Due to the male-female extremism common in society today, a doctor at birth determines if the baby is male or female.
Ambiguous genitals discovered during examination by the physician requires fixing it including forcing a boy with micropenis to be treated as a girl, and for a girl with pseudomicropenis-like clitoris to be treated as a boy IF she has no vagina (which does happen).
The truth is, due to the State falling for the either or fallacy about men and women, boy and girl, such sexual reassignments will be done with impunity, because children will refuse to address this once they become adults out of fear and embarassment about "being different" below the waist.
Truth be told, there are three genders.
Anything else enforced by the State through its health care actors is propaganda, and ultimately a lie which causes homophobes to get sexually excited over beating up gay people, and for teenagers to exercise control over sexually active teenaged girls by bullying them.
Indeed, there is probably an unconscious sexual component involved in bullying and related forms of violence, and possibly including mob violence.
Yes, I am saying normal human beings get turned on by violence against people who don't fit into their narrow categories of men and women, boy and girl, male and female.
As well, this male versus female dichotomy is an artifact of the post-modern era.

R.D. Laing and Psychosis (satire)
Laing's view on psychosis:
"Laing argued that the strange behavior and seemingly confused speech of people undergoing a psychotic episode were ultimately understandable as an attempt to communicate worries and concerns, often in situations where this was not possible or not permitted. Laing stressed the role of society, and particularly the family, in the development of madness. He argued that individuals can often be put in impossible situations, where they are unable to conform to the conflicting expectations of their peers, leading to a 'lose-lose situation' and immense mental distress for the individuals concerned. Madness was therefore an expression of this distress, and should be valued as a cathartic and transformative experience."
Fear arises and evolves into anxiety regarding a threat against the psychotic. Often psychosis begins with fears, leading to anxiety which then leads to insomnia that morphs into hypomania. When insomnia leads to mania, that often occurs due to inadequate rest, both of the body and of the mind.
Indeed, it is anxiety and possible repressed anger that precipitates insomnia which might escalate into hypomania and evolve further into psychosis. However, this is not always the case since the experienced mental health consumer learns the importance of sleep hygiene.
My counter argument to Laing is that psychosis is a resolution of the classic double-bind in a manner that is sometimes incomprehensible to society, due to conflicting desires and expectations on each of us.
In most cases, psychosis is non-violent and harmless.
Rather, it is the ignorance and fear of all involved parties including the mental health consumers and her concerned family members, friends and lovers which contributes to any co-morbidity of violence, be it harm to others or self-harm.
When psychotics do habituate towards violence due to what is dismissed as abnormal fear, that violence has been learned either from within the family environment originally or due to social interactions with the public and privately with care workers. Once learned, violence may become a co-morbid behavior associated with the psychiatric disorder of which psychosis is a symptom.
Thus it is imperative that an anxiolytic agent or physical action occurs to relive the anxiety so that any remaining fear motivates the mental health consumer in a positive and non-violent manner. This may consist of a tranquilizer or a non-violent action that relieves the anxiety.
Then the "best cure" for the psychotic is self-talk that counteracts negative self-talk, i.e. positive affirmations which calm her down, and thus removing the fear and the anxiety that it sometimes causes.
If a concerned family member or friend truly wishes to help a psychotic, then it is best to either believe in her even when her confused state of mind gives reason to fear for her grasp on reality, and to graciously remove oneself from the situation when one feels threatened.
In order to have rapport with the psychotic it is best to calmly facilitate positive non-violent confrontation, even to the point of supporting their belief in their limited world-view as delusion, with the intent of gaining compliance.
Direct confrontation with the psychotic is not often recommended since the subsequent anxiety due to negative adaptation during the resolution of the double-bind will only lead to reinforcement of the very delusion the care-giver is trying to "cure." Indeed, it is not helpful to cure the delusion of the mental health consumer while maintaining her psychosis.
Indeed, the wise care-giver should never patronize or belittle the psychotic lest it threaten their limited worldview. Instead, it is best to wait out the psychosis after treating it with a sedative when calm, non-threatening discussion with the mental health consumer fail to resolve the crisis.
Time is a better medication for most acute displays of psychosis which have little or no violent aspects.
In the case of serious (chronic) psychosis, it may be necessary to commit the psychotic to a psychiatric ward and for the use of the appropriate medication (usually atypical anti-psychotics such as seroquel or Abilify.
