So now I get it. Baby boys are less important than women, too.

[LJ_Reloaded]

You'd think that if a mass rape attack included baby boys and women, that the boys would become headline news... because they're CHILDREN... right?

Welp, nope. THAT would obviously detract from the tears they want you to shed for the WOMEN.

I mean, who gives a fuck what happens to the boys? They're just BOYS. A fucking FOOTNOTE.

Right?!

Some 200 women gang-raped near Congo UN base

Some 200 women gang-raped near Congo UN base
By MICHELLE FAUL, Associated Press Writer Michelle Faul, Associated Press Writer Mon Aug 23, 5:17 pm ET

JOHANNESBURG – Rwandan and Congolese rebels gang-raped nearly 200 women and some baby boys over four days within miles of a U.N. peacekeepers' base in an eastern Congo mining district, an American aid worker and a Congolese doctor said Monday.

Will F. Cragin of the International Medical Corps said aid and U.N. workers knew rebels had occupied Luvungi town and surrounding villages in eastern Congo the day after the attack began on July 30.

More than three weeks later, the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Congo has issued no statement about the atrocities and said Monday it still is investigating.

Cragin told The Associated Press by telephone that his organization was only able to get into the town, which he said is about 10 miles (16 kilometers) from a U.N. military camp, after rebels ended their brutal spree of raping and looting and withdrew of their own accord on Aug. 4.

At U.N. headquarters in New York, spokesman Martin Nesirky said Monday that a U.N. Joint Human Rights team verified allegations of the rape of at least 154 women by combatants from the Rwandan rebel FDLR group and Congolese Mai-Mai rebels in the village of Bunangiri. He said the victims are receiving medical and psycho-social care.

Nesirky said the U.N. peacekeeping mission has a military company operating base in Kibua, some 30 kilometers (about 19 miles) east of the village, but he said FDLR attackers blocked the road and prevented villagers from reaching the nearest communication point.

Civil society leader Charles Masudi Kisa said there were only about 25 peacekeepers and that they did what they could against some 200 to 400 rebels who occupied the town of about 2,200 people and five nearby villages.

"When the peacekeepers approached a village, the rebels would run into the forest, but then the Blue Helmets had to move on to another area, and the rebels would just return," Masudi said.

There was no fighting and no deaths, Cragin said, just "lots of pillaging and the systematic raping of women."

Four young boys also were raped, said Dr. Kasimbo Charles Kacha, the district medical chief. Masudi said they were babies aged one month, six months, a year and 18 months.

"Many women said they were raped in their homes in front of their children and husbands, and many said they were raped repeatedly by three to six men," Cragin said. Others were dragged into the nearby forest.

International and local health workers have treated 179 women but the number raped could be much higher as terrified civilians still are hiding, he said.

"We keep going back and identifying more and more cases," he said. "Many of the women are returning from the forest naked, with no clothes."

He said that by the time they got help it was too late to administer medication against AIDS and contraception to all but three of the survivors.

Spokeswoman Stefania Trassari said her U.N. Organization for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid was monitoring the situation but that access for humanitarian workers remains "very limited due to insecurity."

Luvungi is a farming center on the main road between Goma, the eastern provincial capital, and the major mining town of Walikale.

Kacha said on one day during the rebel occupation Indian peacekeepers had provided a military escort against the rebels to a large commercial truck traveling from Kemba to Luvungi, which is near a cassiterite mine and about 88 miles (140 kilometers) south of Goma.

U.N. mission spokesman Madnodje Mounoubai promised to get military comment on the assumption that the peacekeepers were protecting commercial goods but not civilians, which is their primary mandate.

Survivors said their attackers were from the FDLR that includes perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide who fled across the border to Congo in 1994 and have been terrorizing the population in eastern Congo ever since, according to Cragin. The Rwandans were accompanied by Mai-Mai rebels, he said, quoting survivors.

