Dear Mr. Jesus, I just had to write to you
Something really scared me, when I saw it on the news
A story 'bout a little girl beaten black and blue
Jesus, thought I'd take this right to you
Dear Mr. Jesus, I don't understand
Why they took her mom and dad away
I know that they don't mean to hit with wild and angry hands
Tell them just how big they are I pray
Please don't let them hurt your children
We need love and shelter from the storm
Please don't let them hurt your children
Won't you keep us safe and warm
Dear Mr. Jesus, they say that she may die
Oh I hope the doctors stop the pain
I know that you could save her and take her up to the sky
So she would never have to hurt again
Please don't let them hurt your children..
Dear Mr. Jesus, please tell me what to do
And please don't tell my daddy
But my mommy hits me, too.
Please don't let them hurt your children...

Janie's got a gun lyrics
Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound of my gun
Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound, it's the sound...
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah....
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her whole world's come undone
From looking straight at the sun
What did her daddy do?
What did he put you through?
They say when Janie was arrested
They found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin'
Now that Janie's got a gun
She ain't never gonna be the same
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell her now it's untrue
What did her daddy do?
He jacked the little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under
The lightnin' and the thunder
Knew that someone had to stop the rain
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
What did her daddy do
It's Janie's last I.O.U.
She had to take him down easy
And put a bullet in his brain
She said 'cause nobody believes me
The man was such a sleeze
He ain't never gonna be the same
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Everybody is on the run
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody's on the run (Honey, honey what's your problem)
'Cause Janie's got a gun (Tell me it ain't right)

While groups like Amnesty International whine about "mistreatment of Muslims", should the focus on...?
The persecution of Copts in Egypt, Maronites in Lebanon, and other Christian minorities being mistreated by Muslims?|||Sadly you are correct. Amnesty International does not seem to recognize that all people should be treated equally regardless of race or religion.|||Amnesty International DOES report on discrimination against Copts - get your facts straight!
Why are Arabs so blind to their own mistreatment of Palestinians?
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/s鈥?/a>|||Because there are traitors and self seekers in every land. We have our Clarence Thomases and Bushes, they have the Falange, and Arab soldiers fighting for Israel. Hamas are religious fanatics, and what people really want is a secular Socialist Palestine. Whatever the reservations about Hamas the Genocide in Gaza must stop. Egypt is also betraying the Palestinians. Some Arabs may be blind, but the misleaders of reactionary Islamic nations, like Egypt , Morrocco and Jordan, know perfectly well what they are doing by sucking up to Israel and the US. They don't want a revolutionary Palestinian force in their midst.|||Arabs are not blind.... You forget something about the situation in the Arab countries... the governments are on one side and the people are on the other... govs are afraid of the US.. people want to step in and do something about all what's happening in Palestine but their gov are not allowing them....
I live in Egypt... see the marches and demonstrations in the streets everyday ... see people in the mosques praying for them everyday... see the huge amounts of aids people are sending everyday......... that's all what the people have to offer..|||The Arab states find it convenient to use the Palestinian cause to bash the west and rile up their own people. However, it is clearly notable that the Arab states (and their influence and money) have essentially done nothing to create an environment where the tensions subside and both parties can focus on a somewhat peaceful coexistence
And, it appears they simply don't care.|||Arabs are tribal in nature. That's neither good nor bad, that's just who they are. There will never be a Pan-Arabic government of any consequence. That's like saying there's going to be an alliance of all the gangs in LA. Some things are just not going to happen.|||Well, many Arabs think of Palestinians as dirt. Weak dirt, seeming that their actions aren't working too well against the Israelites. Still. They prefer them to the Israelites.|||Same reson Liberal mistreat Bush. They don't claim them or him. If they would see that they too are Arabs, and if Liberals would see that Bush too is an American, both would accept.|||Palestinians are and have always been dirt to the Arabs. Open your history books.|||Because they want to blame everything on Israel! It's easier to find a scapegoat than a solution.|||They're not blind, they just think Palestinians are scum.
But they do make great tools to throw at the Jews.|||Jihad takes no prisoners, not even the guards who stand infront of the jail cell|||It's not that there blind they don't care.|||Tunnel vision.|||is called religion and their leaders to church Muslims war era they go

You missed out on numerous spiritual experiences.|||What kind of mistreatment? I was sick on the 10th.
Why do Americans do so much breast-beating about their former mistreatment of blacks ?
But never mention their far worse treatment of Native Americans?|||Excellent question.
I suggest that the reason the genocide of Native Americans is seldom addressed or felt in the breast of Americans is because the Native Americans are still held captive.
No Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
No great Native American leader.
Americans like to think of the Native Americans as a satisfied group well taken care of by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Of course, nothing could be further from the truth.|||Who? You? I don't hit my chest. You shouldn't do that. Not good for the ticker.|||Far worse? I won't judge that. But I will suggest that if this is your feeling you should get involved with a group that advocates better treatment of Native Americans. You could be the one voice that causes a change in peoples thinking.|||who knows, I find it racist and disgusting.|||Mistreatment of blacks is from recent memory and there has been no real paying of that debt.
Native Americans own part of the land within the borders of the US and the wars were a long time ago. The problem is invisible. The probelm between white and black Americans is still very visible.|||You see, it was actually the European colonials at the time that drove the native indians off their lands and enslaved the black Africans by sending ships over and kidnapping them by the thousands.
We Americans did not rid ourselves of the european curse until we abolished slavery and brought in the civil rights movement. Then we could say we are Americans.
But until then it was the barbaric europeans with their history of world conquering and colonialization that deserve that brand.
Better take a look at your own barbaric history before you throw stones. What happened to Ireland in the 1600's?
You're an idiot. maybe you're chinaman if so mind your own business and worry more about your own repressive communist regime and remember Tianamen Square|||What exactly do you mean?
Could it be it's not breast-beating but re-thinking and re-assessment. (At least I hope so.)|||There isnt a large enough native american population to make themselves heard and they dont seem to run around crying racism at every opportunity like some people do.

