Oh ho ho ho, conservatives aren’t trying to go up against Griswold. You can get a scrip written. They’ll just refuse to let you pay with it with health insurance and refuse to fill the scrip once you have it. Oh, and if you don’t have health insurance they will shut down the sliding scale women’s clinic where the nurse practitioner would write you a scrip and they’ll ban LNPs from writing bc scrips in the the first place.

FRIESS PEACH!

Of course, the whole “war on women” gambit is as phony as Obama’s campaign promise to reduce the deficit

So, they admit it:

From the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Updated Budget Projections: Fiscal Years 2013 to 2023

, the budget deficit will shrink this year to $642 billion, CBO estimates, the smallest shortfall since 2008. 

Not phony at all.

 Now, unlike President Obama and other Democrats such as my opponent, I believe in upholding all the laws, including the ones I believe are wrong.

SNERK! Which is why they’re still holding a massive temper tantrum over the settled law (even the Roberts Court upheld it) of the ACA.

Maybe we really have fallen through the looking glass.

Wait, what. Is the confounding of “through the looking-glass” and “down the rabbit hole” a deliberate search for rhetorical novelty, or just some numpty who doesn’t know his Lewis from his Carroll?

Fallen through the looking glass looking glass on the wall in the bathroom please talk free. Who is the fairest one of all?

Can we counter this newest variation on the Big Lie?

Are you ready for what this “new Big Lie” is? Demoncraps and leftsists claim that social conservatives want to ban abortion, but in reality social conservatives want to ban abortion.

Worse, as evidenced in McAuliffe’s latest ad, Demoncraps are saying that social conservatives are ideologically motivated by their religious convictions when in fact social conservatives are actually ideologically motivated by their religious convictions.

Ahem. Canada is too a real country. I wil have you know that a lot of my friends are Canadian.

This is going to be a fun morning. I have have been scintillating scotoma since I woke up. It could be just a weird transient thing that goes away, or it could be the harbinger of a productivity wrecking miserable migraine. Whee!

*experiencing scintillating scotoma

Therefore, we must ask ourselves, if this issue has already been decided by a Supreme Court decision, why is my opponent spending so much time talking about it? The answer is one simple reason. He is trying to divert attention from the real issues facing us, which are [getting more jobs, helping the economy with lower taxes and regulations, fighting crime, his shady past, etc.]“

Ha hrm, seems to me the ACA was decided by the Supreme Court as well.

And yes, haven’t the GOP/Teashites spent SO much time on jobs and security, what with votes to repeal the ACA, restrictions on voting, regulations on women’s health centers, opposing gun registration, opposing a living wage, etc. etc. which might, god forbid, take their time away from re-naming post offices after all.

OK, so what he’s saying is a Republican candidate should say “Stop distracting people with all this abortion talk! Roe v. Wade was settled decades ago, so let’s talk about the economy…and a Constitutional amendment to ban abortion!”

Yeah, that’ll go over well.

(Not to mention that the Old Dominion will be stuck with an incompetent, job-destroying, tax-raising leftist as governor.)

Yeah, all those vaginal wanders are going to lose their jobs!

Clearly the leftists’ greatest strength on the issue of life is that decades ago an activist Supreme Court wrote unborn children out of the Constitution*.

Yeah, they crossed out all the clear references to fetal rights.

Therefore, we must ask ourselves, if this issue has already been decided by a Supreme Court decision, why is my opponent spending so much time talking about it? The answer is one simple reason.

Yeah, your clear statements IN THIS VERY ARTICLE that once you get enough people elected to change the Supreme Court or the “outdated” amendment process* you’re going to work your ass off to make sure it’s overturned. Did you think folks wouldn’t notice that?

*I note in passing the (spurious) claim of originalism then the clear refutation of it.

In addition: YEAH.

Mmm! My hugbox futures are up nearly 700% since Monday.

Mmm! My hugbox futures are up nearly 700% since Monday

is that anything like a squeezebox?

Yes, by using one of the stratagems attributed to the ancient Chinese military philosopher, Sun Tzu.

Actually he was general and his experience came from actual war, not sitting around in his mom’s basement, clad only in her eye makeup converted to camo paint, rolling around on his 50,000 GI Joe dolls and “philosophizing.”

At least some of that gap comes from McAuliffe’s active use of the “war on women” gambit, which the Democrats developed in the 2012 elections.

As recently as that, eh?

I bet these people couldn’t fart properly if you fed them a tin of cold beans.

Canada is the second largest country name ending in “-nada”

OK, you’ve stumped me DKW. The only other place I can think of that ends in “nada” is Encenada, Mexico and it’s not a country.

I should have known that one*. We invaded it. That’s the only way Americans learn geography.

The Heartland – Real Murka!

o.m.g. i waited on a couple like that this summer…they came in to the club on their anniversary for supper after a hard day of touring the fair circuit…they were both pretty rotund, mid-fifties to early 60s and pulled a trailer behind their vehicle which contained two mobility scooters which they proudly told me they use at the fairgrounds…thought they were quite ingenius…

Charming! I think I’ll print one and frame it.

I think I’ll do the same. It’ll make a nice album CD cover for the one I am making for a co-worker who was quite adamant about paying for one. I finally settled for 5 bucks; a dollar for each member of the band….

And as OBS said “It’s like some sort of perfect summation of everything that’s wrong with ‘Murka all in one photo.”

Pup, where do you find this shit, and have you thought about a tumblr?

I did have Grenada in mind, but the phrasing comes from from the original, and was also intended as a tribute to Pete in his Mickey Mouse Clubhouse incarnation.

Abortion is murder. Wait, I’m losing? Abortion is the law of the land and I respect the law. Hey, wait, where are you all going?

Good catch, jim the heretical. This blog is more a hugbox than a hot tub.

So what if it is? If I want to have the same arguments over and over again with the same bunch of trolls I’ll go back to Huffington Post.

Here is how it would work in a debate or TV campaign spot

OMG! I’ll swear I saw this couple at the Washington State Fair just a few weeks ago.

How could this be applied to defeat the phony “war on women” gambit? Let’s see.

1. On the path your opponent is walking, dig a pit and fill it with starving women.
2. Launch a large women at him from a catapult.
3. Feed your opponent a women. The women is actually full of dynamite.

gloat, baby, gloat…

Teh Ho posted this never gets old link on his fb. I’m putting it here in you haven’t seen it.

I’m getting whiplash just from reading that. I’m not always rational but damn that’s some hard-core doublethink right there. Normally you need a visit to Room 101 at the Ministry of Love to be able to contradict yourself so completely.

from the comments:

The Left is able to
attract women by promising them brute power and wars of domination.
The Left is also promising women to “relieve” them of their maternal
duties, and thus, is directly hurting the family and the children.

well now i’m really pissed…none of you have ever offered to relieve me of my maternal duties…jerks!

