Before you become sexually active, you should think about a few things. If you're already sexually active, it's still okay to stop and ask yourself the following questions:

Why do I want to have sex?

What types of sexual activity am I interested in?

What type of safer sex methods will I use?

What type of contraceptive method will I use?

How will I communicate all of this to my partner?

Remember, it's always your choice if you will or will not be sexually active. No one should ever force you or try to persuade you to engage in sexual activity against your will. For more information about sexual assault, visit the Haven Project website.” “Sexual responsibility means making informed decisions and safer sex choices (including abstinence). Being sexually responsible involves respecting your partner, having open communication about all forms of sexual activity, as well as taking precautions against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HIV, and unplanned pregnancy.” “If you choose to engage in sexual activity, remember safe sex is not always enough. You should strive to practice safer sex. There are many components to safer sex, including:

Understanding your choice to be sexually active

Being informed on sexuality, sexual health, and the components of a healthy relationship

Having the ability to communicate with your partner, which includes receiving consent every time you engage in sexual activity with your partner

Taking extra precautions to protect yourself and your partner from STIs, HIV, and unplanned pregnancy.” Sexual responsibility means Time, Support, Mutual Respect, Honesty, Trust, Equality and Fairness, and Good Communication. Sexual disorders happen anywhere and everywhere and that should be taken seriously (for examples

“Non-monogamy is the practice of engaging in multiple sexual or romantic relationships simultaneously. Nonmonogamy can be practiced in ways that are generally considered to be ethical or non-ethical by those in non-monogamous communities. Generally speaking, those in ethical non-monogamous relationships strive to focus on open communication, negotiation of rules, and treat each person involved with the same dignity and respect regardless of their role within a non-monogamous couple or group. Ethical non-monogamy can take the form of polyamory, swinging, open marriages, and other similarly structured relationships. More About Ethical Non-Monogamy

Nonethical non-monogamy is usually thought of as cheating- being deceitful by breaking rules or pushing boundaries set by those in one relationship. Even if the relationship is considered non-monogamous by both parties, it is still possible for one or more partners to cheat. While ongoing debates exist over the importance of rules in an ethical non-monogamous relationship, it is important that each party understands their partner(s)’ expectations, needs, and boundaries. Many consider other behaviors to be non-ethical such as unicorn hunting (a heterosexual couple seeking a bisexual woman to join them for sex or an ongoing closed relationship between the three of them) and hierarchy of partnerships. However these are still being debated by the polyamorous and larger non-monogamous community.”

“Ambiamory is a relationship orientation that sits somewhere on the middle of a relationship spectrum, between monogamy and polyamory. Just as bisexual people can enjoy being in heterosexual or homosexual relationships, Ambiamorous people can be happy in monogamous or polyamorous relationships.

The term ambiamory should not be confused with biamory, which is the ability to fall in love with and have relationships with both genders. More About Ambiamory

Ambiamorous people may find themselves in monogamous or polyamorous relationships, depending on the situation. They might fall in love with a person who is monogamous or polyamorous and decide to adhere to that person’s relationship preference.

They might also start out in one kind of relationship which changes due to circumstances, like a partner becoming jealous and wanting to close the relationship or on the flip side wanting to explore other relationships. People may also transition from polyamorous to monogamous after breakups as they give themselves time to grieve or take time to find someone new. As ambiamorous people can feel comfortable in monogamous or polyamorous relationships, they are more likely to find transitioning from one relationship style to another easier than people who feel hardwired as monogamous or polyamorous.

Ambiamorous people may also prefer having polyamorous or monogamous relationships at various points in their lives. For example, a young ambiamorous person may practice polyamory until they have children, when it feels more natural to be monogamous. He or she may resume polyamorous relationships once the children move out and there’s less need to focus on immediate family.

While little research has been done on the subject, early investigation supports the theories of ambiamorous people that there is a spectrum running from monogamy to polyamory. This research suggests that just like gender and sexuality, there is a spectrum of relationship preferences rather than a binary.”

“A code of silence is a condition in effect when a person opts to withhold what is believed to be vital or important information voluntarily or involuntarily.

The code of silence is usually followed because of threat of force or danger to oneself, or being branded as a traitor or an outcast within the unit or organization, as the experience of police whistleblower Frank Serpico illustrates. Police are known to have a well-developed blue wall of silence.

