There are no rainbow pooping Unicorns here. Move along, please.

Hey, Sitemonkey here. I have definitely not been on the ball the last couple of weeks. I’ve had alot going on and haven’t kept up my job here. For that I am truly sorry and hope everyone can understand occasionally life does that. In the last couple of weeks I’ve traveled over 7,000 miles and shot over 6,000 images. Well, I’m slowly catching up on all the jobs that got swept under the rug. Including the many jobs I’ve got waiting for me on Askglory. These include 2 more podcasts that I didn’t get done before I left on my travels and this comment problem. Which seems to related to our theme (Argh!!). So, till I can get it fixed I’ve reverted the site to an older theme that will let everyone get their opinion across. I had thought the site seemed rather quiet. Well, everyone start commenting and if you need to let me know all the thoughts you’ve had to keep inside you since you couldn’t comment on here don’t be afraid to. I could always use some motivation.

University of New Orlean’s newspaper Driftwood

On September 7, 2006, Printz, the campus newspaper at the University of Southern Mississippi, published the first installment of an informative sex column covering topics related to modern sexuality, such as date rape, safe sex, and romance tips. “When our paper started our sex column Pillow Talk, we didn’t think anything of it,” says Adam Chance, opinion editor of Print.
However, despite the paper’s efforts to run a tasteful, educational column, dozens of the school’s alumni say the column is too graphic, and place it in the same category as porn or Hustler magazine; some wrote letters to local newspapers and television stations. “We have received hundreds of angry letters from them,” said Chance.

Glory Fink, the author of Pillow Talk, gives another reason for this widespread lack of sexual knowledge: families are spending less and less time together, so many children are not getting “the talk” about the birds and the bees at home. “This has left the children of those families learning about relationships and sexuality through television, movies, and the Internet,” said Fink. “The problem with all of these medi[a] is that there is rarely a sensible voice offering a common sense viewpoint.”
UNO sophomore Alex Zimmerman agrees that sex columns in college papers fill a specific need for many students. “I think a sex column is a great way to pinpoint some of the main issues college students deal with,” said Zimmerman. “I am definitely interested in reading what others have to say about sex and their sexual experiences, because it would help me cope with, or at least feel more comfortable with, my experiences as a college student.”

5th-Graders Accused of Sex in School

The students were arrested Tuesday at the Spearsville school in rural north Louisiana, authorities said. Two 11-year-old girls, a 12-year-old boy and a 13-year old boy were charged with obscenity, a felony. An 11-year-old boy, the alleged guard, was charged with being an accessory.

Uhmmm? WTF?!?
In less than 15 minutes, five fifth graders said to each other, “Hey, let’s strip down in front of these other five classmates and do it like they do on the Discovery Channel. Come on, Jimmy it’ll be fun!” Seriously, we keep harping on kids to say no to drugs but maybe we should be telling them to say no to public sex acts and anything else they wouldn’t be caught dead doing in front of their family. By the time I was in fifth grade, I was mortified if my mother even saw me in my panties. I’m wondering if these children and other children around the country need a healthy lesson in shame and embarrassment.

Any time someone wonders, “Why is this kid like that.” as soon as s/he meet the parents the question is answered. Children having sex at school in front of other children doesn’t just happen. Many things had to go wrong during home training for those kids to get to that level of wrong. I will absolutely give you that those kids shouldn’t have been unsupervised but when I was a kid if a group of ten kids was left alone for 15 minutes we would probably be talking, sleeping, drawing in our notebook, maybe writing on the blackboard and possible the girls would be going through their backpacks and purses to play “makeover”. That’s it. No removing of clothes and certainly no sex.

I’m pushing for an intensive parenting/family course for all 11th graders to pass in order to graduate and raise kids. A yearlong, one hour a day, five days a week for the entire school year with legitimate lessons like what is an appropriate bedtime for 8 year olds and making nutritious meals for your family.

Too many people are now ignorant of how to raise children and the ignorance is spreading not dissipating. We are going to need to take action or in a generation or so, we won’t be overly shocked if there’s a news story about a bunch of first graders having an orgy after a scout meeting.

Man gets 30 years for ripping out wife’s eyes
Sydney Morning Herald
March 21, 2007 – 7:42AM

A man who ripped out his wife’s eyes in a fit of rage was sentenced by a French court to 30 years behind bars on Tuesday.

Mohamed Hadfi, 31, tore out his 23-year-old wife Samira Bari’s eyes following a heated argument in their apartment in the southern French city of Nimes in July 2003 after she refused to have sex with him.

Here’s an idea. Walk away before you disfigure some one when in a fit of rage.

Perhaps “duh” to you but evidently not everyone’s gotten the message.

Tradition and family pressure are not suitable reasons to stay in a miserable marriage especially if rage and sex demands are added to the problems. I have read that people with anger management issues often feel powerless or a sense of loss of control. Sounds like Hadfi was caught between a rock and a liberated French minded wife. How tortuous.

That’s the problem with women, you teach them to read and they think they are allowed to think independently.

Undiplomatic ties cost drunk ambassador his job
Guardian Unlimited

Israel has recalled its ambassador to El Salvador after he was found drunk and naked apart from bondage gear.
A foreign ministry spokeswoman said a search was under way for his replacement…

This is why I am always stressing to you to be sober if you decide to do a little BDSM. That way if you’re a diplomat and you are caught in bondage gear A) you’ll be sober and B) you’ll have enough wits to claim that you were testing out a harness for your St. Bernard. “What is that? I don’t have a dog? Well, I was going to purchase a puppy shortly but I wanted to be sure to have the appropriate equipment before I started trying to train such a big and energetic dog.” There, problem solved. They now think you’re strange but strange is better than losing your job in a very public manner.

Learn from Mr. Raphael’s mistake. Don’t mix BDSM and alcohol!