However, sedation resulting from anti-psychotic use may result in weight gain and its associated effect on the cardiovascular system.
Consequently, a weight-maintenance program may be useful as directed by a medical professional.
When the mental health consumer has stabilized mentally, it is necessary to provide mental health education including the use of coping strategies which relieve anxiety due to stress. Mental health professionals who omit such education by psychologists and psychotherapists merely set the stage for possible future relapse.
Indeed, psychiatric professionals and their support staff are still required to provide the minimum of self-care training of patients in their care. While sedatives might reduce symptoms of the mental health consumer, medication itself is not therapy.
In my opinion, on-line self therapy usually consists of a careful research and practice of coping strategies to reduce the impact that stress has upon the consumer.
Regarding the discussion of medication by my fellow mental health consumers, only the experienced consumer supplies correct information regarding psychotropic drugs. When a consumer's reaction to a drug appears to be clouded by their feelings about it, I usually consider it anecdotal and a possible emotional reaction rather than a physiological one.
Due to the density of emotional reaction to a particular medication, it is impossible to determine the physiological response to the drug. Therefore I tend not to value anecdotes on how the drug makes the consumer feel. Rather, it becomes more interesting to sift through the consumer anecdotes to find the rare anecdote that displays the physiological response.
I suppose this is why I would rather read the abstract about a medical trial than read discussion of medications on a mental health consumers forum. My impression of such candid on-line discussions is that most psychotropic drugs make people with a mental illness feel like crap because their mental health is compromised by seeing the glass half-empty.
Since they expect medication to dull their senses and otherwise impair their positive appreciation of life, it is no wonder that their impression of medication paints a negative picture of psychotropic medication.
Even so, I am touched by the emotional responses to medication because most mental health consumers would rather be treated as human beings. That is why the medications make them feel like crap: not one medication offers psychotherapy.
In the case of the psychotic mental health consumer, their mental health crisis requires treatment lest their psychoses threaten their safety or the safety of other people, both patients and care-givers.
I merely question the over-prescription of medication and especially the idea that a mental illness requires the long-term use of medications.
Thus it makes better sense to accept the psychotic's delusion as real until the psychotic explains her reason for creating it to not deal with the world realistically. Until then, it makes no sense to sedate the psychotic since most psychoses are harmless and resolve themselves on their own over time.
While I am not suggesting that Seroquel and Abilify are useless, I am adamant that the rights of mental health consumers be protected by informed consent when not psychotic, while obligations by mental health professionals be honored by providing psychotics with fast-acting sedatives which are not habit-forming.
Even if such a drug protocol meant the use of sedatives such as mirtazapine, then the doctor should not reject them because they are reserved for depression. Instead, the drugs used should be based on the criteria of least harm to the consumer.
As for therapy, the risk of burnout from stress has put off most psychology students from deciding to become psychotherapists. I am sure that a part of the reasoning behind this aversion to become a psychotherapist might have to do with the fear of people with mental illness and associate stigma associated with mental illness. It is rare that a psychology graduate is able to empathize with a psychiatric patient because he is apparently more mentally healthy than the patient.
However, on the average, there is actually no difference between a psychology graduate and the patient, except in degree of mental health. A dedicated psychotherapist is in service of the client seeking therapy. Any professional relationship between the client and the therapist is threatened by any overt superiority by either of them.
Thus there is need to emphasize that throughout the post-secondary education of a psychotherapist, the therapist is not the master of the client. Rather, the professional relationship between them implies equality. Without such humility, neither the patient not the therapist will benefit greatly from their relationship.
With regard to R.D. Laing and psychosis, it is important to emphasize that professional service by therapists and psychiatrists to all their patients requires that their clients understand the importance of the professional relationship that underlies therapy. This in no way is a personal relationship.
While the client may think she is under no obligation to behave professionally with her therapist or psychiatrist, it might be useful to consider this: would she think it is appropriate to expect her butcher to be at her beck and call?
Thus, it is important for mental health consumers to understand that the client is obliged to treat the therapist or psychiatrist with the respect she reserved for her favorite teacher in school, be it public or post-secondary.
I myself am thankful to my psychotherapist who provided me with welcome advice when he told me that I would never report to the Emergency ward of the local hospital if I was undergoing a psychosis. I take this to be advice that my mental health is determined by appropriate sleep hygiene and its positive effect of reducing insomnia.
