NOTE: This kind of goes from a rant, to just describing how annoying he is or what he does and how he acts and shit like that. Sorry. Lol.

So for a few months I’ve had this guy on Gaia harassing not only me but quite a few people. He goes around pulling assumptions out of his ass and assuming he knows basically everything about everyone or everything. And recently he started lecturing me about my using Gaia and saying I’m a failure and whatnot, and I just thought it was so funny, because he’s acting like I have no right to use gaia during my free time or really whenever I want.

Are you serious? If I want to spend whatever amount of time I deem necessary on Gaia when I’m able to, then I have every right to. And I’m not a failure just because I’m not doing what you would consider to be what “successful” people do. Not everybody has access to various opportunities or lives in a place where there are available jobs or a decent economy that would give you the ability to just go or do whatever the fuck you want.
And he’s acting like I spend 6 hours straight on gaia, which, unless there’s something REALLY interesting happening on there, is absolutely WRONG. And honestly, the only way you’d be able to know otherwise is if you stalked me, or monitored what I do on gaia or how long I’m on there, which makes you even more of a psycho than I originally thought.  

Why is my time on gaia, or how much of it I spend on there of any concern to you, anyway? Why do you go out of your way to bring it up when you see me?  

And when you said “maybe I’m rich and handsome” when I threw your assumptions back at you, well then where’s the logic in that? Why are you even considering coming on Gaia or even just online to harass or criticise anybody when you could be out doing things “successful” or rich people do? If you are rich or handsome, do you just come online to rub that in people’s faces or to make them feel like theyre less than you? Cause honestly I don’t want anything that you have if it means being anything like you. I actually pity you, TBH.
Seriously, just because you live your life a certain way, doesn’t mean everyone else should live it that way too.  

And then you call me fat and act like you even know what I look like. First of all, what’s so wrong with being fat? If its not hurting anybody and the person is perfectly healthy, then don’t try to make them feel ashamed of their weight. People like you are the reason a lot of people end up with eating disorders, because you shame them for how they look when it’s honestly not any of your business. 

And then you say I made you hate gay people just because my friend and I were JOKING about him being your boyfriend. Are you stupid? How can you say I made you hate anything? You hating something is entirely up to you and what you CHOOSE to believe. I didn’t make you do anything, especially not with kidding around. If you hate gays because of something you CHOSE to take seriously, when I made it clear that it was a joke, then that’s entirely your fault. Not mine. I never told you to hate gays, I never told you that gays were bad, so please, tell me how I made you hate them. 

Why is it that all the morons on the internet like to sit on their ass, then try to tell you how you’re living YOUR life wrong when they don’t know anything about you? What the fuck is wrong with people? And they’re always know-it-all pricks, too. 

And this guy just gets so angry, and he tries to use his anger as a threat to me to make me back off during arguments or when I’m messing with him after he starts harassing me. I mean, he just takes everything so seriously. 
And he’s always threatening to rape people’s moms (I swear, it’s like he has a fetish for mothers or something) and murder people and then he describes what he’s going to do with such vague details, it’s like, are you honestly thinking anybody’s going to take you seriously? It’s hard to tell if he’s really a psycho or just a really bad troll. 

And everytime he’s bothering me he tries to act like I have no friends and shit despite the fact that I’m talking to friends WHILE talking to him. I mean, they’re right in front of him, but he still acts like I have no friends, and it’s ironic since he really has no friends (the random users he “hangs out” with are people he just tries to be the leader of). 
He’s also one of those people who says that friends you make online aren’t real friends, they’re “fake” friends. Dude, online friends can be just as real as anyone you know irl, and friends you have irl can be just as fake as anyone you meet online.

‎”THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. it may save a life.) Reblog this!

  
It seems that alot of attackers use some tactic to get away with violence. Not many people know how to take care of themselves when faced with such a
situation. Everyone should read this especially each n every girl in this world. THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD INFO TO PASS ALONG…

FYI - Through a rapist’s eyes! A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:



1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle.
They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.

3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.

5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.

6] Number three is public restrooms.

7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.

8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.

10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.

———————————————————————————————————————————-

POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:


1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk:
can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.

 
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would 
not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.

4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and
armpit or in the upper inner thigh - HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.

5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our
instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.

6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using
much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel
little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

——————————————————————————————————————————-

FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….

I know you are smart enough to know these pointers but there will be some, where you will go “hmm I must remember that” After reading forward it to someone you care about, never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.


1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.

