On Nov. 29th the citizens of Switzerland will be called to approve or disaprove a ban on the construction of muslim minarets in their country.  My new avatar is the poster of the YES camp, and the source of major anti-racism handwringning from what I read.

The Swiss case is merely one of the many symptoms of the increasing unsease in the West regarding the numerous excesses of multiculturalism.

So are you in favor or not of such a ban?

To which I'll reply what I usually reply: show me throat-cutting, bomb-exploding, plane- highjacking, honor-killing, religious-creeping homos, in vast numbers, and I'll accept this moral equivalence as a valid argument.  Actually if you can find one, just one, that isn't a psychopath mind you, and I'll concede the point.

I think it's the opposite of moral equivalence to insist that all people have the same rights.  Surely the moral equivalence is that one's rights can and should be limited according to the behaviour of your group represented by its most extreme and violent elements.

Hrmm. I dunno. I can't help but suspect that more Americans have been killed by gays spreading AIDS than by "throat-cutting" Muslims.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I won't rest until everybody lives in a split-level in the 'burbs.  That way everyone is a proper person.

Except poor people. They are often smelly.
