  1. ...#human #rights. We're used to calling them #civil #rights but human rights go a little further, actually a lot further when you use the definition from the #United #Nations that the #United #States and everybody else has signed and doesn't do. That's how simple it is. People are the problem.

  2. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    Differences between nations, so long as they do not lead to hostility, are by no means to be deplored. Living for a time in a foreign country makes us aware of merits in which our own country is deficient, and this is true whichever country our own may be. The same thing holds of differences between different regions within one country, and of the differing types produced by different professions. Uniformity of character and uniformity of culture are to be regretted. Biological evolution has depended upon inborn differences between individuals or tribes, and cultural evolution depends upon acquired differences. When these disappear, there is no longer any material for selection. In the modern world, there is a real danger of too great similarity between one region and another in cultural respects. One of the best ways of minimising this evil is an increase in the autonomy of different groups.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Lecture (1949-01-23), “Control and Initiative: Their Respective Spheres,” Reith Lecture, “Authority and the Individual” No. 5, BBC Radio

  17. As for your agricultural production, we do not want to eat #Genetically #Modified #Organisms #GMO, so thanks but no thanks. No orange haired #mutants please. Neither #pesticides, thanks.

    We are also keen on " #Europe #First", or our #nations first, i.e. being #independant
    Because we are already great !

    A concept very difficult for you to understand , apparently

    This is just another pretext to harass your (best) friends

  18. #NSW #police have been actively recruiting chaps who enjoy stripping #children #naked when the chance arises.

    Lucky for the cops, most of the children they #sexually #assault are #First #Nations so no one will find out, or care very much based on our national racism quotient of above 64%.

    Situation normal for #Australian #police officers. And for those officers with #PTSD - boo fucking hoo. Bugger it's not life threatening.
