You judge this one..
Because I am speechless.

I don't really know which would be the correct words to use on this forum to describe my utter disgust, without resorting to foul language.

Gandhi quote “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”
maybe he should have said
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its women are treated”

That happens every weekend outside your house when people go to nightclubs fueled with alcohol. We are no better.
It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum.

Am I, they are thrashing someone on the ground for no reason. I've seen that many times in my own country. It is increasing in frequency violence for doing nothing. Looking at someone, walking past in the street. Rudeness, dirty language lack of respect for elders, race, or creed. There is an awful lot of selfishness. Plus there is still sectarianism. But that's a whole new can of worms.
Excuse me, I sound like an old man
Perhaps you recall the disabled couple who were beaten up when they left their homes and committed suicide
Just an observation on social things in our own backyard.It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum.

Heres something that might interest you. Was not 500 years ago was it?
Ms Duncan, who lived in Niddrie at the time but travelled the country putting on seances for relatives, was convicted in 1944 under the 1735 Witchcraft Act for "pretending to raise the spirits of the dead". She was sentenced to nine months in Holloway prison.

i think the difference is, in the 1500-1700s more people believed in witches and anyone who was a bit different from the norm could have been accused of being a witch, but today i think most people don't believe in witches, but you'll find a few people who are who think they are a witch

Don't you think that we have moved on, since then...???
But even so, the woman was only preying on weak by bereavement people, to extort money.
It happens everyday.
But none of those scammers actually advocates to strip women call them witches and beat the living daylights out of them.

the crime of being a witch was abolished by the 1735 Witchcraft Act.
but more shocking, 400 people in England and 2,000 in Scotland were executed following accusations of witchcraft in the 16th and 17th centuries.
you didn't want to be in Scotland in them days, i tread carefully as there are many scots on here
are the scots more

I once saw appaling footage filmed in a market place in Somalia,woman who wanted to leave her husband was stripped naked,beaten,then stoned to death,not every country in the world has the same mindset as we in the UK,its a harsh old world out there though I have to admit I never heard of witchcraft when I was in India but juju was big in africa and there were similar brutally ending stories I remember meeting a guy with an amulet who told me no bullets could harm him,sadly I never got to put his faith to the test
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

Off on a slight tangent but still sort of keeping on topic,James if you have time pop into silliman and check if they still have the small anthropological artefact museum,it had a tiny room devoted to pinoy witches and their spells,lots of voodoo type dolls from siquijor,interesting stuff.
