Something about how to cook a bag of cats.

You're the one in China. Can you do some research for me?

[Anonymous]

the traditional Chinese method to cook cats is not to actually cook them.

you pull some bones out, sow it back up, then stick it in a jar or bottle with some alcohol (wine, moonshine, sake, vodka, whiskey). you let that kitty sit in the container for a few years. when you feel like it (you can wait a few decades if you want) you drink the liquid wine-shine-sake-cat-tea. according to traditional chinese medicine, it gives you the ability to walk silently, jump ten times your height, and always land on your feet. also it also gives you a big cock and tons of sexual stamina, or if youre a girl, bit tits and small feet.

Gives a whole new meaning to whiskey. (hint: whiskers, whiskey, duh, for the mentally disabled among us)

you can also throw the kitty bits into your next stir-fry. also gives big cock and superhuman  cat-bilities. If you eat the kitty penis, you get many many children. the younger the kitty and the bigger her litter, the more children you will receive. all i gots to say, is those chiggers love the kitty dick.

hmm. I thought all of that was for tigers?

I hope people realize that when the tiger finally becomes extinct its going to be because of chinks. People always blame the poachers, and Im like, hey bitch, they wouldnt be doing it if people werent paying big fucking money for it.

Also.. it doesnt look like the chinese need anything to help with fertility. maybe something to guarantee theyll get a boy, since thats the third little girl they had to sell into sex slavery. (damn one-child only law)

hmm. I thought all of that was for tigers?

no, apparently it's for everything on the planet that was once alive and not completely poisonous. They eat monkeys, snakes, rhinos, hippos, lions, dogs, giraffes, gorillas, elephants, insects, EVERYTHING. supposedly, all of these "traditional chinese medicinal foods" are supposed to all give you a large penis and superhuman abilities. Or maybe just make you think that because you just ate an elephant you will become one somehow in someway and grow a larger penis.


you think they give a fuck about overpopulation? they fuck all they want. if the police find out they really have twenty kids, they just pretend that the brothers and sisters are married and the younger siblings are their kids. Any odd numbered kid that cant be placed is chopped up and cannabilized. the northern chinese are a little more civilized - they run the kid through a meat grinder and mix it with worms, shit, and beef and sell it to mcdonald's as hamburger.


i hate chiggers. good think they will all starve in the coming years, after they exhaust all their natural resources and tear the crap out of the land.

i hate chiggers

All of them?  :seg:

Just the Han chinese (the dominant swarm-race), and just the ones in China. I have no problem with chinese-americans or chinese-anything elses. It's not the people or the (historical/traditional) culture i hate. It's the current society/government and modern chinese culture i hate. And it's not because i'm a hater - i'm no racist i have no problem with other races. It's the way the chinese are treating the planet, their environment, and humanity as a whole, and the modern chinese people's total greed, ignorance, primitivity, and lack of "thought outside the box" is what i hate.

[Anonymous]

Che, you live in the heart of slant-eye rat country. any comment? any personal observations regarding how you may find the Han despicable? Comments on pollution? health? human rights? censorship? food? working/living conditions? social strata? justice? education? mindset? I'd like to hear from you. you always have an opinion, and you have the experience to have the right to speak and be heard in this case....

Let's keep this on track.. heh.

Hop on down to the Melting pot for the answers to the last post if yall will.

Thanks.

[Anonymous]

oh wait...

Che is in china. IN CHINA. that means if he says anything bad about china, or probably even reads this thread one too many times, he'll be facing a firing squad. or deportation. or get forced to eat monkey brains. or maybe fornits might just be blocked by the government and no chinese person will ever hear about the horribly abusive american troubled teen industry and then try to figure out a way to export it. think of the global implications! if fornits gets blocked it might spiral into a war, with millions of casualties,  all on che's shoulders!

poor che.


this is why i hate the Han. there into the whole "keep the people stupid and complacent" song and dance. They go so far as to scare a free-world citizen out of speaking his mind.

