A Downside to the Internet

I do agree with your take on this but it is not just the men. The whack job women make just as sick and disturbing news headlines such as Catherine Goins of Georgia, Carol Coronado of California, Julie Powers Schenecker of Florida, Saiqa Akhter of California, Lisa Cochran of Missouri to name just a few. The problem isn’t isolated to just men, it has infected humanity as a whole.

Giselle Minoli   The COO should have killed this animal. Why should taxpayers support him now for the rest of his life? 

WAS THE FIRED MAN A MUSLIM?

Perhaps R. Harlan Smith…but it seems to have been recycled as a particularly bare bones form of violence. No technology required. A knife. Well, and an iPhone….

the common word to all these terrorist activities is “Muslim” extremists. It has happened in UK, Australia, France, and the US 

And the sad part is that this is just the beginning. 🙁

I do Andy Giesman. I do. But I am not sure “raised” is the word I would use. I don’t believe those women have a choice…

Sigh, Brad WolF…there is no lumping…there are boatloads of good men…but they do not seem to be able to stem this tide of violence, do they? Nor do the good women. But, forgive me, I know there are violent women, but I have not yet read a report about one of these massive terrorist organizations being run by women. As I say, forgive me for that observation.

TALK ABOUT GETTING A “HEAD” START, WITH YOUR NEW RELIGION.

Interesting that the New York Times doesn’t even mention that he was a Muslim or the reason he was fired: an argument over whether women could be stoned. And I’m not talking about getting high.

Well like school shootings and any big news events…once it happens once the media outlets are quick to report on similar events. Creating News buzz so we or in this case Giselle Minoli posting online so we react and talk about it. The newspapers did the same, it’s just easier to report and spread with the internet and social networks.

Terrorist have learned how we connecting people will quickly share something and make it easier for their BS propaganda to spread.

So yes like Caturday we will have a Beheading report once a week, until the next trend comes along…..

He is a terrorist, recruiting for islam, they are here in the USA and you should not be so lax, this is what they do, and he didn’t do it because it has been publicized,  he did it because he was taught to period. No more excuses for these jerks!

God help us!!!

It is not just the men. Women are doing it too. Several joining radical Islamists.

The man who realizes that he’s lost the intellectual argument and has run out of thoughts altogether, is the man that results to violence to prove that he’s right: That’s the history of the Islamists and the Roman Catholic Church. I thank God that I’m an intelligent Protestant who doesn’t have to resort to violence; cuz I’m RIGHT and WORDS are all I need. 

Catherine Benjamin WOW! I THINK YOU HAVE SET IN MOTION A WHOLE NEW CRAZE!

Michael De Marco Ya…just might set off a world peace movement…again.

What a sicko

Thank you Ryan Mox I appreciate your kind words.

Derrik Johnson thank you. I’ve been on G+ since the second week and I am so used to seeing these accusations any time any woman raises these issues. It doesn’t scare me in the slightest. 

In some paces it is difficult for women to do that Derrik Johnson. Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head for wanting yo be educated, certain cultures shoot women for going outside, there is a huge domestic violence and date rape problem…and none of these issues are feminist in nature…they are about our core humanity.

I am sorry for you and your family. I don’t know how one processes that experience. And I don’t know how the family in Oklahoma, or those in France or England and scores of other places process theirs. I wish speaking up were the answer..

Hi Michael Rutherford. Yes…of that kind…perhaps…but of this other kind? This globally charged kind? Some would say ’twas always thus…but…isn’t there a danger of talking oneself into believing that it’s always the same? And maybe that’s why it exists? Even in the world of pro football there’s a movement for a less rough sport…

http://www.nonviolentcommunication.com/aboutnvc/aboutnvc.htm

HORRIBLE… :((

Dana Blankenhorn I’m not sure what stage we are at with it. I read an article yesterday that documents how all such movements come to their natural end…but I wonder at what price, particularly when they keep being replaced by yet another and another…

If incarceration, or state sanctioned murder worked, there would not be a continuation of problems. Violence makes violence. Violence isn’t just physical brutality.

I swear by LOVE. Love island maybe is what is needed. Each offender gets a team of folk, each offender learns nonviolent commnication, which is not just a technique, but a way of understanding oneself, and

I would suggest Ryan Mox you put that question to several of the other men on this post who do not share your view. Perhaps you will be more polite to them and less attacking.

