here and there, maybe a little, maybe a lot, maybe not at all.

    Ok, I'll bite...

    Why can't people heal at their own pace, why does there have to be an attitude police here that mandates nothing derogatory be said about VPee?  People react differently to the news of VPee's pervertedness, the many horrors of his life and twi's rule.  Why is there this constant  attempt to regulate everyone's own response to that?  

    People will forgive when THEY'RE ready to forgive, everyone's timeline is different, I don't think it can be mandated by someone else.  I think being an example of it (forgiveness) is a bigger witness than beating someone over the head with it.

  3. Yeah, I know of an early Corps couple whose teenage daughter LCM helped himself to, it's too bad they believed the hype, they shoulda been smarter.  They were even campus coordinators, they probably made bad decisions though, especially the ones that allowed their daughter to be in proximity to LCM, even though they lived three hours apart.

  4. Wow, this is weird, I was listening to NPR today and they had a story about a federal judge who was impeached for continuous sexual harrassment of his staff, he's going to jail, but he's refusing to step down and intends to continue receiving his benefits and salary for a year while he's in serving his prison sentence...the public is actually debating about whether that's acceptable or not.

    The argument over whether he deserves to keep the taxpayer's money while he's in prison, reminds me of the same people who refuse to acknowledge that vpw did anything wrong and think he's their "father in the word"!  :asdf:

    Regarding the thread article, I too think this judge needs a lot more experience and should get a clue, I've had at least 4 friends, that are girls, tell me they were raped, maybe more if I think about it for a while, and all were telling the truth, none of them reported it to the authorities.  It would take a lot of guts to bring this type of case to trial, most don't want to go thru it.

  5. I own up to my sins. . . but, if anyone thinks I am taking on the sins of others. . . they have me mixed up with a VERY different person.

    I can't imagine anyone doing that, it would be irrational and unfair, I don't think anyone here views anyone else here like that....unless your inicials are LCM? :huh:
