People are killed for no reason in Iraq, and then there are times when the reason for killings are so bizarre, it, it simply makes no sense.

Take for instance, in the rural western Iraqi village of Gazalia, a shepherd was killed for failing to diaper his goats, apparently it results in sexual tension among men and according to Sharia law, the site of a naked goat is tempting enough to warrant killing the shepherd. Think that is crazy, in another case, a grocer and three others were murdered and fire bombed simply for not following the Sharia way of arranging vegetables, apparently because the grocer arranged it differently and for the profoundly repressed, “suggestive.�

Don’t believe me, list to the story on NPR.

There are many reasons I think of to condemn religious fundamentalism, this is just one of it. This story reflects on the cultural deficiency of certain sects in our society and their faulty justification for their cruel and inhumane acts. Like it or not, these people (fill in the name of your favorite fundamentalist group) are morons who can’t tell their asses from their faces, the Ayatollahs of stupidity, the Popes of idiocy.

If we in this day and age tolerate such barbarism, we are nothing more than tools in the hands of the devil himself. We should not just oppose, but proactively eliminate such cancerous clerics who waste the lives of our youth in the name of cultural cleansing. It is they who need to be hung.

Answer, these were children drowned to death (in a bathtub) in 2001 by their mother Andrea Yates. Today, a jury in Huston, TX, found Yates not guilty by reason of insanity. The defense said she suffered from severe postpartum psychosis and, in a delusional state, believed Satan was inside her and was trying to save them from hell. This is a setting example of how faith plays a role in our legal justice system, where reason is overruled by religious dogma and justice is served based on whether your church affiliations.

If a Muslim guy thinks about flying a plane into the White House, the whole nation wants to fry him in a electric chair, but if a Christian lady drowns her kids, huh, no big deal.  

If anyone deserves the death sentence, it is Andrea Yates. Our justice system obviously failed baby Mary, 2-year-old Luke, 3-year-old Paul, 5-year-old John and 7-year-old Noah.

Here’s an interesting psycho analysis of humans and our reaction (or lack of) to Global Warming. The author is Daniel Gilbert, a professor of psychology at Harvard University. The interesting part is the title, “If only gay sex caused global warming.” (with due apologies to our gay readers…)

A donkey was arrested and kept overnight in a police station after being seized at a rally in which it was used to highlight alleged “failings of local officialsâ€?. Campaigners in India’s Tamil Nadu state say the law is literally an ass after a judge ordered the arrest of a donkey.
Can’t beat that can we?

The allegation is that MySpace does not verify the age of its users and calls measures in place to stop “grizly old geezers grooming sweet young thingsâ€? as “utterly ineffective.” The suit alleges MySpace fails in its duty to protect minors.

Minors or otherwise, here’s why people like this 14 year old dimwit baffles me:
- You are on MySpace 
- You lie about your age while signing up for a shitty service
- You go around posting information that reveals your personal information
- You network with strangers who pretend to be interested in you for your Java skills (read playing a top 40 song when your page opens)
- You actually go out and meet one of them, watch a movie, eat and …
then turn around and sue MySpace for being irresponsible? How convenient.
