Outside The Asylum

The only reason any man embraces abortion, is to control women politically.

David Berreby – The obesity era : Diet and exercise is the problem, says the American mantra of why obesity is epidemic, but then how do you explain an obesity epidemic in lab rats, whose diet and exercise is strictly controlled?

And yes, it starts in Oregon with "rehabilitation" of businesses that are not politically correct.

When a person is told to stop a behavior and fails this spectaularily , it's addiction. Predatory sexual behavior of this type is an addiction, I know that from experience. Most of us grow out of this addiction by age 21....

To go to a Doctor when you are ill, proves that you need no doctor when you are well. The News is nothing but exceptions.

USAID Rep Shuts Down Workshop on Abortion Complications : Just refuse to track the deaths and censor anybody who talks about it.

Within 5 hours of finding out current contract is ending, I've been submitted for 4 positions and had a 20 minute interview with a recruiter.

The American Spectator : SlutWalk Insanity : My problem isn't so much with consensual sex, as with undocumented consent.

Suicide’s Tormented Souls | Crisis Magazine : In Belgium, euthanasia is voluntary and can be practiced even on the non-terminally ill. It begs the question- when is temporary unhappiness worth a final solution?

If more Catholics were less hypocritical and spoke up for this truth , there's be far less violence in the world.

Heard at work today: horniness is so overpowering for normal people that they need a reset button after sex, and birth control/plan B provides that reset button. I had never thought of it in those terms before, but that's likely because even when I was a good deal less moral about my sexuality, I was trying to trap women into a relationship by having a child with them. Not the best behavior, but behavior none the less. Once I discovered the Church was more right than wrong about this, I went about it the old fashioned way and got married first and then seriously went to work on having children. Failed at it, but I've always been serious about it. In other words, horniness for me, has always been about procreation, even as a teenager. I think it would be much better to teach pre-teens that these feelings are *specifically* about wanting not just another person that you are attracted to, but a child. There'd be a lot fewer mistakes if that was common knowledge instead...

Than by the collective demand that we need to eliminate the concept of sin.

After-birth abortion: why should the baby live? -- Giubilini and Minerva -- Journal of Medical Ethics : Euthanasia, it's not just for old people anymore.

No genetic origin for homosexuality , and no stability either. Gay is not a death sentence.

Is full of violence and destruction

but hasn't facebook already prooved the business model of building public infrastructure with advertising?

Fr. Hesburgh would probably disagree with this title , but it fits his legacy and theology of heterodoxy and inclusion in sin.

But Pat Robertson's pro-birth, ragamuffin mentality is the real problem hidden below abortion. And yes, a 10th/11 children child responded, with real economics . A massive insult to poor parents and their children.

I've written this before, but never quite so well. So I'm reposting this from a comment I made on Public Catholic . The comment is so general, the topic so important, it deserves a posting of its own. The special thing about Catholic morality for me, the one sentence that brought me back out of atheism and Buddhism, the one thing that makes Catholicism absolutely unique among all the world's religions, can be found explicitly in the first two sections of the English translation of the Vatican II document Nostra Aetate. Hints of it can be found before, it's the reason St Irenaeus used the greek word Katholikos to describe his flock ~1900 years ago, it may even be explicitly written out elsewhere in more ancient languages, but the whole idea of following Truth even when it leads us to paradoxes, even when it leads us to messy solutions, is *extremely* important, and exists in no other system of thought that human beings have come up with. Even science excludes some f...

Homosexuality is real, but is not based in "innate nature" but rather in a lack of suitable sexual partners created by a lack of fertile females.

Marriage over the past 40 years in the secular state has become a shadow of what Sacramental Marriage is. I now advocate for the destruction of civil marriage entirely. The state has NO compellable interest in telling us who can marry whom, who can get divorced, what terms are in a household agreement contract, what employers do with benefits, or who is living in a house I own. Likewise, custody and dependency for children needs to be done away with, it's far to much of a hassle, and parents who think they need the law to keep track of their kids are bad parents. Likewise, since women do not want men in their children's lives anyway, father's rights should be abolished. Then and only then will we have a society that is truly equal under the law.

This former lesbian is 20 years older. I have to wonder if this is where Leah is headed.

I sure hope the Vatican isn't trying to capitalize on the writings of the last three Popes. But within a year of the election of each, Libreria Editrice Vaticana puts out a strongly worded "Decree" claiming copyright on all the writings of the man elected Pope. And it has been strong in enforcing online copyright thereof. This strikes me as being directly against the value of evangelization. The Church exists as the protector of truth. The Church has a right to make sure use of her teachings is in conformity with those teachings to be sure. But to charge for the printing of the Pope's words? That seems to me to be a potential case of simony. And in this day and age where copyright is becoming more of a hinderance than a help in getting ideas out, I think we need a new tool. That's why I've added a Creative Commons license to this blog.

I think I've fallen into a trap. This post is an attempt to get out of the trap. I've given away too much thought share. Only physical gender is provable, because only physical gender exists. This heterosexual/homosexual stuff is just fantasy, from a culture that long ago divorced marriage from procreation and instead, at the insistence of the greeting card companies who made lots of money off of it, made it about romantic eros. Romance is fine when kept in its place. It's a great way to bind parents together for life. Women seem to crave it. But it is not the end-all-be-all of love, let alone human existence. It is possible to survive with no romance at all. It's possible to live without any physical human contact at all. Physical gender is required for pro-creation. But this romance stuff? All hooey.

And you wonder why I say gay marriage is more about the Church than it is about homosexuals.

The True Face of “Happy Divorce” is Quite Ugly | Crisis Magazine : Yep, we've got several single parent families in my wife's daycare- I can guarantee you that the only people who *might* be happy with a divorce are the parents.  The kids never are.

I find it interesting to compare Today's reading from the Catechism with this piece by a homosexual author . Sometimes compassion and empathy are at odds. Irrational empathy MUST yield to rational compassion in those instances. And this is one of them. Having same sex attraction is not wrong. Those who have same sex attraction should be included in every stage in society. But those of us who *actually* have compassion for the homosexual, know that the person perversion hurts the most- is the perverted person who will never know the joy of sex done right, never know the 9 months of worry over a spouse and the future, never know what it is like to hold and care for an infant with the same genetic structure and "new baby smell" that you once had as an infant. And that goes for women who take poison to be artificially sterile as well as homosexuals as well as men who want sex without fatherhood. It's all harmful, not just to greater society- but to the people who en...
