You say potato, I say po-fuckoff

Hm, where to start. Yes, well, you might start from here, whereas I might start from way over here. Or there. Because we're different people with different styles, or rather, because you have no style, foo'!

Regardless, I shall begin.

Absolutes piss me off. Whatever you might say, there's always an argument to be made against it, or a different point of view. Mankind has constructed what is socially acceptable and what isn't. And this construct of ours is dynamic, it is ever changing, due to the fact that people tend to disagree on things. And no one has the power to decide that what he says is the absolute, infallible truth, unless of course you're suggesting that an infallible entity. And what were we taught in school, children? That infallible all-knowing beings don't exi- wait, what?

Ah, humour. A lovely thing. Now... where was I... ah, yes.

Allow me to explain further. Take for example all these nuts going around saying that one man killing another can never be acceptable, let's call one said nut "Bob." Now let's have a homicidal maniac, who we'll call "Bill", rape and kill (or kill and rape; whichever he might prefer) all of Bob's family. Now I'd be willing to bet all the money in my pocket (admittedly it's not much) that Bob's stance has changed, and that Bob would very much like to see Bill hanged from his testicles. Not because Bob's a hypocrite, but because his situation's changed, and quite for the worse. Poor Bob.

Now, each person is different, and each situation is different. Each situation shall be seen be each person differently. That's quite a few variables. But how can you know for certain that the "colour blind" aren't seeing the world the way it's supposed to be seen? Millions of people could find something perfectly acceptable, and millions could find it reprehensible. Who's to say which side is right?

You may come to me and argue that some things are absolute, and I will simply agree to disagree. Cause we see things differently and, well, everything is relative.

"Don't bother me with facts." - Norman Lowell

I was intrigued by my father's laughter in the living room, so I went to have a look at what was going on. What I found was Norman Lowell ranting on TV, with Imperium Europa's logo (which looks like something out of Power Rangers) in the background... and my mother on the couch continuously questioning why he was wearing his tie in such a manner.

Here are my comments on some of the highlights. By "highlights" I mean the things that were said in between my laughter to which I was able to pay some attention.

Throughout the show he insisted he wasn't spreading hatred, but love.

Putting every single Jew on Tasmania seems to be workable according to him. Now, Tasmania already has quite a few near-extinct species on it, why put another on there? Plus, if you put them on an island altogether, they'd eventually revolt and blow the rest of us up. Einstein, Oppenheimer, Teller, all Jews, all key figures in the creation of the nuclear bomb. Not surprising really, of course they wanted to blow up the Nazis. MY POINT BEING, they'd probably want to blow you up too, Mr. Lowell.

The Catholic religion is "feminine" unlike the Muslim religion, which can't feed itself by the way. I'm not too sure where he got the impression that the Church is womanly. It certainly is when compared to Islam... but... come on. And regarding Arabs not being able to feed themselves (he mentioned specific countries such as Libya and Egypt) I'm confused as to how northern Africa and the Middle East managed to survive and prosper much more than most of Europe for so long without being able to cook themselves a good meal.

Hitler's a hero, Churchill's a criminal and a drunk, who went to war with the wrong country. A number of issues with this. 1) Hitler wasn't a hero, probably no need to elaborate on this, and the only person who might read this blog and disagree with me on this is Martin. He would disagree by shooting me in the face. So let's hope he doesn't read this. 2) Churchill wasn't a criminal. So what if he bailed on a bar tab back when he was stationed in India? I'm sure he made up for it further on in his life. 3) Lowell should get his facts straight. Churchill wasn't in power when the UK declared war on Germany. Chamberlain was. Churchill didn't start the war. He finished it. Cause he was bad ass.

In case you guys haven't realised yet, I'm talking about Winston Churchill. Not the dog.

Nonetheless, "Imperium Europa" will come into effect in 2012. Good thing Lowell hasn't yet realised the world's ending round about then.