Good morning guys

Giselle Minoli , you made the sexist comment, own it. Perhaps we would rather say, “Muslims are the ones running terrorist organization and what’s wrong with them?” But that would be some kind of non pc wouldn’t it, and you would see the problem. And yet, it would be more specific to what actually happened. “A male, muslim man, beheaded someone.”  But I don’t blame males, nor muslims. I’d prefer, “Some asshole.”

By they way, a Man stopped it from happening to a second woman. So there’s your good man doing something about this shit. 

Wait for it… within 3 days Obama will again remind you that Islam is a peaceful religion (which is true for most Westerners), but totally understates the dangers of Jihadist. The Jihadists are more relivant as a danger that Americans becoming vigilantes.

Hi, Brian Titus. It is astounding. The word itself is revolting. Don’t get me wrong, all of what we have been seeing is so deeply disturbing, but there is something about this particular act…I don’t know, perhaps as was suggested by the gentleman, Don Nesbitt, way up above…the severing of our heads from our hearts…the separation of the parts of ourselves that can find a way out of this “terror”…I can’t help but note the metaphors because they seem so obvious to me.

Ban knives – solved it.

Giselle Minoli I wasn’t even a little bit serious – bans are idiotic, they ensure only criminals possess whatever you prohibit.

deborah rabbit white…before I forget because it’s getting late here…thank you…

Michael De Marco Not that it should matter, but he was a recent convert. I’m sure that it will be brought up at his trial that he was persecuted and felt that he had to retaliate under Islamic law, or some stupidity like that

Daniel Buchner I KNOW you were kidding…but you made me laugh. Thank you for that!

Michael Rutherford that is so interesting and I think a wise observation. But I wonder if the drama of the videos didn’t add to that in some way…I mean what would the reaction have been had the incidents been reported merely in words without attendant videos, which were then taken down. Thus my comment about the Internet. Media or not, the Internet is its own thing and I wonder if they can be untangled in this day and age when anyone can be a filmmaker distributor and anyone a journalist.

Giselle Minoli You’re seriously blaming this on the internet? Get real! You can’t turn on the TV without EVER Y News channel covering whatever violent act occurs. Violence isn’t to be blamed on the media either. Ancient religious texts are some of the most violent texts available such as the bible and the Quran just to name two. The prophet Muhammad’ specifically calls for the beheading of infidels. Any Muslim could take the text to literally and go that route just as some people here in America take the bible too literally and do cruel violent things.

The internet isn’t to blame for Muslim violence. Guns aren’t to blame for violence. Vehicles aren’t to blame for drunk driving related deaths. Pencils aren’t to be blamed for grammatical errors. The individual is responsible for their own actions.

There was so much talk about the videos. My guess is that not many people actually saw them. All of the reports that I saw showed one still picture. So, the majority of people’s impressions came from the words used and the still picture.

At this point, who knows if Nolen was influenced by that or not. I’m sure we’ll hear much more about it later.

In any case, the internet is just an efficient transport. If not for the internet, you’d just go back to TV, newspapers, radio, etc. and get the same message. Just a little slower and at a little less frequency.

Yay! No the liberals can go after knives !

Knives kill people !

And my condolences to the family of the slain and injured.

Remember the landlord lady that chopped up her tenant ?

Michael De Marco yes they said he converted to Islam, but i think he was oppotuned to meet some of the sponsored terrorists disguising as muslims. I’m a Muslim and I’m strongly against beheadings because my faith doesn’t advocate criminality. So he should face justice.

William Smith Sorry, buster, but Sharia law does NOT BELONG IN THIS COUNTRY! If you want to live under Sharia law, move to the Middle East. You don’t belong here.

Dorain d

So tell me, when did the Republicans start to behead people, or chop off their hands, or advocate forced marriage of prepubescent girls executing homosexuals? Oh, they haven’t.  But you will find plenty of Democrats who jump to the defense of people who do these things.

As we complain about the world and the internet… You post something horrific and make it public on the internet.. wtf?? Kind of contradictory if you ask me!

