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

2 Killgore Trout  Mon, Apr 21, 2008 6:50:01pm
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.

There was a time where there wasn't much wrong with this woman. I am inclined to think that there isn't much wrong now.

I'm inclined to agree with DF. Her situation sort of reminds me of the situation with Lionheart - defend the rights of people to free speech, but that the individuals themselves shouldn't necessarily be held up as paragons of virtue.

No one can accuse the dissident frogman of being inarticulate.

But it would help if I were entirely sure exactly what's going on, I think. The new computer installation kept me away from far too much news last week.

20 Killgore Trout  Mon, Apr 21, 2008 7:04:02pm
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.

frogman rules!

21 Jonn Lilyea  Mon, Apr 21, 2008 7:04:12pm

After reading Frogman's piece, i still don't see how prosecuting anyone for recording and publishing their personal opinions, regardless of their content, is good for a traditional liberal society.

28 LoFlyer  Mon, Apr 21, 2008 7:06:49pm

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..

31 Bacchus's daddy  Mon, Apr 21, 2008 7:08:05pm

Her beliefs and associations may be tawdry, but the legal sanctions against her for her relatively innocuous comments is disturbing to say the least.

32 EC Marm  Mon, Apr 21, 2008 7:09:12pm

Whatever her politics and moonbatism, it was still pretty startling that what she said was considered criminal. Fwance.

33 soulpile  Mon, Apr 21, 2008 7:09:51pm

Ok, so I don't agree with her politics. I still don't think she should be prosecuted for her speech.

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.

58 Maine's Michael  Mon, Apr 21, 2008 7:19:29pm

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.

Lionheart was a special case, though. This is a person who feels that he is on a divine mission from God. He rants and raves on his website like a lunatic. I had a hell of a time believing the police we're even after him.

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:

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.

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.

Ploome, one only has to look at Stalin's Soviet Union or Mao's China to see what happens when the government gets into the food business. Looks like Japan needs to think about opening up it's markets to ag imports. North America is the "Saudi Arabia" of food and we are not a part of an "agricultural OPEC".

In an ideal world, or simply a decent country (present France excepted) Brigitte Bardot should definitely not be prosecuted, no matter how stupid or pertinent her opinions.
Yet it is happening no matter what, leaving one with the sole consolation to pick a side—if any—and decide how much one is willing to compromise.

Compromising free speech is not the option I'd choose. Thank God I don't live in France, Germany, Belgium, ...

She did quite well for being surrounded by lefties with the time constraints. Maher is really, really hard for me to take for more than 5 seconds, really condescending and sanctimonious.

I am serious. Are we looking at a fundamental policy change as it relates to the middle east?

I am convinced there are folks smart enough out there who take someone like Gore with a grain of factual salt, but realize in order to have a wedge against being indentured to middle eastern oil politics, see this as a means to manipulate the process?

Although Israel made the desert bloom, I suspect it would be near impossible for this to happen so far inland to generate a similar crop yield comparable to our inland.

We feed the world.

The middle east is making our lives miserable by decreasing output.

Are we making tough for them by decreasing the world food supply via domestic energy policy shifts?

Going to Israel poses another set of "BS" so to speak, and there is no other country that has an open door policy towards Jewish immigration.

israel seems far more desirable than europe. and i have jewish friends whose family immigrated to canada from so. africa. also they could apply to come to the u.s. staying in europe and doing nothing is not a good option.

re: #206 formercorpsman

This is from an old blog I used to read:

OPEC nations control 80% of the worlds known reserves of oil, and pump about 40% of its current supply. Analysts doubt that these countries have as much oil as they say they do because they dont admit to drawing down the tank, so to speak. Despite continued pumping, and despite having failed to find any significant new oil fields, their stated reserves remain relatively stable. And countries like Saudi Arabia keep investing in oil infrastructure with no obvious increase in production suggesting the Saudis might be working harder and harder to get at dwindling reserves.
-------------------------------------------

Any OPEC representative moving his lips is lying. It's all political jawboning. The problems with food supplies are complex. They are related to drought, misguided government policies, floods, urbanization of land, mega agribusinesses, lack of potash and other commodities for fertilizer, bad farming practices, etc. etc.

