Fifteen rape victims have formed martial arts movement and are prepared to confront abusers if no one listens to their complaints…

A GROUP of women are fighting back against the sickening culture of rape which they say infects India. Fifteen determined females – all victims themselves – have trained in martial arts and are prepared to hand out rough justice if no one listens to their complaints. And the movement, called the Red Brigade, is growing rapidly following the gang rape and murder of medical student Jyoti Singh Pandey that horrified the world.

In a nation where a woman is reportedly raped every 20 minutes, the group’s leader Usha Vishwakarma said: “We are fighting back – and the boot is now on the other foot.” Member Sufia Hashmi, 17, said: “We’ve caught a lot of men recently. I joined because men always used to pass comments on me and touch my body but now we beat them and they run.”

Like the other members in the northern city of Lucknow, 25-year-old Usha has first-hand experience of the daily dangers women face in the huge nation – a teacher tried to rape her when she was 18. She said: “He grabbed me and tried to open my trousers. I kicked him in the crotch and ran.” Usha complained to staff but they told her to forget it and allowed her attacker to carry on teaching. She said: “Many parents tell girls to quit school so there will be no sexual violence. But we said no – this has to stop. We decided to form a group to fight for ourselves, not just complain.” MORE

This is fantastic.

I tested Walmart’s brand of bottled water and I was shocked to see they sell the most toxic water ever. I tested for Total Dissolved Solids using a TDS meter and the number I got was 271. THAT IS THE MOST TOXIC WATER I HAVE EVER SEEN. Even NYC tap water TDS score is 39. Poland Spring is 42. The water is not even drinkable. I think it’s Criminal to even make profits from selling this water filled with sodium fluoride and who knows what else is in that. 500 ppm (parts per million) is the EPA Maximum but even though the FDA is corrupt their recommended is 000, which is pure.

THE ONLY BOTTLED WATER THAT READS 000 IS DUANEreade/Walgreens ‘NICE’ branded water.

PLEASE SHARE THIS INFO ALONG.

Power in the world will eventually (and possibly sooner than expected) be determined by who has control of the water… and if people in control of water are comfortable doing this (among other things like selling little more or worse-than-tap water at a mind-blowing markup vs. tap, pumping the Great Lakes dry to bottle and sell it to China, etc) I’m deeply afraid of what is to come.

tl:dr - In short, boycott bottled water.

do you ever feel like you’re just sort of

there

like all your friends go out and do things and get into relationships and like people that like them back and have fun and do stupid things with their best friends and instead of doing all that you’re just sort of this mildly entertaining thing that people take an interest in once in a while but they wouldn’t really care if it was gone

like you just sort of exist but you don’t really mean anything

Gorgeous scenery in ‘Lady & the Tramp’

I personally love the architecture of the buildings. Disney does an amazing job with colors in their movies. Not to mention that this is hand drawn is just jaw-dropping. I hope you guys enjoy these as much as I enjoy them. I picked out my personal favorites <3

Probably my childhood favorite Disney Movie.

I really wish that my aunt would realise that maybe “god’s gift” of intelligence doesn’t have to only be used (and quite possibly wasted) going to school. And I also wish she would stop hassling me already over getting my license cos obviously there’s circumstances holding me back from being able to practice and take the test and I’d rather not explain it so I just lie and say “yeah I’m driving” to shut her up.