Slavery in the 21st Century
Slavery still exists today. Whether it is called human trafficking, bonded labor, forced labor, or sex trafficking, it is present worldwide, including within the United States and, increasingly, in your local community.
An estimated 12 - 27 million people are caught in one or another form of slavery. Between 600,000 and 800,000 are trafficked internationally, with as many as 17,500 people trafficked into the United States. Nearly three out of every four victims are women. Half of modern-day slaves are children.
Slavery Defined
Contemporary slavery has been defined and banned in international treaties and within nations around the world. But outlawing slavery has not prevented its expansion into a multi-billion dollar global industry on a par with drug trafficking and illicit arms sales. Efforts to combat slavery will have only limited effectiveness unless anti-slavery laws are recognized, implemented and enforced by law enforcement officers, courts, and political leaders. Public awareness is also critical: slavery will remain an invisible scourge unless or until an informed public becomes actively engaged and committed in helping identify situations in which some form of slavery is suspected. An aroused public also can bring public pressure to bear those in power to address those cases.
These are widely used definitions of modern slavery:
•   Forced Labor: "all work or service which is exacted from any person under the menace of any penalty and for which the said person has not offered himself [herself] voluntarily." -International Labour Organization
•   Trafficking in Persons: "recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation." - United Nations
•   Trafficking in Persons: "the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery." - United States
Slavery: Past and Present
Slavery today is similar to forms of slavery that have existed for centuries in that these characteristics are found:
•   Control through violence or threat of violence
•   Exploitation for profit
•   Loss of free will
Modern forms of slavery however, are much different in several important ways:
•   No longer a need for legal ownership
•   People caught up in slavery today can be purchased and sold for as little as $100 (compared to 10 times that much in the 1850s). As a result, people become "disposable;" i.e., easily replaceable.
•   Slavery cuts across nationality, race, ethnicity, gender, age, class, education-level, and other demographic features.
Slave Labor Uses
•   Prostitution, pornography, stripping
•   Domestic servitude (e.g. nannies and maids)
•   Agriculture (e.g. farms and dairies)
•   Hard labor (e.g. construction, landscaping, and mining)
•   Sweatshops
•   Child soldiers
•   Peddling and begging
•   Hospitality industries (e.g. hotels and restaurants)
•   Other poorly regulated industries
Slavery in the United States
Contemporary slavery/human trafficking remains a reality for many victims in the United States, where both American citizens and foreign nationals are trafficked into and within the United States for forced labor. Victims are men, women, and children and are from diverse nationalities, ethnicities and religions. They are found in any situation where another person is willing to exploit another for profit. Victims have included, among others:
•   Members of a Zambian boys choir who were forced to sing to earn their traffickers a profit and withheld from obtaining an education were promised;
•   Hearing-impaired Mexicans (men, women and children) who were forced to peddle items on the streets of New York to earn money for their traffickers;
•   South Asian women forced to work in a textile factory without pay and with constant physical and sexual violence against them
•   Young American girls forced to prostitute themselves on the streets of Los Angeles (and dozens of other cities) while under constant physical and sexual violence from pimps and those purchasing the sex;
•   Latino men forced to work on farms without pay, long hours, under armed guard, and constant violence or threat of violence against them.

Slavery, Chocolate, and YOU!
August 9, 2009 Posted by Kilian Moote
Earlier this month over 50 young kids, ages 11-17 were rescued out of slavery on chocolate farms in the Ivory Coast, an area continuously effected by forced labor and slavery.  As reported on Interpol’s website:
“The children had been bought by plantation owners needing cheap labour to harvest the cocoa and palm plantations. They were discovered working under extreme conditions, forced to carry massive loads seriously jeopardizing their health.  Aged between 11 and 16, children told investigators they would regularly work 12 hours a day and receive no salary or education. Girls were usually purchased as house maids and would work a seven-day week all year round, often in addition to their duties in the plantations.”
As a consumer we need to do our part to help end forced labor within the chocolate industry!  As a consumer there are three things Not For Sale Campaign will engage you to do:
Free2work.org
Use your power of choice to change demand by joining a community of consumers engaged in this fight on Free2work.org.
Proof of Non-Purchase
Order or download “proof of non-purchases” to encourage your favorite retailer to stock freely made chocolate
Use Chocolate for YOUR next fundraiser:
Not For Sale Campaign has partnered with Sweet Earth Chocolate to create a fundraiser that will support you in your fundraising goal while also supporting NFS Ghana, and the best part is all the chocolate is produced using fair labor practices!  For more info email freechocolate@notforsalecampaign.org
NFS Supports Legislation that Helps Prevent Trafficking in San Francisco!
June 25, 2009 Posted by Kilian Moote


