days before we start our trip to the Andaman islands
Apparently, travelling, in order to run away is not such a great thing, but maybe if everything completely sucks, just doing something extreme instead of wallowing in it, has to be an improvement. :)
“Anyone desperate enough for suicide...should be desperate enough to go to creative extremes to solve problems: elope at midnight, stow away on the boat to New Zealand and start over, do what they always wanted to do but were afraid to try.”

Anonymous is not Gandhi https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?%20fbid=459442180808760&set=a.227693150650332.57914.227671663985814&type=1&theater Ghandi didn't dox people. FYI: I am admin MF of Rapebook. See the following link. Also, note that Rapebook is not a hate page. It is a page which raises awareness about hate speech, particularly hate speech against women, such as rape jokes, and jokes about domestic violence. Would those who are concerned about women's safety put women's contact details on the open internet like what you have done, Anonymous? Anonymous, it is astonishing that you actually believe that I deserve this, for speaking out about rape and violence jokes. https://www.facebook.com/AnonymousNewsNetwork/posts/314956401965053 Also, see the following link to

This had happened before, but never with such organized force. : : A little background I lacked at the time: Anonymous was not formed to carry out an antifeminist agenda. Anonymous exists to create hostile chaos on the web—or, as Anonymous itself likes to put it, to produce “lulz.” Lulz, a corrupted form of “lols” (chat-room speak for “laughing out loud”), at its simplest translates to “laughs.” It’s used by a group of websites and message boards that are dedicated to a very particular brand of humor. What brings on lulz? Teenage suicide attempts, obscene experiments in Photoshopping, and anything else

''GUEST POST: Is God a “He”? And Why This Question Really Does Matter by Meagan Manas'' Quote from http://manmadegirls.com/guest-post-is-god-a-he-and-why-this-question-really-does-matter-by-meagan-manus/ Posted on facebook page, of the author of 'The Girl God' - http://www.facebook.com/thegirlgod By me: According to the patriarchy, god is a he. Religion is supposed to be about spirituality, and I think anything which tries to reduce us as women hinders us, when it comes to getting in touch with our spirituality. - These days, I think world consciousness is on the verge of moving forward in many aspects. What is stopping it in my opinion is the resistance of people, to focussing on individuality. People are spending way too much time and energy on combating resisting power systems, and not enough on creating ways of life and living.

Who and what is Censored? I think, who and what gets censored and how much, depends on whether they can lean on the support of systems such as patriarchy, religion, nationalism, capitalism... Those who say or do something that does not fit within the boundaries of the established power systems have a long hard and risky struggle to be heard or even to exist. This explains things like why the feminist pages on facebook are constantly under threat, while the rape jokes prevail. Censorship largely has more to do with power than with morals. By me ''Also, melissa flaherty, I would argue morals often have more to do with who has the power than what is "right." But yes, good points.'' By Steven Simpson Propaganda and Hate Speech Indeed Steven, that is what I said but

We bought the plane tickets yesterday. We fly to Delhi, India, via Moscow, on 1st August, 2013. We will travel overland from Delhi, to Varanasi, to Calcutta. Then we will take a boat to the Andaman islands. We will stay on the Andaman islands for around 5 weeks, before making our way back to Delhi overland for our flights home. There was something really nice about buying tickets to someplace hot, while looking at the snow comming down outside the travel agents window. See the top of my profile page, for a counter showing how many days before the trip. - http://www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/Mell/ To be researched: Is it worth buying the train tickets for overland in India, online? Would it cost more than buying them at the train stations in India? If anyone has information about this,
