In the news

That whole quiverful thing totally creeps me out. It is like obeying someone who is telling you to constantly bear and give birth to babies like you are a machine. Hard to imagine for me, one or 2 would be difficult enough let alone 8 or 14 or whatever.

Another thing that pisses me off is that if a woman is infertile, how will her religion view her?

Also it assumes every woman will find a partner to have kids with and if she doesnt she "hasnt tried hard enough" or has "left it too late".

And of course, intentionally being a single mother, or having kids with a female partner are verboten.

The list of hero pit bulls is actually a pretty long one. There's a reason they were a number one choice as working dogs until their reputation went sour. And I don't just mean as police and Army dogs. Helen Keller had herself an amazing pit bull :)

This might be the first time I've ever seen a positive news story about a pit bull. Way to go, Cain! :up:

Ironically my daughter was spending a day in the park on Saturday, many people were walking their dogs (on leashes including the Pit Bull). Anyway the Pit Bull killed another owners small white dog. My daughter said the owner's wailing was heartbreaking. My daughter was pretty shaken up by it as well... it happened so fast. To be fair the Pit Bulls owner was pretty broken up by it as well.

*shakes head* See, this is the kind of news story about pit bulls that I see all the time. Why did you have to post this?

Because it happened on Saturday, my daughter witnessed it, it wasn't in the news either. I'm not hating on pit bulls. Overall I don't think they have any worse temperaments than many other breeds, they're dogs. The reason they end up in the news more than other breeds is because when they act on their aggressive instincts there is a higher chance there will be consequences due to their powerful stature. From my daughters account the pit bull owner was clearly upset, I'm sure she thought her dog was not capable of this.

Some non pit bull dogs are often labeled as pit bulls too when they do something "bad". Many journalists can't tell a pit bull from a pig.

I agree with you on the temperment thing. I know many dogs that aren't pit bulls that would kill another dog. Dogs are individuals and should be judged as such. One of mine (not a pit bull) can never go to a dog park because of her views on small dogs, though I have taught her to behave herself on a leash. My friend's small dog was nearly killed by a Golden Retriever. Too many people have powerful dogs and have no idea what a dog is capable of. They make the mistake of thinking a dog thinks like a human and they have no clue how to read dog body language. Learn how to do that and many such incidents could be avoided. And I could go on and on but I'll spare everyone.

Sorry your daughter had to see that. :(

Wow, rescued after missing for 10 years.
Three women who went missing a decade ago were found alive Monday in a home in Cleveland, Ohio, according to police.

Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michele Knight appeared to be in good health and were talking after being discovered in a home on the city's west side, Cleveland Police Chief Michael McGarth said in a statement.

Neighbor Charles Ramsey heard screams from the house rushed to the dwelling where he found a woman who told him she was trapped inside, he told NBC Cleveland affiliate WKYC. She told Ramsey her name is Amanda Berry and "I've been kidnapped, and I've been in this house a long time, and I want to leave right now."...

People just don't look into things. Hell, Garrido did it and got away with it for nearly 20.

True! I read the book written by the Jacee. It was very difficult to read as she described all the awful things
that he did to her. I really feel sorry for her and her two daughters. She is a very strong woman to have survived 18 years in captivity.

Apparently in today's case, neighbours had seen naked woman many times in the garden and house !
