News for Youse: Conservative government declares sex is not science, completely misses point
Maybe if we worked in such a phallic building, we'd have sex on the brain all the time, too.
Good morning, News for Yousers! Now, we know you've probably been up for hours, frantically trying to buy a piece of Facebook—you traded 82 million shares in the first 30 seconds of the market this morning? Sigh.
However, there is other news going on in the world. And we're going to make fun of a little of it here.
Is the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa an appropriate place to learn about science? The Conservative government, specifically Heritage Minister James Moore, says absol-freakin'-lutely not. Well, at least they don't want you learning about sex.
This is the most recent time-wasting vitriol spewing out of the mouths of learned fellows like parliamentary secretary Dean Del Mastro, who doesn't seem to understand that sex is indeed part of a little scientific field called biology. "It's a waste of taxpayers' money!" he claims, likening a scientific exhibition about sex to pornography on CBC's Power and Politics.
"It's beyond the scope of the mandate of the museum of science and technology…of which this is neither one of those," claims Del Mastro. The exhibit, which was created by the Montréal Science Centre, has previously been seen in Regina and Montreal completely without incident.
C'mon, Conservatives: what are you so afraid of? You shouldn't be so scared of your body. It's a beautiful thing. Well, maybe not your body specifically but the human form is awesome.
And what is in the exhibit that Del Mastro finds so completely offensive? Oh, he hasn't even seen the exhibit in person? "I don't want to see it," Del Mastro said.
The exhibit is aimed at kids 12 and up—although the exhibit has pushed the age recommendation up to 16 after pressure from the community—but Del Mastro obviously wouldn't understand it anyway. He still seems to have the "ew, girls, cooties!" attitude of an eight-year-old.
A thought occurs: perhaps if people like Del Mastro and his cohorts had actually had some decent sex-education courses in school, they wouldn't have such sex-negative attitudes. But that would be logical and we know that logic has no place in the legislature.
Congratulations to perennial hair-farmer Justin Bieber who, at the tender age of 18, has just been named the third most powerful human being on this planet. Hey, Bieber! Any interest in being the new spokesperson for the Canada Science and Technology Museum?
What's going on in Occupy Wall Street news? Check out the short film, "American Spring: The Documentary" for the latest.
Now, we've got to get back to day-trading. Facebook ain't gonna buy itself.
Follow Miranda Nelson on Twitter.
And it's clearly beyond his critical capabilities to determine what is a waste of taxpayers money.
This is a waste of money compared to what, a 15 dollar glass of orange juice, 32, 000 dollars per hour spent on personal helicopter rides or 25 billion dollars plus spent on jets?
It takes sex to create a foetus. Sounds scientific to me.
Then there is the Tory MP who calls for laws to protect unborn from bullying.
So we should bully the parents instead of the 'fetuses'?
If so there should be a law against bullying of parents or people that are wishing not to bring a part of themselves (it takes two, making that science) into this world.
You have to notice that some stripes of the Current Governing Conservative party are the ones to be kicking the sand.
It is like a worm crawled out from one can and into another.
PS;
What's a face book?
You can farm hair?
Isn't spring a time when lots of babies get made?
In most Conservative unions, ignorance is bliss ... for both parties (pardon the pun).
Under the sheets, in the dark, and don't make too much noise. It's the Conservative Way.
Yes, if only the school system had more effectively administered progressive curriculum to these folks. What we really need is some sort of progressifying immunization shot!
