What are Freemasons Views in relation to women?
I am just wanting to know a few questions about freemasonry, Do they have rules on premartial relations, on divorce, on monogamy. What are the views on Freemasons in relation to .Eg. How he treats his wife/partner, Marriage, Sex, being faithful, priorities, life etc... Does it effect their partners and in what way? I researched but all I can find out is its majorly a fraternity and ... I've seen too many movies... to me it sounds like a "Gentleman's Club" And an way for men to get drunk , be unfaithful, get out of family commitments, and have a heap of mates to cover their backside after... If anyone has answers I'd really appreicate it .FACTS PLEASE
Ideas to improve the standard of living for those earning under $18,000 in the U.S.?
saw an extremely thought provoking episode of oprah in which she was discussing the 30M people in the U.S. earning under $18,000, yet working tirelessly to make ends meet. was very surprised to hear of people in positions such as paramedics and lab technicians earning less than $10 per hour and unable to provide properly for their families (one woman profiled was living temporarily in a homeless shelter). raising the min wage will help, but even at roughly 2x where the min wage is today, health care costs are oftentimes enough to break the bank of most hourly earners. curious to hear potential solutions, partcularly from professionals in gov't or economics.
Is the killing of civilians in Kashmir by Indian army justified?
Here is the list of alleged atrocities by the Indian army and India on the whole:1. Kunan posh pora incident: It occured in 1991 when allegedly upto 100 women were raped. Although the Human Rights Watch estimates that upto 100 women could have been raped, charges could not be proven by the medical examination of women themselves. However, the Press Council Team concluded in their enquiry that it was a hoax orchestrated by militant groups and their sympathizers.Kunan Poshpora incident - Wikipedia2. 1987 election rigging: these are allegations of the Muslim United Front, which is largely the present day Hurriyat, as they could not gather even 4 seats out of the 76 seats in the elections. I would like to mention that the Election Commission of India is an autonomous body not under the direct control of the Government of India. In the 2014 Legislative Assembly elections, the Hurriyat called for a boycott of elections. However, a voter turnout of 65% was recorded.Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election, 1987 - Wikipediaand Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election, 2014 - Wikipedia3. Gawkadal massacre: Thousands of Kashmiris in 1990, defying curfew, took to streets shouting Independence slogans and pelting stones at CRPF personnel. CRPF personnel retaliated with gunfire in which atleast 50 people were killed. But the point worth mentioning here is that the security forces reserve the right to fire at anyone who breaks the curfew, and creates lawlessness, whether it be Srinagar or Delhi.Gawkadal massacre - Wikipedia4. Sopore massacre: It occurred in 1993 in which 55 civilians were killed. A platoon of BSF was attacked by 7-8 JKLF terrorists in which one soldier was killed. A heavy crossfire ensued and civilians were caught in the crossfire. The Government of India claims the higher casualty was due to the explosion of the explosives cache of the militants, which resulted in the nearby buildings catching fire.Sopore massacre - Wikipedia5. Bijbehara massacre: It occured in 1993, where 51 people were killed according to Amnesty International. The events which lead to the incident are as follows. Hazratbal shrine was occupied by the terrorists, in response to which the army laid a siege. This angered many, as it was considered the holiest shrine in Kashmir. On eight day of siege, around 15000 protesters, again defying curfew, demanded end to the siege. They were fired upon by the BSF soldiers.Bijbehara Massacre - Wikipedia
Do you have any family problems at home?
as most, i dont want to spill my life over a computer screen but ill say a few things that dont bother me so much to say. my parents got divorced before i could talk. now i live with my step mom and my dad because my step dad and mom were drug addicts, and alcoholics who didnt give a damn about me. i was 14 when i left their house and went to my dads because they were always out somewhere, always high, never paid attention to me, and had me sent away to ten brook (if you know what that is) its a boys home because they didnt want to deal with me. keep in mind, i didnt do a thing that was bad at that time, they just didnt want the responsibility of a kid. now that im at my dads and step moms house, its okay. my dads really cool, but my step mom hates me. shes always popping pills and trying to get me kicked out of my house because she wants it to be just her and my dad and she sees me as an intrusion. we dont get along at all, and makes it even harder for me and my dad to be cool because he tends to choose her over me. shes called the cops on me twice just to get me sent out of the house, when i had to go to court for a possession charge she lied and said i had beat her just to get me sent away. my dad knew nothing about it until i called him from jail. he got me out. because of all of that, i guess you could say ive acted out. i do a lot of drugs, i drink, i want to drop out of high school.. etc. ive really given up on life. ive attempted suicide more times than i can count. many by overdose because im too much of a panzy to want to feel pain. every time ive tried to overdose, i just end up getting myself really really high. my family has told me time and time again to kill myself, that no one wants me. and its worked. the only reason im alive today is because of my friends and juggalo family. they have done EVERYTHING for me. they comfort me when i need it, they always have my back, and they never leave my side. they are the only constant comforting thing i have in my life. i would die for them in a heartbeat. i get judged SO much by people who have no idea how i live, what i deal with, and what ive become. i wish more people could see what people have to deal with, but then again, i wouldnt want anyone to have to experince what i have.