It doesn’t take rocket science to outsmart the left. Just put out bizarre accusations about them and let them spend time and money denying the charges. It’s how the ERA amendment went down in flames. The narrative that was floated out there was that if this Amendment was passed, there would no longer be separate bathrooms for men and women. They would all become unisex. Men united in droves to shut down this from happening. It died.

……

[this bit of indignation is in a sub-thread about abortion, but proves the old adage that it’s always projection]

Please get your facts straight. This is from the VA bill, as passed:

“If gestational age cannot be determined by a transabdominal ultrasound, then the patient undergoing the abortion shall be verbally offered other ultrasound imaging to determine gestational age, which she may refuse.”

It DID NOT require trans-vaginal ultrasound. I can understand how you made this mistake, as the “Media” and its parent Party have pushed this lie since the bill’s inception.

This makes me question some of your other “facts”, as well.

so, let’s agree with ‘go ahead and tells lies to get your own way’ but then get seriously hissy and factual when replying to a comment you’ve mis-read…yep, it’s a regular old brain trust over there…

The Left is able to
attract women by promising them brute power and wars of domination.

Indeed, there is nothing women dig more than brute power and wars of domination. It’s the only explanation for why missiles are penis-shaped.

empathy is NOT spelled with one land two n-s

It DID NOT require trans-vaginal ultrasound. I can understand how you made this mistake, as the “Media” and its parent Party have pushed this lie since the bill’s inception.

It DID require it, they REVISED the bill to the “she may refuse” AFTER the bill got serious push-back and the Governor lost his nerve. link

The Left is able to
attract women by promising them brute power and wars of domination.

I thought that’s what the wingnuts are promising … oh, yeah – IT’S ALWAYS PROJECTION – I’d forgotten that for a bit.

The Left is also promising women to “relieve” them of their maternal
duties, and thus, is directly hurting the family and the children.

Are they talking about abortion, in which case, may I remind them that, except for some truly obnoxious control freaks, the men are also anxious to be “relieved” of the much less onerous part of the parenting job they had a significant role in forming?

Or are they admitting that the only job a woman should have is producing and raising children, and the only part of parenting a man should participate in is procreation? Yes, I know that a disturbingly large number of people believe this, but making it explicit doesn’t hurt.

i know it’s the first, last and only thing i think about all day…amirite, ladies?!

It seems that we have many people who only live for abortion(s). My…my. I guess they don’t realize that there is more to life. Electing a corrupt politician so you can have access to abortion is like cutting off your nose to breath bettter.

eh? what war on wimmen you say? no! the conservatives LOVES wimmen…just lookee here:

Nothing will get in the way of the American Feminist’ right to abort children whenever they want.

And do it on government funds, with plenty of support personnel standing by telling them they are doing the right thing.

Fiscal policy, individual rights, foreign policy, nothing else matters except for abortions and free Women’s health care.

Repeal the 19th Amendment.

isn’t their respect and love for women totes obvious?

It DID require it, they REVISED the bill to the “she may refuse” AFTER the bill got serious push-back and the Governor lost his nerve. link

You mean, after people pointed out that what he was requiring was legally defined as “rape with an object?”

Which is why I don’t call him “Governor Ultrasound.” I call him “Governor Rape with an Object.”

It doesn’t take rocket science to outsmart the left. Just put out bizarre accusations about them and let them spend time and money denying the charges. It’s how the ERA amendment went down in flames.

Jesus. Some people care TOO MUCH about being able to decide what to do with their own bodies, and not being forced to do something painful, expensive, and potentially dangerous against their will! How short-sighted of them!

Men united in droves to shut down this from happening.

so just what DO men do in bathrooms that they don’t want women to see?

and not being forced to do something painful, expensive, and potentially dangerous against their will! How short-sighted of them!

not to mention that it also affects another person…oh wait…they’re only persons until they’re born…nvm…

Nothing will get in the way of the American Feminist’ right to abort children whenever they want.

Actually, the forced childbirth folks have been pretty successful at getting in the way. Personally, I feel that abortions should be legal, and easily available, at any stage of pregnancy. First, because it’s her body, and it’s the woman who psys the physical, emotional, and (usually) financial costs of pregnancy. Second, because children are too impirtant to be callously used as weapons to punish women.

Repeal the 19th Amendment

And now we get to the real source of their anger. Women thinking we’re actual people, with actual rights and stuff.

so just what DO men do in bathrooms that they don’t want women to see?

Obviously they don’t know about the cameras we’ve installed in men’s rooms, and the monitors in ladies’. Which leads me to answer, “not washing their hands.”

Obviously they don’t know about the cameras we’ve installed in men’s rooms, and the monitors in ladies’. Which leads me to answer, “not washing their hands.”

In case some guys were wondering, the bathrooms with the monitors are the ones with the combined “icks” and uproarious laughter. The ones that haven’t been properly insulated for sound, yet, anyway.

Obviously they don’t know about the cameras we’ve installed in men’s rooms, and the monitors in ladies’. Which leads me to answer, “not washing their hands.”

DATED PENIS

so what are you going to cover that up with?

so what are you going to cover that up with?

A nice black and white portrait of a friend’s grandfather to be used as a birthday present. I’m charging slightly less than minimum wage for it. Yay!

do men realize that women would really not use the same bathroom as them?

Actually, we do often use the same bathrooms – any function that uses portapotties, for instance, or some businesses that just have one or two bathrooms undifferentiated by gender. I’m generally happy not to have to wait in line for the inadequate women’s room, though I do wish I didn’t have to know that poor aim and inadequate knowledge of physics (where do you think the urine will go if you shake it like that?) was so prevalent among men.

Actually, we do often use the same bathrooms –

true, but in the sphere of public restrooms, i know i wouldn’t want to be peeing with a bunch of guys…and gross as men’s rooms can be, i am not above sneaking into one when in desperate need…i.e. when there’s a freaking humongous line for the one women’s toilet in the place…

also, i see i left out a word…i meant to say would really rather not…

I see no problem with unisex washrooms. As long as the urinals have those dividers so no ladies see my comically small penis.

it doesn’t help that the average age of our male customers is 112…although, you would think that would help, what with those giant prostates and all…

As Dad got older, his tremor got worse. So did his vision, I suspect, though he was still able to pass the vision test for his driver’s license.

welp, any uni bathroom would need this…

As Dad got older, his tremor got worse. So did his vision,

indeed…that would not help…

I see no problem with unisex washrooms.

I’ve seen them over in Europe. It was usually one room full of sinks and another room that had toilet stalls. The doors on the stalls were almost floor-to-ceiling so you nobody was going to see anything.

DKW: Before I jump into the swamp and read Cerb’s latest, I agree with yer comment closing the last thread. And I am a historian. (Well, sorta. University major in Modern European history, concentrating on military history in my first incarnation as a college student, back in the Cretaceous.)

