I type special just for you to have something to use back. Have you not figured that out yet my myopic old man?
I say again keep your cane high !
There has been significant pressure from various quarters, including political figures like and , for a into the **** gangs scandal. This involves organized groups primarily of , but there's an acknowledgment that such crimes cross ethnic boundaries. The demand for inquiry stems from historical cases in towns like , , and where thousands of children were ***ually exploited over decades with little initial action from authorities due to fears of or .
Elderly abuse is one of my concerns!

Highly recommended if you have never read it.
Cultural relativism be damned ... I do not have to have a positive thing to say about Spain and Mexico regarding this horrid tradition...But from the culture I come from? I was raised by a Je wish dad who lied about his age so he could fight in the Marines (he was 16), proved his worth to his brothers, many of whom were fighting the Japanese because of German family, or sympathy, watched his best friend from the Bronx get his head peeled from a sniper, and at about 135 boxed, by his own admission he was not very good, and did many incredible things...Things like risk his life to help a he man Marine overcome a fear of heights, my dad literally walked him down holding him up... He was a radioman, one of the first the japanese wanted to eliminate... My dad never was machismo in any way, no one would have known his background unless one looked at his face, permanently scared from Malaria from the jungle.
I raised my boys in a similar fashion, fought my own battles growing up a minority in a real hood... And I say all this to say: "Imagine what I see when I see men who measure their pluck bullfighting?" Pathetic to me lol and I just tend to associate Hemingway with this lost generation... sitting on bar stools and looking for a way to prove oneself...
Lol anomalocaris none of this is directed to you lol!Please pardon my rant.
