The Rampant, Irresponsible Political Thread

[Der Mike]

May I remind you that your original question/challenge was:

So I told you when. And just that I can't dig up articles from other or more recent years due to lack of time doesn't say it didn't happen.

Well, if you COULD --- you WOULD do it.

And do you really wish to compare "rocks" and the like for what Muslims use when somebody makes them irritable?

Heck, FRANCE has more Muslim violence NOW than Ireland had --- a couple of years ago. Muslims NOW call cops saying their cars were stolen, and then a gang of them beat the hell out of the cop. They attack FIREFIGHTERS, for God's sake (can ANYBODY justify attacking firefighters?)

Actually, here in the Netherlands, people under the influence of islam, with no place to go and hardly any future because they don't work to study for it, attack ambulances and keep the medics from administering first aid.

Needless to say that the rest of the population gets a bit violent with these types every now and then. Some of the idiots involved are now on trial for this. And I don't think for a moment the judge will be kind to them.

But those are the excesses, I must add.

More from the "Religion of Peace".

All you women are just uncovered meat.

Remember, ladies, if you're raped, it's because you were asking for it.

Don't blame the guy saying that, though, cause hey, he's just trying to defend your honor.

As usual, he's not sorry he has these views. Or that he's preaching them. He's just a bit confused as to why you take offense to them.

In addition: a good interview here over Muslim treatment of women. Sad, depressing, and infuriating.

And while the media focuses on making Iraq look as bad as it can, things are going swimmingly in France and Mexico:

Protesters Plan New Marches After Violence in Oaxaca, Mexico
Associated Press

OAXACA, Mexico ù Federal forces stormed Oaxaca and pushed protesters and striking teachers out of the city center they had occupied for five months, leaving the colonial city resembling a battleground, with riot police and burned vehicles lining the streets.

Youths Burn Hundreds of Cars in France
Associated Press

CLICHY-SOUS-BOIS, France ù Marauding youths torched hundreds of vehicles overnight and on Saturday in renewed violence coinciding with the first anniversary of riots that exposed a deep schism between poor North African immigrants and mainstream France.

A group of teenagers set one bus on fire Saturday in the southern French port city of Marseille, seriously wounding a passenger. Three others suffered from smoke inhalation, police said. Two other public buses and 277 vehicles around the country were burned overnight, police said.

Note that the latter article doesn't mention the religion of the "youths" and "teenagers."

Well I'm sure they were probably Christians. Because as ILoveLyta has taught me, they're incredibly violent and prone to these sorts of activities.

[Jan]

There were *plenty* of references to last year's riots and the cause/religion/ethnicity/whatever in the article and the text made it pretty clear that these new incidents are tied with the anniversary. How difficult is it to connect the dots here?

Why didn't you complain that the first article you linked to also didn't mention religion, LiM?

Jan

[Dr Maturin]

Because as far as I know, religion has nothing to do with the clusterfuck going on in Mexico. I GUESS that could be the reason I didn't mention religion...

"More soup? Oh, okay. We love helping the poor here because the Lord loves you...hey! WHY ARE YOU STARING AT ME THAT WAY! YOU'RE GONNA GET YOUR ASS KICKED!"

In the Fox article on this story, yes, they do reference who is causing / instigating / participating in the riots / destruction. I.e., what ethnic / religious group is responsible for that mess over there.

Contrast that with the Associated Press article, however, which, typically, refused to acknowledge such details.

The FNC article was non-diverse.

Abstinence message goes beyond teens
Updated 10/31/2006 8:32 AM ET

By Sharon Jayson, USA TODAY
The federal government's "no sex without marriage" message isn't just for kids anymore.
Now the government is targeting unmarried adults up to age 29 as part of its abstinence-only programs, which include millions of dollars in federal money that will be available to the states under revised federal grant guidelines for 2007.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2006-10-30-abstinence-message_x.htm

Talk about completely losing touch with all reality! I can almost see the campaign targeting kids, but adults? Yeah, like that's gonna happen.

Jan

[Dr Maturin]

I agree. But I also believe that we shouldn't spend that money on condom programs.

[Jan]

There are *lots* of things I don't think we should be spending money on. At least condom programs take human nature into account. And you get two preventions for the price of one. Quite a bargain.

Jan

[AaronB]

An interesting side to this discussion is the CNN poll that found that most American's feel that government is doing too much.

Let's be honest. Many people in this country having kids really, really SHOULDN'T be parents.

I'm not talking about unwanted teenage pregnancies. I'm talking about adults.
