The Magpie Bjournal

Lounging.

Defying gravity.

Looking alien.

Rush, doing their first American T.V. gig in 33 years.

Hoodwinked by their supposed piety, the justice system has generally permitted the Amish to live outside of the rule of law. The group’s ethic of forgive and forget allows for a plague of horrors. This “forgivingness” permits many families to exist beyond consequence as they continue to rape and torture their children.

The Gentle Folk handle (family rape victim) Anna’s call to Child and Youth Services:

“When Fannie found out about the CYS visit, she and Anna went with 13 other kids to the home of John Yoder, an Amish dentist who lived an hour and a half away in the town of Punxsutawney. Yoder’s living room had a recliner with a tin pan and some needles next to it. Anna watched as the other kids each had one or two bad teeth pulled. When it was her turn, Yoder shot some novocaine into her upper gum. She shook her head and told him that two of her lower teeth had cavities. He shot the lower gum, and asked Fannie which teeth should go. Anna’s mother answered, “Take them all,” and Yoder pulled—along the upper gum, along the lower gum, until every tooth was gone. “After he had pulled the last tooth,” Anna remembered, “my mom looked at me and said, ‘I guess you won’t be talking anymore.’ “…Neither Anna’s parents nor John Yoder were ever charged with abuse.”

Gentle Folk indeed.

Bush administration redefining contraception as “abortion”?

I don’t want a pickle…

If this does not convert you to Christianity, then you are crazy.

This was one of the finest band line-ups ever to grace the stage.

The bishop organizing World Youth Day thinks that anyone complaining about being repeatedly raped under the auspices of the Catholic Church is just being “cranky”.

Yes, why dwell on the systematic abuse, rape and torture of children? It’s supposed to be World Youth Day, for heaven’s sake! It’s not like these rapist priests used/use birth control, now that would be a sin of such a heinous and egregious nature that The Church would have no choice but to take take swift and immediate action.

As It stands, Vatican approved torture, rape and abuse of children within the Catholic Church is just standard practice. Any victims (or relatives of victims who killed themselves because they could not live with themselves after the evils done to them by the Catholic Church) are just being “cranky” when they mention that a man of god repeatedly anally raped them (or their loved-ones) when they were eight years old.

Don’t these “victims” realize the damage they are doing? If the Catholic Church ever listened to these “victims” and forbade Priests from raping children, those Priests might go on to commit actual sins.

I now realize that I have been totally remiss in whinging and whining about how horrible my life is. Upon reviewing a few months of postings, I seem to have totally forgotten to complain publicly about my personal problems, aches, pains, depressions, tragedies, T.V. shows, and the weather’s total and complete lack of response to my emphatic commands. I have forgotten what this whole internet thing is for; I had lost sight of its purpose.

It’s about complaining; complaining about men, complaining about women, complaining about love, complaining about your job, your failures, your accomplishments, your body, your personal pain that no one will ever understand because you are the only one who has ever felt it.

The internet aught not be about information, humor, art or irony. It is about people sitting in their ergonomic chairs, crying over their ergonomic keyboards, using $2500.00 computers and high-speed internet connection to say how very awful their lives are.

What puzzles me though, is how a vast (read 100%) majority of folks who take full advantage of the internet’s infinite capacity as a place to complain have lives that are quite a lot better than my own.

I apologize if this complaint isn’t whiny enough, if I haven’t bitched and complained at a sufficiently advanced level; I’m new at this. I am trying – but it is so very hard. You should probably feel sorry for me.

Run for the hills, McDonald’s has given “the full weight of their corporation to promoting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage.”

You know, before McDonald’s, Americans didn’t eat that many hamburgers – Since then, McDonald’s has sold somewhere near 12 billion of them…

It now seems that they are doing the same thing with “gay”. Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying.

Best quote from their comments section:

“This makes me sick! McDonals’s has chosen to accommodate a small group of people who live by what is right in THEIR eyes, and they expect all of society to accept their definition of morality and tolerance.”

That just plumb broke the needle off of the irony-metre.
