Vanguards of bullshit
On a similar note, and I warn those who are offended by virulent antisemitism that they might consider not clicking this link, this is a lesson in hatred. What scares me is that this guy is not joking. None of them are.When your first thought on seeing a picture of the man arrested for the murders of five women is "he has a big nose, he must be Jewish", you have a fucking problem. Even if we rebuilt the world in the way you want, you would still have a problem.

So why give a shit? These poor, inadequate boys are a menace to anyone they can gang up on in their hometown but surely we need not worry too much about them?
I dunno. Poor, inadequate boys are easy targets for not so poor, not so inadequate, more subtle men with bigger agendas, whose answer to most of the problems they perceive is that someone else must die. The frightened, small-cocked shitheads of Vanguard News Network have parallels elsewhere, on uni campuses, Islamist websites, mosques. It leads all too often to the fulfilment of the subtler men's agendas, to corpses, tears, families without fathers, sons, mothers, daughters, whatever their colour or creed, that they might have delighted in for years.

Those subtle men who use boys such as these can only get so far in societies like ours. I think. Then I look at Ireland not so long ago. Well, but the usual "cure" that leads to their suppression is much scarier, isn't it. So I'm tolerant of intolerance.
They managed to blow up tube trains and buses. Many more could have died.
And the 9/11 attackers were organised in Hamburg, among other places.
Yeah, the "cure" is scary but there are other cures. This is an age that needs thinking. Sadly, being able to think is not a requisite for leadership positions.
I'm tolerant of intolerance to a point but I think there's a line in the sand. I'm not sure enough where it is to lay out prescriptions but I think it's there, and I think that we have to be able to recognise that gross wrongs such as denying the Holocaust are different from differences of opinion such as understandings of how society should conduct itself. Where the line is difficult, more than difficult to draw, is with issues such as the treatment of women and the choices they are allowed.
