Nothing to Say.

“Nothing to say”, I say it – you say it – we all say it. And what do we mean? Are we too shy to talk? We are – but is that the point? Are we afraid; afraid of what, then? Afraid to reveal ourselves, expose our weaker sides. Exposing the belly like a hedgehog turned upside-down by a badger to freely access the insides.

Who is that greasy-looking man with the vile voice? That slick hair and those empty eyes hiding the psychotic fire? He is the David Cameron. He and his ilk, the Tories, the Liberal Democrats, and their would-be greatest ally where it not for the vestiges of a time when there was a difference, if ever so slight, New Labour – parties with no ideological differences whatsoever – they dance now in orgasmic celebrations, revelling and firing off their guns, as do their fellow travellers; the writers of the Euston Manifesto, or the pseudo-intellectual tirades of imperialist apologist Howard Bloom. Massacres of decency proceed at rapid rate. Developments of some positive aspects continue in Greece, with a hopeful eventual second great collapse of financial markets to follow as Spain and Portugal get to face the business-end of capitalism’s loaded metaphorical shotgun.

But where have we gotten since last we spoke? Are we still just sitting in the quicksand, slowly sinking? Going nowhere? Probably. Dark clouds on the horizon challenged still any hopes for a better tomorrow. All over the world, vilest architecture now abound; weak post-modernist imitations of functionalism leave cities full of wicked scars of tasteless shit. The architectural regurgitations, the visual vomiting of relentless leaders of the armies of filth; there he stands, that vilest of men; Sir Norman Foster, proud of his latest rape of urban space. His buildings metamorphose into vulgar displays of genitals and sex-toys, twisting mazes of tools of defilement, fat-rich cakes tipping over for the wind; symbolism and abstract displays of shapes for no reason whatsoever; a mile high his terrible taste like rotten apples in my mouth; why is he allowed to continue, why is he not stopped? His crimes against urbanity, humanity, history and time and space, why has he not been stopped yet?

And Santiago Calatrava, him too, shall be put against the wall for his crimes! Yes, we will never forgive, Turning Torso and his wickedly nauseating museums and cultural buildings, the Milwaukee Art Museum, what a rape of visual and navigational senses, destroy it, blow it up, no value, empty; soulless abstractions to distract from reality, “exciting, exciting, how unusual and exciting!” they shout, the dregs with passion for the abstract, the revolting new design for the World Trade Centre site; REVOLTING, REVOLTING, THE VILNESS OF THE UAE. DEMOLISH AND REBUILD DUBAI, you’re doing it wrong. Your soulless shopping hell-hole and capitalist haven is built on the backs of the dead immigrant workers that you discarded like the used condoms and un-processed refuse you dump into the Persian Gulf. DEFILE THE LANDSCAPE OF THE WORLD NO MORE WITH YOUR VILE BUILDINGS, SIR NORMAN FOSTER; YOU TASTELESS HALFWIT LIBERATED FROM ALL ACCEPTABLE TASTE.

CRUSH. SQUISH LIKE BUGS, THE INGRATES!

International Mafia Firm – IMF

And the Liberal Conspiracy with gusto resumes its attacks. It will never stop until it drops dead. This time, the assault is centred on Greece, with peripheral attacks under European Union leaderships in Portugal and Spain, and to some extent, Ireland. “Greece poses a threat to economic stability of the EU,” they say. The faith of investors is at stake, and to earn their ideological respect, they are willing to do anything. As always the insane dogmatic Friedman-loving nutters whose diseased ideals infest the offices of most of the worlds economic consultants, start rambling nonsense about how all economic trouble are the result of political interference in the economy.

Which brings us back to Milton Friedman. When politicians decide to rule economic and monetary issues, the results are usually catastrophic.

There is nothing economic that is not also political. Economics is politics. This however, cannot be debated with those insane Austrian school religionists, dogmatic lunatics as they are, since they do not believe in statistics and proposing theories but just spout their retarded opinions as self-evident facts, and therefore insist that economy exists beyond the political, which is simply not true. This does, however, reflect a certain abominable trait in post-modern thought, the tendency of de-politicisation, the attempt of many streams of thought to claim that there is the political and the economic and the social, that these are separate spheres. They are all a part of the political. Everything is political.

