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.
