Today I read in Dutch news about a thing called Jackass being (to my surprise) xtremely 'pop' right now over in the USA. Such things I have come to expect from the Japanese, but not Americans. With even more disgust I went on to read it will undoubtedly blow over to Europe like these crappy things always do to further stupify the bored and spoiled youth and young adults in the West....

I was unaware of this phenomenon and googled. I take it the following is a relevant site on jacka$$ing (with links)

Now, lLet me make one thing clear here once and for all:

The single one reason Sixpack expresses radical positions in this place is because I happen to be born on this side of Earth and try to make the best of it. Maybe I am usually even slightly more optimistic about its potental and future than most Euros. (against all odds)

However it is NOT because I am of the opinion modern (20th and 21st century) western culture is morally superior to that of the islamic side of Earth (sounds a lot like LOTR dunnit ?

In fact, the degradation of people over here in all kinds of ways is imo worse and more damaging to general human dignity than in most places in Middle E(arth) and Far East. We however call them backward. Go figure.

If I were born over there no matter rich or poor, I probably would have been anti-western. Violent I dont know, but severely 'anti westernization' most likely.

After this, I might have to reconsider my 'if I had the power' position on Iran this morning.

Have a nice day

If I hadnt kids at home, I'd be relaxing on my yacht in the S-Pacific, on an endless sailing voyage. Too bad tho' Polynesian paradise is lost already because of Westernization ans mass tourism.

PS Does the ffing FRench gov still test nukes in atols ?
