For the briefest time, the press was forced to be interested in the sad fate of a Korean national gunned down by the Taliban. The interest has soon waned in favour of Lindsay Lohan as she is the pinnacle of Western civilisation right now. I'm not saying this to be cute. Apparently, she is. Why else would no one be disgusted by the murder of a Korean Christian by a heartless band of roving lunatics whose idea of a good time is to gun down teachers and students?
Maybe I just answered my own question.
Anyway, Korea should find its inner stones and increase its military presence in the area. Let the world know that they will not be shaken down by a pack of morons. That is, I believe, part of what is going on, just as a medical staff was recently freed from captivity in Libya. Canadian and American soldiers are doing their jobs in Afghanistan. The Taliban are losing men and material and cannot recruit children fast enough. That, and the whole idea that a Christian would give himself whole-heartedly to a cause not including death must sicken an illiterate murderer. Literacy and generosity must make the Taliban extremely self-conscious.
The time for pressure is now. This time, it is South Korea's turn to do the heavy lifting.

By the Power of Greyskull, Another Post!
Gross oversimplification, thy name is Psychological Science. A study has found that Americans' "rugged individualism" is a hindrance to understanding others, or at least the Chinese. There are too many problems with this. First of all, it neglects the complex nature of human beings and reduces them to black-and-white carbon copies of one another. Are all Americans rugged individualists? No, but to simplify things in the manner the preceding magazine did, I would suggest that America's strongest trait is its individualism. Without its individualism, half of the world would still be at war, or at odds with one another, or technologically and socially backward. So much for that blasted do-it-yourself attitude.
Can the Chinese national character- the one the article describes as "collectivist"- be fair and all-encompassing? There is nothing fair about the "collectivist" (read: imposed by dictators) character that restricts freedom of speech, as well as other things.
Does the study keep into account perspective and empathy? If I can only see one block, as opposed to two, am I being self-centred if I move the one obstructing my vision? What if someone had asked if the other person could see? What if they plain didn't understand what was asked of them?
Is this some sort of rallying cry for multiculturalism, that warm, fuzzy feeling one gets so that no one could ever accuse them of being racist even though they can't stand the smell of curry and wish those native-born "foreigners" wouldn't take the jobs the multiculturalists won't do?
My point is this study is tunnel-visioned, like some sort of nineteenth century throwback. What century is this, anyway?
This was said before, long before some idiots in Hollywood decided to make it trendy, and now it has materialised. Arabs move into Darfur after killing the native citizens. What a surprise. How much do you want to bet none of this will end and the press at large won't pick it up?
Speaking of the press unwilling to do its job, read this. Apparently, it doesn't have the sensationalist ring needed to sell papers.
al-Qaeda is now using polio to further cement their image as monsters. I thought they had overdone themselves before but they keep on trying.
Malaysian Muslims, fresh off of telling adults what religion they must have, now are calling for the ban of the movie, "Evan Almighty". I think I know why. Noah had a son named Ham. They hate HAM!
If you need further evidence that Gary Sinise rocks, go here.
I leave you with "Napoleon Dynabuns".

Not Just Any Post....
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I was too busy enjoying myself on holiday.
People who hate Christmas are bad. No, I'm not retracting that. People who try to disguise what is obviously one thing- in the case of Christmas, its Christian overtones- for something else aren't just bad but stupid. For example, Chu-Sok is the Korean thanksgiving holiday. Should it be banned or muted into some generic or- God forbid- American event just to please those who, for whatever reason, can't stand the season's true origins? I doubt many would stand for that. So, too, let it be for Christmas. If somebody doesn't like Christmas, just don't celebrate it. Is it that hard?
Nahoul the Giant Bee, a cousin to Farfour the Mickey Mouse clone (I'm not sure how that happened), is now gladly passing onto Palestinian suicide bombers and human shields- I mean- children- how jihad is their duty. And people complain about Christmas. This is yet another example of how the religion of peace smells. Before you make an excuse, stop, take a deep breath and sleep on it.
Why Canada shouldn't pull out of Afghanistan. The Taliban would sooner gun down girls and thereby destroy their own future than see someone who is moderately educated and perhaps better than them. Yes, we are doing good work there.
China tries its best to outdo Jim Jones with yet another poisoned product. Stop buying Chinese- it's really bad for you.
If you can stand watching this bloated windbag, do watch Michael Moore embarrass himself. I have no idea how anyone can buy into this twit's pile of excrement but they did before, they shouldn't after watching this. He never answers any questions but blindly accuses everyone around him of "not telling the truth". Like this guy should talk.
That's all for now.

