"The EU’s Stunning Hypocrisy on Crimea:"

It can be amusing when people point out the hypocrisy of some person or group. Even more so when it is done to rationalize the egregious behaviour of another. But, it is always a lazy, misplaced technique used by nincompoops who have nothing substantive to add to the discussion. Paul Joseph Watson is that nincompoop today. He is lazy because hypocracy is like lying, everyone is guilty of it. It is misplaced because hypocracy by one, like lying, does not justify it for another. Tit for tat justification is for children. Stupid children.

Further, the nincompoop didn't even make the effort to choose equally egregious hypocritical behaviour. It's not even close. Putin invaded another country with his military forces and compelled a vote. The examples of EU election tinkering were minor rule changes affecting comparably few. Rule changes within an orgaization all of the members voluntarily joined. Rule changes within a rule making regime all of the member nations agreed to live by. Voluntarily. The vote in Crimea was compelled and sanctioned by a puppet parliament at the point of a gun using ballots with 2 choices. Join Russia or join Russia. And the nincompoop crys foul against the EU? It's pathetic. Paul Joseph Watson is a nincompoop and unless he is truly retarded, he is also very likely a stooge for Putin.

Well, I was wrong about one thing. On this occasion, it is not amusing at all.

"Gays Ruin St. Patrick’s Day - Evidently, it is not enough to have a Gay Pride parade every June. Now every parade must be a Gay Pride parade."

Every parade must be a gay pride parade. Ya know, that would be one way to go. Who better to decorate the floats and arrange the flowers, costumes and balloons? The lesbians would insist on joining so it wouldn't be a complete waste of time and we could all marvel at the pretty decorations. Put em in charge and make it a law.

The worst thing that happens is what? Nobody hardly shows up? Maybe that would be a good thing. There's nothing quite as creepy as people who insist on joining your activities uninvited and on being your friend unasked. Like that guy who pushes pictures of his family in your face on those long plane rides. What better way to demonstrate that reality than giving the gays control of all the parades? Let them duke it out with the lesbians for biggest float. Maybe the wiccans will join the brawl and we can watch on TV. I see it as a golden opportunity on several levels. How many fire trucks do we need to watch before it get's boring anyway? Give em control of the parades.
