Swedish politician says, Africans have ‘child rape gene’; then, prefers not to backtrack

Presented without comment:
On his blog…(Mr.) Wahlberg, a 76-year-old retiree and one of the party’s more experienced members, published a post on the genetic characteristics of black Africans:
“For many thousands of years, the Negro could chill out in the heat, eat some bananas, rape some passing woman or child, fight with other negro males and eat them up, play the drums a little, run around a bit, catch an antelope, eat a few bananas, fuck a bit, get drunk on fermented fruits or herbs, and so on. This has been going on for millennia without any evolutionary pressure in the form of environmental factors forcing the negro to develop in another direction.”
Wahlberg told The Local on Friday that the quotes are all taken from the provocative Swedish political and media discussion forum Flashback, and are written “ironically”.
Nevertheless, he declined to distance himself from the broad content of the post.
“You could say that some parts have some truth to them. But generally speaking it is written with irony,” he said.
Oh, okay. just one comment: Man, those are some serious, gigantic, swingin’ Swedish baaaaaallllllls.

In the world of paranormal phenomenon (broadly categorized as “forteana” on this and other websites), rarely does one hear about the followup investigations. The media are always happy to publish wacky headlines in the interest of attracting eyeballs — more often than not, with a stale X-Files reference. But what about 10 years after the weirdness?
Mormons hope to be officially ‘regularized’ just like other ‘imported’ faiths in China

They may be Christianity’s retarded uncle who shows up at family reunions wearing brown shoes, blue slacks and a tinfoil hat, but the Mormons are everywhere — thanks in no small part to the church’s mission program. Young Mormons aren’t technically required to leave the safety of Salt Lake City to spread the wacky word of Joseph Smith, but it’s strongly encouraged.

When I was in Cambodia, a guy explained to me how corruption works in his country. “The man who is building, he tells the bank he needs four trucks of concrete. When four trucks come, he sends one truck to another building that he owns. Then he uses three trucks of concrete to make the building. In a few years, the building falls down.”
Suck it, Gutenberg: World’s oldest metal movable type found in Korea

And so it continues: The march back through human history toward a rewrite that includes more major players from the Far East. The Chinese already get grudging credit for pasta, fireworks, paper-making and a gazillion other things we take for granted. It makes sense — a thousand years before the Vikings, the Orient was already populated in a relative state of civility. (Hey, I said relative.) When my forebears were still shitting in pigskin bags, ancestral Japanese had no doubt already installed automatic flushing and warmed seats on their buckets.
Now, it’s Gutenberg who can suck it. No one disputes that printing presses were in use for centuries before the German bookmaker whipped up his famous Bibles. But he’s widely credited with first using metal movable type — not clay or wood — in a commercial manner. (Movable type is what made the printing press such a nifty thing.) Now a Korean professor claims to have original pieces of metal type that predate Gutenberg by at least one century.

On a cool March morning in 1979, employees at the Padron cigar factory in Miami’s Little Havana found a crude explosive device near one of the accounting desks.
Lucky for them, Cuban exiles are better cigar makers than bomb designers.

Focus on the Family’s abstinence education now being taught in China’s schools

You know how tobacco companies are giving up on the American market and instead shifting their efforts to developing nations to find their next generation of smokers? The same thing may be happening with abstinence education. Seems that Focus on the Family’s abstinence literature has been adopted by at least one school district in China.
According to GoKunming, ”The conservative American organization Focus on the Family gained its first major toehold in Chinese classrooms this past week. The Yunnan provincial education bureau has ordered high schools and universities to teach Focus on the Family’s ‘No Apologies’ strategy for rejecting premarital sex.”
Ruh roh.
If you’re not familiar with Focus on the Family, it’s a massive American “parachurch organization” that teaches (among other things) that:
- Children can achieve their goals and dreams without the distraction of consequences from sexual activity.
- Delayed gratification is essential to adult maturity.
- Learning to develop friendships without physical intimacy is essential to healthy marriages.
- Multiple sexual partners can be dangerous to one’s physical, emotional, mental and social health.
- Pornography is dangerous to the individual and society.
- Religious beliefs and heritage surrounding sexuality should be honored.
