Moms Demand Action on Gun Violence march for reform
On the eve of Mother’s Day, actresses Julianne Moore and Melissa Joan Hart joined hundreds of other activists in marching across New York City’s Brooklyn Bridge to demand an end to gun violence in the country. “I fervently believe this is not a partisan issue. This is not an anti-gun or pro-gun argument. This is not…

USA. Where we care more about who is in a bathroom stall than who buys a gun.

that is quite silly to compare the two things. We can have gun control AND care that victims of sex abuse might very well be frightened to see men in their bathrooms.
It just seems to me that a lot of men are forgetting that women don’t use urinals and pee in front of everybody. Most females don’t like showering in front of other women. And stalls have gaps. And maybe younger women don’t feel the same about it as older ones do. But I am a former victim of sexual abuse and so are some of my friends. One in particular was brutally raped by a co-worker, beaten and left for dead. She couldn’t go back to work just short of the time when she would have gotten a pension, and lost everything and now lives on disability. It took years before she could leave her home on her own and her having to use public facilities and find a man in the restroom would set her back. I don’t know why anybody can tell her to just stuff her feelings, that they don’t matter, and then mock what her experience has been, but that is what some liberals have done on other threads.
Personally I do not fear transgender people and fully understand how they can feel having to use the restroom that is wrong for them. I just don’t see how it is my duty to pretend I am less important than they are. And I don’t see why in America, both sides show such a disrespect for women and children, each in their own way. It would seem to me that we have a wide range of people and that if we decided to try to solve this issue we could find a better solution. We should at least try to do so.
Again, I am not fearful of transgender people. I hope people can read these words and understand that.

I feel for your friend, but I have to say;
8 BILLION people in this world, and she based her future on one of them?
People, in the words of Gene Hackman,are “no damned good”, but to live in fear of what might happen is not to live at all…guess I’m wired differently, because I’ll be goddammed if some random abberant will make me change my ways.
(Full disclosure: I do not possess a vagina, although I’m a big fan)

smiles.
I hope you are never brutally raped, lose your job, your pension, your health care, get stuck with thousand in medical bills when your insurance coverage stopped, and never have to live with PTSD but thousands of people do. And every month when the disability pay runs out before the bills do, it is a reminder. And every time she has pain from the beating that left permanent damage to her body it all comes back. She can’t for get it. She worked all those years planning on having that pension and the benefits promised her, but the rape happened off the company property and legally they didn’t have to pay her. She had only a few short months before she would have had it. Unless you live though something like this, you can’t know how any of us feel. And each victim may feel differently from each other. Our experiences are somewhat different as well as who we were when it happened.
Glad you are a fan though, smiles

I hope that most of those things never happen to me, as well (too late for at least one), or anyone for that matter..
But the best trait of humanity (IMO) is that it struggles on; it overcomes those things that would try to cripple it. It’s why we’re here, instead of being caged in food pens for our Sabre-toothed Overlords.
Not to disparage your friend, as you are correct in saying that I don’t know what she went through, but:
A) She has friends like you willing to be there for her…no small thing.
B) Even if she didn’t, she’s a member of the dominant species on the planet…she’s from good stock, and even without any help, she probably would have made it. Maybe not with as many smiles, but there you go.

if you are molested as a child or raped as a woman, it changes forever who you are. In most cases people who have been molested try to block it out and it isn’t until they are in their 40’s that it all comes back.
Women who have been molested are more often overweight, more likely to have C-sections, become drop outs, might be involved in drugs or alcohol abuse, and a lot of other things and mistake sex for love and become involved in many failed relationships.
This is an area where you seem to have no firsthand knowledge. And no professional training. I encourage you to do some research before you speak about it anymore, especially if you have females in your family who someday may need to turn to you for help and comfort.
I do not feel that you are trying to be offensive, but you just can’t know what it is like unless you have experienced it, and then you will never know what me or my friend, or thousands of others have gone through. Without meaning to, it is coming across as being insensitive.
The saying, “walk a mile in their shoes” has meaning here.
And I hope that none of your family ever go through what my friend did. I would rather you learn from research and not firsthand experience. But I would rather you admit since you don’t, that maybe you aren’t the best person for deciding this issue.

Featured…because you’re always on point.

anyone knows you need to elect a bush admin supporter if you want stricter gun laws
clemans May 11th, 2016 at 10:35
does a president prosecute gun crimes? Is that power in the Constitution?
robert May 11th, 2016 at 10:58
We are talking about a past president that didn’t need ” probable cause ” in order to punish,so the answer is YES
clemans May 11th, 2016 at 11:10
I don’t see how that can be, he was too busy selling out our rights with the Patriot Act and coming up with multiple reasons for invading a nation that didn’t cause harm to the US while forgetting all about getting Bin Laden.
I just don’t see a president contacting every prosecutor in America and telling them not to or to file gun charges.
The only thing I can say good about bush is that he is gone and his brother got nowhere.
Hirightnow May 11th, 2016 at 11:59
“… his brother got nowhere”
Tell that to Michael Schiavo.
clemans May 11th, 2016 at 12:30
I was referring to when he ran for president. The news kept going on about how much support and how well respect the bush family was in one state……they paraded the family out, and still lost.
Hirightnow May 11th, 2016 at 13:58
:…they paraded the family out, and still lost.”…
they paraded the family, and lost because of that

maybe, but as I remember it, he wasn’t doing so good on his own…..granted, I tried to not pay any attention to him so you might be better informed than I am on this one.