Masudi, the civil society leader, said the rebels arrived after Congolese army troops without explanation redeployed from Luvungi and its surroundings to Walikale. He said this happened after some soldiers deserted and joined rebels in the forest.

Rape as a weapon of war has become shockingly commonplace in eastern Congo, where at least 8,300 rapes were reported last year, according to the United Nations. It is believed that many more rapes go unreported.

Congo's army and U.N. peacekeepers have been unable to defeat the many rebel groups responsible for the long drawn-out conflict in eastern Congo, which is fueled by the area's massive mineral reserves. Gold, cassiterite and coltan are some of the minerals mined in the area near Luvungi, with soldiers and rebels competing for control of lucrative mines that give them little incentive to end the fighting.

"The minerals are our curse with the FDLR looting on one side and the soldiers looting on the other," said Masudi.

The Congolese government this year has demanded the withdrawal of the $1.35 billion-a-year U.N. mission, the largest peacekeeping force in the world with more than 20,000 soldiers, saying it has failed in its primary mandate to protect civilians.

Mission officials have said that the peacekeeping army is too small to police this sprawling nation the size of Western Europe, and that its peacekeepers are handicapped by rebels using civilians as shields and operating in rugged terrain where they are difficult to pursue.

The mission also has a difficult mandate of supporting the Congolese army, whose troops often also are accused of raping and pillaging.

Don't get yourself too worked up. Like most lower-class white Protestant males in this country, LJ finds himself in a very precarious position. As the demographics of this country change those last few scraps of status he could claim (or pretend to claim) vanishes. He has become irrelevant in his own lifetime, so he lashes out at anything and everything that makes him feel worthless and insecure.

It would be nice, ya know.

Nobody ever realizes that when these rape things go down that boys also get targeted. They are - in the minds of ancient Greeks and modern savages alike - considered "the third gender".

Nobody gives a shit about what happens to boys. That's why decades of molestation of boys by priests never got any attention until recently. That's why you only recently had any guys coming out about this. In America, no less. The only reason anyone went after the Catholic Church about it was politics, really.

As Robert Heinlein said... men are disposable.

You are by far the dumbest towelhead in the whole universe. I'm black, for one, and NOT a Protestant, for two. And I'm relevant enough that you feel the need to lash out at me. Now run along and go find something to suicide bomb.

 

[badbabysitter]

I didnt get myself worked up.... I just wanted to point out his own hypocracy by making men the primary issue in this

and speaking of which.. it was men who did the raping in this situation.. I'm hoping LT doesnt want us to feel sympathy for them because they felt compeled to rape because they have penises

Wow. Just... wow.
Can anyone here read?

I said, CHILDREN. Not men, CHILDREN. Children are always the primary issue when they're victims. Except, of course, when they're boys.

Oh my God, what does it take to get you GBers to understand basic humanity.

and speaking of which.. it was men who did the raping in this situation.. I'm hoping LT doesnt want us to feel sympathy for them because they felt compeled to rape because they have penises

I wasn't talking about sympathy for the men. I was talking about equal sympathy for the BOYS ... CHILDREN... who got raped.

CHILDREN, YOU IDIOTS!!!

Salient points.. but you're also dismissing the systematic use of rape as an instrument of war.. the above article also pruports up to 8300 ( at least) were raped

end result.. no one still gives a shit

You saw the brutality inflicted on the boys as the missing crime in this article..and in part ; I agree.. it is a hotrible travesty and disgusting..,but you make no mention of the 8300 ( at least) rapes commited on women in the last year

thats the real footnote in this article..and it will continue to go on unabated

As for the catholic thing.. I also somewhat agree with your point..but only somewhat.. its only been given major media exposure as of late... thwere have been charges going back against the clergy ongoing for thirty years now in my neck of the wood.. I think its an American thing, you're a very religous country and get very offended when your figures of faith are shown to be socko freaks


and as for the ancient greeks.. women were considered second class then too

But the article itself gave plenty of attention to this fact. I'm adding in what it left out.