To conclude this blog post I present a quote from psychiatrist Adolf Meyer to temper our reliance on medication to treat mental illness:
"Those who imagine that all psychiatry and psychopathology and therapy have to resolve themselves into a smattering of claims and hypotheses of psychoanalysis and that they stand or fall with one's feelings about psychoanalysis, are equally misguided".

No one's Hands are Clean in the Middle East (satire)
State terrorism in Israel is the mother of Islamic terrorism. America supports the terrorism Israel perpetrates on Palestinians.
Ergo salafi terrorism is justifiable in the eyes of al Qaeda but not in the eyes of the West.
However Muslim terrorists, IDF and America are guilty of war crimes and facilitate terrorism.
Evidence: America supports Chechen freedom fighters. The US also supports Israel providing arms and financial aid. America does so to avoid being labelled anti-Semitic.
Israel has terrorized Palestinians since before 1948. Sharon is guilty of war crimes. For every Israeli killed by Palestinian militants Israel kills 100+. Therefore the state of Israel has been terrorizing Palestinians for over 65 years. Even the forced removal of Bedouin people is state terrorism.
As well, America condones covert racism. The Indian Wars were ethnic cleansing and genocide. Today the oppression of Hispanic illegal aliens is racist.
The oppression of poor people in North Carolina is class warfare by its elites. Its blacks in the prison population are survivors of endemic racism.
Yet without American aid Israel would be unable to terrorize Muslims living within its borders.
For the only purpose of American support of Israel is to ensure that its Muslim neighbor Iraq remains host to al Qaeda which was once a valuable CIA asset. Now the jihadis are the valuable assets of the gulf states specifically Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
As well, it is most likely that Bahrain's Arab Spring failed due to Saudi aid since the ruling party is run by Saudis.
Ergo Saudi Arabia may also facilitate and possibly support terrorism in the Middle East along with Russia and China.
However, the problem began when Great Britain and French facilitated Zionist terrorism against Palestinian Arabs before Israel's founding in 1949.
No one's hands are clean in the Middle East because it's all about the money.

Dec. 6 Day of Action and Awareness Against Violence Against Women and Children (satire)
Dec. 6 is also a day when a victim of violence ended not only the life of 14 bright women but also his own life.
This victim's name is reviled yet must be remembered, too.
We know him as Marc Lepine today, but originally he was born to an Algerian immigrant, Rachid Liass Gharbi, possibly of Berber origin, and Canadian Monique Lepine as Gamil Rodrigue Gharbi.
While married to Gharbi, Ms Lepine was subject to violence at his hands, as was Gamil. This was due to financial difficulties following a stock market crash after 1968.
Rachid Gharbi's contempt for women originated in his belief that they were only intended to serve men. This was due to his cultural origins, and may have been influenced by historical Islamic oppression of the region.
Verbally and physically abusive to his wife and children, Rachid once beat his son so hard that marks on Gamil's were visible a week later. He strongly discouraged tenderness between mother and child, considering it spoiling.
At age 7, Gamil's parents separated. During the separation of his parents, the family spent a year (1975) in family psychotherapy due to difficulties expressing and receiving love and affection in a vain attempt to recover from it. A year later in 1976 they divorced. Afterwards they saw little of Rachid Gharbi, who later moved abroad, possibly moving back to Algeria or to Costa Rica and Puerto Rico, where he originally had worked successfully as a mutual fund salesman.
I mention Gamil's history because it is the history of a victim of child abuse. It is also the history of sibling rivalry, for he had a younger sister who used to tease him because of teenaged acne.
Yes, Gamil is a victim just as much as each one of the forteen women who died needlessly. However, the revisionism about him by feminists only demonizes him, while glorifying the women as martyrs.
Thus is it not a day of remembrance and action on domestic abuse and family violence that December 6 also be remembered for? After all, Gamil was verbally and physically abused as a child by his father.
December 6 should also be know as a day to take action and promote awareness of domestic and family violence which is directly related to violence against women.
