The CBC reports a story about a 66-year-old missionary, Eloise Bergen, and her husband who was assaulted in Kenya earlier this year, and recently testified against her assaulters. People feel the need to state their opinions in the comments: ( Read more... )

This story has been widely reported by Canadian media, so there are even more choice comments, including an opinion piece and replies on the Globe and Mail site. There are also articles from when the assault occurred, including a longer comment thread at the original CBC article.

ETA: Sorry, was a mispost (the comments I originally found were wanky rather than plain depressing, and I forgot to change the field). The recipes sound delicious, though.

A secret about prop 8 is posted to this post in Fandom secrets. And we get twofold wank for it, too!

Wank #1: FOMG HOW IS THIS NOT A 'NOT-SECRET' THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FANDOM WHATSOEVER! This one is small, though, because the modly type froze the comments.

Wank #2: Gay is wrong. No u! No u! NO U! NO U! And that's all within the first three pages.

Also, liking het means you hate gay marriage. Srsly. And there's macros. And people loling over all the wank this caused. And there's also a thread of d'awwww.

I chose to post it here instead of fandom wank because almost all of the arguments were not fandom related. And there was even an argument about that, too!

Poor cf_ioan is having a bad day. Over at the Childfreez, she posts about how an "idiot moo cunt" she is acquainted with "fortunately...miscarried". She does not receive acclaim for this viewpoint.

( Plenty of stereotypes and hate for everyone )

found_objects is an LJ community where people post pictures of objects they... find. Today, kingeryck posts an ad for 'buy one, get one free' plan B emergency contraception, and titles his post "for the frugal slut". People are not amused. The OP wonders is this in like stupid_free and other wank communities yet?


ETA: Okay, okay, it's not funny, lesson learned, let this post stand as a testament to this fact: I'm a dork who can't tell what's funny.

....except for this part, where bast_veiled calls the OP an ignorant teenage gay republican who knows nothing about birth control. I maintain that's a little funny.

ever_abstract makes a post to bad_service about a trip to the grocery store involving an incredibly obnoxious cashier-manager duo who give her a hard time about WIC.

This prompts starliteunicorn to tell the community that she thinks welfare is absolutely ridiculous. She goes on to inform us all:

I'm all for getting rid of it entirely. People used to help each OTHER out, instead of begging the government. And it bothers me. A lot. I don't get paid to just exsist-I have to work. I know some people CAN'T get jobs... but it seems extrodinarily unfair. Too many people leech off the welfare system without even ATTEMPTING to find work or get themselves to a better position. The stereotype of the drug addict mother to 6 different kids all with different daddies is true for about 65% of people coming through the various types of welfare (taken from a friend who does, indeed, work in a WIC office).

And it just snowballs from there.

glitteringlynx and lilenth bring Bill Cosby wank and racism wank to childfree. Break out all your bingo cards folks. It's a cornucopia of crazy.

On etsy, a woman asks for advice about her dog That's cool,right? No. two hour drive? just an excuse. I shake my head

In booju_mooju, jessy1019 states that she is anti-adoption.

"I am anti-adoption. I got involved in the movement when I was still in high school, so it's been about nine years now -- began researching adoption for an American Law class and the summer after I graduated, I founded an organization called Adoption: Legalized Lies (www.antiadoption.org)."

She closes this post with:

"I will say that I'm honestly not looking to start anything here and have no desire to debate this in circles. I'm happy to answer questions, though."

Two pages as of this post. The comments keep on coming.

Holy cow my head's spinning. I'll give some highlights later as I find them. I need my bottle boobie and then my blanky and a nap.

Highlights as I find them or are tipped off to me. Not necessarily in order because I. Cannot. Wrap. My. Head. Around. This. I'm trying to refrain from wanking over there myself.

pradagirl: What do you propose we do with all the children given to the state or taken from abusive homes etc. Should we abort them or just leave them in the system?

jessymessybrain: This is answered many times above. Guardianship -- child gets a safe, loving home without having to endure all the losses of adoption.

queensugar gives jessy1019 props for not using the term "baby stealer". Turns out that jessynumbers does. When asked why, she says that she doesn't use it unless it "applies" and she doesn't mean to kidnappers either.

elizaveta weighs in on "against adoption". jessy-smarmy dishes out an I'mSoSorry and reads from her prepared file cards.

Sarcfest and minor furry reference here.

Scarlett75 throws some logic and Jessy does the circle dance.
