promiscuity = earthquakes?

"Many women who do not dress modestly lead young men astray and spread adultery in society which increases earthquakes".....

According to an Iranian cleric:

I don't know the beleif system. But what I can say is modesty is good to have there are a lot of people in this world who need a lot more of it. The best example I can give is during summer walking down the street you see some chick with these long great looking legs, this tiny little top, the beasts are all nice and shiny and perky. Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, there is of in the distance. Then once you get a bit closer and you can see the person a little better you feel sick to your stomach and notice that the person from a far you thought was an adult is about 12 or 15 at most and looks slutty. This is some little girl who should be at home playing and she is trying to look like she is drinking age at a bar.

I'm not saying High School Girls shouldn't have sex with kids there own age, but you know what maybe they shouldn't. That way there would be no need for shows like 16 and pregant and there wouldn't be all these broken homes with broken familes, and kids growing up with one parent. If there was just a bit of modesty in kids instead of trying to show off all the goods.

Do I like when Ladies show everything off, well of course I do. Do I believe in Sin, not really. But for those that do I can see how they believe this.

In Terms of "The Chip Strip". I think there are a lot of "Emotional Earth Quakes" caused by it.

The Theory is sound though. You do something "God" disaproves of then he will punish you or the world. I'm not saying I buy this but many do. However that being said who says HIV/AIDS isn't a punishment for all the crazy sex of the 60's (Man I wished I lived back then) and then the 70's. Hey if you believe that there where plegues then why can't HIV be the newest.

Is this guy a little Nuts yeah. But if you where brought up in that same faith overthere you would think the same way. When you think about some views in the Christian faith it does make some sense. Not that I agree with it though.......

"I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get hot and cold all over

I feel the earth move under my feet"

Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.

metalpeter writes at 06:23:22 04/21/10 - Comment #55875: Well there is a lot of information that they leave out that if you included would make that statement make sense. At least in the sense of the Bible. You know that sin thing and good punishes people for their sins. For those that beleive in Karma hey if you do things you shouldn't do then bad things will happen. I wonder if it is left out because they are crazy or because they know that people who follow that faith system know what they are talking about.

I find this a timely post because tonight they are continuing South Park from last week. The entire thing is about how all these people who got made fun of are suing the town. Well Mohamed can't be mocked or made fun of so these famous People want to get him and take his power. And there have been references to how he can't be mocked, but also that he also can't be seen in public. So they do things like put him in a bear suite. And they show a clip from some super hero team he is on and there is a black box that says censored. Well I guess this cartoon has pissed some people off in that world.

gnomey elf

I want one. I would name him Snooker. He would do all my evil bidding and never get caught because of his awesome red sneakers.

goa diving

Goa was amazing! I've got other photos to share, but for now here are some underwater shots that I took on my photography course. Had I known the conditions, I most certainly would not have taken this specialty course in this location, because visibility was shit and the surge was out of control - I felt like I was fighting to stay vertical in a washing machine! It was DIFFICULT to say the least! But then, diving in supreme conditions I should now be able to take decent photos! I think' peak buoyancy' might be my next course, or I'll just start on adventure diver; I really want to do some wrecks!

customer service

Got our visas for India, yahoo! Goa here we come!

However, what I don't have are my new fins. I prefer booties and strap on fins versus the slipper fin where you just put your bare foot into the fin. Those give me blisters. So, I went to buy some of my own strapped fins to go with my booties, and I wanted a pair of gloves too.

I did all my homework reading reviews etc and narrowed it down to 2 types of fin to try. Tested them, as best you can when not in water I suppose, and decided. I also picked up gloves, and a set for Rory plus a carry bag.

I tried to use my credit card and the guy was mumbling something about Master card doesn't work at his shop. I didn't have enough cash on me. So Rory hands over his Visa card, which also does not work. So now the guy is trying to convince me that our credit cards are messed up, but of course it was his machine. Finally, after 10 minutes of this nonsense, we say we'll walk to the ATM at the hopsital just down the street and be back in 5 minutes. "OK, OK"....

We go to the ATM, get the money and return only to find the bastards closed the shop!!! Seriously. I was like...you know, I was willing to pay more just for the fins than an entire kit that I could have bought online just to be supportive of local businesses and THAT is the kind of 'customer service' you get in this part of the world. Sigh.

Completely different story, Rory and I went to Alton Towers while we were in the UK for his best friend's wedding. We stayed at a great bed and breakfast called The Smithy up in the Peak District. Lots of rolling hills and sheep! We like to collect funny photos of ourselves at various amusement parks around the world. This is my favorite so far. Sonic Spinball is about the craziest little coaster I've been on. I mean, look at my hair, it's going in 3 different directions!!

indian embassy

I had a most interesting visit to the Indian Embassy this morning. For starters, the map they had on their website was wrong. We drove around neighborhoods for a while to no avail, then just happened to run into an Indian man on the street who knew where it was! He lead the way in his car - thanks man!

I did all my homework online to find out exactly what I needed to get the visa. Fill out tourist form V-1, bring proof of your return plane ticket, and hotel confirmation. Great! So we did all that. Didn't have a glue stick at home so had to paper clip our photos on the pages.

Got to the window and the guy starts ticking off all the unfilled areas - which indicate on the form only need to be filled in when you qualify for those conditions. For example, "Sign here as a tesatment that if you are entering India for 1 year or more, you will leave if you find out you have AIDS". So, I didn't sign because I won't be there for a year. But we had to sign anyway. Several areas like this follow.

THEN...you also have to fill out 'this' form, in duplicate. WTF!! Why wasn't that form, or that information ON THE WEBSITE under visa requirements??? So we had to fill those out in a last minute scramble. He also screamed we couldn't affix the photo with paper clip. I'm like, great - I don't have GLUE on me do I? So, I chewed a piece of gum and used little bits like glue strips. Quite genius really, and it worked.

With all the ado about those forms, we finally get a ticket to the window to apply - only to find out we're also supposed to have a photo copy of our passport and work permit. Which seems odd considering I was about to HAND OVER MY ACTUAL PASSPORT. Isn't the original more proof than a copy? So, Rory had to push his way back in a huddle of men to get photo copies at 30 cents each.

Then at the cashier's window, the woman charge me and my female co-worker an extra 10QR, for no apparent reason. We already got charged an extra 75QR for being Americans. Gotta love it.

So, off to India next weekend for Rory's big 3-0!!!! Going diving in Goa, woohoo!!!
