From an email by Norm : an illustration of the mockery being made of marriage (all emphasis mine): In regard to; House Joint Resolution 89, The Marriage Protection Amendment proposed by Congressman Broun.

Two young men went to the City Hall of San Francisco. “Good morning. We want to apply for a marriage license.” “Names?” “Tim and Jim Jones.”“Jones? Are you related? I see a resemblance.” “Yes, we’re brothers.”“Brothers? You can’t get married.” “Why not? Aren’t you giving marriage licenses to same-gender couples?” “Yes, thousands. But that’s incest!”“Incest

Photo: BiggerPictureImagesThere’s a group of people out there who get on my tits. Who? Eco-Yuppies, that’s who! You know the type, twenty something female living a ‘successful’ life, clad in designer jeans and top whilst waving a hemp shopping bag in one hand declaring that she’d never accept a plastic carrier from a shop, and a Gucci bag in the other. Or the twenty something ‘successful’ male who drives his gas guzzling SUV home from the office to his solar powered pad in a new development that's been built on what was once beautiful woodland. You know the types, I’m sure. “Hey!” they shout, “we’re trendy, we’re hip, and we’re GREEN!” No they are not! They are doing a few things that are easily incorporated into their existing lifestyles because b

Easter is an excellent day for mocking Christian beliefs, but I do not advocate mockery of all Christians. In fact, I'll go so far as to suggest that the majority of Christians should not be mocked at all. You see, I am convinced that the majority of Christians are what could be called "Christian in name only," for they do not actually believe core Christian doctrine. I save my mockery for those who do actually believe this nonsense, rejecting reason, science, and even common sense in pursuit of delusion.I realize that the claim that most so-called Christians do not believe the central dogma is controversial. It requires support, a task on which I and others in the atheist blogosphere are working (see Check Your Premises, The Secular Outpost, and Spread Rationality). In a nutshell, our arg

Congratulations to Phil for nailing this one: "The point really is that it's not the wisdom of the crowds, it's a gentle dictatorship of the chaperones" - which is slightly more pointed than the Chris Wilson/Slate article he cited. He only noted "the wisdom of the chaperones". He, in turn was referencing a multi-authored paper (PDF), "Power of the Few vs. Wisdom of the Crowd: Wikipedia and the Rise of the Bourgeoisie" by Ed Chi and colleagues. To be fair, Wikipedia's founder, Jimmy Wales, is supposed to have said it first; he is quoted as saying, "most of the work on Wikipedia is done by a small number of users" in 2004 [URL no longer active].Does this affect our view of a major Web resource? Should it?Possibly. Those of us who have been advocating its use have mostly based our arguments

Source: dailymail.co.uk Last year’s Strictly Come Dancing champion Mark Ramprakash has claimed judges have turned this year’s show into a ‘mockery’. The popular cricketer launched stinging attack over the failure to clamp down on rule-breaking in the show. He claimed that the judge’s failure to punish illegal moves by dancers was undermining the entire series. Ramprakash, 38, singled out colourful judge Bruno Tonioli for criticism claiming he had lost “credibility” over his antics in this year’s show. His anger comes after partners Kelly Brook and Brendan Cole carried out an illegal move on the show, but were not punished by judges. They put an extra lift into their American Smooth routine over a week ago, but still got full marks from Tonioli and high scores from the others. Then contestant Kenny Logan said he was going to break rules as well as he would not be punished. (more…)

I know Malaysia isn’t like some other countries, mostly unlike Western countries that allow complete freedom of speech. Malaysia is more of a reserved country, which some things were left unspoken, some things were left untouched and undiscussed. But this is my country. The country which I have been born in and grown up in. When I was still very young, back in primary school, we used to be fed statements like, ‘we are the only country in the world which has different races and ethnicity and yet live in harmony’. I believed that. I used to think that was all there was to that. I was only like 9 or 10. And I had never thought of other races than mine as something “different” than what I am. Honestly I’ve never thought of it that way at all. My parents, and family, too, had never fed my mind with things that could apparently draw a gap with other races than us. So I didn’t know that what I learnt in school, in fact, wasn’t all true. As I gre

I have just added another blog to the TPB Blogroll called Saudi Debate and I have already seen numerous fascinating articles there. This one below about the increased responsibility of Islamic religious leaders is a good example. ~RJH Saudi Debate article link Islam’s eccentric jurists risk global mockery with fatwas that cast Muslims into obscurityThe number of eccentric, strange and occasionally ludicrous fatwas issued by Islamic scholars sometimes appears to be on the increase. With each one, the image of Islam is damaged, the ability of Muslims to modernise their religious outlook is weakened, and the relevance of Islam in the daily lives of its adherents becomes less easy to identify. The scholars who issue such fatwas have a heavy responsibility, writes Shaker Nabulsi, and must now be confronted if Islam and Muslims are to prevent them from becoming the dominant voice in their religious lives. As he writes: "Muslims today must be careful not to make themselves the laughing

[Saturday, 12 May, 2007]I hurried with my work to cover up for the previous days’ lack of update. Yuqing approached me to do a survey for him. Finally I went off at 3am.I set my alarm at 6.15am but as usual, I lazed around and only until Mingfa called me, I came to conscious. My mum was lazy to make the half boiled eggs for me and she chose to do the milo with biscuit, which caused me to empty my stomach inside the toilet like usual.I managed to catch the bus as I dashed across the road and Junrong was inside. We met up with Jinyang soon and Kachua joined us. Mingen called me to order food even though he was driving and I had to take the bus in. while I was waiting for the carrot cake, I got to chat with Kunhan. I was surprised when Ying Ying came over to join us and I was very touched for it took a lot of courage to join me and a group of people whom she had not met before when she could actually go in with Jenrine.We took the bus to the Beach Car Park and went down to meet up with
