Well the Indians were pretty busy scalping one another before the white man came is all I am saying. Indians act like they were sitting around smoking the peace pipe and discussing philosophy and then the evil white man showed up and things went bad. I believe they had axes BEFORE whites came. But it's cool, blame everything on someone else, victim status carries a lot of water on this site, a lot of weeping liberals to support your cause.

And don't blame whites for their germs and viruses, they didn't even know what those were.



Hey but just let me say I am really really really sorry for something I didn't do, my ancestors didn't do, that happened 300 years before I was born. When I get that time machine working (it just sits in my garage unfinished now, I keep saying I will get around to it...) I will go back and tell the ass hole settlers to not be ass holes.

It's like original sin around here.

ggab7768,







I realize the Indians got a raw deal, but weren't a lot of Indians killed by OTHER Indians? And weren't some Indians pretty nasty in their treatment of whites they encountered?

Anyhow, it sucks the way Indians were treated, I would rather have seen them included, but what happened happened. I am not going to feel bad about something I didn't do.

I went to high school with a Native American kid and he didn't seem to resent America too much, especially as he had a brand new car and lived in a nice big house... casino profits. Casino Morongo.... and, yes, I have made a few "donations" to the local tribes.

The Declaration of Independence was not an event the benefited one group (whites) alone. It began a series of events that shaped a history that is still evolving, hopefully for the positive.

But most importantly the 4th of July is an excuse to drink before noon.

Jiten comes to a thread with "Islam" in the title and gets upset when you and I post. I figured the surprise would wear off. Kind of like playing peak-a-boo with a kitten I guess. He/She/it assumes we are about the same, simply "alarmists" (never mind our bitter disagreements about some detailed topics).

You are right we need MANY MANY MANY more articles like this....

thereligionofpeace.com

They post an article that has anything to do with a Muslim doing something wrong. Sometimes it is just a coincidence (a criminal who happened to be Muslim) but mostly it details the day to day madness of Islam.


BTW I posted a new blog entry on why Iran wants nuclear weapons, and the strategic threats...

Jiten,







You certainly lead the charge in bitching and moaning about myself and Fanusi. I would like you to show me where I have been overly alarmist, or been wrong about something? And for the record I constantly disagree with Fanusi.

As for this being "overplayed", you really don't seem to get it, do you. When the Iranians finally come into conflict with Israel and the US (which will happen by January 2009), they close the Strait of Hormuz, and the "end of days" rhetoric comes rolling out of Qom and Tehran you can tell us how we are all harping on a problem too much. Or maybe when Iran gets nuclear weapons, maybe then you will get it.

I think the Islam issue is the most pressing issue. Christians are annoying and fucking stupid, but they aren't lining up to kill Americans, Brits and other Europeans. This article right here is evidence of the pedantic and absurd nature of shariah and Islamic thought in general. It brings up a point, even if this article is completely fabricated, that has not been been dealt with, even remotely.

If you don't like what I have to say, or what Fanusi has to stay feel free to steer clear of these threads. I mean you see "Islam" in the title and then get all miffed when Fanusi and I comment. You would think the surprise might wear off.

I imagine it was pretty unbearable, which is exactly why I deplore such situations. But these bourgeuoise were theives and crooks, they were not making competition work, they were exploiting poor and ignorant people. That is why there are wage laws nowadays, to prevent such apalling practices.

The spread of Christianity is irrlevant. If you are trying to forward it as evidence for something, you should know better as it is a logical fallacy.

Like I said, take a look at Euro-policies and take a look at Chinese policies, and then American policies, you can guess who is building a more sustainable world order.

If you cannot see the coming crisis for America, then you are willfully blind.

Oh and let's not forget the "happiness" factor, Denmark is the happiest country in the world. And Denmark has the 3rd highest proportion of Atheists in the world. How about them apples?

I agree. It would be functionally racist and would enforce the very cultural divides that Muslims whine ENDLESSLY about. They claim exclusion is a partial cause of terrorism, yet they "demand" (oh yes he said it) exclusion.

Its aim is to make
British public, institutions and media aware of the needs and demands of the
Muslim community in the field of education and possible solutions.

Muslim scholars see the pursuit of knowledge as a duty, with the
Quran containing several verses to the rewards of learning.

Majority of them are
underachievers because they are at a wrong place at a wrong time

There is no place for a
non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school.

What could I do to get my citizenship in NZ, I am serious? Military service? I have the background for intel, I can shoot a gun pretty damn well. My mom is a citizen, but she had to take it by descent, because she was born in the US and moved there a little later.

Anyhow...



Rachel Holmes,


It seems to me that what drives progress is a healthy balance between cooperation and competition. And sometimes a mix of both... For instance a corporation could put three development teams on the same project and offer a bonus to whomever best solves the problem... or you can do it the socialist way... have the state own the corporation, it will be run by the President for Life's incompetent porn addicted nephew, and the whoever doesn't make the problem worse will be considered the victor and be given the very same ration of bread.

I am being slightly sarcastic, but the point is there can be cooperation and competition for excellence. There often can only be one winner.

Correct, but the Russians were COMPETING with the US for SUPREMACY. And the Chinese are competing as well, plus they are rapidly privatizing their economy and have been for some time. And you must remember also that the USSR didn't treat people equally they had to hand out special benefits to get people to work at certain goals. If they had treated people equally (meaning certain scientists and politicos not getting special perks) there would have been no Sputnik.

Quetz,


Like I said, it might have more to do with the fact that the schools are private and free from the monument to bureaucracy that is state education.

Each school that is private only has to worry about its student body, usually less than 1,000 students. However the state system has a hierarchy of bureaucrats who mummify the system with red tape. The public system is responsible for millions. I hope I don't excite the Marxist collectivists who lurk here, but independent actors tend to be more efficient. It has nothing to do with religion.

My point was the school was great, aside from all the Catholic stuff that made it worse. The point is "private" schools are often better simply because they don't have a massive bureacracy behind them. The faith element may be incidental to performance. And the person who made the school great was fired for "faith" reasons and this destroyed the school.


That was the point.

I went to a Catholic high school for 2 years because it was strong academically and had a strong soccer team. I had to take an "ethics" class (in which I was a thorn in the teacher's side), but other than that it was pretty straight forward..... oh yeah there was lots of drinking, drug use, and sex as well. The priest who ran the place so well turned out to be gay, the diocese ran him out of the school and the clergy and the school went to shit. So that was my Catholic school eexperience.

The Afghans always brag "our country has never remained occupied, we have expelled all invaders". This is true, largely because the invaders see there isn't one good reason to stick around, so they said "fuck 'em" and left.

Fanusi,



I hope the fanatacism can be broken the way Japanese fanatacism was. However I think one would be deluded to think that this would be similar. The Japanese could see their god defeated and surrender. The Muslims attribute victory to god and his favor, and they attribute defeat to god, as punishment for lack of piety... thus redoubling their efforts. So I think, when sloth-like fatalism is involved there is little hope in a "demostrable victory" doing much good, because it won't be perceived as such.

But I think the hope lies more in the slow modernization of certain societies (Lebanon, Tunisia, and hopefully several others). Notice that (as an aside) Tunisia is run by an autocrat who has simply willed his people into the 20th century, and this has been good for them. I hope that these countries become more of a model, but this will take repeated ass kickings of the other states with repeated success of the more secular states.
