I know it's not a question............................

bobs — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 10:09:03 GMT

................ but I got this via email this morning and thought it was worth posting and to urge you to copy and send to all the females in your address books.

Through a Rapist's Eyes :

This is important information for females of ALL ages.

A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1) The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun, braid or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets

2) The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women whose clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around specifically to cut clothing.

3) They also look for women on their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4) Men are most likely to attack & rape in the early morning, between 5:00a.m. and 8:30a.m.

5) The number one place women are abducted from/attacked is grocery store parking lots. Number two is office parking lots /garages. Number three is public restrooms.

6) The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to another location where they don't have to worry about getting caught.

7) Only 2% said they carried weapons because rape carries a 3-5 year sentence, but rape with a weapon is 15-20 years.

8) If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn't worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9) These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas, or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands. Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you're not worth it.

10) Several defense mechanisms he taught us are: If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them! A question on like what time is it, or make general small talk: "I can't believe it is so cold out here", "we're in for a bad winter." Now you've seen their face and could identify them in a line-up; you lose appeal as a target.

11) If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell "STOP" or "STAY BACK!" Most of the rapists this reporter talked to said they'd leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

12) If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yell "I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY" and holding it out will be a deterrent.

13) If someone grabs you, you can't beat them with strength, but you can by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm (between the elbow and armpit) OR, in the upper, inner thigh, VERY HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands - the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it hurts.

14) After the initial hit, always GO for the GROIN. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy's parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you'll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble and he's out of there.

15) When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible!. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

16) Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don't dismiss it, go with your instincts!

You may feel a little silly at the time, but you'd feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

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. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you. Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse, than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. 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 there (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.). DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

A. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
A. Be aware: look around you; look into your car; at the passenger side floor; and in the back seat.
B. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack 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 mall, or work and get a 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 elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!)

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. RUN, preferably in a zigzag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP. 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 by women saying that they hear baby's 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. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to make this blog for the attention of women, but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it onto them, as well.

The intent of this information, is for educational purposes only; being raped is never the fault of the victim, but of the rapist.

IMO. Why not just spell it out?

Draco — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 08:58:59 GMT

Seriously interested in an answer on this, because I'm mystified and frustrated.

I have just read a post in another forum, by an otherwise very literate and eloquent gentleman, whom for some reason, betrays his better knowledge and sees it as necessary to type 'IMO', every time he seeks to express that he is delivering his personal opinion. Why not just spell it out? Some people actually don't know what these silly acronyms mean.

This is the millionth time that I have been vexed by this as it is to be seen all over the place, and when it is employed by the otherwise literate, I find it bothers me a lot, because I cannot understand at all why it is employed, and yet only to express one's opinion - why? Is explaining your view on things something to be all mousy and ashamed of in America these days? So much so that it is considered necessary to 'express your opinion without really expressing it'?

It's even more cringe-worthy, when people put 'IM'H'O', especially as they do this when they are seeking to be anything but 'humble' when expressing the said opinion, but rather presuming an authoritative stance, which is actually why they say it in such a way, so that their feigned humility packs all the more impact as sarcasm.

Given as I am about as conversant with the weird and insidious linguistic fascism of political correctness as I am with mirror-writing in Mandarin, I wondered, might this have something to do with PC? Would it be that in America people dare not express their opinions in plain English in case their opinion should terribly upset some poor thing for it's having been expressed literally? Oh dear, best just use an acronym them, and talk in code.

I'm just perplexed by this phenomenom. When people write otherwise well written posts, only to have them dotted with 'IMO's' all over the place, which ruins a good post, is totally illogical, unclear to some, sloppy, and doubly offensive for it's squeamishly sickening pretense at attempting not to be so, making it in fact, hidden aggression and superciliousness, especially the 'IM'H'O'.

Why?

Oh yea, and no prizes for guessing that the next poster will put 'IMHO' to be facetious. ; )

I already thought about them coming in from the cold, but I don't know what ants usually do in the winter, but they've never done it in my kitchen before, only in summer. Yes, it's a warm winter, but we've been in the deep freeze for several weeks now. what's up with the ants?

Sandbox turned Litter box

David — Thu, 03 May 2007 19:08:12 GMT

I have in my yard, a makeshift sand box for my kids. No cover and open to the elements. It's essentially a sandy extension to the lawn.

Animals have taken to using it as their own personal bathroom.

I know all the obvious responses like: " Why did you build it out in the open? " " Why don't you cover it ?"

It wasn't my idea to build it where it was built or how it was built.

ANYway:

Question 1 ) How do I clean it, sanitize it for continued use for my kids? Or is it even possible?

Question 2) How do I keep the critters out of it? remember...KIDS use this as a play area.

But this one is real, and it's important. So please send this

warning to everyone on your e-mail list.

If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due

to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance

around with your arms up, DO NOT DO IT!!

THIS IS A SCAM!! They only want to see you naked.

Ultraman

MickD — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 13:03:03 GMT

So, through Netflix, I got the Ultraman series from the early/mid sixties. The ORIGINAL series. I haven't seen this stuff since I was a very small child, say somewhere in the 1970-72 range. And it's great! I remember quite a bit. But watching this stuff raises some serious questions:

1) Why do the monsters always attack Japan?
2) Why are the monsters always about the same size as Ultraman?
3) Does anything other than radiation serve as the cause of the monsters?
4) How do I get the cute Japanese scientist to bring me a root beer float?