2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or
purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
 

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be
hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you! u are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
 

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
  

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

 REBLOG THE SHIT OUT OF THIS! Every woman/girl in the world MUST see this sometime in their life- read this a million times, so you’ll remember what to do if you’re in these circumstances. Better safe than sorry.

i am now really paranoid.

How about instead of making posts telling me what to not do *not have long hair, and not go through my purse, really??) You make a post telling those bastards that raping is 100% the fault of the rapist, and in order to prevent rape, the rapists should not fucking rape anyone.
Do not teach me how to not get raped. TEACH THOSE BASTARDS TO NOT FUCKING RAPE ANYONE. 

^ and being raped has nothing to do with the way you dress or carry yourself; you’re not “asking for it” if your hair’s tied up or you’re wearing a short-ass skirt or lots of makeup or no makeup at all. It has everything to do with power and control over another innocent person and these people need to be taught the above bolded.

(via zofq)

So on my facebook wall, currently, there’s a bit of drama happening due to the mother of a 2 year old posting a status expressing that she is currently frustrated and saying that he’s acting like a little bitch. So, after a couple girls started jumping down her throat about it, I’m pretty curious, do you think it’s ok to call your child a bitch? I don’t mean to their face, I mean via facebook because you’re frustrated.

Personally, I feel that she did it out of frustration and anger and it’s on facebook. He doesn’t even use a computer yet, and by the time he’s old enough to make one of his own, the status will be so far down her timeline that it won’t even matter anymore. She’s not even saying it to his face, it’s just a status on facebook made out of frustration.

Besides, if you were frustrated with your mother, or a friend or whatever, and I know tons of people do this, you’d call them a bitch or something else that’s just as bad, not even to their face either. Why, in some people’s minds, is it bad when you call a little kid a bitch in a facebook status, yet those same people would probably call a relative or a friend a bitch in a facebook status?
Personally, I feel like as long as it’s JUST a status post, or a post on tumblr, or anything made due to frustration, then whatever. Said parent is just frustrated/annoyed/however they might be feeling and they let a bad word out, or called the kid a brat. If they’re not verbally abusing the child, or abusing them in general, or getting in their face, or taking the anger out on them or anyone for that matter, then fine, get your anger out via facebook or some other social networking site. 

I’m not quite sure if this post makes sense or not, lol.

A variety of creatures have been selected for the expression of colors that allow them to blend in more appropriately or appear distasteful compared to another prey item. The Pied Mossy Frog, Wilson’s Wood Nymph moth, and a Bolas spider are wonderful examples of this interesting aid to survival, for they seem to appear as bird droppings. These creatures have been known as “bird dropping mimics”. The last spider is unidentified but is still a wonderful display of camouflage. 

Nature is amazing.

Activist prevents Israeli officer from arresting Palestinian child

During Sunday’s Jerusalem Day events, a Palestinian boy, perhaps 10 years old, was chased down an East Jerusalem street by a very angry officer of the Border Police. The boy tripped and fell, then picked himself up just as the Border Police officer reached him and tried to grab him. But a 22 year-old female Israeli activist prevented the boy’s arrest by throwing herself between the two, allowing the Palestinian boy to flee.

Jerusalem Day is meant to be a celebration of the city’s ‘reunification’ following Israel’s victory in the 1967 war. In practice, it is a day for Israeli nationalists, draped in flags, dancing in circles, singing and chanting (including the popular Israeli nationalist chant, ‘death to Arabs’) as they march through the streets of East Jerusalem and the Old City. Many of the Jewish demonstrators are bused in from right-wing yeshivas in Israel and the West Bank

This year, an Orthodox Jewish man grabbed the Palestinian flag from the hands of a 10 year-old boy and refused to return it. The boy, enraged, tried to prise it out of the Jewish man’s hands. A Border Police officer, seeing the struggle between a 10 year-old Palestinian boy and a fully grown Jewish man, chased the Palestinian boy rather than ordering the Jewish man to return the flag. Someone made a montage of the incident and posted it on Facebook, with commentary. Note the expression of rage in the Border Police officer’s eyes, as seen in the second photo.

In the end the boy got away, due to the intervention of a 22 year-old Israeli activist from Jerusalem named Sahar Vardi, who threw herself in front of the Border Police officer just as he was about to grab the child. Photojournalist Haim Schwarczenberg caught the incident.

The incident was also filmed and the clip posted on Youtube.

