		<description>Justice, accountability, and the prevention of further abuse matters more than a papal apology. Time will tell if the Irish government will continue to treat the Catholic church with deference.</description>

		<description>Readers may also be interested in the writings home from the front of US Sgt. Sam Avery during the Great War (World War I). Fascinating eyewitness history from the hot sands along the Rio Grande to the cold mud along the Meuse. 

This blog is an adventure long in the making for me in honor of my own family hero. Letters are posted on the same day they were written from the trenches 91 years ago. Today I found myself staring at my watch counting down the minutes to 1100 hrs. 

Long before the Greatest Generation there was the Most Gallant Generation. Stop by and come march along...

		<description>It is horrible that children are raped in that manner. One thing for sure those rebels if they rule the nation they would have to support the victims. They must be brought to book. What is the toothless AU doping to protect our children?</description>

		<title>Comment on A New Breed &#8211; The Beta Male by James A. Donald</title>

		<description>She is lying.

Women always say, and frequently believe, that they want the kind of man that rationally they should want.  But they do not.  Women are deeply irrational.  Sexual urges are often self destructive in men,  considerably frequently self destructive in gays, and fairly uniformly self destructive in women.  What women want is never what they say they want, frequently not what they think they want, and seldom what they should want.

Getting women to choose rationally, choose what is good for them, requires a fair bit of deception, manipulation, and physical coercion by the male - hence the considerable success of societies where marriages are in substantial part arranged by parents.

Getting women to sleep with a suitable male rather than an unsuitable male is harder than getting children to eat their spinach.</description>

		<description>Is there NO one else out there with any thoughts, prayers or opinions about this?!! Culturally sanctioned torture is not something you&#039;ve an opinion about? Violent mysoginey is A.O.K.with all of you? Child abuse is &quot;fine and dandy&quot;? Apparently &quot;&quot;Pircey is an Asian mysoginist who feels this is not a subject worth further comment...perhaps I&#039;m alone in standing up to tell him if he believes this is okay, then I believe he&#039;s a phsycopath of the culturally ordained variety and zI believe if he&#039;s involved or condones this practice he should be in jail for life and face eternal Damnation after. I feel not kindly about the women who subject their daughters to this but I do understand that they have probably been subjected to the same torture...they are forced to sanction and perpetuate the torture and mutilation of women. I don&#039;t care what you say, NO GOD could have condoned this. If your God tells you this is right, get a new God!</description>
