The Chinese have given me a fantasy!!!

[FianceeUvBigGuy (imported)]

Free shrimp and pork egg rolls for life! Well, that's ONE fantasy!

Yoli here, up early to go fishing this morning and deer hunting in the afternoon and tomorrow AM despite the cold front that's due about 4PM. We'll have T'giving at the ranch and that's always great, especially in nipply weather.

OK, here it is:

We all know that the commie Chinese execute hundred of people each year for serious crimes...jaywalking, double-parking, etc...and harvest their body parts to sell for transplants 'n other fun stuff. Now they've come up with a new and more efficient method of "doing business".

The Chinese have built mobile execution vans (more like Greyhound buses) that travel about the country and make "house calls". They arrive, the condemned is taken aboard, he or she is killed, and parts (even skin!) are removed. (You can find all this via Google.)

Well, what if there were mobile castration vans?

Let's say that the cops visit Lovers Lane some evening and discover some guy with an underage girl (or boy), having sex. All Officer Clancy has to do is make a radio call and here comes the van. The guilty party is taken on board, castrated, and sent on his way.

Better yet, what if the van pulls up in front of someone's home or place of employment? In no time there'd be a crowd!

Then the guy is marched out of his house or workplace, boards the bus, loses his ballsies (maybe even his peepee) and is left standing on the curb in front of all those people.

As an added attraction they could build the bus with huge side windows, like some custom private rigs, and folks could watch the action.

Well, just thought I'd mention it.

Now, off to the shower and then we head for the lake, towing the boat and dodging deer.

Yoli, Crazier than earlier suspected!

PS: Ash(leigh) sez "Hi".

Sounds like someone had too many egg rolls...

I wonder if a public castration would be a better deterrent than a public hanging?

It would, at least, be more interesting! lol --FLO--

I wonder if a public castration would be a better deterrent than a public hanging?

You know, along those lines, I have often wondered about the wisdom of including that "cruel and unusual punishment" clause ??? Seems to me that sadly eliminates some very sound and effective detriments!! Whatcha' think?

I know this post is outside the original spirit of the thread Yoli started, and mean no disrespect to her, but I just have to share how I'm feeling at the moment.

I found an article on the Chinese execution vans after a google search. I felt a chill when I read it, and it troubles me to know that mechanized death however sanitized is a tool that governments are willing to use on their own people.

In China especially people are executed for many offenses that fall far short of murder. In Iran people can be executed for adultery, prostitution, or even just being gay or lesbian. In my opinion the death penalty is in itself a barbaric act unworthy of any Nation that claims to be civilized. In this country the imperfections in our justice system have become very evident. We have indeed executed many innocent people throughout our history, and this will continue to happen until the day we decide that is no longer acceptable or until our criminal justice system, would some how, beyond the stretch any reasonable hope, become 100% error free.

This is from Wikipedia

Recklessness

Recklessness or willful blindness is defined as a wanton disregard for the known dangers of a particular situation. An example of this would be a defendant throwing a brick off a bridge into vehicular traffic below. There exists no intent to kill, consequently a resulting death may not be considered murder. However, the conduct is probably reckless, sometimes used interchangeably with criminally negligent, which may subject the principal to prosecution for involuntary manslaughter: the individual was aware of the risk of injury to others and willfully disregarded it.

Yet when the state does this in your name, it is NOT a crime. This to me illuminates the nature of our relationship with the state. That is to say we as individuals live under it as opposed being served by it. This is just one example of many which I could list. Suffice it to say things are not all well in the "Land of the free and the home of the brave"

I'd volunteer for a public castration (balls only) if I could remain anonymous.

I agree that the execution bus is a barbaric thing. But execution is execution. I see Bush "pardoning" the turkeys this week and then think of all the poor, unrepresented black men that he had executed in Texas in contrast

ok, everyone stop snorting the egg rolls!

Yoli here, back from the Great Bass and Bambi Safari.

I'm going to refrain from attempting to refute the anti-capital punishment views expressed by my friends here. I live in Texas and I can tell you that there IS another side to that story, but I won't further hijack my own thread. It's bad enough that I often hijack the threads of others, and for that I apologize.

Now for a less somber mention...

We got back to SA at about 8PM last night. Why? Well, believe it or not, a few of us are departing for Norman USA to cheer the Sooners to (hopefully) victory over the Fighting Sheep Molesters of OSWho (AKA Okie Lite). We'll be outta here in about 15 minutes...groan. Your loving Yoli will be curled up in an adorable little furry ball within five minutes of boarding the motor home...trust me.

The fishing was OK 'cept for some very cold wind that made boat maneuvering hard work. Despite the weather we caught some nice bass and released them as usual.

The hunting...Everyone who ventured into the cold and wind got at least one deer. I got three, but that was easy since I was tasked with thinning out the overabundant does (and one older "spike" buck.) I also shot two &$%#! feral hogs and wish I'd eliminated more. As Arnold The Governator of California sez..."Ah'll be bOck!" The goal is to tally not less than 60 (yes, SIXTY!) hogs over the next two months. I plan to account for at least 15 of that total. Those creatures are so destructive to crops, other flora, and both domestic and game birds and animals that there has been talk of putting a bounty on them. Besides, the younger ones are mighty tasty.

Mind you, I'm referring to big and ill-tempered hogs, not the inoffensive (unless you smell one) Javelina AKA Collared Peccary. Don't mistake them for Collared Peckery, AKA uncircumcised...never mind.

Three of us plodded through the cold, rocks, and thorns yesterday AM in an effort to replace some quail that had been eaten a few days ago. I got 9 of the little rockets and one of the partners in the firm nailed 11...not often I'm second banana when it comes to the Art Of The Shotgun...darn!

Anyway, I'm NOT a fan of the Chinese, 'cept the food, and I certainly decry their excessive executions; Ditto some of the Islamic lunacy but I am NOT tarring all Muslims with that brush. The whole point of the thread was to alter the concept of the vans/buses to titillate self and friends...worked for ME!

Well, I'm packed, showered (and shaved, guess where...giggle.) Time to saddle up and head for where the COLD wind comes sweepin' down the plain.

Will be back and check in sometime tomorrow. Whatta life.

Look for me in the stands...Fox Sports Network, today, 3:30 EST, 2:30 Oklahoma Standard Time.

I'll be in the home side stands, on about the North 40, 3/4 of the way up.

I love you all.

Yo...ZZZZZZZZZZZZ...li

More Kawfee!

PS: The T'giving food at the ranch was (too) great. Will be in the pool and at the gym a lot next week.
