Not a topical day.

Random musings:

People are allowed to have differing opinions. It doesn't make either one of those people uneducated, ignorant or just plain stupid. As a citizen of this great land, I am "allowed" to like or dislike as I see fit, and it doesn't make me LESS of a citizen than you are.

Speaking in a progressively louder voice will not make me "come around" to your way of thinking. Neither will verbally "running over" me in conversation. It will actually just probably piss me off. AND not want to talk to you anymore.

Once again, I must insist that education does NOT equal intelligence. Just because you're university degreed and I'm not, doesn't mean you're smarter than me or your opinion means more than mine does.

I do not let my children harass, annoy or inconvenience other people. They are firmly in my control at all times, unless I am paying someone else to watch them. Then, they are firmly in the control of the person that I am paying. They are still not harassing or annoying anyone else. I will remove them from the situation if the occasion warrants. Therefore, if you don't HAVE children and don't ever WANT to have children, and I haven't ASKED you for your advice, you have no damn right to tell me how to raise mine. Mind. Your. Own. Damn. Business.

I'd also like to ask the question - WTF??!! How does a man keep his daughter locked in the basement for 24 years, have SEVEN children with her, and keep his wife out of it?? Sick-ass pervert. And for some reason, it's ok in Austria to release the names of victims and children to the general public. Almost makes me glad to be a sexually repressed American.
