Foster Slavery

[karlsie]

You heard it first on Subversify; the corruptive practices of foster child placements. What did i see at Yahoo news today? Low and behold! An article on youthful house maid trafficking!

Although the article limits its victims to African shipping, the same mentality that will buy a child for domestic chores will dip into foster care funds. Let's begin opening that can a little wider. With a faltering economy, how many more people will be tempted to choose the option of government sanctioned child labor? How many other foreign countries have already begun the lucrative practices of selling their children off to the highest bidder? Morals are so often dictated by convenience. The same people who whistle blew on ANWR now consider it a salvation to our National debt. The same people who cried child abuse now harbor juvenile domestic servants with the justification that they are better off where they are than the homes they had been brought up in. This issue will not go away with a single exposure. It must be brought up again and again until consciouness is raised and something to improve the conditions has been done.

I'm waiting on some Strawman documents owned by a friend before pursuing my own article on foster care, but i would think our comedians could come up with some good satire, a commentary or bit of fiction. I promise, if you can make this a laughing matter, i will not penalize you with a five hundred word essay. From the magnaminous pits of my heart, i've designated only shoe throwing articles to the penalty box this month.

I blame it as I do most things on Desperate Housewives...didn't they have a "houseslave" who bore their child too?? Just sayin....

Good one, Grainne! ;D

I think those desperate housewives need some good bitch slapping. The view you get of the world in general is rather remarkable if you don't have your head shoved up someone's ass. It smells a bit better, too.

Are you guys talking about the Desperate Dumbwives? This is an tender subject, should it be addressed as comedic?

[karlsie]

Tenderizing is good for people. It relaxes the muscles. Ever notice how tender your stomach feels after a good belly laugh? All those muscles stretching and quivering with wholesome exercise. It's as beneficial as a hot tub! As i said earlier, humor is as good as your understanding of the subject. Throw a little humor into the ring of informative articles and you gain a perspective from readers you might not have otherwise.

I'll say it again; desperate dumb wives deserve a little bitch slapping. If their convictions are so right, why are they so unhappy? And they must be unhappy or they wouldn't be so determined to spread some unhappiness around. They are so unhappy, they are desperate. They need a wake up call so they can see their desperation is the prison they created for themselves with their meaningless value system.