Giselle Minoli thumbs up to Ryan as for my opinion to much of our taxpayer dollars are being wasted on the wrong things a45acp hollow point would save us a lot of money

Hi like ur comment on this replacement

Giselle Minoli – I think that saying he wouldn’t have committed this act had it not been the internet is a false assertion.  For that to be true, crimes such as this would have to not be represented elsewhere, this is simply not the case.  Television, radio, print, and yes, internet/digital media all cover similar stories.  If the internet were to have never existed the rest of the news media would have made sure to publish/publicize/present decapitations as news.

It’s the same type of assertion that was made more than a generation ago regarding television: “Television will turn our boys into violent criminals!”  It ignores the fact that there were many violent criminals all through history, media need not be present.

Regarding your gender related question: It’s not an unexpected question given the lens much of online and television news loves to view men through, portraying the most barbaric light (not that decapitating someone isn’t barbaric).  On its own, this story is one crazy man who was shot after decapitating a woman.  When viewed alongside other news stories featuring men, you’d be right to wonder if there’s some sort of mental ailment epidemic among men that causes them to act like uncivilized animals killing and maiming everything they see, especially women.

The problem with that question is that it ignores the possibility of a polarizing narrative purposely being brought to the attention of the masses.  If you want to get clicks, likes, ratings, etc, find a story about a man that does something gruesome so that the conversation of male barbarism can come up.  Another way to get those same clicks, likes, ratings, etc? Find a story about a beautiful woman, scantily clad, so that the conversation of female objectification can be had.  Stirring controversy without a clear path to a constructive discussion is precisely how the news media survives as it does today.

On another note, there’s nothing wrong with your questions. 

Dorain d don’t you have some dishes to do?

It has started! It already happened in London

Another downside to the Internet is that I don’t believe anything reported to us, anymore. New York Times? I’m not saying that this incident didn’t happen, just as I wouldn’t say that 9-11 didn’t happen. But, I am saying that I, personally, believe that, like 9-11, it’s a false flag. What a coincidence that the man is a Muslim convert. Islam is the primary tool for American empire building and rule by fear. Watch for more coming to a theater near you.

By the way, here’s ISIS’ website. It appears a privatized “Intelligence-Black Op for Hire” organization headquartered right here in Washington D.C.

Psycho.

I meant all these people doing all these be headings! I am not calling anyone in particular a sick fuck! So don’t get excited

Morning, Brian Tomlinson. I’ve been watching a beautiful sunrise. Reading your thoughts reminded me of a long conversation I had decades ago with a man who had been a grunt in Vietnam Nam. I had always been sort of fascinated by that word. He was a physically big man…strong, powerful, more than a little imposing. He talked very openly about his long “battle” with PTSS…and he talked at length not only about his belief that our souls are not designed to handle, experience, process and move beyond the things soldiers are asked to do in war, nor are the rest of us capable of processing the imagery left over. I remember him getting very quiet and talking about his son, how he didn’t know which way to go with teaching him about life….does he tell him about the experiences he had had, or does he shield him from every bad thing? He was filled with remorse and agony.

Remembering that conversation reminded of another one I had had with a man who had been a marine. A man had jumped out a window in NY and the police were having a hard time keeping people behind the police barrier. They all wanted to see. And this man said that if those people straining to see had been through what he had been through he doubts they would want to see that body lying there. He was a profound advocate of censorship in some forms..and echoed the opinion of the man above I just described…that human beings are tremendously fragile but would like to believe they can handle anything.

You know me, Brian Tomlinson…when I post something I am truly bothered by it. I don’t believe that we are capable of processing endless information. I think these things go into the soul of our worlds, our cultures, our hearts, our communities, our families, and change us in ways we can’t even wrap our minds around. That is not a call for censorship or silence or curtailing of print, media, Internet, photography freedoms. But, as I watch the sun rise…I still ask the same question and still say that the world feels increasingly violent and to me.

Giselle Minoli – I can understand your viewpoint, I was just disagreeing with the assertion that this crime is somehow attributed to the internet, hence why I brought up other forms of news consumption.

I do agree with your over-arching feelings on the matter, the world does appear more violent than ever but I think that is mostly to do with the narratives given via the media.

This will sound silly, but if you ever want to be reminded about how wonderful humans can be, watch the documentary “Craigslist Joe” on Netflix if you haven’t already.  While I know firsthand the cruelty that humans are capable of, I think it’s a disservice to not also recognize the immense kindness given by the vast majority of humans.  The news gains ratings by flooding information channels with “bad news”, but that doesn’t mean that the 1% of events that happen in the world that they show are all there is.  The other 99% of daily human interaction is peaceful and even beautiful.

