new rules for xenophobia.

so if you're unfortunate enough to be a xenophobe (that's a racist... xenophobes aren't generally known for their intellect) these are some new rules i've devised for you to avoid being a walking contradiction. These are based for Australia but i'm sure they can be tweaked to fit elsewhere.

rule 1. You are not allowed to eat the food of any other nation. This includes that heavenly kebab at 3:30 in the morning after a huge night out.

rule 2. You are not allowed to own any product manufactured in a country outside of Australia. Unfortunately for you that leaves you with basically a hills hoist and a few tins of vegemite.

rule 3. If you have a "Fuck Off; We're Full" sticker on your car you have to do two things; first of all ensure your car is made in Australia otherwise you've already failed. Secondly, you have to ask the Aboriginie how they feel about you invading their country and basically raping their land, if they're cool with it you can stay... if on the other hand they say they believe they were full before colonisation you yourself must fuck off.

rule 4. You cannot ever try to make love a member of another nation. This includes watching porn with people of other nations.

If you adhere to these four very simple rules, even though you'll still be a racist dumbass, at least you won't be a hypocrite... a small consolation i know, but you should be glad to get whatever you can.

religion; a synonym for mental illness?

So let's say a man lives his life believing he is constantly being watched and the government are after him; they've tapped his phones, his under constant video surveillance and believes that a microchip has been implanted in his head to monitor his thoughts.

This man would most likely be diagnosed as a paranoid-schizophrenic and possibly institutionalised.

Now, we have people who live their lives in the belief that God is constantly watching them, monitoring their every move and every thought. These people believe any deviation from God's rules will result in eternal damnation in a fiery lake... of fire.

These people are religous. There doesn't seem to be a whole heap of difference between the two examples.

Just putting it out there.
