JD saw Torture in Iraq
During my 5 months in Iraq with a Marine infantry platoon, the cruelest thing I ever saw detainees go through was being led in the Macarena by a Lance Corporal from a line company who couldn’t dance–after which they were all given a bottle of warm water and told to go home.
That is if you had to sit through watching a LCpl try to dance.
Great site and lots of pictures of Great Americans.
Now he misses Iraq and the life on the edge.
We are proud to announce the release of Fedora Directory Server 1.0
This is really cool.
This release uses the Apache httpd engine as its administration server, and includes mod_nss - a rewrite of mod_ssl which uses the Mozilla NSS crypto engine. The 1.0 release, in addition to its many other features such as LDAPv3, Multi-Master Replication, and Windows Synchronization, includes support for MD5, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 password hashing.
But this only maters if a company cares about how it spends its money. If it doesn’t care it will buy the name like Microsoft.

“A woman needs a man, like a fish needs a bicycle. - Gloria Steinem”
There are many women that still follow this. There are many women that want this to be true. what they do not want to believe is that it goes both ways!
Gloria Steinem, one of most recognizable and influential feminist activists of her generation, once made this statement to emphasize how unnecessary men are for women to achieve fulfillment in their lives. Thirty years ago, at the early stages of the modern feminist movement, most Americans probably considered this sentiment to be quite radical. However, the idea that men are somehow “biological necessities but social accidents” (as Margaret Mead once said) has become both socially acceptable and even politically correct.(emphasis mine)
How’s it working these days? I am all for womens right, equality, successful women are all over the place. Professional success comes at a price.
Over the past 30 years, women have made remarkable progress in the areas of society that had been dominated by men for centuries. The women’s movement was responsible for much of this advancement, and it was feminists who first pointed out that traditional gender roles were oppressive and demeaning to both men and women. Interestingly, only half of feminism’s message has made a meaningful impression on our collective consciousness. Women are now viewed as being capable of success in the workplace. Men, however, are not yet seen as being capable of providing competent, attentive child care - at least not in the eyes of many family court judges.
Family roles assumed by both men and women have been changing for decades in accordance with the feminist ideals. Current Census Bureau statistics indicate that 68 percent of U.S. mothers with children under the age of eighteen work outside the home. The “typical” postwar nuclear family is almost extinct. Ward and June Cleaver live on only in television reruns.
In most homes today, mothers and fathers share child-care duties and the daily labors necessary to operate a family (cooking, cleaning, shopping, feeding and bathing the kids, helping with homework, and so forth.)
Feminists have successfully dismantled the construct of marriage and family that existed half a century ago. However, as they have pushed for women to explore opportunities beyond the socially accepted norm, they have been unwilling to let men do the same. Feminists wanted to help get women out of the kitchen, but they didn’t want to let men in, so to speak. Women for the most part are reluctant to give up their traditional roles as primary care-givers for their children to fathers.
So what is this about? Is this a bad thing? It is good that women can also be successful in the business world. they should have the choice.
Society’s lack of respect for fatherhood, perpetuated and the inaccurate assumption that fathers are not truly interested in parenting combine to perpetuate a comfortable rationalization that fathers and children don’t need each other as much as mothers and children need each other. Accept that false premise andgender bias, although illegal and unfair, doesn’t seem all that harmful. Many fathers find separation from their children to be a tortuous, devastating experience
Equality?
The answer is that feminists were never just seeking gender equality, they were seeking gender superiority
there it is. out in the open!
This is the same form of injustice feminists have fought so hard to correct for women. Men are now on the other side of the same coin that the feministshave flipped over in the last 30 years. To tell a father he is biologically incapable of being a good parent, is like telling a woman she is naturally incapable of being a good doctor.
Many of the ladies I have dated in the last couple years have had this mindset. But the thing that so many people forget is that choice has consequences. Most of them are still single too. The new ladies I meet now days have a clock ticking and want tohave kids on their terms. Not realizing that is it a family and not a business. There are two people with input into the household. Quit watching your biological clock wind down and think.