EVERYONE knows the plight of women in that area. For me to bring it up would be redundant. It's like screaming "STOP THIEF!!!" when the cops are already beating the guy with batons. But what happens to the boys in that region hardly ever gets talked about.

thats the real footnote in this article..and it will continue to go on unabated

Did they ever BUST the Catholic Church for this where you're from? I know all they did worldwide was move priests around for that shit.

and as for the ancient greeks.. women were considered second class then too

Except in Sparta. Where they abandoned unwanted baby boys to die. (Thought that might get ya horny, lol)

Scuse me. I'm still stunned that you of all people likened my call for sympathy for those boy victims, to someone calling for sympathy for the rapists. That just totally... floored me. This goes far beyond belief.

Ah, I see. You're one of those immigrants who got kicked out of Al Qaeda because you were too scared to give your life suicide bombing someone. No wonder you're such a pathetic little pussy. But now how does that explain your complete and utter ignorance to the fact that I'm African American and not a WASP? That doesn't seem to explain how you MISSED all the threads I've posted gloating about the coming end of America's white majority. Or all the FIGHTS I've had primarily with white people over their use of 'nigger' and all that bullshit.

It seems your real problem is that you know that when you die you won't be getting one of those Virgins that Allah promises you - instead you'll be one of the virgins. Given your stupidity and pussified cowardice it's painfully obvious that you'll die a virgin.

Nobody cares about the boys? Jesus Christ you're a fucking moron...

Nice work abbreviating the quote from Heinlein to try to make it mean something completely different though. I knew when I put it in my signature that it would be sure to tweak your delicate sensibilities. I mean with poor men being such a battered and abused segment of society. At least in your case I suppose.

The meaning of the quote, since your poor undeveloped mind is incapable of figuring it out is this: That preserving the women and children of a society is much more important than preserving the men. Since even with a minimum number of men a society can recover as long as the women and children remain. Children grow up to have little tiny children of their own, as long as they survive. It only takes one man to make sure that several women are able to contribute to re population efforts. If you save the men at the expense of the women and children you're finished. As Heinlein said, you've bilged your final test. By saving the men at the expense of the women and children you have managed to doom your society to a slow death.

In a humane society, "women and children first" is a testimony to the bravery and chivalry of civilized men. Emphasis on the word "civilized." Women are to be protected, without them there are no children. Without children, there is no future for the society. Like it or not a high percentage of a society's men can perish without affecting the survival of the society as a whole as long as the women and children are preserved.

As for the Catholic church I've yet to see anyone defend their actions with regards to priests molesting children, in fact most from both sides of the political aisle berate them for the ongoing cover up of pedo-priests. You could try to go after the Catholic Church itself, extradite the Pope from Vatican city and try him for complicity in covering up several hundred (thousand) years of this type of behavior. Somehow I don't see that going anywhere. In the end all that can be done IS being done. Those priests identified as molesting children are being brought up on criminal charges where possible. Tried and in most cases convicted and sent to jail.

By the way Le Jackass, calling someone a "towelhead" is no better than calling a black person a "nigger". An ethnic slur is an ethnic slur.
Congratulations on outing yourself, AGAIN, as a racist fuckwit.

Ulaven Demented, I get it for fuck's sake. You'd tie one of those baby boys on a spit and roast him, and I'm a schmuck for saying that's wrong.* Men are expendable, after all. Or have you dumped that disgusting sexist .sig yet?


* Oh no, wait, you'd feed him to the Rottweiler's, like you did your son.

This article from today's WaPo mentions boys getting raped.

Just google: Belgian Genocide Africa.

 

[Songcatcher]

By the way, king of Belgium is a son of queen Victoria or something.

Not very nice people.

