Let's nail this weather thing down. Wikipedia gives the average high and low by month. I'll take those and then average them. The Chicago page already does this for "daily average" but for Glasgow, I'll need a calculator. I'll give Celcius first then Farenheit. Then declare which city is colder.

Yeah, this is much more what I expected. It's actually colder in Glasgow for every month EXCEPT in the winter. So these people should be saying, "Chicago, eh? You think you'll be able to handle the milder Glasgow spring, summer, and fall?"

But what do these people know about the world outside this inbred island? To them, Glasgow is cold because they're comparing it to London.

And I don't hold their ignorance as a criticism. The average Chicago native doesn't know about Glasgow and they don't care. Why would they? It's irrelevant to them.

You know what annoys me? The term "so-called Islamic State". No, that's the official name. Do they say "so-called Great Britain"? No because that would imply that it's not great. Or what about "so-called Islamic Republic of Iran"? Of course not because that would cast doubt Iran's status both as Islamic and a republic.

But Islamic State? No, those people aren't real Muslims. They're just so-called followers of Islam. It's the religion of peace, after all. All of those guys in Islamic State? Totally confused about their religion. The leader of Islamic state, a guy who holds a doctorate in Islamic Studies from a Baghdad university, lived in mosques for much of his life, and has clearly dedicated his life to Islam? Not a true Muslim. If that guy isn't a Muslim, who the fuck is?

But the propaganda doesn't want you to think of these people as Muslims. Why not? Why the demonisation of Russia when they started bombing these people? You can inevitably follow the money trail to the Chosen People.
