The Aruban incident ticks me off on three levels:
1. The total obfuscation coming from the pencil neck geek Aruban teens, from the Frankenstein-like Dutch punk and from his lawless lawyer father. As macabre and irreparably dented as the BTK killer is, at least when he was caught, he came clean. Not so with these palm pilots.
2. The incredibly decrepit Aruban Keystone cops and their banana republic judicial system who have handled this case like MC Hammer handled his finances during the 90’s and . . .
3. The fact that this could have been avoided if . . . if . . . Natalee would have simply run away from with these little horn dogs.
What the heck is a good-looking blonde girl doing leaving her friends at midnight to go off with the Netherlands’ version of Lurch and the local Mango brothers? With all due respect to Natalee and her parents, what was she thinking? She was asking for disaster. Now, because of one bad decision, because of over-riding her common sense and probably everything her parents have told her not to do, she has, almost certainly, been murdered by these three stooges. What a shame. What a loss. And again—what an avoidable tragedy.
Of the 157 missing kids in Florida, 120 are girls, i.e. 75% of the kidnapped or murdered victims are little ladies. In addition, one out of every five teen girls will experience some form of dating violence by the time she finishes high school. The reality is, ladies, Happy Days are over and the girls have got to wise up if they want to avoid being duct taped and stuck in the trunk of some loser’s Trans Am.
The answer is not isolation. There really aren’t any Mayberry RFD’s to move to any more, as weird guys seem to be everywhere today. Therefore, it is up to you, my little chicas bonitas, to become sharper than a bag of wet mice when you party, travel and date. Yes, even blondes must cease to be “blonde” in their deductions of most dudes.
In order to be safe and still have a good time I’ve concocted a helpful list of pointers—some borrowed from Safety Chick, Kathleen Baty, some from www.familyeducation.com and some from my own ridiculously distrusting, overprotective, don’t-mess-with-my-daughters-or-I’ll-kill-you brain. If followed, you stand a pretty good chance of avoiding the Van der Sluts—I mean—Sloots that are out there. Here we go . . .
1. Whet your BS detector. Girls, if ‘red flags’ start going off in your head, your skin begins to crawl up your arm and your gut revolts against your eyes and ears, then you might want to pay attention to what your body/ intuition is telling you. Yes, Gavin de Becker’s Gift of Fear (that we all have and often to our detriment, override) is trying to tell you there is a lot wrong with Mr. Rico Suave—no matter how he looks or what he says. Yes, your sixth sense is trying to tell you there is something awry with Mr. Nice Guy. Don’t blow this in-house salvo off, but rather get well acquainted with your internal ticker; it’ll help you see through the veil of crap most bad guys live behind.
2. Party Smart. When out partying, lame guys with hackneyed existences have found ways around getting a life before they get a girl. It is called, as you all know, date rape drugs. With the advent of roofies and ecstasy, losers are able to work around your brain and body (if they can lace your drink) by getting you so smashed that you throw off any inhibitions (or go unconscious) so they can try their ham-fisted moves on you. So, to avoid being French kissed, raped, impregnated, kidnapped or murdered by these slugs:
• Don’t take a drink from a stranger. Receive your drink, only, only from the bartender; watch him make it, and then have him hand it directly to you.
• Don’t leave your drink lying around where Goofy can drop a roofie in it.
• Don’t party with brain-dead buddies. Hang out with friends who aren’t like Gary Busey or Tara Reid, who keep their wits about them when they’re having a good time, who will not let you leave with three local peons or get ridiculously wasted, who have a well honed BS detector and who will not let you get behind the wheel of your 330I if you’ve had seven shots of Cabo Wabo.
3. Learn to Kick Butt. A good defense is a strong offense, and ladies, I’m a big advocate of your learning how to dissemble a man, should the need arise, with your own hands, feet and weapon. If I were you, my dear, I would take martial arts, learn how to use a knife, buy a gun and get a concealed weapons permit. I’m talking getting packed, stacked and ready to whack.
Yes, you would do well to follow hard in the path of Lara Croft, Charlie’s Angels, Annie Oakley and Wonder Woman in learning how to wail on any would-be perpetrator. Can you imagine if one of those Aruban rubes made some ill advance on Natalee, and she were able to go Jackie Chan on them? The May 31st Aruba Diario headlines would have been somewhat different. They would have read, “Dutch dill weed admitted to ER last night to have proctologist remove driftwood from his backside put there by young blonde who told him ‘no’ and meant it.”
agreed. sad that some feel it a BIG accomplishment to graduate from high school in the first place.