Canada
I suppose I should fly the flag a little bit.
Stand on guard for the national anthem.
Also, stand on guard for this, too.
Some information on our national anthem.
Have you read "The Cremation of Sam McGee"? If not, do so here.
Superman's on our side.

Fat, Dumb White Guys
Or one fat, stupid white guy in particular.
Michael Moore's obsession with Canada- a country in which 60% of the citizens would fail their own citizenship test (apparently only six out of ten polled can recite the first two lines of "O Canada")- should actually be a national embarrassment. Not only are Canadians not up to his intellectual snuff (re: POLL, COMPLETE INABILITY TO PASS CITIZENSHIP TEST) but I personally doubt that Moore would give up his wealth and celebrity (or should that be notoriety?) by renouncing his American citizenship for Canadian citizenship which would entail higher taxes, longer waits for a GP and for various medical services, as well as in the emergency room (indeed, this report suggests that there is dissatisfaction of the current system. Strange.), no absolute right to property, a skewed electoral process and lower audience levels. Out of a country of over 31 million people, halve that significantly by those who cannot by his books or see his "movies", don't know who he is, or don't care, and those who don't like him. He can prove me wrong, but his record at proving anything is extremely poor.
Several cases in point:
The French are so far in the red, they can't actually pay for their own healthcare, despite what Moore claims in his new "movie", "Sicko".
Cuba is a Third-World dictatorship whose hospitals can be described as "filthy". There are no basic medicines. People die from conditions that would be treatable in the US and Canada (yes, Canada).
He's not working-class, nor is he from Flint, Michigan. What a pretender to the blue-collar throne.
The one "blue-collar job" he had he quit. This little lie is listed with the complete omissions of terrorist training camps, Saddam Hussein's dictatorial rule of Iraq and the Taliban in Afghanistan. Has he been under a rock that he does not know what's going on? A million-dollar rock in Manhattan, maybe.
Moore has no problem taking support from terrorists, such is his hatred for America, the only country that would allow him to be a big, fat, albeit rich, liar.
The healthcare system in Canada is not universal. Dental health and drug plans are covered separately. Various procedures and treatments are no covered at all. A family friend- a nurse who worked in the system was betrayed by the system. She had a kind of cancer that was not covered under our "universal" system. She has since passed on. To me, she embodies the failure of a system that was supposed to help her. In America, you don't get what you don't pay for. In Canada- at least for my friend- you don't get what you DO pay for. There is a good set of criticisms here. Better yet, just ask sick Canadians- or any Canadian who has been in a Canadian hospital- how satisfied they are. Moore never factored this in. Canada is the opposite of the US. It has to be, or wannabe socialist/uber-capitalist Moore could not function.
Charlton Heston in Bowling for Columbine seemed to change his neckties in under two seconds. His infamous (at least by Moore) speeches after the deaths at a high school in Columbine were the height of insensitivity- if they occurred, which they did not. There are several factual errors in that "movie", as well as others, but this one stands out for me.
In short, Michael Moore is incapable of exerting any intellectual effort into anything. It is easier to lie than it is to tell the truth, that being that Moore is despicable man whose hatred of the very system that allows him to do what he does and get away with it get in the way of very simple truths.

