WHITE POWER COMES TO MIDVALE!

(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/6183/midale2.jpg)

Read the whole thing here (http://www.aryan-nation.org/zog/WHITEPOWERCOMESTOMIDVALE/page_01.htm.html). Funnily enough there's an altered version in existence, which retains the racism but removes all references to Nazism - for the non-denominational white nationalist, presumably.

I suppose someone decided the swastika is the religious symbol of Nazi Mysticism? :S

But oh my gosh those cartoons are a hoot and a half.

Edited to add- Oh goodness, it's hosted on Aryan-Nation.org? I haven't seen those chaps in a while when it comes to this sort of thing.

Isn't it illegal to show a swastika on German television?

No. Not really. It is illegal to show it in a 'positive light' but if you show that it's educational than no. Many games and documentaries have gotten the educational exception for the swastika. Not to mention you can also have it plastered on a book cover if you like.  However, I don't mean animated cartoons. Aryan-Nation.org likewise is not stationed in Germany.

I would like to see how someone in Germany is able to surf to a site like Aryan-Nation.org as I am not knowledgeable in that part of things. I only know of the movies, shows and video games.

And the Swastika isn't even magically linked to Nazi Mysticism. They used a completely different symbol for that. So I'm a little puzzled over replacing it with the 'life rune' which admittedly is used in Nazi Mysticism.

I apologize if I misunderstood the question tho.

Panel 2: As long as he keeps it in the bedroom and doesn't try to impose it on other people, that's fine.

They're, so far as I can tell, homeopathic nutjobs. So the government mandating vaccinations and removing kids from the care of parents who deny them life-saving treatments (when there is no legitimate reason to do so) would be the tyranny they're afraid of.

Why do they always make the swatiska the symbol for white people?  What if I, a white person, think the nazis were clueless douche bags?

An the life rune as a substitute?  Now all white people are nordic!  What the hell?

Well I guess the options are limited.   What could we draw to represent white people?

If both are hiding in my house, then obviously I fear the black man more than the spider. Not because he is black, but because he is a man - a human being, capable of using tools and intelligence to inflict far more pain than a spider could ever dream of.

Also, because I can't squish him underfoot.

I think I mentioned this before but some people don't out and out deny that the Holocaust existed but rather on what scale. Why? Because some people can't wrap their mind around such massive atrocities.

With that said... if anyone is curious about what some deniers are reading this site (http://www.codoh.com/revision.html) holds a lot of the different theories and 'papers' and 'research' that is being touted around.

Because they have this persecution complex and admitting the holocaust happened would mean there would be other, more significant, victims.

So to them, Hitler was just a nice guy who neither invaded other countries in violation of their sovereignty nor committed the most well known act of genocide in history. I just wonder what they could do if all that effort spent on mental gymnastics was used productively.

I remember someone in my JROTC class wouldn't sit still or be quiet during the pledge (and I don't mean they couldn't. I mean they wouldn't and they'd mutter about how stupid it was). I had to wonder why they were in JROTC if they couldn't stand at attention for a few seconds or even wanted to say the pledge. It was fine with the Chief if someone didn't want to but you did have to come to attention for it. It was JROTC for crying out loud.

As much as I abhor Holocaust denial, I'm not terribly fond of laws banning the expression of those opinions.

The Pledge of Allegiance

I find the whole concept rather disconcerting. Gaining loyalty through rote is too cult-like for my tastes. Plus, people should be pledging allegiance to humanity, not a flag.

Possibly the fight in Afghanistan. Assuming the enemy over there was in any sort of position to launch further strikes. But then again, then the actual threat to our rights, as opposed to our personal safety, actually came from Congress.

For some people it is.  Particularly SHARPs (Skin Heads Against Racial Prejudice).  IIRC, you can identify a SHARP by their bootlaces: red laces over black boots (interestingly, I met a SHARP once who wore Oxblood Grinders with black laces for the same reason).  True Skins generally wear white laces over black boots (get it?).  Of course, there are those on both sides that wear black/black because they don't bother to change the laces or just don't care/know.

There are other indicators that I don't recall offhand since it's been quite a few years since I have been around any SHARPs (or True Skins).  SHARPs and True Skins are often (not always) rival factions.

The irony is that Afghanistan never posed any kind of threat to our actual rights. All the shit that's been dismantled, is being dismantled, is stuff that we're doing to ourselves. Wrapped in a flag, and carrying the cross.

And when was the last war that was fought to prevent an actual threat?

The American Right likes to think that it is being persecuted on all ends by Muslims and commies. They still live in the 50's mindset that a nuke is going to drop and blow us all up any minute now if we don't worship the military-industrial complex and recite mindless jingoistic mantras.

Having served in the US Military I can say the pledge definitely has it's place, and I encourage its use for military personnel and other government workers (such as politicians) as upholding it is a part of their specific duty. I do not, however, think it really belongs in our schools. Children are not able to really understand it when it's first done (I remember it being recited as early as Kindergarten, though I can't remember if it was in pre-school or not), and putting it in such a place makes them feel it's a necessity instead of a choice. Some people desire to move to another country when they grow up (for whatever reason), and there's also the issue of exchange students and students who are a citizen of multiple countries. I also do not appreciate it made into something that people will mindlessly recite, as that is one of the best ways to degrade it into complete meaninglessness.

It makes sense in the military and the government, because in that case you really are working for the sake of your country. It's the school pledges that make my blood boil, because it's imposing a belief system on children who don't necessarily accept it. There are a number of foreign exchange students at my school (from Argentina, Northern Ireland, Germany, etc.) and none of them stand to do the pledge. There are even teachers who have immigrated from other countries, and they do not stand to do the pledge.

I would actually prefer a pledge to the constitution than the flag, as I feel it makes far more sense. I would say pledging it to the country as a whole and its ideals would be better, but I think the constitution holds the ideals in as concrete a manner as possible.

In my almost 4 years in a U.S. public high school, I have never once seen any student stand at attention like that and actually recite the pledge. Sure, most of them will stand up, but that's about it. No hand-over-chest, no facing the flag, and definitely no verbal recitation.

Kids don't give as much of a shit about their loyalty pledge as these people seem to think.

I thought "Under God" was added during the Cold War because America wanted to distance itself from those filthy godless commies as much as possible.

Under God was added in 1954 despite Bellamy's family's protests. The official story is that Bowman first added "Under God" because of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. The Knights of Columbus added it a bit earlier than 1954. Langmack wrote to have it officially added to the Pledge spoken by all across the US. Eisenhower, at Docherty's service and being a born again Christian felt that Under God should be added in there to affirm the US's spirituality and faith in God.

Though some people have taken it to believe it was added during the 50s because of Communist hate. It was more like we had a born again Christian who was all too eager to go 'hey guys, guys, look I'm a Christian! Look! I added Under God into a pledge everyone has to recite! Look!" But that's my take on it. Bellamy's family has never forgiven the change. For multiple reasons.

This actually proves Dawkin's point. So the boy made the pony, and even though the pony can not see or hear the boy, the boy exists. Gotcha. The boy is supposed to represent the God that created us, the God that we can neither see nor hear. I'm with the cartoonist so far....but wait. The point the cartoon is trying to refute is the "who created God" bit. But....the boy, our metaphor for God in this cartoon, has a verifiable, identifiable creator in his parents, and a well-understood method by which he was created.

The cartoon seems to be arguing that God indeed does have a creator. But if God has a creator, then wouldn't that make him limited and therefore.....not God?

This cartoon argues against itself.

That's supposed to be Beyonce and Jay-Z. Still have no clue what the cartoon is trying to say, though. Are they attention-whoring their child? Black people like precious metals?
I think it's referring to how they included cries of their newborn into their newest song.

Not to mention having the hospital turn off the security cameras on that floor.

On the other hand, TMZ and a dozens of other tabloid publications around the world would pay thousands of dollars for a photo, cell phone video, leaked security tape, or any visual record of them and their baby so long as it was an exclusive. While there is a degree of attention whoring going on, I can't really blame them for wanting absolute privacy during the birthing process or making art (because that's their job) about their new baby. Call them diva demands, but I really get Beyonce not wanting some schmuck trying to capture a cell phone video of her in labor.

Fair enough. Asking the nurses to hand over the cell phones and turning off the security cameras directly in their area I understand.

Trying to block a father from getting into, and then out of, the NICU was a horrid move by her security staff. For what they allegedly spent on this affair they could have had a private doctor at home.

Not just mothers - many bright young male students have had to give up study and take dead-end jobs just to provide for their new family :(

You gave them 50 years? How charming.

My money says we will see this same cartoon within 30 years. The judge will be talking to an interracial gay couple and their adopted children. He'll be being pulled away by multiple partners.

Cause after homosexual marriage the only consenting adults we don't have covered would be poly. And, as Dave Attel said:

I would hope it'd be 30 years instead of 50.  Then, I'd probably be able to see it.  Sure, I'd be pushing 70, but even so, it'd be beautiful if I lived long enough to see the human race take that step forward. :)

Also, on his site, he explains that in his painting "One Nation Under God", each person represents a symbol of something that "influenced the Constitution in a positive way." Which basically means he thinks Palpatine did some good.

My first impression was a judge, and looking at the site shows that it is supposed to be a supreme court judge, being there because of the "evil" rulings; most likely things like Roe vs Wade, LGBTQI protections, and other such liberal rulings that uphold the actual spirit of the constitution.

They aren't totally illegal. It depends on the state, although it is illegal in most states. In those states where it is legal the reasons a woman can get one are very limited.

We'll just have to all marry each other in different districts, because of the whole polygamy thing, and then we can have some kind of awesome three-way marriage that will make Ironbite's head explode.

Which is why I'd never work at a Catholic hospital.  Got one in Little Rock, St. Vincent, and I'd rather work at Wal-Mart or McDonald's.  They pay might be shittier, but at least I won't even nominally be supporting the Catholic church...and I have a smaller chance of running into my grandfather.  Though, it would afford me the chance to say something I've always wanted to say to him: "I can't be a vulture; that assumes that I'd care when you die."

Uhm... do any of these people realize that THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO UTILIZE CONTRACEPTION EVENTUALLY HAVE CHILDREN ANYWAY?

People who either elect voluntarily not to reproduce or are in some other way unable to do it (infertility, being trans, being gay) and don't utilize fertility treatments are in the minority. A tiny minority. MOST PEOPLE STILL HAVE CHILDREN AND CONTRACEPTION USE DOES NOT CHANGE THAT. All it does is let people decide for themselves when and how often.

Of course anything but GAWD'S WILL is unacceptable, amirite?

Which is only funny because he's totally against government handouts.

Well, see, handouts are only bad when it is SOMEONE ELSE getting the handout.

I would take this a step further and say that killing anyone (whose not armed and on the field of battle of course) without trial is wrong. We should have taken every chance possible to give Bin Laden a "fair" trail (how fair can it be really?). Yeah, I'm not losing sleep over his death, but I think it speaks volumes to the rest of the world that we are a people of law how act and abide by it (even if it does have flaws). I think it only tarnishes our moral high ground to not give them a trial. Even more so with Al-Awlaki because he's an American citizen.

In either case, Bin Laden, Al-Awlaki, or anyone else affiliated with Al-Qaeda/terrorism, I'm not going to complain if/when die. I just think it would be the moral thing to do to give them a trial.

Also, post 150!  :D

You know something? I am. I recognize my country has flaws. I am perfectly willing to accept that other nations are better than mine in a variety of ways. I'm pissed at corruption, gays being denied rights, economic woes. I see every scar, wrinkle and pock on the face of America.

I love it anyway.

You want to mock me for it, go ahead, but I am a patriot regardless of its imperfections.

I will thanks.

I don't hate America at all, I just hate how much the corrupt asshats in charge have screwed it up.

I do hate America. But don't take it personally, I hate all states.

But illegal under federal law still. Which means even in Cali, where medical marijuana is legal, the feds can still raid a place that dispenses it. (I was going to say "raid the joint" but, well, you know...)

I'm familiar with Cox & Forkum. They're in favor of same-sex marriage, support the separation of church and state, and they're pro-choice. From what I understand they don't do political cartoons anymore though.

In all seriousness, I am befuddled at the fears I was hearing from people for awhile.

"You want some bureaucrat deciding your coverage?" Same as the accountant that does now. At least I vote for the bureaucrat's boss.

"Just wait for the hour long waiting lines!" I already take a number and expect an hour wait. Where do you go?

"Now you'll have to wait forever to get a procedure done!" Just last week I saw a report on an insurance company essentially killing someone through this method.

I'm not saying government-run care would be better... I just don't see how it could be worse!

I love this arguement, given the fact that they ignore for the most part that the most serious issues are dealt with right away,if you have to can't have it done in the country, you can have in done in another country, and your country will cover the charges and there are private practices and such in a lot of the countries that have universal healthcare and you can always go to one of them and pay out of pocket.

I can understand why people get angry when drug addicts use welfare money to purchase narcotics, but I can think of about a zillion problems that would arise if the state began cutting off benefits based on failed drug tests, especially if they're testing for soft drugs like marijuana in addition to the harder stuff.

I don't think that employers require drug testing for applications. I know mine required it as a condition of accepting the job offer, but that was after I'd turned in my application and gone to two interviews. And, unlike welfare drug testing, they paid for it. Completely. They might have required reimbursement if I failed it, but  I don't think so.

It's just another excuse to slam the poor, that's all it is. But these are the same people who think that those on welfare stay on it for decades, despite that the Welfare Reform law of 1996 is still on the books, which turned Welfare into a more or less a jobs program.

Are you sure this cartoon isn't secretly pro-obama (kind of like a poe) to the extent of the huge amount of hyperbole in referring to higher taxes as the same as being sacrificed in a volcano? And the blatantly racist depiction of Obama

There are several versions about using holy symbols against vampires in fiction.

In some cases it only works if the vampire was/is a follower of that religion but I prefer the version where the wielder of the symbol is the one whos' faith matters.
I think there is a book where a soviet commissar realises that his cross won't work because he is an atheist so he drives away the vampire using a communist symbol. (Either some book or some commissarial symbol, I forget which.) Oh and some rich yuppie banishes vampires by using his wallet since money is the thing that he has devoted his life to.

Post by: Osama bin Bambi on February 21, 2012, 04:05:00 am
I'd think that an atheist vampire would be immune to holy water, crucifixes, and the like. Vampire hunters, regardless of religion, probably carry around crucifixes by default because it's the most likely to be the religion a vampire followed in life. That, and you can stab them with it.

(click to show/hide)

On-topic...

That little comic thing is just what the fuck.  So, bad things happen to bad people because Jesus is proxy-spanking them?

(Time for holy run on sentence batman)
So a middle-aged construction worker who (using a hybrid Christian values and REAL values here) prays to God five times daily,
isn't an abusive husband,
raised his kids well (without abuse),
is faithful to his wife,
doesn't swear,
reads his Bible,
attends church every week,
tithes regularly,
works at a charity,
introduced three of his friends to his church,
ends up getting his legs smashed when the crane's cable spontaneously breaks while transporting an i-Beam,
has to pay for the hospital bill out of pocket because his insurance company refuses to cover it,
gets fired "laid off" from his job,
can't get another job because he's too old "Too close to retirement age", and
nearly dies from a heart attack due to stress from all of the above
is somehow a bad person who God is proxy-spanking for whatever reason?

Or, if it only applies to kids, how about...
A kid who loves to go to Church,
who gets good grades,
helps his fellow students with schoolwork without cheating,
does his chores around the house without asking for money for it,
spends his allowance wisely,
eats his vegetables,
does fundraisers to help raise money for the poor and hungry,
prays to God every night before going to bed,
ends up developing leukemia,
undergoes painful radiation and chemotherapy,
ends up living a half-existence for months and months due to the process killing some of his brain cells,
can't keep up with schoolwork anymore due to not having the brain capacity, and
ends up not being able to graduate from high school because he just can't think
...is somehow being proxy-spanked by Jesus for something?

FUCK THAT SHIT.

We've been over this. In some episode of Atop the 4th wall we find out that batman believes that his parents died because he listened to rock music.

Seriously, he listened to rock (well one song that happened to be on the radio), his dad got angry and forbid him from doing it again and later that night his parents were shot.

Just saw this one story arc where Umbert is running for fetus president against "Joyce". Umbert is pro-life and Joyce is pro-choice. After many bad puns, it is strongly implied Joyce gets aborted.

Oh. It's filled with grammar issues too. How interesting.

A handful of Muslim extremists attacked a U.S. building, therefore it's justified to torture every Muslim who walks through an airport? Fuck you.

There was a book written by a guy in the CIA, IIRC. I can't find it right now. But in it, he explains that torture really doesn't give any useful information because 1) innocent people will be made to "confess" to almost anything, and 2) the real terrorists are trained to give false information anyway. His group did actual interrogations. They would find out which specific person could give them the information they wanted, they'd collect information on them, and when the time came they'd take them to another location to interview them. But in these interviews, the first question they asked was, "How are your kids?" or "We have your wife on the phone, would you like to speak to her?" They actually got more information from tidbits of personal conversation than they did from torturing the shit out of them.

He also says that torture set back the U.S. finding Osama bin Laden by several years, and that it should not have taken as long as it did.

Try getting a skinhead to actually admit he's racist first. Or doesn't like Jewish people. Or black people. I've run into a few people who insist it's just a fashion genre.
I've only read the thread up to this post but I want to say that having a shaved head doesn't mean your racist. I know of people who are going bald pretty young and would rather just shave it all off than have patches of hair. Other people might do it because the don't want to bother with hair. Also in this economy think of the money you would save on shampoo(jk on that one).

Although I think identification as a skinhead is more than simply a shaved head. I would have thought shaved head Doc Martens and bomber jackets.

Personally I have a shaved head (balding) but am quite obviously not a skinhead. Crewcuts (shaved heads) became pretty fashionable in the 90s but its still different from being a skinhead.

I wasn't aware bomber jackets(I kinda want one now that I think about it) or Doc Martens(I wear combat boots most of the time) made you a racist either. That just sounds more like a punk rocker than than anything. Unless someone has a shirt that says "white power" or such I wouldn't call someone racist by what they wear or how they look. Also I should note that while I'm probably one of the most open minded, accepting people out there, I kind of like fashions that some would call Nazi-esque(It might have something to do with the Nazis hiring a professional fashion designer) . I once saw authentic Nazi jack-boots on for sale online real cheap(like $5.00 a pair), I would have bought a couple pairs but my size wasn't available. Don't judge a book by it's cover, or a person by their clothes. As I said, skinheads and punk rockers look alot alike.

I doesn't help peoples opinion of me that my favorite band is Rammstein. As I said in another thread I hate the dozen or so videos on youtube that use Rammstein's song "Amerika" to a montage of pictures showing Obama with Hitler mustaches, devil horns, or both. I've had to reiterate that I'm in no way a Nazi several times to people that I've had to threaten a couple people that if they make a comment about me and Nazi's I punch them in the face, and I damn well mean it.

Wow, blast from the past a la mode.

Except I never mentioned just a shaved head (besides y'know 'skinhead'). Skinheads have a more specific way of finding them out than just a shaved head.

While there may be some skinheads that stay with the original definition more often than not you've run into a racist.

If you run into a guy wearing combat trousers (most often camouflage), along with a white tank top (sometimes it is black or olive green) or a regular white, black, olive green t-shirt, and suspenders then a cabbie hat, finished off with black combat boots then you have run into the racist version of a skinhead. They also may or may not have a flight jacket on (don't want their arms getting cold or to hide their racist/white power tats).

This is, of course, from general experience as well as what I've seen on the various neo-nazi/skinhead sites that I have the displeasure of running into thanks to looking at the mainpage.

I never thought I'd have to explain this two months later.

You're also assuming I'm judging right off the bat from what I see someone wearing. No. It has to do with a lot of factors that I wish not to explain right now.

I'm just now getting around to reading this thread. Thanks for the clarification. Just so you know, if I had was more in shape I would probably wear a lot of that, minus the hat(different hat maybe) and tats. Good to know your don't judge people right away. I won't assume someone if anything unless I hear them make a comment to that effect. If someone makes a racist comment then I will be one of the first to call them on it.

I agree. It's such a cute, funny, well-executed comic despite having a ridiculous message. I feel the same about those BRAIN-DEAD "Umbert The Unborn" ones. I LOATHE the abortion message but it's drawn in such an amusing, cute, clever way that it takes the edge off the inflammatory message.

Now, while I think society has gone pharmaceutical-crazy & that we've been going overboard with the medicating, I'm NOT gonna throw the baby out with the bathwater! Meds have an important place & a person with a serious, life-threatening medical condition is not going to be helped by a simple supplement.

I'm pretty sure there's no place where it's legal to kill a late-term or partial birth infant, either.  There are situations where they cannot SAVE the infant in order to save the mother's life, in which case the infant would have most likely died anyways.  Of course, these folks are aghast that one would consider a grown woman's life more valuable than a newborn baby's.

Once the baby is born, and I was a doctor I'd personally value them both equally and would do my best to make sure both survive.  If one is lost past then and the other lives, whichever it is; I don't think there could be a 'right' choice of who to try to save.  Just whomever you can.  It's a Kobiyashi Maru situation.  No right answer.  Yes, I let my geek flag fly just then.

Her life is more valuable than the baby because she has actually lived, has friends and family, possible a job or hobby, and is a contributor to society. It may sound harsh but that's life. But I do think you should save both.

Not to mention that, from a less humanistic approach and a more mechanical approach, a living woman capable of bearing more children (unless said children would threaten her life) is more beneficial to the survival of the species than a single child whose life caused the death of their mother and then has to wait 15 years to reach  sexual maturity.

It's funny because essentially the right-wing's "Blargh, women are only for babies, and the baby's life is more important than the mother's!" attitude is actually causing LESS births.

...Of course, I support birth control and pro-choice stuff entirely.  And do not desire the slightest bit to make a woman into a baby mill.  That's just horrible.

Not to mention that our species is quite capable of breeding itself out of survival rather than keeping survival.

Yeah, but then that gives overpopulation, which is bad. We should focus on sustainability instead of doing with the rabbits and insects do.

So, basically this is saying that only women benefit from tax-supported contraceptives as a form of preventative medicine... who exactly are these women having sex with if not men!?

Or is it simply that women should happily live in a paradoxical world where if they don't have sex they get raped, and if they do have sex they get pregnant, but they're still expected to be available to men, because men having sex is normal and necessary?

It's important to keep in mind that the religious right wing of the Republican is based on a religion where the idealized woman is the one who gets pregnant without having sex.

Use of birth control, including emergency contraceptives = Responsible family planning.
Self-esteem = Choosing to engage in or refrain from sex based on your personal beliefs and what you want in life, rather than what other people tell you.
Reputation = Only important if it's based upon traits that actually matter. Whether or not a woman enjoys sex shouldn't factor in to the amount of respect people show her.

And it's interesting how we don't see all that many cartoons talking about men taking responsibility when it comes to sex.

"Death Camp Orgy Girls on Acid" sounds like a great band name, and "Bloodbath of the Nursery School Rapist" sounds like a great movie. "Revenge of the Flamethrowing Vagina" should be its sequel.

"Revenge of the Atomic Flamethrowing Vagina" sounds fucking awesome.

I would not use the word 'fucking' while talking about a vagina which functions as a flamethrower.
Well maybe except for: "I am not fucking a flametrowing vagina!"

It's a trick question. The real "guy" is right behind you. Right now.

That being said, I hate Ron Paul and how his robots have crafted a cult of personality around this clown. He is not a libertarian, he's just fucking nuts. (And yes, there is a difference, believe it or not.)

I mean, it's not optimal. But it's at least moving in the right direction- non intervention, withdrawal, rollback, decolonisation.

Ron Paul would basically destroy all federal protections of civil liberties and focus on "states rights"  - a.k.a. "mob rule." He insists that all his positions are Constitutional, but then he not only supported the Defense of Marriage Act, but also introduced a bill that, if passed, would have made it illegal for the Supreme Court to hear cases pertaining to DoMA's legality. Gee, why would he ever need the second law if he's sooooo constitutional? ::)

He just doesn't care about the topic. He's a complete pothead so all he wants is for weed to be legalized.

He thinks there's a massive conspiracy in the media and "the establishment" going on against Ron Paul. Only an idiot like my father could honestly believe, at the same time
1) Ron Paul is the only person with any chances of becoming President
2) The eeeeeevil media is downplaying Ron Paul's importance so people won't vote for him

I love the idea of “Oh, we can free ourselves from these annoying checks and balances just by passing a law that says our other laws are immune from them.” I don’t think that is gonna fly.

To be fair, yeah Obama has created some jobs, but the economy is still in the toilet and unemployment is still high, so there are people losing as many jobs as there are jobs being made. But that's because Republicans would rather spend time going after women's vaginas than do something more productive like helping the economy get back on track, and help in creating jobs.

Every culture has experienced flooding. When an ancient culture's country or area expreriences a flood, they assume that the whole world floods, because the land they know of, is practically the world to them. There is no evidence outside of these myths that the entire world has flooded at one time.

Well, aside from the fact that you have provided exactly zero pieces of evidence disproving Evolution yet have claimed that it makes no sense:

How can all of these 'global' flood stories be about the same flood? Aside from the fact that they are radically different, if Noah's flood is true then only 8 people survived. Where did all these other flood stories come from if the main characters all died during Noah's flood?

Either Noah's flood was local and not a miracle, or all the other flood stories are talking about different local floods.

How is decent birth control coverage supposed to be a turnoff to a modern woman? Most use birth control in some form, so they can worry about other things like providing for their families and careers/jobs.

Ehhhh, one of the legit criticisms that can be made of Obama is that he's taking just as much if not more advantage of Bush's expansion of presidential powers and denial of due process as Bush did. Handy infographic from the ACLU available here (http://www.aclulibertywatch.org/ALWCandidateReportCard.pdf). Mind you, it is fairly hypocritical to bitch about Obama doing it but not Bush (especially if you argue Bush was different), its still a valid criticism and a definite failing he's had on constitutional issues.

That's my main problem, they turn a blind eye at what the Republicans are doing and have done the same in the past, though the guy has entitled the piece "One Nation Under Socialism" so I'm assuming guy is an idiot that thinks that Obama is a socialist, when in reality he's center-right.

City maintenance, public services, utilities, farm subsidies, etc aside;

Paying in taxes to provide basic needs for the lower class is probably a LOT cheaper than forcing businesses to pay their employees a fair wage. ;p  Big business NEEDS a large, undereducated, baby-making minimum-wage workforce to continue to churn out money.

How I Get My Paycheck:

1. Long ago, the world was born, be it a big bang, a god fucking a cow, whatever.
2. Eventually, humanity appeared.
3. Humanity began forming groups, or, societies.
4. Humanity began trading between these groups, often by walking long distances.
5. Someone came up with the wheel, to make the treks more bearable, and eventually they made carts to be pulled by animals.
6. Time passes, and despite constant attempts to destroy itself, humanity starts exploring the entire world, via boats and other means.
7. Eventually, the North American continent stabilizes itself as the "United States," and some territories some other places own. Citizens of the US don't care who owns what, as long as they can eventually take the land that they want.
8. Monetary systems are put into place, and the first types of "money" are put into the public sphere. No one alive today printed the first dollar.
9. Humanity invents the car, all while the state of "Wisconsin" is founded by Wisconsin Union 1848.
10. The beginning of a public education system is established.
11. The store known as Target is founded.
12. Somewhere in the middle of all of this, certain genetic triggers have been passed from generation to generation, resulting in the birth of my parents, and eventually, me.
13. I am allowed to attend public schools throughout my life, allowing me to earn enough of an education to graduate from a public university.
14. With my advanced degree, I eventually land a variety of jobs, but the only place I can safely earn full time pay is at a store known as Target.

15. A set amount of pay is agreed upon, in exchange for my services in handling work in the stock room.
16. Someone, somewhere builds the items that stock the Target shelves.
17. A truck driver drives the items to a distribution center, and then another driver from there to our store.
18. A team of workers puts said items on the shelves in the store.
19. A customer takes their money, and purchases one of our items, requiring another worker who is STILL not me to check them out.
20. After two weeks of more customers doing this, and me satisfactorily documenting our back-stock, I am given a pay check from Target.

In the grand scheme of things, the bolded section is all I have to do with the money I am given every two weeks. Meanwhile, the fact history passed the way it did, and the pure chance I was born, and the fact society feeds itself, is the main reason I have money. My hard work is only one part of a grander scheme. But I guess I'm just a liberal pansy who should be instead yelling "It's my money and I need it now!"

GOD! FUCKING! DAMN! It's no wonder so few people submit stuff to the main page anymore, they can't stand to look at this stuff long enough! Reading the thread out of curiosity is fucking painful, though one at least acknowledges the holocaust took place (but Hitler didn't do it, of course). The most I'll give them is that there are indeed asshole's who are Jewish and managed to intertwine the two traits, as a few main page posts show. Are some people that use the Holocaust as an excuse to do whatever they want? Yes there are, but they are by no means the majority. There certainly isn't any "conspiracy".

Oh, Palin's been called just about every bad name you can call a woman at some point or another. Never by anyone as prominent or influential as Rush Limbaugh though.

Incidentally, do social conservatives seriously have no concept of how birth control works? I mean seriously, the first time I was ever educated about the pill was when I saw a girl taking hers on the bus in my sophomore year of high school. I asked her politely about it and her explanation included the phrase "have to take it every day, around the same time". Heck, there are even commercials for competing forms of Birth Control that mention it!

The cartoon is on the verge of a salient point - Trayvon was a teenage boy, meaning he more than likely has at least some negative points. Where the cartoon goes wrong, of course, is that it shouldn't matter if Trayvon Martin was a sinless, perfect specimen of humanity or a jerk who got straight D's and acted up in class - all that should matter is what he was doing when he got shot.

Plus, cases of parents being arrested for taking pics of their kids in the bath really aren't as common as the media would have you believe. Almost every parent has at least one picture of their child(ren) bathing -- many of whom are now posting those images on sites like Facebook -- and very few have been arrested or hassled over it. Hell, my baby album has tons of images of me in all my naked glory, including a couple where my crotch is at least partially visible.

Side note: It would be whack if someone came along and charged me with possession of child porn over my own baby pictures.

Thing is, almost anything can be viewed as pornographic if you look at it the right (or wrong) way. It's also very difficult to legally define what is and isn't pornography. I mean, there's the whole "intent to elicit arousal" line, but like you said, it's quite hard to prove someone's intentions when we get into that weird, grey area between pornography and non-erotic nude photography.

To be honest, I can understand why some people might worry about the wrong kinds of people getting a hold of those pictures and trading/selling them for the purpose of arousal, thus violating the child's right to privacy, but in those cases, it's the sick fucks who steal and misuse the photos who should be prosecuted, not the parents who innocently took a picture of their baby's first bath.

The thing is you can be arrested for your baby pictures and charged with several felonies. It would be treated the same as a 16 year old sending naked pictures of themselves to their boy/girlfriend. It's bullshit, but that is how the law can be interpreted.

How can you be arrested for your own baby pictures though? At least with sexting, the kid's taking pictures of herself. Parents are the ones who take baby pictures. They shouldn't get in trouble for that, of course, but if anyone's going to be prosecuted, it should be the person who took the picture. But parents shouldn't be prosecuted for their kids pictures in the first place, unless the intent is obviously nefarious.

Well, some of it has to do with the question of "Is this an established character from a show"? Bart Simpson screwing some girl isn't easy to call anything besides child porn, but outside of that it would depend on the creator of the character, I imagine.

I've accidentally come across that kind of cartoon porn on Google Images. Not exactly pleased about that, being that I don't particularly want to see it, and it's very illegal (meaning that there's tons of legal precedent supporting the law) to download cartoon depictions of child porn where I live. Not that I'd expect the police to come kicking down my door over a couple of images cached during an image search gone horribly wrong, but it does act as a minor paranoia worm when it happens.

As for my baby pictures, I'm not terribly concerned about being charged for having them. Sure, it's possible that some raving lunatic will look through my photo albums and flip shit over the bathtub images, but it's not very likely for a whole host of reasons.

I once saw a cartoon with Bart getting a blow job from Maggie, with Marge freaking out off to the side. I remember the dialogue, and my own reaction:

Marge: BART?!
Bart: Don't worry, Mom. Maggie lost her pacifier. (grin)

They count Libya as a war even though it was planned out far better than Afghanistan or Iraq, had international support, and cost no American lives all at a fraction of the cost of the first two.

Well, I'm sure that doesn't help, but Americans tend to be very short sighted and look for a singular cause (the President) to their problems. Its these expectations that result in the office of the Presidency being given so much power (the most important according to Richard Neustadt being the power to persuade and be a middle-man between various agencies, governments, and organizations) and Reagan's famous slogan "are things better now than four years ago." This short sightedness in blaming the President is widespread and even members of this fairly intelligent board (I will only speak in particular for myself) fall into this trap.

I kind of wonder what would happen if, like the legislative and judicial branches, the executive branch was actually headed by a group rather than a single individual. I’m sure people would find some way to fall into the trap like usual. It is, after all, a result of human nature that we do so to begin with. But one would think that falling in would be more difficult in such a situation. Might force a few people to actually… *gasp!*… think!
Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons
Post by: QueenofHearts on March 31, 2012, 08:54:28 am
I've thought that too, and I think the answer would be it depends on how the executive branch would be elected (with one representative per district or a group of people nationally elected). If the people would be elected nationally, it would probably be like it is now (where if things are better they get re-elected) whereas if it were local representation it would be much like Congress. Despite Congress polling  at something like 9% popularity, Congressmen and women laugh because those polls don't matter. Which matters, is how popular congresspeople are within their districts. My professor on Congressional and Presidential rhetoric said it best "Congress is nothing but a bunch of Washington-insiders and criminals. They should all be arrested! Except for my congressman, he's one of the good ones." This is the reason why despite such low popularity, incumbency is so high. So, if the executives were locally elected, I see it being much like this. I may be wrong (of course) but this is my take on it.

EDIT: And that's another thing that is unique to the President in America, they are the only person elected nationally, by every state. This could also play into the expectations of the presidency where people expect the President to make things good in general (economy, gas prices, unemployment), whereas representatives just have to "bring home the bacon" which is considerably easier a task.

It does, in a certain context, because it makes him look like a stupid teenager who cares about looking tough. A clean cut straight-A student comes off a whole lot differently (in public perception, however unfair this is) than a teenager who's trying to be "gangsta". Mind you, the person who found it never considered there was more than Trayvon Martin in the country, so it's of a totally different person, but the intent was there.

The Shane that is typing this right now was pretty gangstah himself back in middle school cause it was the in-thing. Eminem was big during that time, so...

If I gave the impression I agree with what they're doing, I apologize. That's simply the tactic they're using. Make Trayvon look like a future scary black man, play upon racist tendencies (both subconscious and otherwise), try to create the image that he's more The Wire than The Cosby Show, etc. Even if the picture was of the correct Trayvon Martin, it would still be nothing more than using some of American culture's lingering racism in order to create a smokescreen that obscures the relevant facts of the case.

While I get your point, isn't this the kind of mindset that makes it harder for male victims of domestic violence to be taken seriously? Completely different context, of course, but focusing on physical size as the measure of a threat when it isn't exactly that simple.

