Since we've been talking about male grooming gangs (Muslims/Asians/Pakistani) I have question:

How many FEMALE Asian/Muslim/Pakistani prostitutes/escorts are there and how does this compare with the White/Christian/Atheist equivalent?

First Reading

Thus says the LORD:

Here is my servant whom I uphold,

 my chosen one with whom I am pleased,

upon whom I have put my spirit;

 he shall bring forth justice to the nations,

not crying out, not shouting,

 not making his voice heard in the street.

A bruised reed he shall not break,

 and a smoldering wick he shall not quench,

until he establishes justice on the earth;

 the coastlands will wait for his teaching.

I, the LORD, have called you for the victory of justice,

 I have grasped you by the hand;

I formed you, and set you

 as a covenant of the people,

 a light for the nations,

to open the eyes of the blind,

 to bring out prisoners from confinement,

 and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness.

-Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7

Responsorial Psalm

R. (11b) The Lord will bless his people with peace.

Give to the LORD, you sons of God,

        give to the LORD glory and praise,

Give to the LORD the glory due his name;

        adore the LORD in holy attire.

R. The Lord will bless his people with peace.

The voice of the LORD is over the waters,

        the LORD, over vast waters.

The voice of the LORD is mighty;

        the voice of the LORD is majestic. 

R. The Lord will bless his people with peace.

The God of glory thunders,

        and in his temple all say, "Glory!"

The LORD is enthroned above the flood;

        the LORD is enthroned as king forever.

R. The Lord will bless his people with peace.

-Psalms 29:1-2, 3-4, 3, 9-10

Second Reading

Peter proceeded to speak to those gathered

in the house of Cornelius, saying:

"In truth, I see that God shows no partiality.

Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly

is acceptable to him.

You know the word that he sent to the Israelites

as he proclaimed peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all,

what has happened all over Judea,

beginning in Galilee after the baptism

that John preached,

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth

with the Holy Spirit and power.

He went about doing good

and healing all those oppressed by the devil,

for God was with him."

-Acts 10:34-38

Halleluia

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

The heavens were opened and the voice of the Father thundered:

This is my beloved Son, listen to him.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel

The people were filled with expectation,

and all were asking in their hearts

whether John might be the Christ.

John answered them all, saying,

"I am baptizing you with water,

but one mightier than I is coming.

I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals.

He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire."

After all the people had been baptized

and Jesus also had been baptized and was praying,

heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended upon him

in bodily form like a dove.

And a voice came from heaven,

"You are my beloved Son;

with you I am well pleased."

-Luke 3:15-16, 21-22

I turned to an old friend of mine to vent, lament and seek comfort

Ive endured lots of abuse from this man, having met him at 15. I am 29 he is 48…I feel like a fool but now I see why no American woman wants him (one faked her death to get out of a relationship…🚩🚩🚩

For real. No Kamala/Hilary voter would call OP a fricking idiot over her being worried Canada could become a part of USA, a country ran by a man who r*ped at least 27 different women.

Edit: people brought to light the fact that more than one woman got r*ped by this pig.

I'm sorry American conservative men are real buttholes. They are literally killing pregnant women here. They have outlawed access to medical care, criminalizing pregnancy, which a woman has no biological control over. It's good he's not your neighbor and fellow voter, since American conservatives are truly dangerous people.

Neighbor what is going on this is bait even for TooManyX

!coons

Such cuties

!animalposters !cats

A very recent friend posted on social media that her biggest fear is to be fat. This is a person whom I met fairly recently and became friends with, just a few months back. I also know for a fact (from her sharing life experiences and old pictures) that she's never been fat in her life, or even slightly heavy. In fact, most people would consider her very thin, now and before.

Things like this make me wonder how the rest of the world perceives me. Is that what she thinks when she sees me? "I'd hate to look like you". I even started considering stop being friends with this person. I know this post is not about me, obviously, but it does say a lot about her values and what she thinks is important in a person. Am I overreacting here? My therapist says that is just her own thoughts that have nothing to do with me, but I don't think she truly understands the feeling, considering she is a thin woman too. I'm just trying to figure out what other people with similar experiences think about this.