This is so disgusting. If you don’t wanna click the link, or find it a bit tl;dr here is his ever so nice plan

I had a way, I figured a way out, a way to get rid of all the lesbians and queers, but I couldn’t get it passed through Congress. Build a great big large fence, fifty or a hundred mile long, put all the lesbians in there. Fly over and drop some food. Do the same thing with the queers and the homosexuals, and have that fence electrified ‘til they can’t get out. Feed them, and you know what, in a few years, they’ll die out. Do you know why? They can’t reproduce.

Declaring that “life must always be protected”, a senior Vatican cleric has defended the Catholic Church’s decision to excommunicate the mother and doctors of a nine-year-old rape victim who had a life-saving abortion in Brazil.

Cardinal Giovanni Batista Re, who heads the Pontifical Commission for Latin America, told reporters that although the girl fell pregnant after apparently being abused by her stepfather, her twins had, “the right to live, and could not be eliminated”.

In an interview with the Italian newspaper, La Stampa, the cardinal added: “It is a sad case but the real problem is that the twins conceived were two innocent persons. Life must always be protected.”

Police believe the girl was sexually assaulted for years by her stepfather, possibly since she was six. That she was four months pregnant with twins emerged only after she was taken to hospital complaining of severe stomach pains.

The controversy represents a PR nightmare for the Vatican. The unnamed girl’s mother and doctors were excommunicated for agreeing to Wednesday’s emergency abortion yet the Church has not taken formal steps against the stepfather, who is in custody. Jose Cardoso Sobrinho, the conservative regional archbishop for Pernambuco where the girl was rushed to hospital, has said that the man would not be thrown out of the Church, because although he had allegedly committed “a heinous crime”, the Church took the view that “the abortion, the elimination of an innocent life, was more serious”.

The case has set off fierce debate in Brazil, where abortion is permitted only in cases of rape or a medical emergency. Brazil is one of the most populous Catholic countries, but conservative attitudes in rural areas are strongly at odds with the relatively progressive public view of abortion in major cities.

Even the President, Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva, has waded into the row. “As a Christian and a Catholic, I deeply regret that a bishop of the Catholic Church has such a conservative attitude,” he said “The doctors did what had to be done: save the life of a girl of nine years old. In this case, the medical profession was more right than the Church.”

One of the doctors involved in the abortion, Rivaldo Albuquerque, has raised the prospect of public clashes at his local church, telling Globo, the nation’s main TV network, that he would keep going to mass there, regardless of the archbishop’s order. The young girl at the centre of the case escaped excommunication only because she is still a child in the eyes of Church authorities. The stepfather, who is 23, was arrested last week, apparently trying to escape to another region of the country. Police say he is also suspected of abusing the girl’s handicapped 14-year-old sister. He is in protective custody, and if convicted faces up to 15 years in prison.

[source]

Surprised they didn’t force the young girl to marry her rapist, but I suppose that’s only because he was already married to her mother.

The Vatican and everyone in it needs to burn.

I’ve blogged about this story before, but yeah. A stepfather molested his young stepdaughter, and she became pregnant with twins. At age 9. N-I-N-E. That’s basically the definition of “babies having babies.” Her mother found doctors willing to terminate the pregnancy, and they were all excommunicated. But not the stepfather. Because sexually abusing living, actual children is totally cool - the Catholic Church has proved that on multiple occasions - but preventing a nine-year-old from giving birth to her stepfather’s children conceived in rape is worthy of excommunication.

Awful.

earth2snowflake:

Speaking on whether it’s more selfish to stop someone from killing themselves or someone killing themselves. Thinks the one solution to depression is to “stick it out.”

Original video title: “What Is More Selfish? (Let’s Smile Again OK?)

Greg is a treasure chest of horrific and bad advice and this video really struck a cord with me. The first thing I found problematic about Greg’s video is the idea and assumption that depression is a phase. This leads me to believe that he has a difficult time differentiating basic human emotion in which we all experience and depression. Depression is a legitimate and sometimes serious medical condition that requires treatment by a healthcare professional. While there are individuals who may only experience short periods of feelings of sadness, anxiety, lethargy, and otter symptoms that encompass general depression, 15 million American adults, or approximately 5-8 percent of the adult population here suffer from more severe illness, which can be referred to as major depressive disorder or clinical depression. Major depressive disorder is a disabling condition that adversely affects a person’s family, work or school life, sleeping and eating habits, and general health. In the United States, around 3.4% of people with major depression commit suicide, and up to 60% of people who commit suicide had depression or another mood disorder.