Maybe Darwin WAS Right
If you question where the missing links have gone, see below.
Four out of ten Koreans between the ages of twenty and forty can't give the correct date of the war that separated the well-fed and materialistic South from the starving and utterly brain-washed North. It's as though they became victims of Canada's history program. Their views on the Chinese and Soviet-backed invasion are dim, at least verbally.
These college students do not need the benefit of certain special interest groups. They've got the irresponsibility and selfishness thing down-pat.
This managing director is glad to shoot himself in the foot for Cannes-award winning actress, Jeon Do-Yeon. Good. She's like Helen Mirren, I think. She doesn't need to shill for anything like lesser actors and actresses do. That is a very un-Korean thing to do but it's all about substance, baby.
For people who still think Islam is a woman-friendly religion of peace and hugs need to view this. Here is lovely bit of misogyny:
People still whine about Saint Paul. He never went anywhere near this crap. In Islam, a woman, stupid, weak and yet wily though she is, is to go to her hsuband no matter what she is doing. In the middle of changing the baby? Tough. Get a move on, girl, before he whacks you with the frying pan.
What was said in the letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians:

The weakness with which women were created is the secret behind their attractiveness and appeal to their husbands. It is the source of women’s seduction of men, and one of the elements strengthening the bond between husband and wife. This is one of the wondrous miracles of Allah: The strength of a woman lies in her weakness. Her power of seduction and appeal lie in her emotions, which might overpower her mind at times. ...

What was said in the letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians:
22Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
25Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.[a] 28In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30because we are members of his body. 31"Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." 32This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.I don't recall reading in that the Koran, or from the loony Saudis, how, though a
wife must respect her husband, a man must lay down his life for her and his
family. It is likened to Christ laying down His life for the Church. O, the chivalry! Is this seen in the Islamic world? Is here, here, here, here or here? Maybe in Saudi Arabia where women must cover from head to toe and not drive cars. Wait. That doesn't sound right.The Taliban is on a mission, and that mission is to be the scum of the earth, as witnessed here.
Moving on....
But, but... I thought it was supposed to change everything. Gee, I guess it was all a gigantic waste of taxpayer's time (and money...and democracy...and common sense...and decency...and personal views...and pretty much everything).
I hardly have the space to type how completely stupid the world is at the moment. I'll just stop here. It's far too depressing to continue.

Authors of Our Own Destruction
If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.
The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions:
Address Before the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois
Cases in point:
Special-needs children were left to die in an Iraqi orphanage. Parallels to orphanages in Russia and Romani are drawn. The countdown to American blame is on.
The Satanic Verses author, Salman Rushdie, is awarded a knighthood and Pakistan threatens attacks. The level of dhimmitude that has gripped parts of western Europe and North America is so great that someone will likely placate these bearded fascists. Margaret Thatcher never placated the IRA and she was a real...
Moving on....
A rough creature slouches before Bethlehem. If the Palestinian Christians entertained any illusions that the same Muslims who blow themselves up and invaded the Church of the Nativity were their friends, they should no longer do so. It is also time they stopped running. Bethlehem is Jesus' land. People have run from Christ before and it's never ended well.
Similarly, Gaza Christians are warned to submit to Islam (which, I'm sure, some will liken to a spiritual quest). Submit to this.
I thought hogwans were supposed to make people smarter. Not Ban Ki-Moon, obviously. Global warming triggered the crisis in Darfur, not the Arab-backed Janjaweed.
The UN continues to be sickening.
North Korea fires another missile. South Korea does nothing as its end approaches.
North Korean lackies go bankrupt. Japan still wants a pound of flesh (well, so does everyone who has been invaded by Japan).
Korean presidential hopeful, Lee Myun-Bak, proves he is no better than any other craven capitalist out to make a won over North Korea. Kaesong is, in truth, an intended North Korean cash-cow, part owned by various South Korean companies. It is not as lucrative as some may have wanted it, however.
Now they've done it! No one messes with Christmas! Can we stop with the multi-cultural, feel-good sentiment now and tell the ingrates to go to hell?
The Vatican issues Ten Commandments for drivers. Who says the Church is never involved?

