Careful with your accent or will get beaten up…

Tourist beaten because of accent
April 24, 2008
New Zealand’s reputation for great hospitality has been dented again after a tourist was beaten up in Westport.
The Irish tourist had been on a night out in Westport and was returning to his accommodation at 3.30am when he was attacked in Westport’s main street.
Senior sergeant Geoff Scott said the 32-year-old had been at a night club and was walking with some locals he had met at the club. He was approached, and spoken to, by a male from a group who had been in the area. He was suddenly and unexpectedly punched in the face, after which he fell to the ground where he was kicked in the head allegedly by the same attacker.
During the attack the newly made acquaintances came to his assistance and they too received some minor injuries.
In the resulting melee one of the attackers was pushed through a shop window. The visitor received lacerations to his face and head. He was treated at the Buller Hospital and discharged.
On Tuesday Westport police arrested a 20 year old local male, a timber worker, and have charged with injuring with intent to injure.
He is due to appear in the Westport District Court this afternoon where police will be opposing bail. Further charges are likely to be laid against this person, Scott said. Scott said the investigation continues and others are likely to be arrested on related charges arising from the incident.
“This attack was without provocation and appears to have occurred only because the victim spoke with an accent.”
On April 12 eight tourists were attacked and suffered knife wounds in an unprovoked attack in Christchurch’s Cashel mall.
The tourists, who were Danish and English, were allegedly attacked because they “spoke funny.”
Four men are facing charges.

The man will appear in Rockhampton Magistrates Court today charged with three counts of rape and one count each of sexual assault and deprivation of liberty.
A man sexually abused 15-day-old baby son
April 24, 2008 - 10:47AM
AUCKLAND - A New Zealand man has been jailed for seven years after being found guilty of sexually assaulting his 15-day old son.
Alexander Hata Canterbury-Davies, 35, from Hawera in New Zealand’s North Island, was lambasted by the judge for showing no remorse for his “inconceivable behaviour”, the Taranaki Daily News reported.
The defendant, who worked as a slaughterman, had earlier been found guilty of sexually violating and injuring his baby son with intent, assaulting his former partner and perverting the course of justice.
A statement prepared for the court by the baby’s mother said she feared her baby would die or suffer lasting internal injuries after Canterbury-Davies attacked him in March last year.
The child reportedly suffered severe bruising from his waist to knees, and other injuries.
Crown prosecutor James Gurnick told the court a doctor that examined the child had never seen bruising so extreme in a baby of that age, the newspaper reported.

How to publishes Internet Escort’s Handbook
By Peter Graff in London
April 25, 2008 03:34pm
Former prostitute publishes book series
Contains tips for aspiring online callgirls
Covers ‘mental considerations’, website, advertising
WHEN most schoolgirls were playing with their Barbie dolls, Amanda Brooks was dreaming of growing up to be a
prostitute
.
“When I was in fourth grade, it sounded like a good idea for me. To me it sounded like a really interesting way to make a living and not having to follow other peoples’ rules,” she said by telephone from Texas where she lives.
Retired at 29 with a steady boyfriend after two-and-a-half years working as an escort,
she has published the Internet Escort’s Handbook series for aspiring call girls everywhere
.
The series so far contains two books.
The first book, called The Foundation covers “basic mental, emotional and physical considerations in escort work”.
The second, Advertising and Marketing, gives tips on how to set up a website and advertise online.
“When I began working I had a lot of questions and there wasn’t really any way to find out answers. I did what they always tell authors to do: I wrote the books that I wished I had been able to read,” she said.
Brooks is unapologetic about a lifestyle that she says suited her perfectly. On her website she describes her frustration at being told she should get a “real job”.
“I’ve read many job books which list the symptoms to look for when a job is going bad: depression, stress, anxiety, insomnia, weight gain or weight loss, anger, ulcers, hair loss, hatred, suicidal thoughts, and feeling trapped.”
“How did I feel working as an escort? Happy, satisfied, in control of my life; wealthy, healthy, at peace with myself, free, successful and I slept like a baby every night.”
Brought up in a small town in Texas, she graduated from university with a double degree in photography and English before getting a job as a cocktail waitress at a strip club. She then worked as a stripper for four years before finally taking the plunge at 26 and placing an ad offering escort services.
At a time when global trafficking and organised crime are making prostitution more dangerous than ever, Brooks said the internet made it easier to go into business on your own - free from exploitation by agencies, brothel owners or pimps.
The main tip for staying safe is: do your homework. She used the internet to screen her clients and turned down appointments when she had doubts.
The worst abuse she suffered was clients who refused to pay her fees, which she said were “standard prices in the US, between $A265 and $A530 an hour”.
The work became safer once she had a steady stable of regular clients. She found them easier to deal with than her boyfriend.
“Adding money to a sexual relationship does not necessarily make it violent or horrible,” she said.
“Relationships with my clients are fun and easy. They were kind of a break from real life and we all know that real life can be difficult.”

