We regret having welcomed you when others turned you away. We regret having given you free housing, free education, free health care and a minimum revenue even without work. We regret having approved your mosques in our ancient Christian land. We regret having done all that without even requiring that you learn our ways and our language in return. We really do regret. And now, go to hell!</I><BR/><BR/>"Note: I do not know any more about this petition than what is stated above. Occidentalis got it from Novopress who got it from France-Courtoisie, a subscriber-only website. The last line should be modified. I understand the sentiment, but it is counter-productive to use that in a petition. I don't know for whom the petition is intended. Will try to update."truepeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401984575637492845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13144649.post-1143918050931933402006-04-01T11:00:00.000-08:002006-04-01T11:00:00.000-08:00This is a companion piece with the one above. I wo...This is a companion piece with the one above. I wonder about the difference between those like B.F. Skinner and Viktor Frankl. The man depends much, I think, on his mates: if one learnes from others the values of the Sikhs and the Japanese, then one might desert from those values, but more likely not, and one might well be a hero no matter what. Each man, regardless, will stand with his mates till the end. And they for him, and all for all. I like it. I admire it greatly. More, though, do I love the buglar who made his own choice when others better able did nothing. That transcends the beauty of a groups loyalty and heroism. The individual who will take on the task without others and in spite of others, and in spite of himself, that is beauty. <BR/><BR/>I don't slot all this into war and physical conflict: my hero is Socrates, a soldier, it's true, but a man who lived to the end as independent in the mind, loyal to his friends, and certain in his pursuit of the good. He's one in a million. Denmark has five million people, and it appears their Socratic men immigrated some time before now. <BR/><BR/>It's been my observation that Danish soldiers are dedicated professionals, every bit as brave as Sihks and Japanese. I'm wondering where are the buglars? I'm wondering where are the Danes who will volunteer? Who among them will stand while others shuffle? Instead, I see cowardice and shameful behaviour. <BR/><BR/>If Socrates wanted to be liked he might still be alive today. He preferred honesty, and he died for it. In the Danish case, honesty is the only thing to save them. It takes a leader to shake people from a bad idea and to make them see the universe in a different perspective. It takes someonee to storm the ramparts unarmed and alone while the others wait for better times. Or they continue to blindly and stupidly walk like peace-nik lemmings off the nearest cliff.Daghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664271893389366772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13144649.post-1143876778174612192006-03-31T23:32:00.000-08:002006-03-31T23:32:00.000-08:00http://www.rigsadvokaten.dk/ref.aspx?id=890I didn'...http://www.rigsadvokaten.dk/ref.aspx?id=890<BR/><BR/>I didn't mind this move by the Danes, maybe the talkshow could cover it. I hope they have an opinion piece ready for the public to comment..https://www.blogger.com/profile/06086667650892455393noreply@blogger.com
