Castrate the bastards

Check-in standing. Check-out flat. Boxed in.

A 31-year-old New Zealander has choked to dead while eating an airline meal on a flight from Singapore to Auckland.
Flying can be a dangerous event. Wondering in which airspace he was when he died. Just for the death certificate.

Was it chicken or beef?

Human behavior can be a choking affair.

Speaking of chickens. A sign in a food store said “No chicken because of industrial action”. What they didn’t say is industrial action (aka strike) by whom? The drivers? The chicken slaughters? The packers? Or maybe the chickens themselves! Maybe the chickens were tired of the same food every day. The crowded living conditions?

Anyway. No chicken available. Maybe the air passenger ate a ‘bad’ chicken? And that lead to industrial action…. Who knows? The world is a global village. A chicken here can cause a death there….

From chickens to stalking seems a hell of a long way, but in this funny world of crazy humans it’s certainly possible in a whimper.

A woman loves a man. It happens. When that love isn’t returned anymore it causes some fuses to pop in some woman’s head… it seems.

Dutch prosecutors are charging a 42-year-old woman with stalking after she called her ex-boyfriend 65000 times in the past year. Yes! 65000 Times in 1 year. How do you do that? That’s 178 calls per day! That’s 1 call every 8 minutes for a whole year. Day in day out. Crazy or totally nuts? That’s repeat dial in overdrive and on cocaine! So with some sleeping time, it’s probably 1 call every 6 or 5 minutes. A Dutch asylum is getting a new inmate!

The stalker told the judge the number of calls to her lover wasn’t excessive! Wow! What’s excessive then? Calling somebody every minute for a whole year? It’s only excessive then? Hello asylum! Get the electro shocks ready. One thing’s for sure, never ever give that women your number!

From insanity to madness.

South Africa’s police boss released the country’s new crime statistics. Seems there are a few lesser bloodstains as most crime categories have gone down a little.

But rape still stands at 56272 cases (a “slight” increase from 55097 in the previous year). That is between 6 and 7 rapes per hour!!!! Every day for a whole year long. And – as in all countries – rape is always an underreported crime as many victims do not go to the cops for a variety of reasons.

South Africa is the rape nation of the universe. It is insane beyond comprehension. Somebody being raped every 8 or 10 minutes! Which in reality many field workers think it is probably every 4 or 5 minutes because of the unreported cases. Wow! Castration of the perpetrators really becomes a totally acceptable punishment!

Human behavior can be very sickening!

Staying in edgy South Africa. The president (who has multiple wives) appointed a new Chief Justice. That’s like the boss of all judges and courts. The super-judge. But his choice is very controversial.

The new Chief Justice (whose first name is the same as his family name) is also a counselor at a Christian church. And there, in his counseling role, he aims to ‘cure’ gays and lesbians and prays to bring them back on the ‘path of righteousness’. Kick that for a Chief Justice, who is the main judge at South Africa’s Constitutional Court.

In previous rulings, before he became super-judge, he commented that rape within marriage ain’t too bad. If a man beats his wife or girlfriend up it was because she asked for it in the way she behaved or dressed.

And as he was nominated he said, during a live TV broadcast, that God has given him a sign that God wanted him to become the new Chief Justice.

Is there another bed free in that asylum in Holland?

Human behavior can take humanity a few steps back.

Sticking to religion. Around 1000 potential Islamist terrorists are living in Germany. There you have it! Start the riots! Germany’s interior minister Hans-Peter Friedrich made this amazing statement. And he added that of these 1000 some 128 were classified as potential attackers. There you go. Fear is among us.

If they classify 128 as potential nutters that will/can carry out terrorist attacks, what are they waiting for to arrest them? What parameters were used to classify them as deadly serious? And if so, can these parameters not be used to arrest them/ or are we waiting the first detonation?

Because if a minister makes such bold statements he better be sure before a pogrom kicks off. And if he is certain then there needs to be certain elements of proof that 128 of those 1000 are serious nutters. And thus, once again, what are we waiting for?

Get them before they get you. It’s basics.

Throw out. These grunge-rockers from Seattle have been kicking it for 20 years now. Pearl Jam is celebrating it’s 20th anniversary this month and are releasing a DVD beauty. The DVD is in fact a fully fledged movie, directed by Cameron Crowe. Plenty of never-seen behind the scenes footage. And to accompany the “PJ20” movie, the band is also releasing the soundtrack which includes rare, unreleased and live tracks. Hope PJ stays around for another 20 years. Kick that!

collateral – September 2011 is moving on

The offer was declined

The doorbell rang. “Can I read you a passage from the Bible?”, the old lady asked. The offer was declined.

It was a gang of elderly ladies on a journey to save some souls. Door-to-door campaigning for Jesus. Like a brainwashing outing.

Human behavior too often commits hara-kiri on one’s free mind.

