De porque no hay que hacer caso a los textos bíblicos – Criando Cuervos:

Lot salió de la casa y se dirigió hacia ellos, cerrando la puerta detrás de sí, y les dijo: “Les ruego, hermanos míos, que no cometan semejante maldad. Miren, tengo dos hijas que todavía son vírgenes. Se las voy a traer para que ustedes hagan con ellas lo que quieran, pero dejen tranquilos a estos hombres que han confiado en mi hospitalidad.” Pero ellos le respondieron: “¡Quítate de en medio! ¡Eres un forastero y ya quieres actuar como juez! Ahora te trataremos a ti peor que a ellos.” Lo empujaron violentamente y se disponían a romper la puerta.

- Génesis 19.

Nótese que la mayoría de los personajes bíblicos son auténticos imbéciles a disposición de los acontecimientos. En el caso de Lot su estupidez no solo roza lo insano sino que además por su posición como cabeza de familia logra situarle en un lugar privilegiado para promover las atrocidades a las que nos tiene acostumbrados el viejo testamento.

Y díganme si no es de ser subnormal profundo entregar a tus hijas vírgenes e indefensas para que sean violadas por una multitud propiciando un acto de total salvajismo contra dos inocentes. Todo para que “no les pase nada” a dos ángeles enviados por Jehová capaces de destruir una ciudad y a la multitud contenida en ella. Claro que muy listas tampoco eran sus hijas que terminaron practicando incesto con el viejo Lot…

Total, henos aquí que esta clase de gente se supone que son los precursores de nuestra civilización actual. ¿Te sorprendes que las cosas vayan tan mal? Tener a la biblia como libro de guía moral o consejo es a la vista de los hechos y los textos un error propio de un crio de seis años que habiendo visto algún capitulo de X-Men, cree poder volar.

Histrionic Personality Disorder

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:54:41 +0000

Histrionic Personality Disorder:

Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive emotionality and attention-seeking, including an excessive need for approval and inappropriate seductiveness, usually beginning in early adulthood. These individuals are lively, dramatic, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. They may be inappropriately sexually provocative, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and be easily influenced by others.

Associated features may include egocentricity, self-indulgence, continuous longing for appreciation, feelings that are easily hurt, and persistent manipulative behaviour to achieve own needs.

My partner and I have been keeping our relationship a secret from my family. Is there any way to tell my dad that I’m a lesbian without setting him off?

Lesbians are awesome. If your dad doesn’t like lesbians, he’s gay. You guys should make out in front of him and send me a video of it.

Schneier on Security: A Taxonomy of Social Networking Data

Schneier on Security: A Taxonomy of Social Networking Data:

At the Internet Governance Forum in Sharm El Sheikh this week, there was a conversation on social networking data. Someone made the point that there are several different types of data, and it would be useful to separate them. This is my taxonomy of social networking data.

Service data. Service data is the data you need to give to a social networking site in order to use it. It might include your legal name, your age, and your credit card number.
Disclosed data. This is what you post on your own pages: blog entries, photographs, messages, comments, and so on.
Entrusted data. This is what you post on other people’s pages. It’s basically the same stuff as disclosed data, but the difference is that you don’t have control over the data — someone else does.
Incidental data. Incidental data is data the other people post about you. Again, it’s basically same same stuff as disclosed data, but the difference is that 1) you don’t have control over it, and 2) you didn’t create it in the first place.
Behavioral data. This is data that the site collects about your habits by recording what you do and who you do it with.

Different social networking sites give users different rights for each data type. Some are always private, some can be made private, and some are always public. Some can be edited or deleted — I know one site that allows entrusted data to be edited or deleted within a 24-hour period — and some cannot. Some can be viewed and some cannot.

And people should have different rights with respect to each data type. It’s clear that people should be allowed to change and delete their disclosed data. It’s less clear what rights they have for their entrusted data. And far less clear for their incidental data. If you post pictures of a party with me in them, can I demand you remove those pictures — or at least blur out my face? And what about behavioral data? It’s often a critical part of a social networking site’s business model. We often don’t mind if they use it to target advertisements, but are probably less sanguine about them selling it to third parties.

As we continue our conversations about what sorts of fundamental rights people have with respect to their data, this taxonomy will be useful.

Traffic cameras used to harass and limit movement of peaceful protestors - Boing Boing

Traffic cameras used to harass and limit movement of peaceful protestors - Boing Boing:

Britain is full of license-plate cameras, cameras used to send you tickets if you’re caught speeding, or driving in the bus-lane, or entering London’s “congestion-charge zone” without paying the daily fee for driving in central London. And because of Chekhov’s first law of narrative (“a gun on the mantelpiece in act one will go off by act three”), the police have decided to also use these cameras as a surveillance tool, to “catch terrorists” (and other bad guys). So any police officer can add any license number to the database of “people of interest” and every time that license plate passes a camera, the local police force will receive an urgent alert, and can pull over the car, detain the driver, and search the car and its passengers under the Terrorism Act.

And, of course, police officers are less than discriminating about who they add to this list. For example, “Catt, 50, and her 84-year-old father, John” were added to the list because a police officer noticed their van at three protest demonstrations. And now Catt and John get pulled over by the police and searched as terrorists.

Jose A. Pérez » Alzacuellos:

Hace unas semanas nos enterábamos de que la visita del Papa a Madrid en 2011 costará unos 50 millones de euros. Se trata de un viaje privado que Ratzinger realiza en calidad de líder de su Iglesia y no como jefe de Estado. Del coste total de la visita, nuestro Gobierno se ha comprometido a pagar la mitad, unos 25 millones de euros, alegando que se trata de un evento de “especial interés” (no dicen para quién). A cambio de la subvención pública para la excusión papal, la Conferencia Episcopal, por boca del omnipresente Rouco Varela, se comprometió a mantener un “perfil bajo en las críticas” contra el Gobierno. Esto, traducido al laico, quiere decir: “si nos dais dinero, dejamos de hacer campaña para la derecha”. Lo más llamativo del hecho no es el afán usurero de la Conferencia Episcopal, sino la naturalidad con que se acepta a la Iglesia como un actor político más.

En España, la separación entre Estado e Iglesia es todavía un ideal lejano. La Iglesia Católica es el lobby más poderoso de nuestro país, capaz de montar manifestaciones multitudinarias, capaz de levantar debates sociales y enterrarlos, capaz de condicionar políticas sociales, educacionales y fiscales. ¿Quién necesita adaptarse a los tiempos cuando se tiene dinero y poder?

El Diccionario de la RAE define alzacuellos como una “tira de tela endurecida que, ceñida al cuello, obliga a llevarlo erguido”. Que la tela, pues, maquille el pecado capital de la soberbia.
