Wrong target
Mar. 6th, 2009 12:08 pmThis pisses me right off. This goes right up there on the list of "what the hell were you thinking when you made THAT rule", along with making it illegal to leave your keys in your car, lest it be stolen. Because obviously, it's not the fault of the car thief, they were totally innocent and your dangling keys FORCED them to jack your damn rig.

Seems obvious to me that the people posting child-prostitution ads are the ones in the wrong here, not the website. What's next? Shall we ban phones because people call their drug dealers? BAH!

and this one:
A 9 year old who was raped by her stepfather and impregnated got an abortion.
Abortion is only permitted in Brazil in cases of rape and where the mother's life is at risk and doctors say the girl's case met both these conditions.... The Catholic Church tried to intervene to prevent the abortion going ahead but the procedure was carried out on Wednesday. Now a Church spokesman says all those involved, including the child's mother and the doctors, are to be excommunicated.So, rather than excommunicate the rapist, pedophile, sick bastard step-father, we'll ex-communicate the mother and doctors who're trying to salvage the girl's life? WRONG FUCKING TARGET! How very kind of them to spare the child's soul excommunication due to her age. Maybe they could get a brain and decided it's good to spare the kid's body a pregnancy and childbirth (of twins, no less!) due to her age too? And Christians wonder why so many people look askance at them.