As a native Detroiter, it is nowhere near that simple (otherwise the suburbs would have fallen at the same time, rather than expanding). Racism and short sighted policy caused a lot of the problems that economic woes befalling the auto industry exacerbated.

No as you said completely different context. Besides which size is a good indicator of threat but not of abuse. Just because someone is stronger doesn't mean they can stop their spouse abusing them. Its also got to do with what you're prepared to do. In this case given Zimmerman was prepared to shoot the kid and chased after him I think he probably wouldn't have had a problem punching him. 

Treyvonn was not, Mike "I'll fuck you till you love me, faggot" Tyson. He was a skinny little teenager who was substantially physically smaller than zimmerman.

I can only imagine how well that would go.

Immediately upon hearing the first shot several vigilantes pull their guns and go after the perpetrators. Nobody knows who the shooters are or where they are, so the vigilantes mistakenly attack each other. The situation turns into a shoot out between several people, innocents are caught in the cross-fire. The police enter and neutralise everybody with a gun. The end.

I don't get it. If unarmed schools are such prime targets for gun violence and 'only outlaws have guns' , then why have there been roughly the same amount of school shootings in Europe over the last 100 years as in an average American decade?
Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons
Post by: RavynousHunter on April 04, 2012, 04:32:26 pm
Because controlling the influx of weapons, legal and illegal, in European countries is much easier than it is in the US.  The smaller a country is, the easier it is to control the flow of firearms; you have less area to patrol, your borders are smaller, and there's a greater overall level of population density

 Logistically speaking, controlling guns in the US like they do in Britain would require ludicrous amounts of manpower and massive government expenditure, its practically impossible.  We have a massive amount of land, plenty of backwood, out-of-the-way places where gun runners can hide themselves and their caches of illicit weaponry, and our borders cover thousands of miles, at the very least.  There are numerous points of entry, and lots of places to hide, so trying to prevent anyone from getting guns in the US is simply impractical.

So, instead of trying to do something that'd likely mean massive tax hikes (which would piss people off REALLY bad) to cover a very impractical set of laws, they, instead institute a policy of background checks and waiting periods.  Does that eliminate gun violence?  No.  Does it mean criminals won't get guns?  No.  Criminals don't obey the laws for rape, murder, and theft...why would they obey gun control laws?  PROTIP: They don't.  They never do.  Anyone who wants a gun can get one...so, the question is, do we spend massive amounts of time and money in a futile attempt at an impractical measure to control illegal arms, or do we institute policies that help weed out dangerous people from legally purchasing arms, while allowing decent citizens to procure them for sport or self defense?

Take a look at the war on drugs.  Its almost the exact same thing: they're trying, desperately, to control the flow of drugs into the country, spending massive amounts of time, money, and effort in an attempt to weed out any and all illicit medicine.  Are they succeeding?  ...So very little, its practically unnoticeable.  Instead, we have a significant portion of our prisons dedicated to non-violent criminals, we make criminals out of otherwise decent people, and we force the money that goes into purchasing these things, which is almost laughably easy if you ask the right people, into the hands of much more dangerous criminals and drug cartels.  Its a logistical nightmare, but the government continues spending millions of dollars in this futile endeavor because of the pressure put on by holier-than-thou assholes.

We've already got one pointless "war."  I doubt we could afford another, even if such a stringent crackdown wouldn't end up a legal nightmare.

I have no problem with guns being allowed in schools, and such, it's just that if such an incident occurs there is sure to be a lot of chaos, and it's most likely that shooter isn't going to be shot back at.

The comic has a point, IMO. The shootings would not have gone on as long, and more deaths could have been prevented, if an adult certified with the use of a firearm saw the shooter and fired to defend other people. The fact is that a lot of these school shootings happen in gun-free zones, so clearly simply putting a smiley sign up doesn't do shit to stop a psychopath who wants to murder their classmates. I'm not talking about letting any brat who finds a pistol in the backseat of his parent's car bring it to school, but if a teacher or other adult faculty member is certified and trained in the use of a firearm, there's no reason why he or she shouldn't be allowed to use it to protect other students in the event of a hostile intruder.

I think the challenge with that strategy then is how to secure the gun from students while allowing the certified teacher easy access in case of emergency. And I think if the teacher carried the gun on his or her person, would-be shooters would then know who is certified and who isn’t, and preemptively target the certified teachers first.

As far as I can tell, the school shootings that occur here in Canada -- which are, for the record, much rarer than they are in the US, even if one accounts for population differences -- aren't any bloodier than the ones down south despite our much stricter gun control, which suggests to me that teachers and other faculty not having guns really isn't the problem here.

Plus, the risks of having armed weapons around kids far, FAR outweigh the potential benefits of having a firearm during a school shooting, being that these kinds of tragic events are not anywhere near as common as people seem to think. The chance of an accident occurring (kid gets a hold of gun and accidentally harms him/herself, teacher does something idiotic despite being licensed and trained in using firearms, etc.) is a hell of a lot higher than some nut turning up and opening fire.

That's what I meant to say, that I have no problem with an adult who has training and all that jazz with a firearm, being allowed to carry a firearm in the place, where ever it might be, I just think a situation may be that there in so much chaos, that they may panic, be overwhelmed to the point and not know what to do, or they would have to wait until the right moment, if that ever comes to them.

They could always keep the gun on themselves, but are dumb as a box of rocks if they don't have the safety on.

I don't think teachers should be forced to carry guns. Only teachers who want to carry guns, are qualified to do so, and pass safety tests should be able to bring guns to school. Obviously that involves keeping the gun in a secure location where students cannot reach it.

My problem with the gun argument in general is that it's a red herring. The problem isn't necessarily the lack of gun or the over abundance of guns (though they may contribute to the problems.) The problem is deeper and more rooted society and how people are treated (affecting how they react).

Dad has often told me that even if he were to have a gun on his person while teaching, that doesn't guarantee that there'd be less of a bloodbath. Based on a variety of factors.

After all, in a few of the shootings in the past couple of decades the teachers have either been shot first or shot early, thus preventing them from reacting to anything even if they had a gun themselves.

Also, the Arizona shooting (Giffords) was stopped not by another gun, but 1) a man with a folding chair and 2) a retired Colonel who just tackled him. So, further argument that another gun owned by a trained and licensed teacher would not put a stop to more killings.

"I have seen no evidence to support this conclusion" does not mean "I have to literally see something to believe in it". We can measure the non-visible portions of the spectrum and see its influence on the world around us, which is more than I can say for god.

Yeah, it's called history for a reason, and political parties change over time. Shit, even the GOP of the 1950s & 1960s were sane compared to the GOP of today (you know, like how Eisenhower looks like what today's GOP would call a "socialist", even Barry Goldwater of all people, looks somewhat sane compared to today's GOP, and he was more or less a 1960s version of a teabagger).

And about 90 years after Republicans were electing the first black congresspeople, a Democrat senator introduced the Civil Rights Act and a Democrat president signed it. You can't discount the historical achievements of the Republican party, nor can you ignore the historical failings of the Democrats (and vice versa). However, the modern party taking credit for them is kind of like a person taking credit for the actions of an ancestor.

Feels the need to refute.

California failed because of lax business regulation, dangerously low taxes, too little government infrastructure spending and a corrupt financial, housing and tech sector. Not because of the opposite.

Japan was ruined by conservatives failing to respond to their economic crisis for fifteen years, not their trains.

Greece was ruined by an obsession with short-term debts over long-term economic growth, the German beggar-thy-neighbour policy backed by an incompetent German ECB and an inappropriate monetary union. Leading to a failure to use monetary or fiscal policy.

The Soviet Union had a government that acted in demonstrably different ways than the US government under Obama. Sure, that was inefficient, which is why nobody does that any more. But free-market fundamentalism is actually more inefficient, as shown by the Russian Federation.

Again, Spain was ruined by the ECB, monetary union, short-term debt obsession, ect. Not solar panels (which are made in Germany).

England was ruined by the austerity program of their conservative government, austerity pursued despite a lack of need and in the face of massive costs- a policy that, to the extent that it was avoided in the US, was dodged over the violent objections of the Republican party. Britain's efficient health insurance program did not force international conservatism to institute wasteful, hugely costly austerity.

...Japan and the United States require vastly different infrastructure. Like, we require a lot of it to move shit around. I don't exactly what that cartoon is (probably erroneously) referring to, but I imagine that if the U.S. had something like the Japanese "bullet trains", they'd be profitable. For instance, if there was top of the line high speed rail linking Detroit and Chicago, you go could from the Motor City to the Windy City in just about the amount of time it takes to drive from Detroit to the state capitol. There has to be a market for that, assuming it's even moderately affordable.

Indeed. The whole thing is apples and oranges. Even if the items called out in that cartoon are what damaged those economies, that doesn’t mean those items were inherently bad. It steams me to no end that so many good political and economic ideas out there are declared poison just because the very first try failed. It’s not always the idea. More often than not, it is the implementation.

Britain's efficient health insurance program did not force international conservatism to institute wasteful, hugely costly austerity.

One of the ironies of the cartoon is that the UK government recently passed what is most likely the most reviled bill in years on the NHS. Public support was around 18% (http://conservativehome.blogs.com/thetorydiary/2012/02/cameron-vows-to-press-on-with-nhs-bill-although-only-18-of-public-support-it.html), rumours were floating of Cabinet ministers being secretly opposed to it, and Tim Montgomerie, one of the most influential non-Parliamentery Conservatives in the UK, suggested that the short-term political cost of dropping the bill would be much better than the long-term political cost of passing it (http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2012/feb/10/cameron-scrap-nhs-bill-lansley).

The chief complaint? Accusations of privatisation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_and_Social_Care_Act_2012#.22Any_willing_provider.22).

In fairness, that 47 billion against trillions of dollars of budget and debt. It's still short sighted, since every bit helps, but if I do my estimation correctly that would be like a regular person making $47 to pay toward a debt/budget in the five to six figure range.

Yes, it's a rage comic but it's a comic in support of a real event. "Fuck-A-Friend Zone: The 2012 movement."

What. The. Fuck.
O_o

Dude.

Wait...

Wait...

No it still looks like the comic advocates rape. Fuck you unknown troll lurking somewhere deep in the internet.

All this whining about "friendzone" is really annoying but talking about it would turn into a long rant. So here have a bad political cartoon instead:

"friendzone"


for all men pissed about being in the friendzone.
ive been seeing tons of whining all over the internet.

men get friendzoned because they're behaving like a friend, not a potential b/f. if you can't tell the difference, you might not be mature enough to handle a relationship.

i dont know, ive been single for a few years now, ive been friendzoned alot, no one to blame but myself.

The fascists had an interesting view of the economy. Everything needed to be 'harmonized' in order to avoid class war, so labour, big business and the government would get together and negotiate a deal. They called it the 'third way'*. In practice, the unions got banned or taken over by the businesses they were supposed to regulate, and the government development agencies were corrupted as well.

*Bill Clinton was a plagiarist.

ARGH. *rage mode!* Nazi Germany was not. bloody. socialist! The Nazi Party was primarily a party of the petty-bourgeois class (as opposed to the working class), and in power it was a pretty capitalist system, it didn't majorly change the economic layout. They abolished the bloody union attached to the party for one.

Free-market capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other system in the history of man. The problem with our country today is we no longer have free-market capitalism.

If you think America is not free market capitalist, you need walloping. Honestly. (Though of course what is or isn't a free market is a political definition rather than an objective one - it's more like a scale with "more free market" at one end and "less free market" at another).

While it's true that capitalism has created the wealth that makes us able to get rid of poverty, left to its own devices it doesn't exactly do this. I mean, if the government legislates that people who are unemployed should get a basic payout to prevent them from starving, that is not caused by capitalism per se (even if capitalism is a necessary condition for it) it's caused by the government offsetting the worst of the system.

I mean there wasn't any poverty in laissez-faire nineteenth century England![/sarcasm]

This.

A fully free market, as most people would use the term, won’t stay that way for very long, because there will always be someone who profits best by removing the freedom of others. In this way, a free market naturally collapses in on itself. And that is a pretty big fuckin’ flaw.

I actually know a guy who served in the army but said that his religious beliefs would not allow him to fight in a war. Because of the conscription system in Finland and the fact that civilian service (362 days.) and the unarmed service (Basically, you serve in the military but do not carry a weapon and you get assigned to a position where a firearm is not necessary. Lasts 270 days.) lasts longer than the shortest military service (Depending on the training 180-362 days.) he felt that this was the easiest way to get it over.

Besides he did say that he doubts God has anything against him shooting at cardboard targets and running in the woods.

Also according to Finnish law in case of war he can refuse to carry a weapon and he will get the same treatment as those who did unarmed service.

They're saying that Natives who protests appropriation of their culture are just "jealous". They're also denigrating their social condition (which is ironic since the ancestors of the poster makers are probably responsible for that.)

Huh. Should've called that one in February (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2012/feb/14/crony-capitalist-auto-bailout-mitt-romney).

Actually, when you look at Romney's campaign, you find:

1. you can determine Romney's policy on an issue at a given moment, or how the policy is changing, but not both at the same time.
2. the probability of Romney having a position is never quite 100%, but never 0% either.
3. when Obama adopts a certain policy position, Romney, without having to communicate or interact, will adopt the exact opposite policy position.
4. sometimes a pair of Romney policies appear, cancel each other out, and disappear again.
5. it is impossible to accurately reason whether Romney is for or against a given issue until you have observed his statements on the matter; until then, you must assume that he is both for and against the issue.

It's not communism. It's not even capitalism. It might not be something that classic political science understands.

Try even earlier than that:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3PJF0YE-x4

However, as has been said previously, the idea of "good" black folks has been around for a long time. "Credits to their race" I believe they were called. Notably, Chris Rock cut this material from his act in part because he felt it was giving racists justification for using the n-word. I agree with people like Chris Rock, Aaron McGruder, the late Dwayne McDuffie, and Bill Cosby when they say that  that the all too vocal segments of the black community holding up ignorance and criminal behavior as being "real" or "sticking it to the man" need to shut the fuck up because all they're doing is holding back the black community and American society as a whole. Appropriating racist terminology to draw the distinction is, while possibly an effective shaming tool and somewhat effective, ain't the way to draw that distinction. Especially if you're white.

Putting aside the Lando reference...  doesn't Lil Wayne make MORE money then De GRasse tyson?  So according to the Free MArket, the guy on the right is more successful.

Well, that's assuming the maker of this picture is a free market capitalist.

But how often does that assumption pan out?

Sandra Fluke. 

She had spoken out about the cost of 'contraceptives' - by which she meant pharmaceutical birth control - for college students, who pay out the same amount whether they have sex a hundred times a month or once, or use the medication to control hormonal dysfunctions and other medical problems.  And on behalf of another student who had wound up losing her ovaries (one or both, not sure) to cysts because she couldn't afford the medication to treat it, as it was considered 'birth control' and not covered by the college's health coverage.

So Rush Airbag grabbed the quote about 'contraceptives' costing up to $500 a month and twisted it into an explicit accusation that Sandra personally uses $500 worth of CONDOMS a month and wants the US taxpayers to pay her to have sex all day, making her a busy hooker.

Conservative logic: Sure, Rush Limbaugh thinks women shouldn't be allowed to get contraceptives, blames women for being 'irresponsible' when they refuse to follow the doctrine of the Catholic Church, calls them 'sluts' when they disagree with him in public, constantly criticises women he doesn't like as ugly and so on... BUT THAT'S FREEDOM!

I don't remember him ever mentioning condoms. I think he is just ignorant of how birth control works (that it's a pill you take all the time). He also completely ignored the fact that birth control pills is often used for reasons other than birth control. There are people who are abstinent and take birth control pills.

I hate those people who just think that if we "liberalise the market" it will magically solve all of our problems. The truth is the poor if they weren't able to get government aid would just end up relying on the whims of the rich through private charity, a sort of Neo Victorianism.

There is a reason that corporations are trying to reduce government spending, not increase it. Welfare is more a tool of the poor than the market, because corporations cannot absolutely dominate a government in a democracy.

Yup. The most important of these is probably the Flood, which killed, you know, everyone.

Wait... if your religion is an unchangeable state of being, then why do Christians spend so much effort trying to convert people?  And does she realize that interfaith marriages were illegal up until the last century?

*ahem*
1. Having dark skin is a phenotype that is expressed from birth and has a biological cause, so black people are indeed "born that way." While non-heterosexuality is not caused by genes, it does have a clear prenatal biological cause, so it is entirely accurate to say that queer people are also "born that way."
     a. Even among black people, some black people have darker or lighter skin than others. Skin color is controlled by multiple genes, and even after that, environmental factors can influence skin color. It is variable and it can change.
2. Homosexuality is not a "mindset" and it is not a "mood." For instance, you are still straight even when you are not thinking about sex or sexual attraction.
     a. "No one is born sexual" - Freud would disagree.
     b. Bisexuality is not the ability to choose your sexual orientation. It is a sexual orientation in and of itself in that one is attracted to both the same and the opposite sex.
     c. Sexuality in some people is fluid - I can definitely say that there are times I am more attracted to the same sex and other times when I am more attracted to the opposite sex. But I do not "choose" any of those changes, they simply happen.
3. You were born with dark skin and with a female body and a female mind. That is unchangeable. But a person is not a Christian from birth. I'm pretty sure salvation isn't hereditary in your religion. A person born to Christian parents can still be raised by a family of another faith and consider themselves to be of that faith. Heck, even in Judaism, where "Jewishness" is hereditary, a person could be born to a Jewish mother (thus qualifying them as a Jew) but raised in another faith and come to identify with that faith.
4. Whether or not homosexuality is a choice has no bearing on whether same-sex marriages should be legal or not.

Holy balls, that is the creepiest-looking fetus EVER.  If I weren't already pro-choice, that picture would make me pro-choice all by itself.  Hel, I'm surprised that picture doesn't make me want to go up to pregnant women yelling, "KILL IT!  KILL IT NOW BEFORE IT DEVOURS YOUR SOUL!!"

Also, nail files!  In the uterus!  Now I'm picturing a botched abortion with a nail file, and the fetus using it because it's just THAT badass.  And evil.

If anyone says that to my face, they'll be getting a fucking earful from me.

I was devout.  I believed it with all of my heart.  Everything I did was for God, not for any reward, but because it was the Right Thing (tm) to do.  What killed my faith was the constant backstabbing from the Christian leaders.  The people who were supposed to be guiding me to the right path.  My emotions were being sucked out of me like soda through a straw.  And I turned to God for solace... and he wasn't there.  He was never there.  I prayed to him every night.  I pondered "His Wisdom" and meditated on it.  And he was never there.  The only one ever there for me was myself and my family and what few friends I had.

And for a couple of years after that, I continued to believe anyways until I just couldn't anymore.

We searched for churches that had the "right doctrine", and still only darkness came... and we left good churches because of doctrine issues.

...Sorry, apparently that was a trigger for me.  Thanks for letting me get that out.

Ouch, sorry if I pressed the wrong button  :(

I was just going for some overly pious spiel a fundy would give you. I didn't mean to offend  :'(

Though I went through a similar phase. I was really into Christianity and it wasn't until I was 14 that I began to question it. To start off, a friend of mine died of cancer despite the fact I prayed multiple times a day to save her, God didn't listen. Second, my church at the time decided to go on a bender against gays that made me realize that who I was couldn't be reconciled with mainstream Christianity (as gay marriage at the time was a wedge issue that propelled Bush to a second term and VA churches were trying to pressure the General assembly for a constitutional ban which they got less than two years later). So I began a cutting phase which lasted about a year until I began drinking and drug abuse; which was a really self-destructive phase that didn't end until I began transitioning last year.

So, even though if someone said something like that to me I wouldn't be too offended, I can understand how that could be a horrible thing to say :(

Well then you've not heard many proper definitions. From Miriam-Webster (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sodomy):
Quote
Definition of SODOMY
: anal or oral copulation with a member of the same or opposite sex; also : copulation with an animal

And from Wikipedia  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodomy)(emphasis mine):
Quote
Sodomy (/ˈsɒdəmi/) refers to anal sex or other non-penile/vaginal copulation-like acts, especially between male persons or between a person and an animal.[

And U.S. Legal dot com (http://definitions.uslegal.com/s/sodomy/):
Quote
Sodomy laws generally criminalize oral or anal sex, between consenting adults even in the privacy of their homes

1. I'm like 99% sure that Planned Parenthood provides mammograms. In fact, I think they do more mammograms than abortions.

2. Birth control pills cause cancer? Citation fucking needed.

As for the whole "abortion causes breast cancer" thing - as typical of pro-lifers, they're not telling the complete truth. There are studies suggesting that having a child before a certain age (I think it's like mid-30s or something) can reduce your risk of breast cancer in the future. However, having an abortion simply terminates the pregnancy. It does not increase your risk of breast cancer, it just cancels any potential benefit that carrying the fetus to term would have brought - that is, it leaves you at the same risk you had before. In other words, abortions do jack shit to one's chances of getting breast cancer.

Because fluorescent lightbulbs actually flicker on and off super fast, they will give everyone epilepsy, and Big Pharma will make money by selling epilepsy medication to those people.

MY COMMENTS ON THIS STUPID TOON:
* "A man & a woman's body..." not "A man & a woman...." as if she weren't a human, just a body to hump.
* So does having sex make you married? By that definition, the above-mentioned adultery would be bigamy/polygamy. If sex is basically an impromptu wedding....WOW LOVERS CAN SAVE MONEY!!!
* Why can't you be loyal to the person you're eating/analing? Heteros & married couples do that all the time!
* In trying to answer the normal sane argument concerning infertile/elderly couples, their argument & one big meaningless fail that convinces nobody with a working brain.

*ahem* My extensive research and experience with conspiracy theories will allow me to decipher this for you.

Bill Gates was the founder of the computer company Microsoft, so he is represented by a robot. More specifically, a Terminator robot, which is an assassin. This is meant to draw a connection between Bill Gates and a cold-blooded, murderous nature.

In one hand, Gates is carrying a massive gun that is fashioned to look like a vaccine. This is an obvious reference to anti-vaxxer conspiracy theories. A part of Gates' philanthropic efforts involve sending vaccines to third-world countries. Considering that the comic claims Gates is a proponent of reducing the world population, and that anti-vaxxers consider vaccines to cause a host of symptoms from autism to sterility, the implication is that Bill Gates' foundation is sending vaccines to third-world countries in order to make them infertile and reduce the world population, all according to the Big Pharma eugenicist agenda (as shown by the big "MERCK" letters on the syringe).

The device in his other hand is probably some sort of scanner or taser. It could be a reference to the pat-downs and X-ray screens at TSA checkpoints, which have been accused of being a government conspiracy to humiliate citizens and give them cancer and sterilize them at the same time. Also note that the device is situated directly on the helpless man's testicular area, which also shows that whatever it is it is being used to sterilize him with its "radiation" or "electromagnetic fields."

I take Prozac & it's helped me & they're just regular capsules, rather than pointy bullet-shaped things.

I think the anti-meds/vaccines crowd are going batzoid crazy overboard! I admit, I think we're OVER-medicated but meds are NOT the problem, excessive unneeded prescriptions is. I'm a Complimentary-Medicine person (Holistic/Natural & Alopathic combined), myself but these conspiracy people are pure psycho! I need my Prozac! Sometimes you need meds!

Kind of unrelated, but why did everyone suddenly stop caring about the Occupy movement? It seemed to be doing something. I haven't heard anything about it in quite a while.

The media realized that we are a trivial society and stopped reporting on it. Then they started reporting on other stupid things and society just forgot...

Don't worry. This is where the Internet comes in. The Web has been a great tool of Independent media & getting the news around. "THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED", as the saying goes. OCCUPY is still going strong....Just don't count on the mainstream news outlets on TV & Radio to report it (since they're owned & run by the 1% Robber Barons).

If he was trying to portray those as bad things, he forgot one of the rules of propaganda... don't make things you oppose look pleasant.  Because right now, even knowing his stance, the only thing I can actually see that looks at all what he's trying to convey is the "Nuns in pants" sorta thing.

Everything else looks too happy or too neutral to be the evil he's trying to convey.

You can't invite the wolves in, make them feel at home, wink at their same-sex affliction, and then be shocked that they actually want to be treated no differently than straight people. Of course they're going to damn-near riot and threaten violence when they're "denied" the right to marry. Of course they're going to flip their pink-glitter covered lids when someone points out they're not "normal". Of course they're going to toss their Birkenstocks when someone says that "two mommies" might as well be "two wildebeests" raising a child.

So asking to be treated like a human being is the same as devouring someone. Okey dokey!

Most of the time sports are just, well, sports. Other times, as with Tim Tebow, it's a barometer of the culture. Ask a person how they feel about Tim Tebow and it will tell you alot about where they stand on many other issues. Those who like Tebow probably are sympathetic to the Christian faith, even if they're not necessarily church-goers. Additionally, they would probably agree that Hollywood is a cesspool and embrace traditional American values. Those who hate Tebow are more likely to resent traditional American values and probably embrace the creeping socialism of the Obama administration.



Let's have a quick snapshot:


Like Tebow? Abortion stops a beating heart.

Hate Tebow? Pro-choice all the way, baby!



Like Tebow? Wouldn't watch Bravo TV on a bet.

Hate Tebow? Think same-sex relations are ok!



Like Tebow? Proudly fly that American Flag!

Hate Tebow? Burning the flag is awesome!



Like Tebow? Sundays usually involve Church.

Hate Tebow? Sundays are for reading the NY Times.



Like Tebow? Obama is a communist.

Hate Tebow? MSNBC is your cup of de-caf coffee!

The problem with that poster is that pretty much everything that is not catered towards a minority caters towards the majority instead.

One channel may be devoted to LGBT stuff, one channel may be devoted to racial minorities, but all of the other channels are devoted to the dominant majority, which is the white, anglo-saxon, protestant males.

There is a dating site dedicated overwhelmingly to whites. It's called "E Harmony." If you want one that actually prohibits blacks, there is once called Searchpartner.com. Careful, though, if you follow the ownership of the site back far enough you eventually get to Stormfront. But that's probably what that guy wanted anyway.

There is a month dedicated to whites. In fact there are 11 of them.

There is a magazine dedicated to whites. It's called "Cosmo." There's another one called "People." And one called "Us Weekly." Hell, most of the newsstand is dedicated to white people, and if you see a black person in there, I guarantee that black person is going to look like a white person who just happens to have dark skin. But if you really want a racist magazine, try "American Renaissance ."

There are many television channels geared towards race. CBS. NBC. ABC. FOX NEWS. Television is a business, and you make money in a business by marketing towards the largest, wealthiest demographic you can. In America, that means white people. (At least for now. Soon it will mean brown people.) Why else do you think that rap and hip hop music are all primarily marketed towards white males now?

Clothing line. Geared towards whites? Start with Izod and keep going until you pass Abercrombie and Fitch (after pausing to admire their amazingly homoerotic ads) and eventually get to Brooks Brothers. Then look back and count the thousands of clothing lines marketed almost exclusively towards whites that you passed. (Many of which can be purchased at your local JC Penny or Saks. And don't worry, all of the black people in their ads look just like dark skinned whites and are all smiling.)

Scholarship funds for specific race....I got a scholarship for being Scottish. I'm pretty sure that's white.

I think that's the point. Mel Gibson and co. are ultraconservative to the point that they reject the church's teachings (ironic because Catholicism explicitly says you have to follow what the church says, and if you don't, you're not a true Catholic).

Can someone explain to me why they're saying these things are bad?

Communion in the hand: It's considered degrading to the Host. It's not as personal and "coming directly from God" as kneeling and receiving it on the tongue is.

Nuns in pants: Not following traditional gender roles or wearing habits.

Guitars: Not organ music, more modern. HIPPIES.

Altar girls: Obviously allowing women to participate in the service is bad.

Hippies: Clearly hippies are all Wiccan or atheist. Or something. I'm not entirely sure.

Felt banners: Trivial and childish? Google tells me that they are something you make in CCD. I never did, so I don't know what they're referencing.

You mean black main character. There were plenty of extras in the Mombasa scenes. Also, when you consider Saito and Yusuf, the core cast (i.e. the team doing the eponymous inception) is 67% white (71% counting Fischer), which is roughly accurate for modern America. The real problem with Inception lies in its 83%/86% male cast (I can't recall seeing any Kenyan women in the film), along with Nolan's possible issues with fridge-stuffing (http://web.archive.org/web/20101015014835/http://www.overthinkingit.com/2010/07/29/christopher-nolan-feminism/).

Christopher Nolan is (largely) fine when it comes to race relations, as opposed to George Lucas (the Star Wars prequels) and Michael Bay (pretty much everything). But of course, these are shit films for so many other reasons.

Absolutely. Every single person chose freely who to marry, and so far every single person has chosen to marry either white European or mixed-Hispanic partners. Bear in mind that not a single person made their decision to marry or not marry someone based on their race, but that doesn't change the fact that we're all white (with a sprinkling of light-brown in my Uncle Sean's line).

"Inception" had no black actors in major roles because none of the major characters were black. This happens, especially in Hollywood films where the stories are set primarily in the United States, which (according to the 2010 census) is 72% white and only 12% black. I find it far more invasive when a film insists on inserting a token black character just so they can have one.

(And never mind the fact that the old cliche of the one black guy in a movie getting killed first just happens to be true a Hell of a lot of the time. For examples see "Heat," "Red," "Aliens," "Mindhunters," "The Island," "Halloween: Resurrection," "Full Metal Jacket," "Gremlins," "Night of the Demons," "Stargate," "Star Trek II," "Resident Evil, Extinction," "Virus," "The Edge," "The Crow," "Queen of the Damned," "Alien Nation," "Red Dawn," "Hulk," "Hollow Man," "The Langoliers," "American Psycho," "Fantastic Four 2," "Wing Commander," "Stealth," "Dungeons & Dragons," (ow. It hurt to even acknowledge that film exists) "Christine," "Super 8," "X-Men First Class," "Aliens v. Predator: Requiem," and many, many, many more.)

You're family may work differently.

How many of your family members did you audition before you hired them to be blood kin?

yes I know, you're family chooses who to marry (assuming they aren't gay).

However are they choosing someone they think is compatible and want to spend the rest of their life from the pool of those they generally have contact with?

.. Or to fill a short lived role which is a simulcrum of reality, advertised to the general public?

It seems the problem here is marriage and movies have very different criteria.  A direct analogy may not work.

If the store I used to work at was suddenly allowed to pay everyone only a dollar an hour, they wouldn't hire any more workers, they'd just pocket the difference.  That's because the store already had enough staff to meet its needs.  The only thing that would happen would be that the turnover rate would skyrocket because no one would be able to afford the gas to come to work anymore on that pay.

Hell, if everyone was suddenly allowed to pay a dollar an hour, the store would probably fire people because suddenly no one would be able to afford to shop there and it would need even fewer workers to run.

Except the vast majority of interns are, to my understanding correct me if I'm wrong, college students. College students who get college credit for their internship. So instead of paying hundreds or thousands of dollars to take a class in your field, you go actually work in that field and your college credits you for the experience. And you look more attractive to potential employers than someone with a college degree but zero practical experience. Interns, generally, do benefit from the experience in some measurable way. If I got paid $4 an hour to push carts (as opposed to the $7.73 I do now), I would gain absolutely nothing.

The internship hoop is a service for employers, a requirement for employees. If there was no internship system, the same number- or more- people would be hired in the same jobs. Businesses would just have a slightly worse metric for deciding who to hire. And, of course, they wouldn't get any free labour.

Again, not all of them. And it is still more money than you would make sitting in a college classroom.

It's particularly outrageous that some interns pay for the privilege.

Why? How is it any different from a college class? Shit, one could make an argument that an internship is better than a college class because it gives you experience in the real world with people who actually do the job right now. For example, I'm a broadcasting student and the equipment we learn on (in our basic studio production class) is positively ancient, incredibly basic, and very behind the times. Even our professor wasn't an expert on the equipment, because he had never been on the technical side of the job until he got the professor gig. Real TV stations, on the other hand, tend to have more up-to-date equipment and people who are near experts at using it because they use it every single day. A friend of mine even got her "Advanced Studio Production" requirement waived due to the experience her minimum wage paying internship gave her. My school, at least my department, has a "not approved" list of companies who consistently used interns as either gofers (you're there to learn, not pick up coffee) or replacements for paid workers (you're their to learn as much as you can, not perform one task). There are companies that abuse the shit out of their interns, there are schools that don't keep a careful watch on their internship programs, but that does not mean the system itself is what has to be done away with.

Your earlier point:
Quote
Interns are basically slaves.

Is a MASSIVE overstatement, hyperbole worthy of the most whacked out nutjob. Slaves to not get college credit, slaves do not get paid, slaves do not resume build, slaves have no recourse if they are mistreated, slaves don't go home at the end of the night, slaves don't work for a couple of months and then go someplace else, and most of slaves have no recourse if they are mistreated.

As you've pointed out, students must do internships to get a job, they have no choice. They do work for no wage. If companies want more employees, they can pay for them. They shouldn't be able to exploit students for free. If companies want an employee base with better knowledge than universities can or will provide, they can train them on the job and pay for it.

Now that I think about it, the very existence of unpaid internships leads to an interesting conclusion. It means that the employer is able to dictate the terms of the contract. That means there must be very few firms in that market, i.e., there is some sort of oligopsony. That, in turn, suggests that this outcome is inefficient and a more efficient outcome could be brought about by introducing, e.g., a minimum wage. So really, everybody might in fact be better off if minimum wage laws applied to internships, even though they would reduce employment.

Last I knew, the "12 minutes" thing is referring to the chemical processes in the brain that generate and sustain a particular emotion - in other words, "happy" (or whatever) takes approximately 12 minutes to disperse into the body, and anything more than that is a result of the brain re-visiting the initial emotional trigger that generated the production of those chemicals in the first place. If your brain didn't (reflexively) re-visit the initial trigger, you would only experience your emotions - no matter how intense - for approximately a quarter-hour.

I have no idea if that's true or complete bullshit - and either way it doesn't invalidate someone's feelings - but that's how I understand it.

O.O *hugs tha Wytch*  Holy fuck...I'm sorry, Wykked.  As a person who once considered taking up the psychiatric profession, what that person did is unconscionable and does not represent the profession as a whole.  Not that I think you think that, of course...just sayin.  That prick needs their license revoked and get a nice set of steel-toe boots lodged in their rectum.

Indeed... I don't know where that quack got their license, but a psychiatrist treating their patient that way is cruel and uncaring.  That's beyond 'tough love' type counseling.

You know what? Now that I think about it, she reminds me of Simms, the chief psychiatrist from A Nightmare on Elm Street 3—which I admit I am only making the connection because I recently watched it. But she was trying to guilt the kids and blame their nightmare problems on them. Unfortunately, Freddy Kruger only targets teens, so she survived the movie. If she were in a Friday the 13th film, though, she would likely have gotten some Karmic vengeance. (And, indeed, an even bigger asshole of a psychiatrist does get taken down by Jason in Part VII.)

It's particularly outrageous that some interns pay for the privilege.