The intelligent thing to do would of course be for the Greeks to leave from the poor policies of the ECB and the Eurozone, and re-establish their own currency, no longer bound by the insane requirements of the liberal obsession with inflation fighting and decision to ignore not only unemployment but also currency over-valuation; all for the purpose of fighting inflation, a useless aspiration insisted upon by the mentally ill liberals, the Austrians, the Chicago-school and other similarly ill-fated beasts. Then they would be free to devalue the currency, and to ignore the profanely stupid regulation prohibiting any budget deficit larger than 3% of GDP at the penalty of fines and other political restrictions, known in the liberal crowd as “austerity measures”.

The golden rule for every nation should be to never loan money from the International Mafia Firm (IMF).

Nonsense.

Bright light on the horizon, the economy improves. Austrian-school doomsayers proclaim the end is nigh, it’s the forty-second time since old Freidman the Pig died, such things happen when you are a fan of a dogmatic economic-ideological cult. Travolta the washed-up actor goes to Haiti, brings scientologist missionaries, psychotic and delusional as he is. Hoping to use the situation and suck the poverty-laden people so long suffering under the pesky attempts by the U.S. at neo-colonialism and political intervention dry.

Now of course, the new military intervention in Haiti under the guise of humanitarian support – has already begun. “Humanitarian support”, they say, “security enforcement”, newspapers print nonsense stories of dead human bodies used as “barriers” by “people desperate for help”. Violence by the Haitian police, and then, more news stories from the gutter press that rules the world, the media empire of psychotic lunatic Rudolph Murdoch and related power moguls, DANGEROUS AT NIGHT, IMPOSSIBLE TO DELIVER AID AND SUPPORT—

Nonsense, nonsense.

Moscow Housing Estates

Death to TollRoadsNews

Toll Roads News, a “journalistic venture” by some liberal cretin, is truly the stuff of legendary nightmares capable of inducing suicide, heart attack, coma and even death in some.  Such generic, and furthermore excessively stupid, nonsense is vile. A pro-toll propagandist, to this end using liberal rhetoric that surely finds fans amongst the anti-tax and individualist imbeciles, a vile monsterous perversion of all sensibility of any worth–

CRUSH THE TOLLCISTS!

Yokoyoko_Kamariya_Tollgate01

Anyway, let’s closer examine the idiocy of this nonsensical “background” article closer:

Around the world there’s an upsurge in toll roads because tax financing is not producing good enough highways.

Of course, this is strictly not true. There are several reasons that a State would want to pursue toll road financing rather than tax income and public spending; but “good enough” (quality) is not one of them. The state might have very limited funds available, or desire to shift the responsibility onto a body which it in turn can blame (to avoid it self being blamed) for any potential problems that arise with the execution and operation of a motorway or a system of such.

The reason for this “upsurge” is many, but this “upsurge” is largely illusory outside of parts of Europe and the U.S. Much of the world has for long time had motorways being primarily tolled networks. British advisor’s in the 1950′s encouraged Japan to establish a network of toll roads to speed up the development of new roads and infrastructure.  In the U.S. and Europe, those politicians and organisations arguing for the establishment of more toll systems (many always have and still do, exist) use various ideological arguments at times to justify their decisions, arguing from (like the author of that moronic piece of yellow “journalism” that is the TRN) the liberal market-loving perspective, but the true reason is simply one of cheapness. The U.S., burdened by the perverse disease known as Congress and the corrupt Senate, full of failed politicians the brain-dead American public constantly vote in and cherish like the sacred cow of liberty, has for long time been unwilling to provide funding for roads, and thick-witted local governments remain just as unwilling and inexcusably inept. Thus, they ponder different solutions, and one of those is giving the mission to a corrupt money-hungry investment banker, the vilest devils of them all; a good example of this kind of verminous dregs are the filthy criminal scum of Macquarie Infrastructure Group.