lmao|||Personally speaking, I'd rather be the descendent of a slave living in the good 'old USA than living in a country like Liberia. Still doesn't excuse the very notion of slavery though.
As time goes on, we realise the full extent of our past crimes. Isn't that what history is about? Learning from mistakes. Slavery has always existed and it was right that it was abolished.
And yes, I do think the Native Americans are a very sore point. As are the aborigines in Australia.|||Agent 86 clearly knows nothing of his own country's history, such as it is. It was still operating a segregation policy until way into the 20th Century - ie Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King et al.
The Americans were one of the last nations t outlaw slavery, and until then had the single largest trade turnover in the world for many many years.
The UK passed the Slave Trade Act outlawing slavery both in the UK and the Empire, as it then was, some time around 1800, and followed up with the Abolition Act in the 1830's. This is shortly after we gave you, the Americans, independence, and bloody good job too.
Even now, in America, the native people are forced to live in "Settlements" in order to continue their ways of life, while the fat, stupid Yanks just wreck up the planet with little or no regard for anyone else.
In answer to the question, however, they do this because they're a bunch of drama queens who find it hard to control themselves without having to go for "therapy".|||I am unsure what history book you're getting your information from but there has been plenty mentionings of what the Native American's faced. Also, the treatment of Native Americans was no where near as bad as the treatment of blacks. True, whole societies of Native Americans were wiped out. But far more blacks were wiped out because enslavement of black people spanned many years longer than enslavement of Native Americans. Not to mention, blacks were imported like beer.. Native Americans were already here and simply defending the right to right to live and breathe in places where they already dwelled.
I am not comparing the black plight verses the Native American's because enslavement of any people is wrong. But if you're wondering why there is more light shed on enslavement of blacks, I believe it's because the mentality towards blacks is more than negative than the mentality towards Native Americans. Blacks were called *******s but I can't say I know a nationally known derrogatory name of Native Americans. Blacks had leaders to fight for them. Native Americans may have had them but unless you learned on your own, outside of the public school system, you didn't read about any.|||I am fascinated by the fact that most Americans have no idea that it was an African who sold the first black slaves from Africa to the Portugese who in turn sold them to the Spaniards who were colonizing South America and then the Dutch picked them up from the Portugese and from the same African King, (Mafa Musa) And finally to the English settlers. Native Americans also used slavery, when one tribe captured another they would make slaves of the looser. This is a concept that has been going on for centuries. Women have always been used as slaves. It was not until "the burning bed" that men began to re-think this concept. The point is that no society is exempt from the slavery mentality. As long as there are ignorant people in the world there will be slavery. Most African Americans do not bother to take the time to explore their own hisatory. I think everyone should look at history and accumulate as much information as possible on it in order to avaid the mistakes of the past. We focus on Black slavery because they have better lobbyists in DC than the Native AMericans do.
I find it ironic that many people do not seem to notice the similarity between what happened in Lebanon and Isreal and the situation between the Native Americans and the European Americans. Palistine claimed the land for 2000 years as the European AMericans have claimed this land for 200 years. Isreal comes back and takes their land back from the people who lived there for all those years. What would happen if the Native AMericans d4ecided to take back their land that was taken from them? If it is ok for Isreal to claim their vacant for 2000 years land than surely Natives can claim what was taken from them in the last 200 right?|||Excuse me how would I know about running tribes from their lands, giving them blankets with small pox to kill them, feeding them sugar to rot their teeth, trading with not food but fire water, how about white man speak with fork tongue.

EDIT
And these Muslims keep on saying all that crap all the time.
I think it's high time that all of us - the Israelis, the Hindus and Americans started really killing the Muslims and taking away their Oil, because, hey, we are already being given a bad name and what the heck? They can't say anything worse about us. And, while we're at it, we should all get together and start kicking all the Muslims out of our Countries and send them back to the desert. After all, we've already been blamed for all that, so, let's start living up to our names.