Legislation introduced by San Francisco Supervisor Carmen Chu and Mayor Gavin Newsom supported by the Not For Sale Campaign passed with a near unanimous vote.   The new legislation will increase transparency and provide additional regulation over the massage industry in San Francisco, an extremely high probability industry in San Francisco for trafficking.  Not For Sale Campaign President, David Batstone, provided testimony in support of both pieces of legislation.  Among the needed changes this new legislation enhances the ability of the city to revoke licenses from high-probability industries and increases cooperation and dialogue between various regulating agencies, needed changes David has advocated for since the beginning of the campaign.
Not For Sale would like to thank Mayor Gavin Newsom and Supervisor Carmen Chu for their work introducing legislation that would increase the cities ability to prevent trafficking from occuring.

President Obama’s Next “Anti-human Trafficking Czar”?
April 17, 2009 Posted by Kilian Moote


President Obama has nominated Lou De baca as the next “anti-human trafficking Czar” and we are doing what we can to help ensure he is confirmed.
Throughout his service to the U.S. Government, Mr. de Baca has played a valuable role advising, directing, and enforcing the federal anti-trafficking policies.  During his tenure as lead prosecutor, Mr. de Baca saw the conviction of more than 100 traffickers and liberated more than 600 victims, records unchallenged in a post-reconstruction era.
As one of the first governmental anti-slavery and anti-trafficking advocates, Mr. de Baca began working on the issue of human trafficking in the mid-1990s, first pioneering the use of servitude statutes to prosecute exploitative pimps for violating their victims’ rights.  During the Clinton Administration he helped convene the first national interagency working group on human trafficking and spearheaded the Justice Department’s efforts to update slavery statutes, which resulted in the passage of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000.

The Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons requires a leader who has an extensive background and knowledge of this issue, along with the ability to cooperate with a diverse constituency, multiple government agencies, and direct a variety of programs.  Mr. de Baca’s experience securing traffickers’ convictions, liberating victims, and directing policy has had a substantial impact on the United States success in confronting trafficking.
Mr. de Baca needs your suppor!  Sign our online petition to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to support his confirmation!

Calling All Canadians! Human trafficking bill needs your support!
April 10, 2009 Posted by Kilian Moote
A bill introduced by Canadian MP Joy Smith, which increases minimum sentences for offences involving trafficking of minors, needs your support.  Tell your MP to vote in favor of bill C-268 to amend the Criminal Code by calling your Parliament Office at 1 (866) 599-4999.
Mrs. Smith is one of the leading advocates in the Canadian Parliament focusing on human trafficking, and a close friend of the campaign.  On his recent trip to Canada David Batstone, President of the Not For Sale Campaign, had the pleasure to meet with Mrs. Smith shortly after she had introduced this needed legislation.  On March 25th, the 202nd anniversary of the abolition of slavery in Canada, Mrs. Smith  hailed the work of the Not For Sale Campaign, our Canadian partners, and creation of slaverymap.ca, in Parliament stating:
Dr. David Batstone, co-founder of the Not For Sale Campaign, has led modern day abolitionists’ to combat human trafficking. I am pleased to commend Dr. David Batstone, Professor Benjamin Perrin and the students of the University of British Columbia “Human Trafficking Working Group” as well as the Canadian Religious Conference for launching the website, slaverymap.ca last week, a tool to track human trafficking cases in Canada.
I would invite honourable members and all Canadians to visit the website, and help end slavery once and for all in Canada.
We are asking that you, our Canadian constituent, support Mrs. Smith and bill C-268 by calling your MP in Parliament and urging them to support this legislation.

