This article was written for the 2002 Games of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. Utah's Not Diverse - It's Weird! By Steve Sailer In the U.S. these days, everyone talks about "diversity," but no one seems to do any thinking about it. "Celebrating diversity" has become our civic religion, but few seem to understand that there are two opposing kinds of diversity. Consider the logical knots the press ties itself into over the state of Utah. Salt Lake City's sta...

we're here to fight the infidels ." Normally I wouldn't link to such a left-wing source, but I thought they pointed out something interesting. Of course the Guardian feels obliged to give the most interview time with the most sympathetic figure, who is at least an Iraqi. Read what a foreign terrorist has to say: "...Abu Ossama from Tunisia. 'We are here for one of two things - victory or martyrdom, and both are great,' he said. 'The most important thing is our religion,...

by Ron "Girl's Best Friend" Diamond One of the most frequently asked questions we get here is "What is a homey?" Although Rant N Irishman has done an exemplary job of defining it through his numerous Homey's Guides, I have decided to write a primer on the subject (Homey 101, if you will). First of all, a homey is not just somebody who is black. There are plenty of black men and women who speak normal English, study hard, work hard, and are excellent parents. Unfortunately, many of these ...

I spent part of this past weekend visiting an old college friend who just took a job in Chicago. He found an apartment on the far North Side of the city, in Rogers Park. It is one of Chicago's more diverse neighborhoods. It is also overly tolerant, tolerant of any social aberration that should stroll on in. Lucky for him he's single and childless, because it's a shitty place to raise a family. My friend and I walked to a corner store to pick up some beer and on the way in we saw two yo...

After the unfortunate murder of Pim Fortuyn in Holland, an eerily similar event took place today Link Nov 2, 7:30 AM (ET) By TOBY STERLING AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) - A Dutch filmmaker who had received death threats after releasing a movie criticizing the treatment of women under Islam was slain in Amsterdam on Tuesday, police said.

Link Morality, Manners And The Law Kim du Toit July 26, 2004 Albert Jay Nock, as always, defined the situation nicely in one of his essays. Human behavior is governed best by observing the three behavioral codes in the hierarchy -- religion, manners, and the law -- in that specific order. But Kim, you ask, you're a devout atheist. How can you preach religion as a code of behavior? And doesn't observance of religious behavior lead to a theocracy ? The answers to ...

Plain English Word Finder Plain-English Word Finder by Karl Jahn I love the English language with a twofold appreciation, as an amateur linguist and prose writer. Each avocation heightens one's awareness of language as such and of one's own language in particular. This awareness enriches one's life by the beauty of which the language is capable, when well-used; on the other hand, one is also more sensitive to its ugliness when ill-used. One class of irritant results from ignor...

I admit I'm a right-winger; I'm also an atheist. And the truth is neither neither side of the political spectrum can appreciate or accept that fact. But there are explanations for why each side feels what they do. First, I'll explain why I am an atheist. I've always been a stickler for proof and evidence. I think of myself as being on a jury. The evidence gathered and put forth in support of God's existence has always been weak, and predicated on circular logic: i.e. the Bible prove...

When did racism become the greatest crime known to man? Apparently these days, thoughts (usually perceived thoughts) are far worse than actual deeds that make a morally despicable act despicable. People such as race pimps and guilty white liberals don't care much about a crime, that is unless it can be protrayed as a "hate crime," like when the perpetrators happen not be from a certified minority group and the victims do. To these people, racism is not the irrational hatred of people f...

Link SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- The American Civil Liberties Union has sued the FBI, trying to get more information about the agency's questioning of Muslims and Arabs as it investigates the possibility of pre-election terror attacks. The ACLU suit, filed Thursday, is seeking internal documents under the Freedom of Information Act to find out whether the government is protecting the constitutional rights of the subjects of its unannounced interviews at homes, workplaces and mo...
