Ummm... WTF?

Am I the only one scared of this becoming more that it already is?

For those of you too lazy to click here's the first paragraph:

Quote:
 
Last week the United Nations’ Human Rights Council condemned “defamation” of religion, and called upon member states to ban literature and other materials containing “racist or xenophobic ideas” that might lead to hostility against religious groups – although Islam is the only religion mentioned in the resolution.

Racist like Huck Finn. :rolleyes:

This is pathetic, but I can see banning some extreme books from schools but not the general public.

Ah, yes. Let's ban any books that say anything negative about religion.

So, children, throw out your Biology textbooks, here's a pamphlet.

Sorry, Library of Congress, but all those reference materials on other cultures have to go. Have the Bible in triplicate instead.

Looks like we'll be tossing out a lot of books written by Buddhists, Yoga fans, and Ted Nugent.

If this passes, I suppose i'll just have to play pretend even more than I already do.

Next, they'll be sending their storm troopers around to make sure you're praying before each meal.......I love it how these little dipshit organizations feel it's their duty to say what the public should or shouldn't read, watch, do with their own free time.

I hate every religion and race on this planet. What do I get? A ban from life?

U.N needs to be bombed again it seems.
Wine in hand, in the other, Quran,
Both halal I do and haram,
In this incomplete world of a sham,
Neither Pagan I am, nor Musselman!


Omar Khayyam

Come, come, whoever you are,
Wanderer, idolater, worshipper of fire,
Come even though you have broken your vows a thousand times,
Come, and come yet again.
Ours is not a caravan of despair

You want the religious wingnuts to dig their own graves by telling us what to do with our free time?

Make masturbation illegal.

The White House will be on fire that EVENING.

Dubya would still be doing it, with both hands. When questioned, he would simply say: "I'm the president, which means I'm the most powerful fruitcake in the world. I live under my own set of rules. Now, someone hand me a tissue!!!"

Mark Twain wrote in the language of his time.

Words change.

Gay 1920's: Happy

Gay 1980's: Homosexual

Gay 2007: Lame

The particular word your refering to was used to describe people from "Nigeria" because most whites were too stupid to realize blacks came from more than just one country.

It only became racist recently.
The vast majority of schooling is spent teaching young minds what is heresy and not worth considering. The rest is spent scoffing at closed-minded individuals refusing to accept the new sciences of their time.

I've been told this before as regards US schools, but still can't quite believe it. So...is it REALLY true?

Blimey. That IS rather frightening. Still, the UN. It's something of a toothless tiger, no matter what certain militias in the US might claim. I would take anything it says with a pinch of salt as big as your head.

No, that word means black or negro in Latin. It was always a condescending word just that we started noticing its harm lately.
