It was illegal to do your wife in the butt several years ago in England. About 5 years I believe.

I can't believe the Greeks didn't rub off on them years ago. Oh I forgot. the English can wear condoms after marriage. The dirty heathens.

A man went to church one day. After the service, he stopped to shake the preacher’s hand. He said, “Preacher, I’ll tell you, that was a damned fine sermon. Damned good!” The preacher said, “Thank you sir, but I’d rather you didn’t use profanity.” The man said, “I was so damned impressed with that sermon I put five thousand dollars in the offering plate!” The preacher said, “No shit?”

Three nuns pasted way and make there way to the pearly gates. As they approach Saint Peter appears and tells them they must answer one question before being allowed to pass on to heaven.

The first nun steps forward. Saint Peter asks "Who was the first man?"
The nun answers "Adam." Trumpets sound and the gates swing open and the nun passes through.

The second nun steps forward and Saint Peter asks "Who was the first woman?" The nun smiles and answers "Eve". Again the trumpets sound and the gates swing open and the nun walks through the gates.

The third nun steps forward smiling and Saint Peter stops her and asks "What was the first thing Eve said to Adam?" The nuns face instantly turns to a frown and she starts scratching her head. She turns to Saint Peter and says "My god thats a hard one". and the trumpets start to sound and the gates swing open.

I don’t know whether I should be proud of these or not. But if I could get this list approved by the FDA, I’m sure I could make millions before the lawsuits set in.

• polycarbobelchamate (goes in hot dogs)
• tri-broccoli-chloride (for anything that already tastes bad)
• essence of fermented eucalyptus gum (canned cake frosting and cough syrup)
• partially hydrogenated sunscreen oil (condiments for outdoor meals)
• yeast benefactors (used in cheap white bread)
• mono-sodium-regurgitate (distinctive flavoring that lasts)
• modified cardboard (crackers, chips, and pastry products)
• artificial sweat and elbow grease (for products with the word home in them)
• perma-stir suspension fluid (great for canned soup and pickles)
• esophomiloputrinate (additive that fights heartburn before it starts)

I had to go off the field from dizzyness as I was hit in the forehead from 70 yards away by a kicked stray football[like a rugby ball for the yanks] while warming up. I hurt a vertibrate, bit a hole in my tongue and shattered parts off a rear tooth. Faaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrkkkkk.

We have a big game in Kanchanburi, Death Railway, The Bridge over River Kway...[all the same place] for ANZAC day at the end of the month. [ANZAC day being the Australian and New Zealand public holiday to remember out war dead and veterans]. So anyway we have about 40 guys touring from Hong Kong to play our team. Overall it will be a great weekend with a large crowd.

If anybody likes a bit of history, POWs included were Aussies, Kiwis, Poms, Yanks from the USS Houston that was sunk, Canadians, Dutch and a hell of a lot of Burmese and Thais were tortured and died under Japanese control in this area. [the nasty bastards].

Actually, Cotties -- UCLA medical school did a study. They determined that, in fact, fingernails do grow faster in warm weather. This was attributed to the fact that boogies do get sloppier in tropical heat. The longer fingernails enable you to remove them before they get to be the size of a small Toyota.

How smart is Your Right Foot?

This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. And you will keep trying at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you can't.

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.

......And there's nothing you can do about it

is? When a man is listening to a woman, the other half of the male
brain is busy picturing what she looks like naked.

How would you feel if your mate came home after spending the night with a member of the world's oldest profession? I think it's safe to say that you probably wouldn't be very happy.

Well, for the first time it has been observed that the male specimen of Homo sapiens is not the only species to pay for someone else's services. Yes, it has been scientifically determined that the male Adelie penguin, which lives on Ross Island down in the Antarctic, also pays for the special favors of a female.

I can just picture it now:

The female gets all dolled up and puts on her sexiest skin-tight tuxedo (what else would a penguin wear?). She then heads out for a night on the town. A potential male customer is spotted out in the distance. She sways her hips back and forth and approaches the gentlemen.

