Scott's Last Expedition at the Natural History Museum

http://www.nhm.ac.uk/visit-us/whats-on/temporary-exhibitions/scott-last-expedition/index.html

An ultimately dishonest exhibition with nothing mentioned about the long catalogue of bungling by Scott as compared to Amundsen's common sense and efficiency.

He


  1. was sentimental about eating the dogs in his typical English way when it was quite obvious that they were the best way of having self-transporting fresh meat,
  2. allowed the engineer (who was the only one who could have have fixed those fragile-looking polar exploration vehicles) to be prevented from joining that polar expedition by one of his team for reasons of rank, 
  3. set his base camp in just the wrong place to reach the South Pole because that was the best place for the scientific expedition (Mixed objectives meant a loss of focus on the main objective, which was that of getting there first and coming back alive.)
  4. lugged around 30lb of rock specimens etc etc etc

Why are the English celebrating the life of a bungler? Have they run out of heroes to celebrate? 

It would have been a better exhibition if it had compared Amundsen with Scott more and went into more detail about how Scott fucked up, instead of trying to big up the scientific success of it. 

Maybe the English are now so sad and demented they celebrate bunglers, thinking that would make them feel better. 

Why do they celebrate fools and knaves, especially failed fools and knaves?

Whose damn fool idea was this anyway?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/blog/2012/jan/20/scotts-last-expedition-natural-history-museum reveals that the Exhibition Curator, one Elin Simonssen, is female and is more interested in the DOMESTIC ARRANGEMENTS of Scott's Hut, rather than his mistakes, which I would have thought would be the most important lessons to be learnt from this sad story.   

If you like the idea of walking around what is a model of the hut, looking at the dinner table, looking at where they all slept, what they ate, the design of food containers, crockery, cutlery etc, then this exhibition is for you.   If you just want to know EXACTLY WHAT WENT WRONG, you will find this exhibition of Scott's Domestic Arrangements for Girls certainly NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE.   

Why the fuck do the feminazis have to girlify EVERYTHING when there are actually profound moral and logistical lessons to be learnt from this doomed expedition?   

Scott is English amateurism at its worst.  If the English had any pride at all they would be ashamed of Scott, and see his style of leadership - a toxic form of incompetence, stupidity, weakness, arrogance and sentimentality - as dangerously still very much alive and well in 21st century Britain.

Why would they choose to celebrate failure?  Because they are degenerate, demented and depraved, probably, or have allowed women to do their thinking for them.  After all, he was a handsome sort of chap, was he not?



Go, but go only if you are a girl or a girly sort of guy.  If you want to know what went wrong then you might just as well read the excellent Wikipedia entry at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_amundsen

My interpretation of that wife-beating verse 4:34

004.034 YUSUFALI: Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all). PICKTHAL: Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a wa

The 30 second rapist

http://www.australian-news.com.au/anti_male.htm "Perth resident Kevin Ibbs was having consensual sex with Christine Watson on the night of 29 November 1986. Watson, a close friend of Ibbs's wife, Katrina Carter, was living in the same house with Ibbs and Carter. The sex act was taking place with the full knowledge of Carter who was in the house at the time. As Ibbs was nearing ejaculation, Watson suddenly withdrew her consent to sex (so she later claimed) and tried to push Ibbs away. He continued for a short time. Too late, he was trapped. He was charged with sexual assault and found guilty under the new law. The judge found that Ibbs had continued sexual intercourse for about thirty seconds without consent (for which he was later dubbed the 30-second rapist). The judge sentenced him to four years imprisonment." http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/HCA/1987/46.html "Some years later Watson admitted to police that the whole incident was a set-up orchestrated b

Verse in Koran implicitly accepts the existence of brothels

024.033 YUSUFALI : Let those who find not the wherewithal for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allah gives them means out of His grace. And if any of your slaves ask for a deed in writing (to enable them to earn their freedom for a certain sum), give them such a deed if ye know any good in them: yea, give them something yourselves out of the means which Allah has given to you. But force not your maids to prostitution when they desire chastity, in order that ye may make a gain in the goods of this life. But if anyone compels them, yet, after such compulsion, is Allah, Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (to them), PICKTHAL : And let those who cannot find a match keep chaste till Allah give them independence by His grace. And such of your slaves as seek a writing (of emancipation), write it for them if ye are aware of aught of good in them, and bestow upon them of the wealth of Allah which He hath bestowed upon you. Force not your slave-girls to whoredom that ye