Is prenatal drug exposure a form of child mistreatment?if so why?
10 pts for best answer|||It is a form of child abuse. It is also endangering the welfare of a child. Why, well that's obvious.....Drugs can kill the baby and they are illegal. Not to mention the hundreds of birth defects, education issues, emotional issues that kid can go through. Ever seen a crack baby going through withdrawals.......It's freaking horrible.|||No. If drug exposure continues after the mother finds out that she is pregnant, then I think it's abuse.|||Yes!
of course it is, what a stupid question.|||the parent will be taken to jail for mistreatment of a Minor and possibly they can terminate the parents rites and the kid wil be sent to a another family of relative and they can only get him/her back with finishing rehab|||I would think prenatal medicines/vitamins would help a child. I don't see how that could be mistreatment.|||I don't know the legal answer to this question. However, I do have an opinion. Whether or not you believe that life begins at conception, drug exposure to an unborn child/fetus (whichever you prefer) is abuse. The reason I think so is that this child will eventually be born and definitely considered a human being at that time. The problems that drugs can cause to a baby are awful and so easily prevented. Anyone who would hurt their baby in that way is too selfish to be a parent.|||in my opinion if the mother knew she was pregnant then yes that is severley wrong as it could harm the unborn baby and if she knew that she was, and wanted to take drugs then she should have prevented herself from having responsability over another life, however if she was unaware of the fact she was pregnant how can it be a form of child mistreatment if she never knew she was carrying a child. fingers crossed tho for the baby ????

"all men are created equal"? slavery? social hierarchy? Mistreatment of native americans?
How can Jefferson's statement that "all men are created equal" be reconciled with the reality of slavery, social hierarchy, and the mistreatment of Native Americans?|||Do you never foul up when you are trying to get it right. Quit being a blooming idiot. The founding fathers strove for a dream just short of Heaven on Earth. You are bitcching because they were men with feet of clay. They shot for the Heavens and damn sure did not shoot themselves in the foot. Instead of putting them down look at their contemporaries and be amazed we got the quality of government we have!|||It can't. That's why those problems have been corrected today. The sad part is that it did take nearly 200 years, but we did it.
No American alive today has ever owned a slave. I certainly hope that no American alive today has ever massacred or stolen land from Native Americans.
And today, all Americans are created equal, and have the same opportunities. What we don't have is a constitutionally guaranteed outcome of our lives. It is what we do with the opportunities that we have as Americans that determine the outcomes of our lives.|||That is a outstanding question.

No American alive today has ever owned a slave. I certainly hope that no American alive today has ever massacred or stolen land from Native Americans.
And today, all Americans are created equal, and have the same opportunities. What we don't have is a constitutionally guaranteed outcome of our lives. It is what we do with the opportunities that we have as Americans that determine the outcomes of our lives.|||That is a outstanding question.

"all men are created equal" ? slavery? social hierarchy? Mistreatment of Native Americans?
How can Jefferson's statement that "all men are created equal" be reconciled with the reality of slavery, social hierarchy, and the mistreatment of Native Americans?|||Jefferson was one of the richest and brightest slave owners in America. He was an elite. When he wrote the constitution he purposely wrote it in a way that people can own slaves. ITS IN THE 1ST AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION!
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Key word "Congress" but the "States" could. ha see there's where the wordplay comes in. Post civil war changed all of that. Lesser states right and more Federal rights.|||When Jefferson said that, it meant all White Protestant heterosexual men who are landowners are created equal. 200+ years later, we have evolved. We are getting closer to the ideal of equality.|||Someone isn't doing their own homework!|||they never did say they were gonna enforce anything to back up that theory, the world is a hypocrite, one day the world will be at piece, and everyone will truly, be equal!|||It can't. But bear in mind that this statement was (and is) a general social, moral, and ethical principle. The instances you cite are specific violations of that principle.
They were (and are) lamentable, but they do not interfere with the message itself.
Violation of a principle does not negate the validity of the principle itself. Wrongdoing does not disprove the principles of rightness.
Injustice does not invalidate the principles of justice.|||Not only will the world never be at peace it will be its or simply humanity's end. Anything can trigger hatred. To many people, no jobs, people that don't speak your language, shortage of recourse's in the near future. Things will only get worse.

Mistreatment at work... what should I do?
I was hired (legally) abroad, six months ago, to work for this organization, as a highly qualified person. Before coming, my supervisor asked if I was coming alone, "we have nothing against families, you know, but we want full commitment". The big boss told me: "X will remain the brain of the programme, not because you do not have brain, but, well, you know what I mean". Anyways, I decided to come. The first two months I had to deal with comments about how little professional are people from where I come from. I have been called "animal" and "liar". I have been attacked because of my faith. And I have a co-worker that keeps doing sexists jokes, and he gets paid more for the same salary (I am a woman). My supervisor makes comments about how I should carry my personal life (including my sexual one, which I never discuss!).
Is this the normal way to treat people in the American workplace? Is there something I can do, before just quitting and going back to my place where I am respected?|||No that's not normally how people are treated in the work place. That is sexual harassment. Go talk to a lawyer if you would like to pursue this further.|||No that is not normal at all. At my job we use a chain of command and I have been in your shoes before. You need to find out who it is you report this kind of abuse to. they will be investigated and eventually fired.

