A Few Things....

...to ponder...



Iran cares not for infidel crispy chicken and gravy:


The U.S. fast food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) has denied reports  it has opened a branch in Iran.

In a statement issued following an inquiry by the Persian Service of the BBC, KFC says that it will take legal action against individuals or companies that take advantage of the brand in Iran. The statement also says that that the company has no plans to open a restaurant in Iran.



Why is assimilation"bad"?


America is having a crisis of confidence. The left in this country has introduced the postmodern concept of subjective truth and morality into our culture, convincing many that American values are not superior — just different. This is, of course, untrue. American values and morals tower over the rest of the world. The ideas of personal autonomy and individual sovereignty make attacking homosexuals or people of different faiths abhorrent even to the most zealous Muslim American if they adopt our values. Children are protected from sexual predation here, not just because we have different standards, but because we’re a civilized society that recognizes how exploitative and dangerous it is for adults to have sexual relations with children. We don’t assault teachers, break into other people’s houses, or commit random mass murders because in America we understand these things are wrong, not just illegal.


Ugly cultures (or aspects thereof) largely disappeared because a group was forced to assimilate to a less counter-evolutionary and immoral way of life. Can one imagine living with the Spartans or Mayans? Now try imagine living in parts of the world where women are treated like cattle.



Good luck:


Coming off an incredibly successful weekend in San Francisco, CA and Washington, D.C., we are excited to announce that Secular Pro-Life will be sharing the pro-life, pro-woman, and pro-science message at the American Atheists convention on March 25-26!

Abortion is largely accepted even for reasons that do not have anything to do with the fetus' health. By showing that (1) both fetuses and newborns do not have the same moral status as actual persons, (2) the fact that both are potential persons is morally irrelevant and (3) adoption is not always in the best interest of actual people, the authors argue that what we call ‘after-birth abortion’ (killing a newborn) should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled.



There's that slippery slope.


Whenever some mental midget wishes to change the English language to serve his or her political purposes, resist. Man the decks against this verbal assault:



A citizens’ rights advocacy group, Culture Guard, has asked Education Minister George Abbott to ban words it says demean and incite hatred against students, parents and other stakeholders who oppose having the homosexual political agenda propagandized in schools.
 

The offensive words include “homophobia”, “homophobe”, “homophobic” and “heterosexist”.


“The words are just made-up propaganda words,” says Culture Guard president Kari Simpson. “They may sound pseudo-medical or pseudo-psychological, but they aren’t found in any recognized medical, psychological or psychiatric dictionaries.


“Their only purpose is propaganda: once the sex activists hang a hateful label on parents or others who don’t want children brainwashed in school, they can more easily persuade the public, the media, and politicians not to listen to fact-based arguments for protecting students from political propaganda.”


The more I hear how universities are now places of propagandists and bullies, the more I lament at what they used to be- places of learning:


The United States is no better than any other country, and in many areas worse than many. On the world stage, America is an imperialist country, and domestically it mistreats its minorities and neglects its poor, while discriminating against non-whites.

There is no better and no worse in literature and the arts. The reason universities in the past taught Shakespeare, Michelangelo, and Bach rather than, let us say, Guatemalan poets, Sri Lankan musicians, and Native American storytellers was “Eurocentrism.”


God is at best a non-issue, and at worst, a foolish and at worst, a foolish and dangerous belief.




 

Christianity is largely a history of inquisitions, crusades, oppression, and anti-intellectualism. Islam, on the other hand, is “a religion of peace.” Therefore, criticism of Christianity is enlightened, while criticism of Islam is Islamophobia.

Israel is a racist state, morally no different from apartheid South Africa.



Where are the "co-parents" when kids throw up on the floor or refuse to do their homework?


I wonder if this arrogance would persist after a lawsuit.

And now, the quickest way to love is through beef....
