An Iraqi man walks away with a new electricity generator used in private homes when there is a power outage in central Baghdad, December 2005. Many young married couples in Baghdad are not getting enough sex and the problem, they say, is not a lack of desire but of power -- electrical power.(AFP/File/Karim Sahib)
Nope. Not goin' there.
L
I have something to say,
NO MORE SEX FOR OIL! !
So... I gues yelling 'Oh God!!!' during sex is right out.
What a stupid religion. Who needs that baggage in their life?
They dont have AA batteries in Iraq?
Um, don't you mean 'C' batteries?
No sex for you!
I find this story hard to believe. What did Muslims do for all those centuries before electricity was invented?
In this case, it's a 10th century religion which relies on modern plumbing. Unbelievable.
>I find this story hard to believe. What did Muslims do for all those centuries before electricity was invented?
There used to be something called fire that people used I heard once.
Of course, doesn't resistance increase as current drops?
There Iraqis brag how they have been civilized for what, 4000 plus years? And electric power came into existence oh, about 1900?
So what did these jokers do about bathing for the first 3900 years?
This story defies reason. Are we to believe that electricity is the only way the Iraqi's know to heat water? It's like a 120 in the shade over there. Put a pot on the sand next to the mud hut and it will be ready by the time they are done.
This is clearly a case of BUSH'S FAULT.
Wonder what the terrorists are doing? If all we have to do is cut the electricity off, they can't have too many kids, so there would be fewer terrorists in the future. Hmmm.....not a bad idea. Keep 'em in the dark, so to speak!
IT'S ALL BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!
Couldn't this article have managed to say that the amount of electricity generated has more than doubled since pre-war?
Perfect? No. A heck of a lot better for most Iraqis? Yes. A little worse for Saddam's priveleged few, ie those with secure state civil service jobs in the 'water sector'? Yes, and I can quite comfortably live with that.
"Ah, for the good old days when Saddam could barge into your house, rape your woman in front of your eyes, and cut off your thumbs. At least there was plenty of juice!"
Why the hell is it taking so long to restore basic services? I mean it. IF our goal is to change the ME, then this must be our FIRST priority, above other showy stuff.
We have a Paloma on demand LP fired water heater. We never run out of hot water and we're newlyweds.....Just sayin'......
