Is C Street Winning?: Orders Given To Arrest Gays In Kenya

Posted on November 28, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Is C Street Winning?: Orders Given To Arrest Gays In Kenya

Prime Minister Raila Oldinga ordered a nationwide crackdown on gays in Kenya. He ordered police to arrest anyone engaging in homosexual behavior. Oldinga states, “We will not tolerate such behaviours in the country. The constitution is very clear on this issue and men or women found engaging in homosexuality will not be spared.” The anti-progress premier went on to say that, “Any man found engaging in sexual activities with another man should be arrested. Even women found engaging in sexual activities will be arrested.” In October, media sources began publishing pictures of gays in Uganda. The headlines read, “100 Pictures of Uganda’s Top Homos Leak.” Slapped next to the headline was a banner reading “Hang Them.” Sine those headlines ran, 4 Ugandans have been attacked while others fled in hiding. Today in Kenya at a public rally the Prime Minister recalled the ratio of men to women being equal population wise, then pondered why their people should engage in homosexual activity. C Street must be gleefully applauding this. Examiner.com: > C Street politics: The Christian mafia is advocating the death penalty for > homosexuals in Uganda.

The Rats Are All Scrambling – Arabs Fear Iran As Much As Israel

Posted on November 28, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on The Rats Are All Scrambling – Arabs Fear Iran As Much As Israel

The vast trove of diplomatic cables leaked on Sunday, US time, by the WikiLeaks website shows that US allies in Europe and the Middle East are pushing for tough action against the Iranian nuclear threat. The international community is already pressuring Iran to drop its attempt to refine uranium, but the leaked cables published on Sunday by world newspapers show that, behind the scenes, world leaders are fearful and pessimistic. From the first memos released, it was learnt that: Advertisement: Story continues below – Israel believes the US diplomatic outreach to Iran is doomed to failure and that time is running out before military action will need to be tabled if Tehran is not to get a nuclear bomb. -Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abd al-Aziz has “repeatedly” urged his US allies to take military action against Tehran's nuclear program and urged them to “cut off the head of the snake”. – French President Nicolas Sarkozy's top diplomatic adviser told senior US officials: “The current Iranian regime is effectively a fascist state and the time has come to decide on next steps.” Tehran insists that its nuclear program is peaceful, and has relied on Russia and China – which depends on Iranian oil shipments – to slow the tempo of diplomatic progress towards tougher sanctions.

Dear Nerd Girls: A Young Nerd Girl Needs Your Support

Posted on November 28, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Dear Nerd Girls: A Young Nerd Girl Needs Your Support

I tweeted about this last night, but it's important enough to me that I want to mention it here. It's about a young girl named Katie, whose mother happens to be a blogger for Chicago Now. Here's what her mother posted on Monday: At summer's end, Katie and I went to Target to pick out her backpack, lunchbox and water bottle for the new school year. After great deliberation, she chose a Star Wars water bottle to match her Star Wars backpack. ” Katie loves Star Wars, and she was very excited about her new items. For the first few months of school, she proudly filled her water bottle herself and helped me pack her lunch each morning. But a week ago, as we were packing her lunch, Katie said, “My Star Wars water bottle is too small. It doesn't hold enough water. Can I take a different one?” She searched through the cupboard until she found a pink water bottle and said, “I'll bring this.” I was perplexed. “Katie, that water bottle is no bigger than your Star Wars one. I think it is actually smaller.” “It's fine, I'll just take it,” she insisted. I kept pushing the issue, because it didn't make sense to me. Suddenly, Katie burst into tears. She wailed, “The first grade boys are teasing me at lunch because I have a Star Wars water bottle. They say it's only for boys. Every day they make fun of me for drinking out of it. I want them to stop, so I'll just bring a pink water bottle.” ” OH, HELL NO. Look, I'll poke fun at people who fill their rooms with merchandise or want to take a bullet for fictitious characters, but Katie here isn't obsessed, isn't insane — she just likes Star Wars. These little bastards have broken Nerd Commandment #3, which is to revere the nerd girl, and this aggression will not stand. added by: Darevalo