The Mid-Month Rant
For those who post comments here, thanks. I read them but I can't reply (lousy Blogger...).
Father's Day- like a barbecue...for your dad!
Someone is in a rush (or is a Russian, as the case may be) to give Kim Jong-Il his misgotten gains. I don't believe the closed nuclear plants will remain so for very long. Where is the incentive? North Korea has had 60 days to comply with demands to shut down their reactors and allow inspectors in. Nothing has been done. Back to square one.
Maybe someone should ask this moron where his Mohammed is. An Edward G. Robinson or Police Chief Wiggim voice would be good for effect.
Scum.
More scum.
Scratching-the-bottom-of-the-barrel scum.
In case we forgot that moral relativism as it pertains to the "wonderful" world of Islam was a complete pile of dingo kidneys, the preceding are very good reminders.
A pastor is nearly killed by raging mob for his beliefs in India. This is another thing we should be concerned with. One would think that India would be the complete opposite of its mortal enemy, Pakistan, even if for no reason other than to be contrary. India has a law against conversions, albeit impractical and rather discriminatory. Before conversions are decried as forced or unwelcome, think of it this way. Someone could ask another about his religion. Under the law, that person could be fined. The law also smacks of government interference in the lives of adults. Whose business is it if a man converts from this or that religion? Providing he is not coerced, why would anyone care? One would think that India would worry more about its air quality and maintaining its economic boom than the private lives of its citizens. The pastor in question was not like a certain religion one could mention. Let's not forget how a Christian spent her adult life looking after the poor the Indian government couldn't deal with.
Now for something completely different....
Liberals stealing money and covering it up? No! It can't be! They've never done that before!
Paris Hilton is still in jail. Angelina Jolie must take her self-righteous, self-important persona off the radar NOW.
I will close this with a shot to end all shots.

Lest We Forget

A New Month, A New Post
A new post for the month of Juuuuuuuuuuunnnnne.......
So many things happen in June.
Did you know that June 2nd is Festa della Repubblica in Italy. Remember- no one ever says Italy.
June 17th is Father's Day. I realise in this day and age when we should fight male oppression...or something....we should not celebrate UnWomyn's Day (or is is Dae...Dai...damn you, teachers, for teaching me how to spell!) but really, who is the man who opens jars for you, drives you to your friend's house (the one with the swimming pool) and teaches you how to make scrambled eggs? Are you trying to say that scrambled eggs are wrong? I don't want to live in a world without scrambled eggs and toast!
Here is a recipe for scrambled eggs and sausage.
June 19th is the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival. The excitement, the danger, the paddling! I don't know about you, but my money's on the green boat!
June 21st is the summer solstice, the start of barbecue season for people who don't like meat.
There are some birthdays and other things tucked in there but I think this wraps up the bulk of things going on in June.
Later.

Mid-Week Rant
What do you do when you're caught encouraging someone break the law as you have done many times before? Well, you sue, that's what you do. Planned Parenthood, the meddling and less-than-law-abiding corporation founded by a racist, classist enema freak, is planning on suing Lila Rose, editor of a student newspaper, for having the audacity to expose their plans to flout laws designed to report the sexual abuse of minors.
I don't want to hear arguments about "women's right to choose" and all that because that tired, old rhetoric doesn't even come close to fitting here. The moron Planned Parenthood hired to lie to women and minors was doing her part in keeping the corporation running, even if it meant saving the slimy skin of a sexual predator. All for money. Planned Parenthood is now bullying this girl (and has done so with others) into hiding their conspiracy, something they are not new to. This should disgust anyone, regardless of what side of the fence one is on about this.
If I were Lila Rose, I'd take out billboard space.
What a tidy, little group of fascists these lot are. Really, it's like one step above of accusing George Bush of "stealing" an election. It's called democracy and in a country with universal suffrage it's considered fair. Who is anyone to threaten anything because something doesn't go their way? Maybe the French have absolutely had it with these thugs and think Sarkozy might turn their country around socially, as well as economically. Democracy is one of the things that make Western civilisation work. Oil props up Islamic dictatorships. I guess those protesters are right- no blood for oil. Let's find oil elsewhere or another fuel source and screw the House of Saud.
Okay, I'll talk about something else.
Did you know that May 30th is not only the feast-day of Saint Joan of Arc but also National Potato Day in Peru? In the spirit of the day, enjoy some garlic smashed potatoes.
Do it for the children!
Good for her.
Dude, the ears.
Gidohapshida.
I don't want to hear arguments about "women's right to choose" and all that because that tired, old rhetoric doesn't even come close to fitting here. The moron Planned Parenthood hired to lie to women and minors was doing her part in keeping the corporation running, even if it meant saving the slimy skin of a sexual predator. All for money. Planned Parenthood is now bullying this girl (and has done so with others) into hiding their conspiracy, something they are not new to. This should disgust anyone, regardless of what side of the fence one is on about this.
If I were Lila Rose, I'd take out billboard space.
What a tidy, little group of fascists these lot are. Really, it's like one step above of accusing George Bush of "stealing" an election. It's called democracy and in a country with universal suffrage it's considered fair. Who is anyone to threaten anything because something doesn't go their way?

