The EU's True Nature Is Revealed

The EU is desperately and pathetically trying to cling to Gibraltar as the UK leaves the union. Even though Gibraltar has been exclusively British for over 300 years, Spain and the EU are now attempting to claim the land. This illustrates how the EU truly thinks. They put on a happy persona, saying that they are not an empire that sucks the sovereignty out of every place that they touch, yet when push comes to shove, they act exactly like such an empire.

The Spanish government, some of the biggest hypocrites on in the Western world, think that they should automatically own Gibraltar because it is "touching" Spain and not the rest of the UK (which is like saying that Alaska is Canadian because it is "touching" Canada and not the rest of the US)...yet they themselves have two enclaves, Ceuta and Melilla, which are "touching" Morocco and not the rest of Spain. Now THAT is the height of hypocrisy. I don't know how some people got the idea into their heads that every country has to be "contiguous". Also, Gibraltar has complete control over its own matters, except for "defence and foreign relations", and they want to stay British.

Hmm... This reminds me a bit of another Spanish-speaking country that in 1982 also believed that its "proximity" to a completely British land that wanted to remain British gave it authority to simply claim it as their own. Do you remember how that turned out?

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...
