Saudi Cleric Claims Allowing Ladies To Drive Will Lead To End of Virgins

By Erin Gloria Ryan
Dec 2, 2011

A Saudi Arabian cleric has warned his fellow countrymen against lifting the country's ban on allowing women to drive, asserting that letting ladies take the wheel will lead to a complete extinction of virgins within 10 years. Because everyone knows that ladies will only use their newfound freedom to cars to drive directly to a dick.
Bikya Masr reports that clerics from the Majlis al-Ifta al-Aala council, the highest religious council in the Kingdom of Saud, have rejected the idea of women driving on the grounds that it will endanger the morality of the entire country. A statement issued by the council states that lady drivers would lead to an upsurge in prostitution, pornography, homosexuality, and divorce in addition to the imminent decline in collective hymen integrity. In other words, all ladyroads in Saudi Arabia lead to genitals, or pictures of genitals. That's just the way it is.
The council was responding to a recent push from some Saudi activists to lift the ban, which opponents say endangers women who may need to drive themselves or an ailing family member to the hospital, or themselves to a job. The push to allow women to drive was emboldened by a widely ridiculed fatwa issued in 2010 that suggested women feed their breast milk to adult men who are not family members in order to promote bonding.
Saudi women are already required to wear long, loose fitting garments and cover their hair. Due to an unfortunate husband hand stabbing incident last month, they may soon have to cover their eyes, lest they tempt the men with their eyefucking.
Continuing to uphold the ban on women driving is based on well-founded logic, considering that in places where women are allowed to drive— every single other country in the world, for example— there are no virgins. Even the babies are whores.

The French, the Jews, Cars, and Obama ??

What could possibly connect - the French, the Jews, automobiles, and the Obama administration?


Does make you wonder.




The Jews of France were required to register with their local police departments that they were in fact Jews, their addresses, names of all members of their families, and incurred restrictions on owning property and practising in certain professions.  Their stores and businesses were required to be marked as being owned by Jews.  By 1942, Jews were required to wear the yellow Star of David.   Some Jews lost btheir citizenship if they were more recent immigrants, along with the children who may have been born in France.  The French were actually quite helpful.  Before the Nazis invaded France, the French decided they would help their Jewish friends by rounding them up and sending them to one of a couple concentration camps near the border of Spain until such a time as the German government might wish to exterminate them.  It was easy - they had already provided all the details when they registered.  The Milice would help ensure Jewish compliance, and inevitably deportation to a very bad place.

The French Jewish population was about 350,000.  Of these, 65,000-76,000 were sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau, Dachau and Treblinka.  Approximately 1 in every 7 Jews.   More than 4000 were sent to Sobibor in Poland - an extermination camp.  Of all those sent to that most evil of places, 2 were alive at the end of the war.

It begins with simple requests to provide details, then defining who and what you are with identification, then it becomes much worse - the potential is there for much worse. 

Always for the greater good.  We will round you up to protect you.  We are rounding up your neighbors to protect them.  We are doing this for your good.  And each 'good' received has a payback at some point.  If we put a speed lock on vehicles to prevent them from going over 80, think how much safer we would all be.  At 80 mph, the gas to the engine would cut until the car moved back into the 70-75 mph range, and if the vehicle did this three times, the gas would shut off completely.  Think how many lives we would save - all those stuck gas pedals would not cause as much damage. 

The good.



National Highway Traffic Safety Administration chief David Strickland told a congressional hearing on Thursday that the regulator is considering whether to make "black boxes" mandatory for all new vehicles.



The devices can capture data on speed, braking effort and other details which can be vital in reconstructing accidents.

Tax the Clunkers: Courtesy of Barack Obama

New ways to tax. Are liberals all so bloody foolish.

Take the 18 mpg cars off the road! Great. Reduce pollution, remove unsafe vehicles, increase gas mileage ... benefits all around.

But what is the benefit for me, who would use this program - I take a car worth $3000 or 3500 and turn it in and MAYBE get $4000 toward a new 28 mpg vehicle. Better for the environment, safer vehicles on the road, reduced oil consumption - more energy independent.

I saw a recent statistic that Americans use of gas dropped 4% in the last few weeks, and further, it had dropped 15% from its high. Aren't we making that change toward greater energy independence? More vehicles that get 25-40 mpg will give us even greater energy independence.

So i trade my vehicle in, it is mine, all mine, and worth $3500. I get $4000 credit toward a new vehicle - presumably one that will cost anywhere from $18,000 to $25,000.

And now ... the credit given to me for MY CAR that I turned over to help the environment and benefit me by giving me a new more energy friendly vehicle - NOW, that credit will be taxed, courtesy of Mr. Obama

UPDATE: Now it has gone caput, clunk, and capowee ... all gone. They shut it down.




CASH FOR CLUNKERS CHAOS

Clunker rebates count as taxable gross income, IRS bulletin says

It turns out dealers will have to pay taxes on the thousands of dollars in rebates they receive under the federal cash-for-clunkers program, according to an IRS advisory bulletin issued today.

The cash-for-clunkers measure, known as the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act of 2009, exempts consumers who take advantage of the program from paying taxes on the rebate.

But it does not exempt car dealers."Gross income generally means all income from whatever source derived unless specifically excluded by law," wrote Terri Harris, who heads an IRS division specializing in automotive issues. "Gross income derived from a business means the total sales, less the cost of goods sold.

"It likely will be treated like a cash downpayment from the consumer. A NHTSA official assured car dealers listening in on a National Automobile Dealers Association webinar Monday that they would not be taxed on the rebates.