If Chris shows up, I’m pretty sure he would also second yer observation. Speaking of whom, where IS Chris? Come back, Shane!

It’s how the ERA amendment went down in flames. The narrative that was floated out there was that if this Amendment was passed, there would no longer be separate bathrooms for men and women.

I don’t think ERA died because of unisex bathrooms. Or even the prospect of a unisex draft. (No one has been drafted since 1973.) ERA died because of a backlash against feminism, stoked by resentment over Roe v. Wade.

We do it in the bathroom because you don’t want to see it. You should leave that one alone.

Teh Ho posted this never gets old link on his fb. I’m putting it here in you haven’t seen it.

Does anyone see a resemblence to Amy Poehler? Or am I just going insane? (Well, it’s clear I’m not going on my errands yet….)

All of the newer, trendy bars here in Spokane have unisex bathrooms, but they’re single occupant only.

NOBODY poops in them and they’re relatively clean.

Also, what the fuck would be wrong with a unisex bathroom with stalls? (Tall ones that pervs can’t peek over or under)

Wait. What was that about the duty to relieve matronly women?

That is why the Jacksonian hero defies the experts and entrenched elites and “dares to say what the people feel” without caring in the least what the liberal media will say about him. (Think Ted Cruz.)

You should ask Larry Craig.

If I said that I would be accused of objectifying men through synecdoche.

We have a neon pig here in a remote part of the San Joaquin Valley:

It wasn’t long that the duo had a good feel for the business, and using the knowledge they learned from their mother, made another successful eating place called the Pig Pen.

A lot of local people remember the Pig Pen, not only for the excellent food but for a meeting place where old friends met and new friendships were formed.

“The neon sign is still there,” Emma said.

so just what DO men do in bathrooms that they don’t want women to see?

Advanced maths. Because, women. Amirite? Lol.

But srsly, some guys have problems peeing if there’s another dude in the room. Probably a significant overlap with guys that have troubles doing anything coherent if there’s a ladyfolks present. Co-ed facilities would probably increase the rate of bladder cancer. Or something.

Recursive occlusion huh? Well in that case
CARBON DATED PENIS

Part of the problem in using the facilities with ladies present might be a little shame at just how helpful your fellow brothers can be when the pee won’t come out.

Cruz’ father Rafael Cruz indicated that his son was among the evangelical Christians who are anointed as “kings” to take control of all sectors of society […] and “bring the spoils of war to the priests”, thus helping to bring about a prophesied “great transfer of wealth”, from the “wicked” to righteous gentile believers.

Yes, yes, but Obama attended a church where the preacher accepted some daft conspiracy theories, so BOTH SIDES DO IT.

but now, i’m happy that i at least got a few good drinks in tonight and will hopefully sleep the good sleep and forget that atrocious ‘wimmenz it’s yer fault if you get raped’ fucking bullshit article…

Yeah, I gotta wonder about all those Japanese women who hit the bars with their coworkers after work and get drunk and walk home and mysteriously don’t. get. raped. or at least not at US rates, not even close. (Rate of violent crime is much lower in Japan.)

Every once in a while a US serviceman makes US-Japan relations more sour by raping a local girl. I guess he figured woulda got away with it in South Cackalacky or Phuket, now the funny-talking locals are ittai okotte pisssssed and all beikokujin kaereeee (yankee fuckstick go home).

Men. Don’t rape.

Pundits. Stop blaming video games, tv, porn (all of which, except porn, are even more prolific in Japan than the US… yes guys, despite the rep, porn in Japan is censored a lot and all that explicit stuff you get in the states was produced for export… really… company called Central Park Media has been importing since the 80s at least and dubbing using US porn stars… they do also release in Japan but it’s censored with often crappy dubbing… and there is a black market in reimporting uncensored porn from the US… this dates to Shogunate who thought that smexy pickshures would ennervate the weak hearts of the non-warrior masses), and girls trusting people/having fun, as if that’s evil or morally weak.

re: Yoffe

I think Atrios has a good take on it.

People drink. Sometimes people drink to excess. By itself, these are things which society has accepted. There may be some disapproval of drunks, but no legal prohibitions against drunkeness in and of itself. Rape is another story – unmitigated bad. Illegal in every civilized jurisdiction in the world. From a legal perspective, possibly worse than murder because there is such a thing as justifiable homicide.

As a PENIS-haver, the worst that can happen to me if I get blackout drunk is that it takes several hours to realize my eyebrows have been replaced by assorted doodles in Sharpie marker. Which also, despite being nowhere near as illegal as rape, happens much less frequently. From a “Markets!” perspective, this means that there must be some sort of strong incentivization of sexually assaulting an unconscious body – strong enough to totally overwhelm the disincentives of lengthy jail time and movers hip into the Registered Sex Offenders Club.

That’s basic evidence of the thing referred to as rape culture. Implying that the victim has any culpability because they drank a lot (or dressed provocatively or dared to venture outdoors without a chaperone or whatever) is part of rape culture. Rapists aren’t a monolith. There is a wide range of fucked up criminal mind sets. Anything which supports the “marginal” rapist who would never force himself on anyone but that sluuuut is soooo druuuuunk – well that’s enabling rapists. Also too, that “marginal” rapist is still a rapist.

FU autocorrect. “movers hip” was supposed to be “membership”.

I don’t trust Japan’s low rape rates. I think given their culture it could be just a very low reportage rape. Women and girls aren’t in danger of getting raped in the street but there still may be danger at home.

not a gator skrev:

this dates to Shogunate who thought that smexy pickshures would ennervate the weak hearts of the non-warrior masses

And here I thought it was down to the Occupation and the deep blue Kirishitan nose of Douglas McArthur.

Oh no now Dennis is going to get into a rape discussion with us? This should be fun.

*I* was given to understand that the whole Japanese self-censorship thing started during the first contact with the West, and the Christian influence on Japanese society.

Mind you, they still have a holiday dedicated to giant PENIS, so there’s that.

