Fuck if there are any jobs for feminist organisations, this shit is one of those areas. Same goes for refuges too.

Exactly.
Do you see what I see here?
It's as if they are saying:
"Oh, rape isn't a real, important crime,so we'll let these poorly-trained people deal with it, because it's not like your assault really matters, not like a burglary or something."

I'm done for the day, but I have all day Monday to work on it. I expect to get through to part 34.
Then everything goes kinda nuts1, and I'm going to do a chapter a day for 3 days, then do the final 3 all at once.
1 Yeah, so far I've been kind of holding back.
(Also, Pastor Warner Has a Bad Day)
This all sounds VERY promising!6

Because they could be the kids I was overseeing last year?

« Last post by hylierandom, A.D.D. on Today at 01:05:49 am »OK, I'll bite.
If you don't have kids now, bit think you will some day, or if you did have them, would you smoke marijuana in the same room as them?
If you answer no, please explain why.
I would not get stoned around my hypothetical child.
But I wouldn't get drunk around a child.
Or use psychedelics.
Or scream invective at other drivers.
Or drive 100 miles an hour.
Or have someone chain me up and put bruises and/or whip marks all over my ass.
The above behaviors, as an adult, are things I enjoy doing.
I don't think it's good parenting to have my (currently nonexistent) child witness me doing any of the above.
...I want to legalize it and not throw anyone in prison. Treat it like alcohol. I consider some increased usage among children to be an acceptable trade off for no people in prison for it. Opposite of your priorities.
Right...though I'd add something:
I would like treatment to be available for those who need help to quit substances, and from what I can see, it's in woefully short supply.
Therefore I'd rather the funding we do have be used to treat addicts, not lock them up.
Yes, but you don't have kids, so you are speaking from a position of inexperience....I don't have kids.
I do have a brother who is 10 years younger, and was a stoner from age 15 to about 27.
...He's in the process of getting his Automotive Service Excellence certs.
He is currently making more money than myself.

« Last post by Pixie on Today at 12:03:41 am »GS4's security arm, as employed by the Home Office for the purpose of expelling illegal immigrants, also has a bad reputation in the business for racism. Oh, and people dying in their care. That too.
I can just imagine the number of men with histories of sexual violence they'd probably put on the payroll at a contact centre.
