The View and Dakota Fanning

[gmarie21]

Did anyone see The View this week and hear everyone (including Rosie’s) view on the rape scene that Dakota Fanning is in? It was actually nice to see that they all were in agreement that it was wrong for Dakota’s mom to allow her to be involved in the rape scene. Maybe there’s a glimmer of hope for the ladies on the show.

Since Rosie joined the View…I watch Gunsmoke which airs at the same time…Much better choice.

There is no redemption for that show!

 

[Lucania]

No, I didn’t see it because I made a conscious decision a long time ago not to watch that show. Joy Behar is just as annoying as O’Donnell. As far as a glimmer of hope goes, I wouldn’t hold my breath. From what I understand, they bash the Church at every opportunity and that dosen’t gel with me. Just my opinion

 

[gmarie21]

My mom watches it, which is why I saw it in passing. It only grabbed my attention b/c it has been discussed on this forum. I was surprised by Rosie and Joy’s reactions simply for the fact that they’re usually so “open” to so many horrible things. I still won’t watch the View because of this, but still, it seems as there is some hope for the hosts individually.

I work so I cannot watch The View. But when I am home and that show comes on I simple walk over to the TV set and change it immediately. I cannot stand watching any of them.

Rosie O’Donnell let a dog lick her adopted baby’s private parts as a home remedy for diaper rash. I’m wondering if she actually believes it was wrong or just needed to feel morally superior on an issue this time around.

I would venture to say Rosie was just kidding, but who knows anymore with that woman.

When I was growing up, our family dog often licked scrapes and wounds that happen to kids. It was no big thing. That was when I learned that a dog’s mouth is cleaner than a humans.

I’ve heard that this is a myth but I might be incorrect.

If I ever commit a crime, don’t send me to jail. Just sentence me to sitting in front of a TV with Rosie tapes playing over and over again. She makes my chest ache and my head feel as though it will explode.

I’m a microbiologist in a hospital laboratory.

DON’T let your animals lick you! Ever. Especially broken skin (rash, sore, etc.).

It is extremely dangerous. Animal mouths are NOT cleaner than human mouths.

We (humans and animals) all carry in our mouths a “normal flora” of bacteria. This normal flora includes varous Strep species, including Beta Strep Group A (yes, the one that causes Strep throat), and Streptococcus pneumoniae (yes, the one that causes pneumonia and menigitis). We also carry Haemophilus sp., Neisseria species (including N. meningitidis, the one that cause meningitis), yeast, Staphylococcus species, including MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staph aureus, the one that kills people), Coryneform bacilli, Eikenella corrodens, etc.

Animals carry some of this flora, including MRSA. In fact, pet vectors are one of the main sources of human MRSA infections. MRSA is no joke. If it gets into your bloodstream (sepsis), you can die.

In addition, animals carry different bacteria, including Pasteurella multocida.

As long as you have a normal immune system, the normal flora in your mouth or your pet’s mouth probably won’t hurt you.

We WANT these bacteria in our mouths. They protect us from infections. When you are given antibiotics, sometimes the antibiotic kills off the normal flora, and other nastier bacteria take over and cause a mouth infection (sores, inflammation, pain), or often yeast take over and cause the painful “thrush” infection in the mouth.

So be grateful for your normal flora.

But if you are immunosuppressed in any way, the organisms in your normal flora can gang up on you and cause an infection.

If you have a break in your skin, most of the time, your body’s immune system will still protect you from infection. But not necessarily. You get a person who is immunosuppressed, and introduce a bacteria, perhaps a doggie bacteria, into that broken skin, it’s possible that the bacteria could cause a localized infection of that skin, and it’s also possible for the bacteria to get into the bloodstream and cause sepsis.

Conclusion of Geek Lecture: Don’t put bacteria where they shouldn’t be put!

Cleaner is relative, that doesnt mean it’s aseptic. Although if it was it probably wouldn’t be good, normal flora can at least attempt to crowd out microbes that won’t be so nice.

Bringing in the microbiologist can be a downer. Just kidding. I suppose dog licking isn’t an approved intervention for diaper rash either?

Since September I have had three bouts of Staph that have landed me in the hospital. Every time the wound was drained, cultured and came back positive for Staph, negative for MRSA.
The ironic part is I work in a hospital. Not patient care, but on computers.
Let me tell you, Staph is not fun. It is painful, time consuming, and expensive. My last occurrance was Thanksgiving and I spent two days in the hospital. Since then there as been a local news report on the increase of Staph infection in the community.

I’m not sure if this means there’s a glimmer of hope for these ladies - I’m more inclinded to think that a fool who talks all the time will occasionally say something that sounds right.

And I also wonder what the HECK Dakota’s Mom was thinking?

Dogs lick things because that’s how God created them. People are different. Should we now adopt the dog’s method of greeting each other? There are post-medieval ways to treat diaper rash that perhaps should be employed here.

Dakota’s mother should not have allowed her to appear in such a movie. But there are endless examples of stage mothers rationalizing their way to riches and vicarious success through their daughters. It’s an ugly thing to watch.

Just look at Yahoo’s “Popular Searches”. They sing. They act. Mom gets rich. They get disoriented.

I started a thread that links to the actual excerpts of the script describing Dakota’s rape scene. Despite being lit only by lightening flashes and not showing nudity, the scene was creepy and troubling. So, yes, it is a bad as we thought it would be. Worse, because it has Dakota dancing suggestively shortly before the rape.

Thanks for setting the record straight here. My Nephew has HIV and he wants a Dog real bad, but his Physician
advised against it. Sorry, back to the topic of this thread

“Creepy and troubling” are the bare minimum adjectives applicable to anyone being raped, let alone a mere child suffering such a violation.

I agree.
