Cow drowned into the sea for being impregnated by human
Thu, 10/23/2008 10:59 AM | Bali (JP/Alit Kertaraharja) Villagers from Julah in Tejakula, Buleleng, tow (see photo) a pregnant cow behind a boat into open sea as part of a local traditional ritual. The cow, which is five months pregnant, was thrown out to the sea about 3 kilometers from land Monday. The villagers believe the animal was impregnated by a village elder. During the ritual the man, who was caught red-handed having sexual intercourse with the cow two months ago, joined the boat trip in order to throw away his clothes to to symbolize him discarding his sins. Julah customary village head Ketut Sidemen said the ritual, called gamya gamana, or freak weeding, and had been conducted there for generations. The decision to perform the ritual was made a local residents meeting. In line with customary regulations, the perpetrator, identified only as PS, 70, was sanctioned to fund the expensive ceremony, which aimed to cleanse him of any bad influences. Luh Ketut Suryani, a professor and activist, deplored the sancation against PS. She said drowning a cow was baseless because sexual intercourse between a human being and am animal could not cause pregnancy due to the different chromosomes and genes of the two. "The cow is not guilty, why shoud it be drowned? Why don't just use a symbol like what was done by the perpetrator?" she said. Suryani's said she was concerned dealt with the financial situation of the owner, who lives below the poverty line. "The cow, which has a high price, had to be thrown away. It will be a pity for the owner, who is already poor and is now forced to lose his priceless belonging." -- JP/Alit Kertaraharja There's your surprise. Creepy old man is creepy..like Mccain :) ------------- My shoes of peace have steel toes. |

Ugh. It's doubtful that "American soldiers", attacked civilians with the purpose of killing them, and then extracting. It's obvious that there was more to the situation than that. No such thing as bad press though, eh? I'm pretty sure this isn't going to become another event he can capitalize on..you've got to be kidding... |

Right, what was McCain's quote though? Something along the lines of "Whatever it takes to get Bin Laden. Even if I have to meet him at the gates of Hell"? McCain is talking about invading Lucifer's domain. How is that any better then Obama possibly sending special forces into Syria? Edit: found the McCain quote: "I'll get him. I will follow Bin Laden to the gates of hell and I will get him. I promise you that." ------------- Skillet: I've never been terribly fond of the look of a vagina |

He probably did, but McCain's saying it had more bearing on the topic I thought? How many people have used the lipstick on a pig comment, but they singled out Obama when he said it after Palin's bulldog comment? ------------- Skillet: I've never been terribly fond of the look of a vagina |

Funny how some troops manage to fly into a off-limits country and land, shoot a bunch of people including children ON A CONSTRUCTION SITE, then leave. That's believable.  -------------

I love how the numerous articles headline it as if "THE US ATTACKS SYRIA!!!!". Its a big deal, but not the beginning on WW3 as most people want to push as they can be the forefront of the government hate bandwagon. ------------- |

Am I going to have to be the first to say this?
So? Where's the evidence that A) They were unarmed civilians and B) There were children? Syria, and Iran, have much to gain by making this look like a cold blooded assault on a family building a house. I honestly could give a damn about a countries "sovereign borders" if they support terrorism. But that's just me. -------------

This thread makes me think of that one scene in Full Metal Jacket.
"How can you shoot women and children?" "It's easy! Just don't lead them as much!" |

Hold up a sec- let's get back to the part where a small
village has enough cow rapists that they have developed rituals to deal with it. I think the wrong place was bombed. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America.

I agree with you, but the whole topic is about an October Surprise. The implication is Bush is trying to rig the election. |

The election is in November. Should I be "pre-surprised" for it, or something? Because otherwise I have to wait till next month. Get back to me on that. ------------- BU Engineering 2012 |

| I attempted to be diplomatic and not throw that in there, but I'm wondering if he just realizes that it really doesn't matter what he does to piss people off anymore so he's completely disregarding world opinion and smashing people he doesn't like. |

Its called an OCTOBER surprise for a reason.  Once that sinks in get back to me on it.

You missed the sarcasm. If this is all Bush can go out on...I mean come on, it's not even impressive. Like put up some fireworks or SOMETHIN'. ------------- BU Engineering 2012 |

Hmm. I didn't know that not liking Bush was restricted
to college-types. Also, the statement was kind of tongue-in-cheek to begin with. ------------- irc.esper.net #paintball |

I for one will miss the Bush tax cuts. You know, the ones that will increase taxes under obama (even for people making $40,000 a year or more... But, no one talks about... (because they "expire", so they are not considered a tax "increase"...) No wonder Obama won't take questions from the press anymore... |
Posted By: Predatorr

..you do know that Bush doesn't sign off on each and every mission that takes place, don't you? And it's more than likely that all isn't what it seems. We don't go into a village and "shoot innocent civilians" unless they really weren't. Making a habit of believing the press is a bad one. |
