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,

"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.

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...."

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.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