Voters reject tax hikes because they don’t get highway value for the tax dollar.

Voters reject tax hikes because most of the time they are short-sighted idiots, something politicians and corrupt commercial enterprises like to encourage. This is not always the case however. Phoenix voted yes to a series of tax increases to fund the regional motorway network, and Phoenix is a terrible desert hell-hole. This has nothing to do with “highway value for tax dollar”, a majority of voters don’t think in such terms, and furthermore, even if they did so, there would be no meaningful way of comparison, no picture complete to make it easy to comprehend, the geography of the matter is far too complex. Something our intellectually challenged “journalist” would have a hard time understanding.

And they are frustrated by congestion on inadequate overloaded roads & tie-ups which cost tens of billions in wasted fuel, missed meetings, downtime from work, and unnecessary pollution and accidents.

Oh, personalisation of the problematique, great. Never fails to convince idiots of whatever you’re trying to sell.

Tolling is a way to build and rebuild roads without having to resort to taxes. Toll roads dip into the capital markets for their funds, not into taxpayers’ pockets.

Capital markets funds came from nowhere. Typical liberal rhetoric, “not into tax payers pockets”. Alluding to the whole “tax is theft” argument. If something is theft, property is. Propertarian cunt.

It’s the fairest system and the most efficient…

As fair as fair tax. Never seen that nonsense before.

And the prospective toll revenues will often allow special measures such as the complete undergrounding of roads in environmentally sensitive areas, special services such as separate cars-only roadways, and electronic guideways for hands-off, feet-off driving (the ‘automated highway’) to make roads safer.

Prospective. An often absent prospect, I might add. Since when is the automated highway a good thing anyway? It’s basically an new form of that old stupid concept of Personal Rapid Transit. It’s as stupid and loathsome as flying cars. And those other things apply to tax-funded projects all the same, but to be honest, roads are rarely tunnelled due to environmental concerns. As is known, at best, it only shifts the location of the pollution. It’s generally done to satisfy whiny NIMBY’s and people whose idea of environmental concern is fighting something they think is “ugly” from being near them.

Because of the logic in favour of tolling

Shit logic.

major new road projects around the world will mostly be built as toll facilities

Not because of your great toll-logic, even if so.

And increasingly as old highways need rebuilding private sector funds and management will be needed. Tolls will be the way people pay.

Fuck your system.

The important thing is they all bring highway service into the market economy.

Oh, no, I know where this is going. Do you?

Change is difficult. The automobile is an intensely ideological contrivance and its associated infrastructure is equally controversial. An important part of elite opinion dreams of a return to rail transit and bicycles, and opposes most new provision for motor vehicles. Populists denounce tolls as “taxes” and assert that “we have already paid for roads” in gas taxes.

ELITE! Is that the so called “liberal elite” (meaning soft-centrist social-liberals in the U.S.)? We can see from what political perspective this person speaks. He speaks for the liberal capitalists, the children of the 1980′s, the Raygunites, the psychotic lunatics, the raving insane, for the owners of investment banks, for the supporting pillars of world capitalism. You’re not being controversial, your controversy is an illusion. You’re perfectly in line with what is expected.

Tolls are not taxes but the price for a service. Now that service may be well or poorly provided. It may, or may not, be considered value for money. But the user-pays principle of tolls – that those who benefit from a road pay directly for its use – is good.

No. The user-pays principle is always bad. That’s the argument of those who oppose any social programs. “Why should I pay for their (insert some nonsense about homeless, hobos, drunks, criminals as slurs for poor people) health care/ education / whatever?” Mind you I am not a supporter of the price system whatsoever however. But this is not about what I want. This is about how vile this person is.

So army engineers have built roads and general taxes have been used to finance them, but in the early days of the industrial revolution the most common method was the corvee, or forced labor. Each able-bodied citizen was required to present himself with pick, shovel or other tools to work for several days per year fixing the local roads & or else send a substitute. ‘Pitching in’ for the common good worked when the people doing the work were the ones who benefitted so the corvee sometimes worked on a very small scale, but most roads are used by outsiders and the people doing the work then resent it.

