On the elevator
Man: So, they have elected the Prime Minister of Belgium as President of the EU!
Woman: Yep!
Man: What do you think of it?
Woman: Well…
Man: Better than the Italian!
<general laugh>
Me: *sigh*
Need to pray? 5€, please.
I am not a religious person.
I don’t know if I should consider myself a pure Atheist, since now and then I do wonder who or what might be behind the creation of our universe and everything I care about, but let’s just say, the Church and their silly propaganda never managed to convince me in the slightest.
Even worse, when I see scenarios like the one in the picture below, it makes my stomach twist in anger like nothing else:
Apologies for the flash, but I had no chance to take another picture (I was almost kicked out for doing this).
What you see here is the entrance of the Cathedral of Our Lady, in Antwerp, Belgium.
Going in more detail, this is a CASH DESK positioned at the entrance of the Cathedral, charging everyone that wanted to enter the church five euros.
Now, am I the only one that thinks this is immoral, disgusting, and just painfully wrong?
I don’t care if the maintenance of the Church costs 1.5 million euros per year.
Ask the vatican for support, or let the priests do the maintenance themselves like the Benedictine monks do in their monasteries, instead of charging people for their right to pray in the house of a God they believe in.
Shame on you all.
In other news, this was the only bad element of an otherwise fantastic weekend spent with my girlfriend, we drove all the way to the medieval town of Bouillon, spent there the night and then visited Antwerp on our way back.
Will add pictures on my Facebook page soon!
Roman Polanski, welcome to hell
There are times when reading the daily news makes you sad, depressed, miserable.
Well, today is not one of these days.
Today I am extremely happy because the fucker on the left, Roman Polanski, has been finally arrested and will hopefully be extradited to the United States, where he will face trial for having raped a 13 year old girl back in 1977.
Mr. Polanski, don’t get me wrong, I think you’re a great movie director, but at the same time I hope you will suffer like a tortured pig for what you have done to that girl.
I don’t give a damn that you are a holocaust survivor, that your wife has been murdered, that after all these years that raped girl has forgiven you.
You will pay the consequences for what you have done, and I pray that your prison buddies will show you what kind of treatment is given to all the dirty pedophiles like yourself.
And to all of you that give this rapist bastard any kind of support: fuck you. Really.
Have a nice day.