Will White people pay for all the mistreatment they have shown toward African-Americans through the years?
They are already doing that. It's called the dole. A free of charge handout of taxpayer's money to people who quite often are too lazy to find a job.|||According to the Holy Bible, as a Christian, I believe that no matter who did the wrong to who, If who ever does not obey the Gospel, They will not make heaven their home, but they will make another place called hell their home. It is my firm belief, that What so ever a person plants today, they will reap as a harvest at their harvest time. Good or Evil. I do not believe any one who plants good will harvest evil, nor do I believe that anyone who plants evil will harvest good. A small seed will produce a large amount of itself after it is planted. That is not to say that evil will not befall good folk, nor that evil folk will not experience good in their life, because both will happen, but the only harvest each will receive is dependant on what they planted. You will never eat peas if you planted only corn.
I also believe, even if you obey the Gospel, you will still reap the harvest of things you planted. You cannot un do a thing you did, nor can you un say a word that you spoke out, nor can you un think a thought you pondered for a while. Not all white people mistreated black folk, nor have all black people mistreated white folk. Not everyone is evil, however not everyone is Holy and Pure. No evil person will get by with their evil lives without paying the price for their sins, and Holy folk will be rewarded for their holy life. I hope my beliefs of how I see it helps you out. I am praying for all folk.|||I don't see why individuals in the present time should be responsible for the way people with the same skin color treated others in the past. It makes me sad and disappointed, but I myself don't feel guilty about it, because I played no part in it. I'd like to think that whatever time period I was born in, I would still not discriminate based on race, (or any other factor out of the persons' control) and would treat everyone with respect. As I try to do now.|||no, and why should they? how does throwing money at a problem solve it?
also, why should people today have to pay for something their ancestors did to someone elses ancestors?|||*Rolls eyes*
No, because white people today have had nothing to do with the mistreatment of blacks in the slavery times.|||Will ******* pay back all the tax dollars they've put into rims?|||No. Because that, my friend, would be returning to square 1.|||Not a chance in hell.|||lol u mad, bro?

How did slaves fight against mistreatment in the U.S?
In which ways were they mistreated?
PLZ explain with many details!!
Thanks!|||The ways in which they were mistreated:
-Flogged/whipped/beaten/attacked/shot by their masters, sometimes for a reason e.g. the slaves weren't productive enough (but that's no excuse for hurting them) but sometimes not for a reason.
-Raped/used as prostitutes/used as mistresses in exceptional cases
-Slaves weren't entitled to a wage, couldn't walk in certain areas of their town/city, had limited education opportunities, could only marry another slave on the master's say-so, were in many cases chained at night, and couldn't watch movies, but then again no-one could.
Ways in which slaves responded:
-Aaaaarrrgh! (didn't usually end well)
-Earned the respect and trust of their masters through increasing productive efficiency when working, took on more wide-ranging roles other than just tending the fields e.g. becoming butlers, gun-bearers, blacksmiths etc.,
-Appealing to well-known politicians who advocated the banning of the slavery.
-Fighting for the North in the Civil War
-Developing the jazz music genre to please their masters and make everyone feel better
Hope that helps :)

Know any songs about cruelty, hate, mistreatment, etc?
I'm doing an English project where I have to make a CD to describe a book. The book I chose to do the project on is a book about slavery in the United States in the 18th century. I'm looking for modern music with lyrics that have to do with cruelty, hate, and horrible mistreatment. All the music I listen to is way too happy.
Please recommend me songs about mistreatment. A large part of the book had to do with rape and beatings, to be more specific. My only preference is that I'd prefer the songs not to be rap or heavy metal.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!|||TRY 'creep' and 'Karma Police' By radiohead

Why are some Israelis satisfied with the extreme mistreatment of the Palestinians?

Do you think Prisoners/Inmates should be allowed to get compensation or sue for mistreatment and hurt feelings?
Absolutely NOT. In the old days ( pre-1970's), when a person was convicted of a felony crime and sent to prison, they were kicked off the face of the planet. They had NO rights, few amenities worked in prison factories or chain gangs. It forced rehabilitation due to a difficult and harsh life inside the wire. Regardless of what happened, they had NO rights whatsoever. The legal system had what was then known as a "hands off" view. What happened in prison stayed in prison. Recidivism was 15% and crime was lower.
Slightly different today with recidivism at 84%, inmates sitting around all day doing nothing and force feeding unwanted rehabilitation to persons who will NOT accept what they are being "taught".
In answer to your question, no, prisoners should have no rights until they are released outside the wire and are free persons again. In my personal opinion, if anyone should be allowed to get compensation for "hurt feelings", it should be the victims of crime. Somewhere along the line of being liberal and considerate and our current "Hug a Thug" philosophy, we have completely forgotten and ignored what the victims of crime have gone through and their family members as well.
PS....I have NO idea of where any TRUE supportive facts might be found, but 20% of all prisoners actually being innocent is BULL. Our legal system would be in a tailspin with just a fraction of that number. Just another bleeding heart liberal crying over the rights of convicted felons who he would not have living in his neighborhood to begin with.
I hope this helps and you can find it useful

As for "mistreatment", you're going to have to define that.
Prisons is not supposed to be a place where criminals get to just "hang out" for a few years. It is PUNISHMENT. Do not be taken in by the "Department of Corrections" labels either. There is NO CORRECTION involved! It's 100% PUNISHMENT.|||No Way. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Prison is a PUNISHMENT and the ones who go there deserve to be there.|||People are in prison AS punishment, not FOR punishment, and the prison system and all of its functionaries have a duty of care to protect inmates from harm. Failure to do so carries the same liability as the outside world, and rightly so.
Consider also, once again, the following - around 18% of prisoners are most likely 'wrongfully convicted'. That's nearly 20%, so it is a very serious figure, and one which dictates that proper protection is due to all prisoners. See link.|||Anyone can sue anyone else so this question is moot.