"What you are dealing with are people who don't understand accounting," explains Dick Heider, a Denver-based dealer accountant. "This is a normal payment like in any car deal whether the money comes from the bank, the manufacturer or the government."

Asked why dealers might have been confused about their tax obligations, Heider said they may have thought that because consumers didn't have to pay taxes on the rebate, they also would be exempt.

Says Heider: "It's still money in their pocket."

Boston: On Welfare, get a free car.

I'm moving to Boston, going on welfare and living a much less stressed lifestyle.




Free cars for poor fuel road rage

Gov. Deval Patrick’s free wheels for welfare recipients program is revving up despite the stalled economy, as the keys to donated cars loaded with state-funded insurance, repairs and even AAA membership are handed out to get them to work.

But the program - fueled by a funding boost despite the state’s fiscal crash - allows those who end up back on welfare to keep the cars anyway.
“It’s mind-boggling. You’ve got people out there saying, ‘I just lost my job. Hey, can I get a free car, too?’ ” said House Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading).

The Patrick administration decided last month to funnel an additional $30,000 to the nearly $400,000 annual car ownership program.

The program, which is provided by the State Department of Transitional Assistance, gives out about 65 cars a year, said DTA Commissioner Julia Kehoe.

The state pays for the car’s insurance, inspection, excise tax, title, registration, repairs and a AAA membership for one year at a total cost of roughly $6,000 per car.

The program, which started in 2006, distributes cars donated by non-profit charities such as Good News Garage, a Lutheran charity, which also does the repair work on the car and bills the state.

Kehoe defended the program, saying the state breaks even by cutting welfare payments to the family - about $6,000 a year.
“If you look at the overall picture, this helps make sure people aren’t staying on cash assistance. It’s a relatively short payment for a long-term benefit,” Kehoe said.
But Kehoe admitted about 20 percent of those who received a car ended up back on welfare, and while they lose the insurance and other benefits, they don’t have to return the car.
“Given the state’s fiscal condition, paying for AAA and auto inspection costs is outrageous,” said Senate Minority Leader Richard Tisei (R-Wakefield). “There are so many families out there trying to deal with layoffs and pay cuts. You have to wonder what the state’s priorities are at this point.”
Applicants for cars must have a job or prove they could get one if they had the car in order to qualify. Once they have the wheels, they must send DTA their pay stubs to prove they are employed.
To get the cars, they must be unable to reach work by public transportation and have a clean driving record. The program is only available to families on welfare with children.
Kehoe said the bulk of cars go to places with less public transportation, such as Fitchburg, New Bedford and Lowell.

“I can’t believe there are no restrictions on how they use the car,” Jones said. “I just don’t see this as a core function of government.”

All of these Things

What do these things have in common: All of these things are similar.


AAA reports Americans driving less than in the last 37 years
Federal Highway Administration - Americans drove less than in recorded history

USAir reports 2008 will be a much lower than expected year for profits, and they will cut flight routes and another story about capacity and flights

Airport official details cutbacks

Alcoa To Lay Off 15,200, Reduce Operations

Toyota closes factories



**********************

Answer:
WITHOUT ANYONE telling us we have cut use of oil/petroleum for air travel, less carbon/global warming

WITHOUT ANYONE telling us we have cut use of oil/petroleum for auto travel, less carbon/global warming

WITHOUT ANYONE telling us we have cut use of resources oil/petroleum and aluminum - less carbon/global warming

WITHOUT ANYONE telling us we have cut purchasing vehicles and are sticking with what we have - less tires used, less petroleum used, less carbon/global warming


ALL THAT without anyone telling us or taxing us!!

Congress is considering TAXING you based upon the miles you drive (WHY? They need money, but the less we drive, the less money is available, the higher the taxes to compensate for the decreased driving!!!

Cars

Driving on the various road systems between West London and East Anglia (about 100 miles), I noticed at least 4 cars we do not have here - not the manufacturers, we have them: Ford and Mazda and Toyota - rather the car. I was thinking about this as we were driving - the defeatist attitude in the US to Toyota or Nissan and how GM has fallen behind and Ford even further behind, yet I saw many Ford's in Europe and models we do not have here.

Why?

Why not.

Do you want people to buy your cars? make models that look like the Ford's I saw. Put the 3-4 models on the US market and make their body style as attractive. Do that and you can get 2-3% of the share back from Toyota or Mazda.

Bring us their gas mileage - a people mover (mini van) that gets 33 mpg on the road is not bad (Alhambra). If ALL our minivans managed 33 mpg we would be well on our way to energy independence.

If we opened our market to the smaller compact cars on the roads in England, we could drop a small percentage of our oil dependence over night.

So many options yet we are slow to do it, and Congress talks of taxes and we will soon hear of gas rationing to reduce use and price. Why. Just do as I suggest and we can avoid this foolish and ruinous path.

1. Bring all the models, Ford and other car mfg make available in Europe, back to the US
2. Bring us their gas mileage. If they get 33 mpg we should be able to get the same.
3. Reduce mfg of large vehicles and move toward the more compact family vehicles.
4. Allow drilling off the coasts of the US and Gulf of Mexico and in ANWAR
5. Tax breaks for drilling in the Rocky Mountains for oil located in shale.
6. Incentives for oil companies to use new methods to get every last drop from all oil fields presently under use.
7. Make a minimum gas mileage on all family vehicles by 2016 of 35 mpg. All SUVs of 30 mpg.

Do the above and we will be energy independent. Do the above and we can tell the Middle East to find someone else who cares because we won't have to.
