Britian is implementing Sin taxes:

Many Britons were resigning themselves to more puritanical lifestyles
Thursday as they faced the prospect of "sin taxes" that will increase
the cost of alcohol, cigarettes, gas-guzzling cars and, potentially,
plastic bags.

Basically all of life's little pleasures that may give your sorry existence a chance to have a reprieve from your shitty every daily life. Oh yeah, and Plastic bags. Hmm… Yeah, I can see where they are coming from..wait, no..I don't. Plastic bags are sinful? When did that happen? Did I miss a day in school or something?

The Labour Party government is hoping that hiking taxes on booze will help curb Britain's binge-drinking culture.

Ahh, so they are doing this for the good of their citizens, even if they disagree? Ahh, those great guys at Labor, they know what's best for you , to the degree that you won;t even be given a choice in the matter. And here I thought it was just a ploy to collect obscene new amounts in tax money to waste and plunder! Silly me!

Their army is..not doing very well..

Berlin – German soldiers are overweight, smoke too much and do not
engage in enough sports, according to a report published Tuesday by the
parliamentary commissioner for the defence force. "Male and female
soldiers are too fat, partake little in sports and pay too little
attention to what they eat," Reinhold Robbe said in his official report
to parliament. He called the situation "shocking."

In the 18-29
age-group, military personnel are in worse condition than their
civilian counterparts, with 40 per cent of soldiers overweight against
35 per cent in the general population, according to Robbe. Despite the widespread availability of sports equipment in the army, more than 20 per cent don't engage in any sports at all. Robbe also noted that an alarming 70 per cent of military personnel were smokers.

Bismark must be rolling in his grave! 

They have to be. I mean, their "men no adjustee their junk in public" ruling was absurd enough, now, the italian courts have given women who cheat on their men a license to lie.

Italy's highest appeal court has ruled that
married Italian women who commit adultery are entitled to lie about it
to protect their honour.

The court gave its landmark ruling after hearing the
case of a 48-year-old woman, convicted of giving false testimony to
police by denying she had lent her mobile phone to her lover.

The appeal court did not agree that she had broken the law.

It said bending the truth was justified to conceal extra-marital relationships.

he he he he he! Allright! 

The Frenchies are not happy with his newest educational proposal to teach 10 year olds stories of 10 year old jewish kids who were killed in the holocaust. Now, yes, I can see how many people could find this distasteful on the ground of the children's age, but one has to wonder if the age argument applies anymore. I mean, no one would've said anything if this was taught to 12 year olds, and since 10 is the new 12 (goddamn you growth hormones and mentally stimulating technology),I am not sure that it's problematic on the grounds of age. It is, however, problematic from the view of indoctrination. Sure, Anti-semitism is on the rise in France, but is this really the best way to combat it?

Damn those Europeans and their strong currency!

Gotta love the russians.

The governor of Ulyanovsk region in Russia is
offering prizes to couples who have babies in exactly nine months – on
Russia's national day on 12 June.

Sergei Morozov wants couples to take the day off work to
have sex. If a baby is born on national day, they will receive cars,
TVs or other prizes.

All jokes aside, there is something very peculiar about intiatives like this or like the one the Pope is endorsing, and it outlines a growing yet unspoken fear amongst leaders of western countries that the white europeans are declining in numbers. People in western countries are not that interested in reproduction anymore, and more interested in leading happy carefree lives. However, with the immigrant populations (read:nonwhites) increasing in numbers, in 20-30 years white secular europeans might not be the majority in europe anymore, which could pretty much mean the end of their culture, and, more importantly, their hold on power.

There are adjustments being made of course, and contingency plans underway. The Christian churches are now concentrating on poor african and hispanic countries to find new members who are not afraid of having babies. The US political parties are slowly realizing that whites won't be the majority soon anymore, which is making courting the Hispanic vote a must if they hope to survive and continue on the long run. But until now,  west europe- with all of its opening of borders with eastern european countries to increase the numbers of whites to counter the "darky immigrants"- has been proven to have the biggest problem: Its birthrates declining, which is affecting their economic structure and future, its muslim population is increasing exponentially and they are starting to play politics and demand europe to adjust to their culture, and its population couldn't care less either way. So maybe such intiatives are necessary after all. Get white people to have sex and make babies. Whatever it takes to win the demographics war!

I am not sure that under Putin it ever ended, but now the US seems intent on joining in!

For hosting videos that insult Ataturk. The model secular islamic state everyone.
