A Case for Modesty

Second, I don't make claims of never watching TV, so your incredulity is wasted.

Third, you must not have seen the video footage of this young lady or your sensibilities have been dulled. She was dressed very scantily exposing more than just knees and elbows.

Fourth, if you follow my posts at all, I am no off the edge right winger, but I am still believe in modesty and decorum. I would never allow my daughter to dress the way this young lady was attired under any circumstances.

Let me again make myself clear for the dull of understanding: THIS YOUNG LADY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN KILLED! IT WAS AN EVIL, WICKED AND DISGUSTING ACT! THE MURDERER DESERVES 100% OF THE BLAME! I believe this animal would have killed regardless of who it was. I was just curious to know if he selected her b/c he was drawn to her sensual dress. I would not be surprised if he was.

It made me think about the value of modesty and its importance beyond just pleasing the Lord. If I were her parents I would have to battle thoughts of "would this man have left my daughter alone had she be dressed more appropriately?"

Stop trying to make it sound like I am saying something that I am not.

It's all kewl my post was TIC - a taste of the retribution that was sure to come after you intial post.

Bro, you make my case for balance. Whereas NO ONE who even remotely knows me would ever paint me into an UC persona, I can have someone to the left of me accusing me of being off the charts conservative simply b/c I raise IMO some valid questions about modesty or the lack thereof and the potential influneces this may or may not have had in thsi particular case.

Relax. Breathe. There is more than one way of looking at something. Its a great revelation. The sooner you embrace this, the more peaceful life can be.

Where the problem comes in, is were one say if, if she didn't do or wore that or this. When this should not be the issues, no one has the right to do what this person did, no excuse should be made, he should be held fully accountable to the law for his actions.

Ah-so kemosabi. Forgive me for the defensiveness.

Funny me, I thought to myself, "Self, you know if you don't word this correctly, someone will accuse you of blaming the victim for her murder. So, self, your gonna have to state it very PLAINLY that you don't think this to be so." And so I thought I would make that clear. And then..........................

DB, The reason you will always get the flak on this question you bring up is that people see about a million other posts and threads hanging on the question. They are not reading what you posted. They are reading, dresses and burkas - or bikinis and nudity... LOL!

No ... I'm reading ... something quite different ... I see a perpetuation of a systematic mindset that teaches us 4 +4 =10 .... it's not DB, I'm hunting ... but a mode of thinking ....
