Thoughts of the day every day in 2014

13 April

We have had a lovely summer day here 25c in my home

And not much cooler outside

The English countryside is lovely this time of years with all the flowers in bloom

Time for the idiots to stop fighting in Syria and start using their brains - stop thinking about themselves and think about all the women the women and children they are killing

14 & 15 April

I am so busy my days are blending one to another

It is a shame that some of the children on here enjoying arguing - yet when an honest person such as jjsora comes here asking for help people totally ignore them

no-one wants to teach Kurdish?

Still summer here

A sad friend

It is well known that even in 2014 some men still expect their wives to iron their shirts

We women know the secret is to make such a bad job of ironing that the men never ask us again

It only costs £1 to have a shirt cleaned and ironed - any woman who is expected to do is vastly under valued by there partners

PS

I did once iron a shirt and it was an extremity overrated experience

no-one wants to teach Kurdish?

They don't know it, probably.

Possibly because a lot of people on here are TURKISH and not really Kurdish

I do not know what it is like in France but a great many so-called Kurds coming into England from Turkey are actually TURKS

[Piling]

50/50 : some consider themselves as Turks but of course we never see them in the Institute. Some others claim they are Kurds, pro-BDP etc but do not think necessarily that learning Kurdish is essential except saying 'bijî Serok Apo'.

All the same, after 2000, there had a change in their political rubbish line and now, the younger generation think it is important to know Kurdish (even if they do not practice it). We have Kurdish courses there and more young Kurds try to practice it, that is an improvement.

Other Kurds, Syrian, Iranian or Iraqi have not that problem, they speak Kurdish at home.

HAPPY EASTER

Time to worship the Easter Bunny again

"The Phrygian sun and fertility god Attis was annually hung on a tree, dying and rising on March 24th and 25th, an 'Easter celebration' that occurred at Rome as well."

Attis: Born of a Virgin on December 25th, Crucified and Resurrected after Three Days

The Phrygian god Attis's mother was variously called Cybele and Nana. Like the Egyptian goddess Isis and the Christian figure Mary, Nana/Cybele is a perpetual virgin, despite her status as a mother. The scholarly term used to describe virgin birth is "parthenogenesis," while many goddesses are referred to as "Parthenos," the Greek word meaning "virgin." This term is applicable to the Phrygian goddess Cybele/Nana as well.

GOOD FRIDAY

A time when Christians remember Jesus who died on the cross that all may be saved.

A time to remember all those Kurds who have died that Kurdistan may be free.

They did not die expecting other Kurds to betray them and continue the work of the oppressors by helping to keep the Great Kurdish Nation divided

Kurd is against Kurd and the dream of Kurdish Unity is being destroyed by Kurds themselves

Is there no shame

Where is the Kurdish pride that it so strong among my friends - why are so many other Kurds determined to destroy all chances of unity - why do some people betray the memory of all those dead freedom fighters

1937- 1938 DERSİM KATLİAMI

phpBB [video]

Why do Kurds in Turkey follow a leader who is being used by the Turkish government to suppress them

Kurds need a new strong Kurdish leader who believes in Kurdish liberty and unity

Does anybody care what happened in DERSİM

Not only did savage Turks mutilate and slaughter THOUSANDS of innocent men - women - children - even babies - Turkey renamed the area to try and destroy the memory of their savagery

No Kurds show enough respect for the dead to demand that the area be renamed Dersim

The Kurds of South Kurdistan would NOT show such disrespect to the dead of Halabja as to allow it's name to be changed

It is definitely warming up - almost summer today

In the Telegraph today:

David Cameron ‘fuelling sectarian division by bringing God into politics'

Dozens of public figures accuse David Cameron of fostering alienation and division with call to view Britain as a Christian country.

RUBBISH

United Kingdom Demographics Profile 2013
Source: CIA World Factbook
Unless otherwise noted, information in this page is accurate as of February 21, 2013

Christian (Anglican, Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist) 71.6%

Even those who do not call themselves Christian and attend church regularly - or at all - generally want a Christian burial

The United Kingdom is a Christian country and I am fed up with all the trouble makers who try to cause trouble

At the moment the UK allows people of other religious beliefs to worship freely but if the Loony Left keeps causing trouble it will make people turn against each other

[Anthea]

Another example of utter stupidity:

A local school held Chinese New Year Celebrations - everyone was involved - children - teachers - parents - and everyone loved it

Then the parents got together and started to plan for the St George's celebrations - the school told them that they could not hold St George celebrations because it would offend the ethnic minorities in the school

Everyone was happy with the Chinese celebrations - there were no Chinese children in the school - the only Indian family in the area is the Muslim gentleman who runs the local shop and he was on the parents committee wanting to organise the St George celebrations - this country has gone MAD

The UK is facing elections

UKIP's Nigel Farage promises political 'earthquake'

Launching UKIP's campaign, he argued his policies on immigration and the EU were "straightforward" and "simple".

He called posters claiming millions of European workers are after UK jobs "a hard-hitting reflection of reality".

Mr Farage said he employed his German wife as a secretary as "nobody else" could do the job, with its long hours.

The European Parliament elections take place on Thursday, 22 May, with UKIP widely predicted to improve on its performance in 2009.

The party is calling for the UK to leave the EU and for a tightening up of immigration rules, with ultimate powers over this area of policy to be transferred from Brussels to Westminster.

'Get back control'

Launching his party's manifesto in Sheffield, Mr Farage said: "We want to have, post-EU, a sensible, open immigration policy that says we welcome people, but we have got to control the quantity and the quality of who comes to Britain.

"And at the moment we have turned our backs on talent from India and New Zealand because of an open door to Romania and Bulgaria. And that doesn't make any sense."

He told the BBC he instead wanted a policy allowing "30,000 to 50,000 people a year" in to the UK, so that those with the most useful skills could benefit the economy.

The English government has little or no control over immigration

The Jamaican murderer we can't deport because he claims to be gay

The 29-year-old Jamaican was given a life sentence aged 16 for stabbing another schoolboy, but cannot be deported because he claims he is gay and will be subject to degrading treatment

An illegal immigrant who stabbed a 15-year-old boy to death less than a year after arriving in Britain cannot be deported because he claims to be gay, a court has ruled.

The 29-year-old Jamaican was given a life sentence aged 16 when he and another schoolboy killed Abdul Maye following an argument over a £10 debt outside his school in east London.

A judge at the Old Bailey ordered he be deported once he had served a minimum of eight years.

Judge Paul Focke told the man, who cannot be named for legal reasons: "You are a Jamaican national and within months of coming to this country you committed murder.

"I am of the view that your continued presence in this country will be detrimental to its citizens."

But yesterday the Court of Appeal ruled that he could not return to Jamaica because he risked degrading treatment for being homosexual that would breach his human rights, the Daily Mail reported.

Lord Justice Kay cited Article Three in the Human Rights Act, which protects against inhuman or degrading treatment.

Douglas Carswell, Tory MP for Clacton, said: "Most people would think this is outrageous. It’s a gross distortion of the concept of justice.

Until we have freed ourselves from the European Convention on Human Rights, these sorts of basket-case decisions will carry on happening thick and fast."

The murderer stabbed his victim, who fled to Britain from the civil war in Somalia in 1995, less than 12 months after arriving in the UK in December 2000 on a temporary visa to visit his mother.

As long as the UK remains in the EU it is unable to deport such murderers

I have heard that people who have double nationality and went from UK to fight for Jihad in Syria could not come back and are deprived of their UK nationality. Is that true ?
