Woman suspected of witchcraft burned alive
A woman in rural Papua New Guinea was bound and gagged, tied to a log and set ablaze on a pile of tires this week, possibly because villagers suspected her of being a witch, police said Thursday....
... Early Tuesday morning, a group of people dragged the woman, believed to be in her late teens to early 20s, to a dumping ground outside the city of Mount Hagen. They stripped her naked, bound her hands and legs, stuffed a cloth in her mouth, tied her to a log and set her on fire, Mauba said.
"When the people living nearby went to the dump site to investigate what caused the fire, they found a human being burning in the flames," he said. "It was ugly."...

"WE" don't do this. Backwards "civilizations" that are 200 years behind us? Sure.
You think burning suspected witches is the worst this world has to offer?

This is actually quite common in the area. The locals mostly believe that the AIDS epidemic is the result of both sorcery and witchcraft and many people have been burned alive as a result.I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

I thought AIDS came from someone who boinked a monkey.
No, AIDS jumped species in the wild and they have records of people with AIDS like symptoms from Africa way back into the 1800's when medical records and studies first started being kept. They just couldn't identify it back then.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

Who wouldn't? The intoxicating aroma of sweet, sweet justice. A kegger. The oft amusing company of a simple, yet wacky tribe of heathens. I can almost hear the Benny Hill music now.

Yeah but my companion for the day at the "Fairy festival" was waaaaay hotter than anyone at the second day of Polkfest. Besides, Al probably never would have let me in the front door of his house anyhow. I'd have to sit in the bushes out front with Doro while he muttered things about your mother under his breath. The assless chaps are nice and all but when the bushes are small and his butt hair is rubbing up against you, it starts to chaff and gets real uncomfortable. And he never shaves for me. Just tells me to stop being a little **** or it gets the hose again.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

Ooops.
I take it from the quotes on "Fairy Fest" that you may have gone to the Ren Fest. There is a Fairy Festival in PA, I really wasn't implying anything.
My bad.Wristwatch--->Crisco -
Doro has sprayed me down with several of his hoses. Sometimes its the price you pay to be allowed in the presence of such greatness.

Don't worry. Like a health club, most of them will be gone by February.
There must of been about a zillion new members join around the holidays.
Could we maybe try to see if those *sswipes on Wallstreet float?
