Would you buy a They doll?

I have heard countless conversations blaming "Them" for all the problems of the world. When I ask for names and faces defining who "They" are, it is always vague, sweeping stereotypes of cops, teachers, soldiers, men, women, etc., etc.

My notion is of making faceless "They" dolls in the costumes of the various stereotypes, complete with little implements of torture folks can use to work out these aggressions.

Would you buy one?

    LMAO!! I would buy a bunch and give them to my friends - what a genius idea! Yea, I've always wondered who THEY were and why THEY have so much unfluece.

    ADVICE: Get it patented before someone here steals you're idea cuz, especially in places like LA & NY, you could make a bundle!

    Still laughing... :-D

    Well, I do love good satire :-)

    I'm not sure how well it'd go over with the public in regard to the torture devices, but I do think that people would be amused by the idea. Stereotypes seem to be a defining factor in the actions of many people in regard to how they treat others. It's a tad sad, but it's a fact of life.

    no, but what if you changed it to faceless ex girlfriends and boyfriends. i have made plenty of "voodoo" dolls for my friends when they are getting over a relationship. You poke at them and then you burn them, so maybe sell it with a book of matches and little torcher devices (pins, little sissors, etc). Maybe one doll has a penis, another a tongue, things people could take their anger out on (cheaters, liars)

    Revelation 3:19&20 Jesus says "I love you and knock on your heart door to come in, and be your friend, if you repent and ask me in." John 3 repent of sin and be born again." Jesus Christ.

    Jesus speaks from heaven Revelation 1:1 chapter 1 verse 1 & 3:19&20 "I love you and ask you to repent of sin quickly. Behold I stand/I am at your heart door and knock to come in, ask me in and i will and be your friend."

    Ê-sai 9:6 Vì có một con trẻ sanh cho chúng ta, tức là một con trai ban cho chúng ta; quyền cai trị sẽ nấy trên vai Ngài. Ngài sẽ được xưng là Đấng Lạ lùng, là Đấng Mưu luận, là Đức Chúa Trời Quyền năng, là Cha Đời đời, là Chúa Bình an.

    Ê-sai đã viết Kinh Thánh năm 700 trước Công Nguyên trước khi Chúa Giê-Xu đến thế gian. Chúa Giê-xu đã dự đoán rằng Chúa Giê-xu là Đấng toàn năng! = cam on, Happy Past New Year no bad spirits/deamons/fallen angels against Jesus & in with happy Spirit of Gie-Xu Chua,

    Gie-xu Chua is our best friend once we let Him into our heart= A Buddhist Christian says its all the same coin just different sides. Is Jesus the only way to Salvation? Why not Islam,Buddhism,Judaism,hinduism or Pagan not the way to salvation?

    Jesus is the way to Salvation, He died for our sins.

    Psalm 30:5 Weeping/cry :( may be for a nite, but with Jesus help joy :) comes in the morning=happy new day!

    :D you beautiful to Gie-xu Christ Jesus.

    Happy 2009 New Year to All

    Xin chao/salam

    Lạy Chúa, xin hãy dùng con như khí cụ bình an của Chúa,Để con đem yêu thương vào nơi oán thù, Đem thứ tha vào nơi lăng nhục, Đem an hòa vào nơi tranh chấp,Đem chân lý vào chốn lỗi lầm.Để con đem tin kính vào nơi nghi nan, Chiếu trông cậy vào nơi thất vọng. Để con dọi ánh sáng vào nơi tối tăm,Đem niềm vui đến chốn u sầu. Lạy Chúa, xin hãy dạy con,Tìm an ủi người hơn được người ủi an, Tìm hiểu biết người hơn được người hiểu biết, Tìm yêu mến người hơn được người mến yêu.Vì chính khi hiến thân là khi được nhận lãnh, Chính lúc quên mình là lúc gặp lại bản thân, Vì chính khi thứ tha là khi được tha thứ, Chính lúc chết đi là khi vui sống muôn đời. ,,,,ENGLISH .... O Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace ! Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is discord, harmony.Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sorrow, joy. Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life."

    For you the best in 2009,
