Get it off your chest!

How can a person belief in Heaven after such a treatment of his daughters? What kind of believer is he? Where is religion then which instructs him not to hurt others???

Feminists do have a point!

There are cultures that value having sons over daughters, and it is wrong. But such attitudes are often very deeply ingrained in a person, and are very much a part of them. That doesn't excuse it, but maybe it helps to understand it.

All other points aside, children are a beautiful gift and should be cherished regardless if boys or girls. I feel sorry for the person you are referring to Pensy. He is missing out on a joy in life...the joy of having children and family. I hope his daughters grow up and find peace within themselves and know they are worthy people. That is a sad story.

Though I am quite sure he loves his daughters as well, but at such times it seems as if he represses this love...

I hope so too! His daughters, the friends I love, would have a even more joyful life. They even try to look contented now, but I hope it would be better.

That is what I meant...I didn't mean to imply he didn't love them. It is wonderful your friends have you in their life...a good friend is even more important when someone has an unhappy home life.

As for myself, I am in a horrible mood!

I am VERY MAD because they have a flimsy fence constructed around the duck pond at our city park. And, today, whilst bike riding around in said park, these little bratty kids had hopped over the fence and were wading in the water, trying to scare the dickens out of a Canada Goose family (mom, dad, and EIGHT fuzzy babies). I was SOOOOOO mad that I ran over there and chased them out, claiming that I was the police.....

Of course the poor goose family was deeply ruffled ... the mom is probably still hissing up a storm...

Why can't they make fences that KEEP brats out.....!!!

no matter what, they'll always find a way to ryle up the goose and her family.

I still use an old-fashioned camera (non-digital, lol) -- but my photos turn out rather nicely, I must say. I always develop them with a copy onto a disc for the computer. So, when I get my pix back from development, I plan to post a really good one of the goose family. In the meantime, I better rent a police outfit....??

Yeah maybe you should!

Instead of making better fences; they should make better parents. THAT would keep the brats at bay!

Well said, Biblio!

I did indeed wonder where the parents were, and noting the lack, decided to be the fake cop ... I think I scared them out of their wits, but when I see helpless wildlife and brats, well, I tend to lose my normal state of peacefulness and tranquility...

Good for you, Kiz. A little "Impersonating an Officer" can be overlooked when one is standing up for those who can't stand up for themselves.

Glad there are people like you around that will DO something rather than just sitting there thinking "Tsk, tsk" like all of the others in the park today.

I was just getting ready to post the same thing. It is a shame how many people just let their children run wild. I see it a ton up here where people just let their young children 4 or 5 out to do whatever they want for hours at a time.

I feel so burdened. I have been given three project to work on, all production (not management), and I know what's my state. I don't know what my boss thinks of me, as if I am some machine, give her as many projects as possible and see when she breaks down. So far I have been able to somehow do my work, but, still.....Why can't they hire more people? I didn't feel like coming to work today, I feel listless....

Wahhh!!! i have to go home now to babysit my siblings! Goodbye, friends!
