Pinkerton: Holland At A Crossroads Between Cross-Ethnic Group Hugs and Survival

Which is the same problem we face here, of course; only we don't seem to be quite as ludicrous as the Dutch:

Can a threatened society rally to its own defense? Or will political correctness paralyze the survival instinct? Those are questions being asked here in the Netherlands, where an experiment in no-questions-asked multiculturalism is coming to an end. ...

In the aftermath of the killing [of fimmaker Theo Van Gogh], there was a spasm of anti-Muslim violence. About 20 mosques and schools were vandalized. Fortunately, no serious injuries resulted. But then the Dutch reverted to their standard touchy-feelyness. Students at a high school held a "group hug" as a "tonic against hate and violence in the country."

And although the churches here are notoriously empty, the Nieuwe Kerk has been jammed. Why? Because of a Moroccan culture exhibit that lets ethnic Dutch empathize with their new countrymen.

...

Shouldn't there be a serious effort to get to the heart of the problem, and to crack down where necessary? Muslims loom huge in Holland's demographic future. In the cities, more than half of schoolchildren are Muslim, and new immigrants are steadily trickling in. Ethnic conflict is real, and it can't be solved by hugging.

Read the whole thing.

It seems to me, by the way, that "hugging" is the main culprit behind most of the world's ills. From TV family therapist John Gray to trees to my annnoying drunk friend Stinky "I Love You, Man!" Ketchum -- hugging is just vile.

It solves nothing. Arms aren't made for hugging. They're made for shaking hands, eating balogna sandwiches, foreplay, working a lathe, and carrying a gun. Period.

Okay... Hugs are nice-- between people who are traditionally supposed to hug. And I mean parent-child hugs, boyfriend-girlfriend hugs, husband-wife hugs, drunk-girls-telling-each-other-they'll-be-friends-forever hugs, best-friend-just-got-back-from-Afghanistan hugs, etc.

Strangers should not hug. Ever.

Also, I don't like no one touching my stuff. So just keep your meathooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill you. And I don't like nobody touching me. Any of you homos touch me, and I'll kill you...*

*Corrected. It's still not the exact quote from Stripes, but internet political partisans are attacking me (probably on orders from Karl Rove) for screwing up "the flow" of Francis' line.

As I cannot verify my original quote to my satisfaction, I have to retract it, although I maintain the possibility that it was "accurate" even if not "authentic."

Another Correction: AndrewF provides the accurate and authentic quote, which I now use.

If I screwed up the quote before, I'd like to be the one to break that story.

Okay, no hugs then, sweetie, but here's a big, sloppy-wet kiss for you. You talk tough, but we know about that big, affectionate heart you're hiding. Deep down inside, you really do care.

By bumper sticker logic, if you're against hugs you're for drugs. Hippie!

"If any of you homos put your meathooks on me or my stuff, you're dead."

Lighten up, Francis.

Okay, I'll bite.

Lighten up, Francis!

Regarding the Dutch issue - shouldn't the immigrants be learning about the Dutch culture? Not the other way around?

Posted by: Carin on January 7, 2005 08:57 AM

Uh, okay, I read the article, and I agree that hugs don't work and that multiculturalism, as practiced by the Left, only serves to tear a country's culture apart in the name of 'tolerance.'

So, what is Mr. Pinkerton's solution? And, other than what I stated, what is his point? Is he saying that the filmmaker got stabbed due to multiculturalism? He didn't exactly link the two. In fact, if Mr. Pinkerton saw loads of drug use and prostitution he sure wasn't seeing much Muslim culture on display.

It sounds to me more like the Dutch are having problems because their idea of "laws minus morality" isn't working, and Muslim immigration is an effect, not a cause. In other words, if the Dutch are blaming the Muslims solely for an increase in domestic troubles, I don't think they're looking hard enough at themselves.

Don't get me wrong, I like Mr. Pinkerton but this article sounds confused, like someone edited the crap out of it.

Later,
bbeck

"If any of you homos touch my stuff....ILL KILL YA"

Posted by: Dave on January 7, 2005 09:40 AM

Nit-picker.

Posted by: ace on January 7, 2005 10:10 AM

"foreplay?....whats that?"

I'm not sure, but I keep hearing about it.

Posted by: ace on January 7, 2005 10:11 AM

It is, "Ill kill ya". Comes after a long lines of "I'll kill ya"'s. "You're Dead" kills the flow.

Sorry to be pedantic, but some things just have to be done right.

Posted by: AndrewF on January 7, 2005 10:14 AM

No hugs?

But Ace, we're brothers. And "brothers don't shake hands...brothers gotta hug."

Posted by: Slubgob on January 7, 2005 10:15 AM

What's that from? I'm stumped.

Posted by: ace on January 7, 2005 10:28 AM

It's going to be awfully ironic when they start exeucting homosexuals under sharia law.

Posted by: TallDave on January 7, 2005 10:40 AM

Brothers don't shake brothers hug is from Tommy Boy.

I don't know if you were teasing that you didn't know that.

Last spam.

The name's Francis Sawyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I'll kill you...."

"Ooooooh..."

"You just made the list, buddy. Also, I don't like no one touching my stuff. So just keep your meathooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill you. And I don't like nobody touching me. Any of you homos touch me, and I'll kill you...."

"Lighten up, Francis."

Posted by: AndrewF on January 7, 2005 11:14 AM

AndrewF beat me to it..."Tommy Boy."

"Did I hear a 'niner' in there?"

Posted by: Slubgob on January 7, 2005 11:15 AM

No, you Americans don't seem to be quite as ludicrous. You probably are.

Thanks very much for that observation.

It's a heavily armored (the pilot sits in a titanim bathtub) slow-and-low loitering plane with a massive minigun firing depleted uranium rounds. The capability it brings is the ability to just fly big circles over the country waiting for a target to present itself. This is a weapons platform for eliminating vehicles and personnel. Its first task might be strafing the seas, clearing out any remaining attack boats and minelayers.
Update: My ballpark estimate for a reasonable cost for a wildlife overpass (suitably padded to sate the thirst of Democrat grifters) was $15 million. Turns out, that was a good estimate. That's how much it cost Denver to build one.

Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.

Ami Kozak: Every single Tucker Carlson episode consists of him claiming he didn't say the things he said in the last episode
Also: this is the manipulation Tucker does that i hate the most. It's so cowardly. All he does is smear people (and Jews, generally), and then claim "I have nothing against [the person or group I just smeared.]" He'll even claim "I love [x], actually." Just again and again and again. It's all a lie, of course. A year ago he smeared Jews but added how beautiful he thought Israel was, and then two weeks ago, he said Israel is ugly as dog-shit and nothing beautiful has been built there "since 1948."
Just got this email from Dracula: "I love Van Helsing, actually, he's one of my personal heroes, if I'm being honest. I will claw the heart out of his belly and bathe in his blood before the children of Babylon, but I have nothing but respect for Van Helsing, actually. Love is the answer. Except for the followers of the Christ whom I am commanded to turn into my dark army of Satan. And I totally don't worship Satan, I just think we should listen to both sides. Hugs and kisses, may Van Helsing burn in the blood-red fires of hell throughout eternity, even though I consider him a close and dear friend, Vlad called Dracul."
