On Lovefraud’s Is he or she military? page, we state that 11,000 soldiers actually completed Navy SEAL training, but fraud busters have found more than 35,000 fake SEALs. Now that Navy SEALs have taken out Osama Bin Laden, there are even more frauds, including a pastor from central Pennsylvania. Don Shipley, a real ex-SEAL who exposes the fakes, says it’s not unusual to find members of the clergy pretending to be former SEALs:
“It’s something with these guys who are in a position of trust that causes a lot of them to do it,” he said. “The fact that they are in a position where whatever comes out of their mouth is believed — I think that causes some of them to take advantage.”
Shipley has the cause-and-effect backwards — these frauds are in positions of trust because they can convince people to believe their lies.
Read After Bin Laden raid, fake Navy SEALs are ‘Coming out of the woodwork,’ says watchdog on ABCNews.go.com.

Yeah Oxy,
I mean no offense either, but ….you are losing your touch. If you can’t share more honest joy about the death of a pedophile, then call on me to pick up that banner… I LOVE dancing on the grave of my sire and celebrating the misery he felt as he lay dying. And I feel so bad that I found out too late b/c I missed my chance to hound him into suicide, but at least I could have enjoyed trying. I best I could do was taking a sledge hammer to his gravestone. But at least his final rest was NOT BEAUTIFUL.
Thank you Oxy. God knows what child you saved. Now it’s a beautiful night and I think I will work on my rock garden.

I did not say I led him to kill himself….I said 5 years ago I got him fired from his job working with KIDS and I got him tossed out of my living history group working with kids.
HE WAS ARRESTED AND QUESTIONED ABOUT A MOLESTATION. After the cops let him go home, he killed himself.
I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM KILLING HIMSELF, hadn’t seen or talked to him or done anything to him for several years before that. I DID PASS ON PUBLIC INFORMATION TO HIS EMPLOYERS ABOUT HIS CRIMINAL RECORD….and many of them did choose to let him go due to his criminal record. But again, hadn’t even done that for 3-4 years before he killed himself AFTER HE WAS QUESTIONED BY THE POLICE about a molestation.
As far as me gloating about it…I admit I should not feel that way…but I did NOT DRIVE THE MAN TO KILL HIMSELF.
As far as him “paying his debt to society”—-well, he did his time in prison, but him WORKING WITH CHILDREN IN ORGANIZATIONS OF ANY KIND I THINK IS/WAS TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE AND WHEN HIS EMPLOYERS FOUND OUT ABOUT HIS CRIMINAL RECORD, THEY FELT THAT WAY TOO. I was only legally passing on PUBLIC INFORMATION.
He had NOT explained his criminal past to any of these organizations…. so if you think it was appropriate for him to be working with kids after a conviction for kiddy porn, then I dont’ really want to be a part of ANY organization YOU ARE A PART OF.

Platimum,
Please grow up…better yet, have you tried planting flowers? How about a rock garden? I LOVE them. Esp. gray rocks, flat, boring gray rocks. They make a very BORING garden, but I don’t give up! I know someday I’ll get that exciting gray rock garden flourishing. Give it a try…it’s very relaxing.

NO pedophile EVER pays their debt to ‘society’. EVER. they may do time, but that it is not the same thing. They offend and re-offend – just like my spath will – until the last person who can be conned dies, SHE will con.
it hurts my heart that pedophiles exist – that this mass of ‘humanity’ scars and disfigures so many people. there is in me a groundswell of grief THAT they exist, and out of respect for this horrible dis-figuration of humanity i will not dance on their graves. but that is out of respect for US, not them. I do not give a shit about them. I’d hand out loaded guns in locked rooms.
i gardened all morning. have had enough of potting plants for one day.

My tomato plants are doing well…..and I actually found the neatest rocks covered with gray moss and lichens out in the woods to put next to my plants and herb garden….

I like to use the flat gray rocks for hot stone massage, they hold the heat well and don’t burn the client or my hands. So many uses for gray rocks! They sure do come in handy…
