It really irritates the crap out of me.  Husbands beating their wives, people burning and abusing children, homeless people brutally beaten or killed...it really pisses me off.  I wish I could be there when it happens to protect these people.

Humans evolved from animals and most of them haven't really come very far.  The rest of us must do what we can to make the world a better place despite their presence.

it's disgusting to know how evil the human mind can be.... I remember a video about the survivors ... and how so many bodies just disintegrated on the spot.... I hope that never happens again.... 2 or 3 more bombs like that can wipe out many nations.... how awful

i think it really bothers Jesus,  to be constantly reminded   of one of the most horrible moments in his life.every year we celebrate his death, like a bunch of sick-o ghouls,, and worship his suffering--makes me sick to my stomach.\n\nhe not on the cross any more , and we  as a culture should stop torturing him.\n\nwe should love him as a fellow human being.\n\nand see him happy, healthy, and alive, living his own life--out there some were.

Sounds like you need to get some therapy !  Battered wife syndrome at the very least.  Did you like the abuse? Answering that question honestly to yorself will tell you to be or not to be friends with him.  DON'T MAKE EXCUSES FOR HIS ABUSE.

I don't know how they were able to keep anyone from punching him in the face.  If i were his new wife i would run as far away as i could!  That poor little girl, how is her mother and grandmother living with the fact that they unknowingly put her in harms way.  I think if i was her mother i probably would have passed out.

I wish they would play that horrible scene on TV every day and interview the survivors. Have them keep telling their story. I have not and WILL NOT ever forget (or forgive). People just have a tendency to move on and let go because it doesn't hurt so bad that way. I support our troops 100%. Our town has lost three young men. It is so sad that these young men had to give the ultimate sacrifice, but you know, they did so proudly. And, their families are extremely proud too. We all need to remember that unless we continue to fight for freedom, it can be lost.

I feel the say way.  I do not hate them.  I just don't think anybody who disrespects others and commits a crime should get away with anything.  They should be punished, not rewarded.  And yea, they should go back and wait in line and file the proper paperworks.

It is sad how people will use anything they can to put down another group that they don't understand. If Muslims were the only ones that beat  their women my life would have been so much better but they are not. it takes a weak man to hit a woman and they are in every country following every religion on this earth . By the way I was brought up in a Christian home and saw a lot of violence. \nOne Planet = One People

Some people use it like I used to. It puts the shock of life back into You. Sounds weird but no other way of putting it. Sadness and anger I vented on  fighting and loving the feeling of hurting another. Getting hurt only enraged me more scarring my loved ones away. The night my wife said she was to leave with my infant daughter, I broke down and cried for the first in nearly 15 years. It felt like a baptism. The water and blood that comes from inside you will change You always. It isn't crazy nor a ploy to  get attention . Everybody changes or is humbled at different times in life. That's how we are unique.

have watched so many friends make so many bad choices about the men in their lives.\n\nBut that's not really my business. Except for in cases of abuse, I've known to keep my mouth shut. Physical abuse is obvious, and demands to be addressed. I don't think anyone can claim to love a person, and then politely pretend to not notice black eyes.\n\nBut the topic is never as easy to raise at it ought to be. To watch her in physical pain hurt me deeply, but for her to respond to my concern with anger nearly killed me. My heart broke when this rational, intelligent woman looked me in the eye and actually uttered that sick joke of a cliché -- "But I love him."\n\nThere are a hundred ways to argue with that statement. None of them will work. For all of the women determined to stay in violent relationships, there is at least one person who has tried everything to get her out.\n\nI think why they stay is apparent. The abuse never starts out as physical. He doesn't break her jaw on the first date. If he did, he'd be a straight out psychopath, and not your everyday neighbor/wife-beater. \n\nMen, I understand and appreciate that the vast majority of you do not beat up women. But, the bottom-line is there are far too many of you fuckers who do. Perhaps it is unfair, but I am also left to wonder how many potential wife-beaters are out there, just waiting for a woman to stick around long enough. \n\nBy the time a man full-on hits a woman, he is comfortable that she's not going anywhere. He's confident because he has already put her through a courtship full of gradually increasing psychological torture. As any good misogynist knows, a broken woman is not born, she is cultivated.\n\nCareful observation can often identify an abusive man within 10 minutes of talking to him. Sometimes, it takes longer. But, by Date #3, I guarantee he has thrown out at least one neon-sign of a clue that he will someday drag her by her hair. \n\nSome women will dismiss the warning signs as being insignificant. Or, worse, an infatuated women could see the character defects as endearing. She may find his jealousy to be charming, or determine that his rudeness to the waiter is manly, in a take-no-shit kind of way.\n\nThe goal of a batterer is to convince this woman that she cannot live without him. He accomplishes this by stifling anything about her that is her own. With an abusive man, what begins as a jealousy will inevitably turn into raging paranoia. At first, she may find it sweet that he really wants her to be with him, and not join her friends after work. Soon, her friends will stop asking, knowing she "can't" go. She'll be grateful, because the lack of an invitation is easier than making up excuses. Eventually he will cut her off completely from her friends and family, leaving her with no support outside of him. She will be utterly dependent on him, which, of course, was his entire plan.\n\nShe will love him, and she will need him, because he will be all that she has.\n\nBy the time the actual physical abuse occurs, it's too late. The physical violence is simply the culmination of a long and carefully planned ego-trip. Proof, in a maniacal frenzy, that he can do whatever the hell he wants.\n\nIt is far too late for her friends and family to help her. Where were they when she said (again) that she couldn't attend the [fill-in-the-blank]? Why didn't they speak up when he openly insulted her at the last function they did make it to?\n\nThey were where I have been: biting their tongues, knowing it's not their business, and waiting for something bad enough to happen that could justify butting in.\n\nThey will wait for a bruise, and she will say "but I love him." Their hands will be tied, and their hearts will break.

