I think its a pretty effed up world we live in when a person who abused an innocent 3 year old , gets out after 3 measly years in jail .
Did anyone watch Oprah the other day ? THAT was shocking . It was about cases in 3rd world countries and how badly the women are treated, I knew they were, but I hadn't heard individual horror stories
1st one -mother of 3, has the misfortune of getting pregnant , baby dies inside her , she needs emergency C section , dr refuses unless he is paid $100, journalist that is there at the hospital pays, AND donates his blood cos she needs a transfusion .
Dr leaves for the night without performing it, journalist finds woman 3 hours later in her own faeces, vomit and urine , she got the c section the next day , but the baby had poisoned her blood stream and she died 2 days later
second woman -nearly starved to death , was raped by soldiers (that seems to be their weapon of choice against women ) and cos of this she was seen as unworthy and undesireable
She also died
3rd girl , this was horrible , kidnapped at 13 from her village, taken to brothel , she was a virgin when she was sold the first time, she was sold as a virgin FOUR times, they would sew up her vagina after each intercourse .
Women in those places aren't allowed to ask for condoms, so she got pregnant twice, second time they did an abortion at 4 months ,in excruciating pain , she asked if she could have one night off, the doctor stabbed her in the eye , blinding her and disfiguring her, no longer desirable , she was kicked out onto the street .
She was picked up by some sort of organisation (the good kind ) and given a second chance at life shes still scarred mentally and physically tho .
Oh , and the brothel was run by the chief of police .
Yeah , its a sick world we live in , both here , as far as the rights of victims ,and children etc go , and further as far as women living in places where they are seen as less than men , go .
But its also a good world, cos there are always people who want to fight for justice and what is right ....might take awhile to change the world, probably wont happen while we're alive, but at least we are on the right track , I take some comfort in that
oh , and im sorry ....banning junkfood ?? bu bu..but ...what will I eat !!!

Yeah it's totally OT but maybe deserves another thread of it's own..... (hint hint
