FUN WITH SLAVERY?Achairde All:
Well, every time I get frightened that I won't be able to write for much longer someone does something to convince me I still have a bit of the fight left in me no matter how bad I feel physically. This time the honors go to Facebook. By and large I like the place until something happened to me- WITH OUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT- and I'm back in the saddle again! I think we all know how I feel about slavery. Mother knows I've written enough about it for almost 5 years. Also, can anyone forget the picture I posted of the 8 year old Sudanese House Slave who was expected to clean her Master's house and watch his children for a bowl of rice a day! Or the sex slaves lured to so-called "Civilized Countries" on the promise of good jobs as Nannies only to be sold into prostitution. Those who resist are beaten, tortured and chained to a bed where they are expected to service 20 to 40 clients a day. If you want a real picture of how bad the situation is I suggest you go to the Anti-Slavery Homepage at: Anti-Slavery Homepage http://www.antislavery.org/ But the reality is slavery continues TODAY. Millions of men, women and children around the world are forced to lead lives as slaves. Although this exploitation is often not called slavery, the conditions are the same. People are sold like objects, forced to work for little or no pay and are at the mercy of their 'employers'. Slavery exists today despite the fact that it is banned in most of the countries where it is practiced. It is also prohibited by the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 1956 UN Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery, the Slave Trade and Institutions and Practices Similar to Slavery. Women from eastern Europe are bonded into prostitution, children are trafficked between West African countries and men are forced to work as slaves on Brazilian agricultural estates. Contemporary slavery takes various forms and affects people of all ages, sex and race... Why am I so irate? Here's a clue I came across at Facebook last night:
***** spanked you. 7:44pm ***** bought you for $571, earning you $30 in profit. 7:43pm That's right folks- I WAS SOLD, MADE A PROFIT FROM, LISTED AS ONE OF THIS BODACH'S SEX PETS AND TOLD TO REPORT FOR MY SPANKING again ALL WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT!!!!!!!!!!! I like a good joke as much as the next woman. But if you've read me a couple of times you would agree that I am, arguably, the WORST person they could have picked to do this to. At least that was the general consensus of several organizations I contacted about it. In fact one Anti-Slavery Advocate actually said, "Sweet Jesus! I'm going to go hide under my bed until the explosions are over! Are they crazy or they just don't know who you are?" (A bit of both I think- even though my profile makes it quite clear what I do and this is my Web Address.) General attitude- IT'S JUST GOOD, CLEAN FUN!!! I couldn't care less what consenting Adults do in the privacy of their own rooms. We all know that if this jerk had written me asking to buy me, etc. the answer would have been an emphatic, "No!" (Followed by language that would have Miss Pat and Miss Wil making me lick a bar of lye soap like a lollipop!!!) Since Facebook is Multi-Racial and you can be enslaved without your knowledge the NAACP was even less amused than I was! So do me a favor and take a stand against slavery in any form. If you are a member of Facebook go to the Protest Section at the following link and let them know that this is not good, clean fun. It is humiliating, degrading and since most of the slaves are women, sexist. PROTEST@ FACEBOOK http://apps.facebook.com/protest/ I was really depressed when we had our outage. I am SO glad to be back among my Efx2 Family where no matter the gender, age or race we know the difference between right and wrong! Keep the Faith!
