A New Zealand teenager has faced death threats after boasting about stealing ice cream and insulted survivors of the devastating earthquake on her Facebook page.

Amy Knowles, 16, sparked an embarrassed reaction from her mother after her page on the social networking site was bombarded with messages from furious residents.

She was visiting Christchurch from her home in Canterbury when the earthquake struck on Tuesday.

She wrote: 'Stole ice creams, got drunk and mished around seeing f***** up s***, earthquakes aren't soooo bad.

'Haha people give me s*** about loving in Rangiora. F*** you all, I have power, water, and can s*** and flush it,' the New Zealand Herald reported.

Her mother, Yvonne Knowles, commented on her remarks: 'I'm ashamed to call you my daughter.'

She added to the newspaper: 'When I sat her down she said the icecreams were not stolen from the shop. She found them on the floor.

'But she should not have taken them.'

Ms Knowles has since apologised and deleted her Facebook account after the furious reaction to her comments.

Unfortunately this is the face of the typical modern woman. It ain’t pretty and is the primary reason guys are “pumping and dumping” rather than participating in marriage 2.0. Western civilization is doomed unless we get this under control.

“primary reason guys are “pumping and dumping” rather than participating in marriage”

I’d say the primary reason is that they know there’s a > 50% chance the woman will freak out & take the kids 3-5 years in.

That’s why I will only marry a conservative Christian woman who believes the Bible.

Mom should take the little b**ch and drag her to Christchurch to do some recovery work and face the survivors she spat upon.

“That’s why I will only marry a conservative Christian woman who believes the Bible.”

That is an excellent start, but it’s not easy to find a Christian woman that will really live the Biblical example of how marriage should be. What I mean is a woman that will show her man respect even when she does not feel like it, and submit to his God-given authority as long as he is in submission to God.

I can’t blame most all women for not following this, because it’s pretty hard to find a man totally submitting himself to the will of God, too.

“What I mean is a woman that will show her man respect even when she does not feel like it,,,”

Most modern western women sneer at this,,but they can scarcely imagine the man they will almost always create by doing this.

A Christian must realize that Biblically, men are commanded to love their wives, and wives are commanded to respect their husbands. One cannot call Christ their Lord and ignore His Words.