Why? How is it any different from a college class? Shit, one could make an argument that an internship is better than a college class because it gives you experience in the real world with people who actually do the job right now. For example, I'm a broadcasting student and the equipment we learn on (in our basic studio production class) is positively ancient, incredibly basic, and very behind the times. Even our professor wasn't an expert on the equipment, because he had never been on the technical side of the job until he got the professor gig. Real TV stations, on the other hand, tend to have more up-to-date equipment and people who are near experts at using it because they use it every single day. A friend of mine even got her "Advanced Studio Production" requirement waived due to the experience her minimum wage paying internship gave her. My school, at least my department, has a "not approved" list of companies who consistently used interns as either gofers (you're there to learn, not pick up coffee) or replacements for paid workers (you're their to learn as much as you can, not perform one task). There are companies that abuse the shit out of their interns, there are schools that don't keep a careful watch on their internship programs, but that does not mean the system itself is what has to be done away with.

Unpaid internships are bullshit.  How much did the "college credits that are worth something" actually cost the company?  You're basically saying that people should have to do a bunch of free work for the privilege of getting paid for their work in the future.  That privilege would, of course, be worth a lot, but it's ultimately a bullshit made-up requirement that's abused to get free work.  I'm all for work experience credit, but it should be a fully paid job for the work done, without any cut in pay just because they've signed off college credits at no cost to themselves.

Internships can be a way to get your foot in the door as a risk-free method.  They don't have to pay to train you, and at the same time, they get to see your work ethic.

Nowadays, you don't even seem to get an interview if they don't like how you cross your t's and dot your i's, so leaving an impression is valuable nowadays.

Honestly, "Secret Keeper Girl" fails right off the bat for using the word "tweens."

I don't like the word "tweens."  Frankly, the word "pre-teen" means the same thing, is less confusing (when I first saw the word "tween," I honestly thought it meant "people in their early 20's"), and doesn't sound really, really weird.

However, I will say that the "panties test" aspect is right on.  You should not be wearing pants so tight that we can all see the exact shape and/or color of your underwear.  Unfortunately, I usually have to settle for pants that are either too big in the waist, too tight in the butt, or too damn long.  I actually have to wear control-top pants to work just so they aren't hanging off my waist.

"Tweens" is supposed to be short for "Betweens", as in, between childhood and being a teenager. It's a dumb buzz-word, though, so I prefer "preteens" too.

The funny thing is, out of that last list, all but two or three of those are things that are currently happening under the privatized insurance system.

In fact, if one were to point out all the shit that happens under privatized insurance, you could add the following:

-people dying of easily treatable conditions
-corruption
-legal theft (admittedly, a stretch.  The idea is that insurance companies are doing their best to make you pay for as much insurance as they can get you to buy while providing as little of it to you as possible.  In other words, it is in their best interest to NOT provide you with the service you paid for, which is in my opinion, theft)

And probably more.

Health care should not be a business.  It should be a fundamental human right.

Yeah, I don't get where people say people are against Romney for being rich.  Most, if not all, politicians are far wealthier than the average American.  Criticizing someone for unethical business and accounting/banking practices is completely acceptable, but it seems as though the some conservatives can't understand that.

Having watched COPS and whatnot, (Hardly a representitive sample, but whatever)  nearly every asshole that gets arrested tends to use the "OMG my wrists hurt, POLICE BRUTALITY!!!"  Doesn't matter the race, gender, or age of the person.  This is especially funny/aggravating after the asshole has just beaten his/her wife/husband/gf/bf/random person on the street. 

Another thing is that many of them will walk towards a police officer who is pointing a gun at them as if they're Superman, but as soon as they see a Police Dog, (they don't even have to send in the dog, just the dog straining at the leash) they collapse and start begging for mercy.

I think that is because they know a cop probably won't shoot unless they have to so you can act tough whereas the dog would really, really, REALLY like to expose your internal organs to daylight and isn't concerned with paperwork or review boards.

It's amazing how little the Tea Party and other Libertarians/Republicans know about U.S. History. With various movements dedicating themselves to Free-Market Capitalism, oppressing minorities, anti-intellectualism, etc., our founding fathers should be rolling in their graves.

God was forced to give Mary a c-section via the use of his teeth because baby Jesus was a threat to his human mother's life. Unfortunately, the procedure left Mary bleeding to death, so God turned her into a vampire.

A sparkly vampire!

Very different people turned out.  The electorate who showed up in 2008 was much, much younger than the one that has showed up since.  That's also why the Dems were so successful in 2008 and the GOP was so successful in 2010.  Plus, higher turnout tends to favor Democrats, and Walker was elected and survived recall in years where there wasn't a Presidential race on the ballot (which massively increases turnout).

Though, actually, Obama exit polls from the recall election that Walker won 54-46 shows that the very same group of voters would have favored Obama 51-48 over Romney.  Obama should win in November by a much larger margin than that.

Outside Milwaukee, Wisconsin can be pretty nutty, especially in some of the wealthy suburbs like Brookfield.  I was just in Wisconsin the weekend before July 4, and from Milwaukee to Green Bay, I'd say 1/2 to 1/3 of the billboards were: Obama is a nazi/socialist, anti-abortion, anti-any religion other than Evangelical Christianity, anti-immigrant, etc.  Conservative groups threw a ton of money around up there.  I probably saw less religious/subtle racism billboards when I was in Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia in 2010 combined.

Another reason might be that the guy running to unseat Walker lost to him in 2010.

This actually has a good point. If you think eating meat is murder, you think other people are murdering animals.
Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons

Excepting, of course, the fact that the human body needs meat.  If you go Vegan, you need to take supplements.  And if you do, well, good for you.  Regardless, the human body is designed for both the consumption of animal and plant matter.  We're omnivores.

Yes, it's sad that animals die so we can consume their flesh, but that's life.  Lions kill and eat their prey.  Bears do, too.  And they don't give a damn about the suffering of the animal they kill.  Some wildcats suffocate their prey, which is a slow, agonizing death.

Some animals don't even wait for their prey to die before they begin eating.

Seriously, the world is a cruel place.  And honestly, compared to other animals, humans as a whole (outside of certain situations which PETArds love to blow up out of proportion) tend to be quite merciful to their prey, aiming for quick, painless deaths.

That being said, we could be standing to eat less meat.

A lot of them believe that the "natural" human diet is a frugivore one, based on fruit containing most of the vitamins, etc. that we need, and several other primates sustain mainly on fruit. What they fail to realize is that A) Our teeth are clearly those of omnivores, B) Fruit may contain many of the nutrients we need, but not in realistic proportions, and C) The fact that we are fairly closely related to frugivores hardly means they we're a fruit-only species (and many of those frugivores don't exclusively eat fruit, even if it's their primary food-source). Not to mention that humans are drawn to a variety of food groups for a reason.

There's got to be some kind of fallacy in separating humans from other animals when it comes to deciding the moral implications of meat eating. Lions kill and eat other animals because that is what they evolved to do, just as humans did.

No, it means that the fact that it occurs in nature is basically irrelevant to whether homosexuality is or isn't morally acceptable.  However, the fact that homosexuality occurs in nature does undermine the idiotic argument that homosexuality is a choice, so it is relevant to the debate, because the issue of choice is part of the debate.  Of course, I don't see how it being a choice or not has much to do with the morality of it either, but that's not the point.

Those who argue that homosexuality is wrong are committing the ecological fallacy (in addition to just being incorrect).

If the people arguing that homosexuality is not immoral were using only its existence in nature as an argument, sure. Of course, most not-bigots I've heard use other arguments as well, the most obvious being that it doesn't harm anyone.

If (when?) a bigot tries to argue that homosexuality is unnatural and therefore immoral, they're not only lying, they're also using a logical fallacy (which is also a kind of lying).

Going point by point:
*No, he simply doesn't give Israel carte blanche. If a country we weren't good buddies with pulled half the shit Israel does on a regular basis, we would be talking about maybe invading.

*Gee, I seem to remember the economy tanking when I was still in high school...which was under Bush. I also remember big banks being given bajillions of dollars when I was in high school.

*Gee, I seem to remember Obama encouraging congress to save the auto industry and pass the stimulus. While the actual effectiveness of those two actions is debatable, it did at least try to save/create jobs for regular folks. It's almost like almost tanking the entire world's economy takes some serious time to recover from.

*OK, I don't actually know anything about this.

*Yeah, that was a pretty major fuck-up. Incidentally, the "gunwalking" program that lead to this scandal began in 2006. That does not make the Obama Administration's continuation of it OK, it makes both Bush and Obama fuck-ups on this.

*Obama has deported the shit out of illegal immigrants, (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/12/obamas-record-high-deportations-draw-hispanic-scorn/) so yeah.

*The Right Wing uses this word a lot. I'm not sure if they know what it actually means.

*See, I agree that Obama has a shittier record than I'd hoped on constitutional issues. However, that shitty record specifically comes from his continuation of Bush era policies.

*Because poor people shoulda gotten rich if they didn't want to die of treatable conditions, amiright? [/li][/list]

Okay, so the myth states that 1) the ATF was able to arrest and charge dozens of people, who illegally purchased weapons for the Mexican drug war but 2) chose not to ('let the guns walk') in order to prosecute higher-ranking mob bosses. This is not correct.

Because of decades of NRA manipulation of state legislation, it is almost impossible to prosecute someone for purchasing a firearm in Arizona. It's also almost impossible to prosecute someone for purchasing a truckload of firearms, regardless of the clear intent behind the purchase. The ATF could not prosecute anyone, because of these extremely stringent laws. So the guns walked.

Once they had found their way into Mexico, drug gangs used the NRA-provided firearms to shoot people, one of whom was an American border guard. Then the NRA blamed Obama for their guns being used to kill Americans.

By being a ruthless - but generally ethical - business person. There's a world of difference between the kind of power Bill Gates had and the kind of power Mitt Romney has, a world of difference between the long-term impacts of how they got the power, and a world of difference in how they use it.

Also, another one: Barack Obama, a greedy fuck? Really? He was upper middle class all the way, but he could hardly be called greedy. Ambitious, yes, but ambition is not greed and ambition is not evil. Greed is evil.
Actually, the so called 'Fast and Furious' thing turns out to be a lie. It never happened.
Not for nothing, but Wikipedia (I know) says that the ATF was running the kind of stings that caused the scandal on and off from 2006-2011. Five years, give or take. There was no movement on the cases the earlier operations until Obama took office. No matter what, these stings were cluster fucks on the part of the ATF. Accidentally allowing hundreds of guns end up in the hands of the Mexican drug cartels isn't that much better than doing it on purpose.

IIRC, there were not 60 Democratic Senators, as the majority was not fillibuster-proof. And that was the problem - the GOP fillibustered the original plan (including the public option). The only way to stop the fillibuster and pass the bill was to remove the "offensive" parts.

Given that their goal was to dissolve an old power structure and break down traditional political (and religious, given that the King was the head of the Church of England) ties, it's also pretty inaccurate to call them 'right-wing'.  There can be no doubt that they were conservative by today's standards (see slavery), but for their time, they were arguably radically, revolutionarily, progressive.

not sure seeing how the Brits offered freedom to slaves who fought for them (no matter what Mel Gibson says)
Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons
Post by: Veras on August 02, 2012, 11:20:44 am
The British offered freedom to individual slaves of Patriots who left their masters and fought for the Loyalists.  Several Northern colonies/states also offered to free slaves who fought for their side, as did many individual slave owners on both sides (though this promise was often broken).  Nonetheless, Great Britain didn't abolish slavery in the Empire as a whole until 1833, more than half a century after the American Revolution ended.  The British did not intend to end slavery as a whole in the American colonies.

The point is that, even though the antislavery movement did already exist by the 1770s, slavery was still legal and widely socially acceptable.  As time went on, and ideas about race relations and human rights became more progressive, slavery became less and less acceptable and was slowly banned by more and more nations.  The Founding Fathers were generally more conservative than modern society, as can be seen in the example of their support for or tolerance of slavery.  However, judging political philosophies requires looking at the society in which they existed.  Conservatives in the late 1700s were monarchists, while radicals supported constitutions and republics.  So, in the reality of their time, most of those who fought for independence from Britain were really radical leftists who were committed to challenging the old order and authoritarianism.

I'm not trying to say that Washington and Jefferson would be Democrats if they were alive today.  We can't make that judgement, because too much has changed in the past two and a half centuries.  I just take issue with the right-wing assertion that the Founding Fathers were all conservatives.

Now I'm not for as much for the gun control measures that people, liberals in particular, like to jump on after a shooting occurs(I have no problem with some gun control measures, I just don't buy into the panic), I would rather see better mental health care awareness and whatnot, especially if it's coming from pro-gun groups. But conservatives need to understand there are huge differences between the guns of today, and guns from 250 years ago, it could serveral minutes to load one of the guns used in the revolutionary war, while now you can load a gun in a matter of secords.

Be as paranoid as you want(I might think it's unwarranted) and have as many guns of all shape and size as you want(Can I shoot that mini-gun?), just don't be a dumbass and shoot someone accidentally or intentionally. Most of the people I know of that have more than a couple guns follow the basic rules of gun safety more then anyone else. Unless someone poses an actual threat to you, don't shoot them, that means has a weapon pointed in your direction. If someone breaks into your house generally you holding a gun is more then enough to make them listen to you when you say "hands up, and lay on the floor" then have someone else call the police, or if you want to humiliate the guy more make him call the police himself.

It's funny because "Strawman has a point"

The two statements are neither hypocritical nor inconsistent.  In fact, they greatly agree with each other.  The first statement encourages the freedom of speech while also exercising freedom of speech by criticizing how other people use their freedom of speech.  The second statement is much the same.  It's just a lot more whargarbly (and I won't deny that many people on the left are also masters of whargarbl)

It's like conservatives don't understand that one can use one's first amendment's rights to react to another person's first amendment's rights.

...

That being said, while my opinion about Chick-Fil-A is the same, it's not news to me, and I'm not about to go on a screaming tirade, and I will treat anyone who does so the same way I would treat anyone who went on a screaming tirade about rainboreos. ;D

I do agree that, without any context, that does look a bit self aggrandizing. However, here's an excerpt from the Armstrong Family's official statement:
Quote
For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.

In context, Obama posted a photo of himself doing exactly what Neil's family asked all of us to do as memorial.

It is considered life... in the same way that skin cells and trees are considered life.

If Pro-lifers really are concerned about life, then they'd object to people cutting down trees, because "it's life".  The more extreme ones could lament humanity's incessant "habit" of killing skin cells and shedding them without even so much as a thought.

No one is saying fetuses aren't alive.  They are, however, saying that they are not persons yet.

Sigh.

Life is a continuous process that started billions of years ago and has been ongoing ever since. Sperm and egg cells are alive, as are zygotes, embryos and fetuses. The question is not whether those things are alive, the question is whether they carry the same weight as a human being.

Alright, yet another excuse to argue against a pro-lifer/anti-choicer's macro carrying their arguements on what is "life." Allow me to argue about what is "life," and also, what is "sentience."

Egg cells, sperm cells, embryo/fetus = not sentient.

Newborn baby, older human being = sentient.

This is why contraception (sperm cells are blocked from the uterus and/or prevented from fertilizing the egg), menstruation (the egg cell shreds the walls of the uterus, causing vaginal bleeding), masturbation (sperm cells are ejaculated from the penis, usually to be caught by tissue or toilet paper or even land on someone else), non-procreative sex (notably oral or anal sex, sex with the use of contraceptives like condoms or spermicides and non-penetrative sex), and finally, abortion (terminating an embryo or fetus and removing it from the womb, most commonly by the vacuum tube method) are not heinous while infanticide (killing a baby after birth) is. But of course, anti-choicers (depending on how zealous and militant they are) would like to claim that killing any or all of the above non-sentient lifeforms is like killing the sentient lifeform. Then again, I am an unapologetic supporter of abortion and contraception and I am saddened by the very fact that so many politicians and "grannies" are fighting against our choices and expecting women to be breeders and not someone of as much importance as a man. Lastly, I would like to say that to claim that an egg cell (fertilized or not), sperm cells, and an embryo/fetus are people is batshit insane and I don't know why it's so hard to argue against it in states like Oklahoma, Virginia, and where else this bullshit "Personhood Amendment" is in place.

(I would like to dedicate this post to Paul Ryan, who is the new Rick Santorum, and who should stick a tampon up his ass. I would also like to dedicate this lengthy post to all those assholes who have approved of the Personhood Amendment and who are defunding and even hindering funding for Planned Parenthood, despite the fact that abortions are only 3% of their services.)

While I am sure first term embryos are not sentient, the later stages of pregnancy is a serious grey area for me.  I know the fetus doesn't really change in any significant biological way at the moment of birth, except for its environment and some systemic disengagements... So that sentience, the ability to experience and process stimulation, must come at some point during the fetal development, and I'm not sure where.
But if a fetus has the same level of awareness and capacity to feel pain as, say, a newborn puppy, I would consider it wrong to kill it for any reason it would be wrong to kill the puppy.
That said, the wart on my thumb is alive and I am totally aborting it.

Well given that they would rather sick people die than receive medical care, one can only assume that their approach and plan to help move people off food stamps is to have all the poor people die of sickness or hunger.

Like RavynousHunter said, their ads show cows holding signs advocating for the restaurant and/or against burgers (presumably so they won't become burgers). The cartoon is showing the their spokescows advocating for the first amendment rights of the company.

Which, with the exception of Chicago and at least one other city who tried to keep them out using the law, completely misses the point of the first amendment.

So Chick-fil-A must be a Southerner thing. Then again, the headquarters is located in Georgia, a state run by reactionary fuckholes against LGBT and reproductive rights, even teaching evolution (and dismissing creationism as a bunch of balderdash, which it is). I feel sorry for anyone who lives there (shout out to SpaceProg for being the few Georgians who are able to think with a properly functioning mind) and who has to deal with this bullshit.

My grandparents insist that the homeless in their area spent too much time using the phones to socialize instead of trying to turn their situation around. If that's the case more often than not, then I'm inclined to agree that it's a rather careless policy/program.

Aye.  The last thing we need is for our homeless people to become dangerously insane because they've been denied some form of comfort in basic human contact, even if its just over a phone.  Human beings need to socialize, they need to talk and interact with one another.

Take it from me, isolation will make you dangerously insane, if prolonged for a long enough period.  Been there.

#2 really confuses and angers me.  The number of birth control pills you take isn't related to how often you're having sex at all.  It's a daily pill.  Whether you have sex once a month, or 3 times a day, you're still taking the same exact amount of birth control.

Thanks for the clarification, there are no Chick Fil A's around where I live, so I've never saw any of the commericals, not to mention I don't watch much TV to begin with.
There's no Chik-Fil-A around here, either.
There is no Chik-Fil-A within a hundred miles of here.
So Chick-fil-A must be a Southerner thing. Then again, the headquarters is located in Georgia, a state run by reactionary fuckholes against LGBT and reproductive rights, even teaching evolution (and dismissing creationism as a bunch of balderdash, which it is). I feel sorry for anyone who lives there (shout out to SpaceProg for being the few Georgians who are able to think with a properly functioning mind) and who has to deal with this bullshit.

...But that's not to say that Texas (where I live) isn't also a reactionary shithole run by complete dumbasses against LGBT and reproductive rights as well...
People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones man.  Seriously, Texas is a state that makes those of us here in Georgia feel good about ourselves in comparison.

And just to let you know, Mother Teresa just hoarded a bunch of dying people and didn't take care of them. All she did with them was cry and pray for them as they die from illness. She isn't "Pro-life," rather a psychopath who should be dishonored in the same ranks of people like Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Pol Pot, Osama bin Laden, etc.

Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons
Post by: Veras on November 15, 2012, 09:04:13 pm
I think it is because the pills taken during the period don't actually do anything.  The only reason that they are included is to keep you in the habit of taking the pill every day.  Presumably, they're visibly different because it would be bad to accidentally take a sugar pill instead of a real pill at any other point in the month.  Actually, in my wife's, each week is a different color.

Hm? Oh, syntax has struck again. It's simply when you'd normally get your period.  Some will still experience spotting and such. And other birth control pills you should have a period. Even if it isn't every month anymore, and instead maybe 4x a year.

Actually, in my wife's, each week is a different color.

Each of the first three weeks contain varying levels of hormones, which is why they're different colours. It's one of the many features used to help ensure that people use the pill correctly (along with labeling the days of the week, having the sugar pills even more distinguishable from the rest, etc.).

Really?  I heard that menstruation was kinda...unnecessary.  I know that the last girl I was with (and, yes, I'm sickened to say that) had an IUD, and hadn't had a period in 5 years, with no ill effects.

There really isn't any consensus about the long term effects of not menstruating due to hormonal contraception. Generally, most doctors believe its safe to skip it for several months in a row (hence the availability of three month cycles of the pill), but recommend four periods a year as a precaution.

Also, oral contraceptives affect everyone differently. Some have sensitivities to the regular pill, requiring the mini pill (which contains only progestin, rather than the standard progesterone + estrogen mix) and/or taking the one week monthly break.

And, of course, there are people who are concerned about the long term effects of skipping even one period.

The brown ones also usually contain iron.  Since the week off the hormones gives you a "period," the iron helps prevent anemia in people who are susceptible to it.

To put this in perspective: The last period I had before going on the Pill, I was so anemic that after 15 minutes I had to go back to bed.  I was too dizzy to remain upright any longer.

I'd have a lot more respect for Israel if they would just be honest and say 'for every rocket you fire we will kill one of you at random so you subhuman pieces of shit better start kissing our asses.'

It's Twinkie the Kid. Back when I was growing up in the 80s, Hostess had animated mascots that appeared in commercials for some of their products. Think the Keebler elves.

It would be more accurate if the cartoonist had relabeled "union bosses" as "Hostess management" since they took massive pay raises and ran their own company into the ground.

Even if we go with their logic, it's not all the unions either. Only the Baker's Union was still on strike. The Teamster's Union had already had a deal hammered out that they accepted. Only the Baker's were on strike. So to say the union's were entirely responsible for the closing is dumb.

That jew face seems to be shopped from another picture and it is in a way different style than the rest of the picture.

It's not a poe. It's a real cartoon, as pointed out by Chad. I posted the originals over on the old boards. Hang on.

I know that the jew face is from a racist comic but what I meant was that the pony comic might be a poe.

A. Wyatt Mann has a distinct style and seeing that the face is in a completely different style than the rest (more I look at it the more I am certain that it has been shopped to the pony pic.) it seems to me that:


a) Perhaps the original pic wasn't a crazy rasist conspiracy. Maybe it was Faust handling the puppets.

b) If I wanted to make a poe/satire comic I would probably use the style of A. Wyatt Mann or something similar.

Before the "night of the long knives" the Nazi party still had some socialism in them but when Hitler and his cronies purged the party of all leftist (either arresting them or simply murdering them) along with the SA.

After that it was more like NATIONAL-socialist party.

I really like the cartoon accusing all cartoonists of fascism. It really strikes me as a great symbol of modern 'conservatism'. No longer is conservatism a defence of tradition- now any long-standing policy maintained by the Democrats is just another sign of their Marxism/Muslim sympathy ect.

And if you point out that, say, McCulloch vs Maryland is centuries old, you're just 'blaming Bush' and should forget yesterday ever existed.

Because only one person can ever come up with a solution to a problem, and once that person dies, the solution is GONE FOREVER.

Remind me again why I used to believe this stuff?
This.

Plus, how exactly does population control / family planning increase world hunger?

Not to mention, their definition of social problems is about 3,000 years out of date...

As for the cures for cancer and aids - well Jesus said you should rub yourself in oil and go to a TEMPLE and pray. I'll stick to modern medicine myself. Not to mention, why did God make those things so indiscriminate, arbitrary and hard to fight? It's almost as theotarded as Behe's wonderful irreduceably complex flaggellum, which not only is reduceably complex, but if you argue God especially designed it, why did he give it to the Ebola virus - not to mention, YTF did he design the Ebola virus in the first place?

I've never understood how this argument makes sense either. Somehow the anti-abortion crowd seems to ignore the fact it's much more likely that potential mass murderers, serial killers, pedophiles and sociopaths have been aborted than miracle cure workers.

Because, in theory, you may have just aborted the next Norman Borlaug (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug). Then again, it is just as reasonable to guess you just aborted the next Harold Shipman. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Shipman)
Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons
Post by: Sigmaleph on December 17, 2012, 07:33:22 pm
I'd argue that the idea that "we aborted the next X" is not only unknowable but ill-defined. At the point the abortion took place, more or less the only thing that is known about the future person is their genetics, and genetics do not determine your potential to solve the problems of humanity or become a serial. Environment matters. So, let's say you specify that a particular abortion didn't take place. Okay. Why? Did the mother have a change of heart and decided to raise the kid herself? Did some generous couple decide to adopt? Was the kid entrusted to the care of relatives? Each choice leads to different environments and different futures, and is inseparably linked with the particular choice of counterfactual that resulted in no abortion.

Also, God is a dick if he entrusts the solution to the world's ills to embryos that he knows will be aborted. But that we already knew.

Kit, I'm aware who Norman Borlaug and Harold Shipman are. Are you aware that this is an entirely specious argument, the gist of which had been outlined by the poster I replied to? Please also note I said family planning. Two or three kids per family, not 12.

A better link.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/14/business/energy-environment/14borlaug.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/14/business/energy-environment/14borlaug.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0)

Note that Borlaug was working for the Rockerfeller Foundation. If he hadn't got the job, someone else would've. Most discoveries are made, if not concurrently, in close competition. If there was no Norman Borlaug, someone else would've done it - it's been happening to varying (and astonishing) degrees across the globe for the last 10,000 years as it is.

Notably however, - if there was no Harold Shipman, not sure if someone else would've gone and done that... It's not like he was an incompetent General.

Greatness, while hugely dependent upon being in the right place at the right time, is somewhat self-selecting, and additionally, just because someone had a unique role to play in history, it does not by any means, mean that they were uniquely qualified to fill it.

FDR was able to stand on his own for very short periods. He was often found standing behind a full-size podium and would not let the curtains be drawn back until after his wheelchair was put out of view.

FDR's car is outfitted similar to my own. It's very neat and regardless of the conspiracies surrounding him and Pearl, I still look up to him for his stubborn attitude towards his polio.

Some trolls are more along the lines of the "I will tell you the truth you don't want to hear to make you angry" than the "I will say shit to make you angry"

With "truth", in this case, meaning "Beliefs that I have decided are factually correct based on my own ideology, which I consider superior to your ideology"

In this case, I'm guessing it's the former.

I've heard that argument with one man many women polygamy before. Basically they say one-man-many-wives polygamy is good because then you know who the father is, and you get a ton of babies, and they're healthier since the women are younger.
One-woman-one-man polygamy is bad because you don't know who the father is, and she gets "worn out".

Depends heavily on social expectations. Speaking from personal experience she'd probably end up with only one surviving male around her(one way or another) in the circles I've known. More base cultures you'd even have the concerns of a male eliminating children to ensure his own recieve all of the resources.

There's a chance of a few staying around a woman sleeping around, but I doubt it. Plus it hardly makes sense for a guy to sleep around when you take child support laws into account. Evolution flunked out of law school maybe. But these are people who think getting laid will do anything other than let them say they've gotten laid, so there's always bit of circumspect logic involved.

This isn't totally related, but sometimes birds will practice weird forms of polygyny. One species (I forgot the name, but it's basically a common finch) will have the male birds mate with many female birds, but he will only "marry" and raise the nest that he sees hatches first. This competition for the male leads to crazy ass female bird fights, such as females smashing other females eggs, or dumping the babies out.

Birds are crazy as shit man.

Not unknown for polygamy too, or in cases when their son is in line to inherit in some manner if one was to go back in time. May even occur if one mother dies, and the man remarries, they may try to murder the original heir so their heir will inherit. I mean, if the mother has decent control of the heir, they usually can control a puppet kingdom or something. And since they've already produced progeny, there's no reason they'll get married off.

I think the most common form of polyandry is a wife married to a set of brothers, which would ensure only 1 set of heirs per generation.

Not to mention we have a country where our sense of community, and caring about others have been replaced with the "rugged individualist" myth. But sadly I haven't seen any pro-gun group endorsed this idea, because they're too busy pandering to the right wing in this country.

Not to mention the point, widely missed, I'm reasonably sure entirely intentionally, is that the point of gun control is to reduce the number of guns present, make it easier to confirm someone owns the guns, and make it more difficult for guns to be obtained by someone who shouldn't have them over all.

It doesn't matter if they don't follow it, if everyone else does they'll still have a bitch of a time getting weapons and it'll be much easier to track down the people selling the weapons to those who shouldn't have them.

That has become my sister's motto, her and hubby make about $200,000 a year, in which she brings home most of the money. She is not only taxed on federal level, but is taxed by both the State of CT(where they live) and NY(where she works). Has spent some money on lux pairs of shoes, clothing, pocketbooks, and etc. and is still able to live quite comfortably, plus is more than willing to help out family members in need of assistance (you should see the dumb fights that she and my mother get into over how my mom is insistant on paying for stuff, when she's like"No, you keep the money, I'm paying for this"). She is baffled on how people don't want to pay their taxes, when they have more money than what she has.

The problem there is that the US is over 25 times as large as Japan as far as land area goes. There's just a lot more ground to cover even if such laws could be enacted.

A complete gun ban in the US, with the number of (currently) legal guns out there would be a logistical nightmare on par with, or likely exceeding, our increasingly idiotic "War on Drugs."  We don't need an outright ban.  Like with most things what we need is sensible regulation.  The problem with all this gun control crap is that people always seem to see it as a completely black and white issue: either you want guns for citizens, or you don't want them for anyone except law enforcement and the military, there's no middle ground with some of these people.

And, such thinking is why political debate is becoming an increasingly exhausting undertaking, even with people who are otherwise quite sensible.

@Commander Shepard Sorry I didn't mean for my response to come out as saying that was the point you were making. I was just adding onto the conversation.

On the WSJ tax increase cartoon. I just can't get past the utter shite of people being upset over a couple grand going to the govt when people like that typically spend that much money on a single set of clothing, like a suit jacket, or even a super lux pair of designer shoes. I just have to say, after eating pasta for dinner about 20 times in a row, that "eat the rich, feed the poor" is not even a joke to me any more.

That has become my sister's motto, her and hubby make about $200,000 a year, in which she brings home most of the money. She is not only taxed on federal level, but is taxed by both the State of CT(where they live) and NY(where she works). Has spent some money on lux pairs of shoes, clothing, pocketbooks, and etc. and is still able to live quite comfortably, plus is more than willing to help out family members in need of assistance (you should see the dumb fights that she and my mother get into over how my mom is insistant on paying for stuff, when she's like"No, you keep the money, I'm paying for this"). She is baffled on how people don't want to pay their taxes, when they have more money than what she has.

It's cool. I forgive ya.

And yeah, it's a logistical nightmare and once again trying to compare the US to other countries is a damn red herring and I'm not in the mood for it.

I'm gonna have to ask for a citation on the latter, because...that sounds like somethin pulled out of one's ass and polished up a teensy bit to seem reasonable.

Not to mention that while we do give maternity leave now more often then not, we still skimp fathers on paternity leave.

http://blogs.ngm.com/blog_central/2010/06/mapping-paternity-leave-new-fathers-miss-out.html

As a society we don't seem to really grok the idea of men being care takers.

Yeah but whenever a soldier does something terrible like a terrorist, anyone who calls him out is called an "america hater". Also people try to justify their decisions, such as saying "These soldiers are bred to kill. They don't know any better!" after a soldier kills a bunch of village women and children, or throwing a puppy off a cliff; whereas if a Muslim does anything Americans will flip their shit.

It's pointing out the double standard of dogs getting their claws trimmed while cats get their claws removed.

The cartoon sucks, but the point is valid. Declawing is horrible and unnecessary. I propose anyone who wants to have their cat declawed should have their fingers severed at the last joint to see what it feels like, because that's exactly what declawing is.

If your cat doesn't like having their claws trimmed, get a helper, wrap the cat up in a towel and trim away. Or get those soft claw caps. My vet charges like $10 + the cost of the caps to put them on.

Is this seriously trying to say that surgically removing a cat's claws is the same as trimming the nails? Trimming the cat's nails and rounding the points is perfectly fine, declawing is not. Declawing is the same as if I cut of the tips of your fingers to the joint closest to the end. I can understand why someone might argue in favor of declawing, but that cartoon is the kind of idiocy that will make me punch someone in the face.

 The cartoon also looks horrendously done. Did they use random ass clip art the found through a google search? The kid at the bottom looks like he was shoddily edited in MS paint. There's also a large white spot in front of the dog's paws. For fuck's sake, even MS paint can do decent editing if you put in more than 5 seconds of effort.

It's a shitty cartoon for sure, both because of the unclear point and crappy art. Maybe I'm reading it differently, but I just don't see how this cartoon is saying trimming a dog's nails is as bad as declawing. Notice the vet is named "Dr. Doublestandard"? She's recommending the dog have his claws trimmed (painless unless you really screw up and cut the quick) and the cat have his claws removed (painful and possibly crippling.)

Some vets have taken a stand against declawing and refuse to perform it, but unfortunately many of them still do it because clients ask for it and they make money off it. Some clinics even package it in with neutering and vaccinations as part of a "kitten program." Some even defend the practice.

Exactly.

No matter the message, it was delivered piss poorly.  Not to mention the comic itself is terribly made, too.

For the record, I'm not sure how I view neutering.  I do believe it to be necessary because of overpopulation issues with some animals, but at the same time, I'd hate it if some superior being took away my balls just because he didn't want me to create hellspawn with them.

So I guess I view it in "necessary evil" territory.  I'm kind of a hippie.

I have a cat who likes to randomly start digging his way to China in certain chairs and on the bathroom rug, so I keep his claws trimmed. Thankfully he's so lurvy he'll let me do anything to his feet as long as he can sit in my lap.

That's my take on it to, plus having unaltered animal is a lot of work. I get this newsletter thingy in the mail every month, and one this months topics is whether or not to get your dog altered, and if so when. It's written by a breeder who goes on to talk about the challenges an intact dog may pose. Also if you're like for them to keep their "balls" you can get a vasectomy done on the males, for dogs, at least.

The nice thing about birds is that if they ever get pregnant, you can just make an omelet.

And for some birds, they don't even need to be pregnant for you to have an omelet.

Chicken is the only fowl that comes to mind though.

No a lot of birds do that. Chickens are bred to lay tons of eggs and not get killed from "giving birth" daily though.
My friend in elementary school had a female cockatiel that laid eggs every 1 or 2 months. I always wanted to ask my friend if I could borrow one to eat, just to see what it tasted like, but I figured that would be awkward.

For the record, I'm not sure how I view neutering.  I do believe it to be necessary because of overpopulation issues with some animals, but at the same time, I'd hate it if some superior being took away my balls just because he didn't want me to create hellspawn with them.

So I guess I view it in "necessary evil" territory.  I'm kind of a hippie.

That's my take on it to, plus having unaltered animal is a lot of work. I get this newsletter thingy in the mail every month, and one this months topics is whether or not to get your dog altered, and if so when. It's written by a breeder who goes on to talk about the challenges an intact dog may pose. Also if you're like for them to keep their "balls" you can get a vasectomy done on the males, for dogs, at least.

