Using that note as entertainment on this site is just a shade less insensitive than the note is in the first place.

Pointing out the note writer’s obnoxiousness does not absolve this site of its responsibility.

WMDKitty, jokes about abuse don’t cause abuse…Abuse supplies material for jokes.

I don’t know what society you happen to be in, but where I live, if the cops come out, somebody’s going to be arrested for domestic violence.

Apathy about the issue is largely a thing of the past…that’s why I use a rubber hose now. You just can’t knock your bitch around like in the good old days!

I wasn’t talking about the cop’s reaction. And yeah, my reaction is How It Is. For me. I had no intention beyond that. Sorry I have nodata to satisfy you.

Modernmoron, without contextual details the experiences you relate make it (‘they don’t do anything’) it sound like That’s How It Is. I believe this to be intellectually sloppy because the impression you give is that the reactions of cops are the same all over. By specifying a town and time period we’re warmer to legitmacy, but the plural of anecdote is not data.

FERD, my dear. FIRST of all, that wasn’t all I had to go on – there was also the screaming, crying, furniture being thrown around, and some serious thumps followed by more crying. The bellowing in a rage-filled voice came after all that and was the last straw. SECONDLY, their drug use and drinking directly contributed to their loudness and idiocy EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND, proven by the fact that Tues-Friday were vewy vewy quiet (they ran out of their “recreational” substances by then). I never said I gave a shit if they liked me so that’s not even relevant. And yes, I do judge people who use illegal drugs and then act stupid. Sue me. I called the cops on them because I was concerned that male idiot (large) was going to actually hurt female idiot (tiny). LASTLY, if your partner is pooting in the bed, you should find someone who is more experienced at anal.

Jinx, we know you’re not “Arabic” because you asked how we know you’re not “Arabic”.

What we don’t know is if you are an adult…but we do know you are a dolt.

College?

Right.

El Jefe, I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I didn’t even realize I was attempting to offer any grand conclusions. Of course the cops do stuff. Unfortunately, often (but not always) in domestic abuse situations, the girlfriend/wife will often bail her own abuser out of jail the night of his arrest. Best is when you’re the one that reported it and they both treat you like shit for months afterwards or even threaten you.

by the way, I usually love the banter as much as the notes. This one went a really bad place and hurt people.

Yeah, I know women who chose to leave an abusive relationship. Some of them get killed. Why is it that we tend to downplay this?

My mom’s best friend was murdered by her husband after she “chose” to leave him. He went to her work and shot her. Left behind a teenage girl.

re: 3.5 I confess, CB…. I can never seem to get my head correctly around a|effect. I try just avoiding using the word at all…. I am sufficiently shamed, but have no ballgags handy.

1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

What race do I think is superior, El Jackass?

2 : racial prejudice or discrimination

I don’t hate based on race. I hate everyone equally.

How do you know I’m not Arabic? So, if you don’t know, El Spic… Er, El Jefe, you can’t say I’m racist. I’ve pointed out the flaws in Asians, Blacks, Whites, and many others on this forum. So, pick up a dictionary , retard.
