Fortunately, we don't really celebrate Halloween that much here in Aus.; at least, not in my neighbourhood . We have the opccasional child however, trying to scam confectionary off us, but I just lock the gates. The best part is that you have to about 5'12" in order to easily opn the top pad-bolt .

Looks it's not only clubs now: today I read in a local newspaper that a woman has been attacked in an elevator on the way home; the attacker pressed a syringe with a needle to her neck threatening to infect her with AIDS if she didn't give him all the money. The guy was caught and sentenced to 3 years of imprisonment. Even though the needle wasn't infected, I still think the punishment was too light.

Life is only given once ... and most often by accident

@Indy thx for the explanation
I dont know if guys know, but there are rumours out there that aids can be cured by having sex with babies/youn children.
I dont know if this is the case in all countries, but I know it caused a lot og baby rapes over here

oh jeebus does it never end? how low can people sink? ever think as a species maybe we don't deserve to exist? i do, sometimes.

I saw something about that too, sw. It is a belief in Africa and not one that other parts of the world have adopted.

To add a little more background, this goes back to beliefs and customs in which a young girl's virginity is ascribed with curative/magical powers.

The saddest thing is that people in high positions of responsibility actually bought into a very stupid counter theory that HIV was NOT the cause of AIDS and so did not push forward any programs of prevention and avoidance, much less fund for the drugs needed to treat AIDS sufferers.
