Wash. couple acquitted in 'caged children' case | Local News | The Seattle Times

Jurors took just four hours Tuesday to acquit a couple who had been charged with unlawful imprisonment for keeping two young autistic boys in a dark room with a cage-like door. Washington couple acquitted from child imprisonment/neglect/abuse even though there sons 5 & 7 at the time were caged 4 the majority of the day!!! horrible beyond belief! so wrong it almost makes me sick!!

Update on life

I know it has been a really long time since my last post but I am definitely going to make a effort to post regularly now that the holidays have past. I am now in my 4th semester at college. This still means though that I probably have anoother six years or 12 semesters to go. I know that seems like a long time for undergrad but I have switched degrees and am either getting a dual mathematics/computer science degree or a computer science/fire science degree. I am still not 100 percent positive which one it will be. Grade was last semester was particularly rough but I am doing better and have a better attendance record this semester, as long as this continues I should do fine.

Well in regards to the holidays, the only thing that seemed to go right was the time I spent with my mom. My dad still isn't getting this aspergers thing, he is stubborn about this and probably will never understand or see it from a different perspective. Really in truth I am not being difficult, I am just being me. I think that my dad thinks you can turn this aspergers syndrome thing on and off but that is just not the case. It is like asking a diabetic to not have problems with there glucose, it is just not possible. Yes there are ways to treat the symptoms and manage the effects but the underlying condition will be there with you for the rest of your life.

Lets move away from that sour subject and because I really don't like the lets point fingers game but before we do I want to state that I made a poor decision which was to leave my dads early but this was mine and his fault.

Finally a topic that I have been dreading over, is the serious possibility that I may end up living a bachelor life. I have thought long and hard about this subject and have come to the conclusion that whatever happens will be the best thing for me. Whether I am a bachelor or married is just something that I should not worry about, there are always more important fish to fry in this big vast sea.

Pathos, Ethos and Logos

Pathos, Ethos, and Logos are usually terms generally reserved for those scholarly or academic types but I believe that even though that they are not in common use currently, they should be in current use. This is because pathos, ethos, and logos have to do with the very core of how we talk to others or persaude others to accept a idea or task. Basically scholars call these the pillars of public speaking. Right off the batI will telll you my primary pillar even though all people use all three, it is still important to be able to recognize your primary pillar. Mine for example is that of logos. If I was forced to choose something else besides that of logos I would prefer Ethos over pathos. Most of the people though, mainly those that the autism spectrum disorders people call neurotypicals (NTs) use Pathos. I bet right about now you are bored and have given up, want to read on to find out the definition, ir have already googled these three pillars. So instead of making a person wait any longer I will define them very briefly for this post and later I will try to create posts that examine each pillar in depth.

Logos- the appeal to logic

Pathos- The appeal to emotions

Ethos- the Appeal to the credibility or character of the speaker
