Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Is this the joke(rs) thread? :-)

Rangers to float :O) Sit nicely next to my ManU short.

At age 11, Ghulam was married off to 40-year-old Jaiz in a rural Afghan village, making her only one of more than 10 million young girls who are being forced to wed men old enough to be their fathers or grandfather every year.

In an effort to start a global conversation about the devastating effects of early marriages, which are currently practiced in more than 50 developing countries, the United Nations designated October 11 as International Day of the Girl Child this year.

To mark the occasion and draw attention to the problem of child brides, photojournalist Stephanie Sinclair teamed up with National Geographic to create a series of heart-braking photos depicting girls as young as five years old being married off to middle-aged men in countries like India, Yemen and Ethiopi
so this is how muslims see young babys makes you feel sick (EDITED MONEYAM)

Skinny.

Yes.

---------------

Tanker,

I married a young girl a lot younger than myself with a wide difference in our ages and so far I haven't had any problems.

--------------------

I bet she was not young when you got married .

Is that a colloquialism?

Tanker. Whar you are describing has little to do with muslims. The practice of marrying young girls off is cultural problem combined with lack of education. Muslims in more advanced countries would be disgusted by the practice.

By the way you need to edit your last sentence as you could likely end up in trouble with the police if your comments were reported.

Tanker,

Actually she is very intelligent and often tells me that she made the right decision.

That sometimes worries me.

------------

PS.

I am at least






















2 years older than her!



But she is maturing nicely.

I bet she wishes a guide dog would have been a better option :O)

fred I do not think you are a child molester more like a old man living a life
that most dream of

for you fred I married my wife at 17 I was 19 now 61 and 64. just under 3 years younger than HAVE TWO GREAT CHILDREN NOE GROWN UP WITH 4GRAND CHILDREN TWO AT UNI TO AT SCHOOL

looks like the hills bough police are going to find justice at last .
can we now trust the police after all this cover up .

but it will take that long most will be dead so dont hold your breath.

Tanker,


Listen junior.


Your grandchildren like mine are lucky that they have intelligent grandmothers.


It is obvious that mine think that is so.

So it must be.

But if you want to know what living with 5 mothers is like, you can borrow my 4 daughters.

Congratulations to the EU for receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.

A little more political acumen and a little more fiscal integration is desirable over the coming years.

Also, increased European regulation of the banks.

(Also, a little less enthusiasm by Cameron for risk takers. That is partially what was responsible for the present economic chaos.)

fred I would love to meet your 4 daughters I have 2 and two grand girls and love them and spoil them

A Canadian female libertarian wrote a lot of letters to the Canadian government, complaining about the treatment of captive insurgents(terrorists) being held in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities. She demanded a response to her letter correspondence.

She received back the following reply:


National Defense Headquarters

M Gen George R. Pearkes Bldg., 15 NT

101 Colonel By Drive

Ottawa , ON K1A 0K2

Canada

Dear Concerned Citizen,

Thank you for your recent letter expressing your profound concern of treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists captured by Canadian Forces who were subsequently transferred to the Afghanistan Government and are currently being held by Afghan officials in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities.

Our administration takes these matters seriously and your opinions were heard loud and clear here in Ottawa. You will be pleased to learn, thanks to the concerns of citizens like yourself, we are creating a new department here at the Department of National Defense,to be called 'Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers' program, or L.A.R.K. for short.

In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided to divert one terrorist and place him in your personal care.
Your personal detainee has been selected and is scheduled for transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence in Toronto next Monday.

Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud (you can just call him Ahmed) is to be cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your letter of complaint!

It will likely be necessary for you to hire some assistant caretakers. We will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care for Ahmed are commensurate with those you so strongly recommended in your letter. Although Ahmed is a sociopath and extremely violent, we hope that your sensitivity to what you described as his 'attitudinal problem' will help him overcome these character flaws. Perhaps you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural differences.

We understand that you plan to offer counseling and home schooling. Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat and can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or nail clippers. We advise that you do not ask him to demonstrate these skills at your next yoga group. Please advise any Jewish friends, neighbors or relatives about your house guest, as he might get agitated or even violent, but we are sure you can reason with him.

He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from common household products, so you may wish to keep those items locked up, unless (in your opinion) this might offend him.

Ahmed will not wish to interact with you or your daughters (except sexually) since he views females as a subhuman form of property thereby having no rights, including refusal of his sexual demands. This is a particularly sensitive subject for him and he has been known to show violent tendencies around women who fail to comply with the new dress code that he will "recommend" as more appropriate attire.

I'm sure you will come to enjoy the anonymity offered by the burka over time. Just remember that it is all part of 'respecting his culture and religious beliefs' as described in your letter.

Thanks again for your concern.
We truly appreciate it when folks like you keep us informed of the proper way to do our job and care for our fellow man. You take good care of Ahmed and remember we'll be watching.

Good luck and God bless you.
Cordially,

Gordon O'Connor

Minister of National Defense

Somali pirates captured

http://true-turtle.livejournal.com/85315.html

I feel sick watching such film, with killing etc. How can they be so sure that these guys are not really fisherman? They might be as worried as we are about pirates, so carry short range guns in case of attacks.