My parents used to show bulldogs, so I grew up around intact dogs. Oh, the fun of making an uncooperative bitch wear a diaper, separating her from the rest of the dogs, and scrubbing blood out of the carpet. Not to mention every stray dog in your neighborhood hanging around for weeks and trying to jump on her when going for walks.

I will say that intact cats are much more difficult to live with than dogs, though. At least dogs don't spray piss everywhere.

See, I always thought that that particular cartoon was more "poorly thought through" than "overtly racist". There had been a "rampaging chimp eats a lady's face and gets shot by the cops" story a week or two before the stimulus hoopla and the cartoonist defended himself by reminding everyone that it is Congress, not the President, that writes bills. Undoubtedly it is poorly thought outand full of unfortunate implications, but the cartoon would have made sense no matter who was President.

It took me a moment to work out what you were describing there, but in that moment I had a wonderful picture of Obama riding a horse, being pursued by Romney pedalling furiously on a penny-farthing, as some kind of election commentary.

Yeah, the implications were pretty bad, but I don't think the artist meant it that way.  he just didn't think about the connection between black guy in office and chimpanzee.  It was more meant along the lines of "Our elected officials are as dumb as this crazy ape."

Yeah, I didn't see the chimp as a stand-in for Obama, but rather Congress. So basically the joke was that the stimulus package must have been created by a...well, rabid chimp.

EDIT: Though that same artist draws Arabs, gay people, obese people, etc. as offensive stereotypes too, so I doubt he cares what it looks like either way.

Oh look at that, a republican made a funny! What a clever clever congealed mass of hair and cells you are! God, that's SO clever. Because equating a fire extinguisher and firefighters to private gun ownership makes perfect sense! It's like those geniuses who equate banning marriage equality with banning public smoking. It's like you've found a totally reasonable excuse for why something whose sole use is killing is somehow equatable with something whose sole use is extinguishing fires and you just haven't shared it with us.

I'm kidding of course. You should go die in a fire. In fact, I'll help you with a lit match, and hiding the phone to call 9-1-1...and hiding the fire extinguisher. There's a joke in there somewhere but I'm too lazy to find it.

God that's fascinating how their mind "works"...

(Particularly given that the guy drawn on the left, is drawn sympathetically)

Good to see the Commonweath of Nations doesn't exist for starters... They only dropped the phrase British Empire out of the Commonwealth Games in 1970. I don't think there were guns involved in that.

Now starting the British Empire. Whole fuckload of guns involved in that! (same with founding America).

Home Invaders, evil undead nazi fascists that want your stuff... Death is too good for them.



But let's just take a bigass stroll down irony lane... I'm going to be lazy and wikisnip....
Quote
Fascism views direct action, including political violence and war, as a means to achieve national rejuvenation, spirit and vitality.

They argue that nations and races must purge themselves of socially and biologically weak or degenerate people, while simultaneously promoting the creation of strong people, in order to survive in a world defined by perpetual national and racial conflict.


And so let's get to how fascists viewed sexual freedom, the role of women and abortion shall we?

Quote
To appeal to Italian conservatives, Fascism adopted policies such as promoting family values, including promotion policies designed to reduce the number of women in the workforce limiting the woman's role to that of a mother. The fascists banned literature on birth control and increased penalties for abortion in 1926, declaring both crimes against the state.

...

Italian Fascism pursued what it called "moral hygiene" of youth, particularly regarding sexuality.[194] Fascist Italy promoted what it considered normal sexual behaviour in youth while denouncing what it considered deviant sexual behaviour.[194] It condemned pornography, most forms of birth control and contraceptive devices (with the exception of the condom), homosexuality, and prostitution as deviant sexual behaviour, although enforcement of laws opposed to such practices was erratic and authorities often turned a blind eye.[194] Fascist Italy regarded the promotion of male sexual excitation before puberty as the cause of criminality amongst male youth.[194] Fascist Italy declared homosexuality to be a social disease.[194] Fascist Italy pursued an aggressive campaign to reduce prostitution of young women.[194]

Mussolini perceived women's primary role to be childbearers, while men were warriors, once saying, "war is to man what maternity is to the woman".[195] In an effort to increase birthrates, the Italian Fascist government gave financial incentives to women who raised large families, and initiated policies designed to reduce the number of women employed.[196] Italian Fascism called for women to be honoured as "reproducers of the nation", and the Italian Fascist government held ritual ceremonies to honour women's role within the Italian nation.[197] In 1934, Mussolini declared that employment of women was a "major aspect of the thorny problem of unemployment" and that for women, working was "incompatible with childbearing". Mussolini went on to say that the solution to unemployment for men was the "exodus of women from the work force".[198]



I don't think Fascism is dead. I think it's alive and well, particularly in that cartoon. (Just the shit about fiscal equality or no classes doesn't hold truck with them. They're elitist fascists, and no that's not an oxymoron, even if it does combine two of their favourite pejoratives.)

Nuclear explosions killed less people than firebombing in Tokyo and Dresden. I consider those events more heinous, especially since Germany was pretty much beat by the time they started the real firebombing campaign.

Come to that, the war officially ends in 1783 and there still wasn't a British Empire then, there were a few outlying colonies, but the real race for the Empire wouldn't start until the French started poking their noses into India, which doesn't really happen until Napoleon becomes Emperor.

In fact, the Empire doesn't really exist until the 19th Century.

Victim blaming combined with the "irrational woman" stereotype.  Wonderful.
Are they really trying to equate "moving into a bad neighborhood" with "going to a party"?  That if a woman goes to a party, everyone there is going to be an untrustworthy stranger, she should keep herself hidden, and be ever vigilant for potential rapists?  Basically, "If you go to a party, don't socialize or have any fun, because if something bad happens, it'll be your fault."

And hooray for equating "flagrantly displaying your valuables" with "appearing in public while female".

One problem (among the laundry list of problems) with the 'DON'T DRESS LIKE A SLUT, YOU WHORE!' argument is that people have pretty wildly different ideas about what constitutes dressing 'like a slut'. I'm pretty sure fusty old Amish dudes would think I was dressed like a prostitute now in my tank top, button-up shirt, and tight jeans--but I certainly don't think there's anything inappropriate about it. Hardcore religious fundamentalists of most flavours think a woman showing ankle or elbow is salacious. Grandmothers often think skirts above the calf or the knee are only for hookers. I think those skirts so short you can see ass cheek are pretty trashy, and so are visible thongs, and belly button piercings. But never in a million years does that mean the wearer is dressed 'like a whore' or that that's an excuse to sexually assault her.

How about we all just stop saying women shouldn't 'dress like whores' and instead say that men shouldn't rape them no matter how they're dressed? Well, women can rape women as well. And men can rape men. And women can rape men. The point is, it doesn't matter who's wearing what. Or how many people think what you're wearing is 'slutty'. Who CARES?

I got a question concerning rape : Is clothing one factor that influences a rapists decision to rape?
It's an honest question, and please don't get me wrong. I know that the victim is not to blame and that a rapist is a despicable excuse for a human being, with severe mental and social deficits. And I also know that in a perfect world a woman should be allowed to wear a miniskirt the size of a belt if she wanted to, but sadly this world isn't perfect. So could there be a significant number of cases where a rapist would have not raped if the clothing was more conservative? Where the clothing was the straw that breaks the camels back? I personally think that a rapist wouldn't care about how his or her victim looks, but fortunately I have no idea how a rapists brain works. Though maybe someone here has a good study at hand, or is a psychologist.

Anyway, lets assume that clothing is one of the many aspects that factor into the decision for rape, wouldn't it be better to not wear provocative clothes? It's not about what's right or wrong, but what is necessary to protect oneself. If I have the right of way at a crossroad and an idiot comes blazing along, I'd rather not take the chances of an accident and wait a few more seconds, even though I would have been the one to go first. Better save than sorry.
Obviously a bump in my car is nothing compared to the life long psychological scaring that comes from a rape, but still.

I know that this would not stop raping, but if it would just cut the number of rapes by 5% or so, maybe it could be something to think about. And I also know that this whole thing is somewhat abstract, among other things because of what Caitshidhe said, that "dressing like a whore" is not defined in any way.

Clothing is completely insignificant when it comes to rape.  Otherwise, the middle east would have the smallest number of male-on-female rape statistics.  (It doesn't.  It has one of the higher numbers.)

It's more to do with power and entitlement than anything else.  Men who feel that women's place is to be fucked, nothing else.  Or they see a passed out woman and think 'Oh, I am now perfectly entitled to take advantage of her body, because she's like, unconscious dude.'

Of course, this doesn't discount the existence of female-on-male, female-on-female, and male-on-male rape, either.

Nope.  It's a popular excuse rapists use in an attempt to absolve themselves of responsibility once they're accused, but it is very rarely a legitimate deciding factor.  The deciding factor is always whether or not the man feels he's entitled to sex.  If he feels entitled to sex, he will come up with ANY excuse to justify his actions, whether it be her clothing, her attitude, the way she looked at him, the fact that he brought her a drink, the fact that she was too drunk to say "no", the fact that she was alone, the fact that she wore makeup... anything.  Even if you're not dressed "like a whore", they will just find some other reason to tell themselves that they're entitled to sex with you.

Basically, telling women to cover up because their clothing causes them to get raped is like telling children to stop keeping dogs as pets because the dogs keep eating their homework.

Yeah, the "I couldn't help myself" excuse is something that men use as a justification for behavior that they know not to do. When people write that men can't help themselves because they are pigs, this "misandry" is simply a flip side of misogyny, and the former actually helps uphold the latter. That's why so many anti-rape campaigns (that focus on women as victims of rape) see it as important for men to know that they and they alone are responsible for their behavior, not the woman they're lusting after.

Granted, for men and women alike, it's a good idea to know whose party you're going to, the people who'll be there, and the area and have some kind of exit strategy or buddy system in place if you feel uncomfortable and need to slip away--but that's just standard-issue 'avoid putting yourself in dangerous situations' advice that's quite sensible and coincidentally also doesn't put the blame for crimes on the victim. You can make really bad choices and put yourself in a very dangerous situation, but other people's actions are still not your FAULT.

I will grant radfems that they at least try to value the "feminine," but in doing so I think they really just end up supporting gender binaries and prescribed gender roles. (I.e., "women are sensitive, men are aggressive", that sort of thing.)

There are radscums who call themselves "political lesbians" or "lesbian separatists." I have seen these people say that any woman who claims to be straight or bi is actually brainwashed by the patriarchy and needs to be converted to lesbianism. This is much less hot in practice than in theory, and mostly involves lots of angry yelling, science fails, and bizarre worship of menstrual blood. Oh, and lesbians need to set up their own state where they can be free from the inherently sexist and man-made construction of penis-in-vagina sex.

They could worship breasts or vaginas and their various component parts, but these days you can get some good surgery that produces all of that very well without the person actually genetically being female.

My guess is that attitude would last about as long as it takes for said person to have one actual period. When I was a teenager I used to get crippling cramps for days at a time. Now I just have bleeding so bad I get anemia, and I swear my body has some kind of biological ESP that knows when to shift it to the most inconvenient possible time. Just had the last one and decide to go on vacation in six weeks? It's almost a sure bet it's going to start the day before I leave.

I know SOME people seem to like them, but I sure hate mine. When birth control pills specifically intended for delaying your period came on the market, there were a bunch of opinion articles blasting the products for making menstruation seem "bad." The real thing is bad enough if you ask me. I was like, "If you people like it so damn much, have mine."

My guess is that attitude would last about as long as it takes for said person to have one actual period.

Actually, I'm gonna bet this would absolutely be the case. When I was about nine or so my mom started in on me with the 'This Is Your Body' stuff parents awkwardly discuss with their kids. She gave me a bunch of books. The following year is when 'Health Classes' started annually in school, and the big thing they always, ALWAYS talked about was menstruation. 'YOU'RE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE THIS CHANGE THAT MARKS THE BEGINNING OF ADULTHOOD!' It all seemed so weirdly special. So for the next nearly three years I was so anxious to get my first period because I thought it would be this awesome thing. I even hoped I'd have a short cycle so I wouldn't have to wait in between them. Don't ask me why I was so stoked about it, because it sounded gross even then, but I was. (I was an odd child. Still am.)

But as soon as I started, I realized how much it sucked and wondered why I was ever excited about it in the first place.

So, yeah, there's enough hype about how special and womanly it is to menstruate--even from the most well-meaning sources--that it's not unreasonable to assume somebody who didn't yet (or were incapable of) experiencing it would really be anxious to see what it was all about. It's just that MtF transsexuals aren't going to firsthand experience the reality so the desire may never go away.

Kit, you hit the nail perfectly on the head! Without even being trans either. Good job, +1.

It's also the fact that not having one makes us feel like the "odd girl out" which is just a reminder of how we weren't born female, which is a rather upsetting thing to remember. Not being born female just plays on the insecurities we already have with regards to dating & beauty culture.

The beauty culture punishes women for having a period, though. It probably goes back to the whole "unclean" thing in the Bible. Look at how many products there are devoted to hiding them. It's considered a social embarrassment, so bleeding through tampons and pads is a constant worry. Especially if you're in school or have a job that doesn't allow you to take frequent trips to the restroom. Plus there's always the possibility they will start on you when you don't have supplies on hand. Not only are they gross, they aggravate certain medical conditions and increase the likelihood of urinary infections.

Going on hormone replacement would probably be a good thing for her. Not to mention it will make my life better since I won't have to listen to her mood swings or painful cramps.

That said, when I was younger, I used to have severe cramps that kept me bedridden & barfing a lot. However, my body now can have a period with no problems. I also think there's a psychosomatic component. If one changes their thinking about periods (like I did) it does ease the pain a tad. That's not to say one shouldn't get valid medical treatment for PMDD, of course. Mine just kinda went away with time.

Now, all I have to contend with is some bloating & irritability, I can remedy this with some nice teas.

I went through a stage of for about a year, where I would be sick as a dog on the first 2 days of mine, and vomit a lot. I used to be extremely anemic during mine. And my sister has the same problem, and has passed out several times due to it, it is the reason she went on the pill.

You can understand WHY a lot of radical positions exist--radical feminists who hate men, radical minority-rights groups who hate white people, and there must be people outside the Tumblr community who are gay or trans and sincerely hate straight and cis people--because of histories of violence against the supported group by the target of hate. But that doesn't justify the hate of ALL THESE PEOPLE who never did anything.

The simple fact is, you can't fight hate with hate.

Is there a movement for gays to hate straights? Besides on Tumblr. Like genuine "God I hate those breeders".

There are radscums who call themselves "political lesbians" or "lesbian separatists." I have seen these people say that any woman who claims to be straight or bi is actually brainwashed by the patriarchy and needs to be converted to lesbianism. This is much less hot in practice than in theory, and mostly involves lots of angry yelling, science fails, and bizarre worship of menstrual blood. Oh, and lesbians need to set up their own state where they can be free from the inherently sexist and man-made construction of penis-in-vagina sex.

I don't know why a trans person would even want one... I wish I didn't have them.

Because periods mean - among other things - the ability to reproduce and some transwomen would rather like to have that option?

Although in the near future, we're probably going to be able to produce babies in artificial wombs, so even that won't matter.

Yeah - they point out that the flag is "flapping in the breeze made by the fake lunar landing soundstage air system". Actually, the Lack of air is why the flag kept jiggling; no air pressure to slow it down. You can wave a paper fan much faster in a vaccuum than in air. Also, the flag was made of a mylar-like plastic, and reacted to heat from the strong sunlight that bombarded it directly and from heat waves reflected upward from the lunar soil. Then they say, "No stars are visible in any of the lunar surface footage". Why? Because they were on the daylight face of the moon, and lunar soil is reflective - those old video cameras were glared out by the surface refraction, hence no stars. Without an atmosphere, the daylight side of the moon gets extremely hot, too BTW, again because of the nature of the klaast-like dirt surface.

The technology was comparatively primitive back then, but Newtonian physics and navigational maths were well understood and accurately calculated by those minimalistic guidance systems, and the slide-rule using flight engineers back at Houston. The missions were incredibly risky - calculated at up to a 50% + predicted failure rate, but very brave men, highly trained engineers and technicians, and their calm reasoning teamwork made it happen, gaddammit! It's so infuriating when fucktards pompously wave off the bravery and very hard, nerve-wracking work that went into this great human achievement. What really cheeses me off, is people who think the tech wasn't enough to do the lunar landings, but are posing their arguments using technology that would not yet exist now if the moon landing program had not greatly accelerated the pace of research and development. It's like saying Magellan never circumnavigated the world because he didn't have a GPS unit....sigh.

Simple: because even gay people know that gay people don't only have sex with OTHER gay people. At the time HIV/AIDS reared its ugly head in the US, how much of the gay population was living deep in the closet and maintaining a normal heterosexual white-bread marriage with children et al? Most of them. So naturally it could spread to straight people.

Of course, that fits quite neatly into the conspiracy theory, as well. Straighties don't know that gay people live among them, so therefore they wouldn't consider the possibility that they could pass the GAYKILLER VIRUS to the straight master-race.

A s a photographer this part really bugs me.

It's called high dynamic range.  A camera (and your eye) can only differentiate between light and dark areas at the same time to a certain extent.
Most cameras have a range of about 5 f-stops.  A human eye has a range of about 17 f-stops.  (this is one reason why what so often looks so awesome to your eye looks less awesome in a photograph)

But really any one who has ever used a camera (especially those cheap disposable ones) has seen this if they ever took a  picture at night using a flash or of someone in shadow on a sunny day.

they didn't even try on this one.

Being of a NeoPagan stripe, I confess that periods don't bother me and I've learned to love, honor and accept them. That said, when I was younger, I used to have severe cramps that kept me bedridden & barfing a lot. However, my body now can have a period with no problems. I also think there's a psychosomatic component. If one changes their thinking about periods (like I did) it does ease the pain a tad. That's not to say one shouldn't get valid medical treatment for PMDD, of course. Mine just kinda went away with time.

Now, all I have to contend with is some bloating & irritability, I can remedy this with some nice teas.

Honestly, I didn't get really nasty cramps and the like until AFTER I went Pagan and developed a healthy respect for my period.  So...that doesn't always work.

This is the plotline of the movie as far as I can tell:

A young witch boy already working for albino Satan uses his BAWBAWWWWWW spell to summon the whaaambulance the souls of random children in the area while they sleep. Once they are summoned there, the boy reveals his true form as a demon or something and presents them to Satan, who pervs over a little girl before brainwashing them all into becoming witches themselves. The boy instructs to steal things from people so that they can call them to their demon realm and torment them in their sleep. Then he gives them all witchcraft powers such as "bad company," "lack of interest in school," and "power of destruction." (One of these things is not like the others.) Then they all teleport to some guy's room and eat uncooked sausage lasagna off his back while he sleeps. (I think this is their low-budget way of portraying his guts.) It turns out it was a nightmare and he screams when he wakes up.

Basically the whole movie consists of child witches bringing people's souls to the demon world to torment them or something. At one point there's a scene where a woman is raped by another woman somehow, and I think it's implied that it actually happened because of the blood that appears on the sheets when she wakes up.

The only scene that doesn't make sense to me is the one with the man randomly panicking and backing up into his couch. I'm guessing he just saw Two Girls One Cup, but that's purely speculation.

"He killed him by shoving him onto grass? Seriously?"

It's Nigeria. The grass is probably made of fucking cobra venom or something.

RoundUpReady; genemod whose main purpose is to sell seedcrops and RoundUp weed killer (the genemod crops won't die along with the weeds when you spray RoundUp = "RoundUp Ready")

....and generate more sales via lawsuits if Monsanto field monitors find that any of their patented crop genes have infiltrated your fields of natural, or at least non-Monsanto, corn, soybeans, wheat, w/e.

Basically, Monsanto are the earliest of big profiteers off of patentable agri genemods, and have some very snarky shiity business practice issues when it comes to ethics and simple decency. Farmers have tried to countersue Monsanto, saying "get your shit modded genes outa my crops!", but they lose to the slick corporate lawyers every time.

There are pink guns. It seems like when companies market guns to women they all get this idea "girls like pink stuff! Me make pink gun, girls will buy pink gun!" or something like that. I read a review by a woman about a colt1911 copy that had been marketed as a ccw pistol for women (with pink decorations) and the reviewer concluded that:
a) The gun was physically a bit too big for the average woman with small hands
b) The caliber had a bit too much of a kick for a weaker user
c) She would rather have the black version of the same gun.

Power tools I can understand, if you like pink, but I don't understand why anyone would want a pink gun.

If you are in a situation where you need a gun, you want the other person to take you seriously as a threat, and having a pink gun doesn't exactly help with that.

Obscure factoid - there is a new fad amongst welders and construction workers in general to apply pink or flowery vinyl skins to their welding masks and tool bodies to discourage "borrowing" and "disappearing" of their tools. They even beg stickers from their little daughters (MLP, Rainbow Brite, Hello Kitty).

It's a big fun joke, and it works; the fuckin' idiots who would pilfer a tool are too stupid and insecure in their manhood to steal "girly"/"faggot" tools. Plus, the colors and patterns make it easier to locate a tool visually in a messy job site or work shop than even safety orange or yellow or lime green :)

Plus all that pinky, sparkly, frou frou stuff is pretty. I may be a Feminist who believes in bucking & blurring gender roles & such but I confess, I'm a sucker for pinky-winky-girlie-color/decor schemes. I love pinks; Pink, Hot Pink, Flourescent Pink, Purplely-Pink, etc. Pinks & Purples are my thing...and RAINBOWS...lots of rainbows! I love the juxtaposition of pinkness, girliness, and strong liberation! Who said "Feminine" had to mean "Weak"?
I'm a sex-positive feminist who loves to re-claim stereotypically girly things and making them symbols of liberation & power! Nothing is cooler, IMHO, than a beautiful, voluptuous, cosmetics-wearing, long-tressed ACTION GIRL who can solve complex math equations, solve riddles, debate successfully, lead multitudes, be a head-of-state, go chop-sockey on the bad guys & have TONS of red-hot sex!

I like pink sparkly stuff, too.

And to be honest, I think there's a lot more guys out there that like the color pink (or even have it as a favorite color) than they'd care to admit, since pink is associated with women and so if any man likes pink he must be gay. (and while that is the line of logic that's followed, now that I read it, that's some fucking moon logic right there.)

Of course, gay men themselves tend to be a bit more open about the fact that they like pink because pink is associated with homosexuality through said moon logic.

Then again I've found pink shirts (no labeling) in the men's section before and even bought one, so who knows anymore?  Regardless, I know that this whole idea of pink being a woman's color actually had a small fad challenging it -- the "real men wear pink" fad.  It didn't go anywhere, but my first encounter with it was, hilariously, the fundamentalist church I used to go to.  No one actually seemed bothered.

If I had to guess...

Homosexual Boy Scout Leader (because as well all know, all gays are transvestites and all transvestites are gay) because the ACLU is pushing for homosexuals to be able to join boy scouts (we're talking about the kids here, not the leaders necessarily.  Besides, the ban on gays hasn't stopped Boy Scouts from having just as many pedophiles as the Catholic Church, complete with as much sheltering) and an evolutionist (because all evolutionists are atheists suddenly.  Also, the tired old myth of "evolutionists believe we evolved from monkeys, so they're saying that we're all just monkeys!") joining the Salvation Army, because the ALCU wants the Salvation Army to be more religiously neutral as opposed to Christocentric.

In case anyone was wondering.

Probably because whoever wrote that cartoon believes that the ACLU isn't protecting people's rights, but campaigning for "special rights" for gays and evolutionists, while also campaigning to take away rights from Good ChristiansTM.

Actually, he is referring to the democrats in 1861 so the claim isn't completely bullshit:
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Did_democrats_support_slavery
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Democrats

While the democrats in northern US supported Lincoln and the abolition the Southern democrats were pro-slavery and supported secession. Then again south was the main powerbase of the democrat party at the time.

Things have changed in the years since, but since the comic claims that democrats in 1861 were pro-slavery it is reasonably accurate.

Wether or not the support for universal healthcare is based on "I want to live on other people's expense" is entirely different matter.

Yeah, the cartoon (from a Rome, Georgia paper, I believe, though there are other cities called Rome around the south) should rightly self combust, it is so stoooopid.

The "true racism" meme is a neocon concept that Liberals defend welfare and food stamps and affirmative action and teaching ebonics at schools and subsidized school lunch programs and fuckin' R.I.F. because all liberals are in fact racists who think black people are incapable of thinking and feeding and caring for themselves and their children.
(I have a huge brain ache from writing all that down - ouch!)

added later: Note that the famous Rockwell painting of a little girl being escorted into school was a cover art for The Saturday Evening Post, an extremely popular magazine in it's day. IIRC, Rockwell was nominated for a Pulitzer for that masterpiece of heartening/tear-inducing populist art.

Ruby Bridges

Ruby Bridges Hall (born Ruby Nell Bridges September 8, 1954, in Tylertown, Mississippi) moved with her parents to New Orleans, Louisiana at the age of 4. In 1960, when she was 6 years old, her parents responded to a call from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and volunteered her to participate in the integration of the New Orleans School system. She is known as the first African-American child to attend an all-white elementary school in the South. She attended William Frantz Elementary School at 3811 N Galvez St, New Orleans, LA 70117.

I thought Rockwell was depicting the Little Rock Nine, too, but his painting was about Ruby Bridges, turns out. U.S. Marshalls escorted her to and from school.

Okay, I'm feeling brave, so I'll try to ponder it out.

Layer-of-stupid number one; the True Racism (libs think blacks are helpless meme), the NFL and the Lib Media figures

represent the "politically correct" societal/gubmint movements trying to bring Rush to

"integrate" with their heinous politically correct views.

Layer-of-stupid number two; Rush is a helpless innocent being used as a pawn against his will, or is too powerless in

the face of those big scary marshals to do anything about it.

Now, if the cartoonist was trying to show how Rush thinks he is being treated, then the cartoon is hilarious.

Back in 2009 Rush Limbaugh was poised to become the owner of the St. Louis Rams, but then a series of racist quotes from Limbaugh began circulating online--shocking I know. Some of them were unfortunately fake (http://www.snopes.com/politics/quotes/limbaugh.asp) but some, for instance telling a black caller to "take that bone out of your nose and call me back", were real. Limbaugh was then denied a chance to purchase the team and, being the egomaniacal jackass that he is, whined incessantly about how he was being discriminated against by leftist Al Sharpton-types. Which brings us to the cartoon that was done by a conservative cartoonist who 1.) cannot draw for shit and 2.) was absolutely sticking up for Rush. The cartoonist being as dim as he is got his metaphors crossed and labelled the National Guard with all the things he thought hurt Limbaugh: the "liberal" media, the NFL and "true" (i.e. anti-white) racism. It's a stupid cartoon from a stupid person defending an even stupider person.

I guess that varies between regions or something. In Finland at least I have not really seen much anti-semitism. Well apart from neo-nazies but that comes with the rest of their baggage. Suspicion for gypsies/roma is way more common.

We just don't have a history of anti-semitism in Finland, I don't think we have ever had any problems with our jewish population. For the roma on the other hand there is a long history of stereotyping them as thieves and lazy scoundrels.

I was pondering if I should add this, but I do think that sometimes that stereotype is accurate. The problem is that any roma who do fit that negative stereotype used to get into news (untill it was decided that if a roma has been involved in a crime the news story must not be allowed to say that the suspect is roma. Instead they use something like "a person wearing a national costume" which is arguably worse.) and most people have anecdotal stories about the roma doing something criminal. Any law abiding, decent roma on the other hand is "below the radar" so to speak which means that the negative stereotype gets way more air time.

The problem is that any roma who do fit that negative stereotype used to get into news (untill it was decided that if a roma has been involved in a crime the news story must not be allowed to say that the suspect is roma. Instead they use something like "a person wearing a national costume" which is arguably worse.) and most people have anecdotal stories about the roma doing something criminal. Any law abiding, decent roma on the other hand is "below the radar" so to speak which means that the negative stereotype gets way more air time.

I think it's a confirmation bias for bigots when they see a Roma criminal on the news. It's true with a lot of minorities, really. There are good people and bad people in every nation, ethnic group, etc. The difference is that when the criminal is non-Roma, this isn't treated as proof that all non-Roma are criminals, but when the criminal is Roma, people's worst biases are confirmed in their minds.

It took me awhile to figure out what was removed from my post (because I don't necessarily memorize every post I make -- what a shock) but when I found out I was confused at first, until I figured it out.

I didn't know that the original spelling of the word was "gypped", for instance.

...My point is that it's annoying that a racial epithet like that has managed to enter common lingo to the point where it isn't even recognized as one anymore (imagine "nigger" being used today without any knowledge that it was a racial epithet towards black people) but at the same time, I don't like that the moderator I was arguing with, instead of taking the time to educate me on the matter, instead changed my post without informing me of what I had done wrong, and added a note at the bottom, which would make people think I had intentionally said something racist.

Good God, it's like racist-mode CWC puked something up while fucked up on oxycodone or something. Those....those really made my brain hurt. (Confessional time: I've never even seen Sonichu art I just know it's notoriously horrible and that he likes to counter-bash people who bash him -- but I'll avoid the derail).

Seriously, just ugh. Then comics one and two are basically the same goddamn comic with a bus shooped into it and incredibly minor edits. I actually had to stop for a moment and compare them they looked so similar at first glance I thought it really 'was' just a simple shop.

Regarding gypsies, I have a Finnish friend that has had personal experience with the thieving shits that live up to the criminal stereotype.  He's broken three wrists from gypsies trying to steal his wallet.  He was also once in the hospital for surgery, with a Roma family in the room next to him.  When he was leaving, just after the family did? the room was BARE.  Like stripped to the drywall kinda bare.

So... while I have respect for the Roma and the culture, I will be more than happy to bitch them out in their own tongue for being thieving cunts if I ever travel abroad to visit my friend.

Fun fact, on another forum, I got moderated for saying "jipped."

It was done completely passive-aggressively with a little note at the bottom of my post saying that my post was edited for a racial epithet.  The moderator was someone who I was arguing with on an unrelated matter (and I was being an idiot in that argument, but what else is new?).

It took me awhile to figure out what was removed from my post (because I don't necessarily memorize every post I make -- what a shock) but when I found out I was confused at first, until I figured it out.

I didn't know that the original spelling of the word was "gypped", for instance.

...My point is that it's annoying that a racial epithet like that has managed to enter common lingo to the point where it isn't even recognized as one anymore (imagine "nigger" being used today without any knowledge that it was a racial epithet towards black people) but at the same time, I don't like that the moderator I was arguing with, instead of taking the time to educate me on the matter, instead changed my post without informing me of what I had done wrong, and added a note at the bottom, which would make people think I had intentionally said something racist.

3.) "The wheelchair guy is really some solder dood who lost his legs in the war, man! They like put on fake bloody things on his stumps n stuff! FAKEY!

Nah, the tube is just bent inside the cover. The cover is clearly some novelty-gun-barrel thingy, it has NRA on the side so I guess this comic is saying that the products that NRA endorses are faulty and aren't "shooting straight."

I read this comment and think that it must be a joke. I mean there can't really be an image where those two things could get mixed up.

Then I see the comic...

Also, if you look at the "Obama" in that comic... Doesn't it look like his head and ears are shaped a bit like cock and balls.

Strangely shaped but there is as much resemblance to that as there is to Obama.

I call Poe on this one. I've heard people claim waterboarding wasn't torture, but I've never met anyone crazy enough for the "baptize with freedom" bs. Just sounds like satire to me.

I dunno.  Someone who's proud to be a conservadouche on my FB shared this.

YESH! Perfect Poe win that a conservidroid is too dense to know they just mocked themselves by posting it.

That is fascinating askold. I wonder if the shape/size of the tiny structures in your middle or inner ears happen to pick up on a harmonic frequency from the radar/radio waves produced by the microwave oven? If so, of course it would be too high a frequency to register within your hearing range, but it could be over-stimulating the audic nerve and perhaps from that, your headache begins?

I used to be able to hear a local radio station because my tooth filling and the orthodontic device I wore at the time created a receiver of sorts (the acidic nature of saliva acting as the micro electrical source in tandem with silver filling and stainless steel braces).

The radiowaves from the microwave are probably the cause, in either case it's only if I stand too close while the device is on. The problem with my... problem is that when I try to search the web to see if anyone else experiences... The results don't seem very reliable.

Yahoo answers has someone claim that medical science proven it to be possible. And that microwaves give you brain cancer if you are less than 2 meters from one.

Some "consumer safety" site says that it is impossible for a microwave to give me a headache because regulations require them to be safe and that the headache is probably from the additives in my food... So the additives in the food that I have not eaten yet give me some sort of pre-emptive headache? Time traveling additives?

Wait a minute... couldn't this be easily turned around to say that jews also have been scattered all over the world and therefore didn't need their own country either?  Certainly Jews have more power outside israel then palestinians seem to have anywhere.

Not sure since Wilders said Palestineans should move to Jordan and to start calling Jordan Palestine

That one comes from how Jordan was part of the original Palestine Mandate. In the 1920s, the British sliced off what is now Jordan and banned Jewish settlement there. There is a sentiment that that should have been the partition, with a Jewish Israel occupying modern Israel and Palestine, and an Arab Palestine occupying modern Jordan.

I think that argument might have been valid 80 years ago, but not today.

Wait a minute... couldn't this be easily turned around to say that jews also have been scattered all over the world and therefore didn't need their own country either?  Certainly Jews have more power outside israel then palestinians seem to have anywhere.

Yeah, but Jews don't have a nation anywhere. The whole point of Zionism is to create a safe haven for Jews, where no one can oppress us.

Of course, I'd say the same thing applies to the Palestinians now. Frankly, what SHOULD happen is that the land for the Palestinian state should be seized from the Arab nations that refused to let their refugees assimilate.

Re: microwaves:

I'm sure they can be dangerous but I doubt they could hurt anyone in the quantities you find in a household model. My parents had the same microwave since before I was born (they got rid of it shortly before I moved away a few years ago) that was so worn out that every time it was used it LEAKED RADIATION INTO THE HOUSE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO CUT OFF EVERY WIRELESS SIGNAL IN IT. Wi-fi, radios, cell phones, cordless phones, even walkie-talkies. If that microwave was going, you couldn't use a single one of those on the ground floor if not the entire house. Sometimes you could in the concrete-lined basement, but for the most part the microwave killed all the wireless signals. I lived with that microwave for twenty years and, as you can probably tell, I am not dead and also I'm pretty sure I don't have cancer or extra eyes or limbs.

I still can't imagine it was especially healthy, though. Just sayin'.

It probably helps that generally a household microwave probably doesn't get used more than 10 minutes a day, and that's on a day of heavier use. Now, microwaves coming from an industrial machine used for something other than heating a TV dinner is more likely to be dangerous if not used carefully.

*Blecch* I'm now blind from all the stupid.

At least the topless feminist is drawn somewhat attractive. Instead of the usual "Angry Ugly Hulk Man-Woman-Creature With Fuzzy Underarms" it's "Angry Pretty Lady With Cute Boobs With Fuzzy Underarms".

