Young abusers

By pendulumopinions

An interesting article from CNN is about bullying - but not from the perspective we're used to. This piece was about the bully, not the bullied. (Personal aside: I don't know how I feel about the "he/his/him" pronoun being used in this piece, though.

Hypocrisy wreaks havoc on innocent believers

By pendulumopinions

Pastor Eddie Long allegedly coerced a 15-year-old into sex on a trip to Africa. He denied allegations from three other men,along with the one mentioned above. Apparently the pastor attempted to tell the young men that his attentions were unique, and special - he tried to tell them that they should appreciate what attentions were being bestowed upon them. The initial accuser first met the Pastor in Charlotte, North Carolina. Eddie Long has been vocal about his stance against homosexuality. This story is quite similar to the story of Tye Tribbet, a Gospel singer who had an affair with a woman in his traveling performer group.

Unnecessary, but so, so good

The circus

World Cup provides inspiration for all

By The Pendulum Sports Desk

Pam Richter Since the World Cup kicked off more than a week ago, there has been talk about the controversial call for the Americans, Spain being upset in its first game, the self-destruction of the French and of course, the horns being sounded throughout the games, the vuvuzelas. While the vuvuzelas seem to be getting the most attention out of any of the storylines at the World Cup in South Africa, let's put that debate aside just for a few moments and focus on the real purpose of the World Cup - an international sporting event at its finest. The World Cup takes place every four years and sets out to find the best soccer team in the world. And ultimately, when all the games are over, a new champion of soccer will be crowned.

‘Hemos olvidado la conversación’: el VIH/SIDA todavía afecta al Sur a medida que disminuye la conciencia

45 años después de los primeros casos de VIH/SIDA reportados en Estados Unidos, la lucha contra esta enfermedad está lejos de terminar, especialmente en el sur del país. Según los datos más recientes de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, el sur representó el 52% de todos los diagnósticos de VIH en Estados Unidos en 2023. "Sabemos que el VIH/SIDA ha afectado de manera desproporcionada a las personas de color y a las personas LGBTQ+ de color en este país", afirmó Jeff Bennett, profesor de estudios de comunicación en la Universidad de Vanderbilt.

‘We've forgotten about the conversation’: HIV/AIDS still hits the South as awareness fades

45 years after the first reported cases of HIV/AIDS in the U.S., the fight against this disease is far from over, especially in the South. According to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the South accounted for 52% of all HIV diagnoses in the U.S. in 2023. "We know that HIV/AIDS has had a disproportionate effect on people of color or queer people of color in this country," Professor of communication studies at Vanderbilt University Jeff Bennett said. "You have many people living in rural areas. You might have distrust of medical providers, you have the social stigma.”
