With a trip to America planned there has not been much time for me to read the paper recently. One thing that has garnered my attention however is the latest string of Pirate attacks that are suddenly being publicized. Now Modern day pirate attacks are no new thing, and the publicity can only help towards ending this. What worries me however is how soft we are being to the pirates.Currently these people are sailing the seas, killing innocent people and stealing their boats, ships and cargo. Currently if they get talk all that happens is their weapons and ammunition are conficated and tehy are given provision, yes thats right we give the pirates goods, and send them home. Is there just me that sees something wrong with this?I very much doubt that I was not the only one who cheered when I heard that three of the somalian pirates had been shot dead while holding an American prisoner hostage, these guys go out as bandits and pillage the ships, they get what they deserve.What interests me is why they get given aid, not punishment, would a bank robber be let go if he was caught stealing millions, because these pirates steal millions. Further more would a bank robber be taken to the nearest fast food joint and given a burger? Hell No!If these pirates are intent on continuing their piracy I think our navies should go out their and show with true force what happens to people who mess with our ships, blow em out of the water!And for all the people who say it i because they were fishermen who had all their fish stolen, this has been going on for decades, I think even in that region after nearly 30 years people can get their heads around a different profession.
Its not often that I wonder about the depths that humanity can reach, but recent evidence uncovered around Melbourne in Australia that the bush fires which have claimed the lives of over 180 people may have been started by arsonists.These fires have displaced over 3000 people from their homes and injured over 1000. The fact that this devestation could be a calculated man made travesty sickens me. How could someone calculatingly start fires in the blistering heats currently affecting Australia and still look these people in the face.My deepest condolences and well wishes go out to the families and those affected by these devastating bush fires which are sweeping the areas around Melbourne.I sincerely hope the police in Australia find the arsonist/s behind these fires as soon as possible, before things become even worse.
PETA, one of the worlds most well known and yet most debated animal rights group has caused huge divide in animal rights groups over the years.
Now it is no secret that I am no sympathiser to animal rights or environmental organizations. Most of them are extremely effective at making situations worse and causing increased human suffering and poverty with shortisghted idiotic decisions.
PETA however really get on my tits. They are an organization that focus entirely on propaganda and celebrity endorsement to convince the weak willed and stupid to follow their cause, rather like scientology, simply to increase tehir own profits.
If I am lieing please explain how an organization that earns $30 million surplus a year can only get 3% of fit for adoption pets adopted, the other 97% are killed and dumped. Compare this to the 27% rate of killing in other animal adoption facilities and suddenly you have a real worrying figure.
What really ocncerns me about animal rights agencies such as this is that they even argue against pets, not just cattle. They seem to think it is their right to say an animal should not be alive, because it may suffer just a little.
Well lets get something straight, most people with pets seem to treat them better than their children. Maybe these PETA volunteers and personnel should be shot, after all they are alive and will undoubtedly suffer at some point in their lives, what is the point of them existing.
They are, to put it bluntly, complete wankers.
Should we nuke the hell out of Africa because ‘people are suffering’, just kil them all, no more suffering in africa, no more poverty, it’s best for them right?
Wrong.
Animals should be allowed to live, even if their end is a swift chop. Would you rather not be born if you knew you had a sudden death appearing half way through your life?
Hell yes you would want to live, for as long as possible.
Suicide Bombing was a far and distant terror for most people until the 9/11 attacks. Recently though it seems to have dropped from the news, but in reality there are still a huge amount of suicide bombings occurring in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The difference is they are now targeting civilians in their own countries. I really despair as to what they hope to achieve by bombing, for instance, a market filled with women and children, barely any men and no security forces.
How can someones mind be twisted to a point where they not only believe this is a good idea, but that the senseless slaughter of the children of their own country will somehow guarantee them a place in heaven.
It seems however that this will not stop occurring in the near future, and there is not really any possible way we can prevent it ourselves, after all how do you reason with a person so undeniably insane that they will blow themselves up around children and women with the sole goal of hatred and revenge and the belief that they will go to heaven afterwards.
It saddened me to think that in today’s day and age there are people out there who can seriously bomb the weak and think they are doing the correct thing
I have just read a story on Fox News about how the Canadian Government will be giving out free heroin to addicts. Now from a generic viewpoint this has been put in place to reduce HIV, overdoses, death and crime.
I have another idea, for every convicted felon for burglary we should give a government stipend of $5000, this way they wont need to rob people and they wont injure themselves when they are ‘working’
Maybe they should set up an online application for people who were thinking of becoming criminals ‘sign up now and we will send you money not to commit crimes!’
You could have options to change your stipend,
‘Will you or do you
a) Rob houses for upto $10,000 dollars per month
b) Rob or steal Items of upto $5,000 dollars value per month
c) Mug homies of other gangs yo innit for a poppin $1000 a mo in that right mutha f*ker’
Do you kinda see what I’m getting at here?
Of course the guy leading this campaign seems absolutely oblivious as to how ineffective this campaign will be, and even more worryingly the Vancouver chief of police no less is supporting this because, and I quote
“I’m not a medical expert, this is not my field. I’m an expert in public safety,” Graham said. “And if this will help reduce the crime rate — I’m all for it.”