“Hey, honey.” she says in her sexiest Mae West-like voice. “How would you like me to warm your chilled bones?”

The lonely male penguin is attracted to her like steel to a magnet. They agree to terms and do their thing.

Now, I know what you are thinking. (Well, maybe not.) Penguins don't carry cash and they have never been known to carry an American Express card, so just how do they pay?

With stones.

Yes, you read that correctly - stones. Also known as pebbles, cobbles, and rocks. It makes no difference if the payment is sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic. All types of Flinstonian currency are accepted.

Let's get back to reality...

Actually, the Adelie penguins are known to mate for life. At least that is what the male is led to believe.

Every so often, the female wanders off in search of stones to build her nest with. Since there are no trees or grasses to be found in this frozen wasteland, stones make the best nesting material by default. But even stones are difficult to find in this cold climate. Those that do exist are most likely frozen solid in the mud or ice. The stones are of such great value to the penguins that they will steal them from each other, even though they face a high risk of being attacked by the owner of this hard currency (and this currency certainly is hard).

But wait!

The female Adelie penguin has figured out a better way. She exchanges copulations for the stones. The female slips away from her mate and just happens to wander over to the nest of an unpaired male.

Hmmm… What could she be thinking?

She goes through the standard courtship procedure. You know, the usual dip of the head and the coy look from the corner of the eye. If the male shows some interest, she will just lie prone as an invitation to mate. Once the mating is over, she picks up her payment (the stone) and heads back home to her unsuspecting mate.

Believe it or not, this is truly serious science. A researcher named Fiona M. Hunter of the University of Cambridge has been studying these cheating penguins for years. (Why anyone would ever want to study in such a cold place is beyond me. I was once offered a complete scholarship to do my graduate work in Antarctica. All the money in the world couldn't get me there. Instead, I decided to stay warm and chose a different college.)

Hunter also observed ten different females who played an even smarter game. Each of these penguins went through the whole mutual courtship routine, picked up their payment, and just left before any hanky panky ever took place. Oddly, the males showed no aggressive behavior for being denied their pleasure. In fact, these same females actually had the nerve to return for more pebbles. One female managed to get 62 stones from one male in just one hour. (Obviously, she was the Pam Anderson of the bird world.)

And her husband was the last to know…

Very interesting. People and animals really aren't that different when you look at the big picture.

The Top 15 Skylines in the World

1. Hong Kong, China
Metro/Urban Population: 6.8 million

Hong Kong is number one on my list for many reasons: Hong Kong has whopping 39 buildings over 200 meters tall. It also boasts four of the 15 tallest buildings in the world... that's all in one city! Hong Kong's skyline shows a large selection of distinct sky-reaching towers, with beautiful night lighting and reflection. This city exemplifies the post-modern skyscraper and skyline. Finally, the mountain backdrop makes this skyline (as you can clearly see) the greatest on the planet!

2. Chicago , USA

Metro/Urban Population: 8.5 million

Chicago is the birthplace of the modern skyscraper. When Chicago built its first steel high-rise in 1885, it was not the tallest structure in the world but the first example of a new form of engineering that would change nearly every city on earth. Chicago has 17 buildings over 200 meters tall (three of which are among the top 20 tallest buildings in the world, including the tallest in North America). Chicago has some of the finest mid-century architecture and examples of modern skyscrapers.

3. Shanghai , China

Metro/Urban Population: 13.1 million

Not to be mistaken for a space station, Shanghai is a real city! China's biggest and most advanced city, Shanghai was said to be the most cosmopolitan city in the beginning of the 20th century, but lost its glory during the "Mao era". It is now quickly regaining its position as one of the biggest economic powerhouses in the world as well as a showcase of modern architecture. In Shanghai you'll find 18 structures that are over 200 meters tall, one of which is the insanely tall, the 468m downtown Oriental Pearl TV Tower.

