The significant divisions in today's world aren't between countries, religions, or even cultures, but between those everywhere who adhere to freedom of thought, speech, and behaviour that isn't harmful to others, and those who seek to dominate and control by attacking and denying those freedoms.<BR/><BR/>It's a tough battle to fight, when the lines aren't clearly drawn and the 'enemy' is always in our midst, but everyone who cherishes human dignity has to strive to the utmost to defeat totalitarianism of whatever hue.anticanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135207107619114891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580535460030164028.post-77838280231551063032007-09-01T12:30:00.000+00:002007-09-01T12:30:00.000+00:00"...poisonous views are less harmful when out in t..."...poisonous views are less harmful when out in the open and liable to vigorous contradiction than when they fester secretly underground."<BR/><BR/>"To all those who are so quick to take umbrage, I say 'TOO BAD!'"<BR/><BR/>"If we do not believe in freedom of speech for those we despise, we do not believe in freedom of speech."<BR/><BR/>Rock on, Anticant!<BR/><BR/>Glad to see that Thinking Blogger Bug is right at the top on your blog, <I>where it belongs!</I><BR/><BR/>(Although I think the silver version would have looked better with your color scheme.)Yankee Doodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359740268842861707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580535460030164028.post-28655790927473497022007-08-28T22:51:00.000+00:002007-08-28T22:51:00.000+00:00IN Other words, fundamentalists of ANY religion IN...IN Other words, fundamentalists of ANY religion INCLUDING science ARE the Jacks of the Human Pack AND on all-fours with Mississippi /soi-disant/ 'whites'!<BR/><BR/>GrandpaBodwyn Wookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152813177593209096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580535460030164028.post-51378263306938353512007-08-28T02:41:00.000+00:002007-08-28T02:41:00.000+00:00I Think it is not malice as much as an anxious sor...I Think it is not malice as much as an anxious sort of dull complaisance. Political correctitude, I mean. Bargaining, in a word. Wishful thinking, /eg/. Because, above all, we must keep them subventions rolling on down whilst we cope in vain with the swelling thronging gangs & relays of YOBs & bucketheads! Also, with the loss of a clear class-structure has come a loss of common politeness in public. Parents used to be deemed fit & able to raise their young in the main -- and they did in the main & once on a time! That is ALL that this is about -- how the professional classes frantically cover their historical record of failure, how they disenfranchised a biologically legitimate aristocracy, and how the trained grandchildren, to-day's liberals & all of that over-paid & non-productive gentry, now have screwed the social pooch thrice-over & queered the gummy pitch! As to freedom to say any God-damn fool thing that blows into your empty heads, of course you may tell me all day long about the various sociopaths & hotheads WHO DO incidentally infest my Islam, and I will not take umbrage. Islam is about hearing the truth, whatever it may be! And, /kindliness/ to the erroneous & deluded. But then, I ain't a c--t, I reckon. The religion helped /me/ with that same c--tsome truculence, so of course I positively cannot understand the boneheadedness of these fundamentalist pinheads. But under no circumstances must anyone /kiss/ that sort of unwiped arse -- it IS idol-worship & therefore /haram/, and thus, and in terms of the religion itself, tiptoeing around these buffoons is WRONG public policy. Let these unmentionable parts of sheep & pigs be held up to the public ridicule & scorn they so richly have earned, above all so that 'their' women finally will be empowered to leave such unworthy skunks -- and bring their beautiful islamic gifts of peace & devotion to men who actually will want & respect them, /amin/. <BR/><BR/>OBJECTIVELY Yours,<BR/><BR/>Wook 'abd al-HaqBodwyn Wookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152813177593209096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580535460030164028.post-29077336119636932432007-08-28T02:08:00.000+00:002007-08-28T02:08:00.000+00:00Richard has asked me to post the following observa...Richard has asked me to post the following observation of Noam Chomsky's:<BR/><BR/>"If we do not believe in freedom of speech for those we despise, we do not believe in freedom of speech."anticanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135207107619114891noreply@blogger.com