That does not mean that they will win.|||Prisoners are notorious for filing frivolous lawsuits over everything from wrinkled prison shirts to the size of the slice of pie they got for dinner.

Mistreatment of Developmental disabled?

I heard about one primative forest Indian tribe that kills their tribal babies that have Disabilities due to primative tribal beliefs.

I need Loads Of Information About women in the Middle Ages. Moreso On the mistreatment?
One has to consider the fact that in those times it may have been acceptable to stone or like punishment inflicted on women. Times have changed. Just what mistreatment are you alluding to in reference to Middle Age times?|||of course you do|||Well, look it up then. Nobody will ever just hand you anything in life.|||1500's- Baths equaled a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don鈥檛 throw the baby out with the bath water".
|||Women's lives would vary greatly depending on their station in life. Girls of the upper classes were often sent away to be raised in other noble households (as were boys). They would learn to read and write, to ride and hawk, accomplishments like singing and dancing, and the complex business of running a household. Among the upper classes, marriages were often arranged, and girls and boys might be married off quite young, sometime sin their early teens. Most parents would take their children's feelings into consideration when choosing a marriage partner, and the church was opposed to forced marriage,s but pressure could be put on a child who refused their parents choice, as happened with the daughter of Margaret Paston, for example. In the Paston letters Margaret writes about beating her daughter because she was refusing to marry the man Margaret wanted her to.
Among the middle classes, the daughters of merchants etc would usually be taught at home. They would probably learn to read and write, and there were elementary schools in town which taught both boys and girls, sometimes women teachers were employed in some schools. among the common people, the age of marriage was often later, in the early to mid twenties, as young people often worked to establish themselves before marriage.
Girls might work as servants, or they could be apprenticed to various trades. The textile trade employed large numbers of women, spinning was an occupation nearly always done by women (hence the word 'spinster' still in common usage in the 20th century to describe an unmarried woman). Women who were married to merchants or craftsmen or tradesmen were very often involved in the family business, whatever it might be, and some married women were in trade on their own account. A woman who was in business independent of her husband was known as a femme saule. Widows often took over the running of the family business after their husband died. Brewing was a trade often engaged in by women, every village had two or three alehouses which would normally be run by a woman, often a widow. Women could engage in all sorts of other trades, though fewer girls were apprenticed to trades than boys were.
Whatever her station in life, a married woman would be responsible for the running of her household. She would be expected to see to it that there was enough food and clothing for everyone in the house. She would spend a good deal of time spinning wool or flax into thread, and perhaps weaving it into cloth (though many women spun thread and sold it on to professional weavers). She would be responsible for the preparation and preserving of food (very important to preserve enough food for winter, when fresh food was in short supply). She would be in charge of the poultry and the dairy, and make her own butter and cheese. She would brew ale, make her own medicines for home use, and make other household items like soap and candles.
A woman who had a large household to preside over would also be responsible for the welfare of her servants. If her husband had an estate, she would be responsible for running it while he was away. She would be expected to doctor any one who fell sick, tend wounds and even set broken bones. And she would be expected to dispense alms to the poor in addition to her other duties.
Women of all stations were expected to be obedient to their husbands, and a husband was considered to have authority over his wife. And it was considered permissable for him to beat her, as he could also beat his children and servants. But a man was expected to exercise authority wisely and not abuse his position.
The 'timeline' link sent to you above contains highly inaccurage and misleading information. People in the 1500s who had baths certainly used them more than once a year. And even if they did not have a bath, people still washed themselves. And they were very particular about having clean linen (the garment worn next to the skin would be made of linen). Linen was washed frequently. Nor did most people live in the squalid conditions described in the link. The article is mostly fantasy, I doubt the person who wrote it has ever actually bothered to do any real research into the period.

