Basically, it's a pretty sane hygiene prescription (kind of similar to how eating pig used to be a legitimate health risk), which makes it ironic that the dumb email tries to portray it as some kind of barbaric and unhygienic practice.

I think Conservapedia has blocked non-US users from even accessing the site. It's really for the better sort of people who have the good sense to live in America.

I thought I had trained my dad out of this poo poo, but he sent me a doozy today. For background, my boyfriend is a phd candidate in history whose past research has focused on Germany. My dad likes to pretend he's a super rational person and is looking for facts when he sends this type of stuff, but really is just trying to provoke a fight.

POLICE INFORMATION

The first bit is mainly for women, but gents , please read it and send it on to any women you care about. The second bit is a warning to all of us!

Some sound advice for us all, as we all sometimes forget to take our commonsense with us when we go out.
This is from Northants Police Women.....

Please read, and pass on.

An important message from the Police -
please pass this along to all the women you know.....

This actually happened a few weeks ago on the M3 FLEET SERVICES!!!

It was early evening, and a young girl stopped to get petrol. She filled her tank and walked into the store to pay for her petrol. The cashier told her, 'Don't pay for your petrol yet......walk around the store for a while, and act as if you're picking up some other things to buy. A man just got into the back of your car. I've called the police, and they're on their way'.

When the police arrived, they found the man in the back seat of the girl's car and asked him what he was doing. He replied, he was joining a gang, and the initiation to join is to kidnap a woman and bring her back to the gang to be raped by every member of the gang. If the woman was still alive by the time they finish with her then they let her go. According to the police that night, there is a new gang forming here, originating from London . The scary part of this is, because the guy didn't have a weapon on him, the police could only charge him with trespassing....

He's back on the street and free to try again. Something similar to this happened at the Tesco garage on Cardiff Road in Newport recently, but luckily the cashier saw the man get into her car. Please be aware of what's going on around you, and warn your family and friends.

LADIES, you or one of your family or friends could be the next victim. Please forward this on to everyone you know. Please do not discard this message; it is very important that everyone knows what is happening. Please be careful when leaving your vehicle, and make sure it is ALWAYS LOCKED to prevent this from happening to you.

MET POLICE

In light of the recent kidnapping and now murder of Leigh Mathews, I think it is important to read the following info for your own safety. Things women should know to stay safe: Please take the time to read these pointers. There may be just one or two you hadn't thought of. After reading this, forward it to someone you care about. It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. if a robber asks for your handbag, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you..... He is probably more interested in your handbag than you, and he will go for the handbag. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. if you are ever thrown into the boot of a car: Kick out the back tail lights, and stick your arm through the hole and start waving. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc, and just sit (doing their cheque book, or making a list). DON'T DO THIS! A predator could be watching you and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, and attack you. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in car park:

a) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, look at the passenger side floor, and check the back seat.

b) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most attacker’s surprise their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

c) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the shop, or work, and get guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the lift instead of the stairs. Stairwells are horrible places to be alone, and the perfect crime spot.

7. if the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; and even then, it most likely WILL NOT BE A VITAL ORGAN

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic:
STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women, He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

9. Another safety point:
Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her, 'Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way. Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes, thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls from women saying that they hear babies' cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.

I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life.

This popped up on my Facebook from a super-conservative Christian I knew in college (oddly enough, he was the most "un-godly" person you could imagine) http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2013/january-february/my-train-wreck-conversion.html

It reads like a stdh.txt for QUEERS, I mean just look at this poo poo


I mean the overall message is good I guess in that or says that outright hatred doesn't help anything, but the author sure wasn't subtle about how she feels about her "former sinful lifestyle."

Going to go through every last one of these:

Adam Lanza: Emotionally disturbed kid with mental problems, His mother though seemed to be a bit of a gun nut, and seemed to feed off "right wing" propaganda (Alex Jones) about December 21, 2012

Virginia Tech Shooter (Seung-Hui Cho): Emotionally disturbed kid with mental problems, No remote sign of what his politics are, though it could be argued that his parents could be Republicans due to heavily involvement in a church.

James Eagan Holmes: Emotionally disturbed kid with mental problems, Grew up in the middle class, and was involved with a church. Again, could be argued that he could be from a "republican" background.

Jared Lee Loughner: Emotionally disturbed kid with mental problems, made very Libertarian like comments about the Gold Standard, etc in class. Ron Paul fan.

So, no, not one of those was a democrat (Quite the opposite for at least two of them). What the hell is wrong with the people that make this poo poo?

I don't even know how to respond to that. I probably won't. I don't know why I bothered trying to correct her, people don't like being told they're wrong.

Poizen Jam posted:

I had an argument with someone recently who insisted poors shouldn't be allowed to breed. But dammit, for the life of me, I could not get him to propose a system for how 1.) we judge who is too poor to have kids, 2.) how do we enforce the law, or 3.) how do we punish those that break the law.

I also baited the same right-leaning hateful arse into admitting he didn't actually give a poo poo about low taxes, because when I brought up examples of social assistance programs that produce positive returns/save money, and short sighted spitey programs that cost more money (housing first approaches to homelessness, or how stupid drug testing welfare recipients is), he maintained his position of 'gently caress the poors'. This guy didn't give a poo poo about taxes, as I suspect most conservatives/libertarians don't, as long as he got to hate on and feel superior to the poors.

I think he's a goon and if he is I hope he sees this. He probably thinks I deleted him for disagreeing with me on facebook; I deleted him because I can't stand hateful bigots and intellectually dishonest twats. I have plenty of friends with differing philosophical and political opinions. If you're honest about your intentions and principles I can at least respect you. If you say, however, you have a problem with spending tax dollars on welfare programs then backpedal the moment I cite a source saying investment spending can actually save taxpayer money, you can go gently caress yourself.
