This is a fault in human nature – our in-group bias.

I agree but I think there is a bigger picture to look at here. In-group bias evolved as a survival mechanism. Favoring those within one’s own group lead to more cohesive and cooperative units, enhancing group survival against external threats. It allowed us to protect our territory and r…[Read more]

I know a male dentist in Ireland who saw a patient from Saudi for a wisdom tooth extraction. After the procedure the patient left his sister in the waiting room and said he would be back in 30 minutes as he wanted to get his prescription from the pharmacy. He only left her “alone” as the other 2 patients and the receptionists were female. It tra…[Read more]

The British created the modern state of India out of a gaggle of minor local kingdoms with theirs. And the modern state of Germany wouldn’t have the national treasure of Schloss Neuschwannstein without the brutality of The Mad King Ludwig of Bavaria, either.

I suspect this is going to be the case but they are not in first place considering the latest news about the Catholic Church in Ireland which will lead to more revelations around the world over the next few years.

Remember this from our old friend?

I’m not sure there’s anything in Islam encouraging nice manners, unless nice manners include burying women vertically in the sands of an arena with only their heads above ground, and stoning them to death for imagined apostasy – often accused by their husbands so he can get rid of them and snag a new wife.

Do yourself a favour and read ‘A Thous…[Read more]

Apparently they don’t like apostates and atheists…

That means they don’t like 75% of the worlds population. That includes me so they can sit on this and swivel.

That is very true, especially when what they value most is ima…[Read more]

@simon. Attilla the Hun had some people who succeeded as a result of his brutality.

Genghis Khan unified all the Mongolian tribes with his brutality.

Alexander III of Macedonia was a fiendishly cruel man who introduced elephants to the art of war. No doubt a few people were happy with this.

I’m not going to mention the German guy.

Yes, to an atheist, Islam seems extreme, unbending and oppressive.  It’s also been hijacked by patriarchy.

At what time in its history was Islam not patriarchal?  If anyone would like to hear what women in Afghanistan think about it, you had better ask them very soon.

But I disagree with what a commenter said – that it’s incompatible with We…[Read more]

Well, at least we now might know where he got his brain worm from. And to think I ran close to it on a 5K run!

Strega gets her fingerprints sent to space forever and I could be spending my days on the look out for pic-a-nic baskets 🙂

In The Washington Post, Amanda Katz noted that Kennedy had terminated his presidential campaign and endorsed Trump, “ending a dilemma for voters torn between their love of deportation camps and their love of measles.”
