humble3d Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 :lol: :wtf:Chinese city bans, destroys matches to fight terror :lol:Media and more via the links below...(Reuters) - A city in China's violence-prone far western region of Xinjiang has banned matches and destroyed more than 20,000 boxes of them as part of efforts to fight terror attacks, a state-run newspaper said.Fukang, which sits near regional capital Urumqi, decided to remove all matches from circulation to ensure they are not used by "terrorist groups or individual extremists to carry out criminal activities", the People's Daily said on its website.Police destroyed 20,223 boxes of matches, which will ensure that the city maintains its current peaceful environment, the newspaper added, citing the local government.The county police made the original announcement last week but it was only picked up by state media on Tuesday.The announcement didn't say how the matches are used for criminal activity.China has been toughening its response after a spate of bloody incidents nationwide centered on Xinjiang, the traditional home of the Muslim Uighurs.China has blamed attacks on Islamist separatists in the region, who, it says, want to establish an independent state there called East Turkestan.http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/07/15/us-china-xinjiang-idUSKBN0FK0RN20140715THE CITY FATHERS ARE EXPECTED TO RULE THAT HUMANS SHOULD BE BLAMED BECAUSE THEY ARE THE REAL TERRORISTS...

calguyhunk Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I think we should all ban humans from our cities (and towns and suburbs and villages and ... well you get the idea). That will keep us safe and the environment clean and the planet healthy. And I'm not even remotely joking. -_-How's that for an idea? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