It’s because I know you and respect you that I commented as I did and do now.

Giselle Minoli – Then I misunderstood what you were getting at and apologize 🙂

Same to you, have an awesome week 🙂

Good grief everyone, I apologize for all of my typos. I am working off my iPad ’cause of ‘puter difficulties.

I don’t think it’s your fault Brian Tomlinson. People interpret things through their own prisms. There is an upside and a downside to virtually everything. Sports are fabulous…yet you can injure yourself seriously and perhaps forever adversely. Competition is a part of life, but how does one learn to be balanced within it? Starting a business is a great thing, but there is great risk as well.

I know so many parents who do not let their children watch television and do not let them play violent video games. Are they wrong to do so?

Years ago when the Guardian Angels first sprang up in NY, the members would take to movie lines to ask people whether they believed that violent Hollywood movies make people more violent. They got such diverse answers, from emphatic No(s), to insistent Yeses, to Some deranged people, but I’m not deranged! to I just like the entertainment factor, and on and on and on. The question I am asking is not new. It is asked and mulled over every single day: how and what are we affected by in our daily lives by all that is put in front of us. I get that there are those who believe this Oklahoma man would have done this exact same thing anyway. I do not agree with that.

And I have asked publicly before, because I only post publicly, whether there are certain things that affect men and women differently. Not only do I think that question is a fair question I think it is an essential question. It is not feminist to ask such questions…although if it is…then I’m proud to raise it.

It’s not about man v woman or the internet. It’s Muslim-Quranic Action.

Giselle Minoli Do you seriously believe that? Mohammad specifically calls for beheadings so you obviously do not understand the enemy we’re fighting.

Giselle Minoli

for good men to stem the tide of violence created by bad man requires extreme violence on the part of the good men. there is no way around that.

america …keep aware    the next few months may be pressing for security be aware of your surroundings ….god bless us please!

what ever became of Love Thy Neighbor.

Violence incites violenc

when your gone who will carry on? Mass production

Love yourself-pass it on to your neighbor. If you do not love yourself you can’t love others !!!!! PASS IT ON

Blaming this on the Internet has no merit in my book. I blame it on Hollywood movies and South Park!

How bout this whole story was made up….Sandy Hook,Boston Bombing etc etc…..Problem…… Reaction….. Solution……

He saw it on TV : Monkey see Monkey Do

Fuck gun control, lets do muslim control

How many women, Robert Grun? I am curious.

I survived 9/11 Giselle and think this country is not doing enough to prevent another attack. I think ISIS already has its sleepers in place for an attack.

Robert Grun i wonder if they have to go through a little fgm to join? That would be typical of those nazi cunt jew arab child molesting sand niggers!

do you kiss your  mother with that mouth?

I am a peaceful guy Giselle. I agree with you that it is mostly men that do the killing. I worked at the World Finl Ctr on 9/11. My building had a lot of stuff blown into it when we evacuated. I ended up outside of tower two. I was frozen watching the people jumping from the building when the second plane came in above us hitting the tower blowing myself and others off our feet. I have not been back to the city since the attack.

I believe in a higher power Sergio but not that religious of a person.

Robert Grun that’s fine with me bro, whatever floats your boat. I’m simply stating that I detest religion’s emphasis on everybody but you being incorrect. Christians say that Muslims are incorrect, and vice versa, and this severely hinders cooperation between these two.

Way to be sexist and blame this on men.

Robert Grun That’s a great outlook man, if only there were more people like you. I mean, that’s the thing that turned me off to religion. My family and I were Jehovah’s Witnesses (not of my own choice, I was forced), and I began to notice it. They always said “love your fellow brethren” and then begin to state how the “people of the world” (narcissistic, right?) were not good acquaintances to have. I was never allowed to have friends who weren’t JWs, because they were inherently evil somehow, even if the majority of the people I knew from the “world” were better people than the JWs I knew. Know what I’m getting at?

Robert Grun did you ever think to yourself that you deserved to be blown up for allowing for a drug war to cause the attacks? Who funded the 911 attacks? The ignorant women of planet earth who allowed Satanism (jews are satanists) to wage a drug war that funded the 911 attacks. My best suggestion is to kill yourself because those nazi Jews that planned and executed the 911 attacks to launder their Clinton/Bush/Vatican/mossad drug money missed their mark.

