  • Take one people and take their homes away, take another and call them “the chosen people or Judea” and tell them they can take the homes of the other people.

    Now one group has been told by the “world” that this place is theirs because God said so.

    The other is literally kicked outta their homes and is told it’s their fault. Also they’re walled in and can’t leave… and then they’re told they’re gonna get fucked unless they leave… but they can’t leave…



  • For a 200 year old law, it’s pretty straight forward. And for all it’s flaws, the Nth revolution didn’t like the Catholic church for … reasons, so they wanted to make a law to get them out of politics and make them liable for their shenanigans. Thankfully they didn’t discriminate when they wrote the law.

    1. PROHIBITIONS AND LIMITS TO INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF “LAÏCITÉ”

     The principle of secularism means that the State and religious organisations are separate. There is therefore no state-run public worship. The State neither recognises, nor subsidises, nor salaries any form of worship. Exceptions and adjustments to the ban on funding are defined in the legislation and case-law; they concern in particular chaplaincies, which are paid for by the State1

     No religion can impose its prescriptions on the Republic. No religious principle can be invoked for disobeying the law.


  • We tend to forget he was the “Example” the authorities tried to make at the time.

    He was portrayed in court as “a man who could whistle nuclear codes” as the reason for preventing him from having access to the phone as he was entitled. They took his cans of tuna-fish away because too many people were providing him food assistance from outside the prison.

    I will remember Kevin as the “kid that coulda been me.” His persona and personality afterwards, well I try not to judge him too harshly, but I got “Do you know who I am”'d at least once while volunteering at a Con by him. He definitely enjoyed the limelight and played as many encores as the staff let him get away with.

    Never had a beer with him, but I’ll pour one out for him this year. RIP the last man to be able to whistle the nuclear codes.
