I see on this morning`s news that the major NATO powers all want the Danish PM as the next Sec. Gen. of the organisation, but there have been objections from…..Turkey!! Oh, yes – it`s because of those Danish Cartoons again!!! Watch out for lots more of theses “cultural clashes” if they persist in cosying up to such backward, primitive, extremist bigots.

I have a correlation to the Salem Hypothesis (which appears to be headed towards being a theory, if only a few more people would test it) which is this:

Creationists are either (a) uneducated or (b) blithering fucking idiots.

Very, very few have a practical education in biological sciences.

I’m sure the EU will warmly welcome them, just like Tony Blair warmly welcomed Sir Peter Vardy with all the baggage he brings to education. Amounts to the same thing on a lager scale.

I wonder if this will effect Turkey’s EU Accession Negotiations…?

And this is a country that wants to joint the EU. We can’t allow it – not with those kinds of people ruling!
