Pakistan floods

The floods in Pakistan is sad and help slack. I wonder where red cross and such organizations are these days? We do not see them like before. Something has changed big time in the world.

The Rate my Professors bug

I wonder if anyone has noticed yet that literally anyone can post on the "rate my professors" site and they do not have to be students. Imagine how well this will suit an envious colleague. Internet is becoming a moronic invention.

David Cameron

Must say Cameron is like a breath of fresh air in international politics. He says it like it is and it is quite a surprise that he even became the prime minister of Britain. Hopefully he brings about some change and peace to the world.

The Breitbart and Sherrod controversy

Whose fault is it that Sherrod lost her job because of Breitbart's edited videos? Who is responsible Breitbart or the Obama administration? This is a tricky question. In Sherrod's case it was clear that it was these videos that cost her her job. She was luckier than other people. How much of wrong edited information goes across the internet without the victim knowing it is appalling. It is high time laws become transparent about internet behavior. However there can be no laws against gossip and people who act on gossip are stupid like the current administration that fired somebody without checking facts.

WikiLeaks

Its high time that WikiLeaks came about. After all we are supposed to have free press in many parts of the world. Way to go Julian Assange.

Angry Whale

Stalking and harassing can get so bad that whales can lose temper. A whale flipped and landed on a couple's boat who I bet was bothering it. The couple deserve it and more.

Appreciating liberty

The Israel lobby or even the Arab lobby in America does not understand freedom of speech. The people who are in America who are from regions whose ancestors personally fought for liberty and freedom of speech understand it better.

Death by stoning

If Iran is practicing death by stoning of an adulterous woman, it is a shame. They need to learn about more civilized processes like divorce. How about chivalry in Iran? Whats with the men in Iran? If adultery is punishable by death then if the women's rights movement ever goes through in Iran a lot of men will die a painful death including Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani's lover.

The Grigory Perelman problem

Perelman declines a million dollar prize because he is opposed to the unjust practices of the organized mathematical community. At large the math community is not bad and in fact very good. But there is a pack hidden in there somewhere who harass decent mathematicians so much that if you have been a victim the lines blur from the good world from the bad. To get to the crux of that pack is the Perelman problem.

Lunatics

If Israel thinks that a person's higher education is not exceptional needs I can only think of them as lunatics. A person cannot live on bread alone.

Death of a model and some thoughts that surface

Actresses and models were among the first women professionals who made the big bucks. The "big bucks" is important here. And they have been the villified by the media and society and no alarm bells rang among women civil rights groups. No one villified doctors or engineers and the likes. But when the number of women making big bucks grows the strategy a male dominated world applied against these women will finally reach every woman who can make a living on her own. The men protect their very own existence by proving to the species that they are critical for the survival of the species by bringing in the bread. So lets take a moment, women, to take our hats off and salute these women who lead the way to financial independence and thereby a hope for respect for women kind.
