Congolese rape victims march against sexual violence - CNN.com
Congolese rape victims march against sexual violence - CNN.com""My heart is in pain, why are you raping me?" sang the rape victims, many of whom left hospital beds to join the march in eastern Congo.
"They have had enough, enough, enough, enough," said Nita Vielle, a Congolese women's activist, of the women marching. "Enough of the war, of the rape, of nobody paying attention to what's happening to them."
When is their nightmare going to STOP and I do not see the Media reporting as often as it should, demanding it to stop. Why are we so silent about it?

Demand for hijab ruling causes uproar in State Parliament | Adelaide Now
Demand for hijab ruling causes uproar in State Parliament | Adelaide NowDemand for hijab ruling causes uproar in State Parliament | Adelaide Now
When we travel to some countries we are obliged to respect their laws and costumes as we should.
I do respect others costumes as long as they do not cause harm, and so, I do not care what a person wears or not, but I have the right to ask questions without such uproar...we are a democracy are we not?
What happened lately to free speech?
Do we have to change our costumes?
This is the type of political correctness that makes people uneasy. We should never abdicate our right, it took us many years to arrive to this kind of democracy(we have free elections,equal rights, fair laws,freedom of speech, etc) this is our way, and that does not mean we respect anyone less but we care about our rights.
Do not dare to call me racist I AM NOT.
I only want to understand why should I be treated differently...I WANT MY FREE SPEECH BACK WITHOUT BEING CONCERNED OF BEING LABELED A RACIST.

Miranda Devine asks: Why are all men made to feel like fiends? | News.com.aumy answer:

Would you think if men united with women to eradicate sex crimes we would be having less of this criminals going around?
Lately I have been bombarded with gang raping in sports do I see any group of men standing up to their mates?

STOP BULLYING
STOP BULLYINGAs a short term solution, the prohibition will probably stop the bullying, although it is imperative that further actions are taken to avoid incidents such as the ones we have seen lately in the US.
It is time that BULLYING stops being denied, and actions are taken to avoid further violence in our schools and society.
The bullies will grow up and according to research they will likely commit crimes, make our streets unsafe, or continue bully-like behaviors in their workplaces and homes.
A lack of appropriate action will not only let kids down, but us as a society.
What kind of world do we want our families to live in?
In my opinion all of us have a roll to play.
The type of violence we have witnessed lately is beyond comprehension, and can not be ignored.
The Education Department and the media should unite, and open discussions, maybe a Q&A about school bullying.
Recruit help from professionals, universities and the like to find effective ways to address bullying. Educate students and people in general about their rights, responsibilities and the consequences of such behaviors.
We should watch what is happening in the US and address it here.
It is about time we condemn Bullying publicly and make it uncool.

Some Bullies Just Never Stop WHY??????????????????????
I can not believe after so many years they are still bullying me?
It does not help that they work in IT, have IT friends and skills that they use to harm others.
I just hope they do not do it to anyone else, do they really know how do they affect people? Do they care?
What kind of monsters are they? Are they just bored?
Do something useful, go and help someone in need, change the world, just stop bullying.
Are they the same bullies or different ones?
Did you ever had the following thoughts:
They do not like me but why be so cruel?
Why me?
What is wrong with me?
What did I do to deserve this?
I just want them to stop.
No matter what I do, they just do not like me?
They ignore me, pretend I do no exist. Sometimes I feel I do not.
I do not want to go to school, to work, home. I just want to disappear.
I really hope there is a GOD, but where is he?
Worst thoughts?
JUST STOP.
IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT, IT IS THE BULLIES FAULT.
THEY ARE WEAK.
SOMETIMES THEY DO IT BECAUSE OF JEALOUSY, OTHER TIMES JUST FOR FUN (THEY ARE SAD AND UNHAPPY AND WANT OTHERS TO FEEL THE SAME WAY).
DO NOT GIVE THEM THE POWER TO AFFECT YOU, TAKE ACTION, FIND AN ADVOCATE FROM YOUR FAMILY, SCHOOL, AUTHORITIES, OTHER GROUPS.
TELL EVERYONE WHAT THEY DID TO YOU. BULLIES ARE COUNTING ON YOUR SILENCE.
DOCUMENT THE ABUSE AND TAKE ACTION. COMPLAIN TO EVERYONE, DO IT FOR YOU AND FOR THE OTHERS THEY WILL BULLY.
IF YOU TAKE YOUR POWER BACK AND EXPOSE THEM THEY WILL STOP BULLYING YOU, AND IF NOT TAKE IT TO THE AUTHORITIES.
DO NOT KEEP IT INSIDE, TELL SOMEONE.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Doctors attribute sudden cancer cures to biology, not God | Perth Now
So, doctors know that at least 400 cases of spontaneous remissions occurred in the last 150 years this is a fact.
If they think the result is biological which studies were conducted in those patients to find out any common traits, treatments, infections, etc and if not why?
How many millions of people have to die for them to ask questions, does anybody care?

