Thought of the day - DADT

You know what I think, I think 'Don't Ask Don't tell' is a good thing, it's just that it's miss applied. I think instead of this being a military policy it should be one that applies to government. And instead of it being about being gay, it should be about religion. If you are outed as having imaginary friends and believing in fairy tails, you should be kicked out, but if you can successfully keep it a secret, and don't let it impact on your work in any way, go ahead believe what ever fanciful nonsense you like.

Thought of the day

A lifetime a child abused, or a lifetime of being enslaved, is like the distance between stars. All we can do is to recognise just how far outside our experience it is.

Thought of the day - It's all about where you stand

Look into the centre of the moon during a lunar eclipse. If someone was there looking at you, they would be a observing a solar eclipse.

Barely legal grade school girls

I have a friend, his girlfriend is 16, a friend of mine tried to tell me that was illegal, I went to check and turns out nope, 16's legal in WA, but while I was on the site, I discovered this.













Ok so homosexuals don't exist, that's fucked up but no surprises, but the minimum age for hetero sex is, 12? Fucking 12? I haven't done any research on this, it might be crap. The site http://www.avert.org/age-of-consent.htm# below is an international aids charity. They have this disclaimer.

So Italy's Age of Concent is 14, kinda fucked up but you know, whatever. But if you want to fuck yourself a primary school kid, aparently all you need to do is roll across the border to the holiest place on earth and your all set.

If you can see it there's a little orange dot kind of in the middle of this map of italy the roads around it making kind of a circle, that's basically Rome. That's where the pope lives. So not only are the church protecting people that have sex with children, aparently the police aren't even legally aloud to arrest them. Didn't the pope just recently apologise for this? Wouldn't a nice little token gesture to show they are taking this seriously be to actually make fucking kids against the law? I'm just saying.

Early success

Ok so when I first started this blog, I was determined not to just post whatever was going on with me at any given time. I wanted to put up stuff that I found interesting, so I could read it later and be interested or find ideas or whatever. Well something funny happened that is kind of relevent and since I haven't actually had a decent post in a while I'm going to write it.

So I had an idea for a regular blog that i was going to call "Credible vs Incredible" which I may still do. I got through a bulk of the research but never managed to finish the blog. It's still sitting in my unpublished file with about 3 other blog entries that I may or may not complete one day.

First I need to give you guys a little background information. Monday the first of March was the first day of uni, it was also the day of the Sound wave music festival. I had one lecture at 6 o'clock and I thought fuck it I'll get it on iLecture later. I went to the festival and I had a great time. That was until the first song of Faith No More when some complete asshole decides to sucker punch me for no obvious reason from behind. Broke my nose, chipped my teeth, kinda fucked up my jaw, I lost my nose ring and worst of all, I missed FNT, fucking asshole right!

So fuck it, it happened, we move onward. So my first day of uni is the next day, I have a big black eye, a busted nose I had kind of a shit sleep and I'm all fucked up on pain killers. I was kinda struggling, and more than a little self conscious. I was finding it difficult to pay attention and then totally by accident I ended up volunteering to do an oral presentation the next week. So fuck right. But as luck would have it, the topic for the presentation was news sources and values, which happened to be exactly the same topic as my "Credible vs Incredible" post. So yay, my research is done. I spent a day making a powerpoint presentation, I pad out the speech for a little while with some references to the text book and I think I've managed to pull off a fairly decent presentation. I do it and the tutor pulls me to the side at the end and tells me that she wants me to present it in the actual lecture. It was supposed to be this week but God had a little cry and decided to flood the school. So it was cancelled but my tutor came up to me the next day and said fuck it we'll just stick it at the begining of the next one when it's no longer relevent to the lecture topic.

So that's the story of how a half finished blog post and a broken nose ended up with a first year student getting his own segment in the lecture. I've got two weeks holidays now and then the lecture is on the next Monday. Once the lecture is up on the net, I'll cut out my bit and I'll put it up here and that'll be, you know, good.

Peace be with you muther fuckers.

The rise of Atheism

Hey hey! So I'm back from the imensely successful Global Atheist Convention in Melbourne, and I had an absolute blast, met up with a few good people, thoroughly enjoyed the event, the speakers were all first rate, even if I was only able to attend the final day (don't tell anyone but I snuck in to see PZ and AC on the Saturday. I would have been glad to pay but unfortunately tickets had sold out). While I was there I organised a couple of interviews with Youtube Atheist (am I the only one that hates that term?) NonStampCollector, New York Comedian Jamie Kilstein and an impromptue interview with legendary blogger, biologist and all round awesome guy, PZ Myers (whom I've since discovered prefers zee to zed). On top of this, I made a mistake with my flight booking and ended up staying in Melbourne a day longer than I expected, which gave me the opportunity to have a chat with one of the preachers at St Pauls Cathedral, Jim Brady (unfortunately not Phillip Freier).

Thought of the day - 2 good

If it sounds too good to be true, there will always be people that call you closed minded for having the gall to investigate the claim for yourself.
