Someone made a comment about why Christians are stereotyped as being bigots. I gave an answer about the Magdelene laundrymats that finally shut down in the 1990's. They would take pregnant women who conceived out of wedlock (even rape victims) and forced them to work in these places for usually their whole life and had their children taken from them. they even took women not pregnant who they feared would get pregnant because they were too pretty (guilty by default?). I called it sexist. _________________

Wow, that's interesting. Never heard about that before. No one has ever feared I would get pregnant, and I'm supposed to be fairly pretty (according to everyone else). I've also never grown up with zealous Christians, so I'm not sure whether I can imagine what that was like or not....
You still didn't tell me about the "houses" and I'm intrigued now. _________________
Oh the members on the site are grouped into the 4 different houses of the Harry Potter books. Hufflepuff, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Griffendor _________________
It's half Inuyasha, half Harry Potter. The Sacred Flats it's called. Currently teh banner are the characters dressed as the others. As in Ron is Sesshy, Inu is Harry, so on and so forth. _________________
hmm...should I ask watulp and and the others who have accounts here to post here a bit more as well (or at least check up and respond once a day)? I don't want to get caught by CJ though and make her madder. _________________
Seriously guys, why all this talk about "enemies"? Vrap, Lys and CJ are NOT going to be friends again, they've both pretty much made that clear. Stop talking about this stuff! It doesn't help anyone, if anything, it creates enmity! Lys doesn't want to be known as the "we hate CJ site". That's not who she is. Lys, you've done a great job, as good a job as anyone can do. Do NOT feel like a failure because of a forum. There are more important things in life. Just have fun and don't get caught up in all the other stuff.
And Lys, the whole Houses thing is because Harry Potter topics were so rampant, that CJ decided the forum should be about both Harry Potter and Inuyasha. It was a way to escape our favorite troll who thinks they are the GOD of Inuyasha and how dare anyone else try to make a forum about Inuyasha. You know what I mean. By bringing in more HP fans as well as IY fans...it escapes the whole baka competition thing with you-know-who.
Vrap, you even upset me in one of my threads by jumping to conclusions and saying things without reading my whole post. But I was able to get over it without even bothering you with it. I just think it's better to keep drama in PM's so that it doesn't upset other people reading it. _________________ It's just four more miles. Everybody smile!

It's hardly just the forum that makes me think "failure"... but enough of this! I'll be fine with whatever anyone cares to talk about. After all, we need to talk about SOMETHING, because this place is barely alive.