Is the cause for mistreatment of Christians their theology or the actions of Christians?
While persecution of Christians does not happen on the scale some people claim, it is true that Christians are sometimes attacked for being Christian. It's difficult to discuss this because *some* Christians consider being called out for bad behavior or being told no an attack. For the confines of the question, lets ignore those unreasonable "everyone hates me" types.
While attacking anyone is abhorrent, what generates the lion's share of attacks upon Christians- behavior (either of the Christian being attacked or of other Christians) or their theology itself(being attacked for being "righteous")?
If it is the behavior, who is responsible for calling the Christians out on it, other Christians, non-Christians or just the Christian's community?|||The majority of bad opinions I have about modern Christianity is directed toward bad behavior. Many people use their beliefs and their theology as justification for unacceptable behavior. For example, evangelical fundamentalists feel justified in my town at standing on the corners with bullhorns, screaming at traffic as they drive by. Where I live, they feel justified at ignoring "No Soliciting" signs to come by and proselytize you at your home even after you have already declined. The justification is that they are doing the world of the Lord. The usual citation is from Peter in the Book of Acts: "We ought to obey God rather than men." Behavior is the cause of my criticism of fundamentalist evangelicals, but theology provides the scaffolding that the bad behavior hangs on.
While fundamentalist evangelicals often claim that they are persecuted for their beliefs, the majority of what I have seen has simply been a refusal of society to tolerate behavior that is militant, aggressive, and often hateful.
We as society have every right to call out bad behavior. To say that non-Christians have no business calling out the bad behavior of Christians is like saying that non-murderers have no right to call out the bad behavior of murderers, or that shareholders have no right to call an executive to task for bad business decisions. There is no secret code, qualification, or ethic that puts the behavior of fundamentalist evangelicals, or anyone else for that matter, above the scrutiny of society. This is especially true of western society, where there is supposed to be a measure of openness and egalitarianism.
Certainly, calling out bad behavior of Christians would be more meaningful if other Christians did it, but we are all accountable to each other because we are all part of the same society.|||Beliefs don't really bother me. Actions, however, do.
And other Christians are quick to play the No True Scotsman game, but not very good at actually talking to their community members about the problems they create|||It's usually theology, because it's rare to have the chance to call someone out whom you know is behaving badly. That sort of thing usually isn't disclosed.|||behavior, not belief|||I think it's most likely a combination of both. It's not an either/or type of question, because they behave they way they do because it's according to their beliefs. For every passage that says "love thy neighbor" I can find 5 that tell you to stone him to death.|||It is their actions. They are constantly attacking and criticizing other people for not being "Christian." It is only natural that others will resent this and occasionally fight back.|||It's hard to say, since I've never actually seen a hate-crime type attack on a Christian. But I would suspect it might be half an half, since our own experiences on R%26amp;S tell us that
1- there are both wonderful and horrible Christians out there
and
2- Bigotry, ignorance and fear can come from people of any background.|||While I wouldn't call it persecution there is a lot of hatred towards Christians.
Most people seem to resent Christianity due to the actions of prominent 'Christians' like Fred Phelps etc.|||Jews seem to have been attacked worse than Christians. There are so many Christians and I do not see much attacking of Christians today. The middle east seems to have more issues with attacking eachother and they are not Christians.
Attacking seems to be more location based than behavior or theology based.|||It's a 'chicken or the egg' question. Regardless of who started it, Christians keep complaining about everyone else and everyone else keeps complaining about Christians. If either group was serious about stopping the hate, they would learn to turn the other cheek and quit getting into each others' businesses.|||They attack each other over piddly differences in theology...notice the thousands of different denominations that believe 98% identically, but identify themselves by that 2% that is different.
They are "attacked" by outsiders because of the actions of a vocal few, who make them all look hateful, ignorant, or overly self-righteous.
Otherwise, Christians in America are NOT persecuted. It does happen in other places, but if you are living in America, you have it pretty good.|||It really has to do with behavior. Most of the "attacks" on Christians are retalliatory in nature, i.e. a non-Christian is told that they must do something to appease the religious beliefs of Christians, the non-Christian says "Heck no, get outta here with that nonsense." The Christians takes the actions it deems necessary to ensure compliance with their beliefs, the non-Christian takes the measures deemed necessary to ensure they are NOT forced to comply. This works both ways, where the majority usually tries to ensure compliance with whatever the common belief is, and those that don't hold those beliefs must either fake it to avoid confrontation, or they confront their attackers head on. Beliefs drive actions, but actions cause re-actions, so it isn't their beliefs they're being "attacked" for, it's what they do with those beliefs that causes the problems.|||Its the actions of the Christians that are the problem. It has to be the nonChristians that are responsible for calling the Christians out on it because the Christians think they're doing the right thing. They don't think they're doing anything wrong. But someone has to say it or the behavior continues.|||"Christians are supposed to by the standards set forth by
Jesus CHRIST himself, consider it to be a PURE JOY to

Our culture wants to pretend it's immortal, no matter what.|||OK - you'll have to excuse my total ignorance, but are we talking about ACTUAL attacks on Christians or say, verbal attacks like on Y/A?
If it's actual attacks out there in the world - I don't know of any so I can't speak to them.

Grow up and get a life buddy.|||I'm pretty sure you can't sue them, and the 'distress' aspect would be rejected in court nearly immediately. Infact, I'm pretty sure the whole case would be rejected. What you should do is evaluate what you did to cause banning and become satisfied with the result, then get over it. In the long run it's just a video game and they're probably doing some good getting you to stop playing it.
If you're eager to get into the game and start playing, contact the game and express your belief that you were mistreated and falsely banned. If that "DM" has been accused of such things in the past they will almost certainly look into it, and if they find that you were indeed maltreated then they'll most likely apologize and reinstate your account.|||Dont expect to run with the wolves if you cant piddle with the puppies.|||the real question here is wth happened that you would be so "hurt" that you would consider suing someone you have never met IRL. Suing for things other than physical damages is for pusses IMO.|||Without any economic or physical damages, you're going to have a hard time winning any suit. It's not impossible to win and collect, but it's very unlikely.
You'd also have to show somehow that the GM's behavior was completely out of bounds.
You're probably better off to write it off as a learning experience and move on.

