Iran is Not Rational. It?s Part of the Islamist Death Cult Wed Jun 18, 2025 09:00 | Clive Pinder
The West?s Cold War-era doctrine of mutually assured destruction relied on rational actors. Iran is not rational, says Clive Pinder. It is eschatological. Islamism is not a deterrable enemy. It is a theological death cult.

Why Do Sceptics Abandon Scepticism When Faced With Claims the Government Could Block Out the Sun? Wed Jun 18, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile
Sceptics lose all their scepticism when faced with claims the Government could block out the Sun, says Ben Pile. But this is no less a delusion of grandeur than the idea human CO2 emissions are controlling the temperature.

Lots more there too, for the next four years. Condoms and Catholics made the news headlines.
Condoms ought to be freely issued by family planning clinics surely.
I think it is wishful thinking to demand free access to condoms, lubricants, spermicides and other acccompaniments to safe easy sex. Since the liberating 1960s sex has become a recreational commodity and in the world of market driven commerce this commodity along with all other commodities has been advertised with a view to exploiting its profitability. It has become one more superhyped item for sale, an erotic part of the consumerist culture of western and other societies. I don't refer to prostitution but the sale of contraceptives, sex aids, sexy clothing, women's and men's body sprays and other aroma enhancing toiletries, and romantic tourism including youth rave holidays on the costa del wherever. Big business has made big global business of all these accrutements - and it isn't going to let go of a going concern. There is no such thing as free sex.
We have to cope with not living in an ideal world; people are now openly sexually active, for good or ill, & it's better they use condoms than spread diseases & incur unwanted pregnancies. The times before sexual permissiveness weren't a golden age either.
