OT -- sadly, standard practice under islamic law (sharia). a few years back they let schoolgirls burn rather than let them flee the burning bldg without the proper head attire.

agree with you on both spirituality and organized
religion. one's spiritual or religious beliefs should be as private as one's genitals.

organized religion is made for intellectually lazy followers in need of support for their beliefs. one should ask why they need support..

Pretty extreme but not as extreme as the unprovoked police attack on Dziekanski at YVR that left him dead.

BTW Saudi, in spite of its flaws is one of the safest places to live in the world, almost zero crime. But you must watch what you say as they even monitor its citizens who are travelling outside the country. They apparently care little about human rights there though.

A better society is Singapore and Malaysia. no drug trafficking and no street gangs.



It works beautifully. People can't say they weren't warned

A friend of mine is from Kuala Lumpur and he says its a great place to live, its free and affluent, maybe a bit less free speech but there is no drug problem to speak of.

Here's a good one...............

Every day I am shocked at something or other I see reported in the news. Today the Toronto Star headline reads, “Court says no break in scam loss.” The headline could have read, “Securities dealer found guilty of stupidity.”

I figured that several years ago, approximately 99.9 pct of anybody older than the age of 15 and possessing of a normal IQ would not be fooled by the Nigerian advance-fee scam.

But apparently Dwayne Heppner, a registered Limited Market Dealer in Ontario, and a lawyer to boot, and his client, reported losing -$340,000 that they say was a front fee for helping a mysterious Nigerian businessman get $30.9 million out of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in return for a reward of $9.3 million.

After the Canada Revenue Agency denied their tax claim, for which they ought to have been prosecuted for even making such a ridiculous claim, yesterday the Tax Court of Canada rejected their appeal.

These people ought to have been charged for gross negligence or reckless, wanton or intentional stupidity.

They say they flew to London to meet their Nigerian contact, and only after they balked at his demand for an additional $400,000 for an “insurance certificate”, did the contact disappear and they realize they had been duped.

The mind boggles.

And you wonder how HB&B found so many idiots to meet their Liar Loan scam? This is good proof that the people are out there.
