If I have a favorite awful argument in favor of reducing the drinking age in the U.S., it’s probably the whine that Europe’s “enlightened” drinking laws ensure that kids get acclimated to alcohol early. Consequently, they know better than to overindulge.
Right.
[Reuters] Thousands of teenagers and students swarmed onto Spanish streets on Friday for mass drinking sessions, defying legislation introduced to stop the binges known as “botellones.”
Who says the Europeans aren’t doing anything to combat racism? (If you don’t like PDFs and are on the campus, Firestone has a copy – I stumbled across this there.)
Here’s a great snippet:
An artificial world where no-one is ugly, no-one is fat, where there are no blacks or asians! All sunshine and happiness! […] Under the guise of humor, we are bombarded with clichés and I’m sure it becomes even more difficult to deal with reality. In real life there’s rain, asians, fat people, and plenty of nastiness.
Yesterday’s Financial Times reported that the EU’s racism monitors buried a report on anti-Semitism. Why?
… because the study concluded Muslims and pro-Palestinian groups were behind many of the incidents it examined.
I wonder if those were the same groups who burned a Jewish school in France last week?
Andrew Sullivan wrote that he feels like he’s back in 1935.
