Fear of the Known
Here's some of my thoughts on "Blogging the Fifth Nail" as I read it tonight. I decided to leave them as they are, without spell checking or even re-reading them:
Refers to Sex offenders as "they"... not we.he doesnt see himself as one of them.
very interesting, even valid thought. coherant and reasonable... even persuasive thoughts on criminal rehabilitation. "we must confront the truth of our own sickness before we can expect criminals to do the same" (paraphrase) it's true. I wonder if he's simply a convincingly good speaker.
seems to blame "the machien" for everything. society encourages crime? I suppose that may be true. the structure of society, not the people in it mind you. It's more like (this is my opinion, not his) the poverty and hardships that some face force them to commit crimes of necessity. things like robbery and drug dealing. some of these people have to it to have money to feed thier children. He suggests something of the same in regaurdes to rape... I don't see the connection.
Creepy. he has some thoughts that i've had myself. about how the system doesnt really work. "The law is just a bunch of rules, and whoever can manipulate those rules the best wins. It’s a very sad game, where nobody wins." that's what i've been trying to say for a while. If this man wasn't so sick i would respect him.
Education of criminals. He makes a good point. (I'm starting to be creeped out by how normal and incredibly intelligent and reasonable this guy sounds.) he actaully uses facts and sites sources for his information. I've seen less intellegant things on some very very well known blogs. I think that frightens me the most. This guy is normal. somone I'de enjoy having a conversation with. Maybe that will change?
He has the same problems, the same worries as all of us. Relationship problems.
The first sign of anything weird at all. Some kind of thought obout people from the future... as far as odd thoughts go, however, not too odd really. it was... what any of us might think after an interesting movie.
ok. this one was pretty parinoid. He thinks his web site and some others are being shut down by the government.
More on his sight being "MIA on Google" he says it doesnt show up on Google, no matter how hard you search for it... but I got it on the first try... first hit. is it odd that I feel better now that he doesnt sound so... likeable?
I'm tierd now and starting to not understand his words. One more thought though - I noticed as I was writing my reactions, that I tired not to change my diction. I tried not to call him a "man" or by his name... it feeds right into what he was saying about how we all dehumanize people. ...but he is human... his name is Joe. Why am I afraid to comtemplate this person? Why do I fear compassion for him? It's as if I fear that if I feel compassion for him that I will become like him. I'm still scared but i really want to keep reading. I'm going to. I think I'll learn more about myself through this man. this man. I'm too tierd to be trying to sort all this out. Good night.
