    Dear Dr Laura,

    Thank you for doing so much to educate people
    regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal
    from your show,
    and I try to share that knowledge with as many
    people as I can.
    When someone tries to defend the homosexual
    lifestyle, for
    example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22
    clearly states
    it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need
    some advice
    from you, however, regarding some of the specific
    laws and how
    to best follow them.

    a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a
    sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the
    Lord
    (Lev.1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim
    the oder is
    not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

    b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as
    sanctioned
    in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you
    think would be
    a fair price for her?

    c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman
    while she is
    in her period of menstrual uncleanness
    (Lev.15:19-24). The
    problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but
    most women
    take offense.

    d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed posess
    slaves, both male
    and female, provided they are purchased from
    neighboring
    nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies
    to Mexicans,
    but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own
    Canadians?

    e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the
    Sabbath.
    Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to
    death. Am I
    morally obligated to kill him myself?

    f) A friend of mine fells that even though eating
    shellfish is
    an abomination (Lev.11:10), it is a lesser
    abomination than
    homosexuality. I didn't agree. Can you settle this?

    g) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the
    alter of God if
    I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I
    wear reading
    glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is
    there some
    wiggle room here?

    h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed,
    including the
    hair around their temples, even though this is
    expressly
    forbidden by Lev 19:27 How should they die?

    i) I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of
    a dead pig
    makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I
    wear
    gloves?

    j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by
    planting two
    different crops in the same field, as does his wife
    by wearing
    garments made of two different kinds of thread.
    (Cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and
    blaspheme a
    lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the
    trouble of
    getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev.
    24:10-16.
    Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private
    family affair
    like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws?
    (Lev.
    20:14) I know you have studied these things
    extensively, so I am
    confident you can help.

    Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is
    eternal and
    unchanging.

    Your devoted disciple and adoring fan,

    Michael Moore

    THE USED PANTY MENACE of EBAY!

    Around October, 1999 I first began to expose the bizarre panty ads on eBay!

    The national media picked up on it, and all around the U.S.A. people were shocked to discover that eBay was the premiere portal for panty sniffing in the world!!

    Where else could you buy RIPE undies sealed in plastic bags? Times Square porn shops didn't sell 'em. No store allows underwear to be returned if the package is opened. So eBay had the drop on the drawers market!

    Who knows, maybe at first these ads were placed by Margaret Whitman, the CEO of eBay. Maybe it was the best way to raise some money to hire all the crack lawyers that keep eBay from any responsibility for all the fraud auctions on the website.

    A few years ago eBay let used underwear ads run ALL OVER THE WEBSITE

    eBay's favorite defense was "we are just a portal."

    So you had all kinds of nutty ads with women posing in their panties. Any kind of lewd comments seemed to be allowed. Jeez, even MEN were getting involved!

    Well, as my pages filled with ads like this, and postmen began to keel over from the stink of used panty items being delivered to curious schoolboys, nostalgic oldies and sorry Bill Gates types, eBay decided to change their underwear...policy.

    They were embarrassed by all these women using eBay for a public changing room.

    NO MORE WOMEN POSING IN THEIR PANTIES!

    So the gals simply doffed their dirty duds...and held them up for the camera!

    And everyone was still raising a stink.

    So eBay modified their policy yet again, this time declaring that the ads must state that the underwear was CLEAN. Ebay also declared that if women wanted to pose in their panties, or pose OUT of their panties, they could only do it in the "adults only" section of the site.

    But the "we're only a portal, we don't police our website" eBay dunces were hapless to prevent people from posting used panty ads in the "General" area of eBay anyway. Here was a "legit" ad placed in the "General" area of eBay, and it was full of nudge-nudge and wink-wink ad copy....

    No wonder buyers named "sniffysniff" were spending $20 and even $40 per panty on the website.

    But as more and more morons began to sell, prices went down faster than the panties.

    Still, a good ad, especially one promising explicit photos, or even phone sex, or a meeting, did very very well

    Ebay still allowed these ads in the "women's clothing" section of the site...as if WOMEN were buying these items! How many women who OWN a COMPUTER are poor enough that they need to buy second-hand, or second-ass panties??

    But eBay wasn't listening to complaints that these ads belonged ONLY in adults only, if at all

    Even now, there's NO guarantee eBay monitors their site or prevents wacky ads from appearing...

    EBay's legendary arrogance crumbled against the weight of publicity and public opinion, and on November 21, 2000 they banned "Used underwear - including but not limited to, boxer shorts, panties, briefs, athletic supporters." This included the adult section of the website. Some sellers tried to squeeze their items in before the deadline...

    BUTT, to this day, if you type in "used panties" you'll find some sneaky sellers offering up anything they've pulled down...and using the dopey "BUY IT NOW" feature to do it.

    All the ads on this page were from the 'general' section of eBay's site where anyone could see and buy. You have to wonder what kind of diseases one can catch from smelly underwear, and if eBay might one day face a lawsuit from an irate panty sniffer with swollen nostrils and a brain tumor, or heartbreakingly pimply skin and genitalia!

    Considering that any seller can have about a million AOL accounts and get on eBay over and over, sellers will continue to offer quickie "BUY IT NOW" auctions. We haven't seen the END of the USED PANTY MENACE of EBAY!!!
