Re: “Suddenlink Ups the Ante to $10K”
Oh, i do wish people would stop using 'Nimrod" to mean idiot. When Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd "Nimrod", he was sarcastically calling him a great hunter "Nimrod (pron.: /?n?m.r?d/,[1] Hebrew: ?????????, Modern Nimrod Tiberian Nimr?? Aramaic: ?????? Arabic: ??????), king of Shinar, was, according to the Book of Genesis and Books of Chronicles, the son of Cush and great-grandson of Noah. He is depicted in the Tanakh as a man of power in the earth, and a mighty hunter. Extra-biblical traditions associating him with the Tower of Babel led to his reputation as a king who was rebellious against God. Several Mesopotamian ruins were given Nimrod's name by 8th century Arabs[2] (see Nimrud)." Not an idiot. Thank you.

Now imagine you are this man's spouse or child. It doesn't matter so much WHY he is abusive, it matters that he IS, that it does not stop despite all the pleas to the contrary. You still need to seek safety for yourself, for your child. It's a pity he's ill. It's a pity he inflicts so much suffering on others, as well.
