“We mute the realization of malevolence- which is too threatening to bear - by turning offenders into victims themselves and by describing their behavior as the result of forces beyond their control.” ForceResultsBearsBehaviorVictimRealizationThreateningDescribingMuteOffendersMalevolence Book:Predators: Pedophiles, Rapists, and Other Sex Offenders : who They Are, how They Operate, and how We Can Protect Ourselves and Our Children Source: Predators: Pedophiles, Rapists, and Other Sex Offenders : who They Are, how They Operate, and how We Can Protect Ourselves and Our Children
“Any form of corporal punishment or 'spanking' is a violent attack upon another human being's integrity. The effect remains with the victim forever and becomes an unforgiving part of his or hier personality--a massive frustration resulting in a hostility which will seek expression in later life in violent acts towards others. The sooner we understand that love and gentleness are the only kinds of called-far behavior towards children, the better. The child, especially, learns to become the kind of human being that he or she has experienced. This should be fully understood by all caregivers.” ShouldHumansKindChildrenFormHuman BeingsForeverEffectsExpressionPersonalityIntegrityBehaviorUnderstoodVictimRemainsPunishmentViolentFrustrationMassiveGentlenessHostilityUnforgivingSpankingCaregiversCorporal PunishmentViolent Acts Author:Ashley Montagu
“I think it's almost necessary for most people to have the freedom to pull back, and then re-enter at an adult level, where they are neither playing the victim nor creating victims, but just participating in calm, adult behavior. Because an awful lot of churches just aren't there at adult Christianity, this seems to be the norm anymore.” PeopleThinkingSeemsChurchLevelsChristianityBehaviorCreatingAdultsVictimCalmAwfulNormParticipating Author:Richard Rohr
“Just as we're always told that schoolyard bullies are actually deeply insecure, liberals rationalize their own ferocious behavior by claiming to have been wounded somehow. What about the little guy our poor, insecure bully is beating the living daylights out of? How's his self-esteem coming along? That is the essence of liberals: They viciously attack everyone else, while wailing that they are the victims.” LittlesHas BeensSelfGuyPoorSelf EsteemBehaviorEssenceVictimEsteemWoundedInsecureBullyDaylightRationalizeWailing Author:Ann Coulter
“What I do believe happens in a lot of these cases is that we somehow want to place blame on the victim for their behavior or that they brought it upon themself.

“The noonday devil of the Christian life is the temptation to lose the inner self while preserving the shell of edifying behavior. Suddenly I discover that I am ministering to AIDS victims to enhance my resume. I find I renounced ice cream for Lent to lose five excess pounds... I have fallen victim to what T.S.
