The perception that the US favors Israel while allowing Palestinians’ aspirations to languish is used by Islamic militants to garner support and weakens public backing for US-allied regimes such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

Can any thinking human being explain to me how US favouritism for Israel is in anyway JUST a “perception”.

That Quebec doesn’t get “special” treatment?

When was the last time that ANY province in Canada appeared on the BBC because of it’s provincial elections…?

I imagine a Nazi or Stalanist candidate may get someone’s attention… but this is just a normal regular Provincial election…

this is just too much… it’s stomach turning…

Quebec heads for three-way poll

Canadians in the mainly French-speaking Quebec province are due to elect a new government in a tight three-way race.

The poll has again raised the prospect of independence from Canada, with the nationalist Parti Quebecois (PQ) vowing to hold a vote on the issue if elected.

let the fuckers declare independence, on Canadian terms… ie. minus the St. Lawrence Seaway, minus Federal infrastructure, minus military assets, minus the Arctic Sea coast beyond 10 miles and minus Churchill Falls…

let them go and fuck ‘em…

I can appreciate French culture, I love France and Paris… I can appreciate people standing up for themselves…

but I do not respect a culture of standing up for yourself at the expense of other people, and that’s what Quebec “separatists” want… they want their “fair share” plus more…

well, fuck ‘em…

It will hurt the rest of Canada, most definitely… and it may even lead to the rest of Canada devolving… but who cares… these pricks in Quebec politics need to be told to take a flying fuck…

my heart-felt sympathies go out to the Quebec people, because like the rest of us in western democracies, they have no say whatsoever in what these clowns are doing…

honestly people… move to New Brunswick, Nova Scotia or Manitoba… you may not think you’re the top of the heap there… and there will always be red neck ignorant butt fuckers around, but at least you won’t have yourselves being personally represented by those vultures…

I’ve long refused to write god as “God”…

the concept does not deserve the respect, besides the fact that capping the initial letter denotes a Personal name… and since god is imaginary, no cap…

well, after the last post I’ve further decided that anytime I refer to god after this post I will reduce the font size and cross it out…

religion and its varied atrocities and ignorance mongering doesn’t deserve respect, frankly it doesn’t deserve neutrality, it deserves contempt…

Nigeria teacher dies ‘over Koran’

Secondary school pupils in north-eastern Nigeria have killed a teacher after apparently accusing her of desecrating the Koran, police say.

The teacher, a Christian, was attacked after supervising an exam in Gombe city. It is not clear what she had done to anger the students.

Nigerian police say students beat the teacher to death outside the school compound after she had been invigilating an exam.

The students had apparently accused her of desecrating the Koran, though it is not clear exactly what she had done.

The amazing thing is that these fuckers think that they are vindicated by god himself… and their community will likely give them the full weight of their emotional and psychological support, even if they are convicted for murder…

that conviction will be considered immoral and probably pandering to Christian and Western pressure…

even if they spend 50 years in prison, when they walk out they will feel that THEY were the victims… and they will be supported…

religious community… isn’t that supposed to be one of the GREAT things about religion… the love and support?

nuh uh…

THIS is the evil, the sickness, the cancer that is Religion.

The New Testament makes direct remarks to homosexuality being a sin…

but does it really?

Here is the essential New Testament remark:

” Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”
1 Corinthians 6:9-10

About 99% of the New Testament, as we have it now, was written originally in Greek, the remnants being in Aramaic or Hebrew.

The greek word that gets translated as “homosexual” is malakos. Seen here:

“á¼¢ οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι ἄδικοι θεοῦ βασιλείαν οὐ κληρονομήσουσιν; μὴ πλανᾶσθε· οὔτε πόρνοι οὔτε εἰδωλολάτραι οὔτε μοιχοὶ οὔτε μαλακοὶ οὔτε ἀρσενοκοῖται.”

Malakos literally means “soft”. When Classical Greek uses malakos in regards to a man it implies him being effeminate; Malakos does NOT in anyway imply homosexuality.

The Greek and Roman world were very comfortable with homosexuality and homosexual acts. What modern society would define as a 100% straight heterosexual man could comfortably go off and have homosexual sex, it simply wasn’t anathema.

What Greek and Roman society did despise was weakness, which they exemplified as the soft whining puling squeamish cowardly effeminate male who, in the Classical world, could have been as straight as a yard stick.

Translators and theologians can claim all they want that the writer of 1 Corinthians meant “homosexual”, but its a spurious and disingenuous claim. A writer in the 1st Century AD, especially writing in Greek for an educated audience that conversed in Greek as the scholarly lingua franca, is going to use words of that cultural and period context. Malakos therefore meant weakness, not homosexuality.

Below I’ve included two examples within the New Testament of where malakos is correctly translated as “soft” or “fine”, apparently where they can’t get a jab in against queers.

“If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings’ palaces.”
Matthew 11:8

“ἀλλὰ τί ἐξήλθατε ἰδεῖν; ἄνθρωπον ἐν μαλακοῖς ἠμφιεσμένον; ἰδοὺ οἱ Ï„á½° μαλακὰ φοροῦντες ἐν τοῖς οἴκοις τῶν βασιλέων εἰσίν.”

“If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear expensive clothes and indulge in luxury are in palaces.”
Luke 7:25

“ἀλλὰ τί ἐξήλθατε ἰδεῖν; ἄνθρωπον ἐν μαλακοῖς ἱματίοις ἠμφιεσμένον; ἰδοὺ οἱ ἐν ἱματισμῶ ἐνδόξῳ καὶ τρυφῇ ὑπάρχοντες ἐν τοῖς βασιλείοις εἰσίν.”

frankly, I’m getting really sick of this stupid debate. People and gods really need to get their brains out of my pants and my bed, though I’m not gay.

I will say this though, if malakos IS rightly translated as homosexual, I’ll be in hell with you guys, cause I’m certainly sexually immoral… wee hoo!!… I’ve been a drinker… and I’ve done one or two more of those things on the list… I may apologize to any victim, but I for one will NEVER ask some glorified easter bunny for forgiveness for it… so hell bound I am…

I almost feel like going to a gay orgy some night taking it and giving it wherever and whenever just to flick my nose at these mind killing people that want to control everyone’s lives.

What more proof is necessary?

The US is a demagogy, plain and simple… all the bluster that makes us chuckle when we hear a Chavez or a Castro rant about “American Imperialist dogs” is none the less true…

America has it’s eyes on Empire.

and make no mistake, their imperialistic dreams will not be swerved by a change of political party in the White House, get that straight… in my opinion it will only increase behind a veil of false humanitarianism and hypocritical human rights defense…

only when US citizens understand that they have to rise up against their own government and change the system will anything change…

and what’s the chances of that happening from a people who consider a town with no Starbucks as being torturous…

they do not offer travel to Cuba…

they are, of course, a Microsoft company and are subject to US laws which forbids travel or trade with Cuba…

YET they use the .ca country domain code.

they should be forced to offer Cuban destinations by the Canadian Government or be forced to give up the .ca extension.