“Why should we slave away, take time off from our income-producing job when the guy who benefits is that merchant passing through or those sightseers going by?” they ask. The ‘corvee’ was described in the late 18th century in England as a “ridiculous farce” because of evasion, favoritism, loitering and general ineffectiveness (p101) In Virginia citizens eligible for statute labor were described as “working out the road tax” and taxed the equivalent hourly wage rate if they failed to show up for statutory road work. Like other kinds of taxation the corvee was seen as unfair and oppressive and enlightened thinkers argued for the user-pays principle.

Enlightened scum argued for the user-pays principle. Notice also the intentional induction of “forced labour” and the comparison of this with taxation (as well as classic liberal slurs, “unfair” (poor rich folks worked so hard to earn their honest money!) and “oppressive”, totally original nonsense. Fuck you.

“When the carriages which pass over a highway or bridge…pay toll in proportion to their weight or tonnage, they pay for the maintenance of those public works exactly in proportion to the wear and tear which they occasion of them. It seems scarcely possible to determine a more equitable way of maintaining such works.” So wrote the famous thinker Adam Smith in his “Wealth of nations.”

What’s with this use of the strange wording “thinker” anyway? Fuck Adam Smith. Fuck the Wealth of Nations.

At a time when Americans (and many other peoples) are skeptical about the value they get back for taxes paid seeking loans and investment secured against toll revenues is often the only practical way to finance needed new roads

Blah blah. Ugh. I get a headache.

Only overhead gantries such as those used for signage are needed for the electronic toll ‘readers’ and for video license plate recognition cameras. In this way electronic tolls can be collected more economically than road taxes and are less likely to be squandered by politicians and bureaucrats!

Typical anti-tax liberal American.

A further major advantage of tolls in the era of microcircuitry and electronic communications is that toll rates can be varied by time-of-day to help combat traffic congestion and guarantee a swift trip through to those who really need it, as measured by their willingness to pay a premium for that privelege. As the stop-&-go traffic on the urban highways of America and Europe make painfully clear, highway space is a scarce and highly valued commodity, especially during rush hours. The prices of food, telephone calls, fuel, airline seats, metals and many other items vary according to supply and demand to the benefit of consumers and suppliers alike and there is every reason why urban highwayspace should do the same. It will provide revenues to improve transportation facilities, help transit compete, and persuade those who can reorganize their movement to leave the scarce roadspace to those motorists who need it most. Best of all it will offer people choices & spend less, get less or pay a premium for premium road service. It’s the way the rest of the market economy works.

So much for being controversial. The market economy is failure.

Such toll projects if properly implemented will be win-win reforms.

Reformist! I hate reformists! Shitty reforms at that.

“There’s a simple solution to this traffic problem. We’ll have business build the roads. And government build the cars.”
- Will Rogers quoted Bay Area Council

Liberal humour is so unfunny.

“There’s no such thing as a free road. There’s a toll road, or there’s a taxing road, or there’s no road.” Our adaptation of an IBTTA (the tollsters trade association) slogan. 1996

If free is the absence of the price system, then there is such a thing as a free road. Tollroad Pigs Lobbyist Propaganda Association.

“Road building is not a government monopoly any more. Those days are over.”

- Federico Pena, US Secretary of Transportation, Transportation Research Board address, Washington DC, January 8, 1996.

Again, what a surprising thing for a populist idiot to say. Since when was road building a government monopoly anyway? The only thing that has been anything even remotely approaching that is planning and funding… But idiots, etc.

Apparently the ingrates in the Netherlands are planning to enact a road pricing scheme… sickening– the world is spiralling into an abyss of failure the likes of which never have been seen before.

In closing, Toll Roads News suck.

