Hawaii Governor Compares Gay Marriage to Incest!!!!!

Governor for Hawaii, Linda Lingle, vetoed her state's Civil Union Bill and stated in a radio interview she compared civil unions with incest.How she thinks that being in a loving, adult, same-sex relationship and wanting to make a commitment is anything to do with incest is beyond me  It just goes to prove, yet again, that the highly educated can still be morons.

Ignorant MEPs claim Paedophilia and Homosexuality Are Linked

In a parliamentary hearing on the sexual abuse of children certain MEP's made comments that linked paedophilia to homosexuality.   One such Member of the European Parliament for Lithuania, Vytautas Landsbergis, claimed that children should be protected from "homosexual propaganda" and "homophilic paedophilia'

The infuriating aspect of these ridiculous claims is that the MEP's in question had nothing to back them up.  On the London Metropolitan Universities Child and Woman Abuse Studies Unit site they have a common misunderstandings section that addresses this issue:

"Although there are sexual abuse rings and individual abusers who target large numbers of children, most children are abused by men they know. Most child sex offenders are married men, who have sex with their wives and sometimes other adult women - they are children's fathers, uncles, teachers as well as family friends and neighbours. These men do not fit the clinical definition of 'paedophile' - adults whose sexual interest is limited to children - nor do they fit most peoples perceptions of a 'paedophile' - a loner, someone with poor social skills. So most child sexual abusers are not 'paedophiles' in any clear or obvious sense.

Many people want to be able to identify a category of men who are more likely to abuse children. In fact, there is no 'type' of man who is an abuser - they come from every class, professional, racial and religious background. They are heterosexual and homosexual. They are also often very skilled at manipulating people and situations, at creating trust and respect within their community and profession, for example as clergy or youth workers.."

So as you can see paedophiles can be of any race or sexuality and being a homosexual and a child abuser certainly do not go hand in hand.

I think the ignorant MEP's should read the full article

Off With Her Head - Helen Mirren's Unpatriotic Comments Are Unacceptable

I've always liked Helen Mirren, she seems comfortable in her own skin, has grown old gracefully and has never been afraid of nudity. Last week however, she attempted to ingratiate herself with the American audience, on The Letterman Show, by denigrating her own nation. She stated that she was glad that the US beat England in the first round of the World Cup, that BP stood for "bloody p*ss poor" and that the English invented football by kicking heads around!!!

Not only does she need to get her facts straight but she should show a little bit of appreciation and support for our open-minded, tolerant, diverse and interesting multi-cultural country without being embarrassed. Americans are fervently patriotic and plant their Stars and Stripes flags outside their homes with pride. We, however, are told to take down out England flags and not to wear our England shirts in public in the fear  that our national pride will be mistaken for racism. 

BP hasn't really been a British concern for years; 40% of the shares are American owned and BP dropped it's original title when it merged with two US oil companies around ten years ago.  The board of directors are half US citizens and half UK citizens. Moreover this is about a global commercial companies short comings, not a nation's. I sympathise greatly with the plight of the locals, environment and wildlife in that area but greed and the world's reliance on oil is to blame.

As for the football comment, if you want to learn about the true origins of football then read it's history on the Fifa website.
