Women's Safety Information

Limoncello asked:


A retired gentleman went to the social security office to apply for Social Security.

The woman behind the counter asked him for his driver’s license to verify his age. He looked in his pockets and realized he had left his wallet at home. He told the woman that he was very sorry but he seemed to have left his wallet at home. I will have to go home and come back later. The woman says, Unbutton your shirt. So he opens his shirt revealing curly silver hair. She says, That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me and she processed his Social Security application.

When he gets home, the man excitedly tells his wife about his experience at the social security office. She says, You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too.

When 9/11 happen, our country for the first time in a long time was united and we wanted the person responsible to pay for the crime they committed. Here came Bush, angry and took charged and went after those jerks that were responsible. Many young men and women (including my son) join the military to fight for their country. We went to Afghanistan to find Osama Bin Laden, then all of the suddenly, we were in Iraq, fighting what????. Bush said that Saudan Hussein had weapon of mass destruction that he plan to use it against us. Our military, (Including my son) were sent to Iraq to take this despot out of office so that the people of the USA can be free from terrorist?

Bush informed the USA that we are not secure and terrorist are planning to attack us, so Bush instituted home land security, where (Big Brother) can hear our conversation over the phone, read our email and etc. For added protection, we now had to have id to go on a plane, passport to go to and from Mexico and Canada and many other liberty rip away from us, all for our protection, yet he left the border open with no plan to close it. He left it with an invitation for any terrorist to come to this country via unsecured borders. I smell a skunk and Bush is right in the middle of it. Can anyone help me understand what is going on?

If one has had no career outside the home they do not get Social Security. A mother does much more work than many career women but is punished in old age.

REPORT: MORE YOUNG GIRLS FACE **** IN AFGHANISTAN

AFGHAN WOMEN’S RIGHTS ARE LITTLE BETTER THAN UNDER TALIBAN, REPORT SAYS

RIGHTS GROUP SAYS GIRLS AS YOUNG AS SEVEN ARE REGULARLY RAPED

UNITED NATIONS CALLS FOR BETTER PROTECTION FOR CIVILIANS

UNITED NATIONS (CNN) — ***** targeting girls as young as seven are on the increase in Afghanistan where conditions for women are little better than under the Taliban, the U.N. and rights groups say.
Conditions for women are little better than they were under the hardline Taliban regime, the U.N. says.
In its annual report on human rights, the U.N. warned conditions were deteriorating in the war-ravaged country despite U.S.-led efforts after the 2001 removal from power of the hardline militia.
Violence is tolerated or condoned within the family and community, within traditional and religious leadership circles, as well as the formal and informal justice system, said Navi Pillay, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights. The Afghan government has failed to adequately protect the rights of women despite constitutional guarantees.
With a resurgent Taliban targeting NATO forces, government security forces and civilians, violence has been on the increase in Afghanistan. The number of civilian casualties in 2008 totaled 2,118 — the highest number recorded since the ouster of the Taliban in 2001, the U.N. said, urging greater protecting for ordinary Afghans.
Violence against women comes in the form of rape, honor killings, early and forced marriages, sexual abuse and slavery, the report says. The security is the big issue, said Suraya Pakzad, founder of the Voice of Women Organization, which promotes education and awareness of women’s rights and protects women and girls at risk in Afghanistan.
Because of security we, unfortunately, day by day, we have to pull out of areas where last year we operated, we have our operations. We were able to work with the women, but this year we cannot, she said. We have to leave the area because security is getting worse day by day.
Rapes in the country have been growing tremendously, particularly child ***** within the ages of 9, 8, 7, even lesser than that, said Wazhma Frogh, director of Global Rights Afghanistan. So these are the issues that are all born by this lack of security where women have no place in … security decisions.
Domestic violence against child brides is widespread, said Suraya Pakzad, the founder of the Voice of Women organization, who was married at age 14 and has six children. She said girls as young as 10 face violation by husbands 40 years their senior. By the end … women, or girls, run away.
But women without husbands, especially widows, may have it even worse in Afghanistan, the report says. Without a spouse, the women are reduced to begging to feed their children. Options outside the home are limited where the Taliban holds sway in Afghanistan. The Taliban’s interpretation of strict Islamic law, or sharia, has included banning girls from school and the workplace.
Even in areas not overrun by the Taliban, women face risks outside the home. The assassination of the most prominent national female senior police officer, in Kandahar in September 2008, underscores the tremendous risks faced by women in public life, the report says.

Will U enjoy 9-11 Often Under BO asked:


Do you have a grandma or grandpa on social security and/or in a nursing home?

How about an elderly aunt ?

Decades ago, these people would be living with family. But, in any case, that money that the government is spending isn’t simply disappearing. It’s largely being used for our relatives.
And, if you’re working, do you know you are NOT paying into the system enough money to provide for your own care based upon how quickly medical costs and technology is advancing?

pfaith asked:


I was detained for an alleged theft by plain clothes security in a grocery store. It was 8:55pm. I frantically told them I had a 16 yo son stuck in another town with no ride and that he needed my help as it was cold and dark. I was told that if I signed a confession admitting guilt I would be let go. I was also told that if I helped restock/organize the shelves, he would help me by not calling the police. I refused as I had recently suffered a dislocated shoulder. I was also hesitant to get on my hands and knees as he instructed me to do to reach the lower shelves. Instead I stood there shaking while a dismayed clerk stocked (he’d been told to keep an eye on me). At no point was there even one other woman present. When finally allowed to make a call about my son security told me that I could not tell them where I was or what was happening AT ALL. If I did I would go straight to jail. I called home from a blocked ID and on speakerphone. I was arrested at 1130pm and finally called home.

Neerdowellian asked:


When I got married, I became the most attractive man in town. Women who had ignored me forever suddenly wanted me. I was always the nice guy that you took a pass on while you pursued the bad boy on the motorcycle. Now he’s in jail and I have a great job and own a home. The woman who wanted love and security over adventure landed me and I wouldn’t trade her for the world.

But now every women who’s been treated bad suddenly wants to find the one that got away and my phone is ringing off the hook. So what is wrong with you ladies? Is it a mental condition? And why now, after I’m already taken? I don’t understand you at all!
Hmm… thanks for the many responses but some of you just don’t get sarcasm and metaphor.

Do you really think that *I’M* under the impression that my looks improved when I got married? I simply mean that a lot of exes and women who wouldn’t have anything to do with me are now coming out of the woodwork to find me.

And the phone isn’t *literally* ringing off the hook – I just mean that they are contacting me. They see my wedding ring and approach me.

But it’s nice to know that some of you can make a snap judgment about my sense of self worth through a Yahoo question. You should go into psychiatry!
