Animal 'Rights' Activists Confront Homosexuals Over Leather 'Pride' -- 01/17/2003
Just when you thought it was safe for you and your homosexual leather fetishist life-mate to leave the house, up shows the rabid PETA demonstrators. Can't we all just get along?ArabNews: Saudization drive begins to falter in vegetable souks
Hey, look! An article from the Arab News that I'm not going to slam Islam over! I'm going to slam protectionism instead.We've seen similar things in America, notably in California, they were just as short-sighted, and they failed just as miserably. The simple fact is that if Saudis wanted those jobs, they would have had those jobs. Either they don't want them at that pay, or you waste money by paying subsidies that drive the cost of the product up. You drive the cost of the product up, demand dries up, and you end up raising the subsidy. It is a vicious loop.
Saad Al-Dosary, a young Saudi salesman and one of the few who decided to stay in his new job at the souk, said that at first the return of foreign workers began slowly but then accelerated until everyone realized that they were once again in control of the market.Give that man a cigar. If they wanted the job, they already would have had it.He explained the flight of Saudi workers from this kind of business by saying that “most of them are impatient and lazy”.

Kooks.This must come from the same line of thought that causes people to want to put warning label on cigarettes. "You could make the whole pack the warning, with a big skull and crossbones on it, and call them "Tumors" and smokers would be lined up around the block to buy them." The more mushroom clouds you put on TV, the more people there are who are going to be screaming "nuke 'em first!"

A little gem that I found that has absolutely nothing to do with anything.NY Daily News - front - Muslim stops synagogue torching
A man bites dog story. The sad thing is that it was newsworthy that the clerk who called in this attempted act of terrorism was a muslim. If a Christian called in a tip on an abortion clinic bomber, that wouldn't be newsworthy. Unfortunately, the Arab community's support of terrorism is so prevalent that when a Muslim breaks ranks and acts nobly, it is a news story.The unkindest cut to the clerk is that the excuses continue:
"It's not about religion," Popinara said of yesterday's incident at the synagogue. "He just flipped."You know, if I -- a white guy -- flipped out, and I decided that the place I was going to go ape at was the Martin Luther King day parade, and I decided that my target would be the NAACP float, would anyone have the gall to say it wasn't about race?