However, let me add that the tragedy of Gamil Rodrigue Gharbi's death is not that it ended with such a high body count, but that his sister committed suicide after descending into drug addiction, most likely due to child abuse she too suffered at the hands of her father, Rachid. Likewise, at least one of the men who survived December 6, 1989 committed suicide because he could no longer handle the guilt at failing
People who celebrate women's victim-hood on December 6 may be the kind of people who will obey what the gunman says when he pops into their lives unexpectedly.
To that, I ask "Can you bear the cost of more lives lost because you left the room just because a gunman is brandishing a gun?"
Every time I hear of people dying because everyone obeyed the gunman, it confirms that men are more caring and compassionate but unable to put the lives of other people before their own.
It has only been in recent memory that I have also heard of an unarmed woman suffering postpartum psychosis getting gunned down by paranoid policeman because she wanted access to the White House illegally.
A few years ago, a lot of children and women got shot by Adam Lanza because they followed their safety procedures, which made it easier for the gunman to shoot them dead. I am sure that saying "Shooter stop!" is not going to stop a man who had just murdered his mother that very morning.
Today, it will be the twenty-fifth year since Marc Lepine walked into L'ecole Polytechnic in Montréal and said "I hate feminists." In my opinion, those three words were a lie. Despite his hit list of feminists in Montreal and Quebec City, Gamil Gabri failed miserably in killing one feminist. In fact, most of the women he murdered were not feminists.
Even though he shot fourteen women dead, twenty-three people were wounded and survived. Perhaps today's metro-sexual men should reflect on that when December 6 comes again in less than 11 months.
When men becoming more caring and compassionate, all it takes is one man to get them to leave the room if he carries a couple guns.
Nobody will know he had been beaten as a child until after another school shooting occurs. No one will know that the marks on his body were still visible a week later.
All it takes is one man to blame women for his problems, rather than his father or mother for physically abusing him. Then, not only will we have a repeat of the massacre of L'ecole Polytechnic but also Columbine, the Gill shooting in Montréal, the Vantech massacre, the Sandy Hook massacre, and other mass school killings.
Thus it makes sense that the metro-sexual men and their women remember Marc Lepine and sacrifice their lives as they attempt to take down tomorrow's crazed gunman.
It matters not if the gunman is a gang member or a psychotic who broke because of years of child abuse.
What really matters is that we should be prepared for the worst. As for now, children ought to get subsidized martial arts lessons by volunteers, be it street fighting or jeet-kun-do.
Yet martial arts instructors can tell from the first day, which student really should not be in class. It would be the child who willfully tries to injures others who would be pointed out to the principal.
Instead, willful meanness is allowed to fester and grow in the minds of children today. Rather than video games, children need at least four hours of play in addition to the three hours of studying by the time they get to high school.
Martial arts then ought to be an elective in middle school and up, as part of physical education and social studies. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen because not only schools today gun-free zones, the one rule of school is no fighting allowed.
In any event, martial arts is less violent than shooting fourteen women dead.
However, I do not suggest martial arts will prevent violence at school or in the homes. Rather, my reason for suggesting it is because it might help children become more assertive and outgoing.
According to my research on what to do if a gunman is packing a firearm but it isn't visible, the experts advise that you should rush him. This is because it take time to whip a pistol out from its hiding place tucked in the gunman's or under his jacket. If he is trained in the proper care and safety of a firearm, then he would also have the safety on in case of accidental discharge.
With the number of men back in 1989 in the class that Marc Lepine first said his infamous words, they could have easily rushed him. Perhaps Lepine would have gotten four or five shoots, but more women and men would have not been killed or wounded.
If a gunman comes with the aim to kill at a school tomorrow then mob him. Even if it means a couple people wounded and one person near death, then the odds are in favor of the mob, provided that the point man also call off any overkill of the gunman.
In conclusion, rather than Gamil Gabri's "Oh shit!" before he uttered, "Je déteste les féministes!", the cry heard around the world the next time a mass school shooting occurs ought to be "Je déteste batteurs de l'enfant!"
Indeed, every day ought to be a day of awareness and education exposing violence against women and children.
Just to give you a heads up about such violence, I leave you with the following from my recent Google search in the references below, where violence against women is common in the Punjab region of Pakistan (and probably India,too).

Yet martial arts instructors can tell from the first day, which student really should not be in class. It would be the child who willfully tries to injures others who would be pointed out to the principal.
Instead, willful meanness is allowed to fester and grow in the minds of children today. Rather than video games, children need at least four hours of play in addition to the three hours of studying by the time they get to high school.
