rock over London. rock on, Chicago.

today in my Criminal Justice discussion section, the meathead fratboy who just got done with a tour in the army claimed Iraqis have an “ali Baba mentality.” to the arabic teacher, no less.



fuck yeah.

so I signed up for free xbox live for two months, just to screw around and play Dave in Halo 2.



my screen name is “YourRetardedKid,” so when someone kills me, it reads “you just beat down YourRetardedKid,” or “you just laid waste to YourRetardedKid.”



yeah? well, fuck you then. I think it’s funny.

as the world bands together to reach out to victims of last month’s tsunami, it’s good to know that the Indian caste system is still intact. fucking untouchables.

nothing like a belief system to keep a third of the population in check.

Thousands of low caste Indian “untouchables” are being denied food, water and shelter by higher castes in camps for tsunami survivors.
-Rahul Bedi, New Delhi

Around 5,000 Dalits from the worst hit area south of Madras have been kept from aid agency water tanks and pushed to the back of long food queues.
Fishermen from the higher Meenavar caste also turned the Dalits, who they employed as labourers before the tsunami, out of shelters, gave them leftovers to eat and prevented them from using lavatories.
At one camp outside Nagapattinam, the Dalits were accused of polluting drinking water supplied by the United Nations and were told at another that biscuits being handed out were not for them.
When the Dalits asked for food packages and clothes, they were pushed away and forced to sleep on a nearby road because upper caste women said they did not “feel safe” with them around.
“There are no toilets here and the upper castes even prevent us from using the area which serves others as an open toilet,” said V Vanith, a Dalit teenager.
An aid worker, Miss R Indirani, said: “Since the Dalits are not getting sufficient food and water, we have started separate kitchens. We are also converting separate camps.”
Dalits, a third of India’s billion population, prop up its 3,000-year-old Hindu caste system, which is topped by Brahmans. A majority live below the poverty line and have no homes. They are associated with “unclean” jobs such as scavenging and cleaning lavatories and were involved in disposing of the bodies of many victims of the tsunami.

… while there’s still time. women and children first!
