Through a Rapist's Eyes (No Joke)

This is important information for females of ALL ages .
When this was sent to me, I was told to forward it to my lady friends, but I forwarded it to most everyone in my address book. My men friends have female friends and this information is too important to miss someone.

Please pass it along.


A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:


1) The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun, braid or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed . They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair . Women with short hair are not common targets.


2) The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who's clothing is easy to remove quickly . Many of them carry scissors around specifically to cut clothing.


3) They also look for women on their cell phone , searching through their purse, or doing other activities while walking because they are off-guard and can be easily overpowered.


4) Men are most likely to attack & rape in the early morning, between 5:00a.m. and 8:30a.m.


5) The number one place women are abducted from/attacked is grocery store parking lots . Number two: is office parking lots/garages. Number three: is public restrooms.


6) The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to another location where they don't have to worry about getting caught.


7) Only 2% said they carried weapons because rape carries a 3-5 year sentence but rape with a weapon is 15-20 years.

8) If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn't worth it because it will be time-consuming.


9) These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas , or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands. Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you're not worth it.


10) Several defense mechanisms he taught us are: If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question , like what time is it, or make general small talk: 'I can't believe it is so cold out here,' 'we're in for a bad winter.' Now you've seen their face and could identify them in a line-up; you lose appeal as a target.


11) If someone is coming toward you , hold out your hands in front of you and yell STOP or STAY BACK ! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they'd leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back . Again, they are looking for an EASY target.


12) If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes) , yell I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.


13) If someone grabs you , you can't beat them with strength but you can by outsmarting them If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm (between the elbow and armpit) OR in the upper inner thigh VERY VERY HARD .


One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands - the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it - it hurts.


14) After the initial hit, always GO for the GROIN . I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy's parts it is extremely painful . You might think that you'll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble and He's out of there.


15) When the guy puts his hands up to you , grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.


16) Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings , take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don't dismiss it, go with your instincts!!!
You may feel a little silly at the time, but you'd feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.


1 . Tip from Tae Kwon Do : The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans . If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM . Toss it away from you....chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.) DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

a. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

5 . A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot or parking garage:

A.) Be aware: Look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat.
B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

C. ) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out.

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)


6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!)


7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times. And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, preferably in a zigzag pattern.

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP!

It may get you raped or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well-educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

9. Another Safety Point: Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her 'Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.'

The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it , but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.

Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door for a crying baby ---- This should be taken seriously because the Crying Baby theory was mentioned on America's Most Wanted this past Saturday when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana.


I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to send this to the ladies only, but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it on.

作文:三十年後的我

真是好狗膽(超爆笑)

作文:三十年後的我.....
在健康國小,作文老師在五年級班上上作文課,指定一個作文題目「三十年後的我」。
班上的一位女生小美寫道:
「今天的天氣不錯,我開著老公結婚週年送我的勞司萊斯,手指上戴著他剛買給
我的 三克 拉大鑽戒,脖子上也掛著上個月生日才送我的紅寶石項鍊,帶著我的小
孩到大安森林公園去玩。我們倘佯在花團錦簇的園區裡,到處都是人們羨慕的眼
光。突然,路上衝出一個渾身惡臭、滿臉污穢、無家可歸的老太太,我仔細一瞧~
「天啊!她竟然是我國小五年級的作文老師!」
老師評語:這一個星期妳只能站著上課

*再忙都要看 !人間處處有陷阱 !

*再忙都要看 !人間處處有陷阱 !

檢察官提醒您:非常重要 一定要看別上當掉入陷阱
今年的 2月24日 早上六點多,我在小港機場要搭機前往越南試車,當我在排隊CHECK-IN時,有一位年約60歲頭髮斑白的老婦人,帶著一位20幾歲手提兩箱行李的年輕人,非常親切且用懇求的語氣向我說:「這位先生,不好意思!我兒子要到越南工作,因為要帶的工具和行李太多了,重量超重,看你託運的行李很少,能不能一箱行李託你一起秤?」

她看我還在猶豫,馬上接著說:「我們沒有攜帶違禁品啦!不信我可以打開給你看看!」

我打量了一下這位「所謂她兒子的年輕人」,雖然外表不像壞人,但在小港機場身上就穿上包商的黃背心(未免太早了),出差還要老媽媽陪至機場CHECK IN,顯然有違常理?

