I understand, and believe that most of us are conflicted about these types of things to some degree.

I am for sure.

We are all victims of a rapidly decaying system that needs to be replaced, but at the same time is, by its nature, resistant to significant, positive, constructive change. Violent, deluded reactionary extremists arise out of the inequities and injustice of the system, and commit acts of frustrated mindless violence that only bolster the power of the system's gatekeepers to curtail our civil liberties.

I'd love to change the world, but the status quo prevents like minded people from assembling and implementing constructive changes.

Maybe someday, enough of us will get together in solidarity, and we can bring about the changes necessary that will make acts of mindless violent terrorism and the consequent reactionary losses of civil liberties a thing of the past.

I would not have a problem with the pse if it had not come about

in conjunction with numerous other reductions of our legal rights within a a relatively short time frame.

From the passage of the Patriot Act (that place where the sun never sets) until now, there have been so many both big and little reductions in our legal rights that I fear that the sum of all these new laws may be designed for and used in the future by RW authoritarians intent on establishing a strict plutarchal and/or theocratic dictatorship.

But the eternal, infallible truth ~ it is what it is ~ is our current lot here in this tragically broken system where the sun no longer sets.

So if some deluded arrogant loser deliberately blows up a bunch of innocent people, and hasn't even taken the time to become familiar with her/his rights before going out and ecstatically killing 9 yr. olds with the bombs that he made, and goes bye-bye,...well...ya know...that'll be one more deadly dumbass wacked out conservative steaming POS who won't ever get another shot at blowing the legs off of my beautiful little granbaby angels.

My aim is, to the best of my ability, to help make this fucked up world a whole lot better for my grandkids before I die. I failed my kids; but they know I really tried. And the deluded pieces of shit who deliberately hurt masses of innocent people are the reasons for the excuses that lead to the limitations of our rights and my granbabies rights, and they obstruct me from changing the world for the better, so...well...ya know what?...

Fuck all of them, whatever they are, wherever they are, and wherever they come from, and fuck the bloodthirsty invisible vampire creature they created and worship, that thing that instructs them to hate and kill, and that they keep alive only their heads, in their heinous actions, and in the hate that is eating their
hearts.

I have some really great news for all of them.

That thing definitely ain't God.

Now maybe you tell me where I find moose and squirrel.

They may have been speaking South Bostonese, which is not readily decipherable

to anyone but certain native peoples indigenous to South Boston.

The use of a rare form of sign language is also commonly practiced among certain groups present among the native peoples indigenous to South Boston.

A good friend of mine is a native of South Boston, and he frequently slips between the English and South Bostonese languages. For some unknown reason, this most often occurs when we are trading beers and shots of tequila in the local cantina.

Sometimes, when no matter how hard I try, I cannot understand what he is saying, I ask his wife, also a dear friend, who understands South Bostonese fairly well, what he is trying to say. Her normal reply to this question is "How the fuck should I know?". Whereupon my friend from South Boston raises his right hand with a South Boston sign language gesture, and the cantinero, a kindly and much loved Mexican man who speaks no English, but who understands a bit of South Bostonese sign language, smiles, and brings us another round.

To all the folks in Boston.

Cheehs!

If they never find who did this, the fear mongerers who have

already profiled Muslims/Arabs as the suspects or probable suspects have caused significant harm to the Islamic population in the US.

Ignorant conservatives will have one more manufactured illusion justifying their irrational fear of, and hatred for, Muslims/Arabs, and this will make it easier for the status quo to continue their policy of eternal war for profit in the Middle East.

Yes, I believe you may be missing something very important. I feel I can help you out here.

In the Christian Bible, Matthew 22::34-40, Jesus ben Joseph, commonly known as Jesus Christ, allegedly states what is commonly known among persons familiar with the subject as The Greatest Commandment:

34Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’c 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’d 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”


Anonymous, understanding the true essence of genuine Christian doctrine, and recognizing the hypocrisy of the anti-LGBT/anti-human/race elitist doctrine of hatred espoused by the misanthropic, christianist Westboro Baptist Church, has hacked into the Westboro Baptist Church site and posted a cynical, ironic graphic there, in order to point out to the Westboro Baptist Church leaders and followers the blatant hypocrisy of their pretending to espouse the Doctrine of Love, while spreading only raw hatred and bigotry every moment of their existence.

