KOMO - Seattle, WA : Anti-bullying activist accused of bullying Christian students | Local & Regional | Seattle News, Wea

Tue, 1 May 2012 05:35:07 +0000

"Unfortunately, what that group missed was some of the comments that he made just a few minutes later about his own personal faith and his family," he said So, in other words, if someone makes hurtful comments to us and we choose not to listen to them we miss out? If you turn that around, it would be like expecting someone who is gay to hear an insult and then expect them to stick around to continue listening to that person. It shouldn't be expected of anyone, gay, Christian, or anyone else to remain in listening mode to someone who is offensive. And as far as the comment, "Too often we forget how it feels to be on one end of the bullying if we've never been bullied," he said." He doesn't know if the people who walked out have ever been bullied or not. And, if you've ever read the comments on this news page and others, Christians are hated by many, many people. Just because there are loud mouthed politicians and preachers out there holding the airways doesn't mean that the day-to-day Christian is really in the majority anymore. Its not that uncommon for an average Christian to be bullied or discriminated against. I've been treated badly many times by aggressive anti-Christians. Its just not PC to stand up for a Christian. The attitude people have is that they deserve it because Christians are bigoted and hateful. Actually, most of us aren't. The bigoted and hateful ones are the ones that get microphones and platforms, but we don't really have much in common with them. Gays shouldn't have to be mocked or bullied, nor Christians, nor ANYONE.

The parents weren't protesting that they rechecked her - it was HOW they did it. They could have taken the child aside and re-checked her. Once she ran away, they could have caught her without yelling and bedlam and having a parent in the room with a pat down AND after the child had had a chance to be calmed down would have been perfectly reasonable. As it is, the child was terrified for no reason and that's a shame.

They AREN'T supposed to touch them. That's the problem. He shouldn't have even grabbed him by the hoodie. This is ridiculous.

KOMO - Seattle, WA : Whooping cough cases reach epidemic levels in Wash. | Local & Regional | Seattle News, Weather, Spor

Many of the vaccines were created using fetal cell lines from aborted fetuses. Since many people have objected, some companies have made alternate vaccines. http://cogforlife.org/vaccineinfo.htm On that website there is a pdf that lists which vaccines were made from which fetal cell lines and which or if have alternatives. You can also see it by company. I did not know this before my daughter's reaction to the DTaP, but found it out researching after the fact. Sickens me. Those who are opposed to abortion and become aware of this situation often feel an religious obligation not to use these vaccines.

You will be pressured by many, but never forget, as a parent, you have to trust your own judgement. I only wish I'd trusted my own gut before I vaccinated my daughter. The important thing is to do your research and do what you believe is right.

Really? If you watched your 18 month old swell up from a DTaP vaccine for THREE DAYS and spent time in the ER, you would just calmly continue to give her that same vaccine and give it to her sibling as well? Some of us have a very good reason not to be vaccinated against Pertussis. Watch your judgement. I watch this epidemic with severe concern, but worry that another dose of that vaccine would kill my child. Doctors encourage me to do it anyways and that makes me trust them less.

Was that in Bellingham? I went to a chiropractor after a car accident 7 years ago and he kept insisting I should get my (perfectly healthy) five month old treatments. That was both my first and my last visit.

I can't find it... maybe you can post a link to it on facebook once you get the facebook page set up? I tried to put the name in the browse section of change.org and it said it didn't match anything.

I wish I could think of a good name for the facebook page, but nothing comes to mind... When you start it, post on here so I'll find out about it and join you. I'd contact you directly but can't think of a way. LOL. Posting an email on here would be disastrous. The wolves would attack. :-) A petition on Change.com like crummycake suggested is a good idea too.

Kids do not have the mental, emotional and sexual maturity of adults. Their brains and bodies are not equipped with the skills and background to process abuse, violence, or inappropriate behaviors. They are still learning about their world and internalizing what they learn into themselves. Since they cannot adequately process the events and emotions, unless they receive a lot of help to do so, the pain and damage is much more severe and lasting than what an adult experiences. I'm not trying to minimize what an adult goes through, that is also very severe, but it is much worse in the life of a child.

To "Yeah_and", you should definitely try to pass a law for longer sentencing. Perhaps you should set up a facebook group to get people who will support you and help get signatures for you. I'd definitely help. I was also a victim of childhood sexual assault and I think we need to make sure that children and all of society is safe from people like this.

I shudder when I think of all the stupid things my friends and I did as teenagers and we weren't wild, just silly and fun loving. All it takes is a moment to get hurt tragically. I hope the boy recovers fully and soon!! *HUGS* to the mom.

All I see is that he called our president a pr*ck. It doesn't say that he threatened him or tried to harm him in any way. It's called freedom of speech. We are all allowed to think or say anything we like about anyone (as long as we don't threaten or slander them) if we choose. I don't like what he did, but it doesn't sound like he did anything actually wrong...

KOMO - Seattle, WA : 3 officers shoot armed man in Vancouver, Wash. | KOMO News | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Breaking

I don't blame the police for being a little quick to shoot when someone doesn't seem to be complying with an order to drop a weapon. Considering the events of the past year, I'd be err on the side of safety too. Very simple ppl, put the weapon down, walk away. If you are innocent then you'll get your weapon back after they check you out. Maybe its inconvenient, but they are just doing their jobs. For those who aren't innocent and won't put a weapon down, well... I have no sympathy for you.