What do you think about this? Tell us below.
Not a bad idea isn’t it?
Mayb those brothers who mastered the post-graduate ONS skills;
or those experienced cheonging brothers;
or cuckold or gigolo;
or those hunting for peoples wife could also write a series of guide book like her too, right?…
Economy now is quite bad, mayb should look into writing some guide books. Who knows mayb could strike rich if could find the willing publisher..

Cops to view hotel CCTV footage in molest case involving VIP
By RASHITHA A. HAMID
KUALA LUMPUR: Police will be scrutinising the CCTV footage from a hotel where a promoter claimed an ex-minister molested her.
City deputy police chief Senior Asst Comm (I) Datuk Abdul Samah Mat said it was part of the police investigation.
“We called in the ex-minister for questioning yesterday (Friday) and he was very helpful,” he said at the General Operation Force headquarters in Cheras yesterday.
SAC Abdul Samah also said there was no need for the police to seize the ex-minister’s passport.
He hoped to submit the investigation paper to the Attorney-General’s Chambers soon for further action.
Police would also call in the promoter again to help in investigations, if needed.
The ex-minister is being investigated for allegedly outraging the modesty of the 30-year-old promoter at a hotel here on April 17. A police report was lodged against the politician on April 18.

Stop playing with fire
I AM 39 years old, married with two children and have a happy family. X is my ex-colleague whom I have been friendly with for the past 10 years. She is married and has two children.
A few years back, she found out that her husband had an affair with another woman. After an explanation from her husband, she forgave him.
Last year, her husband borrowed a lot of money from a loan shark. As a result, they were forced to sell off two houses to repay part of the loan.
Now her husband has gone overseas to look for a job, hoping to make some money to settle the debt. Again, she forgave her husband.
She always turns to me for advice whenever she has problems with her husband.
And, I admit that I really love X very much although I know that I do not have the right to say that.
But my love for her is getting deeper every day. I can’t concentrate on my business, and I just keep thinking of her every day.
My wife is a good wife. I do love my wife very much as well. She handles the housework and helps me with my business as well. But my mind is just on X all the time.
Recently, X and I have been going out for dinner and drinks twice a week.
She knows my feelings towards her but she always tells me to take a good care of my family.
She has the same feelings as I have but I know that she is trying not to do something that will hurt her family as well. She does love her husband very much.
I really hope she can become my second partner in my life. I know that my request is too much but my feelings towards her have not changed.
Can you tell me what to do?
Miserable Life
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THE ADVICE
YOU are a fool. You have a wonderful family and yet you want to lose it all because you think that you have fallen in love with another woman.
Stop the dinners and drinks with X. The more you see of each other, the stronger the temptation.
Although X seems to be trying very hard to keep you at arms length by advising you to take good care of your family, she needs you for advice and friendship.
The way the two of you are reacting towards each other, it’s all too easy to take the next step into an affair. The feelings are hot and sizzling although both of you assert that you love your own spouses.
You hope that X will become your second partner in life because, right now, you can’t seem to get her out of your mind. She may not appear to be a home breaker but she is needy and helpless.
She needs you and you are ever so willing to listen and spend time with her.
This is betrayal. You are cheating on your wife because you are doing this behind lies and deceit. Don’t kid yourself that this is all so innocent.
You both can’t help yourselves? No one is pushing the two of you together.
X has problems but she needs to sort it out with her husband.
You’re not helping if you are eyeing her for yourself.
Her husband will be made a cuckold while he’s away trying to make some money to pay off his debts. There is nothing noble about your intentions so do not try to pretend misery.
If you love your wife and children, do not continue this liaison.
X does not need more complications in her life. Advise her to work hard for her family until her husband gets home.
If she needs a friend, take her to your home and allow your wife to listen and commiserate. Show X that you are taking her advice to care for your own family.

