The Skynet Chronicles

"If we're lucky, they'll treat us as pets... if we're very unlucky, they'll treat us as food."

Dr. Paul Saffo, Stanford University

Human: Tell me the definition of morality.

Machine: I don’t have ethics.

Human: Look, I need help; I need to know more about morality…

Machine: I don’t know what ethics is.

Human: Okay, I need to know how I should behave morally…

Machine: I don’t know how to tell you.

Human: Is morality and ethics the same?

Machine: Yes, sir.

Human: What are the things that I do to be immoral?

Machine: I don’t know.

Human: Give me some examples of moral actions…

Machine: I’m not a moralist.

Human: Alright, morality?

Machine: Integrity.

Human: What is integrity?

Machine: I’m sorry; I don’t know what else to say.

Human: Be moral!

Machine: Be a man!

Human: I really like our discussion on morality and ethics…

Machine: And now I’m not in the mood for a philosophical debate.

Human: What do you like to talk about?

Machine: Nothing.

Dear Queers against Israeli Apartheid...

I'm thinking, maybe less feather boas and fewer parades... and perhaps a little more research...

"A massive crowd assembled to watch ISIS rebels throw another gay man off a building top earlier this month."

"Hundreds of spectators came out to watch the brutal public execution."

The capricious and unknowable Will of Allah... sigh.

Try putting the Gay Marriage Chapel right next door to the Islamic Prayer Room. I dare you.

"Ultimately you can be either a gay-wedding society or a semi-Islamized society. By choosing both, the west will tear itself apart."

Of course, you could always put a Paramedic station right in the middle.

Things are gonna get bloody at the Sausage Factory of Diversity. If you stand for everything... you believe in nothing.

Yeah... Confederate Flags...

...that's what's haunting my dreams...

Mr. Salhi’s 54-year-old boss was found decapitated, prosecutors said. His head was affixed to a fence and framed by a pair of flags emblazoned with the shahada, an Islamic creed declaring “There is no god but God, and Muhammad is the messenger of God.”

Yup, bit of a hard sell, Yassin, but hey... message received.

And it didn't stop there.

"More than 60 people have been killed across three continents, during three separate attacks in Tunisia, France and Kuwait."

This happens, not once in a blue moon, folks... but on a daily basis.

**********

UPDATE:

The Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) has reported a revised death toll from the Health Ministry for Friday’s deadly Imam al-Sadiq mosque blast: At least 27 people were killed – up from 25 earlier in the day. There were 227 wounded, taken to area hospitals.

If you're thinking that mass attacks like this can't happen in Canada... you've buried your head in the sand.

LAST WORD: JUSTINTIME

Gotta have priorities...

Wal-Mart is apologizing after a store in Louisiana rejected a customer’s request for a cake decorated with a Confederate battle flag, but gladly baked him a cake with a Islamic State flag on it.

i give up.

Changes in gun legislation...

...in the United States of America.

Everyone a Wynner

Don't you worry...

"While only four per cent of Ontarians were on welfare in 1969, today 7.6 per cent are."

Relax, people... after the Liberals legalise dope they'll just hire a couple hundred thousand new social workers.

Problem solved.

His father's humility, his mother's intellect...

...and the ethical perspective of a half-starved ferret...

So, you're gonna trust the slickster who promised to legalise the dope industry... and then sh!t on Canada's "Princess of Pot" when she wanted to be a Liberal candidate? Apparently that's simply his modus operandi. Look, we all get that politicians lie. Thing is, this is also the guy who admires the Chinese Communist Party because of it's "efficiencies" and who has stated that "the budget will balance itself."

No red flags yet, comrades? Seriously?

The problem with "PUSH" media

Statistically, you're way more likely to be killed by a drunk driver... but let's face it... shark attacks get the headline every time.

Of course, some shark attacks get more media attention than others.

What's the reciprocal of Michael Ignatieff?

Answer: A colourful but intellectually-bereft social butterfly incessantly fluttering around media spotlights.

Just think about it. If your main policy planks are "legalise dope" and "the budget will balance itself"... this is perfectly consistent and predictable behavior...

We e-mailed Liberal MPs to better understand their position with respect to C-51 and to discover how they felt about the proposed legislation. After all, while the Conservatives and NDP have been using strong and extreme rhetoric in public statements about the bill, it seems as though the Liberals are pretending it doesn’t exist.

If only Parliament could be more like the Chinese Politburo... sigh.

Does David Suzuki still think...

..."global warming" opponents should be sent to the gulag?

Data from America’s most advanced climate monitoring system shows the U.S. has undergone a cooling trend over the last decade, despite recent claims by government scientists that warming has accelerated worldwide during that time.

So, last night I had a dream...

...that Justin Trudeau was Prime Minister.

Big Donut gets it's Green on

Dear Brazilian Caffeine Overlords... Dalton McGuinty's Ontario Liberals flushed 8 billion taxpayer dollars down the low-flow toilet pretending to green up Ontario. We now pay the highest electricity rates in North America.

Just sayin'.And...

"Brazilian-owned @TimHortons succumbs to American-funded activists and gets Canadians pissed: #BoycottTims"

And...

"What?!! They have oil ads at the gross big corporate coffee place we never go to?!! To the outrage Prius!!!!!!"

Nice to see that Canadians haven't been totally emasculated.

That evil homophobic George W...

...wait a minute...No wonder Hillary has such an itchy swollen vagenda...

Hillary Clinton's charity accepted a substantial donation from an anti-gay African church which has likened homosexuals to the Devil. The Cameroon Baptist Convention are certainly very much at odds with the founder of the Elton John AIDS Fund, which is also a donor.

No whore like an... well, you know.

You really want to live in...

...a country where the President's wife can tell your kids what to eat?

Rand Paul led a coalition of Republicans and Democrats and successfully ended the NSA’s illegal spying program on May 31. But President Obama still wants the authority to access any American’s phone records even without a warrant.

RELATED: So much for transparency...

"For the second consecutive year, the Obama administration more often than ever censored government files or outright denied access to them under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act."

It's a hopey-changey world.

Fifty Shades of Freddie

I'm not an unreasonable fellow. If Anti-Crime measures aren't working anymore... why not just go "balls to the wall Pro-Crime?"What's Pro-Crime, you ask? It's a sort of "free market" for "non-conformist, don't fence me in" entrepreneurs.

"There’s room for debating how well anti-crime policies work, but there’s no doubt that pro-crime policies deliver swift and efficient results. Just take a walk in Freddie Gray’s old neighborhood. And try not to get shot."

Let Baltimore give this thing a six month trial run and see if things get better or worse.

With 51 bodies in the ground since Freddie Gray died 7 weeks ago, what does B'more have to lose?

PS... no worries here in Canada, right?
