In order to forego further discussion (argument) on the issue of college for girls, this article will outline the principal reasons for shunning college for girls.

A jihadi rapper and a pizza delivery man who loved Tim Hortons. Impressive. Now if only Canada could convince the rest of the crowd to follow suit, so to speak.
In 2004, Hammami drove to Canada, which he wrote was “like entering a new world. … There are Tim Horten’s [sic] fastfood joints all over the place and people speak from their nose,” he wrote. In Toronto, he married a Somali-Canadian, but he didn’t like the city’s “Western defects” and noted it was not “a pure Islamic society.”
Perhaps the American in him might have consulted with a Fodor’s before learning first-hand that Toronto is not “a pure Islamic society.” Although, the poor, ignorant fool hails from Alabama, so… go figure.
Having spent considerable time in Somalia in a past life, I’m sure the Somalis were happy to be rid of him. I know Canada is.
because we all some a few of us know it wouldn’t be long before it would be implemented on this side of the ocean. For all we know, perhaps it has already been implemented in, you know, some country on this side of the ocean. A simple executive order would do it, for the most part, and Congress wouldn’t ever have to be consulted. Nor would the electorate.
Sound familiar?
Quoting an outside news source is now illegal. Linking to a news site is illegal. Opposing the government on your personal blog, of course, was already illegal, and those who did so were routinely prosecuted. –the Daily Dot

The New York Times revealed Tuesday that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has access to the entirety of telecom giant AT&T’s phone records.
the Hemisphere program enables swifter and more reliable tracking of drug dealers. The program “simply streamlines the process of serving the subpoena to the phone company so law enforcement can quickly keep up with drug dealers… –salon.com
What dumbassery.
Of course the American government and the DEA can quickly keep up with drug dealers by using a vast and illegal database. That’s why the importation and use of drugs is way, way down and rapidly decreasing. Because, you know, the government is listening, and the drug dealers are so very afraid.
Unrelated, but I have to say it anyway:
Already the American Constitution lies in tatters. Judges and courts spout corporate and government propaganda in their judgements. The middle class has been raped, pillaged and destroyed by greedy corporations. Politicians of all stripes are bought, sold and traded by big business and the lobbying machines like nothing more than the cattle they are. Mainstream media, owned by giant corporations, ignores and abdicates their responsibilities, then lines up to see who can kiss more government ass, faster.
The biggest joke of all: Ignorant citizens, ad nauseum, hold high three-word signs, much photographed, proudly declaring, We the People.
Doesn’t anyone know the rest of it?
The next two presidential elections will seal the fate of America. If not one of them will begin to put an end to the abject stupidity, there will be no end to the road America has chosen to travel. Ever. Sadly, many nations will be drawn in to Amercia’s nightmare, as others have in the past during related excursions by other countries.
I really hope I’m wrong on this, but I don’t think I will be.
The Americans are still at it.
the Obama administration bluntly accused the Syrian government of Bashar Assad on Friday of launching a chemical weapons attack that killed at least 1,429 people — far more than previous estimates — including 426 children. –National Post
Not even Great Britain, a nation with its boots stuck so far up America’s ass that only the heels are visible from the outside, chooses to polish American jackboots this time – thanks to a Parliament that decided not to be duped again.
the international community cannot allow a “thug and a murderer” to use weapons of mass destruction with impunity.
Thanks for that little nugget of insanity, John Kerry. Now then, when will you American thugs and murderers stop butchering men, women and children around the world with impunity? Your drone strikes put you and yours in the same thug and murderer category, n’est-ce pas?
Really, guys? Four times a year?
Given that many of these guys probably still live with mummy and daddy, I’d go so far as to question the training they receive. As far as the couples at every 2.3 weeks, I’d say the English countryside is no better than a pig pen.

Now you all know why I don’t like to shake hands – not that there aren’t other reasons for that aversion.
In another lifetime, from what I could tell and see, they didn’t do a lot of washing and scrubbing, either. Thankfully, I have no reason to return.
I never in my entire life thought for one soul-searching minute that I would ever agree with something that Sarah Palin spouted, but in this case, I’m all for it.
Let Allah handle it.
Once again, America will insert its jackboots into the Middle East. And to what benefit? Syria has never known a democracy that actually worked.
So then, America, get over your view of yourself as a world policeman. Nobody really gives a shit, other than a few 24-hour news programs that sell commercials on the backs of gas attacks and people butchering each other, and the warhawks that support the military-industrial complex that runs your puppet government.
Leave the foreign devils to sort it out on their own. And, while I’m on the subject of America’s interventionist foreign policy, take your jackboots out of every other country in the world while you’re at it. No one wants you in their country. No one. Bring your rust-bucket navy home, along with those blood-thirsty marines that strut about and generally screw things up, whether they’re in combat or just sitting around on their fat American asses.