A more well-known example of the code of silence is omertà (Italian: omertà, from the Latin: humilitas=humility or modesty), the Mafia code of silence.” “A blood feud is a feud with a cycle of retaliatory violence, with the relatives or associates of someone who has been killed or otherwise wronged or dishonored seeking vengeance by killing or otherwise physically punishing the culprits or their relatives. In the English-speaking world, the Italian word vendetta is used to mean a blood feud; in Italian, however, it simply means (personal) "vengeance" or "revenge", originating from the Latin vindicta (vengeance), while the word faida would be more appropriate for a blood feud. In the English-speaking world, "vendetta" is sometimes extended to mean any other long-standing feud, not necessarily involving bloodshed. Sometimes it is not mutual, but rather refers to a prolonged series of hostile acts waged by one person against another without reciprocation.[4] In Corsica, vendettas were a social code (mores) that required Corsicans to kill anyone who wronged the family honor. Between 1821 and 1852, no less than 4,300 murders were perpetrated in Corsica.”

“In ordinary language, a crime is an unlawful act punishable by a state or other authority.[1] The term crime does not, in modern criminal law, have any simple and universally accepted definition,[2] though statutory definitions have been provided for certain purposes.[3] The most popular view is that crime is a category created by law; in other words, something is a crime if declared as such by the relevant and applicable law.[2] One proposed definition is that a crime or offence (or criminal offence) is an act harmful not only to some individual but also to a community, society, or the state ("a public wrong"). Such acts are forbidden and punishable by law.[1][4]

The notion that acts such as murder, rape, and theft are to be prohibited exists worldwide.[5] What precisely is a criminal offence is defined by the criminal law of each relevant jurisdiction. While many have a catalogue of crimes called the criminal code, in some common law nations no such comprehensive statute exists.

The state (government) has the power to severely restrict one's liberty for committing a crime. In modern societies, there are procedures to which investigations and trials must adhere. If found guilty, an offender may be sentenced to a form of reparation such as a community sentence, or, depending on the nature of their offence, to undergo imprisonment, life imprisonment or, in some jurisdictions, death.

Usually, to be classified as a crime, the "act of doing something criminal" (actus reus) must – with certain exceptions – be accompanied by the "intention to do something criminal" (mens rea).[4]

While every crime violates the law, not every violation of the law counts as a crime. Breaches of private law (torts and breaches of contract) are not automatically punished by the state, but can be enforced through civil procedure. The exact definition of crime is a philosophical issue without an agreed upon answer. Fields such as law, politics, sociology, and psychology define crime in different ways.[6] Crimes may be variously considered as wrongs against individuals, against the community, or against the state.[7] The criminality of an action is dependent on its context; acts of violence will be seen as crimes in many circumstances but as permissible or desirable in others.[8] Crime was historically seen as a manifestation of evil, but this has been superseded by modern criminal theories.[9]”. I’m not a killer, never have been, never will be. The streets thought I was due to my being forced to hang out with actual killers. The killers said that they were guarding my parents at their jobs even though they never met and my brother at his school even though they never met. We would wave at each other while my parents and my brother looked the other way. I was spooked by the fact that the killers knew my brother’s full name and my parents’ full names and their physical appearances, and their working professions and my brother being a student. Nothing happens to them because of the killers safeguarding them although my parents and brother did not know that. The killers developed verbal and non-verbal criminal languages to communicate if they wanted me to have some people killed, I’m glad I never went through with that. Patsy means a person who is easily taken advantage of, especially by being cheated or blamed for something, the fall-back, scapegoat, fall-out person. There is a history of criminals going for their guns when confronted by the police, police resorting to aggressive measures whenever that happens, murders on basketball courts, people dribbling over the bodies while still playing basketball, female criminal accomplices “playing their part”, and criminals giving their murder signals to their hitman. I was sensitized to females in laymen’s terms. I would put my hoodie on and off depending upon my environments. Protecting women (honoring them) was my favorite activity to do as a child.

I don’t think Hell is a unbeliever and nonbeliever torture chambers because unbelievers and nonbelievers are beautiful people. “A torture chamber is a room where torture is inflicted.[3][4] The medieval torture chamber was windowless and often built underground, was lit by a few candles and was specifically designed to induce "horror, dread and despair" to anyone but those possessing a strong mind and "nerves of steel".[5] “Historically, torture chambers were located in royal palaces, in castles of the nobility and even buildings belonging to the church. They featured secret trap-doors which could be activated to throw victims into dark dungeons where they remained and eventually died. The skeletal remains of people who disappeared were strewn on the floor of the hidden dungeons. Other times the dungeons under the trap-doors included pits of water where the victim was thrown to drown after a lengthy torture session in the chamber above.[6]

In Peru, the torture chambers of the Spanish Inquisition were specifically constructed with thick walls so that the screams of the victims could not penetrate them and no sound could be heard from the outside. Other more sophisticated designs used principles of acoustics to muffle the screams of the tortured and included walls which recessed and protruded in such a fashion as to reflect the screams of the victims so that the sounds would not be carried to the exterior.[citation needed]

The mere presence of the torture chamber was used as a form of intimidation and coercion. The victims were first shown the chamber and if they confessed they would not be tortured inside it. Other times the torture chamber was used as the final destination in a series of prison cells where the victims would gradually be moved from one type of cell to another, under progressively worsening conditions of incarceration, and if they did not recant in the earlier stages they would finally reach the torture chamber. The final stage of actually going to the torture chamber itself, just prior to the initiation of torture, was euphemistically called the "Question".[1]

“Criticism of religion involves criticism of the validity, concept, or ideas of religion.[1]

Historical records of criticism of religion go back to at least 5th century BCE in ancient Greece, in Athens specifically, with Diagoras "the Atheist" of Melos. In ancient Rome, an early known example is Lucretius' De rerum natura from the 1st century BCE.

