i am sure many of you have seen this on the news already , i cannot believe
this. how many times have you heard about violence being attributed to
music , entertainment, etc, i have seen cases where talk shows are
discussing people who claim that listening to megadeath made them go out
and kill. needless to say, those people went to jail and were not
acquitted. i may be going off on a tangent here, i am sorry. i am
interested in knowing what all of you think of this case.(sorry about the
category in which this is posted)

Man, I hate it when people claim that a higher power makes them kill
people. Surely if God or whoever wanted her to kill her kids, he'd give
her a less time-consuming way to do it.
I still think she should have been given a harsher punishment. I hate the
fact that our system of justice goes so easy on people who brutally murder
young children. It's highly unlikely kids that age would be able to defend
themselves from anybody, much less the motehr they trusted.
Oh, and, while we're on the subject, homeschooling is a *wonderful* way to
cover up child abuse. No pesky teachers or authorities asking why little
Jimmy has a spatula-shaped second-degree burn on his back. (I only bring
this up because my sister turned in a woman for beating her three kids, one
of whom has Downs' Syndrome, after the daughter came to her and showed my
sister her bruises, and one of the 7 year-old boys threatened to kill
himself if he had to go back to his mother. The DFS promptly took the
kids' testimony and promptly returned them to their paretns, who suddenly
decided that homeschooling would prevent those nosy neighbors, kids, and
authorities from noticing what was going on. If I offeneded those who
homeschool here, I'm sorry...but that sort of thing happens a lot her in
MO, and no one does a fucking thing about it to help keep the kids
safe.)

So what's new? Nobody conqers in the name of Satan. Nobody commits
genocide in the Devil's name. This is the behavior of massive organized
religions with major political agendas and few places on Earth is this
still a phenominon as much as the United States.
The US was conquered and settled by puritans and the degree of puritan
influence has waxed and waned throughout it's history but never has it
disappearewd.
What does Janet Jackson's bosom have to do with anybody? Not a damn thing!
The only people who give a good fuck about it either have some kind of
agenda or are hopelessly brainwashed. ____________________

That raises some pretty interesting questions... I mean, what if, instead
of Puritans, this country was founded on a whole bunch of
Cthulu-worshipers?