Methinks "A Wyatt Mann" finds her secretly hot. These weirdos often "doth protesteth too much".

However, he has inadvertently bestowed upon us this beautiful bit of funny: ATTACK OF THE ATOMIC FLAMETHROWING VAGINA!....for which we non-bigots of FSTDTs will be forever grateful!

The other cartoonist's attempt at a "Jewish Caricature" looks more like a fat "Good-Ol-Boy-WASP" with a weird smushed nose!

I'd quite like to own Belgium based on land claims in my holy book. The Anglo-Saxons shouldn't mind, they have the rest of Europe, after all. I'm not happy to live with any of the smelly locals though. I guess the French will have to find the Belgians somewhere to live.

While I personally believe in the whole "Chosen People" deal, I do accept that that carries no real weight with anyone else. I consider the State of Israel's legitimacy to stem from the will of its people, just like every other nation... including Palestine.

There are two grounds for establishing land ownership:
Personal. If this sort of ownership were accepted, a Jewish state could not exist in Palestine. There'd be an unrestricted right of return (because Palestinians own the land they lived on when ethnically cleansed, as individuals).
Collective. If this sort of ownership were accepted, a Jewish state could not exist in Palestine. A religious claim made by Germans and Poles to own land in Arabia is obviously silly.

Israel exists on the sufferance of the international community. It has no rights, just privileges granted because we're nice (and I think that's fair enough). Maybe the people who actually do have rights could exercise them?

Technically, they did.  Palestine was a British colony.  Besides, the original plan allowed Palestine to continue existing.  It's just that they declared war the SAME DAY that Israel was created.  While I do believe the Palestinians should have their own country, they shouldn't be able to deprive the Jews of Israel.

Short answer: No, yes but harmless at the concentrations used, no, too vague, yes but harmless, not anymore (mostly) and harmless anyway, tiny amounts and harmless, no.

Long version:

Chicken embryos: used  as a culture medium, not an ingredient.

Embalming fluid: some vaccines do contain trace amounts of formaldehyde, it's used in the manufacture process to inactivate bacterial toxins so you don't get sick from them (and to prevent contamination). Evil, isn't it?

Spermicide: Some vaccines contain octoxynol-10, but the only sources claiming it's a spermicide are anti-vaxxers. Presumably confusing it with octoxynol-9. Not that injecting people with spermicide on a few occasions in their life will accomplish any sort of eugenistic population reduction, because, y'know, we can make more of it. Every day.

Cancer-causing agents: A claim so broad as to be meaningless. As the Daily Mail has taught us (http://dailymailoncology.tumblr.com/), roughly 50% of everything has been at some point accused of causing cancer.

Gelatin from butchered animals: I'm pretty sure all gelatin comes from animals. Does butchering them somehow add particulates of evil to it? Or is the gelatin itself you object to, in which case do you also oppose yoghurt, jello and ice-cream?

Mercury: Most vaccines no longer contain thiomersal, but anyway there's no evidence it has any negative effects.

Antibiotics: ...so you're a fan of bacterial infections? Some vaccines contain tiny amounts of anitbiotics, used in their manufacture for purposes similar to formaldehyde.

Anti-freeze: Polyethylene glycol (which some vaccines have) is not the same thing as ethylene glycol, AKA anti-freeze (which no vaccines have).


The worst part? These people like to show off how they do their research before putting evil life-saving chemicals in their kids' bodies, but it took my like half a minute of googling to find out why each of these "poisons" is harmless and there for a good reason, or not there at all.

While were at it, I have a question.  Is there even such a thing as a mom having to pay child support if she abandons her kid, leaving the dad to be a single parent?  Probably not, I would assume.

Also, that "evil Jew" caricature would make a great avvy, and I'd consider making it my new avvy if this Phil Collins one wasn't so fresh.

Actually, yes. If the father has primary custody, the mother can be ordered to pay child support.

Exactly, my grandmother never asked for child support from my mother's father, and cut all ties with the guy(probably because she was fooling around with his brother, yup, that's how messed up my family is).

It says 'Steve Greenberg' at the top left corner, but I don't think that's the guy's name. I can't think of his name but I recognize the caricature of the Jewish guy.

Greenberg made the original, unedited cartoon, which was actually pro-gay marriage.  See it here (http://media.cagle.com/98/2011/06/28/94832_600.jpg).  It was just shopped by an asshole.

This is horribly ethnicist. On the upside, at least Obama isn't depicted the same way as "Black Stereotype Guy". In facts, he's the stern, responsible, "voice-of-reason" demanding that the other guy be a responsible father. Not sure about "anti-Obama" but it's certainly "anti-black-Joe Q. American". Still stupid, though.


So, all this guy does is photoshop existing cartoons? What a lazy piece of shit!

To make matters worse, he's shopping a PROGRESSIVE cartoonist's cartoon & not bother to blot out said cartoonist's name.
Therefore, we have a lazy plagiarist who messes with a Progressive cartoonist's stuff while making it look like the Progressive cartoonist made it, thereby smearing him.

It's a common insult towards blacks from other blacks.  The connotation is that Obama is letting himself be controlled by rich white guys.  "White Man's Burden" is being used sarcastically here, saying that the wars were white men's wars, and that he's continuing them for his white masters.

See, I understand why that is racist. Calling a black man "boy" has all sorts of implications for the rights they should be allowed and the dignity they are entitled to and so on.

It isn't racist to use a caricatured stereotype. That's pretty much all cartooning. If you have an Engishman, he's drinking tea or he has a big hat. If you have an Australian, he's wearing the stupid cork-hat thing. That's not racist. It's racist when you're creating a stereotype that has some implication for how those people should be treated. Black people are obsessed with watermelon because they totally can't control their urges.

That's what calling a black man "boy" does. The cartoon in question- I don't think it's doing that. Sure, it's saying that Obama is basically no different to a white president, serving the interests of the powerful (who are all white) to the detriment of his own ethnic group. Like some slaves on a plantation used to. You might say that's wrong, but I don't see how it's racist.

Calling Obama an Uncle Tom, of course, is race-baiting. Is it racist? Perhaps not by itself, but as commentary goes it is certainly unhelpful, uninsightful, and really rather annoying.

Ironbite, you've got a bad habit of flaming Fred outside of Flame and Burn, and while I've been giving people unofficial warnings to knock it off before, you should know better by now.  So, I have to give you an official warning for this now.  Knock it off or it'll get worse.  There's a perfectly good subforum to unleash all hell, so go do it there.

On the other hand...

/mod-horns relaxed


Fred, you share some blame in this, too, for your own behavior, not to mention snipe-backs are just as bad.  You have an increasingly bad habit of rejecting any arguments that disagree with your own notions, and you act like an arrogant jack-ass while you're doing so.  You often complain that people don't address your arguments when they are, in fact, addressing your arguments.  And when someone explains something about American culture to you, you choose to reject it as you have done in this thread.  If I were an armchair psychologist I'd say that you have a superiority complex.

Basically, you're walking flame-bait.  What's saving you from an official warning is that I don't think you're stupid enough to do it intentionally.  That being said, I'm not going to soften my blows.  You want people to stop flaming you?  Stop pissing people off.  Start using honest arguments.  Stop being antagonistic.  If you can't be respectful to your opponents when arguing, get out of the argument.

Of course, in Flame and Burn you're allowed to be more antagonistic, but then people have the right to take out their frustration on you, too, so there you go.

This is probably ill-advised, but I do feel the need to defend myself here. I've been accused of dishonesty (something I'm always smashed for accusing). I've also been accused of arrogance, deliberately or unintentionally baiting flaming and worse. This is, I think, blatantly unfair. You're mistaking disagreement for arrogance.

If you go back and look, I didn't 'reject' any argument. I made a very long post disputing someone else's argument. Debate. I disagreed and made an argument supporting that disagreement. If that's arrogant, okay, I'm arrogant. But I didn't 'reject' anything.

I would actually describe your insistence that I know nothing about American culture as arrogant.

I disagree with this. It doesn't introduce an emphasis on race at all. Obama's election was widely (and rightly) seen as a watershed moment, the first black man as President would understand the problems facing the African-American community and do something about it. This cartoon is saying that he did not. He continued to serve the interests of the (white) American aristocracy, like an Uncle Tom character (hence the accent).

I don't think that's racist. I think it's wrong, but I don't think using a slavery analogy is racist.

In retrospect, I should've given it a disco-theme. He's sparkly & looks like a nerdy disco fan (who also likes weird exploitation-stuff). Maybe I'll redo it & dub him "DISCO DORK". Shoulda added tape to his glasses.

Since there are folks with idiot worldviews who like to photoshop their idiocy onto (mostly) non-idiot political cartoons, I'd thought that it might be fun to do the same to them. I'll take these fundy/bigot-toons & change them into something Progressive or apolitical. I'll post them here. Waddaya say, guys? I'll even change the cartoonist names into something spoofy (I should have changed 'A Wyatt Mann', here, to 'A Wrayatt Gurl' or something).

This is probably ill-advised, but I do feel the need to defend myself here. I've been accused of dishonesty (something I'm always smashed for accusing). I've also been accused of arrogance, deliberately or unintentionally baiting flaming and worse. This is, I think, blatantly unfair. You're mistaking disagreement for arrogance.

If you go back and look, I didn't 'reject' any argument. I made a very long post disputing someone else's argument. Debate. I disagreed and made an argument supporting that disagreement. If that's arrogant, okay, I'm arrogant. But I didn't 'reject' anything.

I would actually describe your insistence that I know nothing about American culture as arrogant.
I wasn't originally going to make a big deal of it. But given that Fred responded, I have to say that I agree unqualifiedly with he has written here.

I swear, if this Liberal Logic thing isn't a parody, the world is doomed. I think the worst is when they accuse liberals of being to unconcerned about civil liberties because of airport security patdowns, something started under Bush when conservatives were saying that disagreeing with things like excessive security measures meant you were a traitor. The Hard Right are masters of hypocrisy and projection.

The idea that a person has to choose whether they like things produced by a scientists working for a privately-owned bureaucracy or the same scientists working for a publicly-owned bureaucracy is literally juvenile. School children can see through that nonsense. And yet it is these sub-children that largely decide which direction public policy will take (the educated are largely dismissed).

In many ways, conservatives are the sheep in Animal Farm. Their leaders have instructed them that two legs bad; private enterprise good. Ignorant, vicious dupes deliberately misusing the vast opportunities offered them.

An ear of corn with an evil tentacled skull thing? That's REALLY weird symbolism.

And don't get me started of the Jewish caricature and that whatchamacallit that's supposed to be a black man.

And the color black guy's head doesn't even match the color of his body! What gives?

And what's with the lazy tendency to use the SAME "EVIL JEW" CLIP-ART FACE?! It's annoying!

I wonder if this was a normal cartoon that was messed with by an idiot with Photoshop?

Looking closer, I think all of them are. It involves cartoons by that Ben Garrison guy. I think I'll try to find the originals. Why is this one guy singling out this cartoonist?

So, do you guys suppose that this constant vandalism is actually a stealth protest by a sane Progressive as a means to call attention to Ron Paul's silliness?

It's a shame that Garrison wastes his talent on Ron Paul silliness. From a creative/technical standpoint, he's a pretty decent & creative artist.

Are you saying "A Wyatt Mann" did the vandalism? I wouldn't be surprised. Why would a bigot mess with a fellow bigot's cartoons? Does he think the originals weren't stupid enough?

I'm also miffed that I can't find any websites on A Wyatt Mann's insanity that isn't from a "Mighty Whitey Wacko" source. I would love a site made by a normal person that critiques this stuff & provide background on the artist like Enter The Jabberwock does with Jack Chick.

By the way, you misspelled "Brony".

I was gonna say something about this earlier, but I was too speechless and laughing to hard to think of what to post.

I'd Love to have the faintest idea what he's trying to say here. Seriously, that's pretty fucking stupid, even by this standards of the person's peers. I also love how the people who have a hate-on for MLP are always so good at get the characters mostly right. I love how he managed to find the character that was vaguely closest thing he could to a Jewish stereotype, and then added all the stuff to make her a princess, and actually paid close enough detail to get the foot thing, but then manages to not add any kind of tiara.

People don't play Americas Army games because, at least from the demo I played, they suck massive ass. When the US military is footing the bill for the creation of a game you think you'd get something better.

To the creator of this comic and the other one: You know what? I'm actually immensely happy that you hate bronies. Why? Because that means I don't have to deal with you as being in the group of people as me. I don't have to be in any way associated with you. You get to miss out on what I consider a great TV show and the great community that has sprung up from it.  I'm happy that I don't even have to bother telling you to get the fuck out of my fandom. Just do me a favor asshat, stay the fuck out.

@MadCat cause I'm too lazy to quote: I know but people do play them and a lot of people don't know about them. To think a Canadian or a French company is making games to beef up America's military is even more ridiculous than the simple plan of "games are a conspiracy". Not even French stereotypes can help.

How does one not realise that any atrocity committed by the God of Judaism applies equally well, necessarily, to the God of Christianity? In the comic itself, he's admitting that Jesus did the exact same thing he's attacking his family for doing, and then pretends to have some sort of moral high ground about being a Christian.

I used to live there, 1.5 miles from downtown, safely, happily and very proud of the place, for almost 30 years? Or how about Nairobi? It's quite cosmopolitan and fun to visit. Or are Johannesburg or Cape Town good enough? Also majority black.

Aaaaaannnnd tangent time.

I was in Atlanta two years back for a eight-hour layover on my trip to England. While the plane was descending my friends and I were all looking out the windows as the city got bigger and bigger.

The entire descent, we didn't see a single human being, even when we were about twenty feet from the ground.

I'm on to your game- there are no people in Atlanta. It's all a ruse.

O stop Booker! You know it's 'cause all the citizens are Wood Elves!

You don't see anyone walking about during a flyover because Atlanta has the densest urban forest canopy of any city in North America, equivalent to Seattle WA, but wayyyyy larger. Atlanta has, also, the largest city limits - city council boundaries, to you Brits - that is Not a merged county/city (such as Miami Dade, FL) in the country.

As far as I can tell most of it was construed from the higher rates of religious affiliation among the black communities in some of the areas that voted various laws into place(or down in cali). It's a political wedge the republicans bleated for quite some time. But yeah, there's no counting out that at least one raging asshole who happens to be gay had blamed it on the black community.

Though there is also the business where people compare the current movement to the civil rights movements, when it really, really isn't. It's a movement for rights, but there was a whole lot more on the table in 'the' civil rights movement including far greater hurdles and activism. The only solid theme is a minority group pushing for what they believe to be their rights, the magnitudes are completely different. That pisses off a lot of people, on either side, either when the comparison is made or when it's smacked around.

Post by: mellenORL on May 21, 2013, 02:07:04 pm
I'm gay, and I agree - it is only somewhat corollary in details. A few, not tens of thousands, of LGBTs have been lynched here. Very, very many - but not millions - of LGBT people have been actively, systematically marginalized and disposessed of basic rights. I can't think of any very recent cases where LGBT people have been denied the vote, though it does happen to transpeople when authorities demand ID for voting, and the person is not post-op, and they can say they are in violation of very old gender dress codes and public indecency laws. Now, if one wanted to talk about LGBT people in a number of other countries, where the police will hold a victim's arms pinned while a crowd attacks them for being an abomination, that's more of a corollary to the Black civil rights movement.

Do you think there was maybe a snowball effect- once it became unacceptable to murder/assault/strip of legal rights/etc. people because of X, it became far less acceptable to do it because of Y?

Some people do love Billy

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that one of them uses V's mask as an avatar, when one of the hallmarks of the fascist government he was fighting was Holocaust-level racism and homophobia?
I can guarantee that they never read the comic then. If they had, they'd never have used V's mask.
V's Guy Fawkes mask has become a vague symbol of rebellion against 'The System', without needing to specify what aspect of what system you're rebelling against or why, and certainly without having to think if your ideals would go in direct opposition to those originally associated with the symbol.

I refer to this as the Che T-shirt effect.

Though there is also the business where people compare the current movement to the civil rights movements, when it really, really isn't. It's a movement for rights, but there was a whole lot more on the table in 'the' civil rights movement including far greater hurdles and activism.

Do you think there was maybe a snowball effect- once it became unacceptable to murder/assault/strip of legal rights/etc. people because of X, it became far less acceptable to do it because of Y? (I get the feeling that's what happened- see the Women's Suffrage movement. Women couldn't vote until after men of other races could)...
Almost certainly, and there was at least some overlap(and of course some conflict) between them. Though be careful with that as it's more or less the positive description of the slippery slope argument, some folks hop on it and ride it all the way to bestiality land. Which is actually another thing the current movement has in common with civil rights.

But aside from stonewall, which may or may not have actually been a riot depending on who you ask, the actual scale of the confrontation has been minimal. The rights being persued are far less important, and frankly the marginalization is far less. We're mostly looking at marriage rights(which yes I do agree with), where as the civil rights movement was going for so much as the right to live in the same general area as white people.

I wonder if Eric can find out if he's violating anti-plagiary law? He is leaving the original artists' names behind most of the time, but would that be enough to avoid a lawsuit or charge? I wonder because his views are so extreme and hateful, that this is kind of beyond just mocking an artists' work, it's hijacking an artists' work and dragging their good names/reputations through muck, even if it won't stick.

I shrunk it, using Photobucket. You can use Photobucket to change the pic's size.

R. Crumb, HOOBOY! I never knew what to make of him (other than weird man from an even weirder family that draws really weird & gross cartoons). Doe's he really believe the bigoted stuff he drew, is it irony or is he really a hateful bigot? I'd hear about how "counterculture" he was. However, I also read that he loathed the hippies & youth culture that read his stuff.

As horrid as it is, the comic does seem to be a regurgitation of the most cliche tropes. Perhaps this is a satire. Crumb was an atheist with a very dim view of religion & this comic is supposedly extolling "Christian Morals/Values". That's a red flag, right there. He was also pretty anti-establishment. I think this is a satire rather than genuine hate speech. I think his "Ethnicist/Sexist/Bigoted" stuff was a rather edgy Stealth Parody.

"Jesus was not a Liberal". Well, "REPUBLICAN JESUS" isn't but REAL JESUS is (mostly).

I moved my cursor over the "Elephant Butt" and learned that McNaughton is super-nuts. The GOP is too "Liberal" for him! *backs away slowly*.

He's also under the impression that Stephen Colbert is "Closet Liberal Conservative Commentator" rather than an "Obvious Liberal Who Lampoons Conservative Commentators".

Then he speaks on a couple of folks and talks about their very low ratings. Jon Stewart does NOT get low ratings, Mr. McNaughton!

He also seems to take issue with the Civil Rights crowd.

Really? The guy whose whole crime was rebelling against God (and who, at least according to some Christians, tempts humanity to do the same) is more about control than the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent creator being who:
1) Created us to have sexual urges, violent urges, selfish urges, etc.
2) Made acting on those urges a sin punishable by bad stuff for all eternity.
3) Rather than simply change the laws he made, created a son to be perfect and then suffer & die to absolve of us those sins.
4) Made that absolution contingent about a life-long recognition that just about every human feeling we have is a crime against God, that we deserve no less than what God, Jr. went though, and beg for forgiveness weekly (if not daily).

Seriously, last time I was in a church all I could hear during the sermons was "Why did you make me make you kill my son? - God"

Not to mention he created a tree with the knowledge of good and evil (though, its name varies a fair bit, methinks), and created humans, initially, without that knowledge, so they literally had no sense of conscience, let alone morality.

Yahweh was a petulant child who got pissy when his toys wouldn't bend to his arbitrary, meaningless rules.  If you're human, you're goin to hell.  Whelp, that's if you can drag our asses there first, big guy.  We can harness the power of the sun, Yahweh got beaten by a Bronze Age tribesman.

It is probably just me, but I kind of like these pictures.
Sure the creator is absolutely off his rocker, but you have to admit that the pictures do contain a certain artistic quality about them. I enjoy looking at all the figures and trying to figure out the meaning behind them especially in relation to the artists crazy beliefs.

Thus, the fundie's metaphor has blown up in his face!

Dandelions are not only yummy & nutritious but quite medicinal. Dandelion is good for detoxing the system, a clean bowel & other benefits. It can also be made into a nice wine. An Italian sausage on a bun covered in sauteed dandelion greens is very popular at Italian festivals (being a N.Y. native, I remember it being served at the annual Italian Festival in Buffalo. I never personal tasted it, though but it was popular).

Dandelions are also a great substitute for daisies & buttercups as far as "daisy-chains/rings" & "buttercup under the chin" is concerned.

Making wishes while blowing dandelion fluff.....ahhhhh, childhood.

Leave Sonic out of this.

I need not to mention how much I loathe shit like this. Not only is it some shitty cartoon promoting the denial of basic human rights (LGBT people being in love, even wanting to get married, or "unionized"), this kid happens to slap official artwork of the Sonic the Hedgehog series since Sonic Adventures 2. Do you even think Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Knuckles and Amy would even give a shit about homosexuals? Or some other groups of people, activities or things fundamentalist Christians despise of? Fucking Christ on crutches.

Also, I am reminded of other Christian Sonic fans I used to read up on the Encyclopedia Dramatica and the accounts of others on that LiveJournal community which sniffed at other shitty images on deviantART, like PilgrimJohn and DBoyWheeler (whom one of my friends submitted quotes from him on the main page of this site). What is the appeal of the Sonic the Hedgehog series to these kinds of people? Even considering a lot of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fans are also incredibly homophobic?

Do it like China, you can appeal but the sentence won't be stayed pending appeal. As horrible as this is, it is at least an honest position in support of the Death Penalty. If you believe in the Death Penalty you have to accept that innocent people will be killed by the State because there is no infallible system of justice.

Yeah, I've met one in person, and hearing some of his comments not minutes after he had told me he was also a brony made me facepalm harder than the stuff he said normally did. Thankfully the other two bronies that I went to school with were more intelligent.

That said, I am baffled when the change is the other way around. What would possess a person to switch from a worldview based on open-mindedness, freedom, changing the corrupt status quo, fighting "The Man", human equality, etc. into a worldview based on stodgy, closed-minded selfishness, bigotry, repression, hate, etc.? It blows my mind.

I think folks who go from Liberal to insanely Far-Right were just in the counterculture out of youthful rebellion rather than anything meaningful. They were Flowerkids, Punkers, etc. just to be different or "annoy old people".

As for Moe, she may have been a drummer for a proto-punk band but I'd imagine they were a bit apolitical. She wasn't particularly famous of celebrated like Keith Moon or John Bonham or even Nick Mason! I'd imagine get got into drugs, got clean then eschewed that life & worldview because of it. Some folks only go into the rebellion part rather than any high ideals.

Others are simply attention hogs looking for the next big thing.

R. Crumb, HOOBOY! I never knew what to make of him (other than weird man from an even weirder family that draws really weird & gross cartoons). Doe's he really believe the bigoted stuff he drew, is it irony or is he really a hateful bigot? I'd hear about how "counterculture" he was. However, I also read that he loathed the hippies & youth culture that read his stuff.

As horrid as it is, the comic does seem to be a regurgitation of the most cliche tropes. Perhaps this is a satire. Crumb was an atheist with a very dim view of religion & this comic is supposedly extolling "Christian Morals/Values". That's a red flag, right there. He was also pretty anti-establishment. I think this is a satire rather than genuine hate speech. I think his "Ethnicist/Sexist/Bigoted" stuff was a rather edgy Stealth Parody.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StealthParody

Sorry to come to this a bit late, but yes, it is satire.  It was in an issue of Weird Magazine, along with "When the Niggers Take Over America."  They were both over-the-top parodies of racist views.  The issue was edited by Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Crumb's Jewish wife.

Yeah, Crumb's always had a great case of "sardasm" (sardonic sarcasm) going on in his comics, which even ties in to his mild case of misanthropy. He doesn't suffer fools with any patience, and has a bitter edge to him...which I like. He's become sort of a cool grumpy ol' man.

Did Bush use wiretaps the way the comic describes him? If so then that is less "defence" and merely stating the facts. If not then this comic is lying in order to make a case (when they could have just represented the democrats hypocrisy) and are spoiling a good point by resorting to lying and hypocrisy of their own.

If not then this comic is lying in order to make a case (when they could have just represented the democrats hypocrisy) and are spoiling a good point by resorting to lying and hypocrisy of their own.
He did use taps.  However Bush also waterboarded etc

It's only a good point in that people are defending the modern day use of it (which I have yet to see personally but then this is the only liberal-leaning place I hang out at)

It's a bad point in that it is defending the former use of it.

My point is that it's a red herring.  Invasion of privacy is invasion of privacy.  What Bush did is just as bad as what's going on now, even assuming that Liberal Logic 101 is telling the truth and is not just making up yet another bit of bullshit to make Republicans seem well-reasoned and democrats seem fucktarded.  And when the Democrats called them out, they were ignored by the Republicans.  And now that the Republicans are whining, I'm just sitting back and enjoying the sweet, sweet wine of the tears of hypocritical morons.

though they have to lie to make it.

Bush was sweeping everyone up the same as obama.

He just said he was only targeting al queda operatives and only over seas calls.  But that ended up being not quite true.  In fact Bush got caught in a number of lies about who's information was being gathered and when and where.

And unlike Obama, didnt' even have the cover of the law yet.  I mean does not remember the telecoms got retroactive immunity?  What do people think they were being giving immunity for?

Ya know, the whole concept of legal immunity confounds me to no end.  Except in very, very specific circumstances, it just seems like it gives people an excuse to break the law for the fuck of it.  Diplomatic immunity?  Worst fucking idea ever.  If you're going to work with other countries, you'd damn well better know and abide by their laws.  Sure, provide for their defense, but if you run down a nun in the streets of downtown America, then it shouldn't matter if you're a millionaire oil tycoon, a dumbass kid, a regular dick, or a foreign diplomat: you go to fucking prison for breaking the fucking law.

I too have some issues with the concept of diplomatic immunity, but there are reasons for it. The main reason is to prevent countries from using their own laws to attack foreign diplomats. Imagine if China could exert pressure on the US by arresting US diplomats on trumped-up charges. And in cases where a diplomat commits a serious crime unrelated to his work, his country will generally waive immunity.

I'm going to play Devil's Advocate and say that I don't think they're referring to the recent gun control push as such but were, instead, referring to an interview Feinstein gave on 60 Minutes back in 1995 where she said:

Quote
"If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them . . . Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in, I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren't here."

That said, I still find these sorts of posters silly.

It's an article of faith.

Just like christian fundies say jesus is the answer.  What's the question?  Doesn't matter.  Jesus is the ANSWER!!!!

Like wise it's an article of faith by many among those opposed to gun control  that any attempt at curbing gun violence that isn't "MORE GUNS!" is gun confiscation.  The logic is inconsequential.  The facts are inconsequential.  IF it's gun control it must be about black booted thugs kicking down your door to take your guns.  It's an assumed part of any gun control debate for them.  Deny it and you must be either a fool or a lier, which means you can be safely ignored.

It also helps that they already have talking points against total confiscation.  So the straw man helps them ignore what anybody else is actually saying.

People rarely do ANYTHING in the name of atheism. And the only one's I've heard of advocating death (where their motivation was their atheism and they specifically wanted to kill everyone religious) have been on FSTDT. Mostly mainpage.

Seriously, as far as I'm aware of, Stalin was mainly concerned about himself and gaining more power. If he did do something for a cause other than himself it was for communism or Soviet union.

Because it takes away their incentive to work by giving them free money for being unemployed. Or underemployed, as the case may be. In a sense, the latter is hard to argue with, as you lose access to such programs the moment you work more than 20hrs in a week. When you're essentially earning, and relying on, two separate sources of income by staying below the 20hr/wk level, the incentive to do more does, in a sense, disappear, as it will cost you dearly if the additional work hours don't compensate for the welfare you were bringing in beforehand. As someone who's job routinely has me straddling the line of qualifying for aid, I can tell you that this is incredibly irritating.

That's the beauty of it. Someone who has a hate boner for women and homosexuals being in the military will concider this to be bad... Because it shows a woman and gay men in the military.

But if you really look at the comic, you'll notice that...

Well the first thing I noticed was that the woman is left handed, but that's just me. But looking at the picture it just shows soldiers on patrol and there appears to be nothing negative about the fact that they aren't all heterosexual men.

Ok probably seen this or something like it before.

What's interesting to me is this was posted by my friend who is a Black conservative.

I have had to deal with bigotry for being gay.
I had to deal with bigotry for being Pagan.
I have even had to deal with for being way liberal.

But never have I felt bigotry against me  for being a white guy.

According to my friend it's because I'm too liberal to see it.

Ironically enough, it would be very improbable for a native speaker of Spanish to make that mistake, because the way we pronounce "José" does not rhyme with "O say". It's a mispronunciation common to native English speakers to add an [ɪ] sound at the end.

But there I go, expecting someone who would make this sort of cartoon to care the slightest iota about how a Spanish name is pronounced.

Not just censoring, but hypocrisy. There are certain artists 100% banned from being carried at Wal-Mart. However, all Wal-Marts were found carrying one of their CDs. When asked, Wal-Mart said it was commercially viable (debuted at #1 on Billboard) so they were carrying that one.

Also notable contrast between Yoga and Tebowing: One was a judge ruling a physical activity as being capable of secular use, one was a school potentially overstepping its constitutional bounds. The latter will quite possibly be reversed by a judge just like the yoga one, due to the fact that it may well count as a personal expression of the student's religious beliefs that is not not necessarily carrying the endorsement of the school.

I'll admit, the microwave ovens are a new one.  :P

Not really. It never grew to the proportions that anti-vaccers and cell-phone paranoiacs have, but there's always been a small, dedicated amount of people claiming that microwaves embedded food with dangerous levels of radiation.
Which has as even less facts and science behind it as the anti-vaccination claims, if such thing is possible.

In an unrelated note, microwaves give me a headache. Really, if I stand too close to a microwave that is on it gives me physical pain, this has been true ever since my family got our first microwave. (Although I think it was worse back when I was a kid.)

That is fascinating askold. I wonder if the shape/size of the tiny structures in your middle or inner ears happen to pick up on a harmonic frequency from the radar/radio waves produced by the microwave oven? If so, of course it would be too high a frequency to register within your hearing range, but it could be over-stimulating the audic nerve and perhaps from that, your headache begins?

I used to be able to hear a local radio station because my tooth filling and the orthodontic device I wore at the time created a receiver of sorts (the acidic nature of saliva acting as the micro electrical source in tandem with silver filling and stainless steel braces).
Old post, I know, but I really want to know what the radio station was playing.

You can understand WHY a lot of radical positions exist--radical feminists who hate men, radical minority-rights groups who hate white people, and there must be people outside the Tumblr community who are gay or trans and sincerely hate straight and cis people--because of histories of violence against the supported group by the target of hate. But that doesn't justify the hate of ALL THESE PEOPLE who never did anything.

The simple fact is, you can't fight hate with hate.

Is there a movement for gays to hate straights? Besides on Tumblr. Like genuine "God I hate those breeders".

There are radscums who call themselves "political lesbians" or "lesbian separatists." I have seen these people say that any woman who claims to be straight or bi is actually brainwashed by the patriarchy and needs to be converted to lesbianism. This is much less hot in practice than in theory, and mostly involves lots of angry yelling, science fails, and bizarre worship of menstrual blood. Oh, and lesbians need to set up their own state where they can be free from the inherently sexist and man-made construction of penis-in-vagina sex.

Sounds a lot like Rockbitch.
Again with old quoting, but I've got to step in and bring this up. The women of Rockbitch were bisexuals, and NeoPagans. In fact, they invited an entire audience for an orgy after, iirc, a show got canceled. In the end, only one person showed up, a guy. They all had their fun. Additionally, they'd place a strap-on on the head of a guy every show and have fun with it, if you know what I mean. Plus, one member of the band was a fat dude. So, nope.

Racist, and to be fair, those things could conceal an arsenal. Hell, I'm surprised a fundie hasn't done it.

If you were ever born, in history, your parents chose not to have an abortion. After 1973 they couldn't be prosecuted for it, and your mother was likely to die as a result.

If that is how broad and loose the anti-choice meme maker is defining it, one should point that out and post a counter-meme, "If you are reading this, you are a lightning strike survivor"...volcanic eruption survivor, asteroid strike survivor, tsunami survivor, ad infinitum. Really, we here are all brain cell death survivors, after being exposed to these samples of toxic idiocy. Seriously, what's up with the carving knife image? Fuck...just lost another brain cell!

Since when do they indoctrinate kids with socialism and marxism in public schools? Oh right, fundie.  Nevermind.

And it's not indoctrinating someone into evolution if you're just teaching it as the fact that it is.

I had to laugh at the second panel too, because that's a BIG difference from what fundies ACTUALLY do with the bible.

I know it's a tad Godwin, but I'm not comparing it to the Nazis. I use this picture to jar people out of the "It's tradition" mindset to make it easier to point out how creepy it is for children, starting at the age of five, to simultaneously say the same loyalty oath, all in the same position, to a flag at the same time every morning, in an institution of learning, which should price free thought and not blind loyalty. They have no idea what they're saying. They're just mindlessly repeating a phrase that's being fed to them until they've absorbed it to their core. And that is fucking terrifying.

Thanks. As for the first one, wow. That's just stupid. The second, one is insulting a group of people for how they were born. The other is insulting a group of people for how they were born. We flip out at both. As for the third, I was homeschooled for a few years, not because of religion (my parents are NeoPagans, I'm an atheist), but because the school I went too was ran by psychopaths and almost everyone in the school had been bullying me for years for being the smart kid. So, double fuck you, fundies, for both making shit up and for trying to blanket all homeschoolers under your banner. And, add another to that for trying to use us as propaganda.

But the problem IS global warming. The globe is being warmed. Just because this causes local snowfall--which is not even the same as getting colder--& isn't as simple as "the only change is that things are getting warmer," it doesn't mean that it's invalid. Even if we called it climate change, we'd still have to address that it's caused by a global increase in temperatures.

Yes, that is completely true. The thing is, it's all about branding. If you can get people to accept the climate is changing, and they can do things to save themselves from it, you've succeeded. The people who say what you just said are not the target audience of a rebranding. The target audience is the people who don't understand that. We need to bypass that issue.

He has also drawn himself in old timey clothes that go with the hat. I think it's just artistic license, he drew himself dressed in clothes that represent his beliefs, much like everything in the office does.

It's not even the fedora itself that necessarily screams "MRA fundie". The fedora is generally the common element, but in photos, there's also a pretentious combination of clothing style, facial expression, head tilt, and/or props that transform it from a mere hat into The Fedora.

For example, this is just a guy who happens to be wearing a fedora:

2, 10, and 12 made some good points, if I read them right.

- 2 is saying that France is turning its back on the principles of a free society by banning the public expression of personal religious affiliation, chiefly headscarves. And I agree with that - you can't consider yourself a society with freedom of religion or expression while at the same time banning religious garments from public life.

- 10 is setting up a false dichotomy, to be sure, but does make something of a point on most people's priorities.

- 12 is pretty much spot on.

