Religion and War

Religion or God is a weapon of war rather than a cause of war.

True, the conflict between Israel and Arabs started as a fight between secular Zionists and Arab Nationalists. The Hamas and Orthodox Jewish settlers came later.

Wow, you are so perceptive. Noone has ever said anything like that before, what made you write it?

Are you studying GCSE history?

Jo, there are plenty of atheists who religiously believe that God is a *cause* of war. I am just pointing out the error of this.

Only stupid ones. Greed is the cause of war.

Most wars are stupid. The invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan was stupid and nothing to do with God.

It was caused by the unquestioning support of Israel by the US and the UK.

Bin Laden himself said so.

"Your security is not in the hands of Kerry, Bush or Al Qaeda. Your security is in your own hands," bin Laden said, referring to the president and his Democratic opponent. "Any state that does not mess with our security, has naturally guaranteed its own security."

Admitting for the first time that he ordered the Sept. 11 attacks, bin Laden said he did so because of injustices against the Lebanese and Palestinians by Israel and the United States.

Only stupid people...not wars(wars being stupid is a given). Besides I would have thought you would support war, surely it's a swift culling of the less able in society, young people who couldn't get any other job. Civil war is something many of your ideas would invoke, suppression of women, ruthless treatment of the poor and needy, removing compassion, these are the consequences of public flogging, capital punishment and the like. If you inject cruelty in an otherwise moral nation what you will get is an uncomfortable line that many would find difficult to tread.

Revolution or war (foreign or civil) is inevitable if the nation is badly governed.

A revolution or a civil war is an act of national defecation or vomiting.

Not pretty, but necessary in the long run.

The Domestic Partnership

I am now formally declaring that I have given up on love in the romantic sense, but not on love in the platonic and more enduring sense. Applications for the vacancy of a Domestic Partner - a cross between a housemate, critical friend and business partner - are invited. Sex and fidelity are optional, ie neither compulsory nor prohibited. Each "transaction" is deemed to be a one-off so that both parties are kept on their toes. There would be no assumption that either party would be spending, for example, St Valentine's Day with each other as a matter of course. So few people like this idea that the person, male or female, who says to me "My word, this is just the sort of relationship I have been looking for all my life!" without a hint of irony or sarcasm, would probably be The One .

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...

Why white people are now an inferior race

We are what we are. We are what we believe and what we do - and that is infinitely changeable. This is a more constructive view of humanity than being what our skin says we are, according to the views of other people. White people are now an inferior race. Why are they an inferior race? Not because they are inherently inferior but they have allowed the feckless, promiscuous and unproductive of their number to breed in alarming numbers at the expense of white people who are productive and taxpaying. Five generations of white people have now been sexually reproduced in this way.  Five generations of the promiscuous, stupid, feckless and impecunious breeding and multiplying at taxpayers' expense with no politician in Parliament daring to criticise them. Family Allowances Act 1945 (when Child Benefit started) 2011 - 1945 = 66 One generation = 16 years 66 divided by 16 = 4.125 Say five generations of feckless fuckers. White people now have stupidity, promiscuity ...
