A Whole new set of fanatics...good grief

.

Well, Thanks to dear John Legend, the public breastfeeding debate is back on a front burner.

These women are eerily like the (mostly) men of the gun ownership lobby...a bit crazed. First, before I go on, yes ladies, breastfeeding IS a natural occurance, no doubt. That is not even the issue, alright. The issue, my sisters, is should you be doing it in public spaces? Personally, I don't go out much, so I barely have a dog in this debate, BUT if I did, would I want to see it at, say, the food court? Honestly, not really. Look, I love babies, they smell good, they are beyond cute snd there is nothing quite like cuddling one, BUT that being said, I'm not even crazy about watching them being spoon fed. Food in/food right back out, in, out. Not something I want to see when I'm eating. When a baby is nursing, it can get loud, there is the breast switching, etc. Now a lot of people say "oh, gross", etc, but I don't think that is the issue, grossness. I think at it's core, this is a VERY intimate activity and personally, I get uncomfortable the same way I would if a couple starts making out in a public space, right in front of me. Both totally natural things, but seriously, too intimate to share. And to be REALLY honest, I think in both cases, the perpetrators are sort of bragging about their good fortune. How much it saddens childless women like me to see, really. It is NOT a shameful activity, it is just a bit too overt, that's all. If you have a party at your house, and in the middle of it, you want to stay with you buds while feeding, by all means, go for it, your friends probably are fine with it. But not knowing the "temperature" of a public space, it's sort of a selfish thing to do, not shameful...just a bit thoughtless of others.

Warning: Religious persecution ahead

What the absolute f***!!!

I have been reading about Catholic priests being molesters and pedophiles for decades, and now the final straw. As suspected, these supposed shepherds of souls have also been raping nuns. AND now, it seems we know where all the caught priests were shipped. It would seem that a bunch went to Pennsyvania. AND, when interviewed, the reptile that assigned all these creatures showed absolutely NO remorse. In fact, through the whole interview, his body language, (including condescending head tilt, eye rolls and smug smile) said "oh my dear, what is the big deal" to me. And when asked if he felt the least responsible for having brought most of those creatures there, he basically said no.

Listen, celibacy is NOT a natural state, or even healthy. If you are going to demand this of your employees, finish the thing and castrate them. THAT should separate the chaff from the wheat. I would suggest chemical castration, but there is no guarantee they would be treated with any regularity. And is it any surprise how perfect their system of cover-up is? Priests are supposed to "purge" regularly through confession, and confessions are sealed, so even if they do tell what they're doing, the hearing priests hands are tied. How very convenient. And the poor nuns. Where were they to turn? This brotherhood of pedophiles and rapists MUST be brought down. Call it the "#wetoo" movement, because there will be whole groups for every one of these monsters.

Religion has been called the opiate of the masses, and the drug involved is where the abusers tell their victims either that God was okay with it, or that God would punish them if they told anyone. And When will the followers of this sect finally lay the responsibility of this where it belongs, at the feet of their leader?

These are men, fatally flawed men that have no business guiding anyone, anywhere. The cover-up needs cleansing light. I know that religion is a comfort to many, but really, how comfortable can you truly be, knowing this is going on, and you know it, but let it continue?

Just sadly sayin'
