No cure for being a cunt...

Evening all,

I trust you all had a good day, I know I did considering that tomorrow is Friday, can't fucking wait! The first thing I want to talk about is Andre Slade. For those of you who don't know, Slade is the owner of Sodwana Bay Guesthouse who it appears has some rather archaic ideas when it comes to race, OK that's a little inaccurate. Basically the man makes the AWB look like an anti-racism organization. He's written a book, "Where to from here, Cognition" which explains his theories in detail, he sights some interesting scientists, namely Carelton S. Coon, an American scientist who's work on the origin of races has been widely criticized by multiple scientists from multiple disciplines.

I would also like to point out that the entire premise of the second chapter of his book, (Ironically entitled Scientific Fakt) is based on Coon's theories, which in turn rely heavily on evolutionary science. The funny part is the fact that on the books website, (wtfh.org/chapters.html) says that the third chapter completely disproves evolution, (still getting there, should be an interesting read).

The reason Slade is in the news is the fact that he sent an e-mail to a black lady who wanted to book into his guest house. Essentially the e-mail informed her that the Sodwana Bay Guest House was no longer accepting either blacks or government officials. Now I know some of you may be thinking that the man deserves the same protection I have pointed should be implemented for Penny Sparrow. The problem for Slade is the fact that he took his racism from thoughts and speech into action. I only hope that the courts can pick this up and prosecute Slade to the full extent of the law.

I would also like to make a personal appeal to anyone reading this, first and foremost, please don't threaten or do Slade or his loved ones any harm. I am simply asking that you spread the word that Sodwana Bay Guest House is to be avoided at all costs, let's hit this fucker where it hurts, his wallet. Having said that, I somehow doubt he will change, as Bron from Game of Thrones said of Jeoffrey, "There's no cure for being a cunt."

On to other matters, there's been an incident in Viernheim, Germany where an armed gunman took hostages inside a movie theater late this afternoon, no one died other than the gunman though over 29 people were injured. Details are still sketchy at the moment but police seem certain that the motive was terrorism. What I wanted to talk about was a comment I saw from an American, something along the lines of, "So how's that gun control working for you Germany?". As someone who is very much pro-gun control I can't help but say, "Pretty well? our shooting ended in one death, that of the gunman's, remind me how yours ended again?"

I really don't mean to take the Orlando Shootings lightly but one really does have to wonder when America as a nation is going to wake up to the fact that making guns easier to get hold of is making the problem worse. Of course there will always be guns available illegally, but when someone can happily walk into a shop and but semi-automatic assault rifles without a background check it's no wonder you end up with tragedies like Orlando.

Last but by no means least is a story about a 10 week old baby named Isabelle. Isabelle's mom isn't an idiot, she plans on getting Isabelle vaccinated as soon as she's old enough, but Isabelle has contracted whooping cough. Isabelle is too young to get the vaccine, but she should have been perfectly safe except for one problem. Not everyone is as smart, (or simply not stupid) as Isabelle's mom, and so some fucking moron has now endangered poor Isabelle by not vaccinating their child. Please people, there are mountains of evidence that show that vaccines are safe and harmless, with little to non showing that there is any link at all between vaccines and autism.

The video for today is another Tim Minchin piece, a nine minute beat poem entitled Storm:



As always, I don't own the above, please do check Tim's stuff out, the man is funny as all hell.
