Fit to Blog Part Two
We see the culture of entitlement at work in Denmark, where a disabled man is demanding government financing for his prostitution habit. Read some of the statements in the article:
And...
And who can forget...
The right to have a sex life does not include a government entitlement for some lunatic to pay women to sleep with him. This is pretty much the most ridiculous thing I've ever read, and it's horrible that it's coming out of the great nation of Denmark. Unfortunately, given the state of European morality and economics, this isn't that surprising. Only in Europe could a man get away with saying that the government not paying for prostitutes to get to his home is an infringement on his right to a sex life.
In other news, a commission in England has found that a great deal of the Tsunami aid was wasted. Here's a BBC link as well. I can't say as I'm surprised; that's what happens when you give a ton of money to international "aid" organizations. Not only is there the threat of "poor communications", but there's the threat of bureaucrats being handed what essentially amounts to a blank check. At least I know that when I donated my fair share to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, the wasted money benefits American companies and workers in the long run. That, or Swiss and Caribbean banks.
And the Supreme Court is addressing a doctor-assisted suicide law out of the state of Oregon. I've done a bit of research on this particular law. As far as I can tell, the actual "right" to assisted suicide is pretty flawlessly written into it, so on strict legal grounds I'm not sure what merit a case to discard it has. The Supreme Court is specifically addressing the aspect of prescribing drugs to do the job, which is seen in part as a violation of federal laws restricting narcotics and such. I don't favor the law, though I acknowledge that voters in Oregon have apparently voted twice in favor of it. The issue of federalism alone begs for this law to be left alone; on the other hand, it seems as if this is such a massive violation of the Founders' intent when they created this nation that it should have been struck down a long time ago. I'll keep track of this as I'm able and continue to comment on it.
And I'll cover one more story in this go around. Apparently the Iranians and Saudis have postponed a conference due in part to Saudi concerns over Iran's influence in Iraq. Ladies and gentlemen, I think this could be a good opportunity for some of you to acknowledge that the Saudis are doing the right thing this time around. *crickets chirping* I'm waiting...
"I want them to cover the extra expenses for the prostitutes to get here, because it's a lot more expensive getting them to come to my home rather than me going to a brothel," Mr Hansen told BBC World Service's Outlook programme.
"It's a necessity for me. I can't move very well, and it's impossible for me to go there."
And...
[At a social center], he and other disabled people were taught that if they had needs, they "could do something about it".
"I had a strong desire to have sex, and I think I gained the confidence around that time to get the call girls to come to me.
"Since then I've had a lot of escort girls coming to see me - but I've also had girlfriends."
And who can forget...
"It's unfair to deny people with disabilities the right to a sex life," he added.
