He is a Filthy Scumbag. I saw the piece on 60 Min. and what he did to those girls that were put in his trust is horrible. He broke their trust.

I will have to watch that if I can bear it

I did not want to scare you. Believe me, I have read and seen worse on here. It was just moving because I believe one of the girls had tears and I think it made me more mad than anything else. But I will not try to goad you into it, everyone has their breaking point. I have started watching something and then just turned it off. I also have a very vivid mind so I can almost picture what I am reading which makes things worse. So don't let me stop you from it. but If you feel upset by it, just stop.

thanks for being so awesome. I have definitely seen some of the worst documentaries out there and read some of the worst accounts, but I've been going through a lot lately; for some reason when I'm in that place, I can read things, but watching takes my rage to another level. I have a vivid mind also, but what's perhaps worse is I also have sympathy pains/feelings, so when I read about something happening to someone's body, for example, I can feel it.... it can be rough, but I don't let it hinder my research at all. Thanks again

Wow. We are alike in so many ways. I too feel others sufferings. I have tried to not watch the videos because really I like to read reports more than watch. I can take it in better when reading with my eyes and seeing the words and then my brain remembers at the same time. Somehow it works better for me. I have always been a book reader. No, nothing will hinder me from search either. Thanks for the kind words.

you too :) I'm the same even with learning, I learn way better when I can read at my own pace, whereas with videos I start day dreaming

I think that is the old school learning. The thinking process along with the reading. We are just plain lucky. I will never read ebooks they are boring. Tried to and I was walking around doing stuff in the kitchen, checking the mail, and then I realized I was not concentrating. Back to Real Hard Cover Books.

long live actual books and bookstores!

I would rather have a good book than a movie or tv show. Especially now what we know about the bad actors. I love the old mysteries and Noir from the past. I have read many Earle Stanley Gardner Perry Mason books. Just for fun. I miss reading, spend hours and hours on here a day, but it is so worth it.