4. New York City , USA

Metro/Urban Population: 21.0 million

New York City has one of the densest and most diverse skylines, with a huge collection of buildings and building styles. Thanks to Hollywood's obsession with the city, it is also the most easily recognizable skyline in the world. New York City has an amazing 44 buildings over 200 meters - the most in the world! Home of the famous, now destroyed World Trade Center Towers , the Empire State building, the Statue of Liberty and the United Nations, New York City is the financial capital of the western world. Upon the completion of the new "Freedom Tower " (built on the old site of the World Trade Centers), it may rank higher in this list (depending on how good it looks of course).

5. Tokyo , Japan

Metro/Urban Population: 32.0 million

Tokyo is the world's most populated city. Its skyline has a number of unique characteristics that set it apart from other big city skylines, among them 15 structures at over 200 meters tall (including the Tokyo Tower which changes colors every night). But because of the density and vast size of the city, every corner appears to have its own skyline. With the height restrictions and the required red lights that flash atop all mid to tall-sized buildings make the city look spectacular at night. Tokyo is filled with neon lighting and unique, contemporary architecture, and like New York City is also often portrayed in movies for its aesthetic and eye-catching cityscapes. Interesting fact: Tokyo houses the world's largest fleet of helicopters to get around town if traffic gets too crazy.

6. Singapore

Metro/Urban Population: 3.8 million

One of the best (urban) planned and cleanliest metropolitan cities in the world, Singapore looks like an architectural model city come to life. The buildings cannot be higher than 280 meters due to air traffic control restrictions, but that has added a tall (but not too tall) and consistent building height and space pattern that makes this skyline unique: Three buildings are exactly 280 meters tall and 5 others (8 total) stand at just over 200 metres. The buildings are mostly light-coloured and there is a large expanse of greenery dotted around the city core. This South-Eastern city is definitely in a league of its own.

7. Toronto , Canada

Metro/Urban Population: 5.1 million

Toronto is a meeting place, a crossroads of many cultures and ethnicities. Toronto is downtown Canada, the biggest city in the country with a skyline to match. Toronto has 7 structures in its skyline that stand at over 200 metres, including the astonishingly tall 553 metres, CN Tower, which is often referred to as the tallest freestanding structure in the world. While mostly untrue (because there are taller TV masts in the world), the CN Tower possesses the world's highest observation deck, making this city's skyline one of the most immediately identifiable.

8. Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia

Metro/Urban Population: 1.5 million

This is probably the most impressive city worldwide that has less than 2 million residents. Marvelous modern buildings reach the sky here, and while the skyline is not too dense, it does allow buildings to soar and stand out. Kuala Lumpur has three of the 25 tallest buildings worldwide, including the tallest twin buildings, the Petronas Towers (which are arguably the second and third tallest overall in the world) as well as the 420 meters Menara Kuala Lumpur Tower.

9. Shenzhen, China

Metro/Urban Population: 4.2 million

What was a tiny fishing village on the border of Hong Kong in 1970 is now a buzzing metropolis of over four million people. With 13 buildings at over 200 meters tall, including the Shun Hing Square (the 8th tallest building in the world), Shenzen is a marvel of lights after sunset. You can't help but ask yourself if you are in a video game or in a real city.

10. Seoul, South Korea

Metro/Urban Population: 20.8 million

This city's skyscrapers are divided into many clusters, spread amongst the main businesses and residential districts. Most of the recent growth in Seoul's skyline, however, has been of residential towers over 60 storeys high that are shooting up like blades of grass! There are 10 buildings in Seoul over 200 meters tall and much of the mid-rise to high-rise structures are lined up in a linear fashion, creating a "wall" of buildings like no other. Seoul is where the ancient Eastern world meets the modern West.

11. Sao Paolo , Brazil

Metro/Urban Population: 18.3 million

"What building did you say they lived in?" Finding it in the largest mass of condensed apartment buildings anywhere would be like finding a needle in a haystack. Sao Paolo has a population of over 18 million people! While the buildings are not super tall (with only a single structure at over 200 meters tall) this skyline is nevertheless stacked. Sao Paolo has a fleet of over 500 helicopters, the second largest helicopter fleet in the world.

