Woman suspected of witchcraft burned alive

A woman in rural Papua New Guinea was bound and gagged, tied to a log and set ablaze on a pile of tires this week, possibly because villagers suspected her of being a witch, police said Thursday....

... Early Tuesday morning, a group of people dragged the woman, believed to be in her late teens to early 20s, to a dumping ground outside the city of Mount Hagen. They stripped her naked, bound her hands and legs, stuffed a cloth in her mouth, tied her to a log and set her on fire, Mauba said.

"When the people living nearby went to the dump site to investigate what caused the fire, they found a human being burning in the flames," he said. "It was ugly."...

They should have just thrown her in a lake to see if she floats.

I wonder if she turned anyone into a newt?

[ohskigod]

and people still question the existence of evil, go figure.

the dark things man is capable of no longer surprise me in the least bit.

"WE" don't do this. Backwards "civilizations" that are 200 years behind us? Sure.

You think burning suspected witches is the worst this world has to offer?


(please note : I know you are, in fact, aware of the above, and much more than I am, there is no need to tell me what an idiot I am or how smart you are)

You're an idiot and I'm really smark!

Wanna know why?

'Cause I would have chucked her in a lake to see if she floats.

Shaking my head. Ya can't fix stupid I quess. In that part of the world, they have strong beliefs in that kinda stuff. I couldn't help laughing at your newt comment though Jstas.

This is actually quite common in the area. The locals mostly believe that the AIDS epidemic is the result of both sorcery and witchcraft and many people have been burned alive as a result.

I thought AIDS came from someone who boinked a monkey.

That and a lot of Python movies down there. You know, carrot noses and such.

[bobman1235]

And that, my liege, is why we know the Earth to be banana shaped.

It was a parsnip.

No, AIDS jumped species in the wild and they have records of people with AIDS like symptoms from Africa way back into the 1800's when medical records and studies first started being kept. They just couldn't identify it back then.

[Keiko]

I meant that in jest, but thanks. ;)

[strider]

Damn.

We can now add phallic vegetables to the list of things on which you're an expert.

"Possibly a witch." Hah!

What do you want to bet when all the story comes out, she was actually the village stockbroker and put all their bananas into Bernie Madden's mumbo-jumbo sorcery?

[Jstas]

Damn.

No, they mentioned it in the movie when King Arthur was extolling the virtues of his "knights" in a pep talk. Gallahad "defusing" a situation with a "bint with a parsnip on her nose".

[dorokusai]

I would've rather been there than the 2009 Inauguration.

[zombie boy 2000]

Who wouldn't? The intoxicating aroma of sweet, sweet justice. A kegger. The oft amusing company of a simple, yet wacky tribe of heathens. I can almost hear the Benny Hill music now.

Oh wait... is it too soon?

[Jstas]

Oh wait... is it too soon?

Dude, I posted the story and in the same post made Monty Python references. I think you're ok.

[zombie boy 2000]

It was a rhetorical question. Anyone want to hear a Patrick Swayze joke?

[Jstas]

Anyone want to hear a Patrick Swayze joke?

I do! I do!

[dorokusai]

Hellz Yea! I know he has one leg shorter than the other....which may answer why he has no talent as an actor. Roadhouse rulez....I wear knife tipped work boots.

[George Grand]

Damn shame we can't light up some of the uppity freakin' newbs and throw their asses into the lake.

Damn again!

Please replace "phallic vegetables" with "Python movie quotes" and accept my sincerest apologies.

Should have known not to tangle with a guy that blew off the second day of Polkfest for the PA Fairy Festival...

Yeah but my companion for the day at the "Fairy festival" was waaaaay hotter than anyone at the second day of Polkfest. Besides, Al probably never would have let me in the front door of his house anyhow. I'd have to sit in the bushes out front with Doro while he muttered things about your mother under his breath. The assless chaps are nice and all but when the bushes are small and his butt hair is rubbing up against you, it starts to chaff and gets real uncomfortable. And he never shaves for me. Just tells me to stop being a little bitch or it gets the hose again.

[strider]

Ooops.

I take it from the quotes on "Fairy Fest" that you may have gone to the Ren Fest. There is a Fairy Festival in PA, I really wasn't implying anything.

My bad.

[zombie boy 2000]

Doro has sprayed me down with several of his hoses. Sometimes its the price you pay to be allowed in the presence of such greatness.

Question... what do Patrick Swayze and fairies have in common? Think about it.

[sucks2beme]

Don't worry. Like a health club, most of them will be gone by February.
There must of been about a zillion new members join around the holidays.

Could we maybe try to see if those *sswipes on Wallstreet float?
I think their investment skills come from rolling chicken bones.

[hearingimpared]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

This thread reminds me of the forum of old.
