First Conviction in Victoria for Nazi Salute: Self-Proclaimed Nazi Faces Sentencing
Your argument raises important points about the need for rigorous debate and the protection of rationalist values in the face of historical impositions. we must recognize that dialogue itself can coexist with diverse perspectives, including those that may seem religious or sentimental. One of favourite Eckhart Tolle reminds me that understanding is subjective and deeply personal. Rejecting all religious sentiment outright might limit the depth of our discussions. Engaging with different viewpoints doesn’t diminish rationalism; rather, it enriches it by fostering a more inclusive dialogue. - "The word God has become empty of meaning through thousands of years of misuse. I use it sometimes, but I do so sparingly. By misuse, I mean that people who have never even glimpsed the realm of the sacred, the infinite vastness behind that word, use it with great conviction, as if they knew what they are talking about. Or they argue against it, as if they knew what it is that they are denying. This misuse gives rise to absurd beliefs, assertions, and egoic delusions, such as 'My or our God is the only true God, and your God is false," or Nietzsche's famous statement 'God is dead.' The word God has become a closed concept. The moment the word is uttered, a mental image is created, no longer, perhaps, of an old man with a white beard, but still a mental representation of someone or something outside you, and, yes, almost inevitably a male someone or something.” While it’s crucial to honor the sacrifices made to assert humanist values, it’s equally important to remember that these values can evolve. Rigidly holding onto a rejection of all religious sentiment risks alienating those who find meaning in these perspectives. True progress in humanism lies not in dismissing others but in engaging with them, challenging ideas, and nurturing a culture of understanding. This allows for a future that honors both rational inquiry and the complex tapestry of human experience. -

I doubt the U.S. President needs to have studied geography. Or any other subject. He just needs to know how to cook a dog. -

Drunk Indian Tourist Assaulted After Harassing Woman on Pattaya Beach
The drunk Indian tourist was lucky that it was just one punch and that he wasn't besieged upon by a group of Thai men beating and kicking the wholly crap out of him. -

Thai Hostages Still Missing a Year After Hamas Attack
Very few countries (if any) pay immigrant workers the minimum wage. That is why they let them into the country. The wage is down to the employer. The immigrant workers, even though they may be paid below 'the minimum', still earn more than they could back home thus enabling them to send money to their families. That is why they apply to go there in the first place. Yes, some employers push the boundaries of what is acceptable - there will always be a few bad apples. -

Thai Hostages Still Missing a Year After Hamas Attack
Well on the flip side, there has probably been a couple of hundred Palestinian women and children killed for each hostage taken and for each Israel killed on Oct 7 2023. That collective terminal punishment should show Hamas a thing or two, 'eh? I think I saw how effective that was in a movie. "Kill one of ours we'll kill 100 of yours." Fair's fair, right? -

8-Year-Old Boy Drowns While Playing in Overflowing Water Weir: Kamphaeng Phet
I can remember back when I was 10yr old, when a boy from our school drowned swimming near the bridge supports in the river Thames, it was was popular then for us kids to go swimming in the river, especially during the summer holidays, but most did it a long way from the bridge. At Morning School assembly, we got a very strong lecture on what had happened and why, that year our school built a small swimming pool, maybe only about 5meters wide and 20meters max long, then we all had swimming lessons (games) it was bloody freezing, but we got on and done it, I remember the teacher got the whole class to walk around in the water in one direction until we had created a current, then she blew the whistle and we had to change direction against the current, although I could already swim, it was a very important lesson learnt. The pool was open for us to use in the summer holidays, we had no local swimming pool at that time. Oh and I was the first one ever to swim the length of it underwater, and mentioned in assembly. I taught myself to swim on our 2 week holiday every year while mum and dad slept in deckchairs, I was the only one in our family out of 5 able to swim. (and drive when I got older) -

"Shoplifting costs the consumer in the end". No it doesn't, if shoplifting was completely eradicated tomorrow, prices would still keep going up by the same amount, there is capitalism and greed everywhere. -

Harris Voices Outrage in Interview with Howard Stern
Oh, absolutely. I've said he was not my first choice for the GOP nomination. But, given the situation where there is only a binary decision between him and Harris, the choice is blindingly obvious. Warts and all, Trump did a good job as President. Harris was an abject failure as VP. That is what matters, not personalities.- 1
