Warning, high anger risk...Some months ago an illegal alien Salvadoran teen egg donor threw her newborn son out an apartment window. The poor little thing fell screaming & crying & landed face down in an alley I can personally by experience attest is in a neighborhood that is a dump. He now is in MGH being treated for seizures & brain bleeds, and of course the egg donor wants him back. Immigration & Customs Enforcement has a detainer on her, so I guess she must remain in jail.
I read the newspaper in a local cafe, and now egg donor is claiming "violent rape in El Salvador, where the rapist threatened to kill her if she told her family." ?! Not only can this probably not be proved, but how is that going to change anything? Did she really think her family wouldn't find out? Some individuals can hide weight gain during a pregnancy with loose fitting clothes (I did), but how was she going to hide the baby? Anyone see premeditation here? I believe it takes a gynecological exam to determine if a woman has given birth, and this story is months old, so I forget how the egg donor was located. Does she think she's spared now that they not only know but she told others? She's 18, that makes her an adult, why not plead guilty & be deported? The end results are the same & she'll probably be deported anyhow.
What makes me mad, besides the poor little baby's fate, is this: CAN NO WOMEN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS ANY MORE?! OR MEN, FOR THAT MATTER?! I think it's pretty sad when a woman sentenced to death by beheading in rural Iran for adultery can fess up and say, "The man came, I enjoyed him, this is how we live in these parts, I'm going to my death", while some women here make up tales of rape that may or may not have taken place, or come up with a story (swear I'm not making this up it took place at Harvard U) of being "discriminated against for being black & dressing sexy, while the white employees who dressed sexy got away with it." ?! How about dressing respectably, like with your cleavage covered, for your library job? The story about the Iranian woman I read in one of the Francophone sources at my inlaws' place. Lebanese & western "womens rights activists" were seriously trying to get her to claim rape in order to spare her life when even her children had turned against her, and her severed head was to be kicked around a soccer stadium, and she said "No, I did it, I live by the laws of these parts, that's it." I put the words in quotations that I did because these people are more like three year olds licking the icing off a cupcake & throwing the cake out than like adults...they seriously pursue icing on the cake matters like veils and arranged marriages when there are much bigger human rights violations they keep their silence about, but this woman in a part of the world that's so backwards she determined the sex of her unborn by the animal that crawled out from under a rock...something like if it's a bug it's a girl, lizard it's a boy...accepted responsibility for her actions while some in the industrial superpower of the world continue to blame others. Sad commentary on the results of feminism, IMNSHO.
I don't know the exact cases you are mentioning here, but I do agree that more and more, people just don't take responsibility for their own actions. It's always someone else's fault.
Well, if she wasn't raped before, she certainly should be now! That's fucking disgusting. If she didn't want the child, she should've aborted the fetus or given up the child for adoption after he/she was born, not thrown him/her out a window! Gods bless the baby. Some people deserve to be tortured.
Many (obviously not all) blacks in America tend to start the race card bullshit to get things. It's old and annoying and takes away from the few who really do face discrimination. Mom told me, a few years ago, that she saw this woman in her 90's on television who's mother or grandmother was a slave. And she basically told the young blacks to knock it off and that they have no idea what real discrimination is. I'm glad at least someone has her head on straight. In any case, I don't care what your race/ethnicity is. There is absolutely no excuse for dressing in anything but a respectible and/or formal fashion when working in a library. You don't have to go as far as a suit and tie but nice pants and a decent shirt go a long way.
I see this concept of not taking responsibility happening again and again in Greece. There are those who blame The Turks, The Albanians, FYROM and the recent influx of immigrants for many of our problems. But while these are all very serious issues, and while they must be dealt with soon, they're not the cause of everything. Ever since gaining independence from The Turks in 1821, with the exception of a few wars and conflicts, our worst enemy has been us! It's ridiculous: the fighting, mud slinging etc. that goes on in Greek politics and even in daily life. And now, instead of trying to change things, many people are leaving Greece to the immigrants and the politicians and going abroad. I realise that some really have no choice, but others do and still they leave. If we don't wake up and start admitting to ourselves that we must take responsibility for our actions and stop the politicians from stealing everything, I think there won't be a Hellenic Republic in a few years because there will probably be a civil war that splits the country up! That's the ultimate price for not taking responsibility. Personally, whenever I do something, I'm usually the first to admit it, and if not, then I eventually do rather than lie. It's alot easier to face something when it's a mole hill rather than after it's turned into a mountain.
Spongebob you're sayin what the rest of us are thinkin' ... yet again.
Any woman says I'm a man, and thus can't possibly know, well, I'm blind and yet I take responsibility for everything I do / did, both good and bad, smart and tomfool. I don't see it helping women to blame their sexuality or gender or whatever, any more than I would expect it to help us if we started running around blaming everything on being blind.
I had a professor told me once when I was eighteen, he had a blind person come into his class, probably an activist or something, make a big deal first about how they wanted to be like everyone else. Then proceeding to ask for a ton of special exceptions, not simple stuff like 'try and remember to say what you wrote on the board' or needing to take tests with a reader, but all sorts of exceptions most of us wouldn't ask for. People who do this may be activists, but they don't help 'their own kind,' as it were, not even themselves.
Personally I think women like you who are out doing life speak a lot louder than any academe feminista type. Fortunately juries are made of women as much as men, so it's up to women to be less sympathetic to the excuses of their own kind.
I get the feeling by some of your posts you are kinda alone there in Taxachussetts ... but there are others around that feel the same as you.
Agreed. It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman. Wrong is wrong. Even PMS and severe hormonal imbalances, which do exist, should be treated/examined before they ever get to that point, especially if the woman feels that they could lead to a dangerous situation.
If you hurt a defenseless child, you deserve the worst pains that someone could possibly inflict on you. In fact, your sentence should be specially made just for you so that it causes you in particular the most shame, discomfort and agony possible, lased on your personality, mind and physical state.
That bein said:
I hate people.
If she gets him back, I'm leaving the country, I really am. whatever it takes.
I wouldn't wish rape on anyone, but whether she was raped or not, that doesn't excuse what she did. She'd better not get him back. In fact, I think she should personally have to watch the suffer she caused him. Of course, if she's the type of person to throw a baby out a window, that probably wouldn't phase her much, as sad as that is.
Thanks for your kind words Leo. As far as being "kinda alone" here, it's true. Mr. Sponge will be out of the states until the 21st, and I gave up the friendship aspect of my life some time ago. Female friendships ended disastrously, best work friend is a guy, and I don't want to cause him & his wife an awkward situation or tie up the work line too long while I'm on vacation. Sometimes it's hard, but it gives me a chance to prioritize the two most important people in my life & have fun & learn here.
