More than 1,000 young American women have been raped or sexually assaulted in the last decade while serving as Peace Corps volunteers in foreign countries, an ABC News 20/20 investigation has found. In some cases, victims say, the Peace Corps has ignored safety concerns and later tried to blame the women who were raped for bringing on the attacks.

I thought you were speaking of Detroit or Oakland, it sound like a similar story.

Diversity is our strength. It take a village. Mexican values do not not stop at the Rio Grande. Religion of peace.

Have you been pissed off enough yet?

I am pissed at myself for even typing it.

Really? I’m an idiot?

Non-Muslim young women in France and Belgium have taken to wearing the naquib (Islamic veil) just because they are tired of being called whores every time they walk down the street without one.

American (and British) female reporters were sexually molested during the Egyptian uprising. Why? Because they didn’t exhibit the “modesty” that Muslim males expect.

Don’t be a politically correct leftie: go to the Muslim world as a female and expect to be sexually assaulted if you exhibit typical American female behaviors. Just as Australian women who go topless on the beach in Sydney can expect to be cursed at by muslim immigrants.

I’m not condoning it, merely pointing out that it exists.

If you wish to preemptively surrender to Shariah law, go ahead. But don’t expect me to surrender with you or to be complicit in your surrender.

You are an idiot because you claimed that a neutered male is the only male that can function in a civilized society.

I feel like I gave up my youth to work for equal opportunity and what we got is this equal outcome crap.

Hell yes I am pissed. I had what we call a 1040A conversion. I had seen so much waste, graft, bribery and downright theft in New Orleans, when I got my first big tax big I immediately felt raped myself because I knew I might as well just take my paycheck outside and burn it as much good as my taxes were going to do.

I’ve met one Peace Corps veteran.

Many years ago when my nephews were about 17, my whole family vacationed in Honduras at a very small resort.

One evening my nephews and I were seated at the beach front cabana, two college age girls came over and joined us. They from Texas and stationed with the Peace Corps in a tiny village in the interior of Honduras and were at the resort with their parents who had flown down for vacation.

Talk about naieve, idealistic twits, even my nephews shook their heads at what these chicks were saying. One statement that I remember clearly when they were telling us what they were doing was "they're there trying to "empower" the women......."

Well, that's all fine and good but the women they were trying to empower live in shacks with no glass in the windows, dirt floors, doubtful electricity and wash their clothes by hand in the nearby river..........

There was a dance hall and bar in the town where we were and the two twits wanted to meet us there that night. I left it up to my nephews and they laughed and said no way!
