Question by Buddy R: Is it moral to use violence when protesting an issue?

The couple’s neighbor reportedly placed a No on Prop. 8 sign on the couple’s property, in front of their sign, Gallucci said.

They confronted him about it and fight broke out, Gallucci said. Neighbors called police about 8 p.m., saying the younger man had struck the older couple in the face and head. Paramedics treated the pair, who were then going to seek their own hospital care. Gallucci said the woman’s eye, already in a bandage from recent cataract surgery, may have been damaged.

Worshippers at a Bible-teaching church in Lansing, Mich., were stunned when members of a pro-homosexual, pro-anarchy organization named Bash Back interrupted their service to fling propaganda and condoms around the sanctuary, drape a profane banner from the balcony and feature two lesbians making out at the pulpit.

“Burn their f—ing churches to the ground, and then tax the charred timbers,” wrote “World O Jeff” on the JoeMyGod blogspot today within hours of California officials declaring Proposition 8 had been approved
Another contributor to the JoeMyGod website said, “While financially I supported the Vote No, and was vocal to everyone and anyone who would listen, I have never considered being a violent radical extremist for our equal rights. But now I think maybe I should consider becoming one. Perhaps that is the only thing that will affect the change we so desperately need and deserve.”

A contributor identifying himself as “Joe” said, “I swear, I’d murder people with my bare hands this morning.”
On yet another site, “Americablog,” “scottinsf” wrote, “Trust me. I’ve got a big list of names of mormons and catholics that were big supporters of Prop 8. … As far as mormons and catholics … I warn them to watch their backs.”

I don’t condone violence in any protest.

While you are making a list, why don’t you add those who bomb abortion clinics.

Question by Elizabeth: What have I done to my eye?!?! Completely red and painful. May be contact-lens related…?
Hi everyone

I’m panicking right now like mad… I woke up this morning with a little red blotch on the inner corner of my eye… It was annoying looking but didn’t hurt at all… However over the course of the day it has gotten so much worse that now my whole eye is bloodshot and it has begun to pain, particularly when I move it…

Some of my friends say I have pink eye, but I am scared it might be something worse. I’m a poor college student and haven’t been taking care of myself… I have monthly contact lenses but I can’t afford to get new ones every month.. so I have been using the same pair since SEPTEMBER, and I often make them last 3 or 4 months at a time… also recently I ran out of contact solution so I’ve been re-using the solution in my lens case thing… at least 3 nights at a time..

Is it the contact lens thing..? Today my friend told me doing this could cause some sort of cataract that will make me go blind… I’m scared this is happening to me..

Or could it just be pink eye?

I have a huge dance rehearsal on Saturday and I need to keep wearing these same contact lenses until at least then.

Answer by Seeing Eye
You don’t have a cataract. Cataracts occur on your lens which is inside your eye. You have to follow the instructions for your contacts and change them accordingly or all kinds of garbage will accumulate in them. If you have pink eye (itchy, red, lots of mucus build-up after you sleep) then you should go to the medical center at the university since it is usually a lot cheaper for students. They can give you eye drops. Otherwise, get new solution at the very least.

If it is pink eye and you can’t go to the medical center, use a warm, clean, moist compress on the affected eye. Make sure it is clean.
