Police Arrest Rapist for Sexually Molesting 30 Boys

From http://www.965malls.com/

"Why would anyone rape a child? I’ll never ever understand, and I don’t buy this criminal’s motive no matter what.

The rapist is Pakistani this time and he was arrested by police for raping not 11 children as previously thought, but more than 30 boys in Jleeb al-Shuyoukh & Farwaniya, reports Al-Jareeda daily.

Acting on reports the suspect was arrested after several parents complained that the man took his victims to the roof of a building and raped them after threatening to stab them with a knife.

The suspect is said to have admitted to committing the crime and also showed police the knife with which he threatened his victims – he picked his victims from distant and deserted fields where boys played football, he would bribe them with money, a mobile phone or simply threaten them with his knife – the rapist also mentioned that he wore gloves and condoms to make sure not to leave a trace and often changed the crime location.

His motive? Apparently he was raped several times as child and this affected him so deeply he feels the urge to rape a child every time he meets one – correct me if I’m wrong, but if someone was raped as a child he would do anything in his power to stop people from doing the same to other children, no?"

LWDLIK- I saw this in the newspaper but it was in brief. Thank you for posting in English 965; it is a horrendous crime but maybe we should try to understand the motives.

I used to have a personal theory that here in the Middle East, rape among boys seemed to be handled better than in the West. I thought that here it seemed just like a physical pain more than an emotional one. No one seemed to be in therapy or blaming their rapists or perhaps it was just unmanly to talk about such things. Unlike the West where a sexually abused child/adult gets a lot of therapy. Obviously any rape victim needs therapy regardless of geographic location, culture or creed.

Of course this rapist must be punished for his crimes against these boys but please don't forget the boys need to see someone who can help them to cope with what happened.

Only in Kuwait!

I've just borrowed this fresh from my friend's FB status..

"Just seen a driving instructor pull out onto the road... on the phone, no indicator, clip an oncoming car and spin several times. Stopped got out and smacked herself on the head several times while wailing. It was like watching a bad version of Taming of the Shrew and Swan Lake. Classic. Only in kuwait!"

Thanks Carol, we're waiting for the pics ;O)

Sick Man Robs Bank for $1, Demands Jail and Healthcare

A North Carolina man with no health care robbed a bank for $1 in order to go to jail and get his ailments seen to. He is hoping to be convicted of a felony, so he can get the benefits he lost after he was laid off from his 17-year Coca-Cola delivery job. He has carpal tunnel, a bad back, and "a protrusion on his chest." He is in chronic pain. He has promised to reoffend if he isn't convicted and treated.

He took a cab down New Hope Road and picked a bank at random -- RBC Bank.

Verone didn't want to scare anyone. He executed the robbery the most passive way he knew how.

He handed the teller a note demanding one dollar, and medical attention.

"I didn't have any fears," said Verone. "I told the teller that I would sit over here and wait for police."

The teller, however, did have some fears even though Verone never showed a weapon.

Her blood pressure shot up and once Verone was handcuffed by police, the teller was taken to Gaston Memorial Hospital to be checked out.

Verone said he was sorry for causing the woman any pain.


LWDLIK- Is this what some people in need are having to do to get medical attention for free? What a sad day for humanity.

Whining May Be World's Most Annoying Sound

Nails on a blackboard, sirens and heavy drilling: none come close to whining for being the most annoying sound, a study has suggested.

The high-pitched, cat-like sounds that infants begin to make between two-and-a-half and four years of age, otherwise known as whining, were shown to be the most distracting sounds by the study, at least in comparison to other infant cries and “motherese” — the exaggerated baby speak adopted by adults.

Psychologists from SUNY and Clark University put participants through the daft trial of trying to do maths problems while listening to a range of six sounds, including a screeching saw on wood, machine noise, a baby crying, motherese and whining, for a whole minute each. Weirdly, the whining sample actually came from an adult, as child actors could not “act out a sustained whining bout”. Previous research has shown adult and child whining to be similar enough to enable this substitution.

The study subjected both men and women, parents and non-parents, to the tests, who were rewarded for their troubles with either M&Ms or toy shop vouchers, depending on their childrearing experience.

After having looked at the maths results, the psychologists found that while all “attachment vocalisations” — meaning motherese, crying or whining — caused greater distraction than silence to the participants, a minute of whining resulted in a greater number of mistakes than machine noise or motherese. Furthermore, both parents and non-parents were affected similarly by whining.

Those behind the study believe that this demonstrates an evolutionary point behind super-annoying whining, in order to attract attention of a parent or caregiver. Speaking to MSNBC, Rosemarie Sokol Chang, a psychologist involved in the study, said: “It’s telling you to tune in. Nobody wants to sit around and listen to a fire engine siren either, but if you hear the siren go off, it gets your attention. It has to be annoying like that, and it’s the same with the whine.”


LWDLIK- Any parent can tell you that the whining goes on til much later in life. My precious is 8 and has mastered the art. I know my childless friends will appreciate this one ;O)