I've had those thoughts, however too many other factors are playing in to this current crisis for it to have been "calculated secret policy."

I think our part in it is really unintended consequence created by eco-lobbyists and corn lobbys along with the luddite camp. It's really the perfect storm for hunger.

The rest of the world is in it due to Kyoto treaty.

The low dollar and high energy prices of the moment are also key contributors to the problem. It takes a lot of energy to farm in a productive modern way.

Wow... I was linked to some great IAASTD reports on farm productivity with charts that showed how energy intensive farming is, but .... they've pulled like twenty PDF"s off the web. Wonder who's ox was gored by me linking?

If Brigitte Bardot is trying to save the French's derrieres for arguably petty reasons of her own, they should still thank her for saving their derrieres, and not prosecute her... as the tide of Islam floods into somnambulistic Gaul and promises to render all of their codes and traditions and liberties and meanings moot with intolerant, misogynistic, anti-intelligence, terroristic Sharia Law.

Quibbling over the (possibly) mean-spirit and (perhaps) small-soul of the defender of your life and freedoms seems absurdly irrelevant if they manage to save your civilization with their (flawed character's) still-valiant efforts.

Yesterday we butted heads about the FLDS crowd in Texas. I am some what on the side of the FLDS because I believe in freedom of religion. I also have seen how teen age sex can be bad given that so many teens wind up pregnant, or with serious problems.
My step grandmother was sixteen when she married my grandpa. He was thirty five. They were together fifty years. Contrast that to my step daughter who was diagnosed with HPV at twelve, and now has cervical cancer, or a tenant I had last fall who is dead at nineteen from AIDS.
We each have our world view, shaped by what we have encountered. I've seen too much of the bad side of premarital sex. As a father, I'd much rather see my daughters with successful men rather then twenty two year old bums (sorry Savage), even if the man is much older.
I have encountered many May November marriages, and few of them that were unhappy whether it was the man or hte woman who was older. In my case, My wife is a bit older then me.

re: #298 formercorpsman

I think you are asking VERY important questions. Oil is an international currency by virtue of its' necessity to everyday life. One of the reasons Iran worked to get an oil bourse is that it would like to see the U.S. dollar lose its status as the world's reserve currency. I recall that at the trial of some terrorist hijacker, he yelled "The dollar is dead" Lots of things all boil down to money; Or various commodities of equal barter capacity. Drugs are also an international currency, but not traded on formal world exchanges as are other commodities.

re: #295 profitsbeard

If Brigitte Bardot is trying to save the French's derrieres for arguably petty reasons of her own, they should still thank her for saving their derrieres, and not prosecute her... as the tide of Islam floods into somnambulistic Gaul and promises to render all of their codes and traditions and liberties and meanings moot with intolerant, misogynistic, anti-intelligence, terroristic Sharia Law.

Quibbling over the (possibly) mean-spirit and (perhaps) small-soul of the defender of your life and freedoms seems absurdly irrelevant if they manage to save your civilization with their (flawed character's) still-valiant efforts.

I don't think that's what Frogman is doing here. Simply because she's right about islam and should not be prosecuted for it does not make her worthy of being held up as a paragon of virtue, since looking more closely at her beliefs clearly shows she is no such thing.

Steroids stop all immune reaction (depending on the dosage) so any inflamatory response your body is producing subsides --i.e clogged sinuses. In low doses (like what you get for alleriges or sinus infections) they are relatively safe, with few side effects.

Still, you don't want to use them if you don't have to. They leave you open for other infections. Usually, the ENT or allergist gives them with antibiotics (to me anyway) because I am so prone to sinus infections.

When I am really sick I LOVE THEM. 20 minutes after taking one I am breathing fine.

I declare right now, I have no knowledge other than my own thoughts that circle the drain otherwise known as the grey matter in my skull.

At times I wonder, with the globalization that has occurred in the aftermath of the first gulf war, are we playing chess on the grand scale?

We anticipate China and Russia trying to put a thumb in our eye, but prefer not to take us out of the picture. I think most countries realize by now, in order to really make waves, decide futures, you need trade, revenue, capital.

