In our Columnist section today, Mike Adams writes about award-winning stupidity. Or at least these things could win awards if there were awards for such things. Well I mean besides the Emmys and the Oscars.
[…] But let’s not pick on college students exclusively. People who actually have college degrees have asked me some equally brilliant questions, like the following: “Why do you consider homosexuality to be abnormal simply because most people don’t do it?
Or how about this one: “Why do you talk about us trans-sexuals as if we are somehow different from other people?”
Perhaps my favorite is the following: “What makes you think that all illegal aliens have broken the law.”
On second thought, maybe it’s this one: “Can’t you understand that people who stereotype gays are always secretly gay themselves.” I’m glad that guy never makes sweeping generalizations. In fact, he’s always avoided generalizations! […]
Cinnamon Stillwell explains that racism is not limited to the U.S.—it’s rampant in Mexico and elsewhere in the world, and is even more complicated—and obvious—than you might think.
[…] Then there’s the factional attitude of various Latin Americans toward each other—often partly based on the color continuum. These prejudices have traveled along with their purveyors to the United States and are well known by those who rub shoulders with Latino workers. My stepfather and his brother work in construction, and over the years they have noticed the hostility between Mexicans and the mostly darker-skinned Hondurans. They often refuse to work together and must be segregated by job. Although hardly politically correct, this bigotry is overlooked because it’s perpetrated by one brown person against another. The truth is, racism transcends any one group, and when one looks beyond the white-vs.-black paradigm, discrimination is between degrees of brown. […]
Salim Mansur writes about the United Nations and its blatant corruption, and comes to the conclusion all sensible people should come to: Kofi Annan should pack up and leave.
[…] Claudia Rosett, of the Washington-based Foundation for the Defence of Democracies, has been singularly responsible over the past couple of years for meticulously researching and documenting the UN’s failure under Annan’s leadership.
In a recent essay she writes: “Scandals at the UN have proliferated to where they need cross-indexing simply to keep track of them, from incompetence to theft to bribery to money-laundering to rape—in (mix and match) New York, Geneva, Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq, and West Africa, to name just the short list of recent examples.”
It now seems clear why some Security Council members (China, France and Russia) were unwilling to support regime change in Iraq. They were beneficiaries of Saddam Hussein’s brazen manipulation of what became the Oil for Fraud program. More of this is waiting to be revealed in future reports of the IIC. The question Canadians need to ask is whether anyone in Ottawa is willing to demand accountability from Annan. […]
And in another twist on our weekend awards theme and just in time for the start of the student whining season, Anthony Oluwatoyin writes about student-loan-flunkies; students who whine incessantly about student debt, and the left-wing politicians who pander to them (hello liberals!).
It’s been the summer of the debt. Cancel African debt. Never mind the continent-crushing corruption that fuels the debt. Then. Cancel the debt of the entire Third World. Let it ride.
And now. Just when you thought reason would cool off fried-brain liberalism, here come the students. The bastion of nationalized unreason. The last gasp of good faith socialism. Cancel student loan debt: the last rallying cry of remorseless ignorance.
It hasn’t gone well. In April this year, former federal NDP leader but still MP, Alexa McDonough, failed to rally her colleagues to support her private member’s bill to allow students to file for bankruptcy a mere two years after finishing studies rather than having to wait for 10 years. She flunked out 169 to 105. […]