Except really funny thing, the author didn’t say that or imply it. In fact, she expressly stated she had no intention if giving that impression or placing blame on anyone but the rapists. Unfortunately, the “marginal” rapist often goes unpunished when the woman is blitzed, as the author describes in detail and supports with factual evidence.

well then i guess the really funny thing is that she said this:

But nothing is going to be as effective at preventing alcohol-facilitated assaults as a reduction in alcohol consumption. The 2009 campus sexual assault study, co-authored by Krebs, found campus alcohol education programs “seldom emphasize the important link” between women’s voluntary alcohol and drug use “and becoming a victim of sexual assault.” It goes on to say students must get the explicit message that limiting alcohol intake and avoiding drugs “are important sexual assault sex protection strategies.” I think it would be beneficial for younger students to hear accounts of alcohol-facilitated sexual assault from female juniors and seniors who’ve lived through it.

that’s on the second page under the heading: “tell college women to stop getting so wasted”…

so let’s recap, just this little bit, shall we? she cites the link between alcohol and sexual assault and then reinforces that with her own thoughts that girls should be scared sober by the horror stories of victims…victims who likely didn’t get any justice because the colleges didn’t do anything to the rapist. she also tells an anecdote about a serial predator, who has intoxicated and raped who knows how many females, but still, her take home message is: girls, don’t drink!

she never once gives any advice to the men on how to stop being rapists. the closest she comes is that she would tell her son not to be a drunken frat boy. oh, and a sentence about how a woman who is incapacitated cannot give consent.

clearly, binge drinking is dangerous…we should be teaching both genders the risks and not condone their going off to college as a four year drunk…we should be teaching all of them how to be safe and to use some freaking common sense.

i was going to point out that we should be teaching our girls to use the buddy system: never go out by yourself, avoid skeevy areas, etc., etc…but you know what? fuck that…it’s really enraging and belittling that women have to take on special precautions to avoid being raped…especially given that it can happen any time, anywhere drunk or sober…i don’t know what the answer is, but if you have a penis, you best stfu about women getting raped unless it’s to pound it into your brothers* about treating women as people and not as sex toys

*i see what i did there…

It’s just not possible for someone to say something outright that is completely subverted by their subtext: “I’m not doing such and such, but…“

Rape has to stop with men not raping, not women ‘increasing their chances’ because they’ve had a little or a lot to drink. As Amanda wrote a few months ago:

Greta Christina wrote yesterday about an anti-rape campaign that is being considered a success by law enforcement in Edmonton. It’s the “Don’t Be That Guy” campaign, and after the city was blanketed with it, the rape rate went down 10%. Greta cited it, correctly, as an example of how anti-rape messages aimed at telling men not to rape work, and much better than telling women to live their lives in fear of rapists.

Dennis is going to get into a rape discussion with us?

Nuh uh, you don’t argue with badgers.

no, dennis, essentially what i’m saying is that artilces like this, that even though the author may point out that she doesn’t let the rapist off the hook when the headline to your magnum opus (and when you get to be ‘ask prudence’ you probably have some say in your column’s headline and if you don’t stand behind your headline 100%, you should make it known that the headline is very fucking misleading) the bulk of the article and some of the authors own quotes blame the woman.

and the penis thing? that was directed at you, not emily joffe…i’m saying YOU should stfu up about it…and duh, the buddy system doesn’t always work…i got that…that’s why i explicity said that i wasn’t even going to offer it as a solution…the only solution is for men. to. stop. raping. and for the justice system, parents, faculties, adminstrations to treat any kind of sexual assault as the actual serious life altering crime that it is…it’s not just a matter of telling college girls not to get drunk, it’s in our culture…we recognize that and start dealing with it with something other than victim blaming…

and seriously, unless you have something helpful to offer, just stfu…

Can’t argue with the fact of a 10% drop in rape after the campaign in Edmonton, no matter if it was pointed out by Amanda Marcotte or the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

What she should have done was not undermine it with the rest of the article.

Women and girls aren’t in danger of getting raped in the street but there still may be danger at home.

I had a friend who married here specifically to get out of Japan. She hated being a woman there.

I have no problem with that message, and I allow the message could have been written better, but if you, tsam and D-KW are such the experts on the subject, then there’s no reason to lie and distort what she wrote.

nor do i, dennis, that’s the message we need to reinforce with all of our children male or female. and yes, i consider myself a bit of an expert since i am a victim…and guess what? i wasn’t drunk at all…you know why? because i was 11. so reading an article by woman who points out that she doesn’t drink to excess telling other women not to drink to excess because they stand a better chance of getting raped doesn’t fly with me…because i was 11, dennis…in my own home…with family present…not in the room, but present…i’m all for spreading the message about not getting wasted and i know alcohol contributes a lot to sexual assault, but articles like this one continue to blame the victim and doesn’t even come close to addressing the real issue…no lies, no distortions…

What the other CUNT (Not Dennis–Yoffe) is doing is establishing a mitigating circumstance for rape. That’s not acceptable.

Again, any woman, regardless of age or attractiveness, should be able to be passed out wasted in super secksay lingerie and EXPECT to not get raped.

If a man wants any sex other than consensual, INTERACTIVE sex, he is a creepy fuck and a rapist. It really is that simple.

Look, we all instruct our daughters to keep their wits and faculties available when they’re drinking to mitigate the danger of being raped by a rapey rapist. But that doesn’t mean it is OK in any circumstance to consider the behavior, dress or amount of intoxication any sort of justification for rape. The reason we instruct our daughters to be careful is because society STILL thinks there is a blurred line (I hope you see what I did there) between a violently initiated rape and the rape of a woman who is incapacitated from a drug–self induced or otherwise.

There IS no room to debate this. There is no grey area.

Thank FSM for badgers.

Why the fuck is anyone debating with the troll? Where is the clean up crew?

What the other CUNT

Aw that’s cute. I hope your ass is invaded by fire ants.

Aw that’s cute. I hope your ass is invaded by fire ants.

You talking to me?

Troll says he isn’t going to get into a rape discussion and then proceeds to talk about rape for several comments.

There’s now another thread at LGM about this, perhaps the trolls can go hang out there for a while. Variety is the spice of life after all.

Why the fuck is anyone debating with the troll?

you make a good point…you may or may not have noticed that i’m touchy about the subject…but it’s still no excuse for engaging…and i wasn’t even drunk when i did it! badum dum!

regarding the c word, i’m not a big fan of it and feel it should only be used for the most egregious among us…it’s an icky word and too generally used to demean those of us with vaginas…have you seen or read any of the commentary about us ‘owning’ the word…i stumbled upon a website once (which i totes can’t google at work, obv) that went into the whole history of the word and how it’s not misogynistic and they used it as much as possible to take the stigma away from it…wasn’t totally sold on the argument…

I’m against using that word on general principles but even if you’re not, a good reason not to use it is because doing so sends the troll off into spasms of fake outrage and then we have to cleanup after it.

Thanks for clean-up OBS. As they put it around here ‘we appreciate you’, pronounced, ‘preeshiaytchuh’.

My earlier link went to a page where the author rewrote the advice to young men, I assume to highlight how rarely one sees that advice.

Here’s a link to Atrios which, I think, helps define (part of) what’s so objectionable about Joffe’s piece: http://www.eschatonblog.com/2013/10/victim-blaming-as-bold-original-advice.html

I’ll do a little repackaging, too.

“Don’t get stupid drunk” is good advice, but it only seems to be given to women. It should be given to men, too.

Other reasonable advice, like “Try not to be in sketchy areas if you can avoid it” also tends only to be given to women.