Gabriel Rivera woah, dude. He didn’t deserve to die by any means, any more than you and I do. After all, I’m getting back to the whole “who’s opinion is correct?” thing. You believe that it was a conspiracy of sorts, while I believe that it was Muslim extremists. After all, if you’re going to believe that the gov’t did it, why not topple them? The reason is that you aren’t sure yourself, and that’s a good thing. Just like I am not sure that it was Muslims, because those who know the whole truth are unfortunately dead. Or, maybe not? We’ll never truly know.

Gabriel Rivera I’m not satanist. Also, I am strongly opposed to Muslim extremism and in fact hope that the US does more to eradicate that filth.

Sergio Garduno Tried it. Failed. We can’t give people their freedom. They have to take it. We can help — the French helped us. But if we try to go in with ground troops we’re going to get the same fail Bush got. If you’re supporting the death of 4,000 Americans in a conflict we can’t win, I say no. 

Sergio Garduno I appreciated your comment. To be honest, I am not sure what it means to be labeled an “atheist” any more than what it means to be labeled a “feminist.” I have lived, perhaps, what outsiders would call a feminist life – because I have had to. I had to leave home very early to work and take care of myself and in so doing I became acutely aware of the issues involved in this movement called “feminism.” It is a word that scares a lot of people, but perhaps that is because they haven’t either lived closely enough to the issues to fully understand them or because they don’t want to. Either way, if I am called one because I think little girls should be educated in Pakistan, then fine, I am happy to be one. If I am called one because I post about the Anti-Violence Against Women Act, then fine, I am proud to be called one.

But…I have read all of your comments and while I understand (I think) why you call yourself an atheist, there is what would nowadays be called a clearly spiritual focus there.

I would ask you: is that what needs to be intact in order to not pursue a violent life? As opposed to a specific religious tie that is? 

Giselle Minoli once we learn to love for the sake of loving and do good for the sake of doing good, we will do so automatically, and we will learn to love each other. There’s a quote that Orson Scott Card uses in “Ender’s Game”: ” In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves.”

Chaz K because we’ve relied on religion. See, religion brings about this self-righteousness in humans. We begin to believe that our opinions are fact, and proceed to kill the “heathens”, the Crusades, Muslim Extremists, etc. Once we understand that our beliefs are inherently incorrect, we become humble and respect one another a lot more.

Chaz K after all, I understand that I am a very imperfect person, but I strive to become a better person however I can, because I want to. I don’t fear hell or look forward to heaven, I look forward to being a great man and being loved as well as loving others. Sure, it’s a bit anti-climatic, but it’s more realistic. Now, if there is by any chance a heaven (I accept all possibilities, because I know that humans aren’t omniscient), then I’d like to get there for being a self-made decent person. However, I don’t go to heaven not because I was necessarily evil but because I didn’t believe in god? There is something very wrong with that. After all, I don’t believe in Zeus, simply because of Greek mythology. I’d believe in him if I saw him, but nobody has done it ever since humans developed reliable ways to record history (how convenient).

Sergio Garduno what you are describing to me is the essence of fear: the Great Unknown. What’s going to happen. What will become of us? What will we lose? What will we gain? Will I be one of the chosen? Or will I be cast into Hell? Will I be powerful? Or will I walk with the cockroaches?

Then the deal making begins – with imaginary gods, imaginary icons, imaginary devils…imaginary and assorted virgins, etc., etc., etc.

I’m with you: work hard – work hard to be a good and conscious person, work hard to have a productive and constructive life. Work hard to create, not to destroy. Work hard to conserve and preserve. Work hard to evolve, not devolve.

This violence we discuss is the antithesis of productive and constructive, IMO.

Just as love can be blind, hate can be blind……and gender non specific.

What does Islam have to do with this

Robert Grun No one had heard of ISIS or ISIL whichever it is 6 months ago.It was funded by the US don’t ya know.How many fucking boogiemen do the powers that be have to create before people like you wake up to the fact that its just a reason to start a War,its been going on for around a decade,remember…Weapons of Mass Destruction ? Well they found ZERO.America is on a Middle east tour of War….WAR MAKES LOTS OF MONEY FOR THE ELITE….Obama is just a PUPPET for the ELITE BANKSTERS.

