 A girl missed her periรธd 2 months ago, her mom took her to the clinic for prฤ“gnancy test of which it was positive. Embฤrrassed, her mom said, who is the pig that got you prฤ“gnant?  The girl picked up her phone and made a call. An hour later, a young handsome man drove in Ferrari to the girls house.  Good evening, the man greeted... Your daughter told me the prรธblem in the house. I can't marry for now because of my family issues, but I promise I will take care of her for the rest of her life, and if she gives birth to a girl, I promised to buy her a mansion, 2 jeeps and 1million dollars. If it's a boy, I 'll buy her houses in a country side, 5 jeeps, 2 big factories and 5 million dollars in her account. If it's twins, I 'll do anything she asked. But if there's miscarriage, what do you suggest I do?  The girl father silently pat the young man on his shoulder and said , my son, if there is mฤซscarriage, you'll sleep with her again.

 WARNING! PHOTO BELOW ARE NOT MET FOR THE WEAK HEART. Please note: The following subject matter is of immense importance, but could be difficult to read. There is a Frank Discussion Of Rape And Other Atrocities Committed During War. After entering a large museum in one of the world’s most ancient cities and the former capital of the Chinese empire, Nanking—or Nanjing as it’s known today—my 18-year-old daughter Sophia and I walked over a glass walkway that allowed us to look down 10 feet of earth and observe an ancient footpath. Lights highlighted the ground under the glass while the room we were in was dark.  To our right hung numerous photographs on a black wall showing Japanese soldiers slaughtering Chinese citizens in December 1937 revealed by individual lights, the types one sees on art museum paintings. Dead babies, severed heads, piles of bodies on Yangtze River banks, and helpless prisoners of war were all documented there by photographs taken by the perpetrators themselves, Imp

Terrible torture museum.

 Terrible  torture museum. I had the pleasure of visiting Prague this weekend, and walking past the "Torture Museum" instantly grabbed my attention.  For all my adult life I've had a huge interest in history, but the macabre side of history has always fascinated me. Which I guess bleeds over into the psychology of how and why people can do what they do to each other. Prague torture museum (although pretty small) is certainly fascinating, filled with information and examples of the ways people have inflicted pain on one another. Sometimes the pain is self inflicted in order to prevent greater harm from others.  The chastity belt is a prime example of this. Most people, including myself, think the chastity belt was forced upon women by their husbands to ensure they were faithful whilst the husband was away crusading. Whilst this is possible, wearing one for more than a couple of days would cause severe infections from the metal abrasions, along with the inability to wash. I