The Postman Always Rings Twice....
...before leaving your parcel with a neighbour.
Happy Mother's Day. Enjoy the ice cream cake before it melts.
Thousands in Italy protest a "marriage" bill. It may very well be a million but the press will never admit to a thing like that. I guess Italians know a stupid idea when they see it. Couples, if you want to live together, be grown up and GET MARRIED legally. And gays, you're not a race so stuff your racism fluff.
Members of the press hoping to re-live the glories of Abu Gharib and milk the nothingness of Guantanamo will be disappointed to hear this. That's right, the West has more humanity than roving bands of fanatics whose idea of a good time is shooting women and using children as human shields. Who said the Canadian mission in Afghanistan was bad?
Girls who cry foul whenever they are cut from the team aren't helping humanity in general. Just saying.
Michael Moore- lying sack of...whatever- is at his usual tricks with his new crockumentary, "Sicko". He is under fire from the U.S. Treasury Department for taking American citizens to be treated in one of Cuba's delapidated hospitals. Cuba has come to his defence, crying censorship. Cuba has the moral authority to speak about this because they have never arrested poilitical dissidents or arrested writers or anything. Anyway, Cuba's healthcare situation is far from ideal, as you can see here and here.
Fascist Mickey and the New Low. Wow, the "religion of peace" never fails to disappoint in this area, does it?
I am so tired of people coddling these butchers, misogynists and bigots. This is what they are like. There is no perversion and there certainly isn't an excuse. Read this about pork. I mean- how do they even come to such conclusions? They are mad.
I sure hope the Pope is right about this (ah, of course he is).
Let us end this post with some ferrets.

Why Run?
If we run, then we will be Spain.
Consider the losses during the First World War, the Second World War (particularly Vimy Ridge and Dieppe), the Korean War and now. As terrible as any loss of life may be, the losses incurred recently are nowhere near the losses of the past and we were then far from running.
If we can't afford lives, then we cannot afford surrender. The Afghanis will lose the most. By allowing terrorists to threaten us and alter our foreign policy, we put ourselves at risk, anyway. Our opinions and motions on the world stage will be meaningless. Canada will be nothing, less than air and a dhimmi. I suggest we draw the line in the sand and say it doesn't even begin, let alone end, here.
Let us remember who put us there.
Like it or not, we are there. Let's do some good while we're at it. Someone in the world depends on Canada. We can't afford to let them- nor ourselves- down.

