PLASTIC BOTTLES: 20 TIMES STRONGER THAN BRICKS

Life in Africa has many challenges: from disease to poverty and war. The continent also has a reputation for extreme difficulties that are fixable, but a lack of resources often prevents the problems from being solved.This is where resourcefulness comes into play: if you don’t have what you need make do with what you already have. A surplus of empty plastic bottles is something that not only affects Africa, but the entire planet. (Read More)

If a back-alley trannie offers to inject cement into your ass cheeks, just say no

Some people are desperate to get bigger butts and more curves, but no matter how desperate you are, going to a transsexual woman in some dark room so she can inject a mixture of cement and god-knows-what-else into your ass cheeks is never a good idea.

North Miami Beach police kill mentally disabled man carrying toy gun (or why I will never, ever go to Florida)

North Miami Beach police kill mentally disabled man carrying toy gun (or why I will never, ever go to Florida):

mgolladwyne:

MIAMI (CBS/WFOR) — North Miami Beach Police are piecing together an officer-involved shooting and killing of a mentally disabled man. The man was originally thought to be carrying a gun but it was later determined to be a toy rifle.

Officials told CBS station WFOR that the incident began Wednesday afternoon when officers responded to several calls about a man seen walking around with a rifle. Witnesses told the station that at one point the man aimed the rifle at a neighborhood dog.

According to police reports, when officers arrived there was some sort of confrontation which caused one officer to open fire on the man. However, a subsequent investigation revealed that the “rifle” was a toy. The injured man was then taken to a local hospital where he later died. Family members say the man police killed was 56-year-old Ernest Vassell.

“They murdered him in cold blood for a toy gun!” cried Vassell’s older sister Claire Harding. “That’s no reason for you to kill somebody!”

Vassell’s sisters say they have never seen him with a toy gun and believe he must have found it somewhere. They say he was mentally disabled after a brain injury as a child and that he has never been violent.

“They could tell him to drop the gun. They say they told him to drop it and he raised his hand,” Harding told WFOR. “He probably raised his hand to hand them the gun because he is afraid of police.”

The family is now demanding answers and changes to the North Miami Beach Police Department.

“They should train these police officers better,” said Harding. “This is ridiculous, they just go around killing people for nothing.”

Police maintain the toy gun appeared to be a real rifle. One officer is on administrative leave while police and the state attorney’s office investigate this incident.

Burial? Cremation? What about just liquifying your useless dead ass?

iheartchaos:

Burial and cremation are so yesterday. So third world, so 1st century. In the future, all the cool people will have their remains liquified when they die. Personally, I’m partial to a Tibetan sky burial, but there are no really tall mountains around here, so I’d be fine with doing it on the roof of a KFC/Taco Bell. I’d disappear eventually.

“If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal”, then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.”

Man DECAPITATES HIMSELF after Argument with Wife (WIDK)

(Daily News By MICHAEL SHERIDAN) — A divorced man decapitated himself with a cable in Virginia on Tuesday after getting into a dispute with his ex-wife, authorities said.

Police arrived at the home in Yorktown after receiving a call about a domestic dispute around 10 a.m., according to the Virginia Gazette.

They were talking with the ex-wife when a deputy saw a white Ford Explorer towing a utility trailer. The trailer was on fire, and a man identified as her ex-husband was behind the wheel.

Firefighters arrived, and authorities attempted to get the man to exit the SUV. That’s when they noticed a cable tied to a nearby tree was wrapped around his neck.

Officers pleaded with the man to surrender, but instead he hit the gas. He was pulled from the car, and his head was yanked clean off his body. The vehicle continued moving for about 150 yards.

“Nobody has ever heard of anything like this,” Sheriff Danny Diggs said, according to The Associated Press. “It’s a really bizarre incident.”

Authorities did not release the man’s name because his death was ruled a suicide.

Originally from Chicago, the man had spent the night with his ex-wife and got into an altercation with her that morning, police said.
