If there's one thing America doesn't need it's more "bite-us-and-we'll-bite-you-harder" people. That pretty much summarizes why there are so many problems in this country. That, and shooting someone's balls off is just a no-go. I mean, what is it with you people lately, posting stories of genital-mauling like there's no tomorrow? :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]

hey, I am a woman, that is my privilage [img]tongue.gif[/img]


edit....geez I can not type today :/

You're a party pooper, Arledrian...

... though I'd recommend keeping away from the lawyer heaven that is the U.S. Here, she'd probably get 20-30 years and owe the rapists half a million dollars for the deed ...

... I can only hope that all the stories we hear about Australia being the last home of cowboy judges and old-fashioned 'hang 'em all' juries aren't overly exaggerated ;)

hey i support it. i wish grandma's would do it for molestation and rape. everyone should have an 81yo who loves them so.

exactly [img]smile.gif[/img] I am glad she did it, it serves them right to have done something like that to an 18 year old girl. or to anyone for that matter!

<font color=lime>I like it! :D :D :D [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] </font>

I guess we'll find out if, in fact, no jury in the world would convict someone like that.

While I don't condone her actions, this lady sure have balls, unlike the rapists.

not to sound bad, but I do condone her actions, it seems that the law has gotten lax in regards to rapist, and they get off way to easy. my mother as raped, and the cops did nothing about it! the guy got off scot free. the feelings that the girl will face for the rest of her life are alot harder to deal with than what the law would give them, this way as the old lady said, they will not be able to do this to anyone else....

Sorry to busrt your bubble Stormy, but you are guilty of falling for another hoax. Your account looked extremely dubious to me, an Aussie who keeps up with news in his country. I searched on Google to learn more about this amazing granny of whom I have never heard and I found this :

The story is believed to have most likley evolved from the gun loving minds of one of your more fervent local NRA members Stormy. It makes good copy, and it spreads the message an armed society is a polite society. A message that we Aussies would colloqially describe as DRIBBLE and the Brits would tell you was BOLLOCKS. Not a pair of shot off revenge luvin granny hated bollocks - just bollocks.

Good show Granny!

Oh, that's bad...but still funny.

I'm pro-granny in this one. I think I'm even more pro-martial arts, though...some creep tries to force you into doing something with a knife, and you take it from him/her.

While I live by the Wisdom of the Great Philosophers; No Man deserveth a kick on his Most Holies, I'm willing to make an exception when it comes to rape.

Kick it, ladies!

So by that last statement Stormy (quote : It was fun while it lasted :D ) with the grinning smiley are you saying that you knew it was a hoax all along. Are you saying that you just wanted to perpetuate the myth that an armed society is a polite society and you didn't care who of your friends here at IW you fooled and took for a ride.

I am reminded of the story and the lessons of the boy who called wolf.

Even though this is only a theoretical point, as Davros pointed out this is such an obvious hoax, I strongly disagree. If this had happened, the grandmother would have done her grandchild a great injury. Everyone would know the girl was raped, the media would be all over her, she would not be granted time and peace to deal with it in her own way and shame would probably just about kill her. Some women do manage to forgive whoever did it, you know, or at least do not want to fall back on such barbarous tactics because of privately held convictions. Bloodthirsty idiots with big mouths and no real empathy with the victims should not be so quick to be the ones to administer fantasised punishment - that should be a part of the victim's own process of recovery which is different in every single case.

no, actually, I did not know it was a hoax. but I will not justify me reasons for posting it.
how many people here p[ost things just like this knowing they are jokes? and are not insulted about it? as stated above, I did not know it was a hoax, and in fact the person who sent it to me did not know either, for it was my husband.

Well, either way, I enjoyed it immensely! :D I think everyone feels very similar towards rapists, whether we are violent and gun-toting, or not! ;)

It's a very interesting to read story about people taking matters into their own hand. even if it's a false story.

oh and on another thought...my true friends here at IW know I would never intentionly post something that is a hoax, unless I state that it is one. granted, that post I made did look as if I knew, and for that I am sorry. if I knew this was cause this much trouble, I would never had posted it in the first place. that said, I will leave this thread alone now.

