Costa Concordia and Feminism



It is rather amusing how the mainstream media (television and movies) constantly shows women in "empowered" roles. And, yes, when disaster strikes, the same media complains if "women and children" are not given priority.

Feminists always lecture us how men hated women in the patriarchy. And, yet, these same men that supposedly hated women were willing to die for them. Curious.

    I thought it was especially disgraceful that nobody thought to drop off the passengers of the life boat on the island to go back for the people who were still trapped on the ship. Had they just tried to deal with the situation by organising and taking care of each other, nobody should have died. Instead, an elderly man died while trying to swim to safety, while the young men were all fighting to get on the lifeboats. I think this shows how Europeans today behave when faced with a crisis; not much better than the Haitians.

Violence In Chicago

President Obama was disappointed that the Olympic Committee decided not to choose Chicago as the venue for the 2016 Olympics. As President Obama was formerly a successful “community organizer” in Chicago, this defeat must have been especially disappointing. Part of the reason that Chicago may not have been selected is due to how Violence has stricken much of the city. Just a couple of days ago a Chicago student videotaped a murder of an honor student. http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0929/p02s01-usgn.html (As a side note, it seems to be especially dangers to be a Black honor student. In the stories linked below, all the victims happened to be honor students.) http://www.smmirror.com/volume3/issue23/samohi_honor_student.asp http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/c/a/2005/09/27/BAG4OEUD661.DTL http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-79459073.html http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/01/26/2009-01-26_progun_senatordesignate_gillibrand_shoul.html Link to raw video: http://www.myfox
