The biological father Gerald Stearn of Amy Acton reported the sexual and physical abuse of his daughter and son to the authorities. This reporting allowed charges to brought against Cledith Arthur. Arthur was indicted and was to be tried for this crime. Amy’s mother in 1978 lost custody of her kids as a result of the indictments.

Amy and her brother’s father Gerald took custody of his kids. These kids grew up in a stable and healthy home and both of them thrived and achieved great success in their lives.

My question is simple why did the biological mother get automatic custody of the kids?

Why not start to give fathers an equal opportunity to prove they can raise their own kids in a healthy and loving environment?

Why are fathers given custody only in horrendous situations like this? The biological mother has been proven to be utterly detestable based upon her Ramaswamy ad.

The father’s advocacy for his kids saved their lives. The abuse would have continued had the father not brought charges against the step father.

The biological mother did nothing to protect her kids instead she abandoned her children and stood by a pedophile who raped her daughter from age 9 to 12.

If someone is opening up their house for you to stay in (for an extremely cheap price, compared to a hotel), the least you could do is clean up the mess that YOU made.

What is wrong with this generation. I have no doubt this new rule was put in place by some stupid Gen Z nimcompoops who majored in social justice.

Its called courtesy. You make the mess. YOU CLEAN IT UP. I don't care where you are, even if you're in a 7 star hotel.......CLEAN IT UP YOURSELF IF YOU MADE IT.

I don't want your opinion. I don't want a Right wing souce that'll claim it's 100% Muslim immigrants. Clearly there is support from French citizens. I don't want a Libtard source either. Something from a truly independent journalist would be great. If Andrew Callahan from Channel 5 had a crew over there, I'd trust his reporting more than anything coming from mainstream media. Is anyone unbiased covering this?

During the George Floyd protests I was an observer (not participant) in two major US cities. I can tell you first-hand that most of the reporting was factually incorrect. 100% of the property destruction you saw was done by 5% or less of protesters. Most protesters were opposing Trumpism with George Floyd as the excuse. Also, a big factor was that most cities were still under COVID restrictions so the protests were the only social thing allowed to happen. If bars, restaurants and workplaces weren't under lockdown, you would've seen far less participation. Key details like this are what I'm hoping to find, not just sensational footage of shit on fire. Why is shit on fire? Agent provocateurs? Anarchist Frenchies? Maybe it is Muslims... in which case, let's see proof. Thanks

My opinion when it comes to the vile crimes committed against Amy Acton by her step father more than 40 years ago is absolutely disgusting and horrendous. Her mother lost custody of Amy and her brother in 1978 when Amy was 12. She fought so hard to reclaim her life and build an amazing career and now is running for Governor of Ohio.

That being said what Vivek Ramaswamy did was disgraceful and disgusting putting Amy Acton”s mother in an ad in which Actons mother called her a liar. What was Mrs Acton accused of lying about? The rape allegations and criminal charges against Actons step father.

Vivek highlighted the allegations and criminal charges and fact that Mrs Acton overcame horrific sexual abuse and physical abuse.

If this doesn’t tank Viveks campaign I would be shocked.

In my opinion Viveks political career should be over and he should crawl back under the rock he crawled out of originally. I don’t like him and I never liked him. He looks like a snake oil salesman and he has always had that persona in my opinion.

Suddenly all the critics and objective thinkers of Peterson reveal their true colours. This sub is filled with bigots and right wing morons, and no I’m not a left wing I’m not any wing at all.
I’m a human, and it’s a bloody bizarre thing to see people on this platform when I open it in the rare time that I have, people using any situation whatsoever to push their own biases, anti-this, anti-that.
I’m not sitting here crying out free Palestine, im sitting here thinking how thick your heads can be to empathise with a genocidal psychopathic nation fighting armless villagers to the point of taking their limbs. You’re a fucking psychopath if you even think it’s justified by using a cheap cognitive shortcut that media has conditioned you with the hammas narrative.
This sub is full of absolute sheep which is the entire antithesis of Peterson’s works.
I came across Jordan because my father passed away early, I didn’t have the necessary guidance from a role model that I needed. I met Jordan in London and got a few pics with him, shook his hand like a gentleman, and had a good talk with him.
As a doctor myself, you can tell when someone’s a good person. You deal with humanity every day, the ugliness and bigotry to the beauty of birth and life — and Jordan has that light and care for humanity — you see it in the way he is brought to tears when people thank him, just as he did when I thanked him.
To have the audacity to sit on this subreddit on his name is a bloody disgrace to the lot of you getting wet at gooning each other off with anti-religious rhetoric.
Utilising France’s protests, a huge PsyOp mind you, to utilise as a scapegoat for your own biases. Have a moment to actually think — why would students, people care about education causing harm?
Why do you think it’s being blamed on the weak, of already displaced refugees? You think they or anyone wants to fight?
Maybe it’s deeper than that. Even if they are may be a good idea for the West to stop the hypocrisy of burning the East to rubble with cheap excuses to hide the narrative of capitalistic expansion of the great Goy machine Benjamin and his Epstein class has built — with YOU as their Jesters, putting the blame on the “enemy” they’ve created to divert the spotlight from their own sins.
I challenge you all, fellow followers of Peterson, to take a dive into your own minds and think objectively.

I'm not running to be a Muslim senator. I'm running for the US Senate and happen to be Muslim.

I want to protect your right to practice your faith as you choose as a Christian man.

- Abdel El Sayed

I think the connection between the church and the state is through the individual. That's how it should work and I think that's why it's kind of worked in the West. You know, getting that church-state separation thing right, that's really difficult. It's not good when they collapse into one another, because you instantly get the rise of like totalitarian theocracies.

And we all know how much fun they are.

- Dr. Jordan Peterson

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed delivered a viral response to a town hall question from a man who reportedly once served as an aide to Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Missouri.

The man who identified himself as “Tommy” shouted from the crowd, asking the Democratic candidate if he would disavow the Muslim Brotherhood. According to video from the event, El-Sayed answered, “Sure, yeah, absolutely.” He then criticized the heckler's assumption of his “dual loyalty.”

Tommy and Abdul exchanged conversation at the town hall, below is their conversation starting from the 3:21 mark.

Abdul: Do you think I have to live by Christian doctrine? Do you?

Tommy: Up to you

Abdul: It's up to me, right? Why? Why is it up to me?

Tommy: Because we have free will

Abdul: Right. Free will, and also in this country, what else do we have? What else do we have, Tommy?

Tommy: [unclear]

Abdul: No, I mean, you're asking me about my allegiance to the Constitution. It's the Constitution my guy. We have a constitution and that constitution guarantees you the right to live by your faith, and guarantees me the right to do the same. And the reality of it is this. I'm never going to tell you what faith you can or can't practice. I want to protect your right to practice your faith as you choose as a Christian man.

Abdul: The only question though is that it seems like you don't want to protect my right to practice as I choose to. So I'm going to ask you, do you disavow any attempt to read any religious doctrine into the laws of our country?

Tommy: I do not.

Abdul: You don't disavow that? So I think it's you who needs to understand the Constitution, not me.

Tommy: [Appears to start leaving]

Hello,

Trying to put myself back together after a very difficult year and delving back into Peterson’s work that came out not long after he first gained notoriety. In your opinion what’s his best work from this period? Personality and its transformations? Maps of meaning? Biblical series? Etc

Thanks guys.