If it's protesting security cameras on private property, it's "worst". If it's drawing a comparison to the Trayvon Martin case (young person in a hoodie with snackfood), it's still "worst" for shitty composition but gets points for trying.

It would really depend on when the image was? If it was just before the bombing and the petrol station was far away...but there doesn't seem to be a time stamp on the photo so you could say either way.
Well, it seems to be night in the photo and the bombing took place during the day.
Where are all these government types forcing people to pay their taxes via gunpoint?
The "at gunpoint" tends to be meant more figuratively than literally. What they're driving at is that the government will arrest you and throw your ass in jail for the crime of not giving them your money (how they look at it, at least). I'm personally not sure how I feel about throwing people in prison for tax evasion...on the one hand, they tend to be assholes about it and not paying your taxes is really not cool. On the other hand, I don't think locking Wesley Snipes up for two years in a medium security prison on top of ordering him to pay 17 million dollars really accomplished anything.

True, but I doubt he was rehabilitated by his years in prison nor do I think he was a danger to the community. Sending him to do time (and "Shakespeare Behind Bars" leads me to believe that medium security would put him around murderers and rapist, albeit well behaved ones) was purely punitive. Not the biggest fan of that concept within the law.

As long as you hit someone from behind, or while they are asleep, or blindfolded, it is not assault.

Assault is when someone is afraid of immediate touching. Battery is when they are actually touched. So if someone does not know they are about to be touched, it isn't assault. (It's still battery when you hit them, but no assault since they could not know about the impending touching.)

It might be in relation to this:

It's probably in reference to it being illegal to sell unpasteurized (raw) cow's milk. The reason it's illegal is raw cow's milk can spread some nasty diseases to humans. Tuberculosis and brucellosis, for example.

Zimmerman's ex once filed a restraining order against him in 2005 for domestic violence. That same year he was arrested for assaulting a police officer. He was also accused of molestation.

The medical examiner who examined Zimmerman disputed his claim that Martian slammed his head into the pavement. They even went so far as to state that Zimmerman's injuries were "very insignificant.”

I wonder if my Mom fed me a line of bull to stop me from having a tantrum over the verdict?

Now, keep in mind, my Mom is not Teabag material & for the most part, pretty sane.

I learned about the verdict & was about to blow a gasket & expressed my misgivings to her.

I confess that I haven't been closely following the case. When Mom talked to me, she talked as if she was following it on Court TV regularly. She stated that the media blew it out of proportion and that (her words, not mine) Martin was actually much taller than Zimmerman, Zimmerman insisted on following Martin because he never saw the kid before & there was a string of robberies in the area, during the scuffle Martin bashed Zimmerman's head on a rock & left a gruesome wound (which mom claimed she saw the photo & it was gross but I later looked it up and only saw that unremarkable surveillance pic) & that the shooting was a split-second self-defense thing. She then gave me a lecture on how the media tends to manipulate stuff & one must see all sides of the story (this last part is the only part that's generally kosher).

Now, I wonder if my Mom just fed me a big pile of steaming manure to shut me up so I wouldn't have an episode.

Am I a fool?

Can you guys refute each of these points so I can tell her the truth? I don't know what sites to look for that are objective & refute each point.

Stating just the facts here, based on what I've read. Please correct me if I have anything wrong.

She stated that the media blew it out of proportion and that (her words, not mine) Martin was actually much taller than Zimmerman,

Zimmerman is around 5'7" and weighed roughly 185 at the time of the incident, while Trayvon was 5'11" and 158lbs. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Trayvon_Martin#Parties_involved)

Quote
Zimmerman insisted on following Martin because he never saw the kid before & there was a string of robberies in the area,


Those are the reasons he gave, yes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Trayvon_Martin#Shooting_and_investigation

Quote
during the scuffle Martin bashed Zimmerman's head on a rock & left a gruesome wound (which mom claimed she saw the photo & it was gross but I later looked it up and only saw that unremarkable surveillance pic)

Based on witness accounts and photos entered into evidence, it appears that Martin initially started running away until Zimmerman lost sight of him. At some point after Zimmerman's 911 call ended, Trayvon jumped on top of Zimmerman, threw at least one punch, and knocked Zimmerman's head on the concrete. You can see an image of Zimmerman's injuries here: http://www.amnation.com/vfr/Zimmerman%27s%20head%20wounds.jpg and here: http://a57.foxnews.com/global.fncstatic.com/static/managed/img/U.S./0/0/zimmerman_wounds2.jpg (some blood and cuts, but not especially gory). The specifics of everything that happened during the physical confrontation (whether or not Trayvon went for the gun, how many punches he threw, etc.) are in dispute.

Quote
& that the shooting was a split-second self-defense thing.

It's impossible to say what was going on in Zimmerman's head at the time of the shooting.

Other relevant facts:

- Trayvon was on the phone with a friend while being followed, and mentioned it during the conversation. Most of the facts indicate that he likely believed that Zimmerman might be a threat.
- Zimmerman was indirectly told not to follow Trayvon once he started running. He left his vehicle in spite of this, but claims that it was to find a street sign to give his location to the police.
- The trial was focused largely on whether or not Zimmerman believed that his life was in danger during the physical confrontation.

I'm unsure of Florida's laws regarding manslaughter, so I can't say whether or not Zimmerman's actions leading up to the physical confrontation would be relevant to the trial. From a moral perspective, however (and this is where we depart from fact and hit the realm of opinion), I'd say that he should have been convicted of manslaughter for behaving irresponsibly, leading to a death, and spent at least some time in prison for it.

I don't understand how someone could be against abortion and condoms/emergency contraceptives at the same time.

Because the whole point of this anti-abortion jazz is not really "saving the unborn" it's about punishing those of the feminine persuasion for having a sex life. The "save the unborn" stuff is just double-speak....like "family values" is a code for "gays are icky".

Hence, being "pro-life" and still supporting war, the death penalty, unfettered guns, pollution, banning Social Services, etc.

My mom agrees he should have gotten prison time for manslaughter. The problem is that the prosecutors were pushing for Second-Degree Murder. I think the reason for the acquittals of Zimmerman & Casey Anthony were due to this technicality. If prosecutors pushed for something less severe, both Casey & George would face prison-time. A court can only work with the charges raised and because of double-jeopardy laws, you can't "try again" with charging Zimmerman with manslaughter.

Like the rest of you, I have no doubt that the whole thing is a tragedy & the verdict was awful. I feel for Trayvon's parents & I hope and pray Trayvon's soul is at peace. I do feel that George was a douche for starting it. He should have stayed in the car. A Neighborhood Watch is supposed to be that...WATCHING...but George decided to be "Mr. Bigshot Vigilante Man Cuz He's A Macho Idiot With An Action-Hero Complex". You're supposed to just observe then call 911 if you find something suspicious....then let the authorities do their job if they feel there's a cause to do so.

There's plenty of shades of grey and neither side are total innocents but George should've kept his big butt in the car! The prosecutors should have pushed for manslaughter.

Anyway, not all hope is lost. The family can always open a wrongful death suit & public opinion is against George Zimmerman, anyway.

Both George Zimmerman & Casey Anthony are going to be paranoid & look over their shoulders for life. I'd say that's a hellish prison in itself.

To be fair to Ted Rall (and I hate to be fair to Ted Rall), he's talking about the fact that sodomy and adultery are both against the UCMJ.  In reality, sodomy is almost never enforced (except in the case of bestiality, or when it's in relation to other offenses, like rape or statutory rape), but it's technically against the law to get a blowjob if you're in the military.

I now know that the cartoonist's name is AF Branco. That last cartoon posted from him about Colin Powell truly exemplifies the Tea Party movement in that it's an extreme right-wing group motivated largely by ignorance, fear, and a complete disconnection from reality. Only a wingnut could actually think that Obama has been a wimp in foreign policy. I don't have to be a liberal to know that Obama has been almost neoconservative in his foreign policy. It's one of the reasons Obama has disappointed me as President--continuing a Bush-like foreign policy. I know right-wing websites have an ignorant and credulous base to please and that facts are almost always ignored if they contradict with the narrative they're trying to run on, but could they at least try to get at least something right? I can't even find a single right-wing website that doesn't have "Obama is a radical socialist" as its main point at the moment. Did it ever occur to these right-wingers that they wouldn't be stereotyped by liberals if they didn't constantly act like stereotypes?

The pointy ears make them look more like Dobermans to me.

Rotties are awesome, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to be staring down one that was pissed off. I've got a Rottie/Coonhound cross who is the biggest suck on the planet but he is a monstrously powerful 130lbs (and still filling out) animal that will come out swinging if he is scared and feels backed into a corner which is a common trait among Rotties/Rottie crosses according to our vet. Fortunately, very, very, little phases him (being trapped in a small room and being repeatedly stabbed in the ass by said vet is one of those things apparently).

Actually those are Dobermans, but the point still stands.

Hey, hey, hey!  Fuck you!  My doberman was the nicest, happiest, most cat-protective dog I've ever seen.  Even when he was the dog equivalent of 80-90 years-old, he'd still chase off anything that'd threaten our cats while they were outside.  The only reason he died when he did, I'm sure, is because our other dog (a female black lab, basically his girlfriend) got hit under...somewhat suspect circumstances involving my father.  Go figure.  The change, there, was like night and fucking day.  One minute, you could have easily, and forgivably, mistaken him for a dog half his age with a bum leg, which he got because he was gored by a pissed off buck.  The next?  It was like he'd aged 10 years in a matter of days; didn't want to move, didn't want to play, didn't want to do much of anything.  He died from a snake bite which, had Carlie (our other dog) been alive, he likely could've fought off.  But, brokenhearted as he was, he didn't have the will to fight, and died as I was there, with him, in our dining room.

So, yeah, fuck off if you think all dobermans are vicious, evil dogs.  You're no better than my troglodyte of a grandmother with her annoying-ass terriers and other irritating, BANSHEE-LIKE SCREECHING, little yippy-dogs.  Dupre was a good dog, and he lived a hell of a lot longer than what's average for his breed; I think dobermans live, like...8-10 years, he lived around 15 or so.

Sorry...just, that's not something I'll ever forget.
Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons
Post by: Canadian Mojo on July 27, 2013, 10:09:45 am
Sounds fairly typical for any of the Dobermans I've ever met.

All of the really good guard dog breeds have a very well developed pack instinct because they need it to do their job. You want a dog who is so loving and devoted that it will protect you regardless of risk to itself rather than one that goes 'eh, fuck that guy he's on his own.'

It seems to be saying that those who write imaginary stories in which a bunch of imaginary people are killed have no right to complain about the number of real people killed by guns, because the real people body count is lower than the imaginary people body count.

Granted, this demographic has a lot of overlap with those who are anti-abortion and pro-war and pro-death penalty, so it seems that they actually do value imaginary people over real ones.

Since I'm about to graduate college, a lot of my friends have just graduated, and this sums up our reactions to that fact rather nicely.

So is this saying that the NRA killed those people?
'Cus I'm pretty sure the person openly carrying a large rifle while walking away from the crime-scene is responsible and not that unarmed Jew Hippie Liberal.

I think it's trying to say that movie violence causes real world violence.

No, that's not true.  New Hampshire could well have a lower murder rate per capita than France and this would be meaningful data, irrespective of the difference in population between New Hampshire and France.  I will grant that only looking at New Hampshire, rather than the whole of the United States, could be construed as cherry picking, but there actually is a good reason to do something like that.  Basically, it comes down to this: murder rates in inner cities are astronomical (I remember hearing that Detroit's murder rate is comparable to Somalia's), while murder rates in less urban areas are much lower, often being comparable to those of, say, Belgium or Canada.  We have reason to believe that this disparity is due to the War on Drugs (which I'll bet the writer of the original article is completely in favor of), to the point where about 50% of gun violence may stem from drug-related gang warfare.  This also shows that a culture of gun ownership does not necessarily lead to blood in the streets (though even I think that a gun-to-person ratio of .9 may be excessive).

Indeed. And we should also point out that a lot of these sources lump justifiable homicide and suspects who were shot by police while in the commission of a crime in with general homicide. And a huge portion of homicides are gang related, as well.

Just my two cents.

While possible, there are many other contributing factors that we could fix without either amending or circumventing the Constitution, like poverty, discrimination, and access to quality education.

Also, just something political that annoys the fuck outta me: people, typically non-Americans, that say we should just ignore the 2nd Amendment because it "was made by some old fuckers over 200 years ago."  Yes, let's ignore what is essentially the founding legal document of our entire nation, the one that outlines our rights and our most fundamental laws as a society.  Not to mention that the 2nd Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights, what's considered the very core of our nation's being.  Yes, just ignore it and impose draconian, no-guns-at-all legislation, because the Constitution is over 200 years-old.  That will end well.

"Draconian"? Don't you think that's a bit of an overexaggeration? That denotes an unfair, barbaric law, usually related to harsh punishment. Frankly, the whole entitlement to guns is just a weird quirk that the US developed &, if it weren't in the bill of rights, it'd probably be done away with by now. Most things in the bill of rights are considered basic human rights, the guns stand out as a weird exception, & that's probably why people want to ignore it.

The problem is, you can't just ignore the 2nd amendment without raising the possibility that you can ignore the others. But really, that's always been true, rights are an illusion, the Constitution has been reinterpreted before, & most of our laws don't actually come from it.

Nah, I understand it. People 237 years ago were, well, fucking idiots. Plus, their guns took several minutes if you wanted to fire a second shot. I have a feeling they didn't quite expect modern guns. Let's be conservative and say you could fire once per minute. That's one bullet per 60 seconds. Let's take a modern assault rifle with thirty rounds. Let's say, six seconds? That's thirty times as many bullets in a tenth of the time.

Nitpick: A skilled shooter with an 18th-century musket such as used in the Revolution could load, aim and fire three shots a minute. Still significantly slower than modern weapons, but significantly faster than what you were suggesting as the average.

Without dragging this into a gun debate, and this will likely be the last I have to say on this matter (for now, at least), I fail to see how them not being able to see how fast and far weapons technology would advance over more than two centuries has any bearing on the argument for/against gun control and the 2nd Amendment.  They couldn't have foreseen how far medicine has advanced, either, but that, like this, would have zero bearing on an argument for/against nationalized health care.

Actually, it has tons of bearing. They couldn't have known how important health care would become. It was pretty much pray and hope you don't die. There's no point in funding that. However, if they knew we'd be able to save millions with national health care, they'd likely want universal health care.

I know I said the last post was the last I'd say on this topic, but I feel the need to clarify one final thing: I'm not saying everyone should have access to guns all the time.  I support well-reasoned, well-enforced regulations on gun ownership including background checks, psychological checks, waiting periods, and reasonable restrictions on what a civilian can purchase.  I think, if you can prove that you can use a gun safely and are not a known, violent criminal or someone whose mental health is in serious question, then you should be able to acquire, for instance, a Colt M1911 or R700, but not a CAR-15 or AK-47.

Exactly, France has changed it's constitution many times, and yet it is still one of the more successful of Nations. There is this attitude of worship toward our nation's founders that confuses me. I guess it's because of our nation's relative youth. The second amendment is just as relevant as the third, and yet I see none defending the third with such rigor. Just because things have been a certain way does not mean they must be that way. Humanity and society must always continue to advance, to take on new ideas, to learn and to grow, else they will die. This attitude of fear and hate toward gun control is harmful to the advancement of human society.

Sorry for the rant, but this is something I'm very passionate about.

If you don't want to be called a homophobe then maybe you shouldn't be doing and saying homophobic things. Not to mention that those things are nearly as bad as the things a lot of Christians call GLBT people on a daily basis.

Actually most nations were more concerned with cultural superiority and ethnocentrism, which sometimes went hand-in-hand with racism but not always. This is true in the Mediterranean, which actually was far more of a melting pot than is now portrayed in Hollywood- some of the Roman troops to invade England, for example, were Africans- but I'm not so sure of other places. The Romans were more cultural imperialist than racist- if you spoke Latin, were educated the Roman way, worshiped Roman gods, and followed Roman laws and customs, you were a proper Roman regardless of what part of the empire you were from. If not, you were a barbarian (or at least foreign). There actually was at least one fairly popular black emperor (who was properly Roman), in contrast to a disliked Germanic one (who was not).

Interesting point: The idea of a 'White' Race (or any 'Race') is fairly recent. The internecine strife between, for instance, the ancient israelites and the Caananites for instance would have fit the idea of ethnic cleansing but they would never have thought to be the one 'Semitic' race.

The idea of 'race' as a unifying, or universal, set ot traits was not a concept. If anything religion was probably a concept first. Hence the idea of 'Christendom'.

Bigotry is human, absolutely. Xenophobia is inherent, sure. Racism is a much more specific type of bigotry than just xenophobia- racism hatred of a person because of the colour of their skin alone and not as a signifier of nationality. The Romans discriminated against white foreigners and black foreigners equally. If you were born in Rome and you were black, you were a full citizen. Hatred of people because of their "race" is about 500 years old, about as old as racialised slavery and new-world colonialism.

Part of that effectively meant though that there weren't 'black' romans as even if they were born in Rome they were not citizens. But then as more people were granted Citizenship and slaves were freed and became citizens the racial construct of the 'Roman Citizen' did change.

The whole idea particularly when considerd with the Romans and the Italians is very interesting. I mean they fought the 'Social War' to prevent enfranchising the rest of Italy. But when the Italians were offered assistance by Mithridates (and others) they spurned that help as they did feel a greater identity with the Romans than the Seulucids.

Once again though it was a social/linguistic identity rather than a 'white'/ 'other colour' identity.

Who is "Transgender Jane" supposed to be?

Sounds like a character from a transgender version of Tarzan.

Our political cartoonists haven't gotten much more imaginative since then.  I swear I've seen a political cartoon similar to that sometime in the past couple of years, only for a modern issue.

this one gets even worse when one considers one of the reasons the US government encouraged people to have guns.. was so they could kill native americans.

I'm thinking  lots of native tribes at the time would have loved it if the US government had done some gun control on it's citizens.

Wow. Oh wow. They have managed to push one of my buttons.

Where do I begin? Well, first off, how much do you want to bet that these idiots would have been rabid supporters of the native removal policies? After all, they were "heathens" and "savages" who were on land that "belonged to us". Then, as others gave said, there's the fact that gun ownership was often encouraged to KILL Native Americans. not to mention just how progressive native culture by and large is. And if they really need to worry about immigrants, then can I assume you're leaving, Mr. political cartoonist?

Excuse me, I need to boot up some Saints Row so I can relieve this anger.

Nope, just sadistic, sexist trash like Max Hardcore & another like him, Khan Tusion ('Contusion', get it?). I'm very sex-positive and not anti-porn but there are some elements of porn that irk me big time. I know some are Dom/sub fantasies and some folks enjoy & consent to being pummeled (or worse) but these types tend to use deception & they don't give a hoot about the actresses feelings, safety, limits or expectations. "Method Acting"? More like "Assault".

I think ultra-extreme/violent/cruel porno should be limited to Hentai/Cartoon/Comics. That way, nobody gets hurt.

I think adult entertainment (be it skin flicks, nudie mags, etc.) should be divided in two categories (as concrete industry terms), "Porno" & "Erotica" with Porno being the trashy, gooey, sleazy stuff (with questionable fantasy scenarios) while Erotica is more sexy, artsy, sensual, beautiful (with less-questionable or even romantic scenarios). Both can still be super-explicit with penetration shots or what not but the presentation, aesthetics, overall attitude & aura about it etc. will differ. "Erotica" will present sex scenes in a polished way like many super-sexy nudie love/sex scenes in R-Rated movies...only X-Rated & very explicit.

I also think the Adult Film industry should cater to both men & women (of all orientations), pay actors of all sexes equally & make it mandatory for frequent check-ups & STI-testing & more condom use. If someone wants to do a stupid "Max Hardcore"-type flick, they should seek out women who really are into that sort of masochism, be 100% honest with these women & to respect these ladies' limits & health.

The problem with porn is that most studios have a weird "Soup-Nazi" attitude in regards to female fans, despite the fact that casting a big net and catering to all tastes who mean bigger bucks. Sexism & gender roles are just plain bad business. I'm glad there's a growing amount of "For Women By Women" porn.

I hate to break it to you, but that's the joke Ironbite was getting at. They resolved their issue over a decade ago when the World Wrestling Federation changed their name to World Wrestling Entertainment.

So sadly, the idea of them merging into a super-WWF in which pandas ward off poachers with steel chairs is unlikely. :(

Glenn Greenwald put it best:

Quote
So, to recap, in the Land of the Free: if you're an adult who produces a film using other consenting adults, for the entertainment of still other consenting adults, which merely depicts fictional acts of humiliation and degradation, the DOJ will prosecute you and send you to prison for years. The claim that no real pain was inflicted will be rejected; mere humiliation is enough to make you a criminal. But if government officials actually subject helpless detainees in their custody to extreme mental abuse, degradation, humiliation and even mock executions long considered "torture" in the entire civilized world, the DOJ will argue that they have acted with perfect legality and, just to be sure, Congress will hand them retroactive immunity for their conduct. That's how we prioritize criminality and arrange our value system.

As for enforced method acting, I remember reading about telling women he was going to do one thing then do something else even worse & that one lady had to go to the hospital.

I could have been just reading rumors but I don't know. That said, if everything on-screen was 100% consensual & pure acting then, yes, it's wrong that he was jailed a lot.

I guess the whole "violent porn" sub-genre, as repulsive as it seems, has a right to exist & may even be a positive outlet for a guy who came from a bad break up rather than him going out and raping everybody. Some say that since violent, rapey Hentai became big, sex crimes in Japan dropped. Only a super-psychopath would be inspired by this stuff & act on it.

I know this is going to inspire much debate which may derail this thread. I hope I didn't open a can of worms. :o

Read this. (http://boingboing.net/2008/10/07/adult-film-director.html) Even if his porn isn't for you, as people who support free speech, this still should be an issue.

As for enforced method acting, I remember reading about telling women he was going to do one thing then do something else even worse & that one lady had to go to the hospital.

I could have been just reading rumors but I don't know. That said, if everything on-screen was 100% consensual & pure acting then, yes, it's wrong that he was jailed a lot.

I guess the whole "violent porn" sub-genre, as repulsive as it seems, has a right to exist & may even be a positive outlet for a guy who came from a bad break up rather than him going out and raping everybody. Some say that since violent, rapey Hentai became big, sex crimes in Japan dropped. Only a super-psychopath would be inspired by this stuff & act on it.

I know this is going to inspire much debate which may derail this thread. I hope I didn't open a can of worms. :o

Now, on with the next super-crappy editorial cartoon!
Yeah, to me, BDSM is fine (well, I am in a BDSM-filled relationship, so duuuuuh). He was never, ever tried for rape, which means it's unlikely that he actually did anything wrong, which makes him going to jail horrible.

While I'm not in favour of having obscenity laws on the books and I don't subscribe to the view that porn or even sexual humiliation/consensual degradation is inherently misogynistic, it's really difficult to ignore the overtones of misogyny in some adult films, and Max Hardcore's stuff definitely falls into that category due to the overall tone of the movies.

And just so we're clear here, the obscenity charges weren't filed due to the BDSM, but because actresses in several films (all of whom were over 18 in real life) played characters who were explicitly stated to be as young as 12 -- hence child porn charges initially being tacked on as well, before being dismissed. Regardless of whether or not you feel that simulated pedophilia (whether cartoon or using adult actresses) should be illegal, it's still not quite the same thing as bringing up charges against someone for BDSM or extreme kink.

Quote
He was never, ever tried for rape, which means it's unlikely that he actually did anything wrong

Him not being tried for it hardly proves that he's never sexually coerced or abused any of the the actresses who have worked for him. Several of them have come forward stating that he did things to them that I would absolutely describe as sexual abuse, and while it's possible that they're lying, it's rather absurd to assume that he's innocent of these accusations based solely on his never being taken to court over it.

For one thing, sexual assault laws are sometimes lacking when it comes to certain acts of sexual abuse, particularly when you get into the grey area of consent. Moreover, it's fairly common for law enforcement to fail to follow through on cases involving sex workers, as they're extremely difficult to try in court and society tends to have some rather unfortunately views regarding the rights of people who are paid to have sex. Finally, it's rather daunting for an adult film actress to go through with filing charges and enduring a trial due to the high risk of backlash from the industry and society in general; going up against a famous, well-connected guy like Max Hardcore when you're a fairly unknown young actress would be pretty terrifying, I'd imagine.

I'd also point out snuff (non-simulated) and other types of sex crimes that have been filmed as porn. If it's simulated and the actors are there willingly (and adults, duh.) then I have no problem with porn. That is to say that I have no problems with it existing. I personally will not watch stuff like, let's say anything that includes excrement etc.

But just because I don't like it is not a reason to ban it.

I'm not saying that simulated child porn (or fake snuff and rape porn, for that matter) should be illegal, just that it's a more complex issue than depicting BDSM and other non-mainstream sex acts between consenting adults, particularly when the current laws on the matter are rather murky. Like I said, I'm not a fan of obscenity laws in general.

Not only that, but the ACLU has remained consistent in opposing the programs under Obama as well, and very little research is required to realize this (a quick Google search will debunk this cartoon). But, as I side in my previous post, the target audience of this cartoon is not going to do research because they've been conditioned to hate the ACLU and blindly accept any negative things said about them as true, even if evidence points to the contrary.

First of all, only one city has the drink container ban and even a number of liberals think it's stupid.  Also, no one's taking anyone's guns away (I really hate how gun control = taking away all guns, especially when most sensible gun owners have no problems with the gun control laws).  And you're encouraged to use alternate power; no one's forcing you.

As for the other, insulting someone just based on a belief is different from calling out someone on their stupid, hated actions.

In order respectively:

Yes, but I'd advise against it for health reasons and ask you to please not subject anyone else to the secondhand smoke. An E-cigarrette might be a better option.

*chugs down a 2-liter of Coke* Sure, can you get me one while your there?

*throws mostly empty soda bottle in to the air and shoots it with a shotgun* Sure. You wouldn't know a good place to get cheap ammo would you? It's so expensive most places around here.

Yeah, but have fun with the electric bill. The latest LED bulbs might be a bit more expensive but the last longer and are more efficient both in terms of electricity and money. There are a few things like heating lamps that require traits specific to an incandescent bulb, but otherwise I don't know why you'd prefer them over other options. I'm not fond of those spiral bulbs cause of the mercury the have in them, so I'd advise you be careful not to break them.

Is it really your choice or the power company's? I'd prefer more efficient and renewable resources for general power creation. Perhaps harness the methane in cow shit. I'd save the coal for stuff like cool old steam tractors or whatever.

Yeah. Just don't force it on others or be an annoying ass about it.

One suggestion though, in the future you should consider choosing more than one panel for a comic.

One group believes that Obama is a muslim and trying to destroy Israel in some global conspiracy, another group believes that Obama is part of the Jewis-globalconspiracy and would in fact like to see Israel destroyd. Both groups set aside their differences and form a narrative where they both can hate Obama and join forces. (And then they fight crime!)

Seriously, the biggest strength these right wing organisations have is that they can unite people in hatred. Even if they only agree on one tiny matter, even if otherwise they are idelogically opposites and would have no hope of co-operating if they did manage to defeat Obama. But as long as Obama is the president they can concentrate on this single issue. It is quite mind boggling.

It's from the People's Cube, made by a batshit crazy right-wing hack named Oleg Atbashian. He is allegedly a refugee from a Communist country and created a site called "Communists for Kerry." Since he a refugee from a former Soviet territory, he is one of those dipshits who right-wing retards who post shit on their blogs use as "proof" of how similar American liberals are to communists and socialists.

If this guy really is a refugee from an actual Communist country, and he is exploiting that just to make tasteless, idiotic, stupid, thoughtless, shit-brained, ignorant, substance free partisan potshots at liberals in America for the enjoyment of the sordid cretenious vermin that is the American Roght-Wing, then he is a terrible human being with no integrity, no character, and no sense of empathy for the people who suffered under real communist countries. He should be ashamed of himself. He's one of the few people who I honestly wish had been aborted by his parents. I don't care how harsh that sounded.

Biography of Evangelist Tim Todd

Taking the whole gospel to the whole world before Jesus comes!


Who is Tim Todd and what is so special about the ministry of Revival Fires International headquartered in West Monroe, LA? In each generation, God seems to raise up special men and women to whom He gives the opportunity to be used in a mighty way. Tim is such a man. In his heart there burns a desire to reach every man, woman, young person and child on the face of the earth with the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ.

Tim has a special message for the church during this end-time revival. He conducts special services where God's Word is preached under the anointing of the Holy Ghost. Tim's message is pure gospel, his delivery is dynamic, and his heart is aflame with the power of God.

I remember a YouTube user (whose videos were sadly taken down) who did dramatic readings of a couple of these tracts, and it was basically the same thing word-for-word except drawn in this stupid pseudo-anime style.

EDIT: Like this (though these aren't the full versions). (http://www.thetruthforyouth.com/standard/main.htm) The only one that looks significantly different is the homosexuality one.

The article in question is here (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0018442X04700335), but it's paywalled. I might have access from uni, though, so I'll check if I can get the full text tomorrow.

From the abstract, it seems like it argues that H. erectus could be considered the same species as H. sapiens.
Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons
Post by: SimSim on September 01, 2013, 08:03:02 pm
And of course we now know(wasn't known at time article was written) that in Asia H. sapiens were breeding with the Densovians, and in Europe H. sapiens were breeding with Neanderthals. That's going to lead to some genetic difference between main the trunk of H. sapiens in Africa and the populations in Europe and Asia.

Overall doesn't mean much of anything, just an interesting factoid.

The racists love to fondle and abuse miniscule sciency-lookin' factoids into their spew. There's evidence that H. Erectus was the first out-of-Africa human diaspora, with a following wave of early H. Sapiens ages later. Neanderthal's were a climatic era niche species that did not wander far afield because they were weird like that, and probably because they did not like change. They made virtually the exact same style of tools for hundreds of thousands of years with no advancement. I'd rather not talk about that side of my family. They embarrass me. Yet, I can see why the fringe-y racist uber fuckwits lay claim to Neanderthal blood with pride; all that sameness, clannishness, xenophobia, non-existant art, spears-spears-and-more-spears, over and over, just like their great-great-to-the-6th-power grandkids.

Yeah. We're doing pretty well with Syria. It's Russia where history might as well be set on a loop, complete with one-of-a-kind president with an extremely socially active wife, a huge economic downturn, the European nation that's being loopy hosting the (Winter, in this case) Olympics, a once great nation in despair being lead by a photo shoot obsessed man who is seen as the second coming in his nation who believes he knows how to make everything better and return them to their greatness, and more.

Weird coincidence. I find it odd that history is repeating to such an extent. The president and his wife don't really have an influence either, but it's odd that FDR was the first disabled president and had a very active wife, and Obama's the first black one and has a very active wife.

It's not weird on it's own. It's weird when it is tied together with just how much a repeat things are. Formerly great nation in a state of decay. Charismatic leader who is their personal jesus solving all their issues and loves the camera. Militaristic mindset. Heavy discrimination by law against minorities. Global economic downturn. Minority (disabled/black) president in the White House. Socially active first lady. If the Republicans gave a shit about anyone but themselves, I could put a New Deal 2.0 here. That said, the press (in this case, the right wing press, in the past, all of America) praising the camera loving personal jesus.

At any given point in time, there's quite a lot going on. More so the closer you get to the present, since you have more people to do things. A large enough number of things that we should expect that, picking two time periods under any criterion, they would entirely by coincidence have a number of similarities unrelated to the criterion of choice. As exemplified above, twice.

Which is to say: a lot of things were true about the thirties, and a lot of things are true about nowadays. So, if you find some reason to bring to your attention these two times (for example, the analogies you have drawn between Germany and Russia), and then you look for other things, then by law of large numbers, you will find some things that are true now and some things with a certain similarity that were true then, regardless of whether this is at all related to the original thing that brought them to your attention. The broader you are willing to cast your net, as it were, the more similarities you will find (and "First X president, with very active wife, for some interesting values of X" is a broad net to cast)

Which is to say (again), that I don't think there's anything particularly interesting relationship going on between your observations regarding FDR and Obama, or the Olympics thing, and your observations regarding Germany and Russia. It's a coincidence, as coincidences are bound to pop up, if you consider something as big as the number of things that are true in a period of time.

Or, as put by someone much funnier than I am:

Quote from: Tim Minchin
So to presume that your one-in-64-million chance thing is a miracle, is to significantly underestimate the total number of... things... that there are.

I understand. I just find it funny that while the biggest details are the same, so are the littler ones. Less "meaningful" and more "huh". Now, if an Olympic athlete does amazing in Russia and then comes out as gay, I will make a joke about more history repeating. That said, this is going to be the most boring Olympic orgy.

They don't. There have been strikes and protests by fast food workers and they're demanding $15/hour.

$100 says the maker of that graphic supported the NSA back in 2006.

In all seriousness, I agree that $15 an hour is a bit high for minimum wage workers. I'd recommend a $10.50 an hour wage.

It's kind of funny. Charles J. Sykes, in his book "50 Things You Won't Learn In School" chastised teenagers for displaying exactly this kind of attitude, telling them that their grandparents would have called it an opportunity. This same guy is a right-wing radio host in Milwaukee who denigrates exactly these types of people for asking for a more reasonable pay (he also denied the existence of the economic crisis of 2008 right up until Obama became President in January in 2009, when he suddenly decided the crisis was real and that Obama was to blame). Suddenly these guys are "entitled" and "freeloaders." It's amazing how one's views on a group of people can change when said group of people isn't supporting the policies you support.

Working at a busy restaurant, whether a fast food chain or a sit down full service place, is in the top five of the most stressful jobs, according to the APA. It's right up there with fire fighters, police, EMT's, ER nurses, etc. I'm off now to find that study and link to it.

I think they'll find that it's a lot more complicated than that.

Of all the jobs I've worked, my high school fast food gig was easily the most demanding of the bunch. I get stressed out just thinking about what a typical shift entailed. Even after I was promoted to supervisor, I had to deal with all kinds of shit while running the opening shift on the weekend, not the least of which was bitchy customers and asshole bosses who used me as a scapegoat for every stupid little thing.

Obviously, none of that compares to the stress of being a soldier on the front line, but the fact that a shittier job exists hardly justifies paying fast food workers unlivable wages. I also find it rather telling that no one ever points out that soldiers who are putting their lives on the line for their country make pennies compared to a lazy, selfish CEO who awards himself a bonus while thousands of employees are being laid off during a recession.

30 year restaurant business pro here. Dishwashing is one of the hardest and most stressful jobs in that business. The entire restaurant operation can come to a halt if the disher doesn't keep up with demand during a rush. Even the best veteran disher will sink under the weeds if the machine breaks, or the grease trap backflows. When working as a manager, I always dreaded it if we had only a rookie disher when an unexpected rush hit. I had to go there and help. It was the only position that absolutely required immediate attention in an understaffed or rookie staff situation. I will say without any shame that even I could not handle being a solo disher during a rush - it is mind boggling how fucking awful it can get back behind that dish pit, friends. Steamy screamin' hell.

