While I Like Jalopnik…

… I don’t care for some of the wording they use in some of their articles.  This one starts out with:

Times are tough in Gaza. So tough, in fact, that the Middle Eastern
region’s residents, starved for petrol as a result of Israeli
sanctions
, have turned to running their cars on pressurized cooking
gas
, according to a report today in the Toronto Star.

Times are hardly tough if the residents of Gaza can boycott Israeli fuel shipments.  Further, Israel shouldn’t be giving ANY fuel to Gaza because Gaza is attacking Israel with missiles on a daily basis.  I dare say that if Rhode Island was lobbing missiles into Massachusetts, the residents of MA (even Cambridge) wouldn’t be NEARLY as understanding with RI as Israel has been with Gaza.

Because Little Brown People Are Just Children To Us

You know why people get upset at Israel for acting tough with Palestinian Arabs?  It’s sometimes anti-jew sentiments, but I think most of the time it’s because we expect Israel to act like a western power; like an adult.

Why does no one make a big deal out of Egypt saying this?

CAIRO (AFP) — Egypt said on Thursday it would no longer tolerate Palestinians infiltrating the country from the Gaza Strip, and threatened to break the legs of anyone crossing the Rafah border illegally.

Anyone who breaches the border will have their legs broken,” Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit was quoted as saying by the official MENA news agency on public television overnight.

Because Egypt is populated by “children” who just don’t know any better.  Think of a mother making excuses for an embarrassingly petulent child in a supermarket; “he’s just tired”, “he doesn’t know any better”, “I just don’t know what’s got into him today”.

This is how many people treat the actions of thepeople and leaders from Arab, African and Asian worlds.  It becomes an excuse for a child who should know better, but is “acting out” or having a “temper tantrum”.

Y’know what?  I’m sick of these people being treated with kid gloves.  The excuses for behavior, the occasional spanking with loud protests from the other “mothers”, it has to end.  It’s time to man up.  These people aren’t children, they’re adults, and their actions should have real-life consequences.

All you “mothers” out there, you wouldn’t let your husband get away with any of the stuff these supposedly poor, downtrodden brown people do, so shut the fuck up and let daddy take out the trash.

In Treatment

In Treatment is a new show on HBO.

I recommend it.

The Wire

The Wire is a show on HBO.  Last season (season 5) is on now.

This show rocks hard.  Buy the DVDs, or steal them off the net, either way, you’re a disgusting person if you don’t watch this show.
