Quit the EU.

To those who didn't know, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and European Union have said that it is a violation of human rights to 1) give life sentences (forget about death sentences), 2) bar convicted criminals in prison from voting, and 3) deport criminal illegal immigrants with families in the country.

Imagine someone murdered your children in front of you.  Now imagine that not only can you not seek the death penalty, but you can't even seek life in prison.  Wow!

Some in the UK are upset about this, as they should be, but it seems like most of the government is going along with all of this BS.  I used to respect the UK.  I have very little left for it now (as a general concept.  Of course there are many great individuals who live there).

The EU is a crock, and I see it more and more.  And the UK has become a follower.  It's quite pathetic what a century has done.  It's like after WWII, people said to the UK, "You've owned much of the world for quite a while.  But how would you like to have control of your internal affairs dictated by a government overseas?"  Then, the UK responded, "Well that's a jolly good idea!" and decided over the next few decades to not only give up its colonies, but to also give up its own sovereignty and become a colony.  That's how I think of the UK now.

To European countries that haven't joined the EU yet such as Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Turkey and some former Yugoslavian countries, I say stay out...for your own good.  The EU does not equal Europe.  You might think that you're "cool" if you're part of the club, but I think it's best to stay out.  Don't give up your sovereignty.

 Below is a link to an article about some of these things:

Sokal-style hoaxes work for religious postmodernists, but (post) modernism is the real hoax Modernism in art and architecture, and postmodernism in philosophy are, like religion, insults to human intelligence.  Unfortunately, many people fall for their hollow propaganda. The "Sokal Affair" was a hoax whereby a man called Alan Sokal submitted a postmodern-sounding article to a postmodern journal.  It turns out that the English you hear isn't just unintelligible to you, but it's unintelligible to the people at the journal as well.  But if it's unintelligible, it must be profound, right?  The journal quickly accepted it, not knowing that it was all fake B.S.  They then got embarrassed when they were told that it was pompous-sounding drivel. Religion has done the same thing.  When people can't understand something, they generally think it's much more profound than if they can understand it.  If a priest speaks Latin, wears some weird costume, and sp...

The Islamic State has beheaded at least 21 Christians in Libya.

Whenever a Muslim brings up the Crusades, I have to laugh to myself.  Christians have done horrible things, including in later crusades against Constantinople and the Cathars in particular.  However, get this.  The Islamic State militants said, "Safety for you crusaders is something you can only wish for" right before butchering Egyptian Christians. It seems that many Muslims haven't taken a single history class.  If they had, they would have known that Christians existed in Egypt for 400 years before Islam.  (Heck, they were even around to murder Hypatia, perhaps the last major ancient female philosopher.)  It was the Muslims who were the "Crusaders"...yet almost nobody will admit to this.  Muslims instigated a merciless war against Christian Egyptians until they were overcome and under Islamic domination.  They did this to people across the world, from Spain to India...massacring any who resisted.  They tried to destroy the Byzaintine Em...

Fighting Klanophobia I'm always hurt when I see bigots offend groups of people.  All too often, people paint a group, "the other" with a broad brush and stereotype them as being evil, even though the crimes that are associated with them are only committed by a tiny minority fringe element within the larger group. Such is the case with the Ku Klux Klan.  Most people don't like to associate with them.  There is a lot of prejudice directed towards that group, particularly among blacks and Jews, but this hate is widespread.  If you see a klansman wearing his cultural garb, how do you feel?  Do you become nervous?  Do you think that he'll do something violent?  If so, you're part of the problem. The KKK is an organization of peace.  Most of its members are peaceful and only want to go about their lives without being harmed...like most people in this world.  Sure, there are a few members who preach hate, but that's true in almost every grou...