I know from a friend that one restaurant in my general area sometimes didn't even wash the dishes, they just rinsed the food off so it looked clean. Granted this is the same place with a stoner for a manager and my friend finding a lady sticking her arm up to her elbow in to the pudding at the salad right after he had changed it. She proceeded to lick the pudding off her arm with my friend telling her something to the effect of "what the hell lady, I just changed that!" Her kid then comes up and sticks his arm in the pudding. Best part? This restaurant is the last of a group of pizza places that birthed what is now one of the largest pizza chains in the area.

As much as this guy I knew was at times a bullshitter, he swears up and down these things were totally true. After things I've seen, yeah, I'll believe it.

Bleach is heaven compared to a backed-up grease trap sludge soaking into your shoes and pants. One time I had to clean out the trap crazy nasty messy fast, then run back to the mop sink, strip off my shoes socks and pants, scrub the sewage off with mop solution and water from the filler, then re-dressed in checkered chef uniform pants and a big pair of somebody's shoes so I could go back out to help the solo bartender who was 3 deep with standees. We all laughed about the clown suit I was reduced to after work. I made a keg of Heiny "disappear" from the inventory for the staff after closing that night.

Going back to the wage thing -
It should probably also be noted that the military wage is in addition to medical coverage, job training, subsidized housing, discount plans all across the country, paid vacation time, and other benefits that are often also extended to immediate family members.
I don't know what the tax rate is on military income, or if that number is after taxes or not.
Someone making 30k a year in the USA, after an average 15-20% tax deduction, probably wouldn't be able to  afford medicare and rent in the same month.

Actually... she doesn't. But she does have this really obnoxious and over-the-top Nazi griffin OC (I'm not making this up) who appears in a lot of her works, despite the fact that neither griffins nor Nazis exist in the Care Bears universe. Furthermore, this character speaks in a thick and exaggerated German accent and has combat-related PTSD (which she alternately romanticizes and makes fun of). He is also occasionally shown screeching in very bad German (as many of the artist's critics have pointed out), and savagely attacking Amigo Bear (whom the artist portrays as a freeloading illegal immigrant because his name is Spanish or something).

I've seen enough awful fan fiction in my time to know that there are fangirls out there who will woobify anybody, no matter how monstrous. A character may eat puppies and blow up planets, but there'll be fangirls for them.

World War 2 ended almost seventy years ago;  there aren't many people alive who fought in it.  To a teenage fanbrat, Hitler and the Nazis might as well be just as fictional as Loki or Sephiroth--so why not ship them because they're, like, dark and edgy and wear cool outfits and stuff, and pissing off boring people who know about history is just part of the added fun.

I've seen enough awful fan fiction in my time to know that there are fangirls out there who will woobify anybody, no matter how monstrous. A character may eat puppies and blow up planets, but there'll be fangirls for them.

Please, tell me they don't do it to Broly...

From Dragon Ball Z? Hell yes, they do it to Broly.

I don't mind messing with fictional bad guys or villains from centuries ago in a far different era but when you mess with nasty folks from the past 100 years, that's just, dumb.

And NAZIS of all people! *BLAUGH*!

Then there's those who crush hard on serial killers & terrorists. Look, I don't care how mind-blowingly gorgeous & baby-faced Tzokhar Tsarnev is....he's a slimy freak who caused the death of over four people (one of them a child) & the maiming of dozens! Even if the guy was a relatively decent, fun-loving boy who was influenced by his goon of a big brother, he did it! In fact, kid brother may have been the one who set the bomb by that 8 year old boy. He saw the child. Did that stop him? Nooooooooooooo!

I understand some gals have a thing for "bad boys", but going ape over bloodthirsty, subhuman psychopaths who committed Nightmare Fuel stuff to many people is crossing the line.

Ok maybe I just have too much faith in peopel or I'm too sensitive to irony but I wanna call Poe.

For one, this guys dismisses the holocaust while also admitting the holocaust happened.

And "Mengele loved gyspy children" has some definite irony when one knows the history.

I just have trouble believing someone can be that self unaware.

A good lier knows what he's lying about at least on some level.

So the bigots admit their hypocritical double-standard. White Man/Black Woman is great but Black Man/White Woman is EVIL!

Here's a novel thought, bigots; How about.....White Man/Black Woman & Black Man/White Woman are BOTH GREAT?!

Along with any other combos with any other colors, ethnicities, creeds, genders, etc.

The gall! Why is it okay for a white guy to love a black woman but not the other way around? Sorry sweet thang, but women & blacks are equal to men & whites so shove it with your misogynist/ethnicist BS!

Now, to the idiot who made this' credit, at least they used photos of nice, clean cut couples rather than the stereotypical "Joe Q. Whiteguy/Sapphire T. Hoodrat & Jane Q. Whitegal/Buck T. 'Supafly' Gangsta". It's still stupid, though.

It's not that they don't 'qualify as normal'. It's that the health issues (without even considering the mental defects) associated with one of the only survivable trisomies are pretty major, and many parents who are aware of what their Down Syndrom baby's life is going to be like don't want to put them through it.

Funny how the glurgey 'inspirational' stories tend to feature children who (based on appearance in the ones I've seen that had pictures) have relatively mild cases.

That is in no way comparable to a grown woman chooses to dress as part of her celebrity persona.

Once again, a woman does not want an abortion the same way as she wants a pedicure or shit like that. She wants it the same way an animal wants to free itself from a bear-trap or something else.

Of course, using that logic will once again invoke more strawman logic than the one I've tried (and presumably failed) to reason with.

That baby is completely normal (and very white, and probably photoshopped). The "save the disabled babies because they're just different!" rhetoric is incredibly fucked up. My cousin has Sturge-Warner syndrome and KT syndrome (both very rare chromosomal abnormalities; he's the only person in the US with both) and his life isn't something I would wish on anybody. He will never live unassisted, he will never have a partner or spouse, and will almost certainly never hold down a normal job. His childhood was spent in and out of hospitals, schools for the disabled, and his parents' home. He has the intellect of a young child (he's nineteen), and he's constantly trotted out as an example of G-d's love or protection or whatever. My aunt and uncle have been under enormous strain, day in and day out, since before he was born. They will care for him until the day they die. If anyone here thinks that it's okay to value the life of someone/something who might never be able to have a full life over one that already has one, they have lost their fucking minds.

And Lady Gaga? Aside from her somewhat obnoxious fashion choices, she's pretty intelligent and well-spoken. I don't like her music or her dress, but I can respect her as an artist. Besides, you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who considers her fashion sense normal. There's no fucking comparison.

Lady Gaga is trolling the fashion world, I am convinced. And she actually has them giving her street cred for being ballsy in her (mostly unbeknownst to them) mockery. Madonna and Bjork and others have done it at least on occasion for decades.

I could have respected Lady Gaga until she trotted out the tired old transphobia. And yes, I mean her. Not her critics doing it.

As it is, at this point I try to ignore her.

Also, as usual when fundies try to give me the tired spiel of 'what if you had been aborted' I often like to smile and say 'I wish I had been. But then, you tell me how you'd feel being in this body and knowing your mother could have ended all of that but didn't. Instead she and her high-as-a-kite boyfriend decided to give you up for adoption.'

I have ever had fundies claim that my living past the doctor's predicted time is proof of God's love. You'll understand if I usually burst out laughing.

And the poster's argument of normal falls flat considering everything else they deem abnormal.

I'm not sure what I think of "legal in certain circumstances". It could mean from making 3rd trimester illegel to only allowing abortions in the case of endangering the mothers's life. So 78% believe abortion should be restricted in some form, although we don't know what that form is. And 26% who believes abortion should be legal, is a lot more then 5%

Not really "political" but I'm posting it here anyway. This is from some Christian modesty booklet. So if you don't act like it's the 19th century and dress in your grandmother's curtains then you're not lady like. I also like how the first rule is essentially "no fat chicks."

a) "Becoming cheap?" "Unchastity?" You can tell this was written by a prude, most people who complain about women would have just called slut-shaming what it is.
b) If a woman has an "ungainly walk" they probably have some sort of health issue (Same goes with "Raspy, gravelly voice.")
c) "Ready smile?" So women are supposed to smile all the time? Going straight for the "Stepford smile" I see. (CREEEEEPY)

My mom made me go to etiquette and deportment classes after school for a year when I turned 11. Mind you, I'm cis lesbian, and was very happy as a tomboy, climbing trees and playing tennis and building crossbows and other fun crazy shit in my spare time. This femininity training sheet looks a lot like what I remember having to study back in 1971. Judging from the "bad example" girl's clothes, maybe this one dates from 1959 to 1965. After I passed the class - which I hated beyond all you can imagine - my mom signed me up for Cotillion ball room dancing. I hated my childhood at times....

Not exactly political, but still pretty fucking stupid. (http://www.musiciansare.com/index.php?id=6927)

This is Amon Amarth, your argument is invalid.

Saw those guys in concert.

Ironbite-really wish the Mayhemfest would punt Masterdon off the main stage and bring some other band up from the side stage.

Well, for one, Mastodon sells tickets. They're fucking huge. For two, what's wrong with Mastodon in the first place?
They're terrible vocalists live. I love their albums, but they can't sing for shit.

It's sad that this viewpoint is still "thriving" today.  Very sad.

...As for the Europa cartoon... all I can say is that I've been a furry so long, it took me a moment to realize that they made the Muslim a pig.  Well, I can also say "I wonder where YOUR ancestry traces to, 'Europa'", but that's a given.

The Redskins could easily be renamed the Potomacs and use an accurate, dignified mascot depiction of a Patawomek warrior. Potomac is the Anglicized spelling and pronunciation of Patawomek.

The younger man on the right in this picture of Patawomeck tribe members wearing early historic dress would make a great model for a new mascot. That would look way more "kick ass" than the dated, Hollywood cartoon-looking Redskins mascot.
(http://i.imgur.com/LLKpYkh.jpg)


The Potomac River is famous and very much associated with DC, and it would fit thematically with the name of the baseball team, the Nationals, and the hockey team, the Capitals.

I agree with this.

Someone should submit a formal petition to the place to change the name from "Redskins" to "Potomacs".

Goes from racist caricature to celebration of the culture that way.  I think.  I'm not a Potomac so I don't have the final say on that.

Are they mixing in-universe and meta properties (acting like Spongebob being a fry-cook somehow affects his show being worth billions)?  That makes for a bit of a skewed comparison, don't you think?  Also, going by a scene where Spongebob shows his license, he'd be 26, not 16.  If we go by the creator's statement, "He explained that SpongeBob actually has no specific age, but that he is old enough to be on his own and still be going to boating school.  The decision to have SpongeBob attend a boat driving school was made due to a request from Nickelodeon that the character attend a school." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpongeBob_SquarePants_(character)#Creation)  So, still most likely not 16, as 16 isn't an age most kids start living on their own, and somone can be out of their teens by the time they start learning how to drive.  And that's not even considering just how long Spongebob has been failing his boating class.  If they're going by the first air-date, Spongebob would be 14, not 16.

. . . Holy crap, Spongebob started 14 years ago.

Really, I've never gotten the appeal.  If I want to watch grown adults slam into one another, I'll watch Braveheart or something...and if it HAS to be some kind of sport, I'll stick to wrestling or something.  At least the characters there are halfway interesting, and its STILL less gay than football.

Yeah wrestling both amateur and professional is the closest thing to gay sex you can get and still have it uncensored on TV. I do have to admit though that scrums in rugby look pretty suspect, although from personal experience when I used to play rugby I don't think anyone actually gets excited in the scrum - at least in Rugby as opposed to league I cant imagine anyone getting a thrill in there as usually someone is trying to hurt you (although maybe if you get off on that?). I don't really know though because I am more attracted to women and the only openly gay guys I ever played with were in the backs.

People would think "Well he should've gotten insurance before he got the condition."

Which would've been, you know, before he was born.

But this is the age of entitlement, and it's precisely the opposite of what the Republicans think it is.  Entitlement has become "I deserve it more than that person does because of (insert arbitrary reason here)", it isn't "I need this necessary thing and cannot afford it, so the government should do the right thing and provide it to me."

Because believe it or not... a phone number is necessary in America.  Cell phones are cheaper than landlines, and more advantageous.  You cannot, absolutely CANNOT get hired without a phone number, and in some cases, an e-mail address.  And guess what?  Obamaphones provide access to both.

If those women have all the money now, they aren't going to be that bothered by guys not paying for stuff anymore.

I also find it bizarre that the the guy on the bottom left seems to be some kind of airport ground staff, when none of the panels even show a plane or any kind of airport setting.

Trigger Discipline.

She has her finger on the trigger of the pistol. Unless you are about to shoot the correct way is to keep the finger outside the trigger ring to prevent accidentally firing the gun.

Not that it would be such an issue with a toy gun (which I assume that one is) but when you have learned the firearm safety rules seeing stuff like that is a bit annoying. (And rage inducing when you see people break the rules with real guns.)

I really do assume that gun is a toy so it's not that serious. I mean if she's posing in a top like that I assume it's from a photoshoot of some sort or cosplay so no need for a real gun. Particularly since the gun would be ready to fire (you can see the red dot indicating that the safety is off and since the hammer has already been cocked the trigger pull is much lighter) if it were real.

But again, I'm just assuming that it's a toy gun so as long as she follows/learns the safety rules with real guns no harm done.

People were complaining about trigger discipline on Frogman's tumblr when he posted a picture of his mom (Frogmom) holding a toy gun that looks like the one Robocop has.

His response was: "She is scheduled to take my fake plastic firearms safety course next Tuesday. On Wednesday she will partake in my advanced rubber nunchucks course. And Thursday is Nerf warfare and tactics with special guest speaker, Leroy Patton. Great Grandson of famed military strategist General George Patton’s 2nd cousin, Murray Patton. 

I feel confident her fake weaponry education will be thorough and to your satisfaction."

And seriously, even thought TD and other firearm safety lessons are things I notice subconciously I can give some slack for people with toy guns. Unless they are cosplaying military characters and other who should really know TD. Then it's just poor acting.

Well, there's an argument to be made that it's important even for toy guns.  Not because toy guns themselves are dangerous, but rather, it creates and more importantly encourages good habits.

Imagine seeing all of these military-looking people holding toy guns but maintaining trigger discipline.  People will subconsciously emulate that for any gun, real or fake, once they see it enough.

No one should expect racist gun nuts to be competent users of their weapons. Their guns are fetish items (part of a fear and power fantasy). The inherent situational aspects of their weapons are willfully ignored. Their improper usage of their weapons makes them a danger to themselves and others.

I would point out TD even on a picture of someone holding a paintball gun. It's important, no matter who it is and what the purpose is. It's important, especially if it's something that will be seen by a lot of people.

Not maintaining TD even for a fake gun is what causes accidents with real guns. Usually by impressionable children and teens.

Now whether the lws and security went overboard is up for debate, but I still fail to see the hypocracy.  I mean the shooters were white males, but we're not condemnding whilte males as far as I know.

I'm not a gun enthusiast (never even fired one, or taken any kind of gun safety course), but my eyes automatically go to a person's trigger finger whenever I see a picture of someone pointing a gun.

Maybe in the US, but we don't really have a gun culture up here and firearms are generally less of a fear than knives. Plus I didn't really start looking for it until I spotted the odd post about gun safety online. Now TD is one of the first things I notice in a picture.

Point is, if someone who doesn't use firearms, has no real interest in them and hasn't taken a gun safety course knows gun safety better than someone who actually owns a weapon, there's something seriously wrong.

Why would you post something that is so false and made up? It does nothing but makes you look like a fool!

Quote
Ad conservatives, we need to STOP posting false information like this. There is enough truthful things that can be posted against this administration that we don't need to post false information. It undermines our credibility.

Quote
Don't lie about things like this. It makes conservatives and Libertarians look like, well, Democrats.

Quote
Seriously, you need to take this down. Too many people are taking this as fact because they trust you to post stuff that is true. Does that remind you of anything?

Quote
Liberal Logic 101 needs to do a better job of vetting their info or it'll appear that you're stooping to the Libs standards.

Quote
That's not true. I know cause I voted and not for obama.

Quote
I can't stand Obama but this is an outright Lie. We don't need lies to attack Obama. The truth provides plenty of ammunition.

Quote
This meme is made-up numbers. Come on people, no one needs to lie to make Obuttma look bad, Lying brings us down to his level.

I understand that the Facebook Page Liberal Logic 101 was reported to Facebook for spreading verifiable falsehoods. It's NOT a good strategy to blatantly lie.

You pretty much get the picture.

Apparently in the book series Dexter was based on, it got even cornier at times. IIRC there was a plot point about how Dexter Morgan's "dark passenger" was actually the son of Moloch. As in the creature that people sacrificed babies to. And that it possessed him and was actually an entity forcing him to do those things. Then the author scrapped it, and retconned it to be that it was simply a scapegoat Dexter came up with to excuse himself of his actions.

Aptly named cartoon. It is comically incorrect.

Sometimes a man cannot fish even if he wished to. That is why you give someone else less fortunate a fish, even if it only feeds them for a day. Many people hate the idea of taking charity. It's only recently that the idea that those who are in need aren't actually in need and are begging just to beg.

Even back during the Great Depression you had people giving to the less fortunate and said less fortunate would refuse it because it infringed on their honor. They wanted to do it themselves. They wanted to earn the money to buy their 'daily fish'. That feeling hasn't changed. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Once you haven't eaten in days because you are completely unable to earn that food you end up deciding that a bit of tarnished honor is nothing compared to the feeling of hunger.

There is also the fact that some people have this odd idea that it is laughably easy to get on welfare and disability. When it's the opposite. Many people very much in need are rejected from accepting welfare or disability.

25% of those treated at Veterans Affairs Hospitals are homeless through no real fault of their own. A lot of homeless are LGBTQ, as well as those who are mentally and/or physically unwell. There are actually very few cases where someone is homeless simply because they didn't manage money that well.

Conservatives know literally nothing about anything.

Ironically the Puritans were big government types.  There was a reason the British exiled them.  Also we are thankful for no big government interfering with our genocide

The puritans were a real pain in the goddam ass. They're responsible for at least three wars- the English Civil*, 80 years and 30 years wars. Together they probably killed four million people. Why? Because, unlike normal Protestants, they just couldn't stand living on a planet with Catholics on it as well. Hence their attempt to get as far away from said Catholics as possible (they weren't really "exiled" in any real sense). They were willing to even fight to overthrow Protestant governments who were unwilling to murder all their Catholic population: they were objecting not so much to their own persecution, which typically sat on a scale somewhere between negligible and no worse than everyone else, but to the non-persecution of others. They also literally banned Christmas. Literally true. It happened.

*Admittedly this one was more complex. In fact, they're all more complex, but stupid Puritan intolerance was a major part of all three.

Hey, would Christians be offended by a cartoon depicting Jesus storming into a mosque and hacking up women and children like what happened in the Crusades?

Yeah, I thought so.

I mean, Muslims have the added prohibition on depicting Mohammed at all, but still. Personally, I think the Muslims need to remember the REASON why they have it - it's to prevent idolatry. Therefore, it should only apply to Muslims, being that non-Muslims are obviously not going to be worshiping Mohammed.

Do those Wal Mart wankers know many of the protestors are actually their own employees
Going by their anti-Union videos they force you to sit thru on day one of your employment, I highly doubt it.  That, or they just don't care.
The supermarket chain I work for has a flyer for the shop workers union in the staff room, and it isnt hidden or anything, its sitting there on the same board along with stuff about regulations and things. Im so glad the UK is no where as anti-union as the US (though I know the Tory party are trying hard to make it that way, and im sure Wal-Mart will be happy considering they own one of the big UK supermarkets. Luckily people over here dont listen to that sort of bullshit.)

It's hard to believe that it's just a coincidence that all of the assailants happen to be black whereas the victim is a white guy. Then you've got two white people standing by, looking upset but doing nothing to stop it, and one white dude cheering them on. All of the black people are either indifferent or actively encouraging it, none of them stepping in to stop it. The only message I'm getting is that the artist believes black people are bullying/harming whites, and society is either indifferent to it, too scared to step in and stop it, or eggs it on. Seems like a pretty obvious "Black people have gone too far with civil rights and are harming poor whitey" statement to me.

I could send that to the retired support staff for that mission still living in Satellite Beach, down the road from me, but it would make them sob. My mom watched that explosion live from 10 miles off in Titusville. It was the one time she went to the trouble of dealing with the traffic and crowds to see a launch up close. You can see all Cape Canaveral launches from my front yard if there is no cloud cover in the 45 mile stretch between my place and the launch pads. You could here the shuttles, too, the rocket engines on them were so fucking huge.

Using the photo of the STS Challenger exploding as the main element of a political cartoon is obscenely disrespectful. That event was a national tragedy, had no political overtones to begin with, and should never be used for expressing sarcasm. Notice the small objects in a loose group, streaming away from the right side of the main explosion smoke plume? Those are the crew members' bodies after their seats automatically ejected when the latched dome over the crew and cockpit compartment automatically popped off when catastrophic launch failure was recognized by the onboard systems a split second before the main explosion.

I thought they stayed in the detached cockpit & possibly alive during the descent. I'm confused.

But if that info is wrong and those "streams" were the bodies, then that footage becomes extra-creepy.

It's creepy and horrifying either way but seeing the occupants on-camera gives a whole new horrible angle to it.

My brother is best friends with a retired mission control center technician (he monitored telemetry data -streams of numbers, not visuals - but they are all in the same room and they all talk). The media almost immediately quashed the early reports about the bodies and "corrected" it to small "debris" streams. There was already more than enough grief about the disaster, and I guess some higher-ups justifiably figured it was a matter of privacy and dignity for the deceased astronauts' families, and respect for the dead, to put a stop to a very extreme piece of TMI.

Understand, that the seat eject system was not designed to save lives - that is impossible when a Saturn 5 plus two boosters fails at high altitude and acceleration; it's not like the astronauts have a fighter pilot's parachute on their seats or suits. Because of the blown cabin roof and seat ejections, some few body parts were recoverable. The launch was aimed outward over the Atlantic, as they all are, so most partial remains that did not completely immolate and disintegrate on the way down sunk into the water and were not recovered. There were no monitored screams from the astronauts mics - they died instantly from the massive concussive shock force of the blasts.

Spuki, what you are recalling maybe are reports about STS Columbia when it broke up on re-entry.

My understanding is that no space shuttles after the first two prototype launches contained any ejection system. To include one of any kind would take up too much space for something that wasn't of any use. This is further proved by the fact that there was a lot of research in to refitting the shuttles with an eject system after one of the disasters and it was found to be next to impossible without totally rebuilding the shuttle.

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-51-L):

Quote
Crew fate

Divers from the USS Preserver located what they believed to be the crew cabin on the ocean floor on March 7. A dive the following day confirmed that it was the cabin and that the remains of the crew were inside.[6] No official investigation into the Challenger disaster has concluded for certain the cause of death of the astronauts; it is almost certain, however, that the disintegration itself did not kill the entire crew as 3 of the 4 PEAPs (personal egress air packs) that were recovered had been manually activated. This would only be done during an emergency or loss of cabin pressure (although whether cabin pressure was lost is still in debate but considered likely). PEAPs do not provide a pressurized air flow and would still have resulted in the astronauts losing consciousness within several seconds.[7] There were media reports alleging that NASA had a secret tape recording of the crew panicking and on-board conversation following the disintegration during the 2 minute 45 second free fall before hitting the sea east of Florida. This was likely fabricated and no such recording exists: the crew may have been unconscious from loss of cabin pressure and the astronauts did not wear individual voice recorders.[8] Any such voice recording facility would have been without power since the breakup of the orbiter immediately separated the crew compartment from the power-generating fuel cells in the back of the vehicle. It is certain that the impact of the shuttle with the sea would have killed any still surviving astronauts on board, though they may have died before the impact of other causes.

Mercury and Apollo had Launch Escape Towers that would have carried the Command Module away from the launch vehicle in the case of an abort.  Gemini used ejection seats like the first four Shuttle missions would.

My understanding is that no space shuttles after the first two prototype launches contained any ejection system. To include one of any kind would take up too much space for something that wasn't of any use. This is further proved by the fact that there was a lot of research in to refitting the shuttles with an eject system after one of the disasters and it was found to be next to impossible without totally rebuilding the shuttle.

The first four launches of Columbia, STS-1 through 4, that had ejection seats.  Starting with STS-5 the shuttle was considered "Operational" and the ejection seats were removed.  From STS-5 through the STS-51L disaster (the Challenger explosion) the crew didn't even wear pressure suits during lift-off--you see footage of the astronauts going out to the pad between 1982 and 1986, they'll be in their blue jumpsuits.  The orange pressure suits came back after the Challenger explosion because of several abort escape options added after the disaster, but none of them would have saved the Challenger crew.

But basically, yeah, like MadCat said, it was decided that retrofitting a full cabin ejection would have been a big retrofitting of the vehicles, and kept them out of service for years before flying again.  NASA decided it just wasn't worth it for the relatively small increase in safety overall, I guess.

On topic: Yep, Ramirez is a big asshole for drawing this cartoon.

Not to mention that cartoon assumes that all teacher would WANT to carry a gun. my mother certainly doesn't, and if I become a teacher I wouldn't.

Investors Business Daily, where differing viewpoints get crassly turned into distorted oversimplified and often completely inaccurate caricatures.

Pretty much anyone who uses the term "Big Labor" unironically and thinks that unions are not part of the Free Market is a moron and if you voted for politicians that try to crush unions, it is completely and entirely your fault if you get fucked over.

Also, the Tea Party vs Occupy Wall Street cartoon? What fucking point to the Teabaggers have? The Tea Baggers are mostly right-wing Baby Boomers, and are known for their arrogant sense of "I'm right, you're wrong," they're closed-mindedness, their paranoia, their complete lack of an education because they have no goddamn motherfucking clue what socialism is, their hypocrisy (they like to bash liberals for not "taking personal responsibility" and that they should "blame themselves" if they have no job when all the Tea Baggers do is bitch about something they think Obama did based on some right-wing blog they read daily), they infest the city-data political forums (I left that site because of all the Tea Bagger idiocy and because the posters were utter douchebags), they can't even comprehend the possibility that they might not be right 100% of the time, and they drone on and on about how patriotic they are and how important it is to love America and "support the troops" when most of them probably shit themselves or did everything they could to avoid actually fighting for this country. They're fucking cretins who are not only willfully ignorant, but they bask in their ignorance and think it empowers them.

As for the "endless unemployment benefits"…I can't even describe how fucking wrong that fucking piece of fucking shit cartoon is. Christ, WE DON'T FUCKING HAVE FUCKING ENDLESS UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS. God fucking damn it you stupid fucking right-wing cartoonists. Do some fucking research before you fucking post your fucking shit. Yeah, unemployment benefits are what cause unemployment. Jesus Christ, I can't with these stupid motherfuckers. I just can't. Fuck that goddamn fucking newspaper.

The Right-Wing, ladies and gentlemen. Where ignorance is empowering and your viewpoints are how reality works by default and anyone who disagrees with you is not only wrong but hates America and wants it to fail.

Don't feel like making a new topic, so I'll post a conversation I had with with Conservatoons on DeviantArt.

Quote
Me: So what's your opinion on Edward Snowden?

Conservatoons: Very low.  He did not go thru proper channels.  He went to foreign press and seeks asylum in enemy states.

Me: Do you think he has any information that would be severely detrimental to the Obama administration?

Conservatoons: Doesn't matter.  Media have lied for him from the beginning.  They will continue to do so because his socialist policies are in line w/ the medias desire to turn us into a gender neutral, socialist utopia managed by our betters.   Also to expose him would be to admit they too lied or that they are dupes.    If Snowden pulled this stunt w/ a Repub in office it would be the ongoing daily crisis and embarrassment - which it is.  Not to mention dangerous and a terrible precedent.

I guess it's a reference to A Charlie Brown Christmas and the cartoonist is implying that Charlie Brown...and by extension...all things "True Christmas", would be mortified...or something. Charlie being there still seems rather non sequitur, though.

However, the late, great Charles Schulz would be mortified to see Ol' Chuck in some crappy far-right toon. Though a spiritual man with a respect for Jesus and The Bible, Schulz eventually grew deeply disenchanted with the organized church and identified as a "Humanist" later in life.

As we well know from neocon science, the female reproductive organs have their own mind, separate from the main one located in the skull, and the aforementioned "vagina mind" clamours for reproduction constantly.  To abort is to impose the will of the upper mind on the lower, and we can't have that.

Don't feel like making a new topic, so I'll post a conversation I had with with Conservatoons on DeviantArt.

Quote
Me: So what's your opinion on Edward Snowden?

Conservatoons: Very low.  He did not go thru proper channels.  He went to foreign press and seeks asylum in enemy states.

Me: Do you think he has any information that would be severely detrimental to the Obama administration?

Conservatoons: Doesn't matter.  Media have lied for him from the beginning.  They will continue to do so because his socialist policies are in line w/ the medias desire to turn us into a gender neutral, socialist utopia managed by our betters.   Also to expose him would be to admit they too lied or that they are dupes.    If Snowden pulled this stunt w/ a Repub in office it would be the ongoing daily crisis and embarrassment - which it is.  Not to mention dangerous and a terrible precedent.
Carrying on
Quote
Me: Even then, it was that incident that Obama's approval rating took a hit, both domestically as well as outside. By contrast, what is your opinion of the NSA nowadays on their conduct?

Conservatoons: The dirty secret is that the NSA have be doing it for 30 yrs or more.  Correctly run most people have little to worry.   NSA sucks up everything, looks for anomalies.  You really have to be a standout among trillions of msgs to get the attn of the supercomputer. IMO the danger is that only recently have these agencies been so abused - with  citizens, companies, associations and organizations being specifically targeted.

Me: Yeah, it's ridiculous what the NSA is wasting its resources on, like World of Warcraft and other MMORPGs, unless terrorists are using those or the NSA employees are simply bored (most likely). Your comment "Correctly run most people have little to worry" ironically worries me. Don't people say the same thing about background checks?

Conservatoons: Good pt. My main pt. w/ NSA is that their prob is too much data.    It seems that a very focused look at anyone or anything would/should be the exception unless someone in govt orders it.  And there is prob a record of that.

KZN02: Looking at your work, you don't seem to have much on Snowden or the NSA (save for bin Laden death and another cartoon). You don't find those worth drawing about?

Conservatoons: No.  It is too in the weeds for most.
Now that I look back, does it look like I'm secretly an NSA agent trying to catch him saying something bad about the NSA or something?

Eh... not really.  Not to me anyway.  It would depend on how paranoid a person was about it though.

I've been asked if I was everything from a cop to the CIA. 

I just like asking questions (they weren't even that probing, at least I didn't think so).  Inquiring minds want to know, and all that.

I find this particularly amusing since I was in the military (though Navy, not army) and if anything it helped make me even MORE liberal then I was originally.

Though the military as an institution can be quite conservative, I don't think all of it's members are as much as the cartoonist assumes.

And haven't we had generals testifying before congress we needed better gun control laws and that climate change could become a security issue?

So even as an institution, it has some Liberal kinks.

Yes, regardless of the trope that the military is this stuck up conservative hole, it really isn't. Not compared to a lot of things. It's kind of a tradition considering the fact that the military was actually relatively quick when it came to minorities and women serving (which includes various rights they weren't given outside of the military).

Military history is rather fascinating, tbh.

The only catch being that you have to have the money for the initial outlay which can be problematic if you are living on the edge already.

Of course, my initial reaction was "since when do you give a fuck about the poor anyway?" As we all know, the answer is they don't, they just don't want to spend money on bulbs themselves, economic efficiency be damned.

Correction: it's not on their Facebook page anymore, but it's still on their main page, so in case you want to tie the pic to them, you can find it there.

Asked Conservatoons on this whole thing:

Quote
Me: So, what's your take on the whole incandescent light bulb situation right now?

Conservatoons: I think the market should decide.  I like them.  The others are very expensive up front so if they break or don't work you loose.  Also sometimes you want the heat w/ the light. Frankly, lighting is one of the least drains of elect.  It is like tuning up an old car.  Yeah it helps but it really doesn't make much diff.   Space heating, motors, AC, are the real consumers of residential power.

Me: I see, I've been seeing a lot of people outraged about this, but this was something they should have seen coming back in 2007. However, who knows what will come up in regards to it.

Conservatoons: We could always allow them again.  Sadly, the jobs are gone and plants moved.  It cost companies a lot of money to shift away from incandescent quicker than market forces wanted.  Mostly I just don't think govt has that right.   Obama has proved me wrong.  Not only can it kill normal light bulbs.  It can steal whole car companies and force citizens to buy health insurance - without guaranteeing health care.  Some world these days.

Me: As I said before, we should have seen this coming. Are you familiar with the Energy Security and Independence Act??

Conservatoons: Vaguely.  It forces stupid eco measures upon us.  Hopefully it will be undone when adults return to DC.

Me: For your convenience (http://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/infocus/energy/)

Conservatoons: Yeah, that and Prescription Drug Benny.  Not his greatest hrs.   W was a Big Govt. Republican not a conservative.  Still beats The Big Zero by far though.

I don't think it's a bad political cartoon.   The way I understand it, is there's so many handicapped spaces because... well... that IS an extreme sports emporium... where people do EXTREME stuff that can easily break bones and organs.

EDIT:  Evidently there's a sport where people run with chainsaws strapped to their feet, as per the large mural on the building...

When I said that at RR many moons ago (well, more of the "what about fossils?" without so much the pfthhpppp part), I got the answer:

"They date the ground around the fossils by the fossils, and date the fossils by the ground around them.  They don't really know how old either the ground or the fossils are!"

Allow me to repeat the rebuttal points of SECOTM:
1) There are three unemployed people for every job opening. Saying “Get a job” is about as helpful as yelling “Don’t have cancer!” to people with Leukemia.
2) Michael Ramirez’s job is doing this shit. That’s his contribution to the world. The fact that he thinks he can be so condescending is just staggering.

Nonono, you misunderstand me.  They literally say "magic isn't real" while believing in a being that can only logically exist thru magic.  The disconnect is theirs in that they completely deny the obviously magical machinations of their own deity as being magical, because they don't believe in magic, while simultaneously believing in a god that does magic.  If an act, such as creating light before there's anything to emit said light, can't logically be done inside the framework of science, then it stands to reason that the explanation must therefore rely on magic.

It is incongruous to both hold that there is no magic, while believing in a being whose very existence can only logically be due to magic.  Its not "there's no Wiccan magic" or "there's no Voodoo magic," but "there's no magic, at all."  Yes, this is a phenomenon I've encountered exclusively in the Abrahamic faiths' practitioners.  If one kind of magic exists, then magic exists, in at least one form.

Also, there's no "believing" in aliens.  There are aliens, we simply haven't encountered them, yet, that we know of.  By the Law of Large Numbers: if one event can occur, then if the sample space is large enough, it must be able to happen again.  The universe is incredibly large, and it'd make sense that we're not the only sapient, technological species out there.  Besides, if we were, then the universe would be incredibly boring, no?

Some of the comments that followed

Quote
you people who believe any "Scientific" study you believe are very naïve. Anyone who has taken a statistics course knows that you can design a study to get the results that you want. I don't trust "scientists".