 

[Songcatcher]

Come to think of it; next to Belgium is Holland. A tiny, tiny, country which happens to be the CENTER of European Union, where prostitution (white slavery) and drugs are legal.

And next to Holland?

Germany.

What's next to Germany? Surprise, surprise! Switzerland which is basically German, Italian and Friench BANKS!

Becuse...

It's apprently not racism, so long as it's agenst whites

It's apperntly not sexism,so long as it's agenst men

It's apperently not class discrimination, so long as it's agenst the upper class

It's apperently not discrimination agenst sexual preference, so long as it's agenst hetrosexuals.

Basically, by giving so much attention and benifits to the formar "lower classes", people have essentially put the formor "upper classes" exactly where they where.

Headlines are written to attract readers. If it bleeds, it leads.

And what was that Alice Cooper song?

 

[QueenLevitra]

The short version is:

LT's momma sold his baby ass to finance her crack and bingo habit.

When he began to mature and bring in less cash she beat him until it stunted his growth and continued to sell his little demented ass until she died.

LT, left alone, bitterly confused and saddled with debt and sex toys, can never really recover. His bitter and circular diatribe will go on like the keening of a mortally wounded animal until he is found dead in some Bateslike Motel.

* Oh no, wait, you'd feed him to the Rottweiler's, like you did your son.

No Le Jackass, you don't get it and probably never will.

Nobody has even remotely suggested what you insist. Nobody is "ignoring" the plight of those young boys (funny how you seem to home in on the small number of young boys being raped while ignoring that the overwhelming number of victims are women and young girls). In your mind the boys are more important. You ignore the overwhelming number of women being subjected to the same treatment because why? It's expected that women will be raped and bringing attention to the massive numbers of women being subjected to that horror on a daily basis is not needed?

You keep insisting that it's about children being raped but single out only the relatively small number of young boys, ignoring the fact that there are likely several times more young girls ( you know, those children you claim to be concerned about) being raped in the same manner. It's not about children for you, as you insist it is. It's about the young boys in particular. I can only imagine that treatment holds a special horror for you.

That "disgusting" signature quote is a simple pragmatic truth, one that you are unwilling to acknowledge.

This is representative of an ongoing theme with you. Well, along with nearly every single thread you have created in the past several years.

You're too stuck in your own little abstract world attributing positions to everyone and bashing the straw men of your own creation to even consider listening to anyone with a differing view. Anyone who dares to disagree with whatever insane theory you're pushing is caught in the wash of your burning insanity. Hell, this entire thread is testament to that fact.

You're a complete psychotic, and seem content to remain just there despite the help that advances in modern medicine could afford you should you just accept the help you so obviously require.

I would pity your wife and children, if they actually existed anywhere outside of your fevered little mind. Luckily, they do not. There isn't a man or woman alive with even an ounce of self respect that would put up with the mental abuse you heap upon anyone that becomes labeled "enemy". That label is earned not by disagreement, but by failing to fall down and worship your way as the only real truth, even simple agreement is not enough. You demand absolute fealty.

You alienate yourself even from those who would agree with you on some points. You are incapable of seeing any view but your own and attack any failure to bow at your feet as the one true master of truth as an attack on your very being.

This has played itself out here with every person who has ever tried to toss you a life line. They're brilliant, your greatest student, since you obviously taught them everything they know, at least until they disagree with you about something. Then like magic they become the enemy and all manner of vile,repulsive positions are attributed to them in your attempt at validating your petty vendetta.

You're best described by the joke about a woman who complained that she had fucked every man in town and none of them were worth a damn in bed. Neglecting to notice that she was the only common denominator in that equation.

You're that poor lonely woman who can't fuck worth a damn and blames everyone else for her shortcoming. Obviously it's the rest of the world who can't fuck worth a damn.

No one has to go any further than this thread to understand why cruelty to boys gets such a big free pass in the world.

This is by far the only thing that the General Board shares in common with normal society: and it's the insane part.
