posted by A_Young at 2003-05-18 16:21

A_Young: "This is a human security project to establish an independent and comprehensive public database of media-reported civilian deaths in Iraq resulting directly from military actions by the USA and its allies in 2003. Results and totals are continually updated .."
A_Young: I want a comparison of rate of civilian death under Hussein and rate under US rule
A_Young: (Note these figures are only deaths _reported_ in media)

Marijuana legal in Ontario
posted by crysflame at 2003-05-18 15:02

crysflame: <q> Justice Rogin agreed that the federal government had failed in its obligation to change the law to allow for medical use of marijuana, and so the entire law was void. This decision is binding on Ontario's lower courts, which means that no-one can be convicted of pot possession in Ontario. </q>
crysflame: the federal government has appealed, surprisingly enough.
A_Young: TOO COOL!

In Memory of the Sexually Mutilated Child
posted by A_Young at 2003-05-18 12:57

A_Young: Never ever condemn another society as barbaric if you are not totally opposed to this
A_Young: "It may well be that a society's greatest madness seems normal to itself"
A_Young: see also Kuro5hin -- Female Circumcision - Basic Information
A_Young: and ermm http://www.fgmnetwork.org/intro/fgmintro.html "Who can forget S. Freud who stated in one of his books entitled Sexuality and the Psychology of Love that the 'elimination of clitoral sexuality is a necessary precondition for the development of femininity.'"
A_Young: WARNING the above are gruesome
A_Young: So are the below
A_Young: Clitoridectomy: A Nineteenth Century Answer to Masturbation in fact mentions a number different of nineteenth century solutions to the problem of masturbation
A_Young: heh "In my opinion, neither the plague, nor war, nor smallpox, nor a crowd of similar evils have resulted more disastrously for humanity, then the habit of masturbation: it is the destroying element of civilized society."
A_Young: LOL http://www.circumstitions.com/Law-other.html#dogs-israel
A_Young: Of course, you know that I am only interested if there is a conspiracy involved
A_Young: Heh also brings in 9-11 ;)
A_Young: Only reason I bring the topic up is not cause I am on a crusade about circumcision, but just to point out how things that alarm us about other societies are seen as perfectly normal in another form in our own society

Bush, Cheney's asset reports released.
posted by crysflame at 2003-05-18 04:35

crysflame: >> On the annual forms filed with the Office of Government Ethics, the president reported assets of $8.8 million to $21.9 million. Cheney's assets were valued somewhere from $19.1 million to $86.4 million.
A_Young: I would like to see a comparison with Hussein's (pre the billion $$$ heist!) because all that CNN could report for about two weeks after Bush's invasion of Iraq was how Hussein's mansions had gold taps
A_Young: although I guess hussein had more than $22 mill, I guess Bush also has more than $22 mill

A_Young: Perhaps this is because they chose such an obvious stooge to put in place .. Ahmed Chalabi is backed by, and rumoured to be a member of the nefarious Project for the New American Century (I can't find a hard confirmation of this, but it is widely claimed in far left publications)
