Ask dumb questions here!

[shorebird]

How about we let people who are dumb enough to post work-related shtein on their FB page dig their own hole and not worry about it?

seriously...especially when its an adult we are talking about here...its not like you are teaching your 13 year old kid not to take candy from a creepy obese sweaty guy whose crawl space smells like death

in fact im all about facebook taking down as many people as possible....then perhaps people wont post on it anymore...let em all hang themselves gat dammit

For real, the only thing I say about my job of FB is how much I love it!

I automatically get the week of Christ-mas off work, and have a total of 9 vacation days left. 5 are definitely going to be used the week before xmas; do I use the other 4 the week before that or take the week of Thanksgiving off?

[Diomedes]

Take Thanksgiving week off.

I was driving by an elementary school today...and I started thinking, why are the overwhelming majority of pedophiles male? Or is it that male and female pedophiles are equal in numbers, but only the male cases make headlines?

I'm sure there's a statistic somewhere, but that can't be right.

DOn't you watch South Park?

Maybe women don't want to stuff things back up in there that came out recently.

How many times do you have to go out with a lady before you can use a gift card for dinner without appearing cheap?

Just offer to pay and slip the gift card in the check holder thing under your credit card.

I don't know the stats, I'd assume males >> females, but when I've heard about it in the news it seems just as often to be a woman, usually a school teacher or a mom with a son on a hockey team or in boy scouts. Wasn't there a story some years ago of a teacher that did one of her hs students and she went to prison. Then when she got out years later and the kid was grown, they got together and married? Guess they finally beat the system.

But anyway, I think predator women like that should get just as harsh a penalty as a man would, unless they are smokin hot.

Same with these women

Women Who Raped 17 Men Wanted More Than Just Sex

Admit it -- when you hear the term serial rapist, you tend to picture a man, right? But in Zimbabwe, a trio of women in their 20s are being charged for sex attacks of 17 men. When their car was involved in an accident on Friday, police found the women -- Rosemary Chakwizira, 24, Sophie Nhokwara, 26, and her sister, Netsai Nhokwara, 24 -- had a stash of 33 condoms containing semen. Ughhhh. I know!

It seems the women had been targeting male hitchhikers over the past two years, either giving them a drink with a tranquilizer or raping them at gunpoint. Terrifying! And 17 men have come forward to positively identify the three women as having raped them, so it's not just like one or two guys are telling some cockamamie story. Yeeesh. At first glimpse, you might think these women are a.) out of their minds and committed these rapes as a string of senseless acts, or b.) one of them was a totally wacko ringleader forcing the other two to go along for the ride.

But, I'm not so sure. It seems like they all had an ulterior motive.

CNN spoke with a professor of sociology at the University of Zimbabwe who said:

    Some sections of the society use these sperm for ritual purposes. The thinking is that it can be used for regeneration of life since they are source of life (biologically). Some people think that they can have their bad luck gone by using semen. I am sure that explains all this we have been witnessing (men being forced).

Not that this makes what the women did any less horrifying or completely wrong, but hey, at least there's an explanation. It's still mind-boggling, because how on earth could anyone think they'd be able to rid themselves of bad luck by committing these acts? But clearly, there was something going on here -- with these women's beliefs and/or mental health -- that we just can't understand. Motive aside, these women obviously need to know what they did was totally abhorrent and should face serious punishment. The same as anyone else who had committed these crimes, male or female. Hopefully they will be brought to justice, which might bring their victims at least some peace of mind.

I just made travel arrangements to Zimbabwe.

Someone has not seen pictures of Zimbabwe women.

You're probably thinking of Mary Kay Letourneau.  She was the school teacher near Seattle who had a relationship with one of her students, got knocked up and gave birth to one of their children while serving her prison sentence.  Ultimately, they ended up getting married and had 2 kids together. 

And yes, there are stories on the news about female teachers having sexual relationships with their male students, which is statutory rape, so I guess it is technically rape, but the big difference here is that the boys are usually willing participants and their balloon knots aren't getting torn apart.  I can't imagine those kids suffer from the same type of lifelong trauma that Sandusky's rape victims will.

Why does the letter 'j' show up at the end of email messages? Usually from people from work emails.

[rjs246]

It's a smilie. Some email programs have difficulty translating a smilie face from Outlook so it comes across as a J.

And yes I want to kill myself for knowing that.

[hbionic]

Wow...that is sad that you know that. I'm also depressed to know this was the actual explanation.

You just lost the points you just gained for sackmagnet.