Martial arts then ought to be an elective in middle school and up, as part of physical education and social studies. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen because not only schools today gun-free zones, the one rule of school is no fighting allowed.
In any event, martial arts is less violent than shooting fourteen women dead.
However, I do not suggest martial arts will prevent violence at school or in the homes. Rather, my reason for suggesting it is because it might help children become more assertive and outgoing.
According to my research on what to do if a gunman is packing a firearm but it isn't visible, the experts advise that you should rush him. This is because it take time to whip a pistol out from its hiding place tucked in the gunman's or under his jacket. If he is trained in the proper care and safety of a firearm, then he would also have the safety on in case of accidental discharge.
With the number of men back in 1989 in the class that Marc Lepine first said his infamous words, they could have easily rushed him. Perhaps Lepine would have gotten four or five shoots, but more women and men would have not been killed or wounded.
If a gunman comes with the aim to kill at a school tomorrow then mob him. Even if it means a couple people wounded and one person near death, then the odds are in favor of the mob, provided that the point man also call off any overkill of the gunman.
In conclusion, rather than Gamil Gabri's "Oh shit!" before he uttered, "Je déteste les féministes!", the cry heard around the world the next time a mass school shooting occurs ought to be "Je déteste batteurs de l'enfant!"
Indeed, every day ought to be a day of awareness and education exposing violence against women and children.
Just to give you a heads up about such violence, I leave you with the following from my recent Google search in the references below, where violence against women is common in the Punjab region of Pakistan (and probably India,too).

The Hypocrisy of Religious Violence (satire)
One root of violence is alienation. When a minority has an opposing view to the majority, that minority may become marginalized and alienated from the masses.
This has happened in nations previously colonized by the former British, Belgian, French, German, and other European empires prior to the post-modern period of history.
Another kind of violence is when a people are placed in prison camps during wartime. This applies to the Jewish Holocaust, the Japanese internment camps in the Americas during World War2, and even the imprisonment of Ukrainians in Canada during the Great War (1914-1918).
In our enlightened times in the post-911 21st Century (the post-modern era), prison camps will be used only as a last resort. Indeed, in Canada this also happened when the BC government moved children of Doukhabours from their homes into the former prison camps which once house the Japanese-Canadians displace from the West Coast of BC.
Furthermore, home-grown terrorists with no ties to Al-Qaeda are fervently Muslim but wholly radicalised due to their sympathies for their Muslim brethren in Gaza, South Lebanon and elsewhere in the world such as the Palestinian Diaspora of the Americas and the European ghettos of Western, Central and Eastern Europe as well as Eastern Eurasia and Central Asia (e.g. Azerbaijan, Kosovo, Turkey and other Muslim enclaves of Eurasia like Kazakhstan), and so willing to turn to violence for purely ideological reasons.
Most non-Muslim people in the West (the Americas, the UK, the Netherlands and other European nations with large Muslim populations) who mistrust the Muslim immigrants are totally ignorant of the Koran (including the Sharias and Hadiths).
A few of them (especially in the US) have even chosen to slander Mohammed and Islam itself, while calling themselves "God-fearing Christians".
What utter religious hypocrisy!
Even Sri Lanka fell into this religious hypocrisy by endorsing Theravada Buddhism as state religion and Sinhalese as state language in 1956. This political act in the mid-20th Century led first to riots and, in the wake of anti-communist fear, finally led to the assassination of the fourth Prime Minister, S. W. R. D. Bandaranaike, a Sinhalese Anglican Christian, of Sri Lanka in 1959 by a radical Buddhist cleric named Talduwe Somarama. In 1962, Mr. Somarama shed his orange robes and converted to Catholicism before dying as a "martyr" when he was executed in 1962.
However, Somarama was part of a conspiracy headed by Mapitigama Buddharakkitha of the Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara, for the Kelaniya Temple was historically a hotbed of trouble for Sri Lanka since its founding circa 500 BCE in south-western region near Colombo.
Civil unrest due to oppression by the Sinhalese of the Tamil militants later led to the Hindu militants radicalising when they formed the Tamil Tigers in 1976. After much turmoil over the next seven years, civil war broke out in 1983 and lasted until the Sri Lanka Army assassinated the Tamil Tiger founder, Velupillai Prabhakaran, on May 18, 2009 after over a quarter-century of war.
