Pox has a girlfriend!

The similarity looks pretty impressive actually (from the angle it's the picture's taken at least). It doesn't just look like some bearded figure if you squint your eyes. To me, the most likely explanation is that someone drew it there with their fingers. They only had to do this once, because once the water condenses again, the face should appear exactly where the smudge from the fingers was left.

That's not black and white, either. I'm sure there's a smooth transition. Most of them probably start off with honest intentions. When they begin to discover how much is in it for them, that's when the self-deception starts to grow. They'll rationalize and convince themselves that what they're doing is still for the better of their fellow human beings, even if it makes them, the clergy, rich in the process. This effect becomes diluted over time until you're just a cynical, indifferent manipulator. But not everyone ends up that far.

Look, this is a warning. I just want to get this out there while my mind is still clear.

So, today I got my H1N1 vaccination (apparently I'm in a risk group). WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE! After the shot, I've been feeling really strange. I've had several blackouts. They've usually lasted for about 5-10 minutes. I'm told that during these blackouts, I've been desperately looking for a voting booth, obsessed with voting for the Center Party. Reportedly, I refuse to stop doing this despite being repeatedly told that the next elections won't be till 2011.

The swine flu vaccination is used to control the minds of voters in order to cement all the current world leaders into power, all of whom have committed to what is known as the New World Order, a Reptilian takeover on December 21st, 2012. The reptilian aliens, our future overlords, created the swine flu AND its vaccine in order to control us; they made it just lethal enough to cause worldwide panic, but not potent enough to create catastrophic death tolls - they want to keep us alive as slave labor.

How do I know this? Well during the blackouts I mentioned, I've been privileged to see a sneak peak of the reptilians' minds. It was unintentional, I'm sure. It was intended as a one-way street to control my mind, but something went wrong and it backfired against them.

Also, the Holocaust. Never happened. It was just a plot by the Zionist reptiles to control the Holy City, which is where they intend to build their reptilian capital on the Mayan doomsday.

You see, God had to create us as sinners, so that we'd always be miserable and groveling, desperate for a savior, for a merciful father figure. If we weren't sinners, we wouldn't need God any more. We'd be free, independent, emancipated. God could no longer own our lives by offering non-existent handouts and pretending to help us. Sin is how God enslaves us.

Atheists don't believe in God. Sane people don't believe in God or ghosts. Not all atheists are sane people, but all sane people are atheists.

We are able to comprehend the existance of the Universe because it has a definite starting point (The Big Bang), but if there was in fact a being such as "God", don't you think it would simply be too complex for any human to understand?

Look, if it's true that we understand the Universe, then that's that. Problem solved. Why need God? We already know where everything came from.

And if we DON'T understand the Universe, then why explain it with God? We cannot understand God EITHER. Now we have TWO things we don't understand and we have no reason to assume the other even exists.

Either we understand the Universe or we don't; if we do, then we don't need God, and if we don't, then God doesn't explain anything anyway.

In order to assimilate into the new culture, they will have to unlearn ("deculturation") parts of their old enculutration, and learn new values ("Acculturation").

But this is never an easy process, and it's harder the bigger the difference between the cultures. And as said, ones enculturation more or less defines who you are. Unlearning that is unlearning your own definition. A soft landing should be arranged when possible.

That sounds plausible, but I see a potential for danger with this. If you encourage people to maintain and cherish certain cultural traits and habits, you also run the risk that you're discouraging them from integrating and learning the skills they need in the new society. Instead of being curious and seeking knowledge of the new culture, they'll seek refuge in their own state-subsidized minority culture, which can result in enclaves, ghettos and cultures within a culture, instead of a big melting pot of cultures. Besides the support, you also need an incentive to learn the rules of the new society.

Free market provides all the wiggle room and soft landing there's needed. If McDonald's refuses to hire a woman because of a hijab, then that's not only a stain in their image, but also a rather pointless move which doesn't help their business at all.

THere should be some leverage room, really. As I said, if I were to decide the dress code for a company, the guy in question here wouldn't have been fired (though he was an idiot for turing down a subsitute pin).

