And you're friends with this person? The Sharia law people just make no sense to me at all.

Went to high school with him. I didn't get that part, either. But I sort of stopped trying to make sense out of it.

After my mum learned about the weak willed home aid, she went down for a weekend of Throwing Shit Out.

I thought I could no longer be shocked. At first I thought he meant bringing in a psychologist or social worker who worked with sex offenders, which seems reasonable. No, he is thinking of contacting people in the sex offender registry locally. I am not sure they are would be allowed to come to campus, as we have a daycare

My crazy theatre director has reached new levels of insanity. We are doing a play with a storyline about pedophilia and he has decided he wants to bring in a pedophile to talk to the students!!!

Danger, university legal department, danger!

If he follows through (he tends to lose interest if it is difficult, and his admin is not going to do this for him) we can go to the head of the dept, and quit.

I mean, does think I am going to contact my uncle who molested his daughters( and probably the the foster children they had going in and out oh their house)

pedophile

REALLY?! So the students can become sympathetic to the pedophile's plight? Because there's gaining insight, if not understanding or sympathy, and then there's giving a sick sick person a chance to explain just why they enjoy it so and justify it. There's some abysses that don't need to be peered into, especially for the sake of art/entertainment. Sorry, that's just a world of NO.

THIS. There HAS to be someone up the chain of command you can talk to.

Went to high school with him.

Most of my FB friends list is left-leaning (or at least not very happy with the current Republican platform), but there's at least one woman on there who I know from high school on my friends list who changed her picture -- not her thumbnail profile picture, but the big one on the Timeline page (what is that? background? cover photo?) -- to a big glorious banner of Romney. It made me want to throw up a little. She also posted last night that she was looking forward to "watching our next vice-president speak at his convention."

I almost commented to ask why Biden was speaking at the Republican convention, but I decided to not stir shit.

When my parents got there, all the food had been tv dinners, and the one supposed to clean was too afraid to do so, in case she got yelled at for throwing out the empty used dirty tv dinner trash.

Wow.

He called Obama a communist and said Sharia law was going to be installed in America.

WOW.

WOW!!

Has everyone lost their everloving minds??

I also don't understand the Sharia law thing. I had a moment, before Katrina was so botched by GWB that I thought there might be a plot to abandon term limits and elect GWB again, but I realized I was nuts

Sophia,

Not for nothing, but among the students who may be in attendance may be victims. Has this person considered that?