Commieblocks of the World (Pt. 1)

Some form of large-scale and high-rise public or social housing estates exist in most of the major cities around the world. Their characteristics are different in many regions, and sometimes drastically different within a region, sometimes depending on from where certain influences have come. In some areas, there are even subtle differences and unique designs occurring in different regions of the same nation. This will be a multi-part series on so-called “commieblocks”, so named for their prevalence in the SSSR and nations in their sphere of influence. To some extent, they have evolved independently in many places around the world for the same purpose – to provide cheap but relatively high-standard housing to the masses. They are rarely built to this day with a few exceptions; in Russia, Japan, Turkey and Hong Kong, new estates are still going up. In the west, the concept and design of those buildings have become considered as discredited by social problems most clearly illustrated in the United States.

United States

177nj

In the United States, the city of most interest regarding housing estates is obviously New York City. The New York City Housing Authority has a great number of housing estates of some size, providing some 8% of the city’s flats and homes. As is to be expected from a country like the U.S. , the NYCHA is underfunded and delegated to managing by the best of its abilities an aging housing stock in dire need of renovation. Most of the housing estates were built during the 1950’s and 60’s, with the help of Robert Moses, a man who has been insulted in such rubbish books such as “The Power Broker” by Robert Caro, a piece of character assassination blaming motorway construction rather than other social factors for the decay of inner city New York.

The housing estates of New York are generally speaking of a poor standard, even when ignoring their poorly kept status. Often they were built on the cheap. In many of the older towers, there are no balconies. An interesting design is featured on the Luna Park Houses in Coney Island, next to the old Coney Island Amusement Park (what’s left of it) and on the site of the old Luna Park site. Built in 1959-1961, the 23 story towers feature a central elevator tower surrounded by an open space that serves the purpose of hall and a communal balcony. The flats are arranged in four wings connected to the communal balcony and elevator tower in the middle. The areas around the towers consist of lawns and trees, playgrounds and various recreational facilities. A metro station is found in the south of the estate, the West 8th Street – New York Aquarium station. There are five towers in the estate. They were also featured in the videogame GTA IV as the “Firefly Projects”, though significantly scaled down.

Close by is also the Peter Warbasse Houses, consisting of 5 more conventional but nevertheless interesting and in the New York area unique design. Also of some note in the Coney Island area are the Sea Rise Apartments, a greyish white brutalist complex of buildings of varying heights, to some extent reminding of classics such as the Trellick & Balfron Tower’s in London. Most housing estates in New York City have brownstone and brick façades, but the Sea Rise Apartments offer a pleasant change from this with stark grey concrete and curious alignment of building components, as well as an ornamental treatment of the façades themselves. The estate was completed in 1974 and has three tall sections of each 24 stories. Elevators for the complex are provided in elevator towers external to the main building bodies, clinging to them like ladders.

Of further interest in the area are (in Brooklyn): the Linden Plaza Houses (built over a metro yard) in East New York the many estates of Brownsville, Brooklyn, the Tompkins Houses and the Lindsay Park Houses (22 stories and with renovated balconies), the Bushwick Houses, and many more. Of special interest in the Bronx are the curious Morrisania Air Rights, a large complex of three towers with some brutalist ornamentation, tallest one being 29 stories and completed in 1980, the Concourse Village Apartments, six towers of 25 stories each in a more traditional commieblock design, completed 1963-64. Along the East River of Manhattan all the way up to the Trans-Manhattan Expressway, plentiful wonderful housing estates can be found, particularly the wonderful 27 and 26-story Esplanade Garden Cooperative complex deserves mention, found between 145th and 147th streets and 7th and Lenox Avenue, next to the Lenox yard of the New York Metro.

Last but not least deserving of a mention is the wonderful estate of Co-Op City, featuring wonderful towers in a nice park-setting on the outskirts of Bronx in Baychester. Co-op_City_Hutch_River

Housing estates do exist elsewhere, but they have typically been demolished, as in the case of Pruitt-Igoe and many of the estates in Chicago (Robert Taylor Homes, Cabrini Green) and replaced by the incompetent and fail Chicago Housing Authority with hideous so called “mixed-income developments” or exclusively more up scale housing.

News Roundup and intellectual malaise

Even the more democratic nations which are controlled by the people have problems instilling complete order over their populace.

