19 January, 2003- Indian officials ventured into deep jungle investigating several missing persons reports from a nearby city. What they found was a โTower of Silence,โ or dakhma. Zoroastrians use these sites to dispose of bodies in the open air. While sites like these are not uncommon in certain parts of India, several peculiarities hint at something more unusual:
1. None of the bodies depicted in the photograph were identified. Villagers from nearby, who were initially surprised at the sheer number of corpses in the dakhma, proved unable to recognize the bodies. The corpses also do not match the descriptions of the missing people.
2. There were no animals except for maggots and flies. Zoroastrians rely on birds such as buzzards to dispose of the bodies in the belief they are contributing back to the Earth. Officials found the corpses relatively untouched by any sort of animal.
3. There is no official count of the bodies. In fact little work was actually accomplished at the site, and perhaps this is the reason only one photograph has emerged. Officials avoided the spot not only because they felt uneasy looking at it, but for the following as well:
4. The deep pit in the center of the photograph was filled with several feet of festering blood. Far more than the bodies on the outside could ever supply. The stench was so unbearable many of the officials began to get nauseous when they first approached the dakhma. The expedition was ended when a villager accidentally kicked a small bone into the pit, penetrating the coagulated surface of the pool. A massive burst of gas from the decomposing blood erupted from the pit, splashing those looking into it, along with the photographer.
Those caught in the explosion were immediately sent to the hospital where they were quarantined for possible infection. They became delirious with fever, shouting about โbeing tainted with the blood of Ahriman (the personification of evil in Zoroastrianism)โ despite never having admitted they had any familiarity with the religion. In fact, many of them had no idea what the dakhma was when they had found it. Delirium turned to insanity as many began to attack hospital staff until they were sedated. The fever eventually killed all of them.
When officials returned with HAZMAT gear the following day, the site was empty. All the bodies had been removed and astonishingly, the pool of blood in pit had been drained. All that remained of the incident was this photograph.

The 19th amendment was a mistake. Women are biologically wired to seek a provider, and in this case, it's the government. Since the 19th amendment was passed in 1919, the government has done nothing but expand and become more intrusive. Social security (a legit ponzi), the welfare state, increased taxation, the list goes on.
Look at the 2016 electoral map if only women voted. 49 states went blue. If only men voted? 49 states went red
Women shouldn't hold office either, or be in combat units in the military. They're emotional and bleed once a month, can't make rational decisions and inherently don't know how to lead, because women who separate themselves from other women in terms of ideas establish themselves as an "outsider" and it lessens their chances of finding a mate. We're animals, and our biology precedes everything.
According to my girlfriend, this opinion is pretty darn unpopular.
