Had it not been for comparing notes on these despicable creeps over the period of a few decades here at DU, I don't think I'd know how low human beings can stoop. I'd have a good idea, but not to the extent that I see it now.

We see this type of unconscionable behavior time after time after time.

Of course the internet and TV brings the picture together, too.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't feel gratitude for the good parents I had. Imagine living the rest of your life with this kind of father. I really don't think a normal life is in the picture for this individual.
