BTW, if you go to the southern Asian countries...always be careful...the prettiest girl are usually not, girls.


Yeah....I was just thinking "I wonder when that gay guy in the background's gonna start singing over this woman"

Scary stuff.

*ban the Philippine dating people

That was incredible. They looked like a bunch of amateurs...

1. They should have assaulted from multiple angles
2. They should have distracted the gunman prior to gaining entry
3. They should have made entry *much* quicker and used surprise and VoA
4. They should learn how to use a sledgehammer properly (and not drop it inside!)
5. They should know you don't arm everyone on the team with full-sized M4s! Pistols and compact subguns are a much better option when storming very confined spaces (like buses, trains, aircraft, ships)
6. They need to improve their aim and practice throwing a lot more (on that note, why throw in a glowstick and not something like, I dunno, a flashbang?!)

That was such a poor display it would almost be funny if it was a training run. Unfortunately it wasn't and people lost their lives, which just makes it sad and frustrating.

Remind me never to go to the Philippines.

Durian is interesting, sweet mixed with onion. I had it a few times in the Philippines and was acquiring a taste for it. Philippine mangoes (like the one in the video) are awesome too, much better than the red and green skinned kind.

There's so much to like about this video. The tiara, the dancing, the subject matter, and the fact she chose a shopping mall to film this clip.

I love the way it comes together like a late 70s video but it's clearly in the mobile phone era given the posters behind her. It's like she's a time travelling songstress from 1970s Philippines.

Top work.

What Islam Isn't
By Dr. Peter Hammond
FrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, April 21, 2008
The following is adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat:

Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete system.

Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components.

Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called 'religious rights.'

When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to 'the reasonable' Muslim demands for their 'religious rights,' they also get the other components under the table. Here's how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).

As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

United States -- Muslim 1.0%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1%-2%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:

Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.

They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. ( United States ).

France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- Muslim 5%
Sweden -- Muslim 5%
Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad &Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris --car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats ( Amsterdam - Mohammed cartoons).

Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 10-15%

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:
Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%

At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:

Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%

From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:

Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%

After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:

Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace -- there's supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:

Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 99.9%

1. My parents met at a Communist Party meeting in the 1950s.
2. I have never before felt compelled to write one of these things to strangers, but my love of the Sift has been growing by the week.
3. I am passionate about uncomfortable comedy.
4. My mum once accidentally ran over my leg in the family car when I was little. When I rushed to show and tell at school, no one believed me.
5. One of my major life goals is to become practical with my hands. I think my generation missed out on life skills, and I’m determined to learn them.
6. I miss my daughter every single day.
7. Most of my sifts never make it.
8. I have lived in Oz (my home country), France and Vietnam. While I can speak fluent French, I never took to Vietnamese.
9. I have ridden a motorbike every day since I lived in Vietnam, but I’m planning on trading down to a pushbike for exercise, sustainability and safety reasons. I’ve never had a serious accident, but I think it’s only a matter of time.
10. I’ve had a blessed life, filled with opportunity.
11. I would quite fancy a career in politics at some point, but I’ve had too much fun with too many people to survive the moral hypocrisy blowtorch of modern political life.
12. Alice Cooper ate at a restaurant I worked in once. He had sausages with maple syrup.
13. I consider myself a pragmatist.
14. I cannot cope with liars. They confuse me.
15. I’m not into guns, but I would like to shoot a feral pig one day to see what it feels like.
16. My personal hero is Paul Keating.
17. I once held open the door to Parliament House for Gough Whitlam – he didn’t thank me.
18. I’m not scared of heights, but I am in my dreams.
19. My favourite place in the world is Stradbroke Island
20. I was passing through the Philippines during an attempted military coup in the 1980s. There were pre-teen kids my age carrying automatic guns.
21. I’m not into computer games, but I’m very competitive and get short term addictions to internet games. I’m currently into Blast Billiards
22. I regularly play lawn bowls
23. I would love to build a sustainable house one day, like those ‘Earth Ships’ designed by the Garbage Warrior.
24. I’m neither religious nor superstitious
25. This list took me my entire lunch time to write, and it's so long since this blog was posted few will ever read it.

Murder outside the law isn't justifiable. I tend to agree that pro-lifers who are willing to kill people who perform abortions are hypocrites of the highest order. The death penalty is completely different argument with ZERO moral equivalancy. The death penalty is a legal punishment reserved for persons who have violated the laws of society in such a gross manner that they are no longer worthy to continue to participate in it.


I'm curious why are pro-lifers trying to stop abortions? What the actually reason? Some people I've talked say that it is to protect the baby because life is sacred.

Yes, because life is sacred.... except when it isn't. It's great to able to choose when to apply one's morals - babies are cute and cuddly, while people on death row are much easier to rationalize.

So I'm curious: For pro-lifers, what exactly is your reason for saving a baby?


>> ^Winstonfield_Pennypacker:
Politically, I'm pro-choice. Personally, I'm pro-life. If you're pro-life then you need don't need guns to do your talking. You discuss the many options available to a person wanting the abortion. Show how choosing to let the child live is the morally, socially, and intellectually superior option. If you cannot convince the person otherwise, then they should be able to do as they wish and their ultimate judgement lies elsewhere.


Here here! It would be great if people on both sides would stop listening to the fringe radicals and join together to promote safe sex practices (yep, beyond abstinence) and alternatives to abortion.

Personally, I'm undecided on the issue. My limited pro-choice stance comes from a weighing of consequences on society. If you wish to look at a society burdened with completely illegal abortions, you can look at the Philippines.
