$cientology denies having social security numbers (gee, surprise… but WAIT!)
Apparently it was just "newspapers talking shit", which is not entirely impossible of course (even though ALL of them said the same thing), but what also isn’t definitely impossible is that the Church of $cientology is talking shit. So let’s have a closer look on what happened in the past few days.
Both CPR, the Central Person Registration office, and Scientology Denmark state that private companies can’t obtain CPR numbers, but just names and addresses if the CPR number already is provided.This raises a few questions:
#1) Why on earth do organizations, such as the Co$, together pay DKK 44 million for a service that your average Joe can obtain at the city hall?
#2) Even if there’s a senseful answer for question #1, then it shouldn’t be forgotten that there’s a whole black market in CPR numbers. Criminals steal them, and sell them to whoever wants their lil’ greedy hands on these numbers. Is it plausible that the Church of $cientology, a cult who sees their members rather as investments than as human beings, might do business this way?
#3) Let’s say question #1 AND #2 are totally out of the question (lol)…. then check the fuck out of this:
In Denmark, when you donate to humanitarian organizations, such as Viva Net and Ibis, you can get a tax deduction off your donation. You do have to provide your CPR number then, since the tax office is involved with it.But how about this: The Church of $cientology actually has a front organization, Unge for menneskerettigheder which is classified as a humanitarian organization (wtf? See page 3!) and they too offer the tax deducting service, meaning then that people have to provide their CPR-numbers.Worryingly, that fruity lil’ club isn’t the only front organization…. Co$ got a whole damn network of them (read the rest of that page too btw, it’s pretty damn insightful). Be on the safe side: avoid these organizations.
So fuck me sideways and call me Tom Cruise, if that doesn’t lead to some social security numbers, then I don’t know what does.Well… I think it’s safely to say though that the Cult of $cientology does speak the truth about one thing: they definitely want to get back in touch with their former members.
C.o. $cientology has your social security number / $cientologi Kirken har dit CPR-nummer

Vice-president Danish broadcaster demonizing muslims
For 49 years Ole Hyltoft was a member of the Social Democrats, but fairly recently he joined the Danish People’s Party (DF), a conservative and nationalistic party, because Hyltoft doesn’t agree with Denmark’s immigration policy any longer.Hyltoft, the vice-president of Denmark’s national broadcasting corporation DR, exclaims his new DF membership with an opposition to Islam.
To Ritzau Ole Hyltoft says that he gladly supports DF’s efforts "to keep a deeply reactionary and violence-oriented ideology such as Islam away from Danish culture."Mogens Jensen, culture and media spokesman on behalf of the Social Democrats, feels that Hyltoft is attacking Islam as a whole, not islamic fundamentalism and therefor is demonizing an entire religion.
Jensen: "It’s shameful, that DR, having an important task with intigration, has a vice-president demonizing all muslims — also them who work and integrate in the Danish society." and Jensen added: "His statements show that he is not working for a DR for all, but wants to exclude a large group in Denmark."
DF’s Søren Espersen, who previously has been a board member of DR, can’t see any problem.He says: "We have no problems with muslims, but with islam."

The Singularity of Ray Kurzweil
With the rate of improvements in technology, it’s plausible that we reach a point where computers are advanced enough to self improve and eventually even able to merge with people.This would be the singularity and considering the technology improvement rates, theoretically it would be developed by 2045. That would mean simulation of all human brain regions and even the ability to apply modifications to our brain through nano technology.This conclusion is made by Ray Kurzweil.
With this introduction, see more for the explanation of this theory.
Deleted by YouTube; 8 years of `presidency´ of George W. Bush
The following videos were banned some while ago because it contains explicit images of some pretty disturbing results of the Iraq war.It’s fair enough that YouTube deleted it I guess since they have to draw a line somewhere, but it got all started after some gun crazed dude was quite likely the one who flagged it simply because he didn’t agree with the thought and didn’t seem to be able or willing to go into serious arguments. After all, flagging stuff that you don’t want to see is much easier.So much for the freedom of expression then, where conservatives quite often kind of act like they have some sort of copyright on that by the way.
Yes. I DO realize that the war in Iraq made *some* achievements, most notably the apprehension of the dictator Saddam Hussein.And my intention is not to make Americans in general look bad. Many people who serve the US Army for example are good law abiding people who really try to make a positive change for their country and for the rest of the world.However, thousands of the exact same people had to pay the full price for a war that is widely regarded as unwarranted and extremely reckless, not to mention the millions of affected Iraqis, of which most of them are, surprisingly to certain folks, not terrorists but plain civilians trying to make ends meet pretty much.
