Have fun with your nonsense

Published by Bobby Henderson October 8th, 2008 in Hate Mail (and concerned criticism).

Have fun with your nonsense because I am going to destroy all that crap you people spread. There hasn’t been a single evolutionist or atheist that has won or ever will win against me. Don’t believe me, see how many forum discussions on evolution that you can find on aol. Check out Adrienne Curry’s blog. I just started there but that’s just for fun. If darwin knew of me, he would have never come up with ridiculous theory that doesn’t have a single gram of sense in it. I will single handily take on any and all evolutionist and atheists in a nationally televised public forum, discussing evolution. And I will single handidly win. So enjoy it while it lasts, because it won’t last much longer.

   Re: #214 - November 5th, 2008

   ET, always a pleasure to read your comments. I was particularly interested in your response to the statement, “I am allowed to be close-minded so long as I’m right.” You asked, “How do you determine that your chosen belief is correct if you refuse to examine alternate possibilities? I was educated as a scientist…. One of the things you learn as a scientist is to accept the possibility that virtually anything you think you know MAY be proven wrong by new evidence. Evidence is crucial to the pursuit of science. Evidence is completely lacking in religions.”

   You are exactly right that evidence is essential to knowledge. I disagree, however, that “evidence is completely lacking in religions.” The critical element, here, is to define what constitutes “evidence.”

   “Evidence,” as used in science, is not the same as “evidence,” as used in religion. I am not arguing that both uses will lead to knowledge, just that the people using the word ‘evidence’ in each sense, are employing different definitions of the term. Unfortunately, this often leads to misunderstanding. Just consider how people confuse “theory.” In one sense, “theory” means an established explanation, based on independent principals. In another sense it just means a wild-ass guess.

   I’ll just make a very quick reply to 199 noodleguy – Post #199 October 29th - because I don’t have the time or energy to list the hundreds of thousands of cases of fanaticism and human rights abuses in Islamic countries regarding which for some reason noodleguy seems to have turned a blind eye… a factor which clearly negates his rather arrogant presumption to be an expert on these countries.
   Noodleguy, you claim to be “someone who actually knows a thing or two about Islam”…
   But then you say stuff like “there are countries out there that are actually quite nice, the UAE for instance.”
   I personally don’t really see what is “actually quite nice” about a country where the following human rights abuses take place:

   Migrants, mostly of south Asian origin, constitute 95% of the UAE’s workforce and are subject to a range of human rights abuses. Workers typically arrive in debt to recruitment agents and upon arrival are often made to sign a new contract in English or Arabic which pays them less than had originally been agreed. Visa and travel costs are typically added on to the original debt, and thus within hours of their arrival, workers often find that their debt-repayment time has increased significantly, possibly by years.
   Confiscation of passports is officially illegal, but in reality the practice is accepted by the authorities, and employers retain the passports of all of their semi or unskilled employees. All of the workers interviewed by Human Rights Watch in a 2006 report had had their passports confiscated. The kafala system of employment, which ties an employer to one employee and prevents him or her from seeking alternative employment without the expressed approval of the original employer operates in the UAE. Workers are therefore dependent on their employer for housing, wages and healthcare. The lack of proper enforcement mechanisms of the country’s ostensibly strong labour laws means that in practice employers can break the laws with little fear of prosecution. Accordingly, non-payment of wages, cramped and unsanitary living conditions, poor safety practices, physical and mental abuse are widespread.
   The issue of sexual abuse among female domestic servants is an area of extreme concern, particularly given that domestic servants are not covered by the UAE Labour Law of 1980 or the Draft Labour Law of 2007, which was heavily criticized by Human Rights Watch. The falling dollar has meant workers have been unable to service debts and the incidence of suicides among Indian workers has reportedly been on the increase. Worker protests have been heavily cracked down on with reports of collective expulsion and imprisonment. The government has ignored international pressure to introduce trade unions despite repeated promises to do so going back to 2004.
   From the perspective of international human rights law, the UAE is in violation of its obligations under the terms of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, in particular where its treatment of non-citizens is concerned. It is in violation of its obligations under the terms of the International Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women, particularly where its treatment of domestic workers is concerned. Recent initiatives to stamp out the practice of child camel jockeys have headed off criticism that it violates its obligations under the terms of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child. There is also an argument that the UAE is in violation of its obligation to stamp out the debt bondage which is widespread in its territory and furthermore that the state is itself involved in and profits from that debt bondage.
   Even though the UAE government has made some advances in the protection of human rights, the U.S. Department of State notes in its annual report on human rights practices that numerous fundamentalist practices and policies exist to the contrary.
   Guest workers are brought in from South Asia, and a common objection is that they are grossly underpaid as their passports are held by their employers. There have been many reports of unskilled workers getting underpaid, and complaints of segregation abound.
   The form of Sharia (the body of Islamic religious law) exercised in the UAE prohibits ’sodomy’, effectually outlawing any homosexual relationships. While the UAE tries to put on a public image of tolerance, homosexual behavior in public may get a person imprisoned and then deported.
   The UAE also does not allow individuals past retirement age to stay within the country without a job. Upon retirement, residents must return to their country of origin. People with TB, Hepatitis C and AIDS are also discriminated against, any non-citizen found with these illnesses may be deported.
   Discrimination in the workplace is common, prospective employers will specify religion, nationality (and even regional origin in some cases) and also specify the sex of required candidates within job advertisements. It is very common to have different pay scales depending on nationality and sex. Policies are in place in certain instances where state employers are required to fill in vacancies with UAE nationals, a process called Emiratisation.