我為避免不必要的麻煩,只好堅決地向她說:「NO!」

那位媽媽隨即又尋找另一個目標,因為是早上7:30的飛機,我在6:45就進入候機室等待,但是直到登機時,我都沒看見「她兒子」到候機室,甚至在登機後,我還來回從飛機頭「搜查」到飛機尾好幾次,都找不到「她兒子」。

這證明了「他媽媽」說謊了!

各位可能有個疑問:「他們都沒上飛機,那拖運行李(縱使有夾帶違禁品)有什麼用?」

我想有幾種可能:

1、在出境登機安檢時就被查獲了,所以「她兒子」被逮了(可能性小)
2、我見過面的「她兒子」本來就不打算登機的,他手上虛晃的機票是真正要登機及出關取行李同黨的機票。若我幫他攜帶行李夾帶過關了,這位藏鏡人會自動來取走行李,若不幸被入境的海關查獲了,這位藏鏡人就悄悄地逍遙法外,我卻成了代罪羔羊。

因為我會在越南找不到託我帶行李的「她兒子」,在百口莫辨下進入了牢籠(這是事後我在網路看到的真實案例,結果案例裡的好心人被馬來西亞政府槍決了)

親愛的朋友,別上當掉入陷阱喔!請仔細閱讀以下五則故事!

■ 海關檢查前,別亂幫陌生人提行李,小心被栽贓(新加坡判處死刑)
某人單獨旅行,在飛機上遇到一位投緣的乘客,兩個人一起下機提取行李,在通過海關之前,那新認識的朋友說:「我的行李真是太多了,能不能麻煩您幫我帶一小件。」

單獨旅行的人,心想自己的東西反正不多,就一手接了過來。

跟著,他被海關的人員,以攜帶毒品走私的罪名逮捕了。

他大聲對著還在另一個關口接受檢查的朋友喊,那人卻說不認識他。

他被架出了海關大廳,悲憤的呼喊聲仍然從長廊盡頭傳來,大廳裡的人都搖頭說:「罪有應得的販毒者,過去不知道已經帶進多少毒品了!」

那飛機上認識的朋友也嘆氣:「好險哪!我差點被栽了贓!」

■ 百貨公司別亂幫陌生人拿東西
一個學生去逛百貨公司,臨出門,突然有個女人,匆匆忙忙地跑來對她說:「我的肚子痛,必須上廁所,可是我跟我先生約好,他就在門口的一輛白色的車子上等我,能不能麻煩您,告訴我先生一聲。」

說完並塞了兩包東西給她:「這也麻煩您交給他。」

學生還沒走出門,就被百貨公司的人抓住。她抱著兩包沒有付錢的貴重商品,嚇得呆呆地站在那裡,因為人贓俱獲,而百口莫辯。

至於那先前說肚子痛的婦人,和所謂的白車,則消失了蹤影。

■ 身分證別亂借人,本票不能亂開
有一次,我的一個朋友跑來跟我說:「有一個從台北下來的人(稱A君),拿著我女兒(B君)的身分證來找我,說我女兒跟他借了三十萬元的"本票"A君又怕 B君拿他的本票去高利貸那亂借錢,希望B君的老媽將那三十萬的"本票" 還給他。」

可是B君的老媽看了看身份證才發現原身份證除了名字正確外,相片根本不對,而且之前他女兒有一次將身份證給弄丟了,有辦理遺失;會不會被有心人士給拿去亂借錢了?因此就跑來跟我爸提這事……

我說:「現在騙人的把戲那麼多,既然身份證不對,那就不用去管他了。」

B君的老媽說:「可是那個人看起很老實,而且身旁又帶著兩個小孩,看起來不像是會騙人的感覺?」

我又說:「你看現在外面的金光黨,那一個看起來不是一臉老實樣?況且有沒有借錢,問你女兒不就知道了,何不問清楚呢?不然你叫他去報案,既然身份證不對,也不必怕說『告』輸他,如果他是真的,他就會陪你玩到底,如果他是假的,自己就會知難而退了。」

聽了我這麼說之後,他也覺得有理? 就不加以理會。

之後事情也就沒有下文了……
1身份證是很重要的證件,千萬不能弄丟,也不要任意的外借;如果不小心弄丟了,一定要去警察局登記遺失,並保留登記遺失的「證據」,再去申請補發。

2「本票」千萬不可隨便開立。

3千萬不要看對方老實就輕易的相信別人,記住,壞人是不寫在臉上的。

4遇到突發的事情,不要一下子就鑽入死胡同,給自己一些時間去思考,就算對方在催促,也要盡量拖延,讓自己整理一下整個事件的過程,判斷事情的「合理性」。

■ 不要隨意換零錢給人,小心被人趁機搶劫

最近有個朋友遇了一個令人髮指的狀況,在這裡提出來供大家參考並小心!一個貌似忠厚的人手上拿著伍佰元,在路上向我的朋友佯稱需要兌換零錢。

待我的朋友伸手拿自己皮夾時,他卻一把抓住我朋友的衣領,並且大叫搶劫,接著很快就從旁出現一個自稱是路人甲的人,出面要作證,並且要強拉我朋友進入較無人的小巷子。

幸好我的朋友了解地形,並知道遇上強盜集團,堅持往人多的方向去,並且執意要到警察局,再盡力甩開用力被抓住的衣領才得以脫困!