We allow China enough rope to hang themselves, when they vote against real sanctions on Iran for violating the terms of the agreement with the IAEA. Sure, they make energy deals between them, sell military hardware, etc.

I try wrapping my brain around the system Russia sold to Syria and Iran right before Israel went in to Syria and took out that sight. Did we know, we could allow them to transact the deal for this hardware, and literally make it a massive investment failure by subsequent action?

Perhaps I am too tired right now.

One pro review of Bardot's book, passed through a Babelfish:

"Passed the hourvaris of circumstance after the televisual confrontation Fogiel/Bardot, one will be able perhaps peacefully to analyze the contents of this "cry", between revolt and nostalgia. One will not even retain in fact not large thing of this book for him, if it is not that it is a prolongation of this famous "shock of April 21" of which one us rebat ears with constancy. By a simple and direct language, neither particularly vulgar, nor particularly engraved, the BB delivers to us some reflexions struck with the corner of the good direction the aberrations of modernity (puffs out and its wastes, on the industrial treatment of the animal life...) and some remarks more than disrespectful the few citadels of politically correct which are, in bulk, Profs, the homosexual ones, unemployed professionals or the islamist ones."

Another review of Bardot's book, this one negative, via Babelfish:

I read this book by curiosity. I was not disappointed: it is null but I was warned. A judicious alternation of chapters to give a rate/rhythm to the book: a chapter on the animals, a chapter "shock", a chapter on animals etc... The proposed ideas are dangerous and invite to intolerance. Moreover, they are only a priori and preconceived ideas. As for the chapters on the animals... mouais, to read the book of a specialist as much. I strongly disadvise this book to you, which does not bring anything good, one is bored firm by reading it and one comes out from it nauseated per such an amount of lowness and intolerance.

You will probably think I'm nuts, but when my sinuses bother me, I take a good quality colloidal silver solution into an eye dropper. Then I put my head back and dribble a few drops into each nasal cavity. You have to do it more than once per day and consistently over time to make a real impact. Warning: it stings. In that case, sit up and try it a bit later on. It burns less each time. It is a major virus and bacteria killer and safe enough to swallow. I'm not a medical person. I've got a badly screwed up immune system and have tried lots of remedies.

I've tried all kinds of stuff. Saline is my new best friend. I use the pressurized cans of it like a neti pot.

Quitting dairy helps --but I don't eat meat and it's my main source of those 10 essential amino acids. So, I stopped it.

It is an alive legend, fustigates with this frank-parler which characterizes it, our company, its cowardices and its drifts; complicity in front of the injustice, the profiteurs of the system, the levelling down of our traditions and the values of France. This cry, its Cry in Silence, is a formidable call with the good direction, the freedom of expression and a return necessary towards confidence and the hope."

The really good colloidal silver solutions have 50-100 particles per million. I don't know how small the particles are, but you'd have to drink gallons of the stuff to have it show up anywhere IIRC. I have used it for years periodically for infections, and then I stay away from it until I need it. My brother-in-law gets sinus infections too and he's found that it helps. Steroids are a whole lot stronger. The army sent some troops into Iraq with socks that had silver in the fabric. The reason was that they got really bad fungus infections in the desert that would not heal. The silver woven into the socks helped stop them. That's what I've read anyway. I wouldn't swear to it in a court of law.

It was a little bizarre, I have to admit. I had never seen anything quite like it before or since. (Though recently I met a 16 year old who just delivered her second child).

None of them were what you might call "bright", though Great-grandma was clearly the "responsible" one, had a bit of life experience, and was taking care of the others. Appearance-wise, Great-grandma could have been a youngish grandma. Grandma was basically along for the ride in what seemed like a family event. Ma was a just a clueless little girl who probably should have been playing with Barbies (as you can imagine).

The baby was in the ER because she had swallowed an NSAID pill that one of the others had carelessly dropped/left on the floor, though the kid was 100% fine and happy.

Probably depends on the circumstances. Younger people and those just into a particular scene (like me, a new hatchling) get some credit for effort. That is precisely because putting forth that effort is an admirable quality, an end in itself.