   And this is only a small part of the multiple abuses and political corruption that take place in this most advanced and enlightened of Arab countries… I happen to have a friend who was a journalist there, and I can tell you that the above mentioned abuses are only the tip of the iceberg!
   But oh, if noodleguy the great expert says this place is “actually quite nice” let’s go there to be underpaid, exploited, sexual abused and beaten or even executed if we insult Allah or criticise His Great Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan!
   I can only imagine that noodleguy wore a burquah or hijab which completely covered his face so he couldn’t see anything during his visit to this “actually quite nice” place… and he has the presumption to call my comments “blatant idiocy”… now that’s what I would call blatant idiocy (if I was into gratuitous insults like noodleguy!)
   Maybe for noodleguy the fact that those who suffer these abuses are mostly mostly of south Asian or at any rate non-US origin means they are of little consequence??
   I think he shows his true colours when he says “And I would watch out about insulting Saudi Arabia, they’re our third biggest supplier of oil. And Bush is like best friends with their princes”… Well, I’ve got news for you noodleguy. Bush ain’t the president anymore! And the fact that he was best friends with their princes strikes me as an excellent reason for “insulting” them (although I’d prefer to talk in terms of criticising them rather than insulting them… it seems that you’re the one who’s into the insults!)
   Perhaps noodleguy thinks that just because “they’re our third biggest supplier of oil” and were best friends with Bush they should be supported and helped to continue with their fascist-style religious-based dictatorship and bloodthirsty fanaticism? Now that’s what I would call blatant immorality and a hypocritical defence of evil due to base economic interests (if I was into gratuitous insults like noodleguy!)
   I could go on and talk about the “worst” Muslim states for hours and hours but this info about the “best” of the Muslim states (even noodleguy would agree on that!) should suffice for now… and I don’t want to scare the children before bedtime!

   P.S. of course it would do some good to dark lord noodle (Post #190 October 27th) who bizarrely accused me of hypocrisy (one wonders if he knows the meaning of the word!!!!!!) to read the above post… he might actually start to understand what hypocrisy really is all about (although I suspect it may be a bit beyond his powers of comprehension, just for now).
   I sincerely hope that a careful reflection on the situation in certain Muslim countries will also help my dear old friend noodleguy to understand who is really closer to “NAZI GERMANY!” certain Muslim States (I won’t say “all Muslim States” Allah forbid!), or those who have the nerve and the clear-sightedness to criticise (I won’t say “insult”) them…
