My thoughts on the Duggar scandal

-


I'm pretty sure that all of you have heard about Josh Duggar's dirty little secret...that he molested a handful of females (including his own sisters Jill and Jessa Duggar). He has admitted to the molestations and what boggles my mind is that his family is standing by his side. I totally get that you have to be there for your family through thick and thin, but, if I had a son who violated young girls, I would throw him in jail myself and tell him that he is no longer welcome in the family.
I understand that Josh Duggar's family is uber-religious and all, but I'm pretty sure even God has a line and Josh Duggar has crossed it.

Adding insult to injury...Jill and Jessa are DEFENDING their brother's violation of them, saying that he was just "going through puberty and curious." A lot of guys are "curious" about the female anatomy (it's called being horny). Not all of them go around molesting young girls and their own sisters! There is something inherently wrong with him and he needs serious help.
It has been reported that he did some sort of Christian counseling or cleansing or something. That sh*t don't work! The dude is still a sick f*ck.
When I was going through my whole Christian phase 7 years ago, I remember going through some purity pledge thing and asking God to cleanse me from all of the crap I did in the past. Maybe that whole ordeal lasted a month tops, but one year later, I had one "active" summer, and I was boozing it up. You cannot be cleansed from urges. You just learn which urges are right and which urges are wrong. I learned about differentiating right urges from wrong urges in 10th grade when I had a thing for my Biology teacher. He was new to the district and I thought he looked like Matthew Perry from Friends. I had a big crush on him but I didn't act on anything because...IT WAS WRONG.

Folks, what Josh did in the past is a result of evil. It is the result of his damaging upbringing. This brings me to another thought: a strict Christian upbringing. It is blatantly clear that even the purest families have a few skeletons in the closet. When there are rules as strict as what the Duggars enforce, it is going to clash with biology, especially during those formative years. The Duggars taught their kids that everything that us "outsiders" do is wrong. Having sex outside of marriage is wrong, being gay, lesbian, bi, transgendered is wrong. Being a woman with a career is wrong. A female wearing pants is wrong. A stay-at-home dad is wrong, etc. Putting all of those types of restrictions, and more, on a person is psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, and physically damaging...and as you can see, it can generate a massive sh*tstorm.

My whole point of this is that Josh Duggar's molestations should have been addressed by law enforcement. Hiding this crime was wrong on the Duggar's part. If they had any working mental faculties, they would have brought this to the authorities. Kids need to be punished for committing a crime. Sweeping a wrong-doing under the carpet will not make it go away.
Unfortunately now, it is too late for Josh Duggar to be rightly punished and jailed for being a monster. He basically got away with being a sexual predator. The sick part about all of this is that he has kids of his own. If he did what he did with his sisters back in the day, who is to say he won't do the same thing to his own kids?

The whole thing just sickens me.

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed.
