again a shame really that a nation with a culture like france should fall into relapses of this violence every few years i suppose that s the price you pay for the society of moochers which has always been the end product of socialism unfortunately this has always gone hand in hand with the idea of liberty the combination of the two has never been pretty case in point the french revolution posted

dropped on hiroshima unfortunately the west has failed to learn the lessons of hiroshima leftists everywhere use it to demonstrate the horrors of war and talk about how great world peace would be one of the school notices today was entitled pray for world peace indeed as ayn rand points out war is a terrible thing it has taken the lives of many millions of people just over the last century and left countless more in mourning but what the leftists refuse to recognize is that the root of war lies in something worse than war in statism and tyranny when a government has declared war upon its own citizens it is never long until the surrounding nations are next this is the way a tyranny works it constantly needs victims and this is exactly what happened in world war ii the third reich and japanese empire brought war to an unprecedented new scale throughout the world trying to turn a blind eye to the devastation it took until a direct attack on american soil itself for the us to enter the war even then it took the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in hiroshima and nagasaki to show the japanese the evil of the philosophy that had grasped their nation what this represents as well as military appeasement is a far greater philosophical appeasement of tyranny after all military force is no use without proper philosophical backing without the forces acting for good knowing that they re acting for good chamberlain s pragmatism is what allowed hitler s germany to take over so much of europe so quickly because the ideals of the western enlightenment were thrown into jeopardy after the first world war for several years germany and japan were able to spread their empires almost without interference whereas before the british empire would ve intervened one of mankind s greatest follies is the persistent belief that evil is omnipotent that humans are born sinners and man s natural state is that of a barbarian that evil will always be here to stay but evil runs at the sight of good at forces who know that they are fighting for what s right unfortunately on august 6 1945 it took an atomic bomb to instill that message in the japanese if anything the bombings on hiroshima and nagasaki weren t a lesson about peace they were a lesson about the evil of appeasement _________ by this i don t mean some fanatical suicide bomber i mean a man who has genuine positive beliefs about his philosophy not someone who kills out of fear from an eternal hell or the frustration of emotions without a basis in reason posted by callum on thursday august 06

private information of some beneficiaries being released into the public sector by paula bennett although one lady has already realised that her little gesture actually did little to compromise her security at all the other is still unrepentant what she the public and the msm are forgetting is that the lady in question is a beneficiary she lives off public money that has been forcibly extracted from taxpayers as thus the taxpayer has the right to know about the people they re paying for i suggest something like this to be available online free of charge for every beneficiary name sex age marital status no children which benefit they re receiving benefit income per month other income per month this could be family income for stay home mothers how long they ve been receiving government funds this would not apply to pensioners or children under the age of 18 once an individual has stopped receiving government benefits their information is removed from public access although the information will allow taxpayers to see how their money is being spent it will not compromise the security of the beneficiaries the database will not include money for tax rebates any beneficiary complaining about the new system will be told that they re receiving public funds the taxpayer has the right to know who they re paying for and make decisions accordingly posted by callum on thursday

miscellaneous saturday 11 july 2009 skyscrapers american international building few people know of the american international building one of new york s tallest skyscrapers yet as well as being one of the foremost gothic skyscrapers in new york the american international building aib for short underwent fierce competition in the early 1930s to gain the title of new york s tallest with the chrysler building only for both to be outdone by the empire state building which was completed in record time the aib was the last skyscraper in new york to be completed before the second world war and was the tallest in downtown manhattan until the completion of the world trade center in the 1970s since 9 11 it has regained that title the aib is 290 metres tall or 952 feet and contains 66 floors with 36 elevators it was one of the first buildings in the world that was built with double decker elevators but due to low popularity these were scraped by the building s owners although originally owned by

the place of principals as a consequence of the national government s policy to publicly display school performance data hundreds of new zealand primary school principals are threatening to boycott literacy and numeracy standards as a libertarian and objectivist of course i do not support the governmental interference with matters that rightly belong to schools teachers students and parents but as it stands we are stuck with government s foot firmly in the door and millions of taxpayer dollars go to fund primary schools as a result those principals threatening to boycott the standards are public servants the public has the right to know how good our schools are as we are paying for them the taxpayer is their benefactor so principals have a duty to release information about school performance publicly of course the information doesn t tell all details about every aspect of schooling but the use of it is at the discretion of parents not principals in a free market for education principals would reserve the right to release information about their schools but in a competitive marketplace it would be a wise decision to release information to be better able to compete for students and the business they bring but as parents are forced through no choice of their own to fund schooling whether they like it or not it is their right to choose the best school for their children luckily education minister anne tolley believes that parents do have a right to know how about school performance but principals in a taxpayer funded education system need to remember their place as servants of the public not masters of their children article http www stuff co nz national education 2564336 principals in threat to boycott standards posted by callum on monday july 06 2009

solidarity to celebrate the world s first and only nation conceived and built on the idea of individual rights and freedoms the american founding fathers envisaged a nation where following enlightenment philosophy people were in control of their government which was solely dedicated to the protection of their rights not the other way around which is commonly accepted nowadays in doing so they laid the foundations for two centuries of unprecedented human development of course america like all other nations has its share of problems and the out of control government that now resides there is certainly not what the founding fathers had in mind except maybe for alexander hamilton yet think of how much poorer the world would be without american minds in science philosophy arts and literature so without further adieu a happy belated birthday to the nation that not without reason is indeed the greatest the challenge now is keeping to the magnificent legacy that the founding fathers created posted by callum on monday july 06 2009 0 replies friday 3 july 2009 one year on finally something good comes out of washington dc just one year after district of columbia vs heller dc homicides are on track to reach their lowest levels since 1964 before the ban came into effect the washington post reports that dc had 66 homicides during the first half of the year down from over 80 this time last year if the trend continues dc should report about 130 135 homicides for the year well down from 189 last year as well as the 494 back in 1991 perhaps critics may argue that it is too

horrid amount of racism that exists in new zealand society comes this no need to have any qualifications to get into university unless of course you re anything other than maori this is also the same group of people who talk about how they re better than everybody else in new zealand because they re tangata whenua essentially mysticism justifying racism somehow being the first people to migrate here means you deserve more rights than everyone else similarly they support segregation of seats in parliament based on race a policy that nelson mandela may have abhorred but apparently it s okay because of skin colour the fact of the matter is you simply can not choose your race ethnicity or skin colour this is a fact that the majority of new zealanders seem to have grasped by now therefore we should be calling the tangata whenua of the maori party what they really are racist allowing access to university based on race racist discussing how much better your race is over others due to mysticism racist supporting seats segregated on the basis of race in parliament racist indeed this group thinks based on lines of race according to them if an idea is in support of racial equality by not granting preference to people based on race it s racist there does not have to be any objective means of proving the racism this is the absurdity of thinking in terms of race therefore i think the
