A Message For Children and A Warning For Adults

This is pretty cool.  An amazing innovation that could literally save a life.  Considering all the recent events over the discovery of the three women who were kidnapped as young children or teenagers, giving a little to this foundation to help abused children wouldn't hurt.

The ANAR foundation has developed an advertisement that uses a lenticular lens to display two different messages at the same time;  One for adults and one for children.  The one for children urges the child to seek help with a number to call, whereas the adult version has nothing listed.  It uses a technology where only certain heights can see certain messages.  This will give the child a chance to find help without alerting the abuser.

My Christian Thoughts - Issue #4 - The Baptist Pastor Who Encouraged Parents to Punch Their Boys

I first heard the following audio on Anderson Cooper last May, and was so angry about it I wanted to immediately share My Christian Thoughts on the matter.   Unfortunately, I was on blog break and my blogging was sporadic at best; But now that I have this new series every Sunday, I do have something to say.

"So your little son starts to act a little girlish when he is four years old and instead of squashing that like a cockroach and saying, “Man up, son, get that dress off you and get outside and dig a ditch, because that is what boys do,” you get out the camera and you start taking pictures of Johnny acting like a female and then you upload it to YouTube and everybody laughs about it and the next thing you know, this dude, this kid is acting out childhood fantasies that should have been squashed.

Can I make it any clearer? Dads, the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist. Man up. Give him a good punch. Ok? You are not going to act like that. You were made by God to be a male and you are going to be a male. And when your daughter starts acting to Butch you reign her in. And you say, “Oh, no, sweetheart. You can play sports. Play them to the glory of God. But sometimes you are going to act like a girl and walk like a girl and talk like a girl and smell like a girl and that means you are going to be beautiful. You are going to be attractive. You are going to dress yourself up.”

You say, “Can I take charge like that as a parent?”

Yeah, you can. You are authorized. I just gave you a special dispensation this morning to do that."

There's a special place in hell for Baptist Pastors like you, Mr. Sean Harris.  And if any of you reading this think and act like this, there's a special place for you too.  Oh, I'm sorry, am I being judgemental?  Am I judging you?  Since it's okay for you to do it to me, I think I have that right too, no?

But guess what, I'm not.  I'm not a hater - I'm a lover.  I love you regardless if you hate me.  I love you regardless if you rather see me in some prison camp for the gays.  I love you regardless if you "choose" to be straight.  I love you because my heart has no room for nothing else.

See the clear picture? 

It's love.  Jesus loves, God loves, and I love.  And this is who I will emulate - not you - the Christian who pretends to be of God.

Laugh of the Day: Get a New Daddy

OMG! LMAO!  Okay children, so if you're not happy with your Daddy, here's a sure way of getting yourself a brand new daddy!   I stumbled across this video several years ago, and as stupid as this may sound, it was actually quite funny.

I started ROFL when the kid took shirtless pics of himself with a Polaroid camera and placed them in his mother's dresser.   Just another sure way for mommy to get rid of his father and "Get A New Daddy"

The Woes of Being a Bad Parent - Throw Your Kid Off A Boat, That Will Shut Him Up!

Hey, the next time your kid pisses you off, just throw him off a boat! I'm sure your kid annoys the hell out of you, so that's a sure way to quiet him down.

I'm actually being serious. Meet Sloane Birles of sunny California, who thought it was a brilliant idea to throw his 7-year-old son off a boat, because he wouldn't stop crying.  Get a load of this guy, as he practically admits to doing it, and proud he did so.

Good thing there were 80+ witness at the scene.

I think they need to throw Mr. Briles off a boat in the Amazon or in shark infested waters with cuts on his body so they could smell the blood.  Oh... The Woes of Being a Bad Parent...

The Woes of Being a Bad Parent - I'll Be Right Back

So imagine being 5 years old, sitting in a stroller for some unknown reason (he must've been tiny), and as you patiently wait outside for your mother - it starts to rain.  So here you are, getting soaked, sitting in a stroller and all these strangers walk past you (it's pouring rain mind you), as they walk into the bar to get a drink. Ahhh... the woes of being a bad parent...

You see this bright woman here?   Well, that's Sarah Cheek from Daytona Beach, Florida.  Sarah went inside Crook's Den (a bar) at 10 o'clock at night to presumably go inside and buy a candy for her daughter.  This is before she said she went in to apply for a job.  But according to some of the drunks who saw her daughter outside (who didn't help the 5-yr-old child), say they saw Sarah gulp down two beers.

Now, you'd think after a few minutes she'd go outside to check on the kid.  Nope, she asked her fellow drunkards if they could go outside and keep little "sally" company as she finished her beers.

Rule of thumb...  if mom or dad say they are going inside to buy you a candy, chances are they're probably not coming back. LOL