以上這件事是發生在台中市東興街附近,但是我認為受害者一定遍佈各處,在這提出來希望大家小心!

這一類的手法,令我對這個社會失望,再也不相信人,也不願好心的幫忙別人!

1建議需要幫助的人,請不要隨便找路人,直接向警察或警局求助!
2勿讓陌生人靠近你,也別靠近陌生人,不管男生或女生。
3別輕易讓威脅你的人帶你進入陌生或少人的環境。
4有機會就向人多的地方去,並大聲呼叫!
5緊急的時候,直接向歹徒下腹攻擊並用手叉他眼睛!
6堅決要求進警察局,連貌似警員的人都不見得可以信任!
7永遠不要停車除非你已經確定已經可以獲得救援,甚至當你遇到輕微車禍時,也別停下來,直接開往警察局。


是不是很值得一讀呢?

上述情形很不幸地是真實而且危險的事件,仔細思考否則=B

God Carries Our Load

Brianna was almost halfway to the top of the tremendous granite cliff. She was standing on a ledge where she was taking a breather during this, her first rock climb. As she rested there, the safety rope snapped against her eye and knocked out her contact lens. 'Great', she thought. 'Here I am on a rock ledge, hundreds of feet from the bottom and hundreds of feet to the top of this cliff, and now my sight is blurry.' She looked and looked, hoping that somehow it had landed on the ledge. But it just wasn't there. She felt the panic rising in her, so she began praying. She prayed for calm, and she prayed that she may find her contact lens.

When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but it was not to be found. Although she was calm now that she was at the top, she was saddened because she could not clearly see across the range of mountains. She thought of the bible verse 'The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth.'

She thought, 'Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know every stone and leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens is. Please help me.' ;
Later, when they had hiked down the trail to the bottom of the cliff they met another party of climbers just starting up the face of the cliff. One of them shouted out, 'Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact lens?'

Well, that would be startling enough, but you know why the climber saw it? An ant was moving slowly across a twig on the face of the rock, carrying it!

The story doesn't end there. Brianna's father is a cartoonist. When she told him the incredible story of the ant, the prayer, and the contact lens, he drew a cartoon of an ant lugging that contact lens with the caption, 'Lord, I don't know why You want me to carry this thing. I can't eat it, and it's awfully heavy. But if this is what You want me to do, I'll carry it for You.'

I think it would do all of us some good to say, 'God, I don't know why You want me to carry this load. I can see no good in it and it's awfully heavy. But, if You want me to carry it, I will.'

God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

Yes, I do love GOD. He is my source of existence and my Savior. He keeps me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him....I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. (Phil. 4:13)


This is a simple test. If you love GOD and are not ashamed of all the marvelous things He has done for you, share this with others.

Woman...

A poem by Maya Angelou
--- take care and enjoy!

=)

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to...

WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
something perfect to wear if the employer,
or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
a youth she's content to leave behind....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .....
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
one friend who always makes her laugh...
and one who lets her cry...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems,
and a recipe for a meal, that will make her guests feel honored...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
a feeling of control over her destiny.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to fall in love without losing herself.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to quit a job, break up with a lover,
and confront a friend without; ruining the friendship...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that she can't change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that her childhood may not have been perfect...
but its over...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
what she would and wouldn't do for love or more...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW..
whom she can trust, whom she can't,
and why she shouldn't take it personally...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
where to go...
be it to her best friend's kitchen table...
or a charming inn in the woods...
when her soul needs soothing...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
what she can and can't accomplish in a day...
a month...and a year...

plus my own addition...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that mistakes are a part of life...
ours and others...

( I'm such a sucker for things like this... )
Oh oh oh - here's another one... =)

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
life's can throw you curve balls...
you gotta prepare to catch it head on ...
or turn and run really really fast...

hehe Take care!!!

**Big hugs!!**

Idiot of the Week

Blow out the flame on the shot before you drink it, IDIOT!!!
