Izaberite šta vam se čini značajnijim...
Moj izbor:
21 July 1865 - In the market square of Springfield, Missouri, Wild Bill Hickok shoots Dave Tutt dead in what is regarded as the first true western showdown.
Pozdrav.
mislim da je inkvizicija ostavila dubljeg traga na istoriju čoeka no tih par koraka 'velikih za čovečanstvo'... :(
Verovatno jeste. Na primer, juče šatl sletio bez problema i niko ni da pisne o tome. Ljude zanima jedino kad šatl eksplodira.
A inkvizicija je danas evoluirala u borbu za moralne vrednosti, pa se malko teže prepoznaje... :roll:
Blejde, moj personalni favorit je: 21/ 7 /1873 - Jesse James and his gang pull off the first train robbery in America taking $3 000 from the Rock Island Express in Adair, Iowa. :lol:
U je! :lol: A sad, nesto u istom stilu :
21 Jul 2005 - Solana poručio srpskim vlastima : "Vi sredite Mladića, ja ću Crnu Goru" (Blic arhiva).
Pozdrav.
Ne terajte me sa tim "na današnji dan", imam toga beskonačno.
Nego, a propos moralnih vrednosti, evo baš danas piše Rojters kako se u nekom homoseksualnom gradiću u SAD pojavila seksualna diskriminacija. Ali, prema "breedersima". I posle recite da ih ne treba pobiti...
Šta je homoseksualni gradić? Mislim, kako može jedna geografska lokacija da bude homo ili heteroseksualna?
Quote from: "angel011"Šta je homoseksualni gradić? Mislim, kako može jedna geografska lokacija da bude homo ili heteroseksualna?
Pa 'ajde razmisli sama šta je to što bi neko mesto moglo da okarakteriše kao "homoseksualno". Prvi normalan i logičan odgovor koji smisliš je tačan.
Ma, znam ja šta si hteo time da kažeš, nego ti formulacija nije ispravna, pa bockam.
Mislila sam da će neko tvoje inteligencije da prepozna bockanje i bez smajlija.
Imaš link za vest?
Moje inteligencije? Mhuahahahahaha!!!
QuotePROVINCETOWN, Mass., July 20 (Reuters) - Provincetown, New
England's summer gay capital, is facing a rise in harassment
and discrimination. But this time it's straight people who say
they are being ridiculed as "breeders" and "baby makers."
Less than a decade after a successful campaign to end
violent paroxysms of "gay bashing" in the beach town at the tip
of Cape Cod in Massachusetts, police and town officials report
a resurgence in tension between gays and straight people.
Police Chief Ted Meyer said straight people complained of
being called "breeders" over the July Fourth holiday weekend,
and that in one serious incident a man was charged with
assaulting a woman who signed a petition to ban same-sex
marriage in Massachusetts, the only state where it is legal.
Equally troubling, he said, Jamaican workers in
Provincetown say they have been the target of racial slurs.
"It's been a series of issues," Meyer said.
The flare-ups in a town that overflows in summer with a
colorful mix of gay couples often openly holding hands or
kissing, cross-dressers and flocks of curious tourists coincide
with a planned vote this year in the state Legislature on an
amendment to ban gay marriage -- a measure that has rallied
activists on both sides of the issue.
Gay-marriage advocates have set up a Web site --
www.knowthyneighbor.org -- that publishes the names of people
who have signed the petition, including at least two locals in
Provincetown who say they have been singled out and verbally
abused by gays since their names appeared on the Web site.
Town officials said the town is struggling to strike a
balance between protecting the right to freedom of expression
for petition signers, and ensuring its gay majority contain
their anger at what many see as an assault on their hard-won
right to marriage.
Police would not classify the slurs and name-calling as
"hate crimes." But a town meeting was called last Friday to
discuss whether social attitudes were changing in the gay
resort village with a population of 3,431 that swells to 60,000
in summer and includes a large number of Jamaicans.
'HELLO, YOU'RE IN OUR TOWN'
"We have business that we haven't talked about as a
family," Town Manager Keith Bergman said. "The impact of the
same sex marriage petition is high on that list."
Some gays expressed shock at being accused of
discrimination after years of suffering harassment.
"There are still a lot of straight people who treat gays
badly," said Steve Bowersock, 35, an artist who owns the
Bowersock Gallery on the town's main Commercial Street.
Bowersock, who was once married to a woman, said he moved
to Provincetown in 2004 with his partner because it gives gays
a political voice. He admits he sometimes discriminates against
straight people he finds offensive
"If there's a straight couple and I hear them in the
background going 'oh fags', I'm like 'hello, where the hell do
you think you are?' So in turn I get mad," he said.
"If I see someone nervous like a big butch guy, and you can
just tell he's a redneck, I'll grab my partner and I'll kiss
him. It's not being mean, but 'hello you're in our town'."
The Rev. Henry J. Dahl, pastor at St. Peter's Church, said
several of his parishioners had complained to him of being
singled out and verbally abused after signing the petition.
"I don't think it's totally unexpected that there would be
some reaction to people who signed the petition," he said.
"Let's just hope we can have civil discourse."
Joe Solmonese, president of gay rights group Human Rights
Campaign, said the petition signers invited trouble by taking a
position that says "loud and clear that you believe that gays
and lesbians should be treated as second class citizens."
Heh. Zabavna vest.
Kad je već spomenut Rojters, osnivač je rođen 21. jula 1816 (ovo ja pokušavam da ne trolujem topik totalno).
1925 - završeno "Majmunsko suđenje". Na kaznu od 100$ je u Tenesiju osuđen nastavnik koji je predavao o evoluciji, suprotno tadašnjem zakonu po kome je kažnjivo "to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals."
Inače Rojter je bio valjda prvi nemački dopisnik AFP-a.
A šta fali trolovanju. Jebo "Na današnji dan", ima toga gde 'oćeš.