The graphic contains these statements: The top statement, Jesus Loves Everybody, means that Jesus Christ as a living divine entity, loves everybody.

The bottom statement, You Should Have Expected Us, refers to an Anonymous credo:

We are Anonymous. We are Legion. Expect Us.

Anonymous is telling the Westboro Baptist Church that they are lying sack of shit whitewashed wall phony pseudo christian hypocritical bigots, and that they should have expected Anonymous to attack them for continuing to spread hatred and bigotry.

Also, by using the images of some of the diverse characters from the Star Trek: The Next Generation Cast, Anonymous was making a statement about diversity, how we humans can be different, yet still love each other despite these differences, and go forward to work together to create a better world for all of us, leaving the ways of hatred and bigotry behind us as we evolve our own future.

That's the best I can do for now. It was not really meant as a joke. It's actually instructional, and as serious as it gets.

I hope this explanation is clear to you, and helps you to understand the nature of the graphic, and gives you something pleasant to ponder.

Have a lovely day!!!

Best I can do is a beautiful view property southeast of Manhattan Beach.

Does that work for you?

Contact my attorneys at Goyers, Lunz, and Munny, LLC, in Manhattan, ask to speak with Danny Leo, and we'll see if we can swing a deal.

BTW, it may interest you to know that I am a self made woman ~ I started out with nothing, and made a fortune selling it. My only regret is that I did not go into politics.

In a nutshell, Femen does not want religions, and religon controlled states or persons,

imposing unreasonable and illogical moral, ethical, social, and legal inequities and restrictions that are based in superstition imposed upon women. I personally agree with this position.

"Fuck your morals" particularly when scrawled across a woman's naked torso in response to theocratic fascists who use religion as a moral basis for/means of legally and socially controlling and oppressing women, is a message meaning "We don't want your arbitrary morality based in patriarchal superstitions imposed upon us and used as a means for subjugating, controlling, demeaning, and denigrating women anymore."

Morality
/məˈralətē/
Noun
Principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior. Behavior as it is affected by the observation of these principles.

Fuck
interjection
5.
Slang. (used to express anger, disgust, peremptory rejection, etc., often followed by a pronoun, as you or it.)

Fuck Your Morality = We Reject Your Morality.

The all pervasive objectification and sexualization of girls/women is primary to creating

this culture where far too many boys are insidiously influenced to deny/ignore the humanity of girls/women and treat them as "things", mere objects of scorn that exist solely for their personal physical gratification.

This horrible, heartbreaking incident is a clear illustration of the tragic effects of the rampant sexualization/objectification of girls/women, and the rape culture it fosters and perpetuates.

Sex sells, it's a major source of profit for global corporate business, and greedy corporate sociopaths will continue to market girls/women as sex objects for as long as it remains profitable, and the ignorant will continue to buy it, no matter what the resulting cost and consequence in human degradation, suffering, and tragedy.

Poor Rehtaeh. She was not only viciously raped and abused by four young boys, she was subsequently slowly tortured and murdered by this culture for the "crime" of being born female.

Damn skippy, I'm as serious as a heart attack.

If some women wish to be abused, oppressed, and be degraded to animal status, that's totally their right. It doesn't mean that abuse hasn't crushed them into whimpering acceptance of their enforced submission. But there are a whole lot of women in the Muslim world who would like to be treated like human beings, and they are terrified to speak out; they have no voice because they are not allowed one.

Naturally, some women are comfortable having animal/slave status because they've been brainwashed into believing that it is the will of Allah that they were created inferior to men.


Islamic patriarchy is a captor/hostage system, and men are the captors, and women are the hostages. If women were free to make their own decisons, and act, and come and go as they please, then you would have a reasonable argument. As it stands, I stand by my contention that a large number of women in the Muslim world are hostage, held captive by religion based political and cultural systems that victimize them and cause them to suffer from a form of Stockholm Syndrome.

If all you are allowed to know and experience, solely due to your gender, is oppression and abuse, you will be inclined to believe that is all you deserve and are entitled to.

I encourage you to learn about widespread homophobic and misogynistic oppression of LGBT and women in Muslim countries..