An old movie I saw on TV: wayward boys in a reformatory of sorts, where one of them dies from mistreatment.?
I saw this back in late 50s or early 60s. It was deeply moving and tragic. I thought it was called "Hell's Kitchen" but apparently not--but maybe something like that. Anyone remember it? Thanks.|||It sounds like Boys Town.|||boys reformatory
What can you say about:: bull-fighting in Spain, one-child policy in China and mistreatment/killing of monks??
in Myanmar. Objective and positive comments get best answer, fast!|||To each his own ........ so they say. Bull fighting in Spain has been their tradition for ages. One child policy in China is in place for decades and now the world hears about the killing of monks in Myanmar.
As the internet world evolves and makes the world virtually small, everyone is now in our neighborhood. Fifty years ago, who cares if China adopts a one child policy, who cares if the monks are mistreated in Myanmar? But today, is completely different generation! The world seems to be affected by anything and everything.
9/11 changed the way people think. The fall of mighty economy seems to affect all other economies of the world. And so now we care about Bull Fighting in Spain, one child policy in China and the mistreatment of monks in Myanmar because everything seems to be in our reach. We are all villagers in one place called earth.

Speculate as to reasons for the mistreatment of native americans african americans and german and irish?
Fear of the unknown, fear of being replaced and a widespread ignorance that persists throughout mankind
Having made a necessary complaint to one doctor, have you experienced mistreatment at the hands of other drs?
Do you suspect a negative grapevine|||Doctors often stick together when it comes to patient grievances especially if they're professionally "friends." Best to try a few at various location without any mention of your previous experience with a doctor who mistreated you. In the end, if the mistreatment was bad enough, you can report him/her to the American Medical Association.|||I've had that experience before and mine was a gyno and she misdiagonised me and I think I found the right one, four doctors later.|||I haven't but an elderly person once told me how she was malpracticed on. See, one doctor would set her arm wrong after a fracture and the next one would want to reset it, and so on. She finally decided to see a doctor outside the area, and that doctor went to the board. There was a buddy system going on, where there was a ring of doctors doing malpractice, and each would pay the others for the setups, I mean, referrals.
Senate apologizes to Native Americans for historic mistreatment. Your thoughts?
Please be mature in your response thanks.|||I am of Native American descent and I do not accept for this reason. There are many things that have been done to my people that have the Gov. has tried to hide and mislead others' about, and they will not own up to it. I believe if an apology is sincere, you would come out with the entire thing. Millions of my ancestors' were beheaded all in the name of American science. Not many people know of this. And if they are truly sorry, may we please have our land back, and the credit for discovering it? Peach, go get a life!! You sound so "well protected", what is your ethnicity?|||Too little too late? Unfortunately, the oppressors and those most severely affected are long dead. Still, it is nice that it was acknowledged.|||I don't disagree that Native Americans were mistreated. I wonder if this will be a precursor to more reparations. Really, I wonder if that's what they need. They already draw a paycheck from the government. How about people take personal responsibility for their problems?|||Some things in our history are unfortunate, thats life. If an apology helps some people cope, then why not, otherwise its a waste of time and effort to apologize for things that occurred before any of us even existed, things that nobody alive today was responsible for.|||Being part Native American, your apology is a little too late. The people who were first on this land, have long since passed and were the one's who truly needed to hear it. Your apology back then would have stopped the self-destruction of people because they lost everything because of the whack dealings with the US. Native American got blankets with diseases, alcohol, fat. No Native American should be like this we are Warriors! And with today's generation all that is lost. And Yes, the apology may not be sincere but an act due to some political agenda, but it's news that just a bit too late. The Senate and other US politicians honor the Japanese, Chinese, the Jews with apologies and money but still you screw Mexicans, Latins and you still haven't apologized nor paid for the acts of today and for what your bloody ancestors did against slavery, racism, segregation, the list could go on for days, to BLACKS! When is this going to happen? I think the Senate would apologize to every other race before blacks. See racism is still a live, well and running this country. Remember Katrina and black people wrongfully convicted of crimes.|||Stop the apologies already. It isn't like WE did it yesterday. The natives in my state seem to be doing pretty darn well with their gaming.And they don't have to pay taxes because they are a nation.|||The mistreatment went well on into the late '70s. Women being secretly sterilized, strip mining uranium on reservations, the Child Welfare League of America taking kids from their homes and on and on.
It didn't end in the 1800s.
Do some research on more recent atrocities.
And the majority of tribes do not have casinos.|||I think it's a little late.........|||Native Americans get womb-to-tomb health care free.
Scholarships go begging because few people want them.
Very cheap housing is often available.
Commodities are available.
If they live on the reservation, they do not pay income tax.
Is the Senate going to apologize to the Irish because of the ill treatment given to them when they first came here in the 1800s?
Don't try holding your breath.|||I love the indians and think we really screwed them but we need to stop looking at the past and move forward. to many people live in the past and use it as a excuse for why they should get something for nothing.|||I honestly don't think that that's enough. Their culture was devastated and stripped away from them. A lot of people will say that that's in the past but look how it's affected the present. Native Americans aren't represented in politics, the media, etc.|||In Australia we have just gone through a similar process and it has already started to create lawsuits by some indigenous Australians (who by the way were never the direct sufferers of any of the "atrocities", just their distant relatives) which in turn will create an even wider wedge between the two populations (Indig and non indig) as it is already being labelled as opportunistic and dishonest ... No one who apologised had anything directly to do with what ever happened many years ago and I don't think an apology should have been made...|||a sign of good faith, but too little too late. Besides, the people that did the mistreating are all dead.|||It's better than nothing. How can you say, 'gee, so sorry about that whole genocide thing. What were we thinking?' It's better than nothing.|||i think its a good thing that the senate apologized becuz they should have never dissed the native americans anyway|||not only is it a little late it is just words the apology shoould have been made along time ago really there should have been no need for the apology the attempted genocide should never had happened tribes should never have been treated with such disrespect and should never have been forced to live on lands set aside for them when it was there home lands ! i wouldnt go in someones house and tell them where they have permission to be i think its all hogwash i take no joy in an apology so empty|||i think that they deserve more than an apology but it's a start and they also need to publicly apologize to African Americans for slavery. at least the president could call a press conference on Martin Luther king Jr. day and say sorry. just a simple sorry and acknowledge that they should not have done that. that would be great.
tengo how could you say that they weren't mistreated? you really need to brush up on your history a little. no amount of money can repay them for the amount of lives that were lost and the way they were spit on by the people who came to THEIR land and took it from them. if you were treated like that don't you think your and your children and the generations there after deserve an apology for their culture being stomped on?|||The parallels in regard to the treatment dished out to Indigenous Australians and Americans are too many to list here, but racist policies directed at both communities existed well into the 70's and in some instances well into the present. Those of us who felt the sting of these policies aren't going to wake up one morning and find those memories and experiences will have miraculously dissapeared. Many individuals who were responsible for these policies are still alive and still have influence in certain political circles. Those of us Indigenous people who lived under these policies remember very clearly.
Acknowledgement of the past can only help the future...|||How many times have they done that? Did they not get it right every other time? We already know the answer to that. That's a cloud hovering over our heads, and I think the reason for the majority of problems we face as a nation. We are paying for the sins of those who came before us, because we are so arrogant and spoiled, and so used to getting what we want, and for the rest of the world looking to us in an "innovative" way. For all the "good" we do, we always have bad. For all the progress we have made, we still have age old problems. Overcrowding in prisons, escalated violence, and even random violence, drug use, homeless, poverty, etc... We won't have peace until we atone for the sins we carry, and still carry on.