4510.0 - Recorded Crime - Victims, Australia, 2009
4510.0 - Recorded Crime - Victims, Australia, 2009
The victimisation rate for all sexual assault victims aged 10-14 was 4 times higher than the rate for all age groups (338 victims per 100,000 people aged 10-14 compared with 86 victims per 100,000 people).
Female and male victims of sexual assault aged 10-14 both had victimisation rates 4 times higher than the rate for all females and males (579 female victims per 100,000 females aged 10- 14 compared with the overall rate of 144 female victims per 100,000 females; and 108 male victims per 100,000 males aged 10-14 compared with the overall rate of 26 male victims per 100,000 males.)
The majority (84%) of all sexual assault victims were female. Females were also the most prevalent victims of kidnapping/abduction (55%), while males were the most prevalent victims of robbery (75%), attempted murder (74%), murder (71%), and blackmail/extortion (69%).
Between 2008 and 2009, the number of victims recorded by police of blackmail/extortion offences increased by 60% (equating to a victimisation rate in 2009 of 3 victims per 100,000 people). The number of victims increased marginally for the personal offences of murder (1%) and attempted murder (1%), and decreased for manslaughter (-6%), sexual assault (-2%), kidnapping/abduction (-19%) and robbery (-5%).
Selected property offences in 2009 (unlawful entry with intent, motor vehicle theft and other theft) all decreased from 2008.
Of the selected personal offences, weapons were mainly used in murders, attempted murders, and robberies. A knife was the most common weapon used in committing these offences: 37% of attempted murder victims; 36% of murder victims; and 19% of robbery victims were subjected to an offence involving a knife.
Residential locations were the most common place of occurrence for the offences of unlawful entry with intent (68%), sexual assault (67%), murder (65%), attempted murder (62%), and motor vehicle theft (40%). The street/footpath was the most prevalent location where victims were robbed (46%) and kidnapped/abducted (45%).
Media note:
This publication presents national crime statistics relating to victims of a selected range of personal and property offences that have been recorded by police during 2009. Caution should be exercised in comparing 2009 data to prior years due to business process changes. More details are available in Recorded Crime - Victims, Australia, 2009 (cat. no. 4510.0).

WHO ARE THE REAL HEROES? ACT BAD OR GOOD, WHICH ONE THE EASIEST?
If only Media would help us all create a better world.
How nice it would be to see the Media bombarding us with news about young successful stars, good role models, good causes as often as they do about stars drinking themselves stupid, doing drugs, be violent to women, and in the end being successful with no consequences... but no those news will be too boring...
All of us are starving for great examples, and great causes, we need to change this new media madness frenzy of empty paparazzi.
Our media should take more responsibility, and help our youth to find the real heroes the ones that help others to change lives and the world,and make it cool to act good not bad.

SPORT AND OTHER STARS DISGUTING BEHAVIOUR
We all know how this is going to end...
So many club players are involved ...did I read this story sometime ago?
Supposing a sexual assault is done by a group of players, the club probably can not afford to risk to loose so many players, also it will be more difficult to prove wrong doing...right?
Well the public is sick of our stars disgusting behavior(drugs, violence against women, etc), they are role models and should behave like it or be taken out of the sport and limelight.
It is about time the clubs take action, education programs are not enough anymore, consequences are need it. What message are you giving to the next generation?
Educate them before making them stars , our boys and girls deserve better.
This type of stories are all the time in the news, what do you think will happen in a few years? Maybe it will not be at 3 am, it will be acceptable to do it anytime, anywhere. That is the message we are given to our boys, no consequences to bad and harmful behavior, and I am scared for the future of our girls.

We need ethical men discussing this issue in our media.Peer pressure?Are they courageous enough? Our boys urgently need good role models.
Do we want an increase of sexual assaults, and violence against women in the future?
Men have to think about their mothers, sisters, wives, daughters, nieces, and have a man to man talk about this issue.
Sometimes even if not wise... , women like man walk at 3 am and drink, does that give anyone the right to sexual harass , be violent or rape, NO is NO and no women should walk the streets afraid of perfectly "normal man"...
Australia we are not going back, we are going prehistoric.

Girl dies after 'bullying ordeal' | The Sun |News
The government should provide more school programs run by specialized people about bullying.
If you are being bullied, you have to tell an adult, preferably your parents, school, doctor, police, do not stop until they solve the problem, they have the obligation to help you.
Start documenting all the bullying with dates, times , person or persons involved , how they make you feel and if you can, record them.
You can send a letter with your notes to your school principal, if this does not stop the bullying, and you feel it is too much for you to cope with, tell your problem to as many people as you can.
Also you can write a letter with the bullying notes attached to authorities such as police, education minister or even the media.
Do not let the bullies isolate you, there are many people that can help, but you have to let them know how you are feeling , it is not easy but you can do it.
Feel free to ask any questions.

How many more women and girls? Will we ever know the real number?
If this was done to a prisoner the force of the law would be applied as it should.
What are we really doing about girls and women being mutilated? Do you know of anyone that committed this crime being jailed ?

DO WE CARE?
I do not know if people are too busy working or having fun ...
It is a reality, there are many taking advantage of good people.Are we too afraid to join good causes?
I know that the majority of us humans are good. Are we letting the "bad guys" rule our world?
Some days I do loose Faith that humanity will get it...
Are we so into our own problems that we do not have time to work together to improve the world we live in?
This lack of unity and apathy will hurt us, our family, friends, and the world ...RIGHT?
