"Pork or Nothing"
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/13/pork-school-dinners-france-secularism-children-religious-intolerance
It was Torquemada who used to execute people for not eating pork "as they didn't like it", wasn't it?s scrapping a pork-free option a victory for secularism – or just an example of religious intolerance?Comment

Yeah, see, when I read that, I wondered whether this whole thing was prompted by the kid inheriting a life insurance policy or something. I honestly can't imagine what the motivation would have been otherwise.Evariste Euler Gauss wrote: ha ha, lord love a duck!
That Auntie Christ thing, fucking hell! She really was serious about the thing, wasn't she. Words fail. Kid's mother died last year too, according to that last link. That auntie is one seriously fucked up woman.Comment

Airplane "Meal" Goes Awry
A PASSENGER who witnessed a man bite another passenger before being pronounced dead on an Aer Lingus flight has described the "very violent" scenes.
John Leonard, from Cork, was travelling on flight EI-485 from Lisbon to Dublin last night when a Brazilian man took ill and allegedly bit another passenger .
The man had to be restrained after it was claimed he became extremely violent before he fell unconscious and died.Comment

Now reported that the dead man's body "contained packages of a powdered substance". Which probably makes both the death and the behaviour leading up to it a little less puzzling.Comment

It's really astounding that for how smart some of these people are, that they have no understanding how some of their messaging will play to the wider public that already doesn't like them, or to just ask someone about it first.Comment

Bangalore, recently:
Documentary photographer Debasish Ghosh has captured images of the clouds floating around the city and overrunning the roads. The foam comes from Bellandur, a 1.4-square-mile lake that for years has been polluted by chemical and sewage waste. Every time it rains, the lake rises and wind lifts the froth up and carries it into the city.
The toxic foam gets in the way of pedestrians and cars, creating awful traffic jams. It carries a stench so strong that it burns the nose. And if it comes into contact with your skin, you’ll get an itchy rash.
“It causes a nuisance,” Ghosh says.
Making matters worse, the froth is flammable. In May and June, the entire lake caught fire, leaving a 56-year-old man who was standing on a bridge above the lake with a ruptured cornea.Comment

Guy, I'd already posted that link, and commented on it, on the "Greece, or why Europe's doomed" thread, and I agree it could deserve a thread of its own.www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/11...nned-from-power.html

The reaction of the wise men of OTF to my outrage seemed to be "normal constitutional procedure, nothing to see here, just the Telegraph spinning something in order to attack the EU". See "Europe's doomed" thread for details. We'll see, I'm sure.Comment

I find myself wondering what the fuck is wrong with people on a daily basis. Some people are psychopaths, some people are just thugs, but it takes a special kind of stupidity to think that something like this is okay to do.