Your cultural background is not something you're forced to stick with. If your family, especially the men, pressure or bully you into wearing something you can't wear at work, then it's a problem between you and them, and you have every right to tell them go fuck themselves. It's certainly not the employer's problem. No matter where you come from, you can always change (or dilute) your religion and move from one culture to another.

I'm not suggesting that Muslim headscarves should be banned at workplaces, nor am I going as far as Geert Wilders who thinks that Muslim women should have to pay a special tax for the permission to wear a headscarf. I just think it should be left for the employer to decide. At the moment, I'm not too worried that Muslim women will be rejected from work because of their headscarves. Most companies want to have a "multicultural" image and are happy to hire these women. All I'm saying is that there should be no legal mandate for such policy.

There should be no legal difference. If you violate the dress code, then you violate the dress code, and the boss doesn't have to care whether you do it to avoid the wrath of the Flying Spaghetti Monster or to resist the temptation of the dark side of the Force. Having a religious belief is a purely individual choice in the first place, or at least it should be treated as such.

The vast majority of Muslim men don't wear any kind of headwear. There are also a lot of Muslim women (I can name at least two) who don't wear headscarves either. If they're Muslims and don't wear these clothes, then no one else can claim they have to wear them either.

If the employer wants to make a policy of permitting religious clothing, then that's entirely his choice. However, it's nonsense that he should be FORCED to this apply kind of policy by the law.

Islamic dress is a part of Islamic religion and the fact that it is makes it very different to wearing a button with an excerpt from the declaration of independence.

Whether or not he had a specific religious motivation to wear the button is irrelevant. If you have a dress code at work, then you abide by it, period. If your religion tells you to wear something at work that your boss doesn't like, then you need to change your job or change your religion.

Anyway, this wasn't about clothes, it was about decoration.

I would imagine that in a workplace, certain religious clothings would be even more disruptive and cumbersome than religious pins, buttons, jewelry etc., although religious clothing isn't necessarily making some sort of statement like in this case. Either way, if employers have the right to fire people for wearing religious decorations, they should also have the right to fire people for wearing religious clothing. If you have a dress code at work, it's only fair that it applies to everyone, and no religion should have any special privileges mandated by the law.

Do you realize what happened to Hitler? He committed a suicide in a bunker and left an entire nation in ruins and eternal guilt. You can't possibly suggest that he lived his life rationally or played his cards well. He saw the demise of his own tyranny and he's the perfect example of why his kind of behavior is not worth the trouble.

Furthermore, Hitler made several times the statement that he believed he was doing the work of God. He claimed that God had made Aryans the supreme race, so he had a religious motivation for his atrocities as well.

Yeah, you could look at it this way:

There are several reasons why I wouldn't do those things, even if there is no hell. I'll list them here in no particular order of importance.

The most obvious reason of course is that I don't want to go to prison, or be forced to offer any kind of compensations, or otherwise meet the consequences such actions. The simplest way to avoid capture is never to commit a crime in the first place.

Then there is the fact that I wouldn't want anyone to do these things to me. If I feel myself entitled to these acts, then I cannot blame anyone for claiming the right to do these things to me. To extend it a little, I wouldn't want to live in a society where stealing, murder and rape are acceptable. I wouldn't want anyone to do them to my future children, siblings, cousins, nephews or nieces either.

The simplest reason is perhaps that I find the thought of these things, especially rape and murder, to be repulsive. If I ever tried to do it, I wouldn't have the stomach to carry it out. This phenomenon is colloquially known as "conscience" and it has an evolutionary origin.

(unless I am captured by the cops but I will still have done things to make me happy)

So I take it that if there was no celestial dictator to watch over for all your actions and thoughts, raping, stealing and murdering would make you happy? If I ever committed rape or murder, or even a major theft, I would feel miserable for the rest of my life, even if I'm not caught.

Here's the thing:

- Americans need to start using the metric system like every other country on Earth.
- The British and Australians (and whoever else) need to start using the right side of the road like every other country on Earth.
