POPS"Yes the Taliban Repeatedly Raped Me... But They Respected Me"
referred to Joanie de Rijke’s case. “She was raped, but she was not angry. The journalist who went looking for the Taliban in Afghanistan saw her curiosity end in a cruel ordeal of multiple rape. While this would make others angry or sad, this journalist shows understanding. She says: ‘They also respected me.’ And she was given tea and biscuits.” “This story” Wilders said, “is a perfect illustration of the moral decline of our elites. They are so blinded by their own ideology that they turn a blind eye to the truth. Rape? Well, I would put this into perspective, says the leftist journalist: the Taliban are not monsters. Our elites prefer to deny reality rather than face it. One would expect: a woman is being raped and finds this unbearable. But this journalist is not angry because the Muslim involved also showed respect. Our elites, whether they are politicians, journalists, judges, subsidy gobblers or civil servants, are totally clueless.

POPS"Skyscraper greenhouses to sprout in crowded cities" more: That way, "we would save 70 percent on the cost of fresh produce because right now 70 percent of the price is transport and storage costs," he said. Fresh and healthy produce would thereby also become more readily available to those with slim budgets, he added. No vertical greenhouse exists yet, but "several cities in Scandinavia and in China have expressed an interest," Hassle said. Each installation would cost around 30 million dollars (21 million euros), much more than a regular greenhouse. But the investment would rapidly turn a profit, he insisted.

POPSDía del Villazgo Una de las mejores fiestas en las que he estado. Por unos pocos euros (el año pasado eran 8 €) te dan 10 tickets que puedes canjear por platos de comida, postres o bebidas. Además, a cada uno que paga, le dan una bandeja, una copa y un cuenco para poder echar dentro la comida. Todo por el mismo precio.

POPS"Off With His Head" It is my opinion that if these images of evil doers are suppressed, that people will tend to forget these atrocities were ever committed. "out of sight, out of mind" as they say. It is good to keep these images alive in the minds of people who weren't there, to help shed light on the historic past, recent or ancient. It is important to remember them so as not to let it repeat. Also, I'd like to add that these particular wax figures (all of them for that matter) are works of art and should be respected as such.

POPSState Department: Non-Americans making $3 to $4 a day What the article does not mention is that in some countries $3 to $4 a day is A LOT of money. Granted some, at least the ones they point out, might be underpay. But there are places in the world that a $1 day would even mean a great amount. Though at the rate the US dollar keeps dropping these folks might want to ask to get paid in Euros.

POPSBBC: " biggest toxic dumping scandal of the 21st century" The waste was generated as the result of an oil deal spanning three continents. Trafigura bought a consignment of cheap and dirty heavy oil with a high sulphur content. Instead of putting it through a refinery, Trafigura tried to clean it up, using a do-it-yourself method, so they could sell it on at a massive profit. They used a ship called the Probo Koala which they stationed off Gibraltar as a rough and ready refinery. Caustic soda and a catalyst were added to the oil which reacted with the sulphur and settled to the bottom of the tank. Trafigura were then able to sell the oil, but left with a toxic sludge at the bottom of the tank. The Probo Koala went to Amsterdam where they attempted to unload this sulphurous tar as if it were normal ships' waste, which would have cost a few thousand Euros. ... BBC
