Freedom4TheVirtuous Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 So I went to two busy neighborhoods from morning to mid afternoon holding a big sign that said - in red letters *Child abuse is Evil* and in blue letters *Peaceful Parenting is Virtuous* My motivation came from learning that a family member was significantly sexually abused. Now every Thursday I will be openly showboating a sign demonizing sexual abuse in regards to children. I think next week I will grow bigger balls and hold a sign that reads something like: *Men raped by their Mothers should see their Mothers sentenced to the death penalty* Why? Because Virtue, a ballsack and spine. Time to %#$&ing change the World. I'm not sitting in my bed and reading/writing friendly posts. It's time to take to the streets. I do this in a ghetto, leftist and underclass/middle-class area. By myself - as a short hairy white guy. No excuses why anyone else can't do it. If you live in Rhode Island - please come and help me spread awareness of female rapists. Thanks.
wdiaz03 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 I admire your determination but question your approach. I wonder if people just redefine what abuse is in their heads not to feel guilt about your sign. Slogans seem ineffective, because if someone changes their mind by a slogan, then they'll change it back by a different slogan...there's no meat, just my two cents 1
kavih Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 It sounds like you've gained that passion that I once had when I thought changing the world meant getting every last person to vote for Ron Paul. After a year of digging deeper and realizing anarchy is best solution, I look back at my days of passionate activism, holding signs, canvasing, protesting, and more and realize it was misdirected. Now that I know what Stef and this community has helped me realize about peaceful parenting, I wish I would have used that past activism to hold signs, canvas, protest, etc. for peaceful parenting, as you are doing. I really commend you for actually taking action! Something that I would recommend, is to have someone record you on the other side of the street or setup a camera to record yourself, in case you are physically threatened (given the scenario you described). As for signage recommendations, may be create a sign that quotes troubling statistics about spanking or whatever the topic will be? Statistics usually provide a sense of 3rd-party validation, so that the phrase on your sign doesn't just look like your opinion. I'm going to add you as a friend on here, because I'm working on a project about the effects of non-peaceful parenting, with the end result being something visual people can share. Then, if you wanted to, you could print them out and hand them to people as part of your boots on the ground effort.
