Originally posted by tubularbills wow that's pretty fucked up. but you know, we have stuff like this (kinda) here in the states too. not really with the whole exorcism thing and pouring acid down mouths or whatever; but there's been a lot of recent child violence ... kids just ganging up on one and beating the shit out of them / setting them on fire. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009...in5385653.shtml

that's terrible but a totally different thing. domestic violence in one of its many forms

Anyone got that video of the Christian woman yelling at children that Harry Potter is EEEVIL because he was a wizard and that he deserves to be killed and burn in hell because of it?

Many Christians in America today still believe in witches, wizards, sworcerers, demons, etc. Ray Comfort (the banana guy who wrote the new "introduction" to Darwin's book) says he believes in this crap at 4:40 here..

fuck me! I will believe in Harry Potter. Oh what wouldn't I do to be there with Hermione Granger in the Hogwarts dorm

Originally posted by astroboy REminds me of an interesting story. The sibling of a friend of mine used to volunteer in Africa somewhere (I think he was in MSF but can't remember this was a while back). Anyway he used to give talks on safe sex etc and would demonstrate by putting a condom on a broom handle. In some of the remote villages he'd be talking through two interpreters so a lot would get lost in translation. Anyway one time he came for a repeat visit to see how things were going and the villagers were pissed off that the condoms he'd given them didn't work.. apparently they had been putting them on broomsticks in their huts.. thinking it was supposed to have some mystical talisman-like birth-control effect lol.

Bahaha. Savages!

Originally posted by yukii haha, good point. however, i was not relating the condom with their superstition violence. i was making a completely different statement, they need to practice safe sex & stop spreading aids within one another AND stop popping babies every time they have sex, along with other things they should really learn about... a condom doesn't stand a chance against a roundhouse kick that should be in a fortune cookie.

clearly this story is about a superstitious group of people not the birth rate in africa, not aids and not what you think they should know. with that said what is it that you think you could teach africa?

Originally posted by Ygrene I once saw Swamper peel off 4 or 5 $100 bills from a fat roll and say this to Donald Trump: "Go clean yourself up; you look like a bum.". And then he threw the bills right in Trump's face/hair! Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.
