Curiousity may kill the CERN

It has been reported that tests being performed by the Large Hadron Collider at the European Nuclear Research Centre (“CERN”) will result in the creation of innumerable mini black holes. Most physicists have ascribed to the theory that these mini black holes will vanish in an instant.

However, others suggest that one of the black holes may expand rapidly and swallow the Earth, and other surrounding matter. CERN are reported to claim that the test is crucial to revealing the secrets of universe’s very existence, and that the test will recreate the immediate aftermath of the Big Bang. Why is it so vital to understand the mechanism of existence? Is it worth risking our existence, even remotely, to know how it happened in the first place? This exercise reminds me of the story of the Tower of Babel but hopefully we can discuss this further in the future.

Obama's "epics"

I would prefer it if Obama stopped using the best lines from movies and TV series in his speeches (e.g. Armageddon and Babylon 5 via Abraham Lincoln).

Please feel free to note the other films from which he has lifted lines for his speeches.

Everybody wants to rule the world

The more that I see of Obama and his coterie, the more I have a feeling of increasing unease. Leaving aside all policy issues, it is alarming that his whole career, political and otherwise, has been crafted to the dynamics of achieving the presidency of the USA. I am not floating a lunatic conspiracy theory, it is merely unsettling that he has wanted the presidency so much. Every vote, every position has been structured for years in preparation for this launch to power. Some reports even have him saying he wanted to be president when writing an assignment in grade school in Indonesia.

In my experience, when someone has desperately wanted a job or task, and they are prepared to do almost anything to get it, those are precisely the people who should be barred from the position. Some sacrifices must be made in order to obtain high office, I am just troubled that Obama seems to have stuck to a plan for decades whilst planning his ascent to the loftiest post. Clearly, he has demonstrated a ruthlessness indicating that anyone, and anything, may be up for sacrifice in his quests for whatever it is that he wants. And if most of Europe wanted him to be elected, then that is the clinching concern for me.

Political correctness is not mentally balanced

I am heartily sick of seeing the politically correct stance of providing both sides of selected arguments. There is right and there is wrong, there is good and there is evil. Just because someone holds honestly derived abhorrent views does not mean that these ought to be aired. Hitler held his views honestly but I do not want to read Mein Kampf.


Ones does not give an audience to flat earth advocates when you read about spaceflight. You do not provide a wrong mathematical answer as an alternative to a proven theorem. You should not provide airtime for the lunatic conspiracy theorists of 9/11 who refuse to accept what they saw with their own eyes or the terrorists who have claimed “credit” for the monstrosity (oh, except that sometimes media outlets do, because it has somehow been adopted as an alternative history by people full of hate).

Today, we see which self-styled soldiers target civilians for murder and behead those that fall into their clutches. It is not hard to see that which is wrong and evil.

Terrorists have values, they are just not the same as Western ideology

Shehzad Tanweer is one of the four terrorists who blew themselves up on three trains on the Tube (London Underground) and a bus in July 2005. On hearing of the memorial party for Tanweer's "soul" in the Pakistani village where his remains are buried, Andrew Dismore, MP for Hendon said: “Most Muslims would be absolutely horrified, as I am, that Shehzad Tanweer is being remembered by some people as a martyr.”

I doubt it. Infidels don't count so why would they be remotely upset about the terrorist attack itself? Loyalty is to Allah, and it is unfortunate for them that a Muslim had to die in committing his heinous act. Tanweer was brought up in the UK with this moral education, and it is why there are plenty more Tanweers about. It is a mistake to ascribe Western moral values to the way of thinking that creates Tanweers and his ilk. Political correctness now prohibits thoughts that people are actually different in their views.

42 days Out of Jail Free Card

The terrorists now know that they only have to hold out for 42 days and then they will go free, with Cherie Blair and her entertainment friends waiting to spring them and give bail monies (e.g. Vanessa Redgrave). The soft talkers are happier to let terrorist attacks take place, and claim that this is more important in protecting liberty, rather than monitor society and halt the traitors and their support enablers. Anyone can monitor me, because I am not conspiring to commit murder. What about the liberties of those who want to live in a free democratic society and who do not seek to maim and murder those who hold different views? What about the liberties of those who seek to defend themselves from terrorism, and who are now being criticised for not allowing themselves to be given an ultimatum of surrender or die? This reduction to 42 days from what the police sought on the very day after a terrorist's wife is being locked up for allowing his dastardly attempt to proceed. We should hold them until they give up actionable intelligence, and only then think about giving them common criminal rights. These are not common criminals that the Act is aimed at.

Talking about freedoms that grandparents fought for? How many of the terrorists' forefathers were on the side of freedom in WWII? Why was the Grand Mufti in Berlin at the side of Adolf during WWII? The terrorists have been on the side of fascists and totalitarianism throughout history, and they continue to be.

Women and Children first (for terrorists)

I was amused to see the manner in which Hassan Nazirallah called for an open war with Israel. Surely the way to conduct an open war is not by hiding in an underground bunker (like his hero, Hitler) and dialing in the threat via a video. One of his henchmen should advise him that things did not turn out well for the last anti-semitic tyrannical psychopath who hid in a concrete hole.

If he wants to be a shahid in an open war, then instead of others making others do his dirty work, perhaps it is time for him to emerge into the sunlight and fight a straight fight. It would make a welcome change for the terrorist hordes to fight that way, although they continue to live by their creed of “women and children first”, for targetting.