When a woman is raped, all the reasonable advice for trying to avoid trouble, plus some outright offensive stuff – like how she was dressed – gets trotted out as excuses for the rapist. Implied or explicit, they’re still excusing the rapist.

All the helpful advice to women is usually framed (implicitly or explicitly) as “how not to get raped” advice. This sets the whole situation up as something the woman is wholly responsible for avoiding. Even when a woman or girl has done nothing other than be female in the general vicinity of a rapist, the ensuing rape becomes her fault, and she is expected to be shamed.

So. Trotting out the same old warnings, almost exclusively to women, reinforces the whole “it was still your fault, even if it wasn’t” crap going on in our society. Packaging it as somehow novel advice is just offensive.

Thanks for clean-up OBS.

No biggy, it’s a team effort.

so is tsam being nym-jacked by our resident troll or the really, really freaky one…and i’m still not convinced they are not all one guy…

I’ll use whatever fucking word I want to describe a stupid asshole that tries to mitigate the definition of rape to make it less of a crime if a woman is dressed a certain way, behaving “provocatively”, or incapacitated by a drug.

Feel free to just go ahead an read past my posts if you have fucking problem with it. That’s what I do with a certain group of people that just increased by one.

Concern trolls are almost as bad as troll trolls.

bbkf should avoid The British Isles and especially Ireland. The c word is bandied about with mad abandon. Straya too.

“Don’t get stupid drunk” is good advice, but it only seems to be given to women. It should be given to men, too.

It should be–as well as “any sex that isn’t absolutely consensual and interactive is RAPE.

Other reasonable advice, like “Try not to be in sketchy areas if you can avoid it” also tends only to be given to women

It’s mostly given to women because women make up a sickeningly large majority of violent crime victims.

have you seen or read any of the commentary about us ‘owning’ the word…

It’s called cooption. We queers took back “queer” by making it our own. Idea is that they can no longer use it as an epithet when we use it ourselves. Some of us tried to the same with “fag” but it didn’t get widely enough accepted so fag is still a nasty word.

so is tsam being nym-jacked by our resident troll or the really, really freaky one.

Somewhat unsurprisingly, it’s been done by both freaks.

oooh, i know! it’s not that i’m being disapproving of the word…it’s just not one i’m comfortable with using on a reglar basis…but i also used to think that way about ‘fuck’ and look how much i use it now!

I’m against using that word on general principles but even if you’re not, a good reason not to use it is because doing so sends the troll off into spasms of fake outrage and then we have to cleanup after it.

I apologize to you for that, but I’m not going to apologize to anyone else. This is the second time I’ve been outwardly or implicitly accused of being sexist because I decided to use the nastiest word I could find for the nastiest person I found yesterday.

Some of us tried to the same with “fag” but it didn’t get widely enough accepted so fag is still a nasty word.

luckily, for me, ‘retard’ didn’t suffer that same fate…i get the same argument about it though…that by co-opting it, we’ll weaken it’s power…but the thing is, others have the cognizance to recognize who they are…people with special needs, for the most part, can’t make that distinction…

This is the second time I’ve been outwardly or implicitly accused of being sexist because I decided to use the nastiest word I could find for the nastiest person I found yesterday.

Wingnuts discuss class action suit against homosexuality, I shit you not…

http://www.examiner.com/article/scarborough-labarbera-considering-class-action-lawsuit-against-homosexuality

I’m guessing they’re going to track down Dorothy and serve her the papers?

“Yeah I think that’s great,” LaBarbera replied. “I would love to see it. We always wanted to see one of the kid in high school who was counseled by the official school counselor to just be gay, then he comes down with HIV. But we never really got the client for that.”

It would be SO TERRIFIC if a kid got AIDS. Fingers crossed!

We always wanted to see one of the kid in high school who was counseled by the official school counselor to just be gay, then he comes down with HIV. But we never really got the client for that

I weep for your loss.

That is a can of worms I would have thought they would be smart enough not to open. I mean, if that works, why do they imagine they would be safe from class action wrongful death lawsuits from the families of every gay person ever murdered or driven to suicide by evangelical nutjobs?

soooooo…homosexuality is just like smoking? and one can just kick the butt habit?

Wingnuts discuss class action suit against homosexuality, I shit you not…

Hey, when I post nonsense it was at least sorta funny… Oh wait, that’s a real thing. Never mind.

Not just like quitting smoking, the patch is bigger and differently shaped for one thing…

Let the fatcats at Big Homo put THAT in their pipes and…hang on…

If anybody wants to feel just little more stabby, the awful slate woman wrote a self-congratulatory followup article.

Gah!

If they’re going to sue the corporation that makes gays, then we can sue the corporations that make guns when kids/innocents get killed by them. I say we take that road.

So who would be the defendant in a class action suit against homosexuality? Is there a gay pope or are they incorporated?

It’s kinda hard to quit the butt habit, since my e-penis is shaped just like a penis.

So who would be the defendant in a class action suit against homosexuality?

Either Kathy Griffin or Flo from the Progressive commercials.

If you think you can sue because of AIDS, though, lesbians are not going to be your target. It’s like thinking lung cancer is bad so you sue dry ice smoke machines.

If they’re going to sue the corporation that makes gays, then we can sue the corporations that make guns when kids/innocents get killed by them. I say we take that road.

they’ll continue along that path until they have another, ‘oh shit’ moment when they realize the incredible stupidity and hypocrisy of their argument…but i guess the original topic of this thread would prove that wrong, wouldn’t it…and i’ll give you one good guess why that is…

Ugh. It’s been an annoying (and expensive) day.

I spent the day in Memphis sorting out a dead battery on my trusty 94 Buick “airport car”.

Long story short it involved getting a hotel room, a rental car, a new battery and a new solar-powered battery charger plus a couple trips back and forth across Memphis. Probably came to $400 by the time it was all said and done. Oh well, cost of doing business.

The car gets driven very rarely but I need to be confident that it will start when I need it.

Car like that you could get the marine panels and epoxy them to the roof.

I’ve thought about it. It wouldn’t look any worse and it might be an improvement.

I bought this thing because:

1. It was the last of the big, rear-wheel-drive GMs.

2. It has enough motor (5.7 V8 same as that year’s Corvette) to stay out of the way of stupid Memphis drivers.

3. It has enough metal in case #2 fails.

“What I’m saying,” Fischer explained, “is that if we do not, as a nation, come to the place of national repentance over the sin of abortion, there’s going to be civil war again in this country; there is going to be anarchy, there is going to be unrest, there will be growing violence”

DHS might want to have a lil’ talk with him about that and whether or not it constitutes a threat, especially being that Fissssscher is the one who’s given Obama an ultimatum to get out of the WH or else.

1. It was the last of the big, rear-wheel-drive GMs.

Is the fuel economy better or worse than the planes you fly?

Is the fuel economy better or worse than the planes you fly?

