There are no legal grounds to put somebody in a psychiatric hospital because he was a victim of aliens.
Quite. Insanity, like beauty, may well be in the eye of the beholder. Still, there are a lot of crazies out there, you know.
Some are almost benign, if more than a bit perverted. People who enjoy beheading Japanese sex dolls – or the good folks who run and visit the Christian domestic discipline site, which offers Loving Wife Spanking in a Christian Marriage.
Others, still relatively harmless, are a bit more alarming – and definitely show both a lack of taste and style. Like the producers and consumers of the Italian novelty product, Hitler wine – or the American gravedigger who took bits of his trade back home to make ashtrays out of them.
Still, for every baker’s dozen of relatively harmless nuts, there are one or two crazies that do need watching,
A Chinese court has jailed two officials after they let a blind contractor build a bridge which collapsed during construction and injured 12 people, the official Xinhua news agency said Monday.
Obviously, here the two officials were the true culprits. The blind guy might have been certifiable for wanting to build bridges but most of the blame should fall on the guys who enabled him to actually do it.
Which, of course, leads us seamlessly to yet another notorious idiot – yes, indeed, George Double Duh Bush, the 43rd president off the US of A.
A White House spokeswoman told the press that the prez, is keeping Guantanamo open until he figures out a way to ensure that the detainees are treated humanely once they are repatriated.
Again, who are those irresponsible moral morons who allow poor George to leave his rubber room so often and hand him a microphone each time he does?
As for the argument itself: yes, it’s very likely that some of the Guantanamo prisoners will face even worse treatment if they would be repatriated. However, that doesn’t make the prison itself less evil.
After the second world war, the Jews who had survived the death camps and returned to the countries where they had come from, found they were less than welcome there. In most cases their houses and other possessions had been confiscated by their former neighbours or governments and neither were willing to give these back to the rightful owners.
So, mister Bush, following your logic, would it have been better then to keep those Jews in their camps till a final humane solution could be found for this problem?
That, alas, brings us to the most disgusting and depraved example of a sick and evil mind,
It is forbidden to be merciful to them. You must send missiles to them and annihilate them. They are evil and damnable.
Who was that? Hitler? Some Hamas spokesmadman? The Iranian president himself perhaps? Nah, it was the spiritual leader of Israel’s ultra-orthodox Shas party, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, calling for the extermination of all Arabs.
Before the proper authorities lock him up and throw away the key and dump the locked room from great hight right in the middle of the Bermuda triangle, could someone please explain to the good Rabbi that, yes, it is right and proper to try and learn from history – but that, no, this doesn’t mean you do that by adopting the methods of the very madman who tried to do the same thing to your own people, only a few decades ago.
