The guide indicated that children, particularly young boys, made "derogatory remarks to staff of color" since they were taken from the ranch.

If these boys run afoul of the law, I hope they do not make derogatory remarks to their fellow inmates of color.

Well I'm glad to hear that these children who were just this week, ‘ripped’ from their ‘parents’ in complete ‘terror’ and thrown into a ‘culture’ that is not ‘wholesome’ and ‘sweet’ feel comfortable enough to hurl racial epitaphs at the people of color in Texas. It sounds like at least the shelter workers made them “feel at home.”

Of course, after commenting on every news blip this week regarding the flds case, Rod Parker knows nothing about this. However, he does know it “culturally insensitive.”

This isn't a “culture.” It's a sexual cult. With very bad manners to boot. Maybe it time to stop validating their delusions.

"Poofers" is a slang term for girls who suddenly disappear in order to take part in an arranged marriage.

Well, they won't need that one as long as they're in Texas.

Their defenders and apologists will be along shortly, nothing slows them down.

I just see a bunch of intolerant people gleefully tearing up a once-intact community. The result of this utter destruction of the Christian Mormon community cannot be good, IMO. As a result I believe that we will see a high proportion of culturally-shocked children becoming alchoholics, drug abusers, and methylphenidate drugged disturbed dysfunctional adults.

Another socialist idea going awry. All the king’s morons and all the king’s dregs for breakfast that morning had scrambled eggs.

These children can’t help it if they are right brained and object oriented, making them more culturally insensitive or prone to derogatory remarks than the more enlightened left brained, people oriented person of color would make.

This issue has thoroughly polarized the Freeper community. Attempting to carve out rational territory is impossible. Spewing venom at the other side is the only acceptable position.
I gave up on another thread after repeated attempts to inject rational discourse. The haters are out is full battle dress for this one. This is war.

One day her children told her, "If you had as much as a drop of Jewish blood in you, you couldn't enter the kingdom of God," she recalled.

Out of the mouths of babes. He must have been reading up on the road map for peace.

Actually, there is little attention being paid to it on the grand scale of things here. There are about 10 folks that go from thread to thread and attack and belittle anyone and everyone asking questions. There is a chasm between those concerned with things like guilt by association and the power of the government and due process vs. those that vilify anyone asking questions while labeling, accusing and calling names, reporting abuse over and over and working to ban anyone not towing the government line.

Most definitely a charged issue.

Intact community?

Please tell me you're kidding or forgot the sarcasm tag?

In my previous employment, I had to deal with the excess males who were cast out of your 'intact community'. Imagine being 14 or 15 YOA, on your own, not having been properly edumacated, and a little on the puny side.

Intact community? < Note to self, finish coffee before continuing.

Also, FLDS men are required to shave and keep their hair short. "To grow a beard is a sign of immorality," Jessop explained.

Hmmm I wonder where they got THAT idea?