Gas mileage on the highway is surprisingly good. I’ve seen as high as 27.

Around town it’s about what you’d expect. I’m not sure the car even gets driven 1000 miles in a year so it’s not that big a deal.

It only gets used when I’m in Memphis for training or on the occasional day when I get stuck here between trips.

I used to borrow a 90 Park Ave. for road trips and did a lot of comfy miles in it. Doesn’t fit a bass real well but if either of us could bring a groupie sea hag wench along we’d settle for electric bass guitar.

“What I’m saying,” Fischer explained, “is that if we do not, as a nation, come to the place of national repentance over the sin of abortion, there’s going to be civil war again in this country; there is going to be anarchy, there is going to be unrest, there will be growing violence”

Sounds like a threat to me, too.

especially being that Fissssscher is the one who’s given Obama an ultimatum to get out of the WH or else

And that definitely sounds like one.

That guy’s repugnant. If he weren’t an American by birth, he’d be flinging bombs, perhaps literally, at the ungodly Americans.

Doesn’t fit a bass real well

I’ve got the sedan, but a Roadmaster wagon would probably fit a bass in the back pretty easily.

The bass around there don’t grow that big, do they? I mean, it ain’t Texas.

If he weren’t an American by birth, he’d be flinging bombs, perhaps literally, at the ungodly Americans.

Seems to me he just threatened to bombs, literally, at the ungodly Americans.

Seems to me he just threatened to bombs, literally, at the ungodly Americans.

Well, yeah. What I was trying to say, too circuitously, is the guy’s basically anti-American. If he weren’t a birthright American, no way would he qualify.

This isn’t the first time Fisssscher has speculated about wonderful, wonderful violence against America:

“There are a number of avenues,” Fischer stated, “starting right where we’re at right now that could lead to bloodshed, could lead to anarchy, could lead to chaos in America.”

After insisting that he does not want to see anything like that happen, Fischer warned that the fact that members of Congress are reluctant to hold town hall meetings during the August recess could lead to a revolution.

Boston drivers are very aggressive but they’re at least predictable.

Memphis drivers can also be aggressive but they tend to do stupid random shit when you least expect it.

I had an example just today.

I was returning my rental car. It’s clearly marked “Rental Car Return – no private vehicles”.

I’m already in the exit for the car-return lane, with curbs on either side, when the guy moron ahead of me, who obviously didn’t read the sign, realizes his mistake and starts BACKING UP!!!!

Be very careful driving here. Half of them are trying to go 90 and the other half are trying to go 50. It doesn’t mix well.

Man, fetuses hold grudges.

Drivers down here in SC seem to think they’re all NASCAR drivers

My absolute worst driving experience ever was going from D.C.to West Virginia–over the Appalachians. Two-lane mountain roads, mile after mile after mile, at night in foggy rain, with visibility maybe 40 yards. The worst part was, several times cars whipped around me and left me behind. Now I know why NASCAR is so big in W. Va. I’ve never been so glad to get anywhere in my life as I was to pull into that hotel.

Funny thing was, I drove back the same way the next day, during a bright clear day, and it was one of the prettiest drives I’ve ever had.

If zombie feti were so vengeful you’d think they’d scourge Russia or Romania where fetus ghosts are teeming like Alaska mosquitoes.

there is going to be anarchy, there is going to be unrest, there will be growing violence”

Anarchy, heh, in a police state.
Unrest; throwing Krispy Kremes at the teevee.
Violence; lowest crime rates in a generation.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a maple leaf, fluttering against a human face—forever!

Two-lane mountain roads, mile after mile after mile, at night in foggy rain, with visibility maybe 40 yards.

Makes landing in Huntington WV an experience. Even when the visibility is good, they built the relatively short runway by leveling off a mountain top.

For those who have Netflix streaming, I suggest Trollhunter, an inventive Norwegian film (subtitles, but easy to watch). It is filmed in the ‘found footage’ style, but is wonderfully watchable, imo. I gave it 5 stars and have watched it twice. (The average of 601,000 rating is 3.6.) Netflix tags the film as “exciting” and “imaginative” … and some parts of it are hilarious. Netflix describes it thusly:

While investigating a series of suspicious bear killings, a group of students trail a mysterious “hunter” who tries to elude them at every turn. The group soon learns that his prey is far more dangerous and mystical than mere bears.

There are multiple troll species portrayed in the film. Perhaps our own vigilant Trollhunters will recognize Dennis and the Nymjackers (*)…

Damn, it looks like the prophesies say the the Tea Party will win.

If one had a Celtic gig it could be the Sláinte Six.

I would listen to a John Cage cover band called the Silent Six.

Hey Smyt, got any ideas about this polypore?

First look.

Second look.

I think it comes under the category of edible but not delicious but I’d listen to second opinions, it’s semi-tropical and I haven’t been able to nail it down.

Oh yeah, that’s 13 cm across.

A true conservative and leader of the peeple gets convicted for battery:

A jury dealt a swift blow to Brian Calhoun’s justification for fighting with a female student in March, taking only one hour to find the former Fresno City College instructor guilty of misdemeanor battery.

Calhoun, 69, closed his eyes and had a scowl once the verdict was announced in Fresno County Superior Court. His attorney, Roger Nuttall, grabbed Calhoun’s right arm and shook it, but Calhoun kept this eyes closed even while jurors were being polled individually about their verdict.

Once Judge Denise Whitehead scheduled a Nov. 22 sentencing date, Calhoun rushed out of Department 72, bypassed the elevator and raced down seven flights of stairs without commenting.

His wife, Elaine, followed in his wake.

Calhoun lost his job over the March 22 incident and was sued by the victim, Kevynn Gomez — who was portrayed Friday by Calhoun’s attorney as part of “the thug culture.”

In 2004, Calhoun pleaded guilty to drunken driving after getting pulled over on Election night after winning a second term to the Fresno City Council. He was given probation back then.

Fuck knows if person A does something wrong it is an indictment of all people in A’s category, unless OF COURSE A is a conservative. BSUTW.

Funny you should ask that, troll:

October 19, 2013, 5:19 p.m.

SAN DIEGO – A day earlier than anticipated, ex-Mayor Bob Filner, who pleaded guilty to three charges of mistreating women, was booked and released Saturday morning at the downtown county jail.

San Diego County Superior Court Judge Robert Trentacosta had ordered that Filner be booked and released Sunday. Instead, the 71-year-old appeared at the jail and was photographed and fingerprinted by 9 a.m.

Filner on Tuesday pleaded guilty to felony false imprisonment and two counts of misdemeanor battery. Prosecutors did not seek to require bail.

Trentacosta ordered a probation report be done before the Dec. 9 sentencing.

Under a plea agreement with the state attorney general’s office, Filner will not serve any jail or prison time, but will spend three months of home confinement, undergo mental health counseling and agree never to seek public office.

