genessa's Profile

I am in roughly the same age group as Kavanaugh and Ford.

genessa comments on Sep 23, 2018:

the parents may have been more naive than lenient, not knowing where their kids were and what they were doing. they may have had assurances that the boys were doing something useful (like studying!) g

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

@BufftonBeotch he already has lied about a lot, apart from this. the man is a worm. i apologize to worms. g

When is it not the woman's fault? g

Mooolah comments on Sep 23, 2018:

Only when she does not use the safe word which is "NO".

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

no, actually, sometimes she cannot use the safe word, because there is a hand over her mouth, or a knife at her throat. sometimes she cannot use the safe word because she is unconscious. sometimes she cannot use the safe word because she has been told she will be killed if she says anything. sometimes she cannot use the safe word because she is not yet a woman but a little girl and she is too scared to say it. sometimes she cannot use the safe word because it is hard to speak when you're screaming. no, it's not the woman's fault that she was raped. EVER. g

Did Jesus know that the earth is round?

genessa comments on Sep 23, 2018:

jesus, if he existed, was a middle eastern jew (not greek, so his name couldn't have been jesus) who had no more knowledge of geography, astronomy or anything else than his contemporaries. g

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

@Stig it's not by accident. it's by design. opiate of the masses and all that. g

So I have a question for the people who know more about religions than I do.

genessa comments on Sep 23, 2018:

religions, or at least the deist portions thereof, would have to be rooted in some kind of reality for that scenario to come up. (and what makes you think other religions even HAVE a hell?) g

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

@Stig the person who believes in neither won't go to hell because those people know that there is no hell. g

Regarding the Hidden God Problem.

genessa comments on Sep 19, 2018:

of course this presumes not only the existence of a god, but the existence of a god who gives a shit. i cannot speak for the latter without first accepting the former, which i do not do. g

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

@johnprytz my example is offensive to other racial groups? which ones are "other" and why would that be offensive anyway? is pc still a thing? was it ever? i think pc was made up by people who didn't understand why it's not okay to use nasty words to hurt other people. g

ValJ comments on Sep 23, 2018:

This makes me so mad. Any boy who's been brought up with a sense of right and wrong, that's who hasn't done it - Jeez! I'd be totally devastated if I thought my son would do anything like this, and so should they be. Nobody's perfect but it's not too much to expect a judge to be of impeccable ...

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

they know. they don't care. that's the worst part. g

Boys will be... rapists.... g

JustKip comments on Sep 23, 2018:

Yep. If we're going to raise ou sons and daughters on the notion that rape is normal, they will grow up accepting it (like conservatives)

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

@JustKip exactly! g

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

yep... except that i believe there are no more conservatives. conservatives were people whose ideas were different from mine, less accepting, less forgiving, less willing to help others, more interested in saving money than saving lives. i didn't like conservatives. but now we have regressives. they are somewhat like conservatives and even call themselves conservatives, but in fact they are only interested in stealing money, not saving it. they are even less accepting and less forgiving than conservatives -- unless you're talking about one of their own who is guilty of a crime. rape? terrible... if the rapist if an immigrant or has dark skin. if the rapist is white, well, you wouldn't want to endanger the poor guy's future, would you? they're even less willing to help others, but they're not averse to helping themselves. save your life? who are you to them? why should they? oh, and, um, they lie. a lot. okay, they lie all the time. g

Who paid for this and who paid for that? g

bingst comments on Sep 23, 2018:

Has the FBI really investigated this guy?

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

they say they have. how well, who knows? but trump refuses to request that they reopen the investigation in light of this new information. g

Why I didn't report it.

genessa comments on Sep 23, 2018:

i am sorry and angry at the people involved that you had to experience that, and experience it without support. i understand why you did not report it. it is hard for a child to know what to do in any event. you seem quite articulate about it, which doesn't mean inside you're not still hurting, ...

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

@Julie808 i have triggers, for quite different reasons, and i don't know how to deal with them other than to hide my reactions, which isn't always helpful. i wish both of us good luck! g

Bad logic about christianity and shootings, cause and effect. g

DenoPenno comments on Sep 23, 2018:

JRehling telling it like it is. My kids want to claim it is because we "removed god from the classroom." I'm the first one to point out that god was never in our classrooms. I believe that we have more shootings today because we can no longer whip Johnny's ass. Parents are not in control any longer,...

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

@DenoPenno i bet! and i also bet he doesn't know that crossing the border without permission is a misdemeanor. shooting people... not so much! it has always amazed me that rape Ifor example) often has a statute of limitations of five or 10 years (depending on the state) but ice comes after people who, having committed this misdemeanor, then spent the next 30 or so years as model residents, raising families and contributing to the economy and to society. g

DenoPenno comments on Sep 23, 2018:

I never heard of rape in my high school. A lot of us boys did dream about sex though, and we shared to names of those we wanted to have it with.

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

dreaming is natural. attacking is different. g

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

i disagree with both assessments. it's not because we don't beat children anymore. it's because we let anyone have a gun any old time. g

Why in the world would ANYONE want to vote against this kind of bill.

exilesky comments on Sep 23, 2018:

Why yes, you are correct, the obvious answer is they want the world to be a place where men rule and only women bleed.

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

sad but so. g

exilesky comments on Sep 23, 2018:

I find it sad that though we have made some strides since I was a teenager, there are so many that want to drag us back to the dark ages. I fully expect that if Kavanaugh gets on the Supreme Court it will soon become legal to throw out all sexual harrassment penalties and laws and we will go back ...

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

i would not slander neanderthals that way lol g

exilesky comments on Sep 23, 2018:

I can name quite a few guys who didn't try to rape me in high school. And some that did attempt but backed down when I said no. And some that succeeded in their attempt. If you think any of them would admit to any of it publically now, you are smoking some fine weed there.

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

i wish i was smoking some fine weed and i still wouldn't think that! g

OK, here goes.

genessa comments on Sep 23, 2018:

i cannot tell you whether or not it is a good or bad pattern. i probably couldn't even if i could read what you wrote, but there is so much text speak in there.... don't get me wrong. i understand text speak. however, it slows me down to the point that i lose interest. it's not just because my ...

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

@Condor5 no problem, and thanks for the friendly response :-)) g

When is it not the woman's fault? g

Paracosm comments on Sep 23, 2018:

...and if you report it when it happens you're ruining his future but if you don't tell until later you're dredging up the past. So when?

genessa replies on Sep 23, 2018:

for women? never, it seems. g

What about the woman's past? what about the woman's future? g

Do you agree with stem cell research?

JackPedigo comments on Sep 22, 2018:

Yes and no? One, often overlooked aspect of our exponential population growth is people (like me) living longer. Keeping us alive and well takes resources away from others. often younger people. I have lived a great life and still contribute as much as I can. But, still keeping me going (especially ...
