Most people have wondered how censors can watch so much horrible, degrading stuff without be affected by it, especially the stuff that's so bad that ordinary people need to be protected from ever seeing it.
In what might be the first of its kind, a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is claiming damages for the Post-traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) he is suffering after years of exposure to child pornography.
Const. Michael Wardrope says he was exposed to disturbing videos, photographs, interviews and interrogations as a member of the child abuse and sexual offence unit in Surrey, B.C.
"His mental health was impacted by unescapable images and memories from the files he had worked on," says the lawsuit filed in B.C. Supreme Court.
Wardrope says in the court document he was "flattered" when he was recruited to the unit in 2009. But he says he told his bosses he had three young children, had to commute hours per day and didn't think viewing child porn would be healthy.
He alleges his supervisor assured him that overtime was uncommon and that the amount of child pornography that needed to be viewed was "very minimal and almost non-existent," as the work was, for the most part, interviewing children.
Eventually Wardrope suffered a mental breakdown, and the Mounties dragged their feet for ten months before transferring him to another unit.

I thought a while back he said that he worships Ba'al explicitly instead of Yahweh/El. I was surfing Wikipedia the other day and learned that Beelzebub is a derivation of Ba'al, Lord of the Flies (just looked it up: Ba'al Zəvûv, “bee” being an interesting false cognate that kind of works anyway). Seems fitting for MikeeUSA.
Wikipedia didn't say, but I'm wondering if Asherah has evolved into the Virgin Mary, the prominent goddess figure in Catholicism. Funny how it's always god+goddess duality Paganism all the way down. Now I wonder why Protestants decided on a sausage-fest instead.

Nope. I said the man is referred to as Ba'al (master) of the woman.
Just as Ba'alzebub is the Lord of the flies. The man is the Lord of the woman. There are no spaces in old hebrew.
I worship the God of Deuteronomy (YHWH), not El, not Jesus, not whomever Jesus worshiped (El it seems).
El became an epithate for YHWH after YHWH (the war God) gained full ascendancy.
Jesus seems to call YHWH a "murderer from the begining" and argues against his anti-women's rights laws.
You're just a dumbass christian though and don't know Ba'al simply means Lord/Master/etc.

I think he needs a good long session with a dominatrix, honestly :) A real Ba'al-buster!
