  i grew up being a witness.

  i remember in elementary and somewhat in middle school i used to be really outspoken about being a witness.

  i even had my own study with a classmate, which thankfully he lost interest because i was getting tired of it too.. but high school was a different story.

  I had never heard of Sjögren's syndrome before today, so thanks for bringing it to my attention. It sounds awfully debilitating and the threat of developing lymphoma must be a huge worry for sufferers. Venus is fortunate to be in a position to access the best healthcare.

  German city of Bonn taxes prostitutes with meter

  The prostitution meter is said to be the first of its kind

  The German city of Bonn has installed a meter to tax prostitutes for soliciting on its streets at a rate of six euros (£5.30; $8.70) per night.

  Those who fail to pay face fines or even a ban, and 264 euros were found in the meter when it was first emptied, according to AFP news agency.

  Tax has been levied on prostitutes elsewhere but Bonn is the first city to use a meter, a spokeswoman said.

  But a prostitutes' rights activist said the scheme amounted to double taxation.

  Prostitutes are expected to pay the flat rate, regardless of earnings.

  The machine, which looks like an ordinary parking meter, has been installed in an industrial area near the city centre which favoured by prostitutes and their clients.

  'Consummation areas'

  Isabelle Klotz, a spokeswoman for the city, said they expected to get about 200,000 euros per year from the meter.

  The "consummation areas" are wooden cubicles designed to screen cars

  "Women who work in brothels also pay the tax but until now it had been difficult to get women on the street to pay," she added.

  "Thanks to this new method we will be able to tax them in all fairness with the others."

  There are believed to be about 200 prostitutes in Bonn.

  Juanita Rosina Henning, from the Dona Carmen prostitute support group, demanded the meter's removal, saying prostitutes already paid income tax.

  "This has nothing to do with fiscal equality," she said.

  City officials have restricted the prostitutes' areas of operation to specific quarters but critics say this has made it easier for prostitutes to ply their trade, Reuters news agency reports.

  Bonn has also erected "consummation areas", or wooden garages clients may use to visit prostitutes.

  “Freedom of expression, is the right of every natural person, even if a person chooses to behave irrationally to express his or her insanity.” - Col. Muammar Gaddafi in The Green Book. The Green Book was Gaddafi's manual for Libyan living published in the 70's.

  Unfortunately, I think that Aline Scaf and the rest of the Gaddafi family would use this as a defense for all of their atrocious behaviour.

  Watchtower: "Google is like a mushroom picker"

  by cedars in

  if you don't mind i'll share another gem from my review of the latest watchtower study editions (july to october '11).. one article which seemed riddled with flawed reasoning and bizarre analogies was entitled "the internet - making wise use of a global tool" on page 3 of the august 15th watchtower.. under the heading "information - reliable or false?

  "never assume that all information found on the internet is good and beneficial.

  internet search engines might be compared to a legion of mushroom pickers who tirelessly collect all types of mushrooms - edible as well as poisonous - throwing them into a single container and dishing them out for us to eat.".

  They haven't accounted for the accelerated decay as a result of the Noahic flood...or the possibility of a hoax by Swansea Uni art students.

  Probably. I can't imagine him being too happy with you bringing your own hot fudge sauce. Why not make it a foursome and take Ben & Jerry along with you. That'll really wind him up. :P