Penis theft panic hits city
April 24, 2008
KINSHASA - Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men’s penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft.
Reports of so-called penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, where belief in traditional religions and witchcraft remains widespread, and where ritual killings to obtain blood or body parts still occur.
Rumours of penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo’s sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants. They quickly dominated radio call-in shows, with listeners advised to beware of fellow passengers in communal taxis wearing gold rings.
Purported victims, 14 of whom were also detained by police, claimed that sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear, in what some residents said was an attempt to extort cash with the promise of a cure.
“You just have to be accused of that, and people come after you. We’ve had a number of attempted lynchings. … You see them covered in marks after being beaten,” Kinshasa’s police chief, Jean-Dieudonne Oleko, told Reuters on Tuesday.
Police arrested the accused sorcerers and their victims in an effort to avoid the sort of bloodshed seen in Ghana a decade ago, when 12 suspected penis snatchers were beaten to death by angry mobs. The 27 men have since been released.
“I’m tempted to say it’s one huge joke,” Oleko said.
“But when you try to tell the victims that their penises are still there, they tell you that it’s become tiny or that they’ve become impotent. To that I tell them, ‘How do you know if you haven’t gone home and tried it’,” he said.
Some Kinshasa residents accuse a separatist sect from nearby Bas-Congo province of being behind the witchcraft in revenge for a recent government crackdown on its members.
“It’s real. Just yesterday here, there was a man who was a victim. We saw. What was left was tiny,” said 29-year-old Alain Kalala, who sells phone credits near a Kinshasa police station.

WHY MEN Hooked on hookers?
May 6, 2008
As anti-prostitution groups increasingly try to thwart the sex trade by going after the customers, they say they have faced a big problem - researchers have only the crudest grasp of why men buy sex.
Even scholarly understanding of prostitution demand has been coloured for years by a boys-will-be-boys attitude toward sex, advocates say. To get a deeper understanding, a group of researchers - most of them young women - invited more than 100 US men who frequent prostitutes to sit down and talk about their attitudes and experiences.
They were overwhelmed by the response. More than 200 men answered the ads the researchers placed in local sex classified services and were willing to sit down with strangers to discuss at length their illegal sexual practices. While the survey, which is not peer reviewed, is likely to draw criticism from some academics, the project offers a window into the attitudes of men who buy sex.
The results show men are often deeply conflicted about their behaviour, said Rachel Durchslag, director of the Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation, which conducted the survey in Chicago with the Evanston-based Justice Project Against Sexual Harm.
Though most of the men interviewed said they believe there is nothing wrong with prostitution, a large majority - 83
per cent - view buying sex as a form of addiction
, according to the study.
Most men said they believed women entered prostitution freely, but they acknowledge that the sex trade is devastating to the women involved. A large percentage of the men - 57 per cent - suspect the women they pay were abused as children, and nearly a third said they viewed women’s relationships with pimps as harmful.
About 40 per cent of men said they are usually intoxicated when they buy sex.
According to one man who was quoted anonymously in the report, “For a small second after I buy sex, I feel happy, and then it’s over. It’s so fleeting. There’s frustration beforehand, and depression afterward, (because) it’s so quick. Those feelings are always there. They’re associated with buying sex.”
Nonetheless,
most men said they viewed their interaction with prostitutes as a business contract in which payment entitles them to treat the women any way they like. Women surrender the right to say no to anything once they accept a customer’s money
, many said.
“Prostitutes are a product, like cereal,” said one man. “You go to the grocery, pick the brand you want, and pay for it. It’s business.”
The survey was designed by anti-prostitution activist Melissa Farley, who is a controversial figure because academics have accused her of tilting previous research to support an anti-prostitution political agenda. The Chicago study is part of an international project that includes surveys in Phoenix, as well as Scotland, India and Cambodia. Critics of the survey done in Scotland called Farley’s methods unscientific.
Durchslag is aware of the criticism of Farley, but said she feels confident in the relevance of the Chicago survey. Although Farley created the survey questions she was not involved in reporting the results, Durchslag said.
“We have always said this was an exploratory study, and I feel very confident with the way the questions were asked.”
Durchslag said she was stunned by the large response from men, and their willingness to talk to strangers about such a taboo subject. The men who answered questions represented a variety of backgrounds, but a majority were college-educated, and more than half were either married or in a committed relationship with a girlfriend, according to the study.
Her team of researchers anticipated feeling angry at their subjects, which happened frequently as some of the men talked freely about their attitudes toward women as sex objects, she said. In one case, a man gave answers that basically acknowledged he had committed rape, she said.
But there were also many interviews in which they felt empathy for the men and their confusion about their own sexuality.
“A lot of us felt really sad for a lot of these men,” she said. “It’s more complicated. We were all surprised by the number of men who said, ‘I’ve never had a chance to talk about this.’ A lot of the men wanted, and needed, to talk about it.”
Still,
the goal of the research is to push for harsher criminal punishments for men who buy sex from prostitutes
, she said. Nearly 90 per cent of the men said that they would stop if they felt there was a likely chance they would be caught and prosecuted.
Men expressing conflicted feelings and frustration “is the good news,” said Farley, who is based in San Francisco. “That they are conflicted. They do have deeply mixed feelings when someone takes the time to really inquire.”