Violence in the name of God, by Christian, Hindu or Muslim, and even Buddhist militants is religious hypocrisy at its worst. For there is no peace of mind behind any intent to harm others in the name of religion.
This civil war was summed up by Gandhi when he suggested that those who believe that religion has nothing to do with politics do not know religion at all. For religious leaders and politicians have slept in the same bed called warfare since the time of Ashoka.

Mass Media Perpetuates Propaganda In Wake of Shooting
By not reassuring the American people, CNN, Fox News and other mass media outlets have once again used propaganda to unnecessarily scare its viewers.
By perpetuating social stigma against mentally ill people, viewers who think they are mentally ill will hide at home because of the delusion perpetuated by this propaganda that they might be dangerous to others.
God forbid that they make the mistake of buying a gun!
Therefore I will emphasize once again that Adam Lanza most likely killed his mother, 20 children and 6 adults because his mother improperly stored her guns.
His motive was simple: jealous rage at his mother for neglecting him due to her hobby.
For he was afraid of being deprived of the close proximity to his mother by being sent to an institution suited to meet his need for a disciplined, orderly and regular environment.
Therefore, mental illness has nothing to do with this tragedy.
For Adam Lanza was not crazy: he was in a rage due to the fear reaction he had at the prospect of being deprived of his mother's love.
While this may sound irrational to a mature adult, it is reasonable speculation on my part to suggest this scenario, rather than the propaganda that mass media outlets peddle which socially stigmatizes the mentally ill, who are four times more like to be a victim of violence than to harm another person.
We also do not need the NRA to peddle this propaganda, too.
As well, the other propaganda being peddled is the "rising murder rate". In fact, murder rates are higher in cities with 250,000+ people than in rural towns with 10,000 people, but are slightly less than they were 20 years ago, in America.
Easy access to firearms is the sole problem. When you have one immature individual, you might have a mass school killer. It makes no difference about their gender or whether they are mentally ill.
This is a crime of passion by a young man whose own mother had fears of her own about the world. Those fears were exhibited by her growing interest in survivalism and in firearms (her hobby), which includes firearms training for both her and her son.
Quite possibly, she may have also favoured Adam to the point of inculcating in him the seeds of dependency. Today we have no way of knowing this, because both he and his mother are dead.
Even so, Adam Lanza is yet another example of how fear distorts mother love into such a strong bond between mother and child that the child expresses his rage at his mother in a tragic manner.

Why Militants of Religion Attack Women
Celebration of the female body was also partially supported in Constatinople, though radical Christians back then were known to desecrate any art that depicted nudity.
Some of the battles that the Byzantine Empire fought were with Christians who subscribed to a more militant form of Christianity led by religious leaders sympathetic to Gnostic teachings which claimed that worldliness was evil and that godliness was good.
Due to militancy among the Christians, a pagan mathematician was assassinated by radical Christians in Alexandria for preferring the pagan sciences over the conservatism of Christianity.
IMO militant elements of Islam cater to this same kind of conservatism. Even though the Roman Empire was corrupt before Constantine the Great made Christianity a state religion, its art was did not lead to the excesses of pornography in America.
Although the decadence of Caligula is well known, only writings by authors who were not fond of him are known as it was common to destroy any literature praising him after that emperor's death along with statues of him and his god-horse.
Today, the fans of celebrities sometimes tend to worship almost like gods. Even when they act like drug addicts and never-do-wells, their fans still support them when they go into rehab.
However, American mass media is keen to display the bodies of celebrities as though it is a social good i.e. the right to freedom of expression.
To Muslim conservatives, it is obscenity mainly due to hardliners who fear that such obscenity will corrupt the morals of their youths, especially the men.
What they do not admit is that such obscenity was condemned by Muhammad because he too feared being corrupted by the idols of Mecca.
When a good man who fears corruption lashes out by killing people, that is the root of militancy. It matters not if it was 1500 years ago or last year.
As long as a religion protects its core values with militancy and the threat of death of unbelievers, it is an intolerant religion. This is what American Christians are trying to say.
Yet in more primitive areas of Asia, Christians are not less militant and intolerant as their Muslim brothers and sisters e.g. Brazil after an amateur football game, clashes between Christians and Buddhists in rural areas of Burma, India and Thailand, the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii, etc.
