For Subscribers – 01-29-2008

Been a while since I was able to do one of these posts, so let’s cover some links to things that I’ve found interesting!

Homosexuals Squelch Facts About MRSA Outbreak, Conservatives Say

And you thought AIDS was bad, now there’s a new Multi-drug Resistant Microbe, but the problem is that political correctness is keeping how it’s spread a secret:

In fact, the researchers determined that this variant of MRSA infection is 13 to 14 times more prevalent in homosexual men than for the general population.

This is just one more reason that we should not be encouraging this lifestyle– it’s sin, it’s a risky behavior, and it should stop.

New Miss America once battled anorexia

There’s always some story around Miss America– and this year it’s that Miss America has battled anorexia in the past.

Haglund was diagnosed with anorexia, and the lack of nutrition caused her collar bones to stick out, her heart rate to drop and her relationships to suffer.

“I would feel fatigued walking up six stairs,” the 19-year-old Haglund said Sunday, a day after being crowned Miss America 2008. “I was a completely different person. It’s not a pretty sight.”

Haglund plans to spend her yearlong reign, trying to raise awareness of eating disorders, promoting the pagaent and helping the Children’s Miracle Network while maintaining a healthy lifestyle and exercise.

“You have to have curves,” she said proudly. “You can’t look like a stick-thin model.”

We must pray that these girls see what they are doing to their bodies and realize it before it’s too late.

Cell Porn Scandal Hits Pa. High School

The problem with cell phones that have cameras is that they are everywhere, and it’s only a matter of time before the images that are taken are passed everywhere.  And once it’s sent, there’s not way to get it back.

Troopers are now attempting the impossible– to find the copies of these girls in compromising situations and get them erased.  Frankly, I’m surprised that they are not already all over the Internet.

It’s a sad commentary on our society when our kids think it’s appropriate to take something that’s private and blast it for all the world to see.  And yet this is the very thing that our porn generation has said is a good thing.

Blogging “Against Choice:” All About Me

This is quite a powerful article (you should read the whole thing) about what’s behind the pro-choice movement:

Everything in the abortion debate, at least on the other side, is centered around what I think, what I feel, what I want, who I am and why I should force everyone else to be comfortable with my decisions and my actions. Their central point seems to be that because I am who I am, the rest of the world is thereby required to assent to my decisions about my life and my decisions concerning any other life that might temporarily be within my control, not by virtue of recognition of any moral conviction or standard, but by group recognition of the illiberal virtue of “privacy,” that ungodly word that pervades every aspect of today’s battle.

The focus of the pro-life movement — at least the new pro-life movement — is one that doesn’t focus on me. The pro-life movement should and presumably has always been about protecting and assisting others. It is the ultimate gift of self-sacrifice that calls people to care so deeply about children not yet formed who they may never know.

    MIN, are you checking out these companies that you are advertising on your site?  The last few times I’ve been here I have been disturbed by some of their content on your site.
    You  can’t have it both ways –  who are you serving and what’s with this ad for “Lipstick Jungle” ?