Chaz K I have read the Quran, the Bible, Joseph Smith’s story, and quite a few others. I was raised as a Presbyterian but once I got older I was curious about other religions. You might say I’ve come full circle in a way. At this point I choose to have faith in Jesus but in a non-denominational manner. What I’ve found in my research is human nature almost always takes over and distorts what ancient religious texts actually mean. I don’t need nor do I want a middle man between me and God. In my opinion Mohammad is just another example of man distorting and taking advantage of people’s faith for self-serving reasons.

Bill Collins. Sigh. Had I been here thousands of years ago, I would have asked the same question…though no one would have heard it!

michael henne kudos Michael awareness of your surroundings is foremost and hesitation will get you killed. The infidel.

stewart watling You’re completely wrong about no one knowing who they are. ISIS, ISIL, IS, or any of the many many other names they’ve used up until now have been known to exist for a while. The government has probably known of them much much longer. I first heard of them through Al Jazeera news almost a year ago. If you truly want to know what’s going on in this country and around the world then you can not depend on just one single news outlet. I myself keep up-to-date with many news outlets both here and abroad. I can assure you you’d be surprised by how much the differing news outlets contradict one another.

Megan Hale You only addressed one aspect of my comment.So what if IS has been around for 50 years,why now is it such a threat,bit coincidental,plays in perfectly to the Elites Agenda.Who believes all this crap,i mean ok they defeat IS….whos next ? What about Fucking GAZA….,ISRAEL are committing Genocide yet IS is the BIG threat.ISRAEL is the BIG threat,always has been.Why no Action by Uncle Sam over there ??? Geez how coincidental…the US gives ISRAEL 3.1 bollion a year in Military funding,aiding and abetting ( sic ) Genocide.

Thank you ALL so much for continuing. Reading everything and catching up but against a deadline and no time to respond back at the moment. Thank you!!!!

I had made a similar comment much earlier in this thread Herb Wells about the KKK. There are scores of other “extremists” groups and it is why I chose not to mention religions, sects, cultures, races, but rather to focus the issue on violence. Now I am wondering about the relationship between “extremist” and violence… I understand (I think) your point, yet it isn’t all driven by religious beliefs (I’m not saying you are claiming that). At the moment I’m thinking of all of these school, movie theatre shootings in the States (Columbine High, Aurora, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook…), which were not inspired by religious beliefs, but by some other kind of rage.

The whence comes such rage issue interests me…because I don’t think that just because it has always been thus, or just because it’s been around for thousands of years that we should accept that, as in Ho Hum, let’s just accept it (and I’m not saying this is your position either, I’m just thinking out loud). We would never, for instance, just accept the Ebola Virus, or Polio, or SARs. We do try to find cures for cancers. When it comes to violence and War, however, we seem inclined to say that it is human nature.

Is it?

I hear you Herb Wells. I feel that as a woman, certain as a woman blogger on G+…if I come out and say what’s on my mind…Jeez…if I just come out and ask a question…as I did on this post, the violently verbal attack machinery is set in motion.

I don’t know if you read the NY Times, but a couple of days ago there was an interesting Op-Ed piece written by a Jewish Israeli woman who reported on how difficult it is for Israeli Jews to express any empathy with Palestinian women and children who are losing their lives. She named a famous Israeli actress who did not appear at a performance she was to have given because extremists had threatened her life.

The silencing thing. There are many kinds of violence. Physical violence is one, of course, but there is verbal violence, and silencing people is also a kind of violence, because it induces fear. 

I would agree with your assessment that we are conflicted. But the issues are seriously complex. It isn’t so easy to figure out what the “right thing to do” is anymore. I’m not so sure it ever was. But the argument, for instance, during WWII is that we knew who the enemy was, where they lived and what they were doing. Now, the argument is that the “enemy” no longer lives in one place, is not identifiable and is, essentially, a shape-shifter.

It still begs the question: from whence comes all the rage??? And, for what it’s worth, a very large part of me has come to believe that for some this is their “job,” as my job is writing and my husband’s is being a surgeon. But I digress…

Chaz K Probably because either they don’t want to,or they can’t afford it…..:) !
