Offended by the World

Look around - - - all those people that you see dressing that way AREN'T hookers.

And, I'm pretty sure Baron and his family dress modest - - nothing like you are accusing him of be okay with - so the assassination goes both ways.

You are correct...i may have went some what over the line in the way i phrased that when I said that maybe he would think I should dress my daughters that way to be relevant....however he proceeded to de facto accuse me of having inordinate thoughts toward my children....a lot of difference

Okaaay...I will publicly apologize to Baron...I certainly did not mean that he or his dress that way, nor that he wished that my daughters would do so.
Sorry that it sounded that way...certainly did not mean offense by it....just making a point.

I didn't read it that way, but if that's the way you took it, understood.

I think his point was - - it's just bizzare to say what you did, so I'm going to be bizzare back to you. And, honestly, it is a little bizzare and "old school" to term anyone that doesn't look like you as street walkers.

I dont term anyone that doesnt look like me or mine as streetwalkers....in fact there are a lot of folks who dress in ways I may feel are not exactly right that are modest and appropriate...at least culturally..but the point that I was trying to make is that you dont have to look like the (extremes) of the world to reach the extreme sinner.

Cool - - deadeye! Thanks for that.

I work close to our airport and there are actual street walkers around when we got out for lunch. Maybe some day I'll take a picture of one. I assure you just because I left UPC, I look NOTHING like they do.

And you know what - - when I do see them, my heart breaks because I know they feel like that's all they can do and how hopeless of a life could that be. I'd venture to say no little girl says when I grow up I'm going to be a hooker. They've made some bad choices and get into a life that is hard to get out of.......we should reach out to them and let them know there's a God that loves them.

Sorry - - that's not the subject here, but it made me think of the little girl (maybe 15) I saw a couple days ago - - the sadness and emptiness in her eyes.

And I would agree.

There are some that would like to portray prostitution as a"victimless" crime....that is a bunch of bologna...when you see those kids you know who the victims are.

And this is absolutely true.

I am less offended by the world, than the attitudes of some Christians.
