I find it ironic that this page which was posted to this server in early 2000 then deleted by those that police it on the basis that this wasn't true and there was no PROOF supporting the claims made in it's contents.
In light of recent events world wide and in the US I found the need to post it again. Guess what? It was happening, I guess since it was just women being affected instead of the World Trade Center and our countries oil supply our Pot Smoking, Hillbilly, Sex Addict President Bill Cli_ton couldn't be bothered. The only women's right that Arkie Cracker Bastard believed in was a woman's right to get on their knees and suck his dick!

Dear Friends, Please
do not ignore this email. This is something that we as women and essentially
as human beings (Men Included) need to support. I don't know if this is going to help
but take 3 minutes out of your life to do your part. Madhu, the government
of Afghanistan, is waging a war upon women. Since the Taliban took power
in 1996, women have had to wear burqua and have been beaten and stoned
in public for not having the proper attire, even if this means simply not
having the mesh covering in front of their eyes. One woman was beaten to
death by an angry mob of fundamentalists for accidentally exposing her
arm while she was driving. Another was stoned to death for trying to leave
the country with a man that was not a relative. Women are not allowed to
work or even go out in public without a male relative; professional women
such as professors, translators, doctors, lawyers, artists and writers
have been forced from their jobs and stuffed into their homes. Homes where
a woman is present must have their windows painted so that she can never
be seen by outsiders. They must wear silent shoes so that they are never
heard. Women live in fear of their lives for the slightest misbehavior.
Because they cannot work, those without male relatives or husbands are
either starving to death or begging on the street, even if they hold Ph.D.s.
Depression is becoming so widespread that it has reached emergency levels.
There is no way in such an extreme Islamic society to know the suicide
rate with certainty, but relief workers are estimating that the suicide
rate among women must be extraordinarily high: those who cannot find proper
medication and treatment for severe depression and would rather take their
lives than live in such conditions. At one of the rare hospitals for women,
a reporter found still,nearly lifeless bodies lying motionless on top of
beds, wrapped in their burqua, unwilling to speak, eat, or do anything,
but slowly wasting away.
Others have gone
mad and were seen crouched in corners, perpetually rocking or crying, most
of them in fear. When what little medication that is left finally runs
out, one doctor is considering leaving these women in front of the president's
residence as a form of protest. It is at the point where the term "human
rights violations" has become an understatement. Husbands have the power
of life and death over their women relatives, especially their wives, but
an angry mob has just as much right to stone or beat a woman, often to
death, for exposing an inch of flesh or offending them in the slightest
way. Women enjoyed relative freedom: to work, to dress generally as they
wanted, and to drive and appear in public alone until only 1996. The rapidity
of this transition is the main reason for the depression and suicide; Women
who were once educators or doctors or simply used to basic human freedoms
are now severely restricted and treated as subhuman in the name of rightwing
fundamentalist Islam. It is not their tradition or 'culture,' but it is
alien to them, and it is extreme even for those cultures where fundamentalism
is the rule. Everyone has a right to a tolerable human existence. If we
can threaten military force in Kosovo the name of human right for the sake
of ethnic Albanians, citizens of the world can certainly express peaceful
outrage at the oppression, murder and injustice committed against women
by the Taliban.
STATEMENT: In signing this, we agree that the
current treatment of women in Afghanistan is completely UNACCEPTABLE
and deserves action by the United Nations and that the current situation
overseas will not be tolerated. Women's Rights is not a small issue anywhere,
and it is UNACCEPTABLE for women in 2000 to be treated as subhuman and
as so much property. Equality and human decency is a FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT,
not a freedom to be granted, whether one lives in Afghanistan or elsewhere.
Here is another valid example of how the RIGHT TO OWN AND CARRY CONCEALED
FIREARMS could stop a lot of horrible violence. What man in his right mind
would try to beat a women to death if there was a chance that she was carrying
a concealed weapon? I don't care how big your balls are, you're not going
to want to take the chance of being shot. Most people are afraid of dying.
(In this case I don't think the threat can be classified as human.)
I find it funny that as a country we're willing to commit BILLIONS OF US
TAX PAYERS DOLLARS!!! to fix problems that could be alleviated if:
1) Every
person on the planet was properly shown how to use a weapon.
2) Teach
children at an early age, this should solve the problem of them playing with real firearms thinking they are toys."
3) Make
it illegal to carry an UNLOADED FIREARM. This will alleviate the defense of "I didn't know it was loaded."
4) Now we
have to get the ruling powers to allow their constituants to actually CARRY
their waepons. The problem here could that the ruling body may not want to loose
votes over the fact that the public learns that their crime bill wasn't worth
a shit. All we needed to do was learn how to safely and effectively do the job ourselves.
5) Why is
it that the police always show up after the crime has been commited?
6) How many
of you can directly attribute any law or law enforcement official from
directly preventing any harm to you, your family, and/or property?
7) How many
of you can say that having a firearm in your posession directly prevented
any harm to you, your family, and/or property?
EXAMPLE 1: An assailant is armed with a baseball bat. Your armed with a phone. The assailant swings the bat. You dial 911. Realistically what's the logical outcome of this incident?
EXAMPLE 2: An assailant is armed with a baseball bat. Your armed with a firearm. The assailant swings the bat. You pull the trigger. Better outcome on your behalf than in the previous example. Wouldn't you agree?
