You too can burn the Pope.
Keeping track of all the numbers of the Beast.
A German art student does an amusing, and harmless, artistic prank.
How to treat a prat with a mobile phone.
This cartoon absolutely does not apply to spark_au.
A headline to inspire.
This gave me a giggle (top ten things never said by a NASCAR driver).
Google™ is doing a large experiment in for-profit philanthropy.
A nice post about bias and not trying so hard.
Why the doctrine of zero group differences is not only false, but pernicious.
Journalist and controversialist Oriana Fallaci has died. A personal tribute.
The life of German historian Joachim Fest, who has just died. About the economic history of the Third Reich. Considering the case of Gunter Grass admitting his Waffen SS past and not discovering racism until rather later. Hitler banned homeschooling in 1938: it is still illegal and you can still go to gaol for it.
Sweden is experimenting with not being run by the Social Democrats for the second time in almost 90 years..
Nowhere is immune to the lone killer with a gun.
The mullah’s and modern art.
A powerful post about the limits to understanding in advocating social changes: Possibly one of the most moving moments in Jason de Parle's absolutely wonderful book, American Dream, which follows three welfare mothers through welfare reform, is when he reveals that none of these three women, all in their late thirties, had ever been to a wedding. (There is a difference between reforms which get rid of exclusions and reforms which change incentives.)
How a UN conference against racism became a rallying point for a new outbreak of Jew-hatred.
Revisiting Enoch Powell’s infamous ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech: The problem with censorship, as John Stuart Mill pointed out a century and half ago, is that it makes it impossible for those who impose it to discover that they are wrong. The speech. A Dutch Muslim leader berates the Dutch Government for not defending Dutch values. It is precisely those folk who support getting along, democracy, etc who are undermined by pandering.
About Israel’s health service, which treats folk equally.
A good question: why is it that those who support the current policy of democratization in Iraq seem dispassionate, and consider counter-arguments, while those who write off Iraq are furious, angry, and in near apoplexy discount any who disagree?
Police brutality in Zimbabwe.
A military coup in Thailand.
