Of course, I pop in here.....probably because of the things I in my own personal life am going through. It has placed a huge soap box under me....so high right now that if I fell of, it would definitely be like jumping off the empire state building.

This post fits right in....people justifying inapropriate behavior because it's innocent. If an essay about preditors doesn't say it's wrong, then there isn't anything wrong with it. What about privacy.....did anyone ask the 15 month old if when she was a teenager, trying to be a popular GOOD girl in school, someone goes back & pulls up this CUTE INNOCENT naked photo of her at 15 months old. Does anyone thing far enough ahead in this life anymore to understand there are consequenses to our behavior that goes far beyond what we can even imaging. Those consequenses may not have anything to do with preditors....it may just have to do with a girl trying to fit into school.

Our parents did crappy things to us & we swore we wouldn't treat our children the same way....look at us? We just find stupid other things to mess up their lives with because we just don't see anything wrong with it.

Whatever happened to privacy.....whatever happened to keeping certain things to ourselves & our families? Why isn't our gut feelings telling what is right & wrong anymore? Why is society justifuing everything that is done....so we can all see why everyone does what they do & pride ourselves as being understanding people? As we continue to justify things that gut feelings tell people is wrong, that justifyed action becomes more & more acceptable. Pretty soon, because we can justify that someone kills someone, society will less & less see the wrong in it. Someday, in will become acceptable to kill who ever we please because we understand why someone does it? That gives them a right to do that action because they are justifyed?

This issue of justified behavior is something I have been dealing with in my own life & this post just really triggered that point with me.....I am just so tired of wrong things being justified to the point where the person doesn't even know right from wrong anymore.

Please understand, this post is definitely my point of view. based on my own experiences & what I have been observing in society all around me lately.....& sadly, at this point, the soap box I was on exploded today & the fall out is huge.

I still believe that Ozzie knows as maybe nothing more than a gut feeling that posting the photo was wrong & far from keeping private things private.....sometimes gut feelings are what is really right & they should be listened to.

Ozzie, please don't be swayed by justifications if know inside your feelings are right. Keep your beliefs, what you truely believe.