12. Sydney , Australia

Metro/Urban Population: 4.2 million

Australia's showcase city, Sydney has one of the most recognizable skylines due to its world-famous harbour, often referred to as the most beautiful natural harbour in the world. The Sydney Harbour has many bays, inlets and secondary harbours. It is spanned by the monumental Harbour Bridge , and the Opera House decorates the shoreline like a white flower. The Sydney skyline is world-class with hundreds of skyscrapers in the central business district and many more high-rise buildings in the outlying neighbourhoods. Sydney has 8 buildings over 200 meters tall.

13. Frankfurt , Germany

Metro/Urban Population: 4.1 million

Certainly one of Europe's most interesting cities in terms of skylines, Frankfurt is home to five structures that are over 200 meters tall. These modern skyscrapers are marvels compared to those other, mostly non-existent ones scattered across European cities. The contrast here is interesting: The city combines low-rise, high-density traditional European architecture (some of which is over 1,000 years old), with modern towers that stick out like sore thumbs, but are impressive nonetheless.

14. Dubai , United Arab, Emirat! es

Metro/Urban Population: 1.6 million

Is this a mirage in the Middle East? Seemingly out of nowhere emerges a city in the middle of a desert. This is Dubai, a city that produces only the best modern architecture in the world. Already home of the world's tallest all-hotel building and the tallest all-residential building in the world, AND currently proposed to build the world's tallest building, this skyline might just leap to the number 1 spot in the near future. While the skyline is not so dense, each building is a marvel all on its own. As a skyline it probably can't compete with the larger cities, however the individual buildings in this city are by far the greatest examples of modern architectural accomplishments. All seven structures in this city at over 200 meters tall were built in 1999 or later ! - that's how new this city is.

15. Guangzhou , China

Metro/Urban Population: 4.1 million

Guangzhou is the Chinese name for both the province and its capital city, both of which the English called 'Canton'. This province is the closest to Hong Kong and the language spoken here (Cantonese) is the one is spoken by the thousands of Hong Kong immigrants to North America, (vs Mandarin, the language spoken in Beijing. (Cantonese and

Mandarin are as different from each other as English is from French, but the both groups

can read the written Chinese characters since both use the same pictographs to represent

sp the same concepts.)

When Chicago built its first steel high-rise in 1885, it was not the tallest structure in the world but the first example of a new form of engineering that would change nearly every city on earth. Chicago has 17 buildings over 200 meters tall (three of which are among the top 20 tallest buildings in the world, including the tallest in North America). Chicago has some of the finest mid-century architecture and examples of modern skyscrapers.

3. Shanghai , China

Metro/Urban Population: 13.1 million

Not to be mistaken for a space station, Shanghai is a real city! China's biggest and most advanced city, Shanghai was said to be the most cosmopolitan city in the beginning of the 20th century, but lost its glory during the "Mao era". It is now quickly regaining its position as one of the biggest economic powerhouses in the world as well as a showcase of modern architecture. In Shanghai you'll find 18 structures that are over 200 meters tall, one of which is the insanely tall, the 468m downtown Oriental Pearl TV Tower.

4. New York City , USA

Metro/Urban Population: 21.0 million

New York City has one of the densest and most diverse skylines, with a huge collection of buildings and building styles. Thanks to Hollywood's obsession with the city, it is also the most easily recognizable skyline in the world. New York City has an amazing 44 buildings over 200 meters - the most in the world! Home of the famous, now destroyed World Trade Center Towers , the Empire State building, the Statue of Liberty and the United Nations, New York City is the financial capital of the western world. Upon the completion of the new "Freedom Tower " (built on the old site of the World Trade Centers), it may rank higher in this list (depending on how good it looks of course).

