Domestic Turbulence

I’m going to write this assuming that everyone who reads this is neutral.  Quite often relationships have domestic turbulence which is demonstrated in a variety of ways most of which are well known.

One of the less well known are when the female is the abusive partner.  What is a guy to do when he’s in a bad relationship and can’t move out for fear of losing his children, but is racially abused every single day, verbally abused and on occasion has to fight off physical abuse?  What is a guy to do when a woman’s anger control is so weak that she lashes out with violent shoves or punches or slaps everytime she hears something she doesn’t like or gets angry?  Should the guy stand there and take it or should he defend himself with the minimum force necessary to ward off physical harm?

I don’t see why a male should have to take any sort of abuse from any female.

Aloof and snooty

One thing I really despise is some of the snooty and pompous morons on a support forum I frequent.  Whilst it is a support forum primarily there is a section of the forum for off topic discussion which can basically mean anything can be talked about.

But as soon as a topic such as religion or politics comes up and someone posts a conflicting opinion,  there’s a core crowd on the the board that will ALL insult or put that person down if just one of that crowd does it.  It’s like they’re a bunch of sheep – if one sheep does something, then they all do it.

I despise people who think they’re too good to talk about controversial subjects.  What a bunch of idiots.

On another note… I spoke to a friend on MSN Messenger that I hadn’t spoke to in a while.  Her name’s Reem Ibrahim.  She’s from Jordan and has American citizenship through her dad.  I met her on the plane to England maybe five years ago.   I wish I could have videotaped her and shown that video to some of the ignorant assholes in this town – she’s Arab and she’s Muslim but nothing like the stereotypes I hear people in Kenora have of Muslim women from the Middle East.  Anyways… she’s currently doing an MBA in Switzerland now and all is well which is good.