Hehehe True or False, it was still funny [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

A story about rape vigilantism, and mutilation. I can think of many adjectives to describe the story; funny is not one of them.

Totally agree.

perhaps funny was being used like entertaining. i find many movies and tv shows horrific but entertaining.

OK fine, then it's an entertaining rape story. :rolleyes: I don't think you can compare the horror of a scary movie to the horror of a rape story presented as true, at all.
Personally I find it sick to use something as seriously horrible as that as an excuse to crack jokes or push political agendas - so I find the story funny nor entertaining.

You're not offending at all, not me anyway. I just disagree with people who find it funny.

Thats good, I dont want to get on the bad side of anyone...Yet.... :D

Ha! As a completely fictitious story, I think it's rather good. I don't know the definition we all go by for funny, but I certainly chuckled when I read the "doctor's description" of the damage done. :D

havent you ever heard of a dark sense of humor? I find films like this to be hillarious! (I made that by the way)

and the fact that this came from an e-mail clearly shows that its an urban legend. Thousands of these get sent around in e-mails every day and some times they're even believed by people as being fact! That's what ledgends do, after all, they tell a story which could be true that instills an insperation to look at the world from a differint perspective and think outside the box. It's that sort of injenuity that inspires people to take a closer look when examining their own world and instills a number of things ranging from confidence to conspiracy theories, the way it is managed is up to the viewer, and if the viewer doesn't like it, then what gives that viewer the authority to enforce their thoughts on others and cause them to hate what has otherwise been considered something done for fun? Is it hurting you directly? is it hurting anybody? It is harmful at all? No! It's a legend! That's all I have to say in this matter and contesting my word only further proves my point that some people just don't like others to feel good about their actions because they disagree with being told a legend is true or false when it could, in theory, be either. Last time I checked there was a thing called freedom of speech and if it allowed someone to write a story then it sure as hell also mandated that that story could be otherwise re-posted and distributed to be told, like many legends are, so that the spirit of the message carries on.

rape - not funny
vigilante justice - not funny
guns - not funny
shot to the crotch - definately NOT funny
81 year old 'terminator' - funny

Yeah, thats what I meant, the words like "Rambo Granny", "wrinkeled avenger" and "Vigelante granny" were the things to make me Laugh. I do not find rape funny, if thats what some people were thinking.

GOOD GOD NO! LoL I suppose you also think that we all have kangaroo's and Koala's as pets roaming in our backyards? Eh? LoL personally I want a Platypus, because it has to be one of the most outrageous animals around...

Anyways, lets get back to a point of some sort. Australia is not some backwater country without laws and regulations ya doof. Although, I know your joking... ARENT YOU [img]tongue.gif[/img]

To everyone else, it IS a joke, do not get offended, the rape part of the whole story was just the lead in, and I myself found the story of the Gun-toting Gran to be quite amusing, even though it shows the poor image we Australians have over in the US. Wow, that was a long sentence.

Even if Story DID know it was a hoax, who cares? Stormy, I for one appreciate light attempts at humour on this forum... Keep up the good work darl [img]smile.gif[/img]

This thread is a good example of why I usually avoid General Conversation nowadays.

Deathkiller... I watched your movie, and all I can say is.. HUH?

LoL I laughed at the big speech bubble attacking the kitty... but apart from that I was just lost. Its no detriment to your talent whatsoever, I think your brilliant to be able to create something like that, when I had to ask how to quote someone on here.

End of meaningless rambling.

any chance this thread can just go away? it was a mistake to put it up in the first place, and I have appoligised to many times, and really wish that everyone would just let it go!

Aren't we just a little ray of sunshine? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Stormy, if you're tired of looking at it, you could lock it. ;)