Every exclusive religion on Earth (as well as every exclusive world view) that promotes exclusive truth-claims necessarily denigrates the truth-claims of other religions.[2] Thus, some criticisms of religion become criticisms of one or more aspects of a specific religious tradition.

Critics of religion in general may view religion as one or more of: outdated, harmful to the individual, harmful to society, an impediment to the progress of science or humanity, a source of immoral acts or customs, a political tool for social control.” I see so much psychosis in religion because they would blame Eve for misogynoir and transmisogynior. I had similar experiences in the DMV: “The locus of power and organized crime

Edit

Some espouse that all organized crime operates at an international level, though there is currently no international court capable of trying offenses resulting from such activities (the International Criminal Court's remit extends only to dealing with people accused of offenses against humanity, e.g., genocide). If a network operates primarily from one jurisdiction and carries out its illicit operations there and in some other jurisdictions it is ‘international,' though it may be appropriate to use the term ‘transnational’ only to label the activities of a major crime group that is centered in no one jurisdiction but operating in many. The understanding of organized crime has therefore progressed to combined internationalization and an understanding of social conflict into one of power, control, efficiency risk and utility, all within the context of organizational theory. The accumulation of social, economic and political power[195] have sustained themselves as a core concerns of all criminal organizations: social: criminal groups seek to develop social control in relation to particular communities;

economic: seek to exert influence by means of corruption and by coercion of legitimate and illegitimate praxis; and,

political: criminal groups use corruption and violence to attain power and status.[196][194]

Contemporary organized crime may be very different from traditional Mafia style, particularly in terms of the distribution and centralization of power, authority structures and the concept of 'control' over one's territory and organization. There is a tendency away from centralization of power and reliance upon family ties towards a fragmentation of structures and informality of relationships in crime groups. Organized crime most typically flourishes when a central government and civil society is disorganized, weak, absent or untrustworthy. This may occur in a society facing periods of political, economic or social turmoil or transition, such as a change of government or a period of rapid economic development, particularly if the society lacks strong and established institutions and the rule of law. The dissolution of the Soviet Union and the Revolutions of 1989 in Eastern Europe that saw the downfall of the Communist Bloc created a breeding ground for criminal organizations.”

“Moral philosophers have defined discrimination using a moralized definition. Under this approach, discrimination is defined as acts, practices, or policies that wrongfully impose a relative disadvantage or deprivation on persons based on their membership in a salient social group.[9] This is a comparative definition. An individual need not be actually harmed in order to be discriminated against. He or she just needs to be treated worse than others for some arbitrary reason. If someone decides to donate to help orphan children, but decides to donate less, say, to black children out of a racist attitude, he or she will be acting in a discriminatory way even if he or she actually benefits the people he discriminates against by donating some money to them.[10] Discrimination also develops into a source of oppression, the action of recognizing someone as 'different' so much that they are treated inhumanly and degraded.[11]

This moralized definition of discrimination is distinct from a non-moralized definition - in the former, discrimination is wrong by definition, whereas in the latter, this is not the case.[12]

The United Nations stance on discrimination includes the statement: "Discriminatory behaviors take many forms, but they all involve some form of exclusion or rejection."[13] The United Nations Human Rights Council and other international bodies work towards helping ending discrimination around the world.” All of these happened to me in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia): “Donald Cressey's Cosa Nostra model studied Mafia families exclusively and this limits his broader findings. Structures are formal and rational with allocated tasks, limits on entrance, and influence on the rules established for organizational maintenance and sustainability.[177][178] In this context there is a difference between organized and professional crime; there is well-defined hierarchy of roles for leaders and members, underlying rules and specific goals that determine their behavior and these are formed as a social system, one that was rationally designed to maximize profits and to provide forbidden goods. Albini saw organized criminal behavior as consisting of networks of patrons and clients, rather than rational hierarchies or secret societies.[18][19][20]

The networks are characterized by a loose system of power relations. Each participant is interested in furthering his own welfare. Criminal entrepreneurs are the patrons and they exchange information with their clients in order to obtain their support. Clients include members of gangs, local and national politicians, government officials and people engaged in legitimate business. People in the network may not directly be part of the core criminal organization. Furthering the approach of both Cressey and Albini, Ianni and Ianni studied Italian-American crime syndicates in New York and other cities.[179][180]

