Re: Musings on Random Musings

 

Is it just me, or does this news article strike others as just plane wrong? I mean, what kind of country allows cold-bloded murders like this to go unpunished?

 

Indian village proud after double "honor killing"

That rather reminds me of this story. Isn't it wonderful how such different cultures can come together in their hatred of women?

It's stoies like these* that make me wish I had world-spanning Clairsentience (w/Targeting) and an equally ranged 1 pip Penetrating Fully Indirect RKA. :mad:

 

 

 

*Also 9-11 made me wish for that as well. The "You can run, but you can't hide" ability.

In answer to Cancer's question above, yes, I get points back. That way I can still be awake after Star falls asleep on the couch while being petted after playtime. She likes a petting session after playtime. When she's being a pain it usually means she's bored. :)

It's stories like these that makes me want to punch a speaker who talks about "Moral Equivalency" between cultures.

Well' date=' there's always porn. ;)[/quote']

Even porn takes some time.

 

Had 17 cats in the room last night. I actually managed to get four hours sleep, but that may have just been exhaustion.

 

Got up at 5 since lauren was rattling her cage. Cleaned everything up and now have a few minutes before taking everyone over to South Bark. See if I can get them adopted out this weekend.

South Bark? Was that a Freudian slip?

Of women? Didn't the original story mention the murder of both a woman and a man?

 

I like the unintentionally ironic concluding quote....

 

 

said 48-year-old Satvir Singh. "This was a murder of morality."

 

 

Yes, one might say that morality was murdered here....

The palindromedary contemplates the idea of brutally murdering a helpless person in order to demonstrate one's own honor, and wonders if common sense wasn't murdered as well as morality

While I'm not about to argue for "moral equivalency" I will say that, before we go feeling all that superior, we may remember that right here in America (and, I suspect, all other nations on Earch) we can find plenty of people who are perfectly willing to kill to enforce a code of sexual morality.

The palindromedary still thinks the prize for stupidity goes to those Yazidis who didn't know when they were well enough off and threw themselves into the violence like a pygmy poodle puppy getting between two foaming mad murderous mastiffs....

But it is not considered a norm here. It is very clearly spelled out to be illiegal.

Why is the so-called search function on Vista so utterly, totally useless???

 

Lucius Alexander

 

Just like the palindromedary, it can't find its ass with both hands. The palindromedary can't because it has neither ass nor hands. What the 1/0! is Bill Gates' excuse?

Bill Gates' excuse is that he is no longer an employee of Microsoft, you want Steve Ballmer the CEO.

 

And his excuse: Vista is a 'work in progress'. Maybe they make it work right in Windows 7, due in 2010. :winkgrin:
