Kolejny wpis z cyklu - inni też nie mają najlepiej. W Liverpoolu zabito kilka dni temu 19-latka. Czy u nas już funkcjonuje coś takiego jak "hate crime"?
It is becoming clearer each day that the motive behind the recent shooting in a Tennessee church was hate. At first the motive was unclear but it has now been reported that the man who shot and killed...
I wrote here some days ago about what I think and believe is the correct difference between secularization and "laicism". Well, looks like there are some people that do not make that difference and consider that it's OK to impose their morals on the citizens. five feet of fury. (performing fallaci-o.): "Additionally, a message posted to a popular Catholic internet forum has reportedly made its w
WorldNetDaily is reporting here that a Canadian priest is being investigated for a "hate crime" under a Canadian hate crime law that has been enacted in recent years.And what was his "hate crime"?The crime that this priest supposedly committed is that he taught that marriage is between one man and one woman and that he quoted form the Bible extensively during that teaching.Apparently now even bein
I was going to write about a few things today, but then this little ditty caught my attention, and even though I don't want to sound like I'm beating a dead horse, (Or a camel in this case!) as soon...
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THE OVERLY RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL OR STUPID!

Ministers Arthur Cunningham and Joseph Abraham were handing out Gospel leaflets in a Muslim area in the city of Birmingham, UK, when they were stopped by a passing Community Police Officer. He allegedly became aggressive and told the preachers to stop talking to local youth. The two preachers were accused of trying to convert Muslims and, because they were Americans, the community police officer r
This is an example of where the politically correct, socialist left will take America if we let them. A police community support officer ordered two Christian preachers to stop handing out gospel leaflets in a predominantly Muslim area of Birmingham.......>>
Our society is truly a melting pot of various people with different ideas, religions, cultures, races and many unique attributes that makes for a very dynamic society. Some believe that this very diversity is what makes the U.S. great, some believe the opposite. What is true is that this diversity creates many challenges [...]
The Southern Poverty Law Center has included Mass Resistance in its list of hate groups because of the organization's opposition to homosexuality, an opposition which is rooted in both Divine Revelation and Natural Law. This is ridiculous on so many different levels. What is particularly ironic, however, is that Mass Resistance doesn't even meet the SPLC's definition of a hate group: "All hate groups have beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics." (Source: ).And what is the definition of "immutable"? The word itself comes from the Latin: in - not and mutabilis - mutable. The American Heritage Dictionary provides us with an excellent definition: "Not subject or susceptible to change." But can one honestly suggest tha

We seem to be eating ourselves alive.
A WorldNetDaily article from March describes the concerns some US religious groups have over a particular piece of ‘hate crime’ legislation. The Bill in question this time around is H.R. 254. The concern is that the legislation “could be used to make criminals of those whose religious faith doesn’t endorse homosexuality” and that it essentially opens the door to a kind of thought policing.
While there is a strong strain of faith based persecution complex in the article– Christians are in no danger of being persecuted in this country but, in fact, typically do the persecuting– mostly I agree with them. This legislation is a bad idea. The bill in question, the David Ray Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007, is effectively an attempt to legislate against particular attitude, particular beliefs. That is really quite frightening.
This bill does not stand alone though.

The liberal tolerance of all religions with the exception of Christianity and Judaism has never been more apparent than it has today. It also appears more and more each day that an increasingly immoral society is moving beyond lack of tolerance and is starting to wage war against God in America in sadistic ways that were once unimaginable.On December 9, 2007, two separate shootings incidents took place in Christian institutions in Colorado.The first incident took place place at Youth with a Mission, where young people are trained to become Christian missionaries. Four people were rushed to area hospitals where two people died. Three of the four people have been confirmed as being staff members of YWAM.The suspect escaped and Peter Warren, the Director of Youth with a Mission Denver said the following regarding the shooter. "The young man – I don't know who he is; I don't think [the victims] knew him – but he must be going through a lot personally in his own life to do somethin

Apparently, Paris is.
Sigh.
I’m not all that keen about starting off the week on such a depressing note. After all, it’s Monday. And on Mondays, people need a little boost to get them going, they need a little pat on the back, a smile, perhaps an encouraging word or two that will add a slight kick to their step, Fred Astaire-like, and entice them to get lost in an optimistic montage of expectations that maybe the week won’t be as bad, that maybe Mondays can actually be enjoyable …
But no. I had to go and deliver some crappy news that will not only damper your Monday, but will most likely cast an ominous shadow across the country as a whole for weeks to come.
Case in point: Paris Hilton getting thrown back to the slammer was considered “breaking news” on every major news station as well as every major affiliate. Even the little scroll-thingy sliding every so discretely across the televisions informed you of the Paris situation, which was apparently so essential, that you we
In light of the post I wrote yesterday and the amount of responses and attention it garnered, I thought that today I would do a bit of a follow up post – not so much on Erin and her “fag bug” but on the crime committed against her itself. Or should I say, “hate crime.”
There were many people who commented yesterday (not below but on other sites) about the term “hate crime” and what it meant or what it claimed to mean.
I thought I’d take this opportunity to revisit this term and define it properly.
According to the dictionary, a hate crime can be defined as a “crime, usually violent, motivated by prejudice or intolerance toward a member of a gender, racial, religious or social group.”
What happened to Erin’s car was definitely a crime, as her car was vandalized. What made it a hate crime is the fact that there were homophobic slurs used. Had someone simply written “u suck” or “dumb ass” on the car, it would have been different. But the culprit, or cul
This past Saturday I attended a conference at a local College of Law exploring whether or not domestic violence should be prosecuted as a hate crime. Most of the attendees were law students and lawyers and only one other social-worker "type". I felt we were able to bring a different perspective to how they were looking at current laws in the state of Colorado and how to potentially word new bills. Coming from California, I had no idea about criminalized domestic violence. I learned about that working with some of my single-parent participants when I accompanied them to their civil and criminal cases as witnesses. They were witnesses against their ex-husbands and ex-boyfriends; they were not there on the prosecuting side because of our laws. A lot of discussion on this topic on Saturday revolved around how the criminalization caused more problems than it helped.The original intention was to make the penalties for domestic violence more stringent and to ensure that the perpetrators did