Throwing A Wrench Into The System

Posted on November 28, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Throwing A Wrench Into The System

The electoral process has been hijacked by corporations. The judiciary has been corrupted and bought. The press shuts out the most important voices in the country and feeds us the banal and the absurd. Universities prostitute themselves for corporate dollars. Labor unions are marginal and ineffectual forces. added by: joeeddy

Swiss voters ‘back expulsion of foreign criminals’

Posted on November 28, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Swiss voters ‘back expulsion of foreign criminals’

The Swiss get it. Unlike the rest of Europe. That's because it is a genuine democracy and not run by hardcore Marxist multiculturalists. Swiss voters have accepted a referendum proposal for the automatic expulsion of non-Swiss citizens for certain crimes, an exit poll suggests. Some 53% agreed that those convicted of crimes ranging from murder to benefit fraud should be deported, the poll for state broadcaster SF1 said. The Swiss People's Party, which drew up the measure, said immigrants “should respect the rules of this country”. But opponents said it was another example of increasing xenophobia. The right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP), was behind last year's referendum that imposed a ban on the building of Islamic minarets. That decision was condemned by human rights groups and foreign governments. The SVP says immigrants to Switzerland are disproportionately responsible for crime. It points to the fact that more than 60% of prison inmates do not have Swiss nationality. But opponents say the measures go too far. The children of immigrants do not automatically get Swiss citizenship, so the rule would mean sending some people who were born and brought up in Switzerland to countries they know nothing of. Convicts would serve their sentence in Switzerland first and then be deported without appeal. The Swiss government believes mandatory deportation could violate Switzerland's obligations under international law not to send people to countries that practise torture or execution. It advised voters to reject the proposal, and it put forward an alternative system which would allow deportation for certain crimes, but which would assess cases individually. The exit poll suggested that had been defeated. added by: crystalman

Researchers find a ‘liberal gene’

Posted on November 28, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Researchers find a ‘liberal gene’

Liberals may owe their political outlook partly to their genetic make-up, according to new research from the University of California, San Diego, and Harvard University. Ideology is affected not just by social factors, but also by a dopamine receptor gene called DRD4. The study's authors say this is the first research to identify a specific gene that predisposes people to certain political views. Appearing in the latest edition of The Journal of Politics published by Cambridge University Press, the research focused on 2,000 subjects from The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. By matching genetic information with maps of the subjects' social networks, the researchers were able to show that people with a specific variant of the DRD4 gene were more likely to be liberal as adults, but only if they had an active social life in adolescence. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter affecting brain processes that control movement, emotional response, and ability to experience pleasure and pain. Previous research has identified a connection between a variant of this gene and novelty-seeking behavior, and this behavior has previously been associated with personality traits related to political liberalism. Lead researcher James H. Fowler of UC San Diego and his colleagues hypothesized that people with the novelty-seeking gene variant would be more interested in learning about their friends' points of view. As a consequence, people with this genetic predisposition who have a greater-than-average number of friends would be exposed to a wider variety of social norms and lifestyles, which might make them more liberal than average. They reported that “it is the crucial interaction of two factors — the genetic predisposition and the environmental condition of having many friends in adolescence — that is associated with being more liberal.” The research team also showed that this held true independent of ethnicity, culture, sex or age. Fowler concludes that the social and institutional environment cannot entirely explain a person's political attitudes and beliefs and that the role of genes must be taken into account. “These findings suggest that political affiliation is not based solely on the kind of social environment people experience,” said Fowler, professor of political science and medical genetics at UC San Diego. “It is our hope that more scholars will begin to explore the potential interaction of biology and environment,” he said. “The way forward is to look for replication in different populations and age groups.” added by: Vierotchka
