Yes, but how does she feel about Intelligent Design?...

Bardot is but one small crab in that fetid European cesspool of politics, but the interesting point beyond her own person is that in this instance, every party involved is equally deserving of contempt.


Big Lizard is firing on all cylinders tonight. Nice work, Boss.

Bottom line: Brigitte Bardot is not Oriana Fallaci, and comparing them can only tarnish the reputation and the character of the sorely missed Italian defendress of the West.

Bridgette Bardot was one of the sex symbols before I reached puberty, and I appreciated her looks, like Jane Fonda she had more curves than brains. If France convicts her they will be sending the wrong message to the Islamist "activists". From what I have seen she is toast in the French judicial system..

European laws regarding freedom of speech are a joke. I mean sending someone to jail for saying the holocaust never occurred is a travesty of justice. I may disagree against the stated opinion, but sending them to jail? As much as I dislike the media's infatuation with Marxist ideology, should we send them all to jail? Opposing opinions and debate is the cornerstone of western democracy. This is thought control.

Densely written piece.

So, Bardot's a bit of a fascist-racist. Many of her generation are.

It will be hard, in Europe, for anti-islamists to shed that encrustation that will accompany the increasing popularity of anti-islamist thought.

That encrustation will slow it down, for sure.

Its free as long as you stick to the approved line. Part of the reason we are a nation instead of a common wealth.
Some times I find myself in the position of defending a persons right to say what I very much disagree with, and some times I find myself objecting to the constitutionality of a law I think serves a very good purpose.

I put this in spin-off links earlier and about 60 people looked at it, but it discusses what happens in countries as the Muslim population increases - the article on Bridgette mentioned the size of France's Muslim population, and the article I put in spin-offs describes accurately, I thought, what is going on in France today relative to the percentage of its population that is Muslim. So, I hope no one minds if I simply go ahead and put the link again here:

for those who missed it in spin-offs but might be interested in reading this.

Killgore, I drew the same thing out of it.

Watching the video, here is a woman, who has risen above the ashes in a way that she has, really, escaped with her life, and these jack-asses are lecturing her as if she is some high school girl.

Sanctimonious jerks.

They are not fit to carry her water.

I would NEVER say that about you. Ever.

And I don't live in Coors country, more's the pity. Although I did enjoy the brewery tour.

Isn't the "You must live in [insert state name here]" assertion the sort of thing that you usually find on sports-related message boards, along with references to your mother, your ancestry, and your dental hygiene?

(I'll shut up now.)

Did you take the short cut?

On the brewery tour, no, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Enjoyed the brew, the scenery, the state. I wish I could be there for the convention!

.............lets hear it for globalization

"I went to another supermarket, and then another, and there was no butter at those either. Everywhere I went there were notices saying Japan has run out of butter. I couldn't believe it — this is the first time in my life I've wanted to try baking cakes and I can't get any butter," said the frustrated cook.

Japan's acute butter shortage, which has confounded bakeries, restaurants and now families across the country, is the latest unforeseen result of the global agricultural commodities crisis.

A sharp increase in the cost of imported cattle feed and a decline in milk imports, both of which are typically provided in large part by Australia, have prevented dairy farmers from keeping pace with demand.

While soaring food prices have triggered rioting among the starving millions of the third world, in wealthy Japan they have forced a pampered population to contemplate the shocking possibility of a long-term — perhaps permanent — reduction in the quality and quantity of its food.

A 130% rise in the global cost of wheat in the past year, caused partly by surging demand from China and India and a huge injection of speculative funds into wheat futures, has forced the Government to hit flour millers with three rounds of stiff mark-ups. The latest — a 30% increase this month — has given rise to speculation that Japan, which relies on imports for 90% of its annual wheat consumption, is no longer on the brink of a food crisis, but has fallen off the cliff.

Brigitte Bardot has about as much intellectual horsepower as Paris Hilton and adding both of them together it would sum up to less than that of a half dead mouse.

Bottom line: Brigitte Bardot is not Oriana Fallaci, and comparing them can only tarnish the reputation and the character of the sorely missed Italian defendress of the West.

Indeed- comparing a crypto-fascist to an anti-fascist demonstrates that the person making the comparison has no idea of that in which they are speaking. Simply because two people agree on the dangers of islam should in no way be enough to constitute equating them on all things- as recent threads at LGF have clearly shown.

But Brigitte, back in the day, was a truly sexy goddess-woman. Paris Hilton is wealthy white trash.

re: #71 JeremyR

Its free as long as you stick to the approved line. Part of the reason we are a nation instead of a common wealth.
Some times I find myself in the position of defending a persons right to say what I very much disagree with, and some times I find myself objecting to the constitutionality of a law I think serves a very good purpose.

By definition, "freedom of speech" is the ability to say offensive and unpopular things.

Its amazing how many people really do NOT believe in freedom of speech when it comes right down to it.