End of the Month Randomness! Everything Must Go!
To wit-
Is this Iraq? Wow! What an oasis! It's too bad Saudi-funded terrorists (militia-men if you're Michael "I'm Too Sexy for My Fat" Moore) are killing its citizens. Arabs stand by Arabs, I guess- so they can kill them better.
Iraq is a war that is fought by the media, not by bombs or guns which studies indicate are supremely beneficial for such things. What I'm trying to say is: guns don't kill people; believers of an Arab pedophile do.
I'd like to apologise for using the word "sexy" in conjunction with "Michael Moore". Nothing about that opportunistic, lying slob is in any way appealing and I apologise without reservation (something Shinzo Abe can't do- hiyoooooo!). It will never happen again.
Speaking of sexy, this might be old news if you actually still watch the should-be-defunct TV series, ER, but Goran Visnjic is leaving. Why didn't he leave before they wrote his character into the ground? All those wasted seasons! He could have appeared on a TV series as a sexy lawyer working in a sexy law firm trying sexy cases.
Okay, I'll stop saying sexy.
But one thing I won't stop doing is rocking!
Speaking of that, a good friend had the grandest generosity to send me a Patty Griffin CD. If you haven't had your Patty Griffin fix, get it.
By request, a comment on the pet poisonings. I am not wholly familiar with the cases but reports have it that food made from contaminated grain from China sickened or killed family pets. China has apologised for something it claims it is not responsible for. What? This is too much! Like China hasn't done something to maim or otherwise screw with the rest of the world (SARS, Tibet, its own people, Falun Gong, North Korea). Why have anything to do with China at all?
Why hasn't this and this incurred the wrath of PETA? Oh yeah- special interest groups, lawsuits and all that. A rock, a hard place and completely screwed.
If you haven't bought a copy of Mark Steyn's America Alone, do so. I ordered it because I knew I wouldn't get it at Indigo's or Chapter's. Apparently, this best-seller is just not popular, which is why it is a best seller. Anyway, I started reading it and I'm already in the middle.
And now for a surprise.

Weekly Randomness
Yes, it's time for more weekly randomness.
The Estonian government plans to move a statue dedicated to Soviet war dead to a park outside of the capital Talinn. This quote from Polish think-tank crystalises, at least for me, the horrid victim culture Russia has immersed itself in order to never acknowledge and ultimately make amends for its many, many wrong-doings of the past:
Yes, Russia, the perennial victim. Pogroms, the gulags, the Ukrainian famine, the Katyn forest massacre, the Second World War, Dieppe (this poorly thought out and executed plan was brought on by the former Soviet Union's threats to make peace with the Germans), the Korean War, the Hungarian revolution, Prague Spring, the attempted assassination of John Paul II (it wasn't enough that they took over Poland; they had to squash its liberator, too), Alexander Litivenko, the recent protests against the authoritarian Putin. Yes, Russia is quite the victim- a victim of its own making. The West has put up with its denial and deflection even the Russian people and their erstwhile victims are tired of it.
Is the EU going to allow this and this from a prospective member? I should hope not.
Pope Benedict has revised the teaching on Limbo. Limbo was the place where unbaptised babies waited before going to Heaven. I've never felt it was a punishment but something that confirmed baptism as the thing that we needed for salvation. I never felt anyone was being punished but without that necessary step they could not advance until it was time. Just me.
Earth Day- crock or something that just happens to fall on my mum's birthday? YOU be the judge.
Mark Steyn is the hammer to society's nail.
Aw, damn.
And, finally, no one ever says Italy.

Spring in Korea
It has been spring for a while with some lovely results. See here.
My particular favourites are the magnolias.

What Else...?
Do we need any more reasons why North Korea and its backer, China, are evil?
There should be no quarter given to China or Russia, the very countries that have conspired to keep Korea separate since its liberation. Hold them responsible for allowing everything that has gone on up until this point. I'm sure the survivors of the North Korean regime will take care of Kim Il-Sung's fat progeny themselves (Satan has a good grasp of Il-Sung's love handles as we speak).
As for the South Koreans' morally lazy government, well... can one teach empathy?

No Freaking Kidding
The average Canadian family spends more on taxes for subpar services we lord over the Americans than anything else.
That's the land of socialist bliss for you.

I didn't want to post something here because I don't want to milk a hot story (because, really, that's all it is until there is another shooting or something to do with Anna Nicole Smith). I will make a few points.
Gun control wouldn't have stopped this, prevented this, or made it less of a tragedy. People who want to kill will find a way and not everyone who owns a gun is a psychopath.
Candlelight vigils don't ever help and are complete waste of wax.
South Korea, no one will look at you if you don't draw attention to yourselves. Stop being so self-conscious.