Religion promote conservative values, many of which are becoming increasingly outdated. This is why people apostate and leave religion.
As long as religion holds onto traditional values without tolerance of modern values, the violence will continue.
For any religion that allows for killing and other violent forms of repression has lost the core values of non-violence and peace that was integral to its founding.
Hypatia murdered by Christian mob: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HypatiaTo conservatives such as the Muslims, it is obscenity.

Visible Minority Saved Fate of Racist Whites
If it wasn't for the vocal objection of a visible minority, racist whites would still be accepted as the norm. So thank you Canada for enacting the Canadian Charter of Human Rights Act. Sadly though, the way it is written, even a Canadian municipality could use it to protect the majority from legal action by the visible minorities.
However, only the lawless trump justice by resorting to violence, regardless of the consequences such as Canadian crime bills that have the potential to turn your circle of friends on GooglePlus into "gangs".
Yet I am surprised that even the radical reactionaries among the Sikhs haven't retorted to me, when they spend so much time reacting to that radio talk show host who wasn't referring just to them a few years ago, and kept Immigration Canada at bay regarding the illegal immigrant they were rallying around.
Maybe poverty breeds anonymity. My net worth being in the red by almost a hundred C-notes helps me even more anonymous than Anonymous!
Despite the handful of East Asians in the news, I don't see Chinese reactionaries getting as much 300 second sound bytes on the news about those two murders of innocent South Asian women, and very very little from the inconspicuous Japanese - quite probably because mass media would dread the deluge of hate mail if other ethnic groups within the visible minority milieu expressed their free speech rights in a civil manner.
In my opinion, the most ridiculed of other minority groups would be the Christian rednecks amongst the NRA and possibly the reactionary Muslims, the hardliners who are this close to being criminals, but then just uttering an indirect death threat to anyone is criminal.
For a fatwa is not protected by free speech or by the right to freely practice a religious as one sees fit.
If a fatwa involves the death of the object of that fatwa, then whoever among the Muslim clerics supports it is offensive to God by putting the ideology of the holy war before God. Essentially, if a fatwa results in the death of the object of that fatwa, then it is akin to ritual sacrifice. This makes a mockery of God, because such a death is murder sanctioned by man yet excused as "the will of God".
When the will of God consists of devout men willing to kill for their God, this is proof that such men put first their ideology over their God.
For a man cannot serve two masters when it comes to religion.
While I am still at it, the above contentious logic is also reserved for well-meaning but possibly deluded, most likely misinformed and deliberately ignorant fundamentalists, e.g. abortion assassins who can't shoot straight, radical feminists who collaborate with Christian fundamentalists to close down adult stores and legislate pornography, gang members who have harmed thousands of people but have "found Jesus", and police officers going beyond the call of duty to serve and protect only to practice a form of State terrorism abusing people with "non-lethal force" weapons, sometimes with lethal results.
This is religious fascism, be it holy war, assassination of abortion doctors, the legislation of pornography, criminals who find Jesus in prison yet offered no mercy to their victims before prison, and tazer-happy cops being fronted by the company that makes such "non-lethal" weapons.
For fascism only markets violence, of which few participants are able to profit and in which few WWE veterans participate. It offers no social redeeming value and has no plan except to rob people of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Sadly though, few of my detractors are brave enough to register on Blogspot and rise above the usual web page vandalism i.e. spam posts with URLs pointing to scripts to convert unprotected computers into adbots for porn web links. Since I am not referring to the intelligentsia among my fans and critics — your intelligence will protect you from reacting emotionally to this jab at the mouth-breathing script kiddies — hopefully this will occasionally result in a comment.
Otherwise, I will retain this ridiculous delusion that I am talking to myself.
Though, as I wrote in a previous article, it's probably a side-effect of being Buddhist: I tend to pick my words carefully but end up subtly saying something important, or sometimes just inserting the main point in the bottom third of the article. That way, the reactionaries will go WTF and do what they do best — abreact — and thus fall on the swords they've made of their ego projections.
Depending the level of rhetoric and based on which response requires legal intervention, I can empower myself c/o the CCHRA.
Or not.
That all depends on who is ugly enough to turn up on my doorstep to get the dharma from me!
I also deliberately write long entries because this is a personal blog, and it's a world that I am "conquering".

