I'm thankful that everyone I know, liberal or conservative, strongly opposes anti-vaxxers. My relatives can occasionally be irritating with their politics, but at least we share some common ground.

Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

Vaccines are awesomesauce!

There needs to be a mass-protest of Pro-Vaxxers! Make a big noise, a huge stink!

Have a few Pro-Vaxxer celebs show up on a show involving Oprah! Undo the Oprah-based Jenny McCarthy stupidity!

The Great Disneyland Measles Mess of 2015 should be a big wake-up call against Anti-Vax nuts.....Like Emmett Till & Rosa Parks was to the Civil Rights Movement....Jesse Washington was to the Anti-Lynching Movement....Adam Walsh to Child Abductions....Stonewall Uprising & Matthew Shepherd to LGBT Rights....Rachel Carson's Silent Spring to Environmentalism....and so on....

I'm all for Freedom of Speech but there needs to be a huge Anti-Conspiracy Nut Backlash noise because Conspiracy theories aren't as harmless as you think. It sows distrust of everything, stifles political participation, sews bigotry, stifles progress & gives new life to once-eradicated diseases! It's STUPID!

It's okay to question things like Government and such but to go "Tin-Foil Hat" on everything is idiotic!

Jon Stewart addresses the stupidity of the anti-vaccine stance.

If you can't view the video from comedy central, here is one from Yahoo! news.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

With the Fifty Shades of Grey movie coming out soon, there are edited posters showing how awful and misogynistic the books are.



Yes, that's straight from the book.  No, it's not "consensual non-con".

So?

Some people are into reading that stuff. I'm sure there's even kinkier fiction out there.

I remember that after I did some digging to get the actual page number for it, it turned out the infamous mother hamster quote isn't actually in the book. That said, what does it say about the book that almost nobody doubted it was in there, including people who had read the entire book?

History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

One of my best friends is an ex-domme.  I asked her about Fifty Shades and her opinion on it.

Her answer? "Fifty Shades is to BDSM what CSI and Law and Order are to actual criminal proceedings, and it's incredibly fucking insulting."

"So... unhappy about it?"

"Give me ten minutes alone with the author with a razor, salt and lemon juice.  My rage might be quenched by then.  Maybe."

The whole book is about rape and control. A girl is raped and forced into a BDSM-type relationship which somehow turns into "true love". The book also trashes real BDSM, associating it with both rape & mental issues. The whole this is DUMB DUMB DUMB.

Plus, from what I've heard, it's horribly-written and about as erotic as a clipped-off toenail.

What's this thing about the hamster? Can anyone explain?

Hm. On the one hand, there's nothing wrong with non-con porn (it's fiction, not like anyone is getting hurt). On the other, apparently the book is not trying to be non-con, it's trying to be BDSM and failing miserably.

On the metaphorical third hand, I don't intend to read the book, watch the movie, or otherwise interact with the thing at all, so why do I care?

There’s a place so dark you can’t see the end
Skies cock back and shock that which can’t defend
The rain then sends dripping / an acidic question
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes shut / looking thought the rust and rot
And dust / a small spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
The eyes ease open and its dark again
