They are officially trying to introduce a law that might put an end to eating cat & dog meat. This new law has been called 'Anti-animal abuse law.' This new law will forbid any form of animal abuse, which includes killing them & eating their meat. The law specifically says that it's illegal to buy, sell or eat cat & dog meat. Those who will break this law will be fined RMB 5,000 & face up to 15 days in jail. I don't think 15 days in jail is enough & let's see if this law will be implemented or not. Who knows maybe it's just big talk. The title of the law will be changed soon. Right now, they want Chinese people to digest the idea. Some people are now arguing why they don't have laws to protect vegetables. . Read Full Post

Hot Indian model Tapsee
From the Blog Speak Your Mind!!!: Hot Indian model Tapsee - Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:”Table Normal”; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:”"; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:”Times New Roman”; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} Tapsee is considered one hot Indian model. 2 pics will depict that she indeed hot, but 2 pics paint altogether another picture. Basically the credit goes to these make-up artists & photographers for creating this kind of world. And now the question arises: is Tapsee really hot? Or people are actually dying to call women hot? Have you noticed that almost every female thinks she is a hottie on FB? The captions tell you loud & clear how sexy, hot & happening everyone on FB is. And mostly hottie is the word. I often wonder kay kuch aur tou nahin kehna tha. I get these ideas cause my 2 elder brothers besides talking about shit also used to write poems on it. . Read Full Post
70+ Killed in Two Attacks on Mosques in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa
From the Blog All Things Pakistan: Murderous Righteousness: 70+ Killed in Two Attacks on Mosques in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa - Adil Najam Some 70 people are dead. Nearly a dozen of them were children. Most at a mosque in Darra Adem Khel as they assembled for Juma prayers. Others at a mosque in Sulaiman Khel during Isha prayers . According to Dawn , both were mosques frequented by anti-Taliban tribal elders in Northwest Pakistan. The purveyors of hatred continue with their murderous spree. Their methods are extreme and extremely inhuman. But their pathology stems from the same pathology of righteousness that seems to thrive in a society where everyone seems to believe that we and we alone have a monopoly on truth and anyone who dares not agree, even in the slightest, with whatever we believe in should be crushed. The tactics of those who hate are the same everywhere. Assert your own righteousness. Hurt, not just to inflict pain, but to spread fear. Attack systemicly and systematically. Take no prisoners. The institutionalization of righteousness and the instrumentalities of hate (grenades and a possible suicide jacket in this case) are killing us. And we need to confront the purveyors of hatred everywhere. As we have written so many times before, our first priority has to be to bring those committing these acts to justice, and visibly ; but we need to be equally attentive to rejecting every other form of self-righteous hatred and loathing – because when we do not, then this is what hate leads to (I realize that these pictures are extremely graphic – which is why we have placed them after the break). Because hate breeds on itself. Small hate, left unchecked, becomes big hate. And this is what huge hate looks like. . Read Full Post
