Put up, shut up, fuck off, or die.
How many oxymorons (technically oxymora) can you think of? Note that an oxymoron is not someone who holds their breath for 10 minutes for a dare, but is what might otherwise be known as a contradiction in terms, but an intentional one. Try "Microsoft Works", "military intelligence", "government organisation", or a "deafening silence" as examples. Here's another one: "faith schools".
Now school is somewhere kids go to learn, to be educated in the vast quantities of knowledge mankind has acquired over milenia of hard study and thought. Faith is precisely the opposite, resorting to the explanantion of an all-powerful being doing it all for you that saves you the trouble of solving some tricky problem you can't be bothered with. And the latter has no place in the former. Faith promotes the idea that nothing matters, that everything is predetermined, that God will look after you come what may, and that you don't need to do anything because it's all in the hands of God. Now this may have been fine in the Middle Ages when it wasn't possible to live doing nothing but, now we have the benefits system and internet supermarket shopping, it is possible to live doing absolutely fuck all. This is not a good idea to give to our kids.
And another thing; IT'S ALL BALONEY! Can you imagine the outcry if science lessons were teaching children that the Earth was flat, or made of tandoori chicken?!? If geography was teaching that the capital of France was F! Or English was teaching grammar?!? There'd be a public uproar the likes of which the Daily Mail can only dream of. So why should religion be allowed to teach things that are not true with impunity? And to all those who claim it is true, I want to see evidence (N.B - your faith is NOT evidence); I wish to quote a friend of mine to make the point:
Put up, shut up, fuck off, or die.
Right, another thing that there is no evidence of; man-made global warming (MMGW). Now I know I've covered this recently, but it has suddenly become extremely important with the announcement of "green taxes" on fuel, cheap flights, non-energy saving lightbulbs, and rubbish collection. Now, first let's consider these taxes;
1) fuel - 75% of what we already pay for fuel is tax. That means fuel tax is 300%!!!
2) cheap flights - Often as much as 95% of the prices of these is already tax (anyone tried to fly to Malaga for 1 Euro?). The tax can be 1000's%!
3) non-energy saving lightbulbs - We already have VAT, thank you, on teh bulbs and the electricity.
4) rubbish collection - we pay vehicle excise, fuel duty, and fuel VAT to get to the (out-of-town as all our local businesses have been taxed out of existence) shop; then we pay VAT on the products; then we pay council tax for, wait for it, rubbish collection; now we're gonna have to pay for how much we throw out?!? 6 taxes on one thing!! We don't even have a say in packaging, it's all the supermarkets!! What the fuck are we supposed to do about it?
These green taxes are, and this is important, just a revenue raising exercise, nothing more! Britain produces ~5% of global CO2 emissions. If everyone in Britain stopped driving today, any net saving on emissions would be defunct by 90 days of China not changing their rate on increase. And most of our emissions come from industry anyway.
These green taxes are based on a report by Nicholas Stern, a respected economist, that says climate change could (note, could) reduce the global economy by 20%. Hence we have to tax people into changing their habits. His scientific consultants were, conspiracy theory alert, government science advisors, hardly impartial on the field of tax, one might think; suspicious. But as usual, it hasn't been thought out; if you price everyone off the roads, you'll wreck our economy anyway. Great plan guys!
One of the goverment's stated aims is to have 5% of cars in Britain on biofuel in a few years. But when a load of people set their diesel cars to run on recycled chip fat, what did Gordon 'piggy-bank' Brown do? He put a tax on recycled chip fat resale. And threatened to seize the cars for non-payment. Please, please, please, do not vote for this man!!!!!!
MMGW has all been one big ruse to make these long-planned green-taxes socially acceptable to the masses; and they've fallen for it hook, line, sinker, waders, bait, silly hat, bucket, Volvo, net, and copy of Angling Times. All so the goverment can say "these taxes will save the world". Fucking bollocks, the lot of it. Blair recently said the consequences for the planet of inaction were "literally disastrous. This disaster is not set to happen in some science fiction future many years ahead, but in our lifetime. Investment now will pay us back many times in the future, not just environmentally but economically as well. For every £1 invested now we can save £5, or possibly more, by acting now." Does anyone even remotely believe this isn't scaremongering to justify the taxes? And if you do you're so stupid I now call for you to be struck from the electoral register to save my country. Voting for a party that acts like this (includes the Tories and Lib Dems) is tantamount to treason; it is a vote for the destruction of our country's competitiveness.
Despite what the greenies may tell us, this is far from the scientific concensus anyway. 18000 scientists worldwide refused to endrose Kyoto, citing being highly sceptical that it had any merit as their reason. A professor of climatetology at MIT, i.e. not the sort of person we should just be ignoring on this issue, recently said MMGW was a defunct theory! But do we about hear this, oh no. Instead, the wonderfully relevant opinions of the Prince of Wales and Al Gore hit the headlines. Did anyone see "An Inconvenient Truth", Al Gore's arrogantly-titled film on MMGW? I saw a poster with the tag-line "Now is not the time to be converted, now is the time to convert others". CONVERT?!? Didn't I say in another post this whole thing was a fucking religion? Gore can fuck right off, I'll stick on the MIT climateologist's side thank you very much; I don't need your goddamn conversion, you twat. MMGW proponents let's see your evidence, stop just telling us "the evidence is overwhelming"; this is just another faith argument and has no place making vital political and economic decisions for us.
Put up, shut up, fuck off, or die.
Billy Bragg. God this guy is a complete cock. A rotten musician and self-proclaimed socialist and voice for the common man who now lives in a 4 million bedroom house in Dorset. Very fucking socialist. He has just written a new book "The Progressive Patriot". AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!! The arrogance of that title. He claims to be a patriot, but every time you see him on tv he's berating this country. Progressive?!? He's the only person older than 17 who still believes in Communism!
Put up, shut up, fuck off, AND die.
Right, I've run out of steam. I've put up my arguments, I'm now to shut up, soon I will fuck off home, and when the green lobby finds out where I live, I will die.
