Bizarre!  That article reads like something out of a poorly written kink magazine...  Those Al Shabaab guys (peace be upon them and their families) are crazier than the Australian government!  Their received wisdom makes even less sense than my wise crack.  There really isn’t a sane place left on the planet, is there?

All the more reason to stay here and get serious about fixing this place.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Xanthippa:

Hmmm... presumably the reason the shake them is to fluff them up, like pillows that have been in storage for a while...  Is that actually a law over there or is it just something they made up on the spot because they’re fun guys who really know how to show a girl a good time?

&lt;em&gt;Xanthippa says:

CodeSlinger, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1220864/Whipped-wearing-deceptive-bra-Hardline-Islamists-Somalia-publicly-flog-women-sharia-crackdown.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;read it and weep!&lt;/a&gt;

Sharia forbids the wearing of &#039;deceptive clothing&#039; - such as women dressing as men, and so on (there is a loophole:  if a man it trying to deceive his enemies (like, say, kufurs), he may wear a burka or otherwise disguise himself as a woman...but ONLY while fighting-type-thingie).

These hard line Islamists deduced that push-up bras are a form of a deception, because it makes even women with floppy breast look as if they had firm breasts.  Since Sharia forbids the wearing of deceptive clothing, it was their duty to make sure that no woman was transgressing against Sharia!

So, they would demand that women remove their bra and shake their breasts.  If they did not look firm without the bra, then the woman was guilty of wearing deceptive clothing and was whipped!  If it weren&#039;t so serious, I&#039;d make jokes, like asking if these guys wore &#039;official bra inspector&#039; t-shirts, but, it&#039;s just too close to the truth to be funny.

By the way - breasts are not &#039;like pillows&#039;.  They do not &#039;fluff-up&#039; when shaken!]]></description>

Well, it’s either that, or we watch as they make it illegal for small-breasted women to be in the presence of teddy bears...

&lt;em&gt;Xanthippa says:

CodeSlinger, I wonder if they will make it illegal for small-breasted women to nurse their infants!

I mean - they could get a whole new branch of police - measuring the breasts of women who are breast-feeding!  If the cup does not measure up - they are &#039;doing kiddie porn&#039;!!!  Throw them in jail, those perverts!  Letting underage children suck on their child-like, unfeminine breasts...that is sexual abuse of those children!  And - by their own mothers!!!

Perhaps they could get the Somali police to train this squad:  you know, the ones who force women to remove their bra and shake their breasts, to see if they are using the bra to &#039;disguise their feminine body-shape&#039;!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Xanthippa:

The whole concept of a “sex offence” is as shady as the idea of a “hate crime.”  If someone is harmed, does it really matter if sex or hate are involved?  No, it does not.  And does it really matter if sex or hate are involved, as long as no one is harmed?  No, it does not.

The crime, if there is one, is exclusively defined by the harm done, if any.

What we have here is another attempt to redefine non-crimes as crimes, so as to rationalize the real crimes and shield the real villains: the scheming, controlling, organizational psychopaths who dominate the bureaucracy.

We already have on the books more than enough laws to deal with any real crime.  Writing new laws and defining new crimes is nothing but pure lawfare, practiced by the state against its own people at the instigation of these psychopaths.

This is evil.  But, fortunately, it is eventually self-limiting.  When everything is a crime, nothing is a crime.  When everyone is listed as a sex-offender, being a sex-offender ceases to be a stigma.

The whole thing will eventually blow over, like the medieval witch trials and the more recent witch hunts over “satanic ritual abuse” and “recovered memories.”  And, again fortunately, the life cycles of these aberrations are getting shorter.  The Inquisition lasted for centuries, but the ritual abuse mania lasted only about a decade.

Not that this alleviates the real tragedies visited on the people who are wrongly stigmatized while the whole sorry business is still gathering steam, and before it gets so exaggerated that no one takes it seriously any longer.  The real victims are the falsely convicted, who “died in jail” while imprisoned for crimes that never happened.

But the lingering damage is that these hysterias result in the passage of draconian laws and corrupt methods of law enforcement.  These laws stay on the books, and these methods become standard practice, and thus our once free and just society is corroded and subverted from within.

In the current “internet kiddie porn” craze, the real targets are freedom and privacy.  First of all, the term “kiddie” is deliberately misleading and inflammatory.  One is invited to picture an infant or toddler, when in fact these cases typically involve physically mature and sexually knowing teenagers, who are very often instigators and not at all the passive victims we are lead to imagine.

And our emotional reactions to these false images are used to justify much greater evils, committed by the state.  Consider, for example, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=121964&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;recent case&lt;/a&gt; of a 44-year-old man, accused of having sexual conversations and performing sexual acts on a web camera in front of &lt;b&gt;a police officer posing as a 15-year-old girl.&lt;/b&gt;

Whatever you may think of the man’s sexual habits, it is very clear that he is not the worst offender in this twisted scenario.  &lt;b&gt;Under &lt;/i&gt;no&lt;/i&gt; circumstances is it &lt;i&gt;ever&lt;/i&gt; legitimate for an on-duty police officer to express interest in having sex with a 44-year-old man while posing as a 15-year-old girl!&lt;/b&gt;

Do not let your opinion of the man blind you to the fact that this is &lt;b&gt;the &lt;i&gt;vilest&lt;/i&gt; form of entrapment!&lt;/b&gt;  Let’s be very clear what happened here: when the cop told the man her pretended age, &lt;b&gt;he turned off the video camera and &lt;i&gt;he tried to break off&lt;/i&gt; the conversation, but &lt;i&gt;she kept wheedling&lt;/i&gt; until he gave in&lt;/b&gt; and turned it back on!

How sick is that?  How &lt;i&gt;wrong&lt;/i&gt; is it?  How &lt;i&gt;illegal&lt;/i&gt; is it?

This cop should be thrown off the force in disgrace!  But the sad fact of the matter is, the man will probably get convicted of a crime he would not have committed, had he not been led astray, tempted and goaded into it by a police officer, and the said police officer will probably get a commendation... from the morally degenerate organizational psychopaths who created the whole sordid situation in the first place!

By far the worst criminals in this situation are the conniving, bureaucratic psychopaths who pervert the machinery of state, and corrupt the law courts and turn the police force into a gang of con men and whores, just to satisfy their own sick and twisted lust for power.

I’ve argued elsewhere that the bureaucracy must be dismantled, whatever it may cost and however difficult it may be.  And nothing could better demonstrate why this is so important, than the issues raised by this post.

&lt;em&gt;Xanthippa says:

Agreed.

What I&#039;m wondering is if the architects of this law can be charged with hate crimes, for demeaning small-breasted women everywhere....or for misogyny of equating femininity with breast size.  Sort-of turn their own weapons against them.]]></description>

&lt;em&gt;Xanthippa says:

I got 2 emails from them:  one to tell me they are back up, and if I want to re-join, to confirm by clicking it.  Time-stamped 4 minutes later, I got a &#039;confirmation that I had re-joined&#039;.  Of course, I found both emails at once...

So, I wonder if they are still having &#039;technical difficulties&#039;.
