Men don’t suffer discrimination.

Sunday, May 22nd, 2005

I was just reading that Mary Kay Letourneau, the teacher accuse of “raping” a 12 year old student 10 years ago just got married to that same student.

Now here is a case of an adult, who had sex with a kid, got sentenced to 7 years in jail, then got most of the sentence suspended, then got caught having sex with him again, and did not had new charges against her, just had to server the rest of the sentence.

This makes me sick … if this was a man, who was an adult having sex with a 12 year old girl, he would have first never had a 7 year sentence .. you can add another decade to it .. easily .. and if somehow he was caught doing it again .. he would have had the book thrown at him, and we would never seem him outside ever again.

Now, I am the father of 3 young girls, if a bastard ever did that to one of them, he would not need to worry about going to jail … unless they sentence corpses these days .. but thats not the point the point is because this was a woman .. all is forgiven.

I’m all about equal rights .. heck, anybody that says otherwise doesn’t think about it too hard .. equal right means equal benefits and equal chores .. it’s not about just making sure the woman of this planet get paid as much as the men .. they also need to be accountable the same as well.

As a man who defends woman as having the same equal rights as we do, I find it offensive that a woman can do whatever she wants, even rape, and be excuse of it all because of gender .. sorry .. but if thats what equality of rights mean, then we men are are all suckers .. (then again .. I already knew the answer to that)

Same thing happens in the Army .. woman bullied for so long to be able to belong, but they cant go into the front-line and fight .. yes, it’s a man made law, but were are the activists on that issue ?, hey, as I said .. equal right, equal chores ..

Brats

Saturday, May 21st, 2005

We decided to go by the Outlet Stores to do a little shopping, when we got there we went by the children’s play area so the kids could run around for a little bit .. unfortunately they decided not to return the favor.

Within half an hour they started to misbehave, acting up as real brats do.

I am still unsure why, one had had a nap, but she was still refusing to walk at times .. so it’s not as if she was tired, while the other was just on a pissed-off mood ..

The problem with having little kids is that your social life all but disappears .. you cant go anywhere without them acting up.

My kids are very young, one is to be 2, the other is to be 3 .. and I understand it’s a trying time .. but one still get very upset over it, another couple of years and it will be easier I am sure, but for now .. it’s delivery chinese for dinner instead of dinner at a restaurant, and home watching TV instead of Star Wars III on the big screen …

Is it still illegal to sell kids on ebay ??

London Install

Friday, May 20th, 2005

Yesterday I had to go to London to install a new cluster for Pipex

My first surprise came the day before, when I was buying the train tickets .. on peak hour, they wanted 110£ ?? for a return ticket (Cardiff-London) .. so I had to leave an hour later (not peak) and it only costed 50£ ..

Only once before I had ride the tube, so when I got to London I was a bit apprehensive … but after looking at the tube’s map, it was quite clear .. and easy to navigate .. unfortunately, once I was out the tube and the guys picked me up on our way to the NOC .. the traffic in London proved to be the ultimate pain .. I made a mental note .. never to live around Webley central ..

Once we got to the Noc, I could finally get some work done, we had 13 servers (lucky number ?) to setup, and it was a breeze to do so .. well, it was until half way thru the NOC lost it’s connectivity .. it seemed they were under a massive DDOS … yep, some things never change.

Once all the machines were up on the rack, it looked nice .. the picture doesn’t show the black dual Xeon (CP) which sits under the 2 DNS and 10 web-servers very well.

World View

Found one of those sites that set out to define who you are in a few simpel to answer questions (suuuuure)

Seems I am a Existentialist .. no kidding :D

You scored as Existentialist. Existentialism emphasizes human capability.
There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us
to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world
view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Mankind is
condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility.

Family has arrived

Thursday, May 12th, 2005

My Wife and Daughters have finally arrived in the UK this past Tuesday morning.

It was great to see how much the kid had missed me, even the youngest one who is less than 2 years old, and I thought she would have forgotten me.

The only thing that was bad was the fact they came by Gatwick .. on the way home I got stuck on traffic on Motor-way #25 .. it took me 45 minutes to go 30 miles.