5. Tokyo , Japan

Metro/Urban Population: 32.0 million

Tokyo is the world's most populated city. Its skyline has a number of unique characteristics that set it apart from other big city skylines, among them 15 structures at over 200 meters tall (including the Tokyo Tower which changes colors every night). But because of the density and vast size of the city, every corner appears to have its own skyline. With the height restrictions and the required red lights that flash atop all mid to tall-sized buildings make the city look spectacular at night. Tokyo is filled with neon lighting and unique, contemporary architecture, and like New York City is also often portrayed in movies for its aesthetic and eye-catching cityscapes. Interesting fact: Tokyo houses the world's largest fleet of helicopters to get around town if traffic gets too crazy.

6. Singapore

Metro/Urban Population: 3.8 million

One of the best (urban) planned and cleanliest metropolitan cities in the world, Singapore looks like an architectural model city come to life. The buildings cannot be higher than 280 meters due to air traffic control restrictions, but that has added a tall (but not too tall) and consistent building height and space pattern that makes this skyline unique: Three buildings are exactly 280 meters tall and 5 others (8 total) stand at just over 200 metres. The buildings are mostly light-coloured and there is a large expanse of greenery dotted around the city core. This South-Eastern city is definitely in a league of its own.

7. Toronto , Canada

Metro/Urban Population: 5.1 million

Toronto is a meeting place, a crossroads of many cultures and ethnicities. Toronto is downtown Canada, the biggest city in the country with a skyline to match. Toronto has 7 structures in its skyline that stand at over 200 metres, including the astonishingly tall 553 metres, CN Tower, which is often referred to as the tallest freestanding structure in the world. While mostly untrue (because there are taller TV masts in the world), the CN Tower possesses the world's highest observation deck, making this city's skyline one of the most immediately identifiable.

8. Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia

Metro/Urban Population: 1.5 million

This is probably the most impressive city worldwide that has less than 2 million residents. Marvelous modern buildings reach the sky here, and while the skyline is not too dense, it does allow buildings to soar and stand out. Kuala Lumpur has three of the 25 tallest buildings worldwide, including the tallest twin buildings, the Petronas Towers (which are arguably the second and third tallest overall in the world) as well as the 420 meters Menara Kuala Lumpur Tower.

9. Shenzhen, China

Metro/Urban Population: 4.2 million

What was a tiny fishing village on the border of Hong Kong in 1970 is now a buzzing metropolis of over four million people. With 13 buildings at over 200 meters tall, including the Shun Hing Square (the 8th tallest building in the world), Shenzen is a marvel of lights after sunset. You can't help but ask yourself if you are in a video game or in a real city.

10. Seoul, South Korea

Metro/Urban Population: 20.8 million

This city's skyscrapers are divided into many clusters, spread amongst the main businesses and residential districts. Most of the recent growth in Seoul's skyline, however, has been of residential towers over 60 storeys high that are shooting up like blades of grass! There are 10 buildings in Seoul over 200 meters tall and much of the mid-rise to high-rise structures are lined up in a linear fashion, creating a "wall" of buildings like no other. Seoul is where the ancient Eastern world meets the modern West.

11. Sao Paolo , Brazil

Metro/Urban Population: 18.3 million

"What building did you say they lived in?" Finding it in the largest mass of condensed apartment buildings anywhere would be like finding a needle in a haystack. Sao Paolo has a population of over 18 million people! While the buildings are not super tall (with only a single structure at over 200 meters tall) this skyline is nevertheless stacked. Sao Paolo has a fleet of over 500 helicopters, the second largest helicopter fleet in the world.

12. Sydney , Australia

Metro/Urban Population: 4.2 million

Australia's showcase city, Sydney has one of the most recognizable skylines due to its world-famous harbour, often referred to as the most beautiful natural harbour in the world. The Sydney Harbour has many bays, inlets and secondary harbours. It is spanned by the monumental Harbour Bridge , and the Opera House decorates the shoreline like a white flower. The Sydney skyline is world-class with hundreds of skyscrapers in the central business district and many more high-rise buildings in the outlying neighbourhoods. Sydney has 8 buildings over 200 meters tall.

