Close Your Head
Idiots Who Should Shut The Hell Up
"One step we can and should take immediately to help families cope with the relentless and growing pressures of everyday life is to require all employers to give employees at least seven days of paid sick leave a year."
-Barbara Streisand, Speech at the Press Club, January 13, 2005
--- Relentless pressures of everyday life. Yeah, like trying not to get nuked by some fricking ragheads. But I would be soooooo relieved if I just had seven days of paid sick leave per year. Rich clueless bitch. Every day is a paid sick day for her.
"No matter what the greatest tyrant in the world, the greatest terrorist in the world, George W. Bush says, we're here to tell you: Not hundreds, not thousands, but millions of the American people ... support your revolution."
- Harry Belafonte, in Venezuela
--- Millions of American people don't know what the hell you're talking about, and you are a lying bastard. SHUT YOUR HOLE.
"We are a nation that is unenlightened because of religion. I do believe that. I think that religion stops people from thinking. I think it justifies crazies. I think flying planes into a building was a faith-based initiative. I think religion is a neurological disorder."
"When you look at beliefs in such things as, do you go to heaven, is there a devil, we have more in common with Turkey and Iran and Syria than we do with European nations and Canada and nations that, yes, I would consider more enlightened than us."
-Bill Maher on Scarborough Country, Feb. 2005.
--- What a moronic loudmouth sophist. What an original thought, that religion is a neurological disorder. This childish dolt should have lived under communism. Now communists were enlightened. No religion allowed there. They would have killed him eventually for his big mouth. We have more in common with Iran than Canada. How incredibly ignorant.
"I have wisdom. I feel love. I live in the present and I try to present a dimension that brings harmony and healing... My concept is the opposite of George W. Bush."
- Carlos Santana, in Peru, March 20, 2006
--- Uh, yeah. You too Carlos? I thought all you arteests were such independent thinkers. You sound like dependent non-thinkers. Just platitudes and towing the line. If you have nothing to say, don't say it.

In French-Speaking Canada, the Sacred Is Also Profane
Quebecers Turn to Church Terms, Rather Than the Sexual or Scatological, to Vent Their Anger

MONTREAL -- "Oh, tabernacle!" The man swore in French as a car splashed through a puddle, sending water onto his pants. He could never be quoted in the papers here. It is too profane...
English-speaking Canadians use profanities that would be well understood in the United States, many of them scatological or sexual terms. But the Quebecois prefer to turn to religion when they are mad. They adopt commonplace Catholic terms -- and often creative permutations of them -- for swearing...
--- So here are the two idiots who can explain this odd practice...
"When you get mad, you look for words that attack what represses you," said Louise Lamarre, a Montreal cinematographer who must tread lightly around the language, depending on whether her films are in French or English. "In America, you are so Puritan that the swearing is mostly about sex. Here, since we were repressed so long by the church, people use religious terms."...
--- Oh sure, we're so repressed in America. We never talk about sex. Our culture is completely devoid of sexual expression. You in Montreal ought to be more familiar with covered women, considering higher ratio of Muslims. Don't use stupid cliches to mask your smarmy anti-Americanism.
Besides, you just said you were repressed so long by the church, so you swear with religious terms. But in America, we're so repressed that we swear with sexual terms.
You make no sense bitch.
Visitors from France are dumbfounded at that use of French, said Lamarre. "But that's because they got away from domination of the church a long time ago. They cut off the head of the king really early. We didn't do that."
--- I bet you're a barrel of laughs at parties. You must have gone into film because you're not too bright and you have a very big mouth.
The Post found some other idiot to supposedly agree with this wretch...
"You swear about things that are taboo," said André Lapierre, a professor of linguistics at the University of Ottawa. In the United States, "it is not appropriate to talk about sex or scatological subjects, so that is what you use in your curse words. The f-word is a perfect example.
--- In stupid America, we don't never talk about THAT stuff... we're too busy making barbecue, wwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehooooooooooooooooo!!
Again, don't start with the false assumption that we're sooooooooooo puritanical, dumbass.
"In Canadian French, you have none of the sexual aspects. So what do you replace it with? You replace it with religion. If you are going to use a taboo word, it would be anything related to the cult, to Christ, the Communion wafer, Jesus Christ, vestments, and elements of the altar like tabernacle. There's quite a few of them."
--- So in Quebec you're all so liberated, so you use religious swears. You contradict the other moron. But you both look down in America, so I guess everything is OK!!
What morons.
