Isn't this Child Abuse?

Not exactly. http://www.fatherhood.org/articles/wh020601.htm The second thing that caught my eye was the identity of the perpetrators. Family friends and acquaintances composed the largest group of perpetrators (28 percent), followed by such relatives as uncles and cousins (18 percent), stepfathers (12 percent), male siblings (10 percent), biological fathers (10 percent), boyfriends (9 percent), grandfathers and stepgrandfathers (7 percent), and strangers (4 percent). Of these perpetrators, 51 percent resided exclusively outside the household during the abuse, whereas 39 percent resided exclusively within the household during the abuse and 10 percent resided in the household for a portion of the time the abuse was occurring. What is interesting about these statistics is how they contrast with the common view of who is the most likely person to perpetuate child sexual abuse. As popularized by such made-for-television movies as "Something About Amy," biological fathers are often thought to be the persons most likely to perpetrate child sexual abuse. After that, strangers are seen as presenting the greatest danger to children. Yet, according to this study, only 10 percent of perpetrators were biological fathers and only 4 percent were strangers. Which means 86 percent of the perpetrators were known to the family, but were someone other than the child's father. -- Dorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens ..

wrote: No, sugar is a food. Would rather say spice :-) Again, sugar is a food. It contains mostly simple carbs and not much else. It's high in calories and low in nutrients (macro and micro) - it's empty calorie. If it contains anything else than fructose and glucose, it must be because it has been contaminated, like floor dust etc. There is no other nutrients there than sucrose. Period. You need a long range of other compounds in your nutrition to sustain health. Of course you can keep seemingly healthy for weeks on only sugar, but after some time you will get ill and what is bad,most of the harm done to your body is not reversible at all. Those harms you must live with for the rest of your life, like damages done to your heart, bones (osteoporosis due to complete lack of calcium in diet), broken teeth (due to calcium lacking and bacteria living on the carbohydrates has done lot of harm) plus plus plus. (The descriptions of damages done to your body may fill a whole volume of books) |

Not exactly. Childred are abused _overwhelmingly_ by their own parents. Abuse and sex are not the same thing, and there are many types of abuse besides sexual abuse. Overall, parents are responsible for most of it, and mothers are responsible for more of it than fathers (probably because mothers spend more time in contact with children). -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

Don't they realize that it is poisonous and cannot sustain life? there were some tiny, flying beetles that got into the house this summer. When I opened up a bag of (white) flour that I hadn't used for a while, I discovered a bunch of them inside - all dead. I assumed they had somehow OD'ed on it. |

I knew it was good, but not that good... "If I can't dance, I don't want to join your revolution." -Emma Goldman *guarapo: cane juice, a Caribbean staple. THE GUARAPO REVOLUTION? What if instead of using something totally abstract for national identity--the flag, the anthem--or something which makes you different in a suspicious way--religion, politics--we used something real that everybody liked? Suppose that the symbol of national identity was 'food' and suppose that we spiced it up--in its erotic connotation--wouldn't the little people prefer it? Guess what, people love it! My first writing over 11 years ago was the 'Guarapo Revolution,' and--after its huge success--I modeled the Jalapeno (Mexico), Arepa (Venezuela, Colombia), Banana 'Revolutions'... While most other activists struggle to convince an overwhelmingly skeptical public, I just shout the 'Guarapo Revolution' and most people--at least those who most count: women, young people--stop in their tracks to get it. They get two leaflets: the Guarapo Revolution itself and the little stories with the solution being proposed... Best of all, they want the Party, the Guarapo Party! All we got to do is *throw the party*. That's what the little people want. At least that's my experience among the Latin American people... But I would have many more arguments for it: -Nationalistic symbols--flag, anthem--divide, food differentiates yet unites. -The leaflets are passed on, not wasted. -The names really stick. -It would secure food (not risk the famines or scarcities some revolutions--USSR, China, Cuba--are known for). -It would challenge junk food, a favorite method of globalization. -It would constitute a 'back to basics' movement. -It would distance the lion, since he only seems to know how to roar. -The little people would have something better to think other than the afterlife. -It would be something really worth living and fun, the revolution Emma Goldman would have liked to dance indeed... The surveys in English don't convey the full power of it, but if you can visualize the Brazilian Carnival, you get the idea... http://webspawner.com/users/donquijote9 |