13. Frankfurt , Germany

Metro/Urban Population: 4.1 million

Certainly one of Europe's most interesting cities in terms of skylines, Frankfurt is home to five structures that are over 200 meters tall. These modern skyscrapers are marvels compared to those other, mostly non-existent ones scattered across European cities. The contrast here is interesting: The city combines low-rise, high-density traditional European architecture (some of which is over 1,000 years old), with modern towers that stick out like sore thumbs, but are impressive nonetheless.

14. Dubai , United Arab, Emirat! es

Metro/Urban Population: 1.6 million

Is this a mirage in the Middle East? Seemingly out of nowhere emerges a city in the middle of a desert. This is Dubai, a city that produces only the best modern architecture in the world. Already home of the world's tallest all-hotel building and the tallest all-residential building in the world, AND currently proposed to build the world's tallest building, this skyline might just leap to the number 1 spot in the near future. While the skyline is not so dense, each building is a marvel all on its own. As a skyline it probably can't compete with the larger cities, however the individual buildings in this city are by far the greatest examples of modern architectural accomplishments. All seven structures in this city at over 200 meters tall were built in 1999 or later ! - that's how new this city is.

15. Guangzhou , China

Metro/Urban Population: 4.1 million

Guangzhou is the Chinese name for both the province and its capital city, both of which the English called 'Canton'. This province is the closest to Hong Kong and the language spoken here (Cantonese) is the one is spoken by the thousands of Hong Kong immigrants to North America, (vs Mandarin, the language spoken in Beijing. (Cantonese and

Mandarin are as different from each other as English is from French, but the both groups

can read the written Chinese characters since both use the same pictographs to represent

sp the same concepts.)

Why, Why, Why

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?

Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?

Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?

How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right?" Well, it isn't all right, so why don't! we say, "That hurt, you stupid idiot?"

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

Here ya go:

On June 30, 2005 --

-- 2,186,230 prisoners were held in Federal or State prisons or in local jails -- an increase of 2.6% from midyear 2004, less than the average annual growth of 3.4% since yearend 1995.
-- there were an estimated 488 prison inmates per 100,000 U.S. residents -- up from 411 at yearend 1995.
-- the number of women under the jurisdiction of State or Federal prison authorities increased 3.4% from midyear 2004, reaching 106,174 and the number of men rose 1.3%, totaling 1,406,649.

At yearend 2004 there were 3,218 black male sentenced prison inmates per 100,000 black males in the United States, compared to 1,220 Hispanic male inmates per 100,000 Hispanic males and 463 white male inmates per 100,000 white males.

In 2002 there were an estimated 624,900 State prisoners serving time for a violent offense. State prisons also held an estimated 253,000 property offenders and 265,000 drug offenders.

I just started watching a series called...hell I forget. Its very enjoyable. Its about life in maximum secuity jails in the U.S.

They get treated very well considering what we are taught to expect. They have shower time to themselves, fed in their cells and watch t.v. Last nights show was mainly about the rules that are needed to survive.

I have seen other things on privatisation of U.S jails and thats another story.

Its a recent series. when I learn the name of it i'll post it. Definetly worth watching if you have cable t.v.

Well, it's certainly no fun for a normal person to have their liberty restricted, but I have personally seen people who liked prison life so much that they almost immediately committed a crime to be put back in. In fact we used to have them come in occasionally and confess to a crime requesting to be put in prison. One guy smashed the front window of the police station and demanded to be put in prison immediately.

I guess they figure they don't have to worry about finances or the stress of finding and maintaining employment, no family responsibilities, and they get good food, shelter from the weather, and free tv and even the internet for entertainment, conjugal visits, ....etc.

I just saw a TV program yesterday where a prison official (I believe it may have been San Quentin) said 70% of the prison population was in there due either directly or indirectly to drug use and distribution. Anybody who thinks the use and abuse of illegal drugs is a victimless crime should take another look.