Kinship is seen as the basis of organized crime rather than the structures Cressey had identified; this includes fictive godparental and affinitive ties as well as those based on blood relations and it is the impersonal actions, not the status or affiliations of their members, that define the group. Rules of conduct and behavioral aspects of power and networks and roles include the following:

family operates as a social unit, with social and business functions merged;

leadership positions down to middle management are kinship based;

the higher the position, the closer the kinship relationship;

group assigns leadership positions to a central group of family members, including fictive god-parental relationship reinforcement;

the leadership group are assigned to legal or illegal enterprises, but not both; and,

transfer of money, from legal and illegal business, and back to illegal business is by individuals, not companies.

Strong family ties are derived from the traditions of southern Italy, where family rather than the church or state is the basis of social order and morality.”

I saw all of these things growing up: “There are three major regions that center around drug trafficking, known as the Golden Triangle (Burma, Laos, Thailand), Golden Crescent (Afghanistan) and Central and South America. There are suggestions that due to the continuing decline in opium production in South East Asia, traffickers may begin to look to Afghanistan as a source of heroin."[133]

With respect to organized crime and accelerating synthetic drug production in East and Southeast Asia, especially the Golden Triangle, Sam Gor, also known as The Company, is the most prominent international crime syndicate based in Asia-Pacific. It is made up of members of five different triads. Sam Gor is understood to be headed by Chinese-Canadian Tse Chi Lop. The Cantonese Chinese syndicate is primarily involved in drug trafficking, earning at least $8 billion per year.[134] Sam Gor is alleged to control 40% of the Asia-Pacific methamphetamine market, while also trafficking heroin and ketamine. The organization is active in a variety of countries, including Myanmar, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, China and Taiwan. Sam Gor previously produced meth in Southern China and is now believed to manufacture mainly in the Golden Triangle, specifically Shan State, Myanmar, responsible for much of the massive surge of crystal meth in recent years.[135] The group is understood to be headed by Tse Chi Lop, a Chinese-Canadian gangster born in Guangzhou, China.[136] Tse is a former member of the Hong Kong-based crime group, the Big Circle Gang. In 1988, Tse immigrated to Canada. In 1998, Tse was convicted of transporting heroin into the United States and served nine years behind bars. Tse has been compared in prominence to Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán and Pablo Escobar.[137]

The U.S. supply of heroin comes mainly from foreign sources which include Southeast Asia's Golden Triangle, Southwest Asia, and Latin America. Heroin comes in two forms. The first is its chemical base form which presents itself as brown and the second is a salt form that is white.[133] The former is mainly produced in Afghanistan and some south-west countries while the latter had a history of being produced in only south-east Asia, but has since moved to also being produced in Afghanistan. There is some suspicion white Heroin is also being produced in Iran and Pakistan, but it is not confirmed. This area of Heroin production is referred to as the Golden Crescent. Heroin is not the only drug being used in these areas. The European market has shown signs of growing use in opioids on top of the long-term heroin use.[138]”

I don’t believe in a God of anger mismanagement. Original sin means Christianizing self-abuse and abusing others, self-abasement and the abasement of others, self-blame and blaming others, self-destructive behavior and others’ destructive behavior, self-harm and harming others, self-hatred and hating others, self-neglect and neglecting others, and self-victimization and victimizing others.

“ I am not shaming out-of wedlock rearing and out-of wedlock pregnancies, but they were commonplace in the organized crime world of church when it came to adultery, paternity suits/tests, child support, deadbeat absent parenting, casual sex, and monogamous relationships. I’m not profanity-shaming, but they church folks cursed a lot (they claim to hate cursing.) I’m not shaming adult humor styles, but they used them, (they claim to hate adult comedy club jokes.) The traumatic parts of the childhood are best described in this link: “https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organized_crime.” I saw similar things: “This rise in cooperation between criminal organizations has meant that law enforcement agencies are increasingly having to work together. The FBI operates an organized crime section from its headquarters in Washington, D.C. and is known to work with other national (e.g., Polizia di Stato, Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police), federal (e.g., Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Drug Enforcement Administration, United States Marshals Service, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, United States Secret Service, US Diplomatic Security Service, United States Postal Inspection Service, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, United States Border Patrol, and the United States Coast Guard), state (e.g., Massachusetts State Police Special Investigation Unit, New Jersey State Police organized crime unit, Pennsylvania State Police organized crime unit and the New York State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation) and city (e.g., New York City Police Department Organized Crime Unit, Philadelphia Police Department Organized crime unit, Chicago Police Organized Crime Unit and the Los Angeles Police Department Special Operations Division) law enforcement agencies.”
