I wanna buy a "P" and why we're packing for Mars

Well, I have always known that the brand "Lonsdale" is being associated by the media and by the public in general with Neonazism however I never knew why. I thought that a group of Neonazis just started wearing that kinda stuff and in groups like that certain brands become mandatoy. Only today I read up on the subject, because in the Netherlands those groups of "Lonsdale wearing youngsters" are big in the news again because a small group threw a molotof into an islamic elementary school. So it turns out that Neonazis who wear Lonsdale on purpose atually made this out of it: "lo NSDA (add imaginary 'P') ale". Makes sense, no? How desperate can you get? Lonsdale is a sport clothes brand. I know it mostly from boxing clothes and it has nothing to do with Neonazism. The brand is actually really suffering from the image it gets. Then I think, those Neonazis, why can't they just wear a white t-shirt with "Hitler" on it? Or a giant "H" or a giant "W" for "white power"? Why make up all sorts of detours to imagine some sort of hidden racist meaning behind a normal brand of clothes? That's just really sad. That's like when I was 11 and I had a crush on my English teacher and I made up sentences where the first letter of every third word backwards spelled "I love my English teacher". lol! I mean, really.

In the Netherlands I have the feeling that it just keeps getting worse with the abyss between dutch and "non-dutch" (Apparently a certain group of "cheeseheads" sees anyone who is not white as non-dutch regardless of their nationality). On the one hand I can totally understand moroccan or turkish youths who feel threatened by this climate, people are scared of them and the media pushes that and turns it into distrust, generalisation and discimination. However, I can also understand the people who are scared and who have that unsave feeling and who see the large groups op "immigrants" as a big threat. I bike through a neighbourhood which has the highest crime rate in The Hague and it's about 90% non-caucasian people (man, gotta be creative with all this PC stuff haha). Anyways, I get yelled after and have soccer balls kicked against my head many times when I bike through there, it makes me feel unsave and I build up a disliking for people of "that kind", which in this case is moroccans and turkish people or people I think "look-it". I know, very discriminatory. However when I think about it thoroughly, when I bike through white neighourhoods of the same social niveau I have the exact same thing happening with "white" and "dutch" youths. In the end it makes no difference where you're from or what tint your skin has, it's about the social situation. Seeing how most "non-white/pinkish" people here have harder times finding jobs, get mortgages etc, of cause a larger concentration of them is unemployed or lives in the cheap neigbourhoods. Then it descents into a vicious cycle since once you're down it's even harder to get out. If one thing is dangerous, it's bored people, no matter if they are dutch, 2nd gen. or immigrants.

Biggest problem is that nobody in this country (or in the world for that matter) listens to anyone anymore. Nobody seeks dialogue and people form opinions far to easy and way to fast. Why are we so hasty? I mean we all know the old sayings of patience and waiting and seeing, but it seems we don't give a bleep. Everything around us is speeding up so we're just keeping up, aren't we? It feels like society in general is just a giant kettle that's whistling, and which, if you don't turn the flame lower, will burst at one point.

Everyone still in on the roket-building? I got a real estate brochure from Mars. it's supposed to have nice radiation this time of year...
