WTF: Man Spends the Night Hanging From A 7th Floor Window Because the Husband of A Woman He Was Cheating With Came Home Early

09/19/2015 10:34 am

This is deeply insane but considering the other alternatives which are; to have jumped to the ground and die or to have stayed in the room and be greeted by several beatings followed by a disgrace—this man seems to have made the right choice.

A Chinese’ Shishi Fujian Province man is reported to have taken a deadly risk and climbed out of the window to escape from the husband of a woman he was cheating with, when the man returned from an out of town business trip earlier than expected.

It was a 7th floor so surely this was one long wait for the man outside the window—and the cheating wife couldn’t do much while her husband was at home. So she waited till the next morning for her husband to step out for work before calling fire-fighters who rescued the man.

VIDEO: UK MPs Call for Excessively Thin Models to Be Banned

Ahead of London’s Fashion Week which kicks off tomorrow, calls are once again being made for the United Kingdom to join the list of countries which have banned excessively thin models—those with Body Mass Index (BMI) below 18.

The United Kingdom has been reluctant to join the ship which has seen countries like France banning the excessive use of thin models and in fact criminalizing such usage at fashion shows.

Now, the chairwoman of a group of MPs-Caroline Noakes who heads the All Parliamentary Group on Body Image has come out to say, legislation should be considered if a voluntary code of conduct is not effective.

Even though several countries are demanding that models should have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18 – 18.5 to take part in shows, “the British Fashion Council insists BMI is not an accurate measurement for young women and the focus is on looking after models and encouraging health and wellbeing with nutritious food and drink provided backstage,” reports Sky News.

The UK needs to take this issue seriously and put some sort of restriction in place so that the various agencies cannot continue to use those who are dangerous thin.

UK MPs to Debate Legalising Cannabis | Selling It in Shops and Taxing It to Fund the NHS

by GC Staff bG

Members of UK’s parliament have been forced by a petition on their website which received over 210,000 signatures to debate whether to legalise Cannabis in the UK for medicinal use or not—those in support want cannabis to be sold in shops and be taxed to fund the NHS.

This is obviously going to be an interesting debate but considering the posture of the Tories, this wouldn’t go any far. The Tories have already issued a statement on the pending debate, saying, ‘substantial scientific evidence shows cannabis is a harmful drug that can damage human health’.

Meanwhile, Labour MP-Paul Flynn, who has campaigned for more than a decade for the medicinal use of Cannabis will lead the debate.

The debate will take place in Westminster Hall, the second-biggest Commons venue after the chamber itself, on October 12—and all MPs will be able to take part.

These cases of people’s religious convictions coming into conflict with the jobs they’re supposed to carry out is becoming a dime a dozen these days and a lasting solution must be found to it.

When your job requires you to do something, and your religion requires you to do something else, how do you account for both? Should you resign, if you’re really convinced of your convictions. Or you stay on but refuse to do your job? Isn’t this about the whole ‘give to Caesar’s what’s his and to God what’s his?’

This is What We Call Civilized Society | Guatemalan President-Otto Perez Molina RESIGNS

09/3/2015 3:43 pm

by GC Staff bG

No one ever resigns in Ghana; not even the person at the bottom of the ladder—so we will never have a top ranking official like the President ever resigning. At least, not while we are live.

In civilized societies, both public and private office holders resign when they find themselves in the middle of scandals, unwanted problems or when they have failed the people they are supposed to serve. But once again, this is not the case at our part of the world.

According to The Associated Press, Guatemalan President-Otto Perez Molina stepped down late Wednesday in the face of a major corruption scandal, his office announced.
