Ban the burka

by Vlad Nistor on Jul.03, 2009, under Media

A new video from Pat Condell:

I agree that nobody should be made to wear anything, especially when it damages their health (vitamin D deficiency, depression). Why women agree to wear such clothing baffles me and the men who force women to do such things should be jailed.

Muslim women must learn that while they may not have any rights back home, they do in Europe. If muslim men can’t get used to the idea maybe they should just move back to where they came from and stop shoving their primitive beliefs and culture down everyone’s throat. Nobody is forcing them to move out of their native country and they certainly can’t ask to live by the same rules they did there.

I’m sorry that some of the Arab countries got stuck in the middle ages because of their decline after America was discovered, but it’s high time they grew up some and we have the duty to remind them of that!

BBC: Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestor

by Vlad Nistor on May.29, 2009, under Media

As per my previous article about Ida, the 47 million years old fossil found in Germany, I am currently writing an article about the significance of the findings. Until that is ready for publishing I invite you to view Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestor , the documentary which aired on The BBC, narrated by David Attenborough, a few days ago and which tells the story of Ida and the scientists working to uncover her mistery. I currently have three options you can choose from:

Ida, the missing evolutionary link found

by Vlad Nistor on May.25, 2009, under Media, News Articles

Last week, an international team of scientists have released information regarding a 47 million years old fossil they have been researching in secret for the past two years. If what they claim is true, then this is the “missing link” the anti-evolutionary camp has been complaining was missing for years and the proof scientists needed to show they were right in their assumptions all along. Scientists say Ida is the link between primates and the rest of the mammals, which is a great breakthrough for evolutionary science and a step forward in confirming yet again Darwin’s Theory of Evolution.

The team of researchers have released a website, a book and a documentary. The documentary will air tonight (9pm ET/PT) on the History Channel in the United States, tomorrow on NRK (Norway) and on the 30th on ZDF in Germany. The BBC has a version narrated by Sir David Attenborough entitled Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestor which will air on May 26th at 9pm on BBC One. For more information please feel free to visit the website at http://www.revealingthelink.com/.

The implications of this are enormous! I will be writing a follow-up article detailing the implications after I have had a chance to see the documentary and probably one more after I get my hands on the book. Until then feel free to have a look at the short presentation from the researchers’ website:

South Park makes fun of Christianity once more

by Vlad Nistor on Mar.26, 2009, under Media, News Articles

In the most recent South Park episode the writers make fun of Christianity once more. The whole episode is a parody of belief, substituting God with “The Economy” and Jesus with Kyle who is the only son of the The Economy and who is betrayed by Eric (Judas) for Grand Theft Auto for Nintendo DS. Enough spoilers for now.

You may remember South Park made fun of Christians in their first episode of the season. Read more about it in my post Mickey Mouse makes fun of Christians on South Park.

I recommend you watch the show, I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time!