-Imbecile on the Internet

Time sure flies. The stupid pothead lights another joint and flips the page in the book on conspiracies. September eleven images flash by on TV, and the pothead sighs. “You’re all just sheep”, he says to himself and return to the book.

It’s coming quickly now, coming? It’s here, already, everywhere, no escape. Scuttling across the alleyways and hanging outside the doors. A dark sinister shadow that haunts every step, a luring horror from beyond that clutches for you with skeletal arms – the pandemic. 12 years of fear: and now, it is here. Like the fires across the world in the last weeks of the life of the dinosaurs.

People lament the loss of pathetic pop-phenomenon Michael Jackson, they cannot shut up about what a loss it was, and what an important figure he was in the world. Lunatic Latoya spawns conspiracy theories like any inhabitant of an insane asylum; after such a childhood, mental illness is unavoidable. Meanwhile, in Tehran, opposition leaders are bothered by a loss that was visible years ahead, shouting election fraud in a manner similar to the Indian opposition following Indira Ghandi’s election in 1971. Despite opinion polls clearly indicating almost to the exact percentage the result, absurd claims hail from the opposition, and even more so, from the Western media. Apparently, people in an official’s home town will always vote for this person, as though it is some tribal thing. I guess that is how the West views the Middle East, tribal. The West of course, as always, has an opinion of how things ought to be done – everything is their business after all, masters of the world as though they no doubt see themselves. Moreover, the West never distrust expatriates and exiles. Like it matters who wins an election; the power will remain in the same hands.

In Tibet too, the Government in Exile and the expatriate forces are the one’s shaping the western perception of the Tibetian issue; not only in Tibet (Xizang) but in Xinjiang as well. Again, expatriates and exiled lying morons such as Rebiya Kadeer, seen presenting various unrelated pictorial “evidence” at a press conference as evidence of police violence in the handling of the riots (Police violence, what a surprise!). The west, as always, assumes that a so called “oppressed minority” is always honest and sincere (apart from their own minorities), and seemingly incapable of doing anything wrong, as though they were not at all themselves involved in and responsible for a lot of violence in the recent riots. Instead, it’s presented as a question of “peaceful demonstrations” – regardless of the context. Rowing gangs of ethnic groups seeking to attack the other ethnic group on the streets, and yet, the fundamental rejection is simply that of the police action in itself (contexts be damned); and the police’s pacification then, an action that is fundamental to the very function of the police force: U.S, U.K, China or Iran, becomes vilified in one moment and praised in the next.  As though the West does not try to handle violent riots themselves with the same violence – and for that matter, since when does the West really handle peaceful protests well, what with Kettling and suppression of protests in relation to WTO, G8 and G20 summits and various other events anyway?

Point is of course, that the West has no qualms about supporting certain movements they would not like to see at home when they are bothering the enemy – perhaps a bit of the old notion “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” – perhaps, funnily enough, originally derived from a Chinese proverb.

THERE ARE NO CULTURAL RIGHTS.

“[...]… colonists [the han-chinese] who want to replace us with their own people and assimilate those of us who remain, wiping out our culture.” -Erkin Alptekin

Gun Nuts? Fuck your rights.

Shoot yourself. Decapitate. Eviscerate.

A Parents Guide to Preventing Homosexuality

The world holds many repugnant and absolutely astoundingly stupid things. This book is one of them. This book, in containing many errors and what appears to be wilful misunderstandings of terminology and their relevance to the subject they claim to represent, is surely the product of some Christian conservative nutter, in turn the product of a religious camp with a degree from a Bible-study diploma mill, you know, to give them an aura of authority, to allude to the existence of some flashy degrees.

In this groundbreaking book Joseph and Linda Ames Nicolosi uncover the most significant factors that contribute to a child’s healthy sense of self as male or female.

As ground breaking as the notion that grains of sand might get stuck in your shoes after an evening at a barbecue on a sandy beach. Again, the idiotic authors seem to correlate gender identity to sexual preference, which is always a foolish and inane thing to do, a mistake many uneducated dregs commit themselves to perpetuating.

[...]…give practical advice to parents for helping their children securely identify with their gender.