I always assumed it was just expected.
The original poster simply referred to "girls" as to contrast with "women."
Yet you equate this to her being a communist. Great.
Is there a tool I can use on FR to make sure I can't see calex59s future posts? Reading them is a waste of time.
How true. Senator Shelby of Alabama asked Aruba to allow the FBI and other US law enforcement agencies help/search/conduct interrogations, whatever it takes....and Aruba said no thanks, we're doing just fine.
With your permission, I am going to use this as a derogatory term in general conversation.
I took a bunch on purpose once but they didn't work; I still woke up alone. Talk about throwing good money after bad....
One remote possibility (which I do not buy) is that she refused to leave and was left at the beach alone... then went for a drunken swim like the first scene from Jaws.
LOL!
I considered that possibility myself, Jaws notwithstanding, you can easily drown in a doggie dish when drunk as a skunk.
However, from all that I have been hearing about how the tides and currents work around Aruba, her corpse would almost certainly have been found by now if she drowned.
There are just to many unknowns in this story.... I'm afraid they will turn in to never be knowns. Just hope the "Girls Gone Wild" crowd take a lesson from this.
Lol. Boy, did I push a button or what. Don't get your shorts all in a bunch.
1. The terms "girls" is used by the pornography business to give men the illusion that the pathetic pornies are NOT adult women who are spreading their legs for a camera but sweet, innocent "girls."
2. The sex industry advertizes "Girls!, girls! girls! Live and nude!," on the marquees of all the sleazy lap dancing, strip joints, sex clubs and such. "Girls" makes them far more sexy, that is, the men who go for that stuff LIKE the idea of girls over women. "Women" sounds all too real, baggy boobs and butts.
3. "Working girls,"--a.k.a. women prostitutes who may be forty years old--is used by sex industry (That would be pimps and madams.) to give men the ILLUSION that the hookers they are using are "girls."
"Working girls"--as if spreading your legs is working. "Girls," what an insult to ALL real girls. Imagine, the hooker does 5 men a day, 5 days a week. That's 400 men a month. That's 4,800 men a year. In 10 years that 48,000 sexual screws and/or bj's. "Girl"? Hardly.
4. Defense attornies also say "My client is a nice girl," when the young woman is 19 years old and is in LOTS of trouble. She may have murdered her two children but "She's just a girl."
"Girl" indicates that she is SOOO innocent, naive, pure and helpless. Heaven forbid the attorney uses the correct word, "woman." That might indicate that she is an adult who is responsible for her actions.
The poor young woman who got herself lost ISN'T a girl. If she were a girl she would be with mommy and daddy, protected and safe. She was a full grown YOUNG woman who got herself foolishly mixed up in a whole lot of trouble.
I took exception to THIS case because it seemed as if the young woman was being "girl"ed unfairly, as if she were not a responsible adult woman.
THAT BEING SAID, I DO use the term "girl" a whole lot for women. I go out with the "girls." When people say, "How are you and the girls?" I don't bat an eyelash.
I teach college men and women. Young women really do hate being called "girls" --SOMEtimes. harhar. Other times they LOVE it. It all depends on WHO is calling them girls.
They want ALL the privileges, rights and respect of being a WOMAN. But they will be woman or girl, whatever is convenient at the time for THEM. It really is true.
But YOU obviously know MUCH better than I do, being a guy. You obviously know my party affilication and that I look like hillary -- all because I disagree with you.
Haha, what a loser you are. THAT word is perfect. It fits both women, girls, men and BOYS...... By the way, do you like being called a "boy" or being called "boy"? Lol. Hey, you might BE only 17 years old. You sound like it.
You said this to calex59. Haha. See my epistolay effort to him below. It's in pink. Ya can't miss it.
He's just a boob. Or perhaps the "59" indicates his I.Q. One never knows. I go for the "boob" theory.
My bf was reading the article this morning and mentioned the possibility of getting rolled, or worse : (
Good article, good advice, and good description of the useless ugly slugs who kidnapped Natalee.
