Wildlife Defies Chernobyl Radiation

An anonymous reader writes "The BBC reports that wildlife has reappeared in the Chernobyl region even with high levels of radiation. Populations of animals both common and rare have increased substantially and there are tantalizing reports of bear footprints and confirmed reports of large colonies of wild boars and wolves. These animals are radioactive but otherwise healthy. A large number of animals died initially due to problems like destroyed thyroid glands but their offspring seem to be physically healthy. Experiments have shown the DNA strands have undergone considerable mutation but such mutations have not impacted crucial functions like reproduction. It is remarkable that such a phenomenon has occurred contrary to common assumptions about nuclear waste. The article includes some controversial statements recommending disposal of nuclear waste in tropical forests to keep forest land away from greedy developers and farmers"

    The continued existence of people like you who are otherwise retarded yet maintain a semblence of normalcy and even occasionally a spark of something that would be called brilliance by a less observant man is a testament to this very fact.

    God bless evolution.

    COMMON PROBLEMS OF SEX WITH CHILDREN -- A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE G.N.A.A.
    A practical problem of sex with children is physical. It is very important to understand that adults are much bigger than kids. Obviously commmon sense must be used. The size differences CAN be dealt with and sex can be accomplished without harming a child physically. This mostly applies to sex with very young girls. It is probably not advisable for adult male pedophiles to even attempt vaginal penetration with a girl until at least age 9. A girl much below that age is not able in many cases able to handle an adult penis (especially if one has a large penis) being inserted in her vagina. She is often simply too small to take it all the way in easily without pain. The girl may not enjoy full-insertion intercourse no matter how gentle, as she simply is too small & cannot handle the sensation of the penis being fully inserted and withdrawn repeatedly as an adult female can easily allow. Your erect penis may also look HUGE to her, causing apprehension. She may also have an intact hymen, & dealing with this is tricky. You should proceed with intercourse VERY carefully or not at all since you can hurt her quite easily even if you are extra gentle-she is NOT a woman-remember that! In any case, if she becomes familiar with the concept of intercourse, she may ask you to do it. I advise you to not give into her pleading or if so use judgement and proceed VERY carefully and GENTLY. You may have to settle for partial insertion to satisfy her wishes without actually having real intercourse. This way is a safer compromise and with it she can see what it is like sort of without injuring her. If you must break her hymen, do it carefully, but firmly-do not prolong her sexual suffering needlessly. When inserting the penis, (especially her first time being penetrated) do so very slowly & gently & listen to her carefully. Ask her if it is painful, & if she would like you to stop & remove it. If she says to, obey her. You want to make intercourse pleasing not painful, & listening to her is the key. Do not fret, intercourse may still work if you are gentle enough and you do not push her. She may be able to accept penetration with sufficient practice, but that will never happen if you are too rough on her. At the very least, you may be able get her to permit partial insertion and go from there, it just takes time and patience and listening to her feedback. If you cannot have complete intercourse or even partial penetration, do not try and force it-accept it and allow her & teach her to satisfy you in other ways which will not hurt her. The last thing you want to do is harm her, so you may have to accept oral sex (whether she swallows semen or not is something you have to work out with her-do not make her do anything she feels uncomfortable with. In any case, she will probably be fascinated by ejaculate, since it is so alien & new to her even if she understands the biology. Fear of swallowing semen is a woman thing, a learned prejudice that females pick along the way to associating sex with dirtyness and from talk to girlfriends who refuse to do this and give women ideas. Many times they have not even TRIED it before condemning! Hopefully, you can catch her before her friends terrorize her and convert her to these prejudices without at least TRYING it...) or mutual masturbation. She can stimulate you by hand or mouth & you can do the same for her. Female pedophiles who are sexually active with boys have it much easier-you cannot hurt him by letting him insert his erect penis inside your adult vagina. It may be a little loose, but he will not be harmed by it, & you may enjoy it. He should be able to climax by vaginal stimulation if you do it to him right, but it may take work. Anal sex with either sex is likewise risky & should be done carefully with older children or not at all. The most important thing is to listen to the child & not do ANYTHING they do not wish to do. You must not hurt the