But religion is without a doubt present in daily life around the globe. Sad but true. Too often the Koran’s followers are finger pointed for fundamentalism and what comes with it, but there are plenty of Bible freaks with the same fundamentalist tendencies. Scary. A self-limitation of one’s thought process.

The self-mutilation of the mind.

And the tea party presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann keeps going at it.

After some serious lack of historic and cultural knowledge, she now went for the religious banana peel. "I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. God said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?' " Bachmann said at a recent campaign event in Sarasota.

That’s serious. It’s God’s fault Irene passed by. Somebody needs to start looking for a free bed in an asylum in her hometown of Waterloo. Michele needs help! And Michele needs urgent teachings on weather patterns too.

So it’s God’s fault and choice and decision that 24 or so people got killed by Irene’s might. That’s a brutal God! An unfair God.
Michele needs pills! And maybe some electroshocks while we’re at it. What’s next? Well without a doubt gays and lesbians need some urgent religious counseling for their off-track-sexual-behavior. That’s a normal, classic religious approach on the matter. And ladies/girls wearing short skirts or bikinis are inviting to be raped. That’s God’s fashion statement. And without a doubt all Muslims are terrorists. That’s a no-brainer. And a good or a bad harvest is directly linked to the farmer’s prayers. Global warming is probably also God’s micro-wave revenge. Mistake! Republicans don’t believe in global warming. Michele would say that it’s all just based on faith in God. Life is simple. Why complicate things with science and all that other stuff? It’s all there in the Bible. Nothing’s new nor surprising. The answers are known. So start praying. See the signs. Light the candle. Donate your cash to the nearest soul-rescue church! There is still hope for you! Your vote, your soul, your support. One ticket covers all.

What’s next Michele? Enlighten us. Entertain us. Did God email NY mayor Bloomberg to halt the city’s underground network as Irene was approaching? “Hi mayor, I’m sending Irene to kick your ass for not listening!”. Maybe Bloomberg didn’t see the email as it might have gone into his spam box. It’s Norton antivirus software vs God.

Irene as the punisher from God. Irene with a whip. Irene as the blond vamp, riding a white horse across the sky and spreading God’s punishment across the globe… and beyond. Irene as the terminator of the infidels.

Gotta stop cause the visualization of all this is getting out of control. Gotta blame Michele.

But then after all the media headlines Michele said it was all just a joke. Is Michele joking about God? For a conservative, God-fearing, tea-drinking politician that’s just not acceptable. Only evil liberals walk that path. Michele needs fine-tuning. The asylum remains an option. As do the pills and the electroshocks.

Human behavior is watched by Irene!

Wondering what Irene has in stock for Gadaffi. The dictator has sent some of his family to neighboring Algeria. The mad man himself is apparently still somewhere in the Libyan dessert. Like a rat on the run. Game’s over. But dictators have troubles with reality and thus Gadaffi is having headaches from his ongoing delirium. Reality is a hammer on the head.

But the dessert rat shouldn’t worry too much. There are some fellow rats that are willing to welcome him. Rats stay together. United rats. Angola has said that Gadaffi can come and await his natural death there. Angola is a fake democracy. One man one vote is just a paper idea. An African classic. Strong man holds on to power and fills Swiss bank accounts. Gadaffi fits that approach. Dictators don’t go to the free world. They like hiding in dark corners once they are dethroned. And credits cards are linked to off-shore accounts on tax haven islands. So no worries about getting broke. That’s guaranteed. Set in stone. Dictators have very good financial advisors.

And so the African Union has declined to recognize the rebels, aka the National Transitional Council. Most of the rest of the world has recognized them so far (China, EU, US, Arab League,…), but for most of the African states it’s hard to let go of their paymaster. Because Gadaffi was the biggest contributor to the AU coffers. And beyond. He paid some African leaders directly to keep them afloat and in power. Democracy is still too fragile in Africa to dictate the pace of history. Justice is also too often MIA in Africa. But again, reality will catch up with those African leaders of the Gadaffi supports club. Reality always catches up.

Another close Gadaffi ally is mad Bob in Zimbabwe. The Libyan ambassador in Zimbabwe’s capital Harare had the guts to express his feelings and raised the rebel flag on the embassy. Not for long. Bob didn’t like that and kicked the ambassador out. Rats stay united! Traitors are send packing.

Human behavior sometimes tries to cheat reality.

Times are changing. But sometimes the change is just another lick of paint. Although the Arab uprisings are certainly kicking ass and throwing out some long-time rulers and thus times are indeed changing. If it’s for the better, only time will tell. That will be another reality check. Unavoidable.

Throw out. Boston’s Drago is back with a new album called “Times are changing”. These lads have been around for some years now and are still playing straight-forward, energetic hardcore-punk. The times are indeed changing but Drago still delivers fine tunes. Satisfaction guaranteed. Don’t change if it’s good. No need to repair the unbroken.