Images and Copyright

Sat, 03 Feb 2007 00:22:04 GMT

Hi Everyone,

So I have been wanting to post images I find on yahoo or google image search that correspond with the topics of posts on my blog but I have resisted so far because I have not been sure about the whole copyright thing. Is it alright to post these images on my blog? I see other tribe members that do this (at least thats where I assume they get the images from). If it´s not okay is there a shared image website or something where I can get images?

Thanks!

I am notified when there are new comments on my blog. Is there a way to subscribe to other peoples blogs to know when they have made new entries or posts? Probably sounds like a stupid question but I honestly don't know. I tried to figure it out. Do some peoples blogs allow you to subscribe to them and some don't depending on the persons set preferrences?

Are guys Being sincere or not!!!!!!.

MrsCassandra — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 23:34:33 GMT

Let sum my scenario up:

I have been dating a guy for 3 mos now and we see each other on average of 2 times a week. We meet for lunch and one night a week or on the weekend. Sometimes we se each other 2 times a week for lunch if our schedules permit it.

He has been legally seperated about 6 mos but the marriage has been over much longer than that. He and his wife & son still live in the same household but they have the house FOR SALE and as soon as it sells they are both moving out and going their seperate ways.

The wife is aware hes dating and such, thats never been a problem for us. Thank goodness bc that was a BIG ISSUE with me in the beginning. I am not a HOMEWRECKER and dont need that extra drama of some jealous ex!

My question is can he really know wether he is in Love with me after only dating me for 3 mos? He tells me he loves me all the time! He also says you know you love me too! Im like dont say that silly!! I admit I adore him and love spending time with him! He makes me happy inside and he makes me laugh! I feel secure with him!

He has made comments and such as us moving in together after he & the wife split up to share expenses! He keeps talking all these future plans of us doing things, traveling etc.... That sorta freaks me out. I tell him this but he sorta just keeps on with it. I mean hes really not in the position to be offering me REAL Love at this point. Its too soon if you ask me. I really like this guy alot and I havent allowed myself to fall for a guy in a long time, almost 3 years now. So I am taken a back by all this and him for sure!

I know guys say things alot of the time without thinking and they say what they think we want to hear! I am fine with him telling me he likes me, enjoys being with me, misses me, but the LOVE word scares me because I dont take LOVE lightly and I hope hes sincere and means it.

I am for the long term if its meant to be but how do I make it clear to him to slow things down a tad bit???? Any advive???

Thanks for listening!

Cassandra

Arthur C. Clarke. Gay? Pedophilia?

marvindublin — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 05:51:27 GMT

I always thought he was gay. But pedophilia?

From a 1999 article:
Clarke's series is recognized as one of the finest in fantastic
literature and he was recently knighted in his native Britain.
[Note: The knighthood achieved controversial status this last
February as shortly before the ceremony an interview was
published in which Clarke admitted to a lifelong pedophilia.
Ouch! ...Perhaps this explains Clarke living in Sri Lanka since
1956.]

Also from a Google search:
That Arthur C. Clarke is gay has been an open secret in the science
fiction community for years and for idiots who don't know any better the
jump from homosexuality to pedophilia would seem to be a small one. The
irony is that Clarke, who suffers, I believe, from post-polio syndrome,
says that he hasn't been sexually active in any way for many years.

And this 1998 article:
''Once they have reached the age of puberty, it is OK... It doesn't do any harm,'' said Clarke, who has lived in Sri Lanka for 40 years.

"I am trying to think of the youngest boy I have ever had because, of course, you can't tell it here. I think most of the damage comes from the fuss made by hysterical parents afterwards. If the kids don't mind, fair enough,'' he was reported to have said in the interview which was conducted at his house.

''I am amazed why the law has not been enforced as far as Clarke was concerned,'' says Maureen Seneviratne, co-ordinator for a non-governmental organisation called Peace -- Protection of Environment and Children Everywhere.

''Why do we have strong laws in Sri Lanka?'' she asked, noting that such a law had been in place since October 1995 when parliament passed a bill without division on prevention of abuse of children below the age of 16.

She said that a bill replaced a 1983 law, under which abuse of children below the age of 12 was an offence, though the child was equally guilty as the perpetrator. Under the new law, child abuse carries a minimum sentence of seven years imprisonment and a maximum of 20 years. The laws were put in place following a public outcry over paedophilia and child prostitution in Sri Lanka.

And, is it worth it to get, or just a waste of money?

AND, if it's worth it, what system is worth getting?

Would you kill a baby bird?

caitlingrace1979 — Wed, 17 Aug 2005 23:12:42 GMT

Last week I arrived at a friend's just as he was dealing with a baby bird who had fallen from its nest. He was talking about killing it (because it lay suffering) but then tried to save it by scooping it up on a spatula and attempting to replace it in the nest. The bird fell a second time and was in worse shape then before. So my friend took it away, said a prayer, and killed it.

I'm not passing judgement but the event raised considerations...
Is it my friend's place to decide that he should "alleviate the suffering"? Or perhaps was the suffering a part of the bird's spiritual journey?

What would you have done if you'd found the bird?