Violence at Occupy Location == State Terrorism in Action
Remember the shooting at Berkeley in 69 or thereabouts that led to the Kent shooting?
All the shit happening today with Occupy can be attributed to the Establishment pretending student activism == Commies stockpiling guns, which is what Reagan gave as reason to arm police and bring in the National Guard.
It is this prevailing mentality that has lead to violence at Occupy locations around the world.
This violence is not the work of the activists; it is solely the work of the State.

How Vile! How Perverted!
Violence in the movies is vile and perverted.
I'd rather see another ancient civilization movie where the sex scene consists of about 6 men and 6 women who fornicate before a big fat, half-naked lady shaman in order to ensure a good harvest than see Angelina Jolie kick ass.
In short, Saw 3 is more pornographic than Moll Flanders.
I hate violent movies, but any movie that makes light of sex (like When Harry Met Sally) is a ball.

In Moderation Marijuana Beats Alcohol
420 beats alcohol. Here's how:
Alcohol, when consumed during binge drinking - the pastime of today's youth - can lead to violence. It is also a dangerous gateway drug, like tobacco!
Pot, when consumed in moderate amounts - two puffs - leads to the typical stoned feeling with momentary lapses of consciousness.
Only in people who associate violence with getting drunk or stoned, and binge drink and/or smoke too much pot, may become violent.
Please pass it on! Puff puff!

A Pacifist's Stance on All Forms of Violence
All forms of violence are not justifiable, not even homicide, rape and war.
No one is excused from violence of any kind, regardless of whether it is subtle or blatant.
Thus crimes of passion in reaction to a slight or an insult may be perfectly understandable, but the criminal still must either plead guilty or, having plead not guilty, be judged.
For the Laws of Hammurabi are incompatible with progress.
This is why Canadian justice has no death penalty.
Here are Sixteen Ways to Fight Sexual Violence.

War and Violence Neither Muslim nor Christian
War and violence of any kind is a great disrespect to Allah and God.
Any person who represents a religion whose members preach violence do not know of Allah and God. Any Muslim faith that uses violence to promote their religion dishonors Allah. Any Christian or Jewish faith that uses violence and condones war dishonors God.
Thus any Muslim leader who wishes violent death upon anyone offends Allah. And any Christian political leader who starts a war offends God.
Even Buddhists know better than to promote discord, and always value harmony and peace. Small wonder people are discovering Buddhism.
May all Christians, Jews and Muslims come together in peace.

Early use of SSRIs may worsen emotional disturbance
Mice treated with the antidepressant Prozac early in life grow into adults with emotional problems, a new report concludes.
Whether the drug has the same effect on people is unknown. But the result will add to the growing debate over what risks Prozac (fluoxetine) and similar SSRI drugs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) pose for young children and unborn babies.
'If they really need these drugs, people should take them. They can be life savers,' says Jay Gingrich, a psychiatrist at Columbia University in New York City, US, who led the research. 'But it is a little bit alarming to find they might carry risks that aren't apparent until later in life.'
Researchers began injecting mice with fluoxetine four days after birth until they were 21 days old. Nine weeks after their last injection, the adult animals were given a series of behavioural tests designed to assess their level of anxiety and depression.
The team found that rodents who received drug as newborns were more intimidated by new surroundings and moved more slowly to avoid painful shocks compared to controls. 'They are more inhibited in novel situations,' says Gingrich. 'Extrapolating to people, we'd say the mice are showing symptoms of anxiety and depression or emotional problems.'
With more and more children being given SSRIs to treat socially inappropriate behaviors, the risks associated with emotional disturbances amongst young adults is increasing at alarming rates.
Although children on SSRIs may no more likely to experience a brief psychotic episode than children with a substance abuse disorder, the increased risk of self-harm and/or harm to others does not justify increased use of SSRIs to moderate socially inappropriate behaviors.
Rather, it appears that the use of SSRIs is merely another method of regulating children's behavior, and is not unlike the use of TV and video games in that the parents may choose the relative peace to actual pro-activeparticipation in their children's lives.
Indeed, studies have shown that parents who actively participate in their children's lives also aid in moderating their children's behavior such that socially inappropriate syndromes are easily moderated.
So yes, getting involved in their children's lives is more effective than Paxil and Ritalin.
