Paris Bans Praying in Public

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14945467

 

I'm an atheist & I think praying is stupid but people should be free to be stupid so long as it doesn't harm another

 

This is obvious targeted at Muslims but will the authorities also banish Catholics their rosary beads mutterings

Good News For the United States!

They beat Russia 13-6 at the Rugby World Cup :)

 

One note of criticism I will add is that US seemed bent on winning at all cost where Russia did seem to want to play with technique & flair

Interesting video on 'Left' Libertarianism

Interesting video on left libertarianism particularly for those who might not understand concepts such as libertarian-socialism

 

I'd add that left libertarianism is perfectly compantable with free market anarchism

I'm wonder what Gard might make of it as Chomsky does speak in favor of Adam Smith's Wealth of nations

EU Threatens Scottish Culture

Scotland is one place in the world where Coca-Cola is not the best selling soft drink.

 

But this might change thanks to EU meddling http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-14857275

 

The EU are threatening to meddle with Scottish culture & its not on

Is the rule of law a fallacy?

Pretty obvious to me that if government continuously breaks its own laws the consequence is the rule of law is a fallacy.

Recently there were riots in Britain & this had followed on from the phone hacking scandal involving the Murdoch Press & a little further back the scandal revolving around MP expenses. I kind of think for many at the bottom of society there probably is a strain of thought that if those who make the laws & those who police the law are corrupt & breaking the law, then hey f**k it lets riot.

How can there be a rule of law when its pretty obvious that large corporations can use their wealth to bend the law or damn right buy the law to their favour?

Has The US Govt Learnt From 9/11?

At 8:46 EST, on September the 11th, 2001: the world changed!

 

The question is has the US Federal Government learnt from 9/11?

 

I'd oped that if anything good was to come from the terrible events of that day, the US government would learn as what brought about 9/11, but I was foolish to do so.

The end is nigh for Gaddafi & the question is what next for Libya?

Something I Don’t Think Gard Appreciates About Britain

Recently Gard kind of made out that the reason many in Britain are racked by class divide is due to us all being indoctrinated by Marxism.

Of course being racked by class couldn't have anything to do with Britain having a a royal family & that though the power of the monarch might be not b as great as they once were, the monarch still wields power & privilege because they happened to of been born into the right family. Having an individual who's able to wield power over on the basis they just so happened to of been born into the right family, really sends out a message that if you're not born into the right family you're never going to be able to have a proper say in how you're governed.

Russell Means has inoperable throat cancer

American Indian activist Russell Means has inoperable throat cancer.  Means lost out to Ron Paul at the '87 LP convention.  He's going with the alternate medicine approach.  Let's hope he pulls through.