Again, meaning what? Many homosexuals have no issues identifying with their own gender. In this focus solely on the gender identification of a person as the source of sexual preference, it seems to suggest that all homosexuals are actually anything from gender confused to transsexual.

Replete with personal stories from parents, children and ex-homosexual strugglers, A Parent’s Guide to Preventing Homosexuality offers compassion and hope for all those parents who seek to lay a foundation for a healthy heterosexual identity in their children.

Making the error to suggest that a sexuality is anything but a preference and alluding to the fact that heterosexuality is healthy. No sexuality is healthy or unhealthy. Some behaviours can be unhealthy, but those have nothing to do with sexual preferences as such. A sexuality is, on it’s own, indifferent, it does not mean anything other than just that, there is no obligatory package that follows with. It is a foolish mistake to assume that trends that have become ingrained in a community, a cultural sub-group of some homosexuals, (the same applies to any such group, however) as a result of social reaction, history, and other sequences of events, are the result of the sexual preference. This is not the case.

Because of it’s history as a isolated and ostracised group, what is today known as the “homosexual community”, or whatever, has evolved something of an identity of it’s own, but not every homosexual would subscribe to their behaviour, views, ideals, etc. Personally I think they are a typically self-centred, materialistic, hedonistic and short-sighted. This is however just one group, a group which, as you might guess, has nothing really to do with the sexual preference as such; think of it is a club, a fraternity where people meet and discuss, those people share ideas, concepts and thoughts with each other; it’s just that as a requirement to join the club, you have to be homosexual. This does not mean that all are members of this club. And I’m not talking about self-repressed “ex-homosexual” Christian converts either.

What parents can do to make a homosexual outcome unlikely is to lay the best possible foundation for their child’s secure gender identity.

Again this absolutely idiotic assumption is made.

We also believe there is evidence of a “disability” in the homosexually-oriented person’s feeling of not being comfortable with members of their own sex, of feeling “different” and inadequate, and of course, in not being able to function according to their biologically mandated sexual design.

I am at loss of words. All of the statements made reflect an inability to comprehend the fact that the subject at hand is very complex. They at least have the professional honesty to admit that this is simply theorising in proclaiming “we believe”; yet the last statement rapes with gusto any credibility they might have garned in doing so; proclaiming that biologically mandated sexual function, i.e. reproduction, is the only valid one is a very fatal mistake. It fails to understand the many different purposes sexuality can fill, for example, sexuality is not exclusively for reproduction, sexuality is also a social activity. This is not only something that occurs in humans, but animals as well. The more socially advanced species usually are more inclined to have portions of the population being bisexual or homosexual.

There is a proven higher level of psychiatric disorders suffered by homosexually-oriented people, even in very gay-friendly countries like The Netherlands. This, including the high level of gay promiscuity and the interest in perverse practices–the search for what gay men call “sexual variety”–is suggestive, we believe, that nature’s design is heterosexual. Furthermore, the gay world is very destructive to our communal understanding of healthy gender identity and gender roles, to the stability of the traditional family, and to our integrity as persons who are designed to live in accordance with our created natures.

Which is where their true Christian fanatical ideals shine through. As I have tried to explain earlier, this association of promiscuity with sexual preference is a mistaken one, which really has it’s origins in a cultural trend rather than the sexuality as such. It should also be said that many heterosexuals are very promiscuious, though this is not as hotly debated, and less effort and money is spent on producing reports on this subject. Furthermore the authors show their ignorance by spouting generic tripe such as “communal understanding of healthy gender identity and gender roles”, and the age-old cliché regarding the “traditional family”, a nuclear family, that I might add, is a historically recent concept. Thereupon follows what appears to be a gross misunderstanding of biology and well, anything, and revealing the religious indoctrination of the authors in suggesting we as humans are “obliged” to respect the “created natures”. Again, this disregards the actual complexity of human life, sociality, the human brain, etc, and only shows that those authors are but propagandists out to sell their books to the religious fanatics of the world, for their use as “proof” in debates with those who disagree.
