Spai'ns Stolen Babies

[ksst]

I can see the reason for child abduction for a fascist regime. So, you have political enemies who will raise their kids with the same beliefs, you abduct those kids and give them to people who will raise them 'right" and in a generation, ta da, no more enemies. It's similar to what happened to the Aborigines in Australia, although without the fascists- many children were abducted to be raised 'civilized" and never saw their families again. Their families were told they died, or were told nothing and were powerless to find their kids again. When the children grew up they still weren't accepted by society on an equal basis, but they had lost their roots as well. All in all, a very bad situation. We can be a real nasty species. I want to go think on that other thread now, the positive aspects of people, but am having trouble coming up with things.

One positive note is that there are still plenty of people who find the abduction and abuse of children, for ANY reason, to be intolerable. The fact that these incidents are being exposed, no longer hidden under the guise of government or religion, is a positive thing, in my book.

Mine too. Took a hell of a long time, but did come out in the end.

And who knows? Maybe people will learn what facists are, and think for themselves and not give them power.

Well, the thing is, we talk about various difficult topics here, but that doesn not mean that that is all we are!
Look at the way people always try to help each other here, for example.
