He must be European or have spent time there and go back before the Euro (French Francs, g95 9/22 p6); he's undergone persecution (g9/09 p13); was raised in (g90 4/8 p15, g77 12/8 p 30); is hard line on sexual matters (w 11/06 p18); played organized sport(s) and visited Rome (w94 6:1 p6); and has raised kids (page 20: november 1st public edition)

With the exception of sexual matters, that pretty much describes Peter Andre...

When Water Guns Threaten A Religion

by metatron in

today's wall street journal has a front page article about how squirt guns are viewed as a threat to the iranian theocracy.

young people there are being arrested and beaten by authorities who condemn water pistols as 'immoral'.

there have been open water fights with police and forced confessions on iranian tv.

Without Allah's blessing on the use of holy water grenade launchers, faithful Muslims will be martyrs in the event of a vampire attack....

i grew up being a witness.

i remember in elementary and somewhat in middle school i used to be really outspoken about being a witness.

i even had my own study with a classmate, which thankfully he lost interest because i was getting tired of it too.. but high school was a different story.

NS, I was pretty much the same as you..... Spoke about it at Primary school and studied with 2 classmates. Then at Secondary school I was so embarassed by it I tried to hide it as much as I could and didn't even feel guilty about hiding it.

it appears that she has taken ill with an auto-immune disease.

it is called sjogren syndrome.

i hope that she can make a recovery.

mummatron

I had never heard of Sjögren's syndrome before today, so thanks for bringing it to my attention. It sounds awfully debilitating and the threat of developing lymphoma must be a huge worry for sufferers. Venus is fortunate to be in a position to access the best healthcare.

German city of Bonn taxes prostitutes with meter

Bonn's prostitution meter, 31 August The prostitution meter is said to be the first of its kind

The German city of Bonn has installed a meter to tax prostitutes for soliciting on its streets at a rate of six euros (£5.30; $8.70) per night.

Those who fail to pay face fines or even a ban, and 264 euros were found in the meter when it was first emptied, according to AFP news agency.

Tax has been levied on prostitutes elsewhere but Bonn is the first city to use a meter, a spokeswoman said.

But a prostitutes' rights activist said the scheme amounted to double taxation.

Prostitutes are expected to pay the flat rate, regardless of earnings.

The machine, which looks like an ordinary parking meter, has been installed in an industrial area near the city centre which favoured by prostitutes and their clients.

'Consummation areas'

Isabelle Klotz, a spokeswoman for the city, said they expected to get about 200,000 euros per year from the meter.

A "consummation area" in Bonn, 29 August The "consummation areas" are wooden cubicles designed to screen cars

"Women who work in brothels also pay the tax but until now it had been difficult to get women on the street to pay," she added.

"Thanks to this new method we will be able to tax them in all fairness with the others."

There are believed to be about 200 prostitutes in Bonn.

Juanita Rosina Henning, from the Dona Carmen prostitute support group, demanded the meter's removal, saying prostitutes already paid income tax.

"This has nothing to do with fiscal equality," she said.

City officials have restricted the prostitutes' areas of operation to specific quarters but critics say this has made it easier for prostitutes to ply their trade, Reuters news agency reports.

Bonn has also erected "consummation areas", or wooden garages clients may use to visit prostitutes.

What's behind this sort of behaviour?

by sizemik in

it's abhorrent to the average human .

but what motivates this sort of behaviour?.

i'm interested in what others think.. .

“Freedom of expression, is the right of every natural person, even if a person chooses to behave irrationally to express his or her insanity.” - Col. Muammar Gaddafi in The Green Book. The Green Book was Gaddafi's manual for Libyan living published in the 70's.

Unfortunately, I think that Aline Scaf and the rest of the Gaddafi family would use this as a defense for all of their atrocious behaviour.
