    Default Interesting website

    I found this interesting website by a guy who goes by the name of 'Vexen Crabtree'.

    Vexen Crabtree's Websites

    I think he's like a philosophical Satanist or something but he has some highly succinct, intelligent and thought-provoking pieces on many issues. Try reading these for example.

    Religion in the United Kingdom: Diversity, Trends and Decline
    An Analysis of UK Trash Culture
    Single Issue Parties are Dangerous:Against BNP, Green parties and Ethnic Parties
    General Neophobia in Everyday Life: Humankind's Fear of Progress and Change

    As for the issue of 'Europeans dying out', this unrelated article seems to link nationalism with Christianity as a form of self-worship. Interesting reading in combination with the first link above.

    Asia Times

    Interesting that that article should be in the Asia Times. Asia, more than any other continent or region, is very much a mixed bag. There are the desperately poor, and there are the very well off people. The only thing that seems to hold that continent together on the whole is a general cultural conservativism found in pretty much every Asian country.

    I can understand the points he's making about the BNP. Having said that, I don't agree with all of what he says about them.

    Good job really, since he'll never acquire employment as a web designer.

    Default programming and John

    John,



    You are a programmer then? He probably wouldn't even rank then from the assumption of your assessment of th design with w3.org with validations or proper coding? More people that use programming need to go off of the recommendations for all browsers and all types of computer microprocessors can access it at any speed or device there given out for users to view the site. It's the entire point of programming to serve to be served otherwise the point is moot to say the least.

    No, not really - more like an discerning gent concerned with good design. I know how to code web pages properly though.

    Having read more of this site I don't agree with everything he's saying but at least some of it is spot on.

    Also, yeah, web design. I used to know a little about that ten years ago. But can we discuss the content of what he's saying?

    You would have to be really interested to even attempt to read that pile of badly presented cr@p
    "That government is best which governs least."
     "This is a sharp Medicine, but it is a Physician for all diseases and miseries".
     "To be "matter of fact" about the world is to blunder into fantasy --and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful."

    On the surface the website seems pretty cool, had a brief look around. Plan going back later.
    These are some rather interesting articles.
