So, pretty much, what you do all day is sort through the news looking for shit to get mad and indignant about, right?

Do you find that you like being irate?

Do you feel that people respect you more when you are voicing a strong opinion?

Perhaps you are showcasing your moral conviction, and vigilant stance against evil, by continuously posting these disturbing news clips as a contrast to what you stand for?

I think that might be more interesting to talk about.

I dunno...maybe. Ask Wolf

Actually, this is the stuff I get in my yahoo headlines. It has nothing to do with liking to be irate, but when I see things like this, it DOES outrage me. Child abuse goes on for so long because people don't want to see it.

Besides, what better way to spark discussion than to post something like this? Some people DO happen to care what happens to kids, and some people care about the disturbing things that happen every day...and this is a discussion forum.

As always, you don't like it, don't read it. Follow Radar's example, put yer fingers in yer ears, and go, "lalalalalalalalalalalalalala".....

Somehow I have the feeling this post belongs in the abortion debate thread to reinforce certain arguments there.....

Making a kid eat crap is pretty stupid. It'll make 'em taste bad when they're cooked, and you'll need a ton of spices to compensate.

Spices are for perserving food. Once the food has degraded into crap, then it is too late for spices to be effective.
