There's a gullible side to the American people. They can be easily misled. Religion is the best devi

About Me

Euro/Urban Male a.k.a mr. downtown/city slicker in Yaletown -Currently a successful promoter/creator of cutting-edge nightclub events such as "Luv n Grace-Affair/Luvafair/Bowie-GlamBash" and "Futureshapes!". My Company is called "Luv n Grace Entertainment" and I'm doing what I am most passionate about! Stand-In/Photo- Double/Special-Skills Vancouver Film Industry (since 1987 when 21 Jumpstreet started) and also general Extra-Work, I also do filmscript research .src="http://dl3.glitter-graphics.net/pub/29/29952qponnbhwkz .jpg" I am born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands and lived there until I was 15 years old before moving to Vancouver, Canada in 1981. I also lived in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia for 3 years (1975-1978) and even though I was young it left an incredible long-lasting impression on me due to its extreme culture and Islam beliefs. This is where I really started questioning religion and belief systems in general. Even though the Netherlands is extremely secular..it still had much of its Christian roots ofcourse even though the Netherlands is currently about 65% atheist which I think is a good thing. Moving to Canada was really another strange move for me besides the fact that many people seemed so strangely repressed and secretive...and besides.. it was very strange hearing some young people talk about loving god and jesus and all that. This was so bizarre to me as I never met anyone religious at my age in the Netherlands. No one ever even mentioned the word god back home. So the absolutism that comes along with most religion and the lack of evidence for their absolute claims made me become even more skeptical about religion and makes me now a total non-believer with always the open mind to be changed by true evidence of some deity...... so far there is absolutely non at all and therefore I rest my case....... I am probably seen as too opiniated yet am compassionate even though I sometimes come across the opposite due to my bluntness. I believe that silence about important issues is far worse then being totally outspoken about them. One is always going to offend another group with opinions but it still is the only way change is going to happen. Most human rights issues have been overturned by protests and being vocal about them. Forget about political correctness....I'm all for free speech except hate speech.......besides that: I am a self-admitted "music snob", Sociologist, Vegetarian, for Animal Liberation, Ending Animal Suffering, Protesting Animal Abuse and Torture, "Male-Feminist", Supporter of sustainable planning/neighborhoods and lifestyle,Anti-Sprawl/Suburbia, Pro Gender-Equality, Pro-Gay Rights, Pro-Choice, Pro-legalizing soft-drugs..(I don't do any recreational drugs and never have but I rather see those legal as compared to alcohol which is far worse) Pro-Safe Injection Sites,( check out the stats in Holland and Switzerland peeps),Pro-Sex-Education and against the moronic Abstinence-before-marriage-movement ( It doesn't work whatsoever, just look at the stats between Secular Northern-Europe versus Christian USA...Just for the record:THE US has the worst stats of teenage pregnancy, STD, homicides,homeless, children in poverty in all of the industrialized nations people..its a disgrace...lets look at the facts here! Secular Holland,Sweden, Denmark, Norway and the likes have the best records in all of the lifestyle stats...get your heads out of the clouds people...the US is a nation of haves and have-nots with the top 2/3% having most of the wealth. I am Pro-Evolution....please keep the retarded-imbecilic creationism theory/fairytales out of schools, Anti-Religion therefore at least most definitely for the separation of church and state, I am Anti-War, .. .. .. Anti-US Foreign Policy/Bush ,Anti-Rodeo, Anti-Hunting, Anti-Hummer/SUV/4by4's, I have no interest in cars or anything related to it as I find car talk boring,I am Anti-Conservative (that's obvious.......All of the mentioned anti-activities contribute to the destruction of our Planet, Animal Kingdom and Human Consciousness and Awareness. They are all barbaric dark age activities). We should increase social spending and increase corporate taxes. If you voted either for Bush or Harper..then u are most definitely retarded.I have a sheer abhorrence for North-American's so-called "Raunch Culture." Words of advice to the general Canadian/American females: Dressing,acting and posing like a stripper, call-girl or a hooker is not empowering you gals, on the contrary. You all look and act the same and are all clones of one another without any originality. The Hiltons, Spears, Simpsons and Lohans of this world a.k.a the "porno paparazzi girls" who've built businesses -- empires -- out of acting less than bright and who often perpetuate the dumb blonde/whatever archetype, rather than use their brains and fame in positive ways, say, like an Angelina Jolie or Natalie Portman. BUT I WILL NOT ADD ANY UNKNOWN HOOTERS/G-STRING/GIRLS GONE WILD/SLEAZY/FRATBOY NOTHING TO SAY KINDA PEOPLOIDS ON HERE (UNLESS THEY ARE OF SUBSTANCE AND IF I KNOW THEM FOR REAL). I ONLY ACCEPT FRIENDS, FRIENDS OF FRIENDS APPROVED BY ME, ACQAINTANCES, PEOPLE/CAUSES I ADMIRE OR LIKE******************************************************** *********

My Interests

My beautiful wife and best friend Julia (ofcourse)Atheism,Fashion, Cutting Edge Culture, David Bowie( my imaginary understanding "father"), Vancouver City, Sociology,src="http://naturalhayden.web.infoseek.co.jp/news/ image/news009b.jpg" ..Fashion, Models, Photography (My friend Raphael Mazzucco) Philosophy, Art ( Da-Da-Ism,Avant-Garde,Cubism, Surrealism, Bauhaus, Minimalism) , Travel-New York-Paris-Prague-Milan-Berlin, Innovative experimental music such as The Aphex Twin ( without a doubt the most creative and innovative genius composer of this era),Gaetano Fasciana's Photography, Cities/Sustainable Cities and Neighborhoods, History, Noam Chomsky, Marshall McLuhan, Andy Warhol, George Carlin, Ali-G, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart,Art House movies, Funky restaurants, Coffee drinking, Country Music-who wants to be associated with redneck-homophobic-racist-monosyllable-nascar loving-southern culture? In the faithful words of the great George Carlin-"Guys wearing cowboy hats and rodeo outfits or playing country music..get in line with the 21st century you're living in-it's not 1850 or Halloween for that matter." Opiniated enough?? I know but I still love all people believe it or not:))) My favorite club in Vancouver: Celebrities....

Music:

Picture Left: The genius wizard The Aphex Twin.... Before I list all of my favorite musicians/dj's I am going to say it right off the bat....Aphex Twin is God whether one likes him or not...there is currently no musician alive that can hold a candle to his boundless creativity and innovativeness. He's praised by the greats..from Bowie, to Philip Glass, Radiohead, Bjork, Beck, Outkast, Gnarls Barkley, Interpol and countless of experimental artists and electronic musicians.....the list goes on and on. He was hounded for 2 years by Madonna begging him to work for her to no avail. When there is talk about innovation in music...fingers generally point towards The Aphex Twin...like what is he going to come up with next.... Simply put...this madman genius is years ahead of most music you like or might have heard.... Musicologists are continuously trying to figure out how he does what he does. He's the Houdini trickster...like Bowie he can do anything...thats the sign of a true genius..from classical to dance to avant-garde to industrial to ambient etc.....
