That's pretty much what I've been saying. It's not the general populace being terrorists that allows for death sentences for blasphemy, it's a climate of relative religious conservatism that allows the more extreme elements to flourish. Without that the real nut jobs wouldn't have the environment necessary to become as extreme as they are. Your average American may not be a Born Again Evangelist, but they are more religious than, say, your average Swede, which allows for our more conservative outliers to be even more conservative than they would be there. So even if your average Pakistani is relatively moderate, they still help to produce the current religious climate, even unintentionally.

Don't even get me started on that, it makes me so angry.

I didn't even realise that. I don't like hate-crimes in any form. Thanks for the info bb.

I have to say that I think both sides are as guilty as each other. However, I am fully against the bombing of civilians and innocent children. The sad thing is we can't do much about it. I don't think they will listen even if western countries intervened.

Since we're on the subject I was going to post this anyway but forgot.

Frank Maloney sex change: Boxing legend now living as a woman - Mirror Online

This one is a bit of a surprise tbh. Not that people should act in a certain way just he always came across to me as a bit of a geezer. Recall him making homophobic comments a few years back too.

So the boxer now has a box.

Good for her for being so open and public about it, hopefully her transition goes well and will be a positive inspiration for some people.

Sadly homophobia and gender dysphoria are not exclusive from one another =(.

Hotel threatens guests over 'logging' craze no one even knew about (deliberately pooing in the pool) | Metro News

I don't know what to say.

I would never actually do that, but if I was laying down on one of those beach chairs by the side of the pool when it happened, I would laugh my ass off. Especially if anyone I knew was in the pool.

Oh, and while looking at that article I found this...

Nigel Willis: Man dies after getting vibrator stuck up his anus and waiting too long to get medical attention | Metro News

Wow, next time I think I'm going to avoid waiting for the batteries to die until I go to the doctor. It's probably in the best interest of the gerbil too.

Berkhamsted 'penis' map mocked on Facebook - BBC News

Every quote from the river trust guy in this article is gold.

Brilliant

This isn't a news article but I felt it was appropriate to post. I go on a website, Twitch.tv, which some of you know, where people record themselves playing videogames. Anyway I found a streamer who is quadriplegic who uses special computer equipment to play games with just his mouth. I felt kind of sad and inspired at the same time that someone with such a disability has such a positive attitude. I am sure there are tons of people like him who are equally inspiring but I have never had the opportunity to appreciate it until I watched his stream. He plays League of Legends, WoW, and Diablo III from what I have seen. It's pretty amazing what he can do with his special equipment.

Here is a link to his stream. Toss him a follow if you feel like showing him some support without having to spend money. It will help with his stream.

Good articles.

-WoW neglect 3 years. That is despicable. I play MMORPGs too and my room isn't even dirty.

-Man dies from vibrator. Shame vs your life. Wow what an awkward situation.

-Penis map. Has the balls, shaft, and even the urethra represented by a river. It doesn't get any better than that.

-Quadriplegic gamer. Right on, that's 21st Century technology at it's best there. It reminds me of the blind gamer who played Ocarina of Time. Not only is it an awesome feat of talent, but it gets me to view Zelda in a way I've would have never perceived otherwise.

Well at least nobody died. You know... at the time.

The funniest part of that is that anyone would describe Feasterville as a city.

Nice story.

Henry Rollins attacks Robin Williams's decision to take his own life | Music | theguardian.com

“when someone negates their existence, they cancel themselves out in my mind... I no longer take this person seriously.

“Almost 40,000 people a year kill themselves in America... In my opinion, that is 40,000 people who blew it."

Mr. Rollins can go **** himself.

Yeah, I read that too. I used to think he had some pretty interesting stuff to say, but that has got to be one of the ****tiest things I've ever read.

Regardless of your feelings on suicide, the guy had ****ing Parkinson's. That's no way to go out.

And all of a sudden I like Black Flag even less now.

Henry's always been a prick though.

Yeah, as someone who suffered through depression and extreme anxiety it really pissed me off seeing one of my heroes feel that way. I used to think Henry Rollings was pretty open minded, pretty damn intelligent, someone to look forward to being one day in terms of being a good person. Most of the people I've been closest too... so close that I could tell them anything... have attempted suicide at least once in their lives, and I would never, ever think less of them. I would be extremely upset, and heartbroken if one my friends committed suicide, but why on earth would I blame them, think less of them, demean them? I would want to remember all the good times we had, all the stupid fun things we did, being there for them when they needed it, making them feel better when they were down.

Depression can be pretty fucking serious, and it really fucks with your head. You start believing really fucked up things, and it's almost like you're stuck in a black hole not being able to escape. I've spent many days waking up, and going to bed looking at my pill bottles on my night stand wondering if today is the day I will down the whole thing and be able to finally escape.

I liked the bloke too. I paid to see him on several occasions. I thought he was intelligent, I thought he was amusing and entertaining, and I thought his taste in music was pretty decent too. Over the years there has been one or two bands I've first read about via Henry Rollins, and he's written about friends bands too so I'd say he has his ear to the ground for new music.

I can only presume that witnessing a friend shot in the head with a shotgun helps to account for his attitude towards suicide, which seems to stem from a very firm pro-life perspective. I do find myself very disappointed in his judgement of those who have taken their own lives though. He shows a total lack of empathy and the fact he has suffered himself just makes that harder for me to comprehend. I wonder, God forbid, if there isnt even a self-serving, congratulatory reasoning behind it. A pat on his own back, knowing he has been there himself and come through the otherside, armed with a disdain for those who werent so fortunate.

Whatever the reason, its pretty ****ing insulting to anyone who have had their own mental health struggles, ever considered suicide, or know people who have.

Pisses a lot of people off but she is right tbh, as she usually is.

She is both right and wrong. Her problem is her myopic perspective on the situation.
