Patrickl's whacky news

<< < (27/50) > >>

patrickl:
Indeed that's rather whacky, although also maybe more PnR material.

Still, sort of on the same subject, I thought it was rather funny when Pat Condell gave one of his rants about the Dutch whimping out when the law was changed to make it illegal to ridicule religion (actually that didn't happen, but indeed that was the word that got out) I'd like to hear him him now on how wimpy his own government is to not even let a guy visit the country because "he's protesting against the violence of muslims and that might upset some muslims".

Level42:
Good find. Pat is right though.

I think we should be able to keep this out of PnR. It's about a basic right in the civilized world.

Again, I don't agree with Wilders. But I strongly believe in his right to say what he wants in the EC.

Indeed and this whole thing just works against the people who want to shut him up. It only makes Wilders more popular. Even people who could care less for him understand that there is something severely wrong when Wilders cannot claim that the quran preaches violence, even while the insulted muslims have protests stating that Wilders (or even all Dutch people) should be killed.

I wonder if anyone in the UK actually noticed that this whole thing was happening though. I really doubt it was as big a deal there as it was here.

patrickl:
Pat Condell updated his site. He's not so kind to the UK government either  :P

BTW that site might be NSFW due to strong language

Allrighty finally some wacky news again:

Letter from NJ to Ore. woman takes 22-year route


--- Quote ---An Oregon woman finally received an invitation to her nephew's high school graduation in New Jersey, but she may be a little late — it was in 1987

Lol, that must have been a surprise.



Ok the Sun isn't really a quality news paper, but for wacky news that doesn't rally matter:
Cat-boy can see in the dark

Apparently a chinese kid has developed natural night vision. He can read a book in "total" darkness and his eyes "glow" like those of a cat. I would have guessed his name was Riddick, but it isn't. If something like this would have happened ages ago he might have started a new human race of nighthunters.
