Sure Slavery exists. They call it NBA.

Slavery is just a word. The actual circumstances described by it exist almost everywhere outside of the first world.

That Office gif is a tired bit from a show I don't watch, but 92's butthurt is still funny.

In all honesty, you don't have to ruin someone's thread just for the sake of ruining it. It is very trollish of you longhorndub. This thread is a good idea.. one in which many people would be interested in. It would be nice for a moderator to step up and get rid of a few posts in this thread that were meant to do nothing but hijack/ruin the thread for absolutely no reason other than your own amusement.

Great story - it really made a difference in my life!

Would read again...

Here's another story that actually makes a difference...

Two maids jailed, to be lashed for sorcery
Indonesian maids accused of extorting money from employer by magic

link

A Saudi court gave heavy jail sentences to two Indonesian housemaids and ordered them lashed 700 times with a whip on charges of practising witchcraft to extort money from their employers, a local daily reported on Monday.

The two maids, aged 33 and 25 years, had used clothes and other personal items to cast a spell on the man and his family in Riyadh since they started working for him nearly three years ago, 'Alyoum' newspaper said.

The court in the Saudi capital was told that the two maids used their magic skills to control the family’s life and drain their employer’s financial resources.

“They also controlled his behaviour and the health of all family members…the family started to look feeble and pale and could not do anything to end their ordeal,” the paper quoted the man’s brother as saying.

“They succeeded in extorting much money from the family to send it to their families in Indonesia. They drained the family financially and physically.”

The paper reported the court sentenced the 33-year-old maid to five years in prison and 500 lashes and the other maid to two years in jail and 200 lashes. It also ordered their deportation after completing their jail terms.

Here's the thing..just because a thread doesn't appeal to you does not mean that you need to use it as your personal playground. Is it remotely possible for some of you to be respectful of others?

All he wanted to do was to create a thread for the more serious stories... Is there anything wrong with that or are you so self absorbed in your own life that you cannot take every opportunity to make sure that you're getting high fives from your internet buddies? You just gotta have the positive rep for hijacking a thread by posting something funny. I would hope that your life wouldn't completely revolve around how many positive reps you get in a day.

Why are you hijacking this thread?

I just posted a story that makes a difference and you're burying it with your rant... Stay on topic, please!

EDIT: I just realized that your "rant" might actually be a story that makes a difference - I apologize for my assumption...

Animal cruelty and witchcraft are no laughing matters.

Perhaps it's my sig? Let's try a new one.

In all honesty, it's not a big deal to me. I'm taking up for a guy that just wanted to start a thread for important events and occurrences in our world. As I said, it's really not a huge deal. It is disappointing that certain people cannot be respectful of others, but I guess that's just the way it is. I suppose that's just the type of forum that we have now. I have said my peace, and I am done.

Dirkadirkastan · 12-21-2010, 05:43 PM

I like how holier-than-thou Murphy neg reps me for "helping to hijack a thread", then continues to discuss the hijacking instead of addressing the initial topic posted.

LonghornDub · 12-21-2010, 06:18 PM

Perhaps somewhat ironically, this alleged "hijacking" has caused about 25 more responses than this thread would have otherwise received.
