Secular Café: Cristeros War 1926-1929

I just watched a movie on Netflix called "For Greater Glory". I am a movie buff but had never heard of this 2012 film or ever saw it advertised. It deals with the Atheistic government of Mexico's attack on the Catholic church. Good cast with Peter O' Toole as a priest and Andy Garcia as a general.

Lower than the BNP and only just beating the Monster Raving Loony Party, can they sink much lower? I doubt clegg would have ever lived it down if they'd been beaten by the MRLP.

Rifle boy used in sister's death made for kids

Quote:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A 5-year-old boy who shot and killed his 2-year-old sister Tuesday near Burkesville, Ky., used a special, child-sized rifle he got in November for his birthday.

The fatal shell was fired from a Crickett — "a rifle for a little kid," said Cumberland County Coroner Gary White.

[Coroner calls shooting "just one of those crazy accidents," says parents are devastated.]

White described the Cumberland shooting as "just one of those crazy accidents" and said the parents had left the rifle in a corner next to the boy's BB gun and didn't realize that it still had a shell in it.

Secular Café: Reform of the libel laws in the UK

Reform of the libel laws in the UK
May 2nd 2013, 03:33

An analysis here from Sense about Science, which is an organisation aiming for prevention of more cases like the Homeopaths against Simon Singh.

Quote:

The Defamation Bill has been agreed by Parliament and is awaiting Royal Assent to become the Defamation Act 2013. We have campaigned for four years for a law that would be less expensive and complicated, up to date and less able to be used to chill free speech worldwide. The Libel Reform Campaign has focused on the most significant of the problems with the law, which were also the areas where change was most resisted. We campaigned for the conversion of the common law Reynolds defence into a clearer, stronger, more accessible statutory public interest defence; an end to the ability of claimants to censor criticism extra-judicially by threatening innocent web hosts with libel actions; restrictions on the ability of corporations to sue in libel, as applies to public bodies; easier 'strike out' of trivial or inappropriate claims by raising the threshold of harm before a libel action can proceed. We campaigned for reforms that would produce a law that anyone can read to understand their rights. Until now the laws were mainly in common law, the development of which proceeds slowly in libel as there are few cases. The Defamation Bill 2012 was the first time Parliament had debated wholesale libel
reform since 1843.