As we’ve been following over the past few weeks there have been numerous calls for modern-day slavery to find its way onto the radar of the new administration. From our own wildly successful petition to, New York Times columnist, Nicholas Kristof’s illuminating articles it looks as if our collective voices are beginning to be heard.
During today’s confirmation hearing of Secretary of State Designate Hillary Clinton answered a question on human trafficking:
Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA):
I don’t think we can look away from the plight of women around the world. Nicholas Kristof confronts this issue in a series of compelling articles… Kristof tells us the story of a Vietnamese girl who was kidnapped at age 13. She was sold into sex slavery in Cambodia. When she refused to see customers, she was tortured brutally with electric shocks and locked in a coffin filled with insects. And Kristof details another story in a piece called “If this isn’t Slavery than what is?” in which a young Cambodian girl had her eye gouged out by a brothel owner after taking time off to recover from a forced abortion. I’m introducing some legislation—one is a companion piece to Rep. Carolyn Maloney and another is the Afghan Women Empowerment Act. That’s just the beginning. Senator I know how deeply you feel about this so I wanted you to take a little more time to talk about your commitment to this particular issue and obviously I would be so pleased if we could work on legislation to fight this immorality.

Secretary of State Designate Hillary Clinton:
As Secretary of State I view these issues as central to our foreign policy, not as adjunct or auxiliary or in any way lesser from all of the other issues that we have to confront. I too have followed the stories…this is not culture, this is not custom, this is criminal. And it will be my goal to persuade more governments as I spoke with Beijing some thirteen years ago that we cannot have a free, prosperous, peaceful, progressive world if women are treated in such a discriminatory and violent way. I’ve also ready closely Nick Kristof’s articles over the last many months on the young women he’s both rescued from prostitution and met who have been enslaved, tortured in every way—physically, emotionally, morally and I take very seriously the function of the State Department to lead the US Government through the Office on Human Trafficking to do all that we can to end this modern form of slavery. We have sex slavery. We have wage slavery and it is primarily a slavery of girls and women. I look forward, Senator, to reviewing your legislation and work with you as a continuing partnership on behalf of these issues we care so much about. And finally, the work that the women of the Senate did in connection with First Lady Laura Bush on behalf of the women of Afghanistan has been extremely important. That program started in the State Department. It was assisted by an organization I helped to start in the White House called Vital Voices. Mrs. Bush has been outspoken on behalf of Afghan women…and other women facing oppression around the world… We’re going to have a very active Women’s Office a very active Office on Human Trafficking. We’re going to be speaking out consistently and strongly against the discrimination and oppression of women and slavery in particular because I think that is in keeping with not only our American values but American national security interests as well.

New UN Report on Human Trafficking
February 12, 2009 Posted by Kilian Moote

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime is releasing a new global report it conducted on human trafficking today. The report will not mention any new quantitative estimates but instead focus on current global trends.
Some highlights of the report:
•   In Central Asia and Eastern Europe 60% of convicted traffickers are woman
•   The South African region reported the weakest in combating human trafficking. Of the 11 countries only Zambia has prosecuted suspects since 2003
•   79% of the victims were found to be exploited sexually
•   Cases of human trafficking previously overlooked included forced marriages, ritual killings, and organ harvesting
Overall the report found that although efforts globally have increased substantially since 2003 the majority of countries still remain ill-equipped to combat human trafficking.
The full-report should be made available on the UN resources page soon.

Now this did surprise me, though I suspect it shouldn't given how rife poverty is in India. With the Indian claim to fame of the world's largest middle class of 200 million they over look the 800 million wallowing in cow shit.
