Religious Abuse
Religious abuse is abuse administered under the guise of religion, including harassment or humiliation, which may result in psychological trauma. Religious abuse may also include misuse of religion for selfish, secular, or ideological ends such as the abuse of a clerical position.

Religious parents may be perceived as abusive because they enforce more rules, a higher set of standards and morals than is the norm, but believe it is necessary to teach there children what God expects of them according to their understanding of the Bible. It is all perspective and true intentions.

Internet Censorship Sucks
I was recently banned from the Psychopath Free forums for making too many posts in one thread. I made about three posts. Is that ridiculous? The next time there is a psychopath in my life I guess I won't be able to tell because I was kicked out of the goddamn forum.

Craigslist Password Debacle
Craigslist is making its members create passwords that are extremely difficult to remember. This is quite a bit more difficult than other websites. What's the deal?
If someone hacks into your computer they can see what you type into the computer. Thus it does not make any difference how complicated your password is. This trend to make passwords more and more difficult is pointless. Keep it simple stupid!

B is for Boycott
It really seems like Hollywood has run out of ideas. Some of the worst movies I have ever seen have come out since 2014. A clear sign of filmmaker desperation is repeated sequels or some of these stupid super hero movies. I am currently 36 years old. When I was growing up in the 90's there were a lot of good movies and music. I don't know what happened. Perhaps boycotting the lousy movies that are out right now will encourage filmmakers to do a better job. I've seen better film on teeth!

Word of the Day
Illegally obtained evidence is evidence acquired by violating a person's constitutional protection against illegal searches and seizures. In the United States, the exclusionary rule is a legal rule, based on constitutional law, saying that evidence collected or analyzed in violation of the defendant's constitutional rights is inadmissible for a criminal prosecution in a court of law.
The exclusionary rule is grounded in the Fourth Amendment and it is intended to protect citizens from illegal searches and seizures. The exclusionary rule is also designed to provide a remedy and disincentive, which is short of criminal prosecution in response to prosecutors and police who illegally gather evidence in violation of the Fifth Amendment.