Did racist white ppl ever thought about black ppl's feelings bout their mistreatment ?
I doubt they care. Racists are scum and emotionless creatures. They're cowards and within their tiny meaningless existences they would like to believe every thing they say has an effect. I hate to say this but maybe they have recessive genes for a reason. God might have wanted to wipe out his mistakes. I don't hate all white people, no I don't, but if I had the option of watching all racist whites burn. I would light the match.|||I'm a racist white person, however neither me nor my ancestors have mistreated any blacks. Mostly because we don't have many in my country but I am nice and friendly to the ones who are here - they are certainly more preferable to our majority immigrant group that is attempting to overthrow our culture. I think the problem is when you get too many of one particular minority group they want to make everything their way and they try to act like victims when they don't get it. I think that's why people in the USA complain more about blacks and people over here complain more about Muslims/Arabs.|||it would help if you were grammatically correct when you asked your question.
The answer is no, and simply b.c hate is illogical when it comes to racism.|||Nope I guess not but it all doesn't matter if there racist there racist as somebody said God will have the last say
@Loose Marbles: I have a question for you. Where do you get your weed from? mines not strong enough, eh|||LOL black people dont have feelings.
no, im kidding.
well, im sure they did, but obviosly a racist person, who dislikes blacks, would not care about hurting a black persons feelings...|||trailortrash people have no emotions|||White people are dying off so idc|||You are a human. Think about that for a minute.|||I'm white and I feel bad for black people. Us white people is just cruel. God loves u|||No but in the end GOD will have the last say.|||No, i don't think so|||We don't need people feeling sorry for us!|||not really because black people evolved from dirt and trees, white people evolved from air and water.|||Black people have feelings...?

Are you glad there is no more mistreatment of the elephant?
yeah, me and my elephant buddies are so glad!!! They forced us to paint, play soccer, ride into wars, and even wait on tables!!! thank god for the elephant revolution! now we'll see who has to play soccer! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!|||wow! i didn't think there ever were mistreatment to elephants thanks for teaching me something :^) ( oh! and yes i am very happy for the elephants yay!!!!!)|||Why do elephants paint their toenails in all different colors?
So they can hide in the M%26amp;M jar.
Ever see an elephant in the M%26amp;M jar?
Works pretty good, doesn't it?
How do you shoot a blue elephant?
With a blue elephant gun.
How do you shoot a green elephant?
Hold his nose until he turns blue, then shoot him with a blue elephant gun.
So the circus is in town. Bragging that they have the strongest elephant in the world. Nobody can make the elephant shake his head NO. People are tying ropes to the elephant's head and pulling on both sides trying to make him shake his head.
Some drunk declares, "I can make that elephant shake his head NO," and he proceeds to pick up a couple bricks. He walks up behind the elephant and slams the two bricks together right on the elephant's 'nads. When the elephant lands back on earth, the drunk walks around to show him the bricks and asks, "Want me to do it again?"
Now it's next year, the circus is back in town, only this time, their claim is that nobody can make the elephant nod his head YES. Out comes the same drunk and says, "I can make that elephant nod his head YES." And proceed to pick up two bricks.
The drunk simply walks around to face the elephant, shows him the bricks and asks, "Remember me?"|||i dont know iv'e-ory got to go
