San Francisco Nudists: Naked Butts vs. The Torch

Nudists should be among the activists who are expected to protest against the Olympic Torch run in San Francisco.

If I could, I would join them right away. I think it would a nice kind of symbolism because in Ancient Greece athletes would compete naked. Sure, we have different social standards now and it is customary and NORMAL to wear clothes in public. BUT– it is also normal to be able to say one’s opinion and stay free afterwards. China puts dissidents in jail for that.

Authorities are considering stopping the Torch Run altogether.

::UPDATE:: Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg says that politicians should boycott the opening ceremony! Once again, the country’s leaders proved they are dictators. Opening ceremony is altogether commecial event that we should not promote, the FM said.

My words exactly…

Has anyone in IOC asked themselves the question: What is it going to be like during the games?  Are the Chinese authorities going to prosecute, hunt down, shoot, expell….whatever… visitors from all over the world who come to China with Tibetan flags? Athletes might be forbidden to speak up by their sponsors and national Olympic committees.

But who is going to shut the people up? Who is going to shut the booing crowd up – during the opening ceremony?

Tanks on Tian An Men, perhaps? The Chinese “are good at it”. Where have I seen that before…

Go naked butts!!

Mormons Are Fundamentalists, Some Media Say

What do you know…

Some members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are fundamentalists. 

Well, if somebody promotes polygamy and no sex before marriage at the same time, its gets you thinking. If a group of thousands of people follows one idiot named Warren Jeffs whose favorite activity is incest, at least according to testimonies and according to prosecuting DA, it gets you thinking twice as much.

If there is anything that I really hate, it is any concept that tells people how to think. Which inevitably includes religions. Some organized religions can make you do stuff that a normal person would never do, for example marry a fifty year-old man in an arranged marriage and give birth to his child when you are only fifteen.

Back to Jeffs: according to the recent investigation Jeffs preaches ”that every man must have at least three wives to achieve the highest glory in Heaven”. Any other normal man who has his own brain should know that he shall do everything to make his wife happy and that he should take care of her and that the two of them should have healthy sex life before marriage…

Sometimes I have the feeling that parents should not have the right to choose their children’s religion, or in other words they should be forbidden by law to force their children into some religion the kids might not agree with…
