Tsk Tsk....yourself.  Even Christians can utter the word "asshole." Don't think that's against any rule of God, but judging others IS!!!!!

Ah well,  I stumbled - it happens.
Other anon - I'm not concerned with a tsk, tsk here and there. I personally don't think it was out of line - Jesus might not have used the word ass hole - but he expressed the same sentiment often enough.
However - if there are people reading what I write and thinking I ought not use the term ass hole - maybe they are right. I'll try to refrain.
But the reason I'm posting is to point out that the subject of this thread is very serious; and side debates on my choice of language are not worth diluting the thread or risking a change of subject.
A young girl died. It appears by her own hand. This is after a stint in a program known to be punitive and degrading. Is there a connection? I don't know - but that is a question worth looking at.
Now - I do regret calling the person an ass hole - but mostly b/c since that post I learned threw grape vine talk that there is some question it was suicide. Might not have been. But I think we can all agree it is a tragic situation.

Anybody know the facts about how this girl died? Not rumor or inuendo ... but the actual CAUSE of death determined by the ME (medical examiner) at autopsy?

Nobody is diluting, just noting, or pointing out, the hypocracy on what you preach vs. what you practice, that's all.

Sorry to disappoint you anon - but like the song says: Don't look at me - Look at Him.
I don't happen to think the use of the term ass hole to be hypocritical. Others are free to disagree.

For the other anon - Heres what I was told.

According to news paper reports she was found hanging in some woods. Cause of death, as far as I know, was hanging. This looks like a suicide. However, I am told by a friend, who has spoken with a friend of the girl, that her boy friend was the one who found her - and there is (I'm told) some suspicion that he may have killed her.
