Free speech, and therefore free thought, appears to be dead in Limerick, Ireland.
Creeping Sharia?
Sharia in fact.
In response to the following news article I posted an apt response. That response was then censored.

In Response to Limerick school apologises for upset over Charlie Hebdo
"Creeping sharia, in the minds of the pseudo-liberals on the cultural left - turning them all into new-fascists.
Apology for the murder of artists, and for censorship of art artists were just barely murdered for.
Conflating religion with race, and race with being human. Doublespeak. Belief maintenance. Heresy trials.. Excommunication. All these things happen within the de facto fascist cult religion of the new left today.
Jim Jones.
David Koresh.
L. Ron Hubbard.
Joseph Smith.
Mohamed.
Charismatic charlatans all. Abusive cult leaders. But the WORST of these is Mohamed.

Here's a response I just posted on their site, a response which may also be censored:
Creeping sharia? Sharia in fact.
Free speech, and therefore
free thought, and the ability to be an intellectually and emotionally
honest human being is dead in Limerick.
Thank goodness your
little speck on the Internet cannot control what happens nowadays. The
editors and operators of this site are partners in abuse. Child abuse.
Adult abuse. The abuse that comes directly from life within a cult.
Observations and Epiphanies... Choosing life. Classic liberalism. Small L libertarianism. Conserving Western Enlightenment values.

Atheists, exmormons, ex-Muslims, and so on "moving on" - video commentary
January 19, 2013 video commentary on atheists, exmormons, and people who've left other religions "moving on."
Are you uncomfortable being around atheists, ex-mormons, ex-Muslims, or people who've left other cults - people with a lot of "religious baggage?"
Here's a video commentary for you, and also about whether people are free to speak their mind while inside various religions or not. Also avoiding cults of personality, even in atheist groups.

Why are exmormons and atheists so angry? Because they have damn good reasons to be.

Psychics are charlatans who prey on the gullible and uneducated
Psychics are, generally speaking, charlatans who use word games and common sense to prey upon the gullible and uneducated. Good work if you can get it, but let's not pretend that it should ever be taken seriously.
Good videos:
By Richard Dawkins:

Derren Brown - longer interview - part 1 of 6:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idVxRE8uM-A
Derren Brown on faith healers - similar charlatans to psychics:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYjgeayfYPI
"...where hope is peddled at the price."
James Randi exposes James Hydrick:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlfMsZwr8rc
BBC on the issue - exposes three mediums:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4qGfNViVN8
Penn & Teller:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQnqRaVT9tY
Psychics are leeches, sometimes self-deceived, often damaging, and always either wrong or right by fucking happenstance.
Similarly, we can easily replace the title "psychic" with "cultish religious founder." Same people. Same difference. Same result.