He may also face fines and restitution to three victims, identified as Jane Doe 1, 2 and 3.

The plea bargain also calls for him to forfeit most of his mayoral pension. His pensions from being a history professor at San Diego State and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives won’t be touched.

Filner, the city’s first Democratic mayor in two decades, resigned Aug. 30 under an agreement with the City Council in which the city will defend him against a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by his former director of communications. She was one of 19 women who went public with accusations against Filner during a six-week scandal.

Yep, justice is served to yet another mayor of San Diego. Maybe when he finishes serving his sentence, he can do a PSA about how women have to not get too drunk in public lest they meet someone like him.

Sadly, No! isn’t being funny right now. I think it’s broken.

Dinosaur erotica!

I think it’s broken.

Well, there’s your problem. Someone keeps obsessively jamming a spanner into the works.

Manifold Destiny.

helped ensure that the sick fucks who did the raping go free because the passed out victim couldn’t offer enough credible testimony to convict the sick fuck who raped her.

Jesus fucking Christ, that’s like saying that we should have income caps because if you earn too much money it’s an incentive for someone to mug you.

Anything not to blame the fratboys, though, right? Boys will be boys! HURR HURR

I know they’re omnipresent Pere but hang tough; do not engage.

you’re in favor of encouraging behavior that contributed to their rape,

Just in case you missed it the first time:

Greta cited it, correctly, as an example of how anti-rape messages aimed at telling men not to rape work, and much better than telling women to live their lives in fear of rapists.

Hey Smyt, got any ideas about this polypore?

Looks like a bolete, but I’ve never seen one with a shaggy top like that.

It is a right of every person in the world to be able to get drunk as a thousand rabbits, to explore the outer limits of their consciousness to dance bare foot on a grave and sing hallelujah and not not be raped.
It is a searing indictment upon the pathetic excuses for men that we, as a society raise, that women have to even think about “being careful”. Why should this be?
You leave me alone and I leave you alone. Unless there is mutual agreement about the jigginess of the occasion.
Fuck off rape apologists.

“you don’t care that you’ve increased the odds of their getting raped beforehand.”

We didn’t increase the odds of anything. We’re not telling college girls, or anyone else, to drink in excess–or how to drink at all. We’re simply saying that if a young woman should commit the very human weakness of drinking too much, being raped is not a price she should have to pay, and saying “don’t drink too much” is singularly unhelpful advice for a rape victim.

So I guess if I’m at a party and someone passes out drunk it’s OK for me to take their wallet.

I mean, hey, they were asking for it.

I guess it’s OK for me to take their watch and sell it on ebay while I’m at it.

They should know better than to drink too much.

Definitely a bolete, growing on mimosa (invasive, not native) stump.I’ve collected strobilomyces here and this seems similar. There’s a dozen of them around the yard today and they’re tempting, maybe for drying and stock making.

And if they left their car keys sitting out they obviously wanted me to have their car.

Ever leave your plane keys out, Major?

(Do planes even have keys? I’ve always wondered about that.)

(Do planes even have keys? I’ve always wondered about that.)

General aviation aircraft (Cessnas and such) have keys.

Air Force aircraft are guarded by bored 18-year-olds with M-16s who would love nothing more than to shoot someone because it would at least be a break from the mind-numbing boredom.

No, the Major sums it up perfectly well.

There’s a dozen of them around the yard today and they’re tempting, maybe for drying and stock making.

Makes sense, you can let them dry while you find out what they are.

All y’all that were watching badgers dance and not listening to game 6, well, you missed something amazing.

El Manquécito, I disagree with Herr Doktor, don’t think it looks like cepes at all. I’d ask the experts at reddit. reddit.com/r/mycology If you don’t have a reddit account I’ll post an ID request for you.

“There are old mushroom hunters, there are bold mushroom hunters, but there are no old, bold, mushroom hunters.”

Something to keep in mind when dealing with specimens of Basidiomycota.

There are old mushroom hunters, there are bold mushroom hunters, but there are no old, bold, mushroom hunters

Some varieties of mushroom are particularly dangerous because they don’t make you sick right away. Then a few weeks later your organs start failing for no apparent reason.

I still see badgers aplenty.
.

Must be the mushrooms.

There are some varieties that have the same effect as Antabuse, they can be poisonous if you eat them and ingest wine or another form of alcohol at the same time.

Never said it was cepes Pup, there’s lots of boletes. It solved the problem by deliquescing into a black puddle like coprinus (shaggy mane) which it obviously wasn’t either. I like shaggy manes.

There’s a bunch of polypores around here that are just not culinarily attractive and this can be added to the list.

Thanks for the offer of the reddit ID. Imma gonna see a local naturalist friend later in the week and she’ll have the answer. As to the scary dangers of wild mushroom eating, well, y’all don’t have to.

Nom nom nom.

I had a micophile friend that made a venison/red wine/shaggy mane stew like a civet only eastern European that was so excellent served on wide egg noodles.

Change of pace today. No eggs Benny, we’re out for dim sum. Yum.

I’ve got no coprinus pics but I do have my own log grown shitakes.

Curses. I’d have to drive four hours to get to decent dim sum.

Guy who splits his time here and Hong Kong rec’d this place. ‘Syummy.

Better to be a worry-wart about wild mushroom consumption that to be on a waiting list for a liver transplant, IMHO.

The Slant Six is the best band name I’ve heard in a long time.

Been done.

I had a couple LARGE downed oak trees in my PA yard on which I farmed shiitakes intensely. One of the few things I really miss about central PA.

Yeah, growing shiitakes is fun. Best duxelles ever.

Commericially grown mushrooms are a perfectly congruent representation of Teahadis:

They’re grown in the dark.

They’re fed bullshit.

They provide profit to the growers, in this analogy, that would be the Koch Bros and Freedumb Works.

Now that I think about it, living in Oregon with a truffle hunting dog more than makes up for the shiitake garden. Also I snagged a shitload of beautiful chanterelles near Mt. Hood last week.

Congratulations to the people of the state of NJ, its a good reminder that not everything is getting worse at an increasing rate.

When can we start banning opposite sex marriage?

Funny from DKW’s link

Why is everyone so down on marriage?

Trolls have learned there’s a morning mod gap (a yawning gap, natch).

Yeah, JFK cut the top tax rate all the way down to something like 65%.

Want to go back to that, troll-eoleo?

LOL @ Tea Party patriot

Ooh! Ooh! Can I play?

Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.
– President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 11/8/54

How about one from St. Ronnie of Raygun:

We’re going to close the unproductive tax loopholes that allow some of the truly wealthy to avoid paying their fair share. In theory, some of those loopholes were understandable, but in practice they sometimes made it possible for millionaires to pay nothing, while a bus driver was paying ten percent of his salary, and that’s crazy. […] Do you think the millionaire ought to pay more in taxes than the bus driver or less?