  This is where I feel Greg’s message can be misinforming and potentially dangerous. Clinical depression isn’t going to go away by “sticking it out”, it’s like any other medical condition and it requires medical treatment. While there are many factors that play into the development of clinical depression, such as psychological factors, heredity comes into play as well, and in some cases, its biological. This means our monoamie chemicals serotonin norepinephine, and dopamine are out of balance. These chemicals help regulate our moods and when these get out of balance, we can become severely depressed.

 

  And this is what compelled me to write this post in the first place because telling someone who is experiencing symptoms of depression so severely that they’re contemplating suicide, telling them to wait a few weeks before killing themselves because their life will get better, is the worst and dumbest advice I have ever seen someone give about depression especially if depression is caused by a chemical imbalance. Waiting for your problems to go away or to start feeling better, you could actually start to feel worse and put yourself in potential danger to yourself.

  There are also various types of long term drug abuse that may cause or exasterbate existing conditions as well. While depression develops in different ways and affects individuals differently, this is a condition that in general cases need to be treated with psychopharmocogy in conjunction with talk therapy. Saying depression is just a phase only further adds to the stigma of the mental illness community that many fight tooth and nail to stop. These are real feelings and real medical problems.

  So with this new information and different perspective on mental health, one has to ask themselves again, which is more selfish? You know what I find selfish? That someone who may have a loved one experiencing clinical drepession so severely that their quality of life has deteriorated to the point were they feel suicide is a serious solution to their problems, that they make it about THEM and THEIR feelings and shaming that individual for not thinking about THEIR feelings when contemplating their own problems and suicide. This. is. not. about. you, and making their own personal problems which may or may not have anything to do with you, about you, only derails the discussion and invalidates the seriousness and maybe even the legitimacy of their illness.

  Someone who is depressed needs a strong support system of friends, family, and peers to help guide and support them through the sometimes diffuiclult learning process of coping skills and learning to accept and adapt to your illness so that you can continue to lead a fulfilling and satisfying life. If you truly care about your loved one, do not shame them for being depressed and feeling suicidal. Do not shame them for sharing these feelings. Listen to them. Do not interrupt them, do not give your advice or “take” on the situation. DO NOT tell them how much they have to live for, this is trivializing. Just let them confide in you. Let them know that you’re there to support them and offer help when ASKED for*. 

-Now, I’m going to inster a little caveat here and say, if your loved one is seriously contemplating suicide, has expressed he or she wants to hurt themselves, has a plan, and/or already has hurt themselves, this is now a serious medical emergency and you need to seek medical attention for them IMMEDIATELY. This is the time to either get them to the nearest hospital for a psychicatic evaluation or call 911 if it is extremely unsafe situation or they have already made an attempt on their life.

  With treatment and a good support system, experiencing depression can be short term- but sitting on your problems and waiting for them to just go away isn’t how to do it!

Below are some links to national mental health resources, including suicide prevention resources.

So this woman, Trisha Paytas, on YouTube received cookies from this woman who seemed really sweet and was asking Trish to do a review of them. She filmed the review the night she got them with her mother and her sister, and put it on the list of  video reviews she had already filmed and whatnot that needed to be uploaded. 

It has yet to be uploaded due to whatever reasons, and so his wife gets upset seeing that it has yet to be on her channel and he sees how upset his wife has gotten, and I realize he just wanted to defend her or whatever it was he was going for but he did it in all the wrong ways. He made a blog post (he’s saying it was actually a podcast, which I don’t have a link to either) which unfortunately I do not have the link to, nor have I been able to find it and read it, bashing Trish’s weight and whatnot (for full details regarding what he said about her, you can read her tweets: https://twitter.com/#!/trishapaytas) all over cookies?

Ok, I realize your wife was hurt because Trish had yet to release the video, but she never said she would release it at a certain time, so you and your wife need to learn patience, and you need to stop lashing out and acting like some shallow prick just because your wife got hurt too fast and felt “led on”.

What’s even better than this guy acting like a shallow prick, was his friend on twitter acting like even more of a shallow prick about her weight and laughing at her with him. I mean, really? I get defending a family member when they get hurt, but that doesn’t give you and your friends the right to start acting like 16 year high school kids who go around harassing people just to make themselves or whomever feel better:

C’mon. You’re a grown man with a child/children, you have to start acting better than that.

As for your friend… Lol, no hope there, but whatever. He reminds me of those guys on gaia that you see who are always trying to act like they’re so incredibly tough. It’s laughable really.

I realize they didn’t mean to have that happen, and you can clearly see them panicking over it, but why do some people even have kids? I mean, they’re probably not bad parents, but there’s just some things you shouldn’t do with your child and putting them in a washing machine for a spin cycle like Stuart little is one of them.