If I may say so someone who is meant to be in charge of public safety has a very short sighted view of what will happen if the number of heroin addicts increases. (Which will happen if there is no removal of dependancies, fewer deaths etc,
This program is in my eyes abominable, I do not know how any government, let alone the fairly level headed Canadian government can condone it.
As an ongoing penchant of the EU to run with the Global Warming Debacle they have once more made another uninformed and politically ridden piece of legistlation to try and increase costs to car users who drive cars with poor fuel emission ratings.
This is a move which has severly handicapped disabled and older people, as well as the agriculture industry and people who live in rural areas.
Many older or people with slight physical difficulties require larger cars, and the agriculture industry is on the verge of being reduced back to the ‘horse and cart, ox and plough’ era as tractors are announced to be non environmentally friendly.
But its nice to know that a European Conference of some of the worlds greatest minds spent hundreds of thousands of pounds of EU taxpayers money to decide that since requiring fuel efficiency to be included in advertising was not having the desired effect it should infact take up a minimum of 20% of the advertising.
Now did it ever occur to these people that many people need larger cars, whether its because tey have a family to move about, friends to give lifts to, goods to transport, people need big cars and no matter how large your advertising is it will not change the fact that a person looking for a people carrier will still buy a people carrier and a single person living in the city will probably buy a smaller car.
Don’t get me wrong, fuel efficiency is important and useful information when buying a car, but automobile advertising accounts for a massive percentage of western advertising, outflanked only by credit cards and followed closely by mobile phones.
Now imagine if these car companies are suddenly forced to increase their advertising space by 20%, thats 20% more paper used, 20% more trees cut down.
This is scarily close to another recent move on Ethanol, a fuel only transportable by vehicles, where it was decreed by those up on high that gasoline/petrol created for road use must contain at least 5% ethanol, the governmetns even subsidised ethanolproduction world wide.
The result? The speed the rainforest is being cut down has increased dramatically, with rainforest being burned down (Not logged) at an alarming rate for Palm Oil crops. Transportation of this fuel has greatly increased pollution in these areas and since 20% of worldwide farms are now given to Ethanol production third world countries have seen food prices rocket.
My position in this fiasco is clear, global warming has been proven to be part of a natural cycle caused by the Earths relation to the Sun. It’s a simple fact that the Earth is in fact leaving an ice age, so bound to be warming up, its also a simple fact that carbon released by the sea increases as it warms up (Creating a nice relational graph, you can do an experiment in a lab to prove this) and its also true that the graphs and data used to support global warming were debunked well over 25 years ago.
The money spent so far on ‘reducing carbon footprints’ numbrs in the hundreds of millions, and the new EU fund proposed on tackling this looks set to massively increase that. This is money that could be used to help Britian pull itself out of recession and bankruptcy, it could be used to build new recycling plants, finally researching ways to make them more effective.
It could even be used to feed all those starving families in thirld world countries who have been condemmed to death by western incompetancy.
It seems however that we will just see more insane laws and advertising teling us to be ‘green’ while more and more of us fail to pay mortgages and thirld world countries slide into oblivion as they cannot even afford to eat.
The raid on a polygamist sect, The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, recently has once again made the headlines as the Mothers in the sect claim that their children had been taken away illegally.
They have been making several claims about undue stress caused to the children and the problems they may be going through.
Personally I have some real trouble with this.
Yes, the government should try and keep children with their parents unless all other options fail.
However, I despises any judge who can with clear conscience send these children back to the ranch which in most cases seems to be no more than a paedophile ridden brain washing operation.
At this place children as young as 12 are expected to perform the full duties of a wife, they are told this is the right thing to do from the moment they are born.
By allowing this to proceed the judges are doing no more than condoning paedophilia and rape.
The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is indeep trouble over allegations of child sexual abuse and brain washing. This church was founded around five years go in Texas by a man named Warren Jeffs (Currently in Jail as an accomplice in the rape of an underaged girl)
While the members of the church themselves have remained quiet on the matter it has become apparent that several of the children may have been put into marraige at a younger age than 14. The children themselves showed a strong sense of wanting to get married as soon as possible, with no age too young and to have as many babies as possible.
Now while some of the accuracy of the accusations has been debated and the families of the children hotly denying any wrong doing there is some major contention in the courts. (Where mass DNA testing is underway to decide the actual structures of these polygamistic families) . The adults are refusing to say the current relationships between the families fueling the investigation as to wether or not adults have been marrying and engaging in girls who in some cases may have not even hit puberty.
Personally I can see the plus points of polygamy, the child sex abuse is however something that needs to be looked into with all available resource, peaodphilia this widespread is something that deeply worries me.
I read This story on the BC website today. I am glad to see the Judge and Jury system has finally rejected the insanity plea on a horrific case.
This man Microwaved a two month old baby for around 20 seconds. for 20 seconds he saw his daughter burn in the microwave. This isn’t insane, it’s taking a pleasure in causing pain and suffering.
I fully support the 25 year sentence, and personally think his lawyer should be removed from service for trying to claim that the offender Joshua Mauldin was insane at the time he put his daughter in the microwave.
The fact that people are even considered applicable for this sickens me.