Here’s another one from that socialist hippie Ronald Reagan:

Where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost.

If I recall correctly, didn’t Ronald Reagan get his start in politics shortly after his term as president of the Screen Actors Guild? So- not just a union member, also a union president.

So- not just a union member, also a union president.

Wouldn’t the correct Fox News terminology be “big labor boss” or better yet “union thug”?

If I recall correctly, didn’t Ronld Reagan get his start in politics shortly after his term as president of the Screen Actors Guild? So- not just a union member, also a union president.

Guess he had a liberal (or at least pro-union) speechwriter then. As my mother remarked while he was CA Governor, the problem with Ronnie was that he always did what his advisors told him to. Since you had no way of knowing in advance who his advisors would be, you didn’t know what he’d be doing.

Elephant PEE.

The team filmed rats, dogs, goats, cows and elephants urinating and gathered footage from YouTube of others relieving themselves. Combining this with data on mass, bladder pressure and urethra size, they were able to create a mathematical model of urinary systems to show why mammals take the same time to empty their bladder, despite the difference in bladder size.

Former Tea Party Candidate Against Government Healthcare Has 10 Kids on Medicaid
The guy believes that it is morally wrong to accept government healthcare and wants you to stop him receiving it by abolishing the benefit so that no-one receives it. Personal responsibility!
To put it another way… he wants to discredit the system so that everyone else shares his contempt for it. And the best way to do that is to abuse it. So not only is he receiving $$$, his behaviour turns out to meet his high moral standards after all. Marvellous how neatly it works out.

Tea partiers are the welfare moms who drive cadillacs.

Here’s another one from that socialist hippie Ronald Reagan:

Where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost.

That must have been said in his impetuous youth. He later found himself when he fired the air traffic controllers. He didn’t forbid that union, merely crushed it.

Tea partiers are the welfare moms who drive cadillacs.

I dunno. Since “welfare moms who drive Cadillacs”* are a fiction, and the TPers are all too real, I’d disagree. Unless, of course, you’re casting the TPers as people who get far more out of the system than others, at everyone else’s expense. Then I’d agree, though I’d say the “welfare mom, etc” also carries the “those people” dogwhistle.

*Largely fictional. There probably are welfare moms driving old Caddy beaters, because they can’t afford anything better/more reliable/cheaper to drive.

Cadillacs are the home-school busses of Tea-party welfarism.

Since “welfare moms who drive Cadillacs”* are a fiction

In the Reaganite sense, absolutely. Political scammers and bankers are another matter.

I suspect he was talking about Solidarnosc (Solidarity). He was fine with unions as long as they were in Poland.

Ah, here it is. http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/religious-right-activists-attack-jon-stewart-hypothetically-discriminating-against-christian

Wright, the former head of Concerned Women for America who is now vice president of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM), was upset about a Daily Show segment from 2005 that poked fun of the “Christian persecution complex,” noting Christianity’s ascendency in the West following the conversion of Constantine I. Wright said she couldn’t understand why Stewart thinks “we are in charge and we are the oppressors,” referring to the Crusades as an instance in which Christians faced persecution. “I guess he never heard of the Crusades; the Crusades were actually defensive against the Muslim hordes,” she said.”

Actually I’m almost surprised some deranged, tech savvy person hasn’t already rigged a homebrew version of this up, for a mass shooting.

Might as well think big. Build an army of them and hold the world hostage for one meeeeeelion dollars!

the Crusades were actually defensive against the Muslim hordes

The Crusades were an excuse to get the knights out of France and give them something to do besides tearing up everything in France fighting with each other.

Not to mention sacking Constantinople and killing every Jew they met on the way to the holy land.

Read a book about Eleanor of Aquitaine a while back. As I recall, the Crusade she put together was a complete and total fuckup. They lost most of their army and ended up attacking Damascus (even though Damascus was at that time non-hostile and trading with Jerusalem) becuase, well, they had to attack _something_! Said attack failed miserably.

” the Crusades were actually defensive against the Muslim hordes,” 

Sure, in the “he hit my fist with his face” sense.

Not to mention sacking Constantinople and killing every Jew they met on the way to the holy land.

DEFENSIVELY, though.

The Crusaders were just standing their ground!

Not to mention sacking Constantinople

And if one were to suggest to her this drastically weakened Constantinople so they were less able to withstand the Ottomans…

Ever seen those home videos of dad getting whacked in the nuts by a baby? Well THE CRUSADERS SAW THOSE VIDEOS TOO.

What does the name “Substance” mean? A name is much more than just a name!

S is for secret, that you can certainly keep.
U is for unbreakable, your spirit is strong.
B is for busy, your never idle life.
S is for sweetheart, you really are!
T is for tender, loving nature.
A is for able, for you surely are.
N is for name, a pleasant one indeed.
C is for captive, your web of charm.
E is for enrich, a quality you share.

Out of 5,364,811 records in the U.S. Social Security Administration public data, the name “Substance” was not present. It is possible the name you are searching has less than five occurrences per year in each state. You might want to use a short version of your first name or perhaps your nickname.

On the other hand, you simply have a name that no one else in America is using. For 132 years only your parents have thought of using your name. Hoorah! You are a unique individual.

Substance, know more about your family history and ancestors. You can search over 1.5 billion records online!

Your name in reverse order is “Ecnatsbus”. A random rearrangement of the letters in your name (anagram) will give ‘Ebsutnsac’.

Your past life Substance:

I do not know how you feel about it, but you were a female in your last earthly incarnation. You were born somewhere around the territory of Thailand approximately on 1750. Your profession was sailor, shoemaker.

Your brief psychological profile in that past life:

Inquisitive, inventive, liked to get to the very bottom of things and to rummage in books. Talent for drama, natural born actor.

Lessons that your last past life brought to present:

Your lesson – to learn discretion and reason and then teach others to do that. Your life will be happier, when you help those who lack reasoning.

Now do you remember?

Why does it not surprise me that Substance is delinquent on his payroll taxes.

Harrumph.

it’s also possible that you have (unintentionally?) triggered an English bad word listed in the profanity database.

It’s a good thing I’m on my fone or y’all would learn the meaning of Manquécito.

See?

I told you guys years ago that the fucking trolls weren’t real, and letting them piss all over your living room in the name of some kind of fucking ‘openness’ was stupid, and destructive to the community.

Wonder what it could have been like if SN! admins had the courage to shut down the stupid….

Your name in reverse order is “Daerht”. A random rearrangement of the letters in your name (anagram) will give ‘Adhert’.

I also was a sailor/shoemaker in my past life, which seems an odd combination. I was a Japanese male though, about 5 years younger than past-life Substance. But Substance and I have the same lesson to bring to this new life. I guess our lives will be miserable until we can figure out some way to help Dennis.

Robots with machine guns could be on the battlefield within 5 years.
