Damned Polarbears

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

In case you don’t know about the PVV, this kind of says enough about hum, how to put it. Well let’s put it the way Marten Toonder put it in his Bommel works. Let’s say “een klein denkraam” [a small 'window of thought' ie narrowminded].
Anyway, apparently teaching kids a variety of things is a bad thing. Maybe it will broaden their horizons, which will probably lead to some kind of freedom of thought that the PVV may not want, I don’t know. I really don’t know what the hell the idea is here, but make up your own mind and read this little article.

Sure, teaching kids to read and write is important. Teaching kids a lot of things is important. For a lot of reasons. I’m not an expert, I rarely ever am. But I went to school because a) I had to and b) because there were some classes I really enjoyed. In my case that was biology back in the day. Broaden the minds of the kids, don’t make them as narrow as your own is the only thing that comes to my mind.

The word indoctrinated in that little article made me laugh more. Isn’t the idea of indoctrination to make them think the way you want them to think. Mostly the same way as you think. I’ll let you put 2 and 2 together… provided your eduction involved basic maths, which I’m sure it did.

Sports shouldn’t be about having fun right?

This little news factoid caught my eye. It’s nothing shocking, it’s just that for some reason I can’t wrap my head around anyone not wanting a women’s footballteam wearing skirts? They prefer it, so they say and I’m sure the spectator’s don’t give a rat’s ass about it. It doesn’t get in the way of the game, right? Sure, the rules might have to be brent or changed, but how on Earth could that be a problem? Isn’t that part of what these people are for anyway? And here I thought it was all in good fun and sportsmanship.

Alright, I gave in…

In a bit of a rush, so it’s a quicky.

In the long long ago, when I registered this domain, I was all “I’m going to write this thing myself.” I tried, a little, didn’t have enough time and finally decided “fuck it”. WP will suffice once it’s properly modded.

Of course a friend of mine couldn’t resist to be all happy and start blogging himself, he even patted himself on the back for beating me to it. Damned drunk Brits – http://www.hattix.co.uk and his blog at /blogs.

In short, yeah I folded. I have better things to waste my time on, like bothering unsuspecting websurfers with ranting, raving, complaining and bitching since that IS what blogging is all about isn’t it? Maybe I’ll poke fun at some people too…