Zpanther

06-07-2006, 02:51 AM

Those prison population numbers are essentially an insignificant percentage of the general population........ less than 1%. For decades now studies show that over 90% of the crime is committed by between 6% and 8% of the population, so clearly we are not putting all the criminals in jail. Police officers learn quickly who the people in their area of jurisdiction are that make up that 6% to 8% that are committing the crimes.

I found that to be true in Eastern Europe while I was there as well as in SE Asia when I was there, so it's a pretty good measurement of what to normally expect in any society.

Cotties

06-07-2006, 03:34 AM

Shit Z.P

Looks like I've chosen the wrong thread again for these posts of yours

Very interesting reading and by far useful info...

locking up one percent of a population is a small part of any community.

So you believe [and I'm not picking on something that is very important to you] that drug offenders should be locked up more frequently or for longer periods of time.

About 4 years ago the Thai government changed power. Amphetimines were wild in this country. Much better quality than we have in western countries. The country faced huge problems. They were mainly being brought in from Burma being produced from army factories. But the real problem was the price just went to nothing and everyone could use them daily and it went thru the working class the fastest. They just were not frowned upon. Children were using, teachers were selling to students, every taxi driver hadn't slept in 3 days and you could buy them just about everywhere. Daily stabbings and suicides were front page stories. The nickname for it here is crazy medicine. Thats the final product of a user. You become parnoid and nuts.

So the new government went, this is killing our country. So in the next two months 2000+ drug dealers were shot dead and everybody sent to re-hab in jails. Police officials were replaced at high up levels and tolerance became non existant. Any police still involved in this would be fired.

What this taught me was that a drug can be removed from a society if the leadership is strong enough and people can face the reality of what it takes to clean up the streets.

I'm just sharing a story....Its funny but at the time this was going on, world news was calling this goverment a bit barbaric and back wards...

they saved many lives and families..I wish we could do it with heroine back home..

Well it might surprise you to hear me say I'm not so sure about that. I spent a lot of years of my life identifying, arresting, convicting and incarcerating dangerous drug distributors and their organizations. The higher up they were in the organization the easier they were to deal with..... and we did deal with some significant members of the Escobito and Cali Cartels. Those guys were businessmen dealing in large amounts of money. They were no threat to us..... they knew better. In fact I have to admit several of them are guys I wouldn't mind going fishing with. They knew the game and, when they were caught, they gave up whoever they needed to to get a deal.... usually their competitors first and then their friends if they had to. It's just the way it works in that business and they they know it very well.

However, after all those years I have to say I'm not convinced that prison is the answer for dangerous drug distributors. If I knew the answer I'd be worth a lot of money. But I know one thing (and this relates to the current immigration situation)....... as long as their is a market for something, there will be suppliers willing to take the risk to make large profits.

The History Of The Middle Finger

Funny thing about the middle finger.
My father having lived 50 years in the US never understood the symbolism of the middle finger. He would point to places on a map with his middle finger much to the children's embarassements....that was basically okay until he was pointing to Americans with his middle finger....

useless info huh?...

Let’s do a time warp back to May 18, 1927, two days prior to the start of Lindbergh’s historic crossing of the Atlantic. This particular day started out just like any for the seven-hundred or so residents of the village of Bath, Michigan. Yet, this day was not to be like any other. Around nine forty-five that morning, a tremendous explosion shook the community. Within just a short period of time, an additional loud blast would be heard.

At a time when radio was still in its infancy, news was very slow to spread and area residents were unsure about what had just happened. The first explosion produced a giant cloud of smoke in one direction, yet there was a major fire burning in another. People followed their gut instinct and headed toward the source of the explosion. What these people saw was something that we all hope never, ever happens again. The community’s five-year-old Bath Consolidated School, with more than three hundred students enrolled, had just been blown to smithereens. With one-third of the school completely leveled, rescuers worked as fast as they could to pull the wounded and deceased out of the wreckage. Lifeless body after lifeless body was extracted. Panicked fathers joined in the search while mothers looked on with horror.

