Coffee & Cigarettes

I almost died of laughter when I saw this. Just amazing how some people think..

An article by Robert Fisk in The Independent on the current situation in Iraq after the new changes in the US congress.

Mostly true in Saudi Arabia with few exceptions and additions here and there.

How ironic is it that the US Department of State is condemning this while turning a blind eye to this!!

"The U.S. State Department condemned the forced medical treatment of gay couples in the Muslim Gulf Arab state and called on the UAE to comply with international legal standards."

"International legal standards"..

Well, aren't they something. They have the audacity to say this.

I don't know about you but if I had the choice between laying down on a couch talking to a shrink and getting steroid shots or getting my nuts clamped and connected to live 220 AC volts, I think I would chose the former option. But thats just me.

This is dedicated to the people who like to tally up the statistics of crime in other countries and compare them to our country's crime rates so to prove that they live in an angelic society. When in fact the only reason why our crime statistics are lower is because we don't have official organizations to report and count those things, so there are no rates to be compared to.

The first story is of a girl who was forced by her misfortunes to marry a man at the age of 12. The man is 50 years older than her. As if this isn't already bizarre enough, on the wedding night she gets to find that she is the sixth wife of this pedophile. The story takes an even crazier turn when the young girl finds out that her pedophile husband has been raping her younger and only brother, as if six wives weren't enough. The story in Arabic and in English. (Note: you will need your Prozac before finding out the punishment this scum got).

The second story is just one of many similar ones that happen all the time here. The child protection agency was just found a couple of months ago, so it is easy to understand why this kind of mistreatment of children have flourished in our society for decades.
I couldn't find the story in English but the picture will tell you everything you need about what happened to this girl. And yes, it was by her parents.

A stolen military uniform that belongs to Saddam Hussain will be auctioned at Manions auction house on the first of December. The upsetting thing about this is not the fact that it was stolen, I mean what do you expect from a scumbag who most probably was recruited from the crime infested slums in the US. These soldiers are just following their role model, George W., who stole Saddams gun and kept it as a souvenir. The thing that makes me so mad is that this scum has found a place for him to auction his stolen memorabilia. Now the thing that makes me insane is the fact that not even a penny, nothing...nada...zilch, is going back to the Iraqi people. Instead,

"The company will donate a percentage
of the commission from this uniform to a
charitable concern.". I wonder what that concern will be?!

Oh wait, there is more:

"but we're also looking at it as an opportunity
to give something back to the men
and women of our Armed Forces."


So be ready Iraq, more crooks are on their way to claim whatever is left of your resources.

It felt like old times for the cornhuskers on Friday, 30-3 winners over Colorado in a game that someday might be viewed as the turning point for a program under duress the last few years.

A turning point back to the glory days...lets just hope

It still puzzles me how this person got to be the president of the US for two consecutive terms and still is. One of his latest idiocies is planning to bomb Aljazeera headquarters in the business district of the capital of one of his closest, and most lenient, allies in the middle east.

A related item to the post below. An interactive guide to neoconservatism, the drive behind the shift in the American international policies lately.

This an interesting point of view that many Americans don't get to hear about much in their media. Take a look,

Stagger on, weary Titan

As they say: what goes around, always comes around

A priceless headline posted by Sky news,

As always, in a society dominated by males, the female will always get the more severe side of punishment while the male will wake away with a lighter punishment. In a unique love story, a Bangaladeshi driver was sentenced to three months in jail while his female partner in love was sentenced to death according to Islamic law (they claim).

I can assure you that if this thing happened in Saudi Arabia, then the religious nuts would claim that she was dressing provocatively and that is what caused the whole relationship to happen in the first place!!

I am so mad about this thing that I don't know what to write here. Take a look here. Some of the pictures are at the bottom of the article. I warn you though, the pictures are extremely disturbing, that is if you still have any humanity left in you.

This website lists the history of the vetoes by the memebers of the UN security council. As you go down the list, a certain trend will start becoming clear to you.