I agree with you completely.I never had to go through custody hearings myself,as my ex just dropped off the face of the earth.But,I went through this process with my best friend.It went on for years.Her husband was a wife and child abuser with numerous police reports files on him.He always said he would kill them all if they left.Finally,after he raised a shovel to hit one of his children with it and my friend stepped in instead,she finally had the good sense to leave this man.It was always used against her in court that she took her children and ran and he didn't know where they were for about a week.HE ended up getting custody of both of these children after years and years of fighting.Very sad,both of these children are now on medication for mental problems.I just couldn't believe just where these judges heads were.I think he was given priority because he was in the military,but these children's lives were ruined by the stupid decision of all of these judges,and over the years there were more than one.Why a judge would give custody of two little girls to a known abuser is beyond me.They should be held accountable for their decisions,especially when the outcome should be obvious to any normal person.

I think alot more people than you realize have felt this way. I have suffered form depression also and I have felt that way from time to time. Read my life story (check my questions about this). I have been in an abusive marriage for 12 years and I have not killed myself even though I have thought about it before. I won't do it either because I know that when i put my mind and spirit to it , i can be happy and accomplish anything that I want in life. I look at all the people that I would hurt and leave behind. Not only my wonderful little children but my family and friends who love me. Do you believe in God? have you tapped into your spiritual side? That is what helps me everyday. My brother killed himself 2 years ago and caused so much pain and suffering for every one of us. please don't do it. Continue with your therapist as I will and you can email me whenever you like. Please don't do it. love you, V.

Yes,  its disturbing to me, but not for the same reasons. I feel sadness for everyone involved. The murderer, the murdered, and the families and friends of all of them. This is a tragedy for everyone involved. I am also concerned about you. If you have thoughts like this, and are aware that they are dangerous, please get help, now, before you do something impulsive that will destroy many lives. I don't want you to be part of another tragedy. Do you know where to get help? If you want more information please feel free to e-mail me, and I can give you resources if you are in the US. Don't wait. You are miserable now, living in fear of what you might do. Don't  let it get any worse. I'll be thinking of you. Take care.

Yes i agree. So what if he forgives them. If they are not prosecuted they will do it to someone else. He has no right to allow that to happen to someone else. Perhaps he would feel different if he knew it would be his wife or children that would go through it if he does not testify. In my book it makes him as bad as them.

I know what you feel like.\n\nA friend of mine owns a restaurant, and has an Albanian chef.\n\nOne minute he his nice, and in the blink of an eye he is throwing plates and shouting.\n\nJust this week he slapped my girlfriend. Unfortunately, the police are now involved so I can't get my own revenge... it sucks.

GAY AS HELL and nasty.  Hope their d*cks shrivel and fall off.  Feel sorry for the women and kids involved though.

It is very scary. I have four children. My 2 daughters are teens and it's extremely difficult to try to teach them morals when they are bombarded with negative images and attitudes almost every where they go. I often wonder the same thing you do...what does our future hold? We have to, as a society, start taking this seriously and make some serious changes. A lot of people have become apathetic, not realizing how damaging this all is. Keep speaking up and hopefully, we'll eventually be heard above all the chaos and craziness.