Just as things seemed as if they couldn’t get any worse, a second explosion occurred about a half hour later. One of the cars near the disaster site blew up, killing the school’s superintendent, a school board member, the village postmaster, and another man.

Rescuers, frantically searching through the portion of the school that was still standing, made a horrifying discovery and quickly called for everyone to get away from the building. The school was wired with over five hundred pounds of dynamite, complete with a timer and a battery! Realizing the dynamite could go off at any moment, the rescuers carefully dismantled the explosives and removed them from the building.
We live in an age where we think that schools shootings, bombings, and the like are only a modern phenomenon. It’s not the type of thing that we would have expected to happen in the 1920s. How could such a thing have occurred? How could someone become so outraged that they would want to kill all of those innocent children?

The answer to these questions can be given with just one word: taxes.

It was all the doing of a man named Andrew P. Kehoe, who just happened to be one of the people killed in the automobile explosion outside of the school. Kehoe was very upset that his taxes had dramatically increased in order to fund the construction of the new school. In an effort to reduce his tax levy, he ran for and was eventually elected to the community’s Board of Education, where he quickly butted heads with the school’s superintendent and other board members. His efforts to get his property taxes reduced were unsuccessful, however. Soon the higher taxes, coupled with increased medical expenses due to his wife’s poor health, led to the foreclosure of Kehoe’s farm.

Kehoe’s frugal ways did not go unnoticed by the board. He convinced them to hire him to do some odd jobs around the school and avoid the cost of hiring an electrician. And what a wiring job he did. Not only did Kehoe perform his assigned duties, but he also spent weeks methodically wiring and setting up explosives around the school.

A few minutes before the blast, witnesses said that they saw Kehoe leaving the school building and driving away. After the entire wing of the school was destroyed, Kehoe returned to the scene of the crime. Sitting in his car, he motioned Superintendent Emory Huyck towards his car. It is believed that the two men got into an argument and Kehoe pulled out a shotgun and blasted the rear seat of his pickup truck, which was loaded with his remaining explosives. Kehoe, Huyck, and several others were killed instantly.

The next morning, the body of Kehoe’s wife was found at their farm. Her husband had apparently killed her prior to the bombing of the school. He had wired his home and outbuildings with explosions timed to go off after he left for the school. All of the buildings on his farm were burned to the ground.

In the end, Kehoe had killed a total of forty-five people. This included two teachers, the superintendent, the village’s postmaster, a retired farmer, Kehoe’s wife, and thirty-eight children, most between the ages of six and eight. More than fifty others were injured.

As hard as it is to imagine, the death toll from the blast could have been much worse. It was later determined that a short circuit prevented the rest of the school from exploding. Also, the blast occurred during final exams at the school, so the older students were not scheduled to arrive until later that morning.

After all of the victims were laid to rest, the villagers were faced with the task of rebuilding their school. Since they were still paying for the school that was destroyed, the increase in taxes to cover the new construction would have placed many of its residents into bankruptcy. Luckily, the state came to the rescue with disaster relief and the school was rebuilt. Today, the replacement school has been torn down and a park commemorates those that lost their lives to the actions of one deranged man.

This awful tragedy still ranks as the most deadly act of school violence in American history. Much of the world has long forgotten this story, but it is a tragic event that will never be forgotten by the residents of Bath. Useless? Useful? I’ll leave that for you to decide

A friend of mine from the same part of Oz as Tiger {a semi rural area years ago]....told me that when he was 13 years old and started to masturbate. He didn't have any porn books so he had to look at his dick while he played with himself...after a few months he was certain he was a poof because he had learned that men who touch dicks are poofs... he said he didn't want to be a poof and it made him very unhappy but couldn't stop playing with himself...the poor bastard...it took him a year and a half to realise he was a wanker and not a poof....