Quote
I actually know a lot about what I am talking about. I don't trust science. Scientists try to disprove that God exists, so I guess so I supposed to believe that too. Science tells me I evolved from monkeys, I don't believe that. Its scientists that are creating these chemicals in labs that are making us sick. So keep trusting science. Make sure that you eat your GMO food, get your vaccines and drink your fluorinated water. Have a good day.

Quote
If correlation doesn't equal causation I am sure you will admit that there is no proof that vaccines caused decline of illness. It is simply an assumption. Dr. Wakefield is nothing but a scapegoat. Recent news articles, however, show that there are more scientists skewing data to get vaccines approved. You might want to look the other direction, Charlie.

That may be what Christians say they believe, but what they really believe is "There's no magic except GAWD!"

Speaking from a former-Christian current-pagan perspective, a lot of what they do is magic, even if they deny it.  I'm not just talking about the liturgical churches such as Catholicism (which is more likely to believe in magic than any other denomination, I think) but also the evangelical churches, such as baptists.

And while this technically doesn't fall under "magic use" (though there's some debate about that), they'll certain use prayer like it's magic.

Incidentally, the closer a fundie was to the "Satanic Panic", the more likely they are to believe in magic, though they tend to view all non-Christian magic as being from Satan, so every witch/voodoo/hoodoo/eastern monk/whatever has made a deal with demons to achieve their magic.

Of course, this is speaking from someone familiar with both the concept of magic as applied in paganistic circles, and someone familiar with how fundies use prayer and faith.  Your mileage may vary.

I'm one of those "only G-d can do magic" believers. I should add that I see holding deities to the laws of physics to be rather silly. If there were other gods, they would also be able to do "magic".

And while this technically doesn't fall under "magic use" (though there's some debate about that), they'll certain use prayer like it's magic.

Incidentally, the closer a fundie was to the "Satanic Panic", the more likely they are to believe in magic, though they tend to view all non-Christian magic as being from Satan, so every witch/voodoo/hoodoo/eastern monk/whatever has made a deal with demons to achieve their magic.

Of course, this is speaking from someone familiar with both the concept of magic as applied in paganistic circles, and someone familiar with how fundies use prayer and faith.  Your mileage may vary.

I'm one of those "only G-d can do magic" believers. I should add that I see holding deities to the laws of physics to be rather silly. If there were other gods, they would also be able to do "magic".

I hold all things to the known laws of the universe and of science.  Science has explained the world in a way that is, for me, much more satisfactory than what one gets with religion, which boils down to "god(s) did it."  Personally, I find it odd that people believe in a being that has yet to objectively prove that it exists, or for whom we've found objective proof of its being.  All "evidence" for gods that I've ever encountered boils down to "I just feel like there is one."  If that's how it is for you, that's all well and dandy, but I honestly...just don't get it.  I only believed in it when I did because I was a child and that's how things were, according to the adults in my life.

Unless proof that reality-bending powers are indeed possible comes to light, then I'll continue to hold so-called gods to the laws of the universe as I understand them.

Yeah, one thing to note as well... calling someone a "political terrorist" means something rather different than calling them an actual "terrorist".

Then again, that's actually expecting some amount of accuracy from them.  Conservatives got pissed over Bashir saying "someone should shit in Palin's mouth" when he said no such thing.  He said that she should experience what it was like to be a black person in slavery (or was it the Jim Crow era?) before she so casually dismisses their experiences.  He mentioned that one such experience was the above.  And of course, conservatives, in their grand, reactionary glory, got pissed off.

And yet they have the gall to get indignant when a fake redneck says something bigoted towards gays and blacks and gets suspended.  Not fired.  Suspended.

I guess this is the closest thread there is to suit what I'm want to post. It's not a comic, but it is political stupidity that was comical.

So I'm sitting in the commons area in one of the building at the college I go to and in front of me are three girls talking and studying. I'd guess they where studying ethics or marketing because I heard one of them mention something about how car dealerships of have American flags and American flags "represent freedom", thereby subconsciously saying that if you buy their cars you'll have more freedom than if you didn't have a car. Sounds like bollucks but whatever. I wasn't really paying attention until I later heard on of them say the actual gem that inspired this post. I'll do my best to quote the comment word for word from memory, but at the very least it's paraphrased close enough.

"In Asia, when you're in the tenth grade, they make you take a test. This test tells you if you'll be a manual laborer, if you get to go to college, and what your job will be for the rest of your life. Russia does the same thing. Your lucky to have it so good here."

The two best parts are that the girl saying this looked to be in her early twenties and appeared to be Asian. See what's wrong with that? One, she was not born, or at least young when the Soviet Union still existed, and two, she should know Asia isn't a single country. She was apparently the "smart girl" as she was helping the other girl study.

This is supposed to be an institution of higher learning I'm sitting in and I'm hearing some of the stupidest shit I've heard in a while that isn't what my grandpa gets emailed from his friends about Obama. You'll like college they said, you won't have to deal with the idiots they said.

Fiscal 2012 review and key strategies

Last year, Walmart delivered a strong financial performance. Net sales increased by 5.9 percent to $443.9 billion, and consolidated operating income grew by 4 percent to $26.6 billion. Our diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Walmart were $4.54 per share, up from $4.18 the previous year. We leveraged operating expenses for two consecutive years. Our strong financial position is best illustrated by our ability to grow. We added 52.2 million square feet through 1,160 additional units, including acquisitions in the U.K. and South Africa.

They can easily afford a major pay raise, full time work weeks, and everything else we've discussed on the forum about Walmart not being a decent company. I bolded that part of the CEO's annual letter to shareholders just to show how business-speak makes nice of keeping labor costs down to the detriment of employees.

So guess what?  I saw an updated version where they subtracted that extra dollar per hour, and they STILL fucked up the math.  Seriously, even with the correction, they're still assuming that all 2 million employees are Americans working 8 hours days, 365 days a year, and earning hourly wages (I do believe some employees are salaried).  This isn't even taking into account the extra income Wal-Mart would get from their employees having more money to spend - as Magus did point out.

To be fair, the figures would be higher than the 30 hour workweek calculations, but that's only because Wal-Mart gives holiday pay that's equal to the person's current wage multiplied by the number of holiday hours they work.  Even so, that's a fraction of the year and a fraction of the workforce.  It also gives said employees more disposable income of which some will be spent at Wal-Mart.

Talked to Conservatoons on this, and I'm beginning to wonder something what he said at the end.

Quote
Me: So what's your take on the bridge incident involving Chris Christie?

Conservatoons: Well, at least 2 folks were fired & he took responsibility.  More than president Big Zero.
Me: True true, but maybe he'll be lucky like his friend and nothing will come out of it in a year or so. Though I do wonder if he could have done anything sooner to have prevented this. Still, what stands out to me is how similar this incident is to Watergate.

Conservatoons: I don't really see a lot of similarity at all.   With Nixon it was the coverup.   So far very little coverup that I can see.    In fact, Obama has punished his enemies and there constituents far more.  Examples are legion.

Me: That wasn't what I was thinking. I believe Nixon was already winning and there was no need for what he was doing, which is same with Christie who already won reelection and there's no need for him to do any sort of payback. Though now that I think about what you said earlier, if Christie gets through this scandal well, this may actually help him politically.

Conservatoons: I am not a Christie fan but if he fire some folks I think he is pretty clean.  Media would be happy to provide those folks w/ a soapbox to smear him.  I could be wrong, but if Dems go down this road, then the IRS TEA Party thing and NSA Spying are in the news again.    Hmmm... Prob better than Obamacare in the news though.

Actually, the Puckle Gun itself was pretty good by the standards of its time.  The problem with it, oddly enough, was bigotry.  You see, it had certain barrels that fired square bullets, to be used against non-Christians.  This detail was what made it a failure.

Just from a quick glance at Wikipedia, as my knowledge of pre-Industrial Revolution firearms is quite limited:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puckle_gun#Two_versions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puckle_gun#Two_versions)
Quote
Puckle demonstrated two versions of the basic design: one, intended for use against Christian enemies, fired conventional round bullets, while the second variant, designed to be used against the Muslim Turks, fired square bullets. The square bullets were considered to be more damaging. They would, according to the patent, convince the Turks of the "benefits of Christian civilization."

"Convert or we'll blow a slightly larger, more ragged hole in your chest."

Interesting side-note, I'd heard of the US Army experimenting with square shot loads for shotguns back during Vietnam with the logic being that they would more effectively cut through foliage but I'm fairly sure they abandoned the concept. I think it was because square shot didn't have proper spread, but don't quote me on that.

Was the shell and barrel also square or was it a square round inside a normal shotgun shell? This reminds me of the dude on youtube who shoots all kinds of weird shit out of his shotgun, usually from suggestion on previous video comments.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1xZ8-XTlrw

I'm not sure if the gummy bears surviving the firing relatively intact is a good thing or bad thing.

Other "innovations" from the Vietnam war include an under barrel attachment for the M16 designed to "sniff out" the odor of human urine and thereby find the enemies. How that worked and why anyone approved the project I have no idea. I think the rocket bullet gun and the triangle cased round came from that era as well. Still not nearly as odd as the iceberg aircraft carrier, pigeon guided cruise missile, or bat bomb that came out of the US during WWII. The only reason the bat bomb didn't see action was because they finished the nuclear bomb before the bat bomb was ready.

It's legal, it's just restricted to hell and back. Rifles like that are collectors items and strictly regulated by the ATF. Also, rounds for those are incredibly rare. I'd rather not have one of those myself because, frankly, I'm not rich enough to be able to shoot it.

Mmm, yes and no. I'll preface this by saying I'm just nosing in here because I enjoy sharing information about an interest of mine.

Your typical musket used in the American Revolution, such as the Brown Bess (used by the British) or the Charleville (used by the Americans) were smooth bore and would be used with under-sized rounds which made them inaccurate, but they still had an effective range of between 50 yards (150 feet) and 100 yards (300 feet). However, the Americans made use of the Longrifle (better known as the Pennsylvania/Kentucky Longrifle) which made use of an elongated barrel of around 4 feet in length as well as being one of the first rifles to commonly use rifling. Their effective range (depending on the experience of the user) was between 100 yards (minimum) to 200+ yards (600 feet). To put this in a little perspective, the military issue back-up iron sight on my AR-15 has a minimum distance setting of 200 meters (656 feet). 50 feet is about the mid to upper range of a typical handgun.

Not necessarily. Depending on what you mean by 'easily blow someone's head off'.

At the time of the Declaration, advances were already being made where guns are concerned. At the time, muskets could also remove a limb, depending on what ammo you were using.

But the discussion has been done to death.

That was an actual argument used against universal sufferage back in the 20's.   What always made me laugh is the inherent implication that if politicians were mainly female, men wouldn't vote for who they though was the most physically attractive;  that's something only women would do.

Obviously I've no statistics I've only got my own annecdotal observations, but I really have to disagree with you there.

Unless you mean on an invididual basis, ie one given shallow woman is equally as shallow as one given shallow man.  In which case yeah probably.  But if we're talking about as a group, on average, then I do have to disagree.

There's so much stupidity in this cartoon, I don't know where to begin.

1. Those are hardly exclusively masculine traits.

2. By the standards of Ancient Greece, Sparta was feminist.

3. Socrates respected women, unlike many of his fellow Athenians.

4. Archimedes was a proponent of educating girls.

5. Testosterone poisoning is just making jokes about over-the-top masculinity.

Testosterone is the sex hormone, as in desire for. It was first discovered in the testes, hence the name. Androgen makes men masculine, physically. Women's bodies  produce testosterone and estrogen. Men's bodies produce testosterone and androgen.

Testosterone and androgen are not separate hormones. An androgen is any hormone that causes the development of male characteristics*, and testosterone is a particularly important androgen.

*This definition is probably inexact, I Am Not A Biologist.**

He'd probably defend it by saying it's not about texting, it's about talking (on the phone).  The reason why driving drunk or high is so dangerous is because being drunk or high impairs your judgement and perception.  Driving while distracted (like talking the phone) also impairs judgement and perception, because your focus isn't completely on the road.  That's why texting and phone chatting in the car is illegal, asswipe (the cartoonist, not anyone here).

Up until the last two sentences, the Strawman is right on the mark. Besides, there is evidence of same-sex love being accepted and even celebrated: even in the Old Testament. Look at the story of Ruth and Naomi, and just try to tell me "Where you go, there shall I go also; where you lodge, there shall I rest my head; your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die, so shall I fall, and I shall be buried beside you"(paraphrased, too lazy to look it up) means something other than "I love you, and I'll prove it." And that's not all: these two women apparently spend the entire rest of their lives together, and even when when Ruth has Obed, it's Naomi's reaction that makes the book, not Boaz'. Yeah, I know, "thye wert fUCKIN and thats why GOD hates TEH GAYYS", but the idea that the only way two people can have a deep romantic relationship is by constantly bumpin' uglies is a pretty sure sign that the person saying that has no real clue how human relationships work.

Personally, I couldn't care less what the bible says. Legal rights shouldn't be affected by what one holy book has to say, particularly when that same holy book insists that slavery is okay, a father can sell his daughter, and disobedient children and people who work on the Sabbath should be stoned to death. Hell, it can't even get objective facts right: Are bats birds? Do rabbits chew their cud? Do insects have four legs? According to the bible, the answer to all of those questions is "yes".

The alleged anti-gay verses were likely poorly-translated injunctions against pederasty & temple prostitution (the later due to sex slavery, not 'Sacred sex is evil'). The ancient forms of Hebrew, Greek & Aramaic are very tricky to translate & I have yet to find a translation that corrects the anti-gay verses.

I know. Suicide bombers cover-up. They don't walk around brazenly showing off their explosive doodads. If they did, a lot of bombing would be prevented before they started.

The 9/11 hijackers just wore boring western street clothes & used box-cutters & the element of surprise.

Timothy McVeigh was white, a US citizen & driving a Ryder moving truck. Should be be scared of buzz-cut white boys in moving trucks?

Basically, it's the (il)logical conclusion of the "why isn't there a WHITE history month/WHITE pride blahblahblah?" line of thought. The cartoonist is trying to point out a perceived double standard in race relations where blackness is celebrated and whiteness is vilified, "conveniently" forgetting that 1) his depiction of the little black girl/black dolls is racist as fuck, and 2) that little kids are more likely to assign special value to an object that stands out from other objects in its set (which is why kids will fight over who gets the red cup/purple toy car/yellow bucket/whatever).

Replace the "Jobs" tattoo with "Insurance Companies", add "Million$ of New Insured$ Premium$" below "Obama Care", lose the heroin cook spoon and replace it with a liquid multivitamin vial, title the cartoon, "A Shot in the Arm".

Okay, fuck it, too much work to fact check/correct that cartoon. Just trash it and start over.

Well, from what I see, it's comparing Affirmative Action to the times when colleges banned people based on religion and ethnicity.  There are plenty of legitimate criticisms of AA, but this is just plain dumb.

Using events from entirely different circumstances from an entirely different era over 70 years ago - ignoring the massive shifts in accepted social, political, moral and ethicall standards since then - as evidence of what the government is up to now.

Militant Muslims and Christians kill for their religion and their beliefs. Stalin, Mao etc did not kill in the name of atheism. They were tyrannical dictators who killed and purged people who decided to oppose them. There have been religious leaders in history who have done the same. In this case it has nothing to do with religious beliefs and more to do with power, fear and control.

According to Google, the definition of a pagan is "someone who doesn't follow one of the mainstream religions."  And that heathen is synonymous.  (I know quite a few heathens and pagans that would disagree but that's apparently the official definition)

At Kratos' time, his religion would have been a mainstream religion :P

Well, up until he killed all the gods, anyways.

And apparently paved the way for Christianity while doing so... ???

I can understand why you would think that.  And you'd probably be right if we were talking about, say, Mussolini or Than Shwe.  However, there's one problem with that theory.  These people were communists, and communism is, by nature, opposed to religion.  Marx himself called religion "the opiate of the masses".

And even if the persecution of religion was just a cynical ploy to hold on to their power, that doesn't change the fact that millions bought into it.  If it turned out that Osama bin Laden had been a hypocrite the whole time, it wouldn't have made his followers any less fanatical.

Am I saying Atheism is inherently evil?  Of course not.  What I'm saying is that Atheism cannot claim any inherent moral superiority, any more than Christianity or Islam.
Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons
Post by: mellenORL on February 14, 2014, 04:24:10 pm
If the cartoon had depicted an Islamic dictator, and not an individual fanatic terrorist, a Christian dictator, and not an individual fanatic terrorist, you could then correctly cite an atheist dictator in your argument, UP.

However, that is not what the cartoon depicted. It showed three individuals of three different belief/nonbelief sets, not three government dictators. The only possible example I can think of for atheist terrorists would maybe be an "anarchist" bomber of the early twentieth. However, I don't know if there is any reliable info as to whether all of those "anarchists" Were actually anarchists (it was a buzzword label for any terrorist back then), and certainly don't know if any of them identified as atheists...

You're right, in that atheism cannot claim any moral superiority because it is simply the lack of belief in god, so there isn't a set of morals attached to atheism by default. But a ton of atheists, agnostics, humanists certainly CAN claim moral superiority to a group that believes that if you cross their vengeful god you will be sent to hell to be tortured forever.

Do you know what he meant by "opiates of the masses?"
Here's the actual quote.

"Religious distress is at the same time the expression of real distress and the protest against real distress. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness. The demand to give up the illusion about its condition is the demand to give up a condition which needs illusions."
Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right

A criticism of religion? Yeah, but what he was basically saying is that due to economic woes the masses being the down trodden, the poor and the unwealthy, turn to religion for solace. He's not necessarily saying down with religion, but saying that it shouldn't be a crutch for people to lean on during tough times. Marx, of course wanted everyone to be equal, if everyone wasn't suffering they wouldn't rely on just their religion to get out of it and maybe actually, do something.

That's certainly true.  On the other hand, there are a number of religious people who can claim moral superiority over atheists.  Giuseppe Garibaldi can certainly claim moral superiority over Tomas de Torquemada, but on the other hand, Pope Francis can claim moral superiority over Leon Trotsky.

I didn't know the context.  You learn something new every day.  However, that doesn't change the fact that communism has frequently been opposed to religion.  Look at the Soviet repression of the Russian Orthodox Church, or Hoxa expelling religious leaders, or Pol Pot sending the religious to die in the killing fields.

By the way, there have been a number of atheist terrorist groups.  Most of them were anarchist or communist, and they mostly existed in the Americas and Eurasia.  While it's true that promoting atheism was not their primary agenda, they did commonly target religion.

...and? They still weren't doing it for atheism. The point of the cartoon is that atheism by itself doesn't inspire people to murder; pointing out how communism can inspire people to murder is missing the point.

Also, religious communists exist, and opposition to religion is not exactly synonymous with atheism, but that's just nitpicking.

Atheism is just the lack of belief in a God. It has no moral tenets or religious Dogma to follow. Atheists are not a unified group, and they do not worship anyone.  Communist leaders in a sense were creating their own religion based on a cult of personality where their people pretty much had to worship their leader and the state. If they didn't they were put to death or exiled. See Stalinism, (which isn't communism) and Juche. In part Communist leaders were motivated by the love of themselves, and the power and the control it forced on their own people.

Yeah, Jesus certainly said some nice things, but the God of the Bible was a tyrannical murderer who demands that all shall worship no one but him, with a special place for people to be tortured forever (even Jesus said shitty things, ex: Luke 14:26) and people still worship that deity and think he/she/it deserves the worship.

I'm sorry but I don't think I can get past the "nice stuff" in the bible. Perhaps it's best we no longer worship fire.

They both look like happy families to me.

Not every family has the time to make breakfast in the morning. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Has it ever occurred to these bozos that maybe some don't have a "Home Breakfast Program" because they don't have anything to make breakfast with?

I'm with you, The Doctor. Crappy propagandist. The top one could easily be a Progressive cartoon saying (they're both the same & loving). Maybe if he made the gay couple a pair of rejects from The Birdcage or Tom Of Finland artwork who are leering at the kids in icky fashion it might pass for Far-Right stupidity.

The second one, however, misses the point. Some families are too busy and/or too poor.

Actually, if I remember correctly, Gandhi complained about Britain forcibly disarming its Indian subjects.  And according to the Huffington Post, MLK was also opposed to gun control.

Quote
Most people think King would be the last person to own a gun. Yet in the mid-1950s, as the civil rights movement heated up, King kept firearms for self-protection. In fact, he even applied for a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

A recipient of constant death threats, King had armed supporters take turns guarding his home and family. He had good reason to fear that the Klan in Alabama was targeting him for assassination.

William Worthy, a journalist who covered the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, reported that once, during a visit to King's parsonage, he went to sit down on an armchair in the living room and, to his surprise, almost sat on a loaded gun. Glenn Smiley, an adviser to King, described King's home as "an arsenal."

It should be remembered that back then, "gun control" all too often equated to "black control".  MLK was denied a concealed-carry permit for no reason other than the color of his skin.

Say, if we want to pass some gun control then all we need to do is convince the NRA that black people will own guns.

In all seriousness, I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here, Ultie. No, not everyone who dislikes Obama is racist, but a fair portion of them are. The perception of Obama as a bad president or a bad person gives racists and people who benefit from racism lots of scandal fodder (such as the manufactured outrage that ensued when a Marine held his umbrella during a speech or the various pictures floating around claiming he refused to cover his heart during the national anthem when " Hail to the Chief" is playing).

You could reasonably say those are legitimate criticisms, yes.  However, you also have some stuff that is complete bollocks.  Look at all those bullshit conspiracy theories about how he "stole" either of his elections.  Look at the morons who compared him to Hitler.  Look at the idiots who claim he lied about Iraqi WMDs (before you say anything, there's a big, big difference between being incorrect and being dishonest).  And let's not forget that much of the economic crisis can be blamed on Reagan and Clinton, but somehow he got the lion's share of the blame.  Bush was far from perfect, but he wasn't the monstrous ignoramus you claim him to be.  Face it, as much as you would like to pretend, Democrats are not above the simplistic neo-tribalism that seems to characterize far too much of modern politics.

I'm going to have to agree with Paragon.  Doubly so because if someone's black or a woman and is a Republican, it's fucking open season on them.  Double standards, and all that shit.

"Remember, it's only okay to criticize people if they're not part of my political party or don't share my views." Alternatively, "You can only criticize someone if you're in the same party as them!"

Does this mean some of the more stupid/sensationalized criticisms of Obama are automatically justified?  Of course not.  Does it mean there are no racists in the Republican party?  Hell no!  Thing is, when someone says something stupid about the President, there are often better ways to attack it/write it off than to just say "Oh, you're just a racist so I'm automatically not going to listen to you."

Yeah, that's one thing that must be pointed out.  Not every conservative woman is Phyllis Schlafly, and while I may disagree with Herman Cain on a lot of things, there's no evidence that he's a self-loathing black man.  Out of touch with racial issues, yes, but not self-hating.

For the first time in my life, I agree with something Ultimate Paragon said.

The general consensus is that Bush may possibly have stolen the 2000 election but definitely won in 2004. And yet a lot of people, including some members of this forum (or former members from the old days) insisted that Bush definitely stole the 2000 election and almost certainly stole the 2004 one as well. And they treated it as though it was absolute fact.

Well, where's your evidence?  If Dubya did lie about the WMDs, you'd think it would be the biggest presidential scandal since Watergate. 

There was a book called "Sexed Up", I believe, about this very topic. Valerie Plame's (heavily redacted) book also covers it in detail. There have been numerous documentaries. The basic facts that we know are that the CIA repeatedly told the Bush administration that a variety of its claims were bullshit. Those claims were made anyway. The agency and other espionage agencies - for instance, the German secret service, the Australian Secret Intelligence Organisation, ect- knew perfectly well that Iraq did not have WMDs. The Bush administration didn't care, because it made a better justification than petroleum.

Now, as to why this wasn't the biggest scandal since Watergate; among serious citizens it was regarded as a very serious scandal. Unfortunately, the American system of government is run largely by buffoons, and also that the system is neatly rigged. If a Democrat - say, Obama - had done anything of the sort, he'd have been impeached, convicted, shot and systematically excised from history within two days. Bush won an election.

Quote
Bush was far from perfect, but he wasn't the monstrous ignoramus you claim him to be.

It would be quite hard to find an elected executive anywhere in the world that was as vicious, ignorant, hubristic and ultimately disastrous as the Bush administration. I don't think there was a single area of policy that they didn't both deliberately corrupt and accidentally fuck up in equal measure at least fifty million times. They couldn't even order around rescue choppers without fucking it up, blaming someone else and trying to profit politically.
I agree, Bush fucked up more than is acceptable.  However, there were a number of elected regimes that were just as bad, if not worse.
-Silvio Berlusconi [/quote]

Yeah, okay. I'll give you old Silvio was pretty bad.

Quote
-Hugo Chavez

Nah.

Quote
-Vladimir Putin
-Robert Mugabe
-Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

Let's drop the speculation and look at the facts.
-Saddam was being very vague about whether he had WMDs
-He refused to allow UN inspectors to look around
-He was a monstrous brute, so it would be hard to put it past him

Bush made assumptions that turned out to be false, but could you blame him?  And if Iraq was done for oil, then where was the plundered petrol?  Where were the exclusive contracts with Halliburton?  Where is any hard evidence?

By the way, Hugo Chavez was a disaster for Venezuela.  I know, because there's a family who lives down the street from me who are refugees from his rule.  He may not have been a dictator in the traditional sense, but he was a massive prick.

-He sponsored terrorism in Colombia.
-He squandered a trillion dollars of oil money on propping up moribund communist and theocratic dictatorships, as well as pointless vanity projects.
-He took almost complete control of the Venezuelan media.
-He used his cronies in the justice system to persecute his political opponents.
-He destroyed the Venezuelan economy.
-Thanks to him, crime in Venezuela is at an all-time high.
-Because of his incompetence and bullying, basic commodities are in short supply.

I could go on, but I won't.

Going back to the original debate, I'd like to point out that, while all politicians are subjected to over-the-top attacks and that none of them should be beyond criticism, it's extraordinarily difficult to believe that some (not all) of the attacks on Obama (the birther movement moving into the mainstream, people whining about his name being foreign-sounding, etc.) aren't racial in nature. Does that mean that every single person who criticizes Obama is racist? Of course not. What is does mean is that his race has almost certainly influenced the perception a significant number of people hold of him, which should be viewed as a very, very bad thing regardless of whether or not you actually like the guy.

I've yet to see a legitimate reason for conservatives to hate Obama cited by a conservative. All of their criticisms are either lies - Debt! Taxes! Benghazi! - or bullshit - We suddenly don't like Guantanamo! We hate that you haven't done anything about the recession, like we demanded! Okay, so if they don't have any legitimate reason to hate Obama, and they hate Obama, there must be some other emotionally powerful reason for the hate. I'm not ruling out the probability that many have been conned by propaganda, but I think racism is a bit part of it as well.
Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons
Post by: The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist on February 18, 2014, 03:16:42 am
Eh. It seems most reasonable to assume that both racism and double-think based on party lines are playing a role here. As hard as it to believe that we'd be seeing so many people yapping about Obama's birth certificate and him being a secret Muslim if he were white, it's equally hard to believe that they wouldn't still be shitting themselves over "Obamacare", Gitmo, taxes, etc. to some degree regardless of race. Neither motivation is mutually exclusive.

ETA: Of course, that's an assessment of the overall population. When you get down to the individual, you're going to find a fair number of people whose motivations swing mostly or entirely in one direction or the other.

What's amusing are the top comments on this:

Quote
Happened to me. Lost my business, lost my pay. I cried my eyes out when I had to ask for assistance. My pride makes me embarrassed every time I go to a store. I'm blessed to have loved ones that help me while I am constantly looking for a job. I even took a job that pays me
Only $250 after taxes, but still can't afford food. I used to judge, but I'm one of those people with a nice phone and nice clothes. Never thought in my life I would be in this situation, especially as a mother. It's heartbreaking. You never know.
Anyone can lose everything with just one job loss.

Quote
From someone who has foodstamps let's clear something up real quick. I have a coach purse and wallet (got for Christmas but I know it was bought from the coach outlet which is much cheaper), iPhone 4S that I've had since I worked and since went to straight talk and sold the husbands iphone to make the monthly $45 payment, I have my nails and hair done ( received gift certificates for both including the tips from family for Christmas as well and won't be getting them redone as we can't afford it!) I drive a van with 360,000 miles on it. My kids have nice clothes because we get them from children's thrift stores. While I know that there are people that abuse the system, before you're so quick to judge you might want to get the whole back story. So please go ahead an judge me when I'm buying my food with my food card because of this and it will make YOU look stupid not me!

I feel like it's a promising sign against Liberal Logic 101.

You know, I have a friend originally from Iraq.  His family fled Saddam's rule in the 90s.  He saved a little boy from drowning.  He volunteers at a soup kitchen.  He gives a fifth of his salary to charity.  And in the aftermath of 9/11, he was attacked by a group of brutes just because he's a Muslim.  Thankfully, he managed to escape, but he called it one of the most harrowing experiences of his life.  Go ahead.  Tell him Muslims are evil and deserve to be mistreated.

Yeah, probably.  Then again I'm sure these people don't really pride themselves on things like "careful word choice/order" for the sake of unambiguity.  It should probably read something like "piece-of-fecal-matter 'policy'" or whatever.

Eh, he probably thinks the people that don't denounce it are "shit" too, although that doesn't necessarily refer to race either.  Doesn't make the comment any less rabid/stupid/insane either way.  I'd wager you ask them why they hate Obamacare and you'd get nothing but Republican talking points, regardless of whether there's any legitimate merit.

I'm also going to add the suggestion that maybe it has something to do with the fact that she's quite tall.  I've met people who would dismiss a woman as being ugly for simply being unusually tall, regardless of the rest of her physical appearance.

But they say they're not racist.

Along with the obvious "Blacks Are Apes" B.S. what's with folks and their bizarre hallucinatory view of Michelle Obama?

WE SEE: A elegant, beautiful, well-dressed, intelligent, graceful, sweet, stylish lady full of grace & poise.

THEY SEE: A horrifyingly butt-ugly reject from a blaxploitation film who's 5000 pounds & talks like Mushmouth from Fat Albert and rife with body odor & horrible fashion sense......or a large furry cryptid.

It's very easy to convince yourself of something it is convenient to believe.

I'm also going to add the suggestion that maybe it has something to do with the fact that she's quite tall.  I've met people who would dismiss a woman as being ugly for simply being unusually tall, regardless of the rest of her physical appearance.

And by "people" I of course mean "wankers".
It works the other way, too.  There are a lot of people who think short men are ugly.

If it's the former, it's as outdated as it is really weird.

That is Bush & Condi.  I saw it on a blog entry that only updated this week, so I assume Pat's finally gone so senile he thinks Bush is still the president.

Also, why isn't it "worst" if it is them?  Are you saying it's okay to be racist if it's against a conservative?

No. Bigotry is wrong no matter what. I just see Condi as a parrot as being more insulting in the same manner as "this person is a puppet of another person". However, Condi is given big lips which certainly would be wrong on so many levels.

Oliphant has apparently been the victim of a wookalar attack. Darn wereboar sucked the cartoonist's brains out of his nose!

And why 3 million illegal immigrants per year?  Perhaps it's because navigating the labyrinth of paperwork that is the immigration process takes forever?  Maybe we should streamline this process, perhaps hire more agents to take care of people who wish to live here and make something better in this country.

Something like that. The official statistic is something like 700,000 per year, but some people argue that this number is fake and so they tried to run an independent estimate which as far as I can tell relies on taking how many illegal immigrants are caught in the Mexican border and then multiplying it by the border patrol estimate of how many get away. The 3 million number in particular I think comes from this TIME article (http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,995145,00.html?iid=chix-sphere) which is paywalled so I can't check how they got their numbers.

It all definitely sounds like an elaborate way of pulling numbers out of one's ass, or possibly an error in interpreting the numbers, but I can't check the numbers so I don't know.

It came from the same place almost everything in this thread came from: some moron pulled it out of his ass and now we all have to deal with the resulting stupid.

Something like that. The official statistic is something like 700,000 per year, but some people argue that this number is fake and so they tried to run an independent estimate which as far as I can tell relies on taking how many illegal immigrants are caught in the Mexican border and then multiplying it by the border patrol estimate of how many get away. The 3 million number in particular I think comes from this TIME article (http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,995145,00.html?iid=chix-sphere) which is paywalled so I can't check how they got their numbers.

It all definitely sounds like an elaborate way of pulling numbers out of one's ass, or possibly an error in interpreting the numbers, but I can't check the numbers so I don't know.

TIME magazine?! My, how the mighty have fallen!

Yeah, TIME and Newsweek both - rotting zombie shells of their former reliable selves.

Also, as to the illegal immigration number crunching; whichever way you want to compile that data, keep in mind that a large percentage are going to be the same people, year after year, trying to come through to get seasonal labor jobs in agriculture and to try their luck getting hired during the annual labor demand spike in construction trades every spring.

About TIME & Newsweek (and educational TV channels-turned-aliens & unreality-fests). I'd imagine they were bought out by guys like Murdoch & Viacom. They're messing with them on purpose. They have an agenda. They want a nation of idiots.

Rupert Murdoch has a reverse-Midas Touch, everything he touches turns to garbage.

Jews aren't white according to these nimrods.

And the "rotten whites" will be eliminated via the race-mixing--the goal is not to sterilize white people, but rather to have every single one marry a black, or an Asian, or a Latino, or whatever.

And they harp on the old adage that if on your big first dinner date, the lady orders a lobster entrée, she's obligated to fuck you. Dream on.

Having seen many big first dates at the fine dining restaurants I've worked at over the years (I also co-owned a small bistro), I can tell you for a fact that splitting the bill is much more common than the folklore surrounding the event would imply. Try, 75% of the time, the couple each pay at least a portion, such as the wine and drinks, if they don't just split it down the middle. And I've witnessed women pick up the entire tab on Valentine's Day, too. When I worked at a steakhouse (Morton's), women very often picked up the bill because they brought their male date there as a surprise treat.

If it's past week 10, the fetus is large enough that if using a suction cannula/ scalpel, there will be recognizable limbs and other body parts,  and it is gruesome even though the parts are very tiny. No doctor performing this procedure is going to be completely immune to queasiness, at least below the professional detachment persona they are all trained to have. The important thing to remember is that the fetus simply does not have the nervous system and brain development in these early stages to experience anything that would qualify as actual pain, and regardless, it has been anesthetized prior to the procedure so that reflexive wriggling is dampened and thereby making the operation safer for the woman, too.

Also, I find it laughable that an actual OB/GYN who performs abortions would say that he turns to cocaine use to deal with it all. How come? Does he toot up prior to procedures? Cause ya don't do blow to ease anxiety. It's no doubt just another Lie for Jezuz and the Babbys.

As far as I can tell Eric Harrah is not a doctor and did not perform abortions. If you google his name you'll find a bunch of pro-life websites where they call him a former abortion clinic owner or manager. Also the moving story about how he was convinced to become pro-life by a protester, and also apparently converted to Christianity and abandoned his homosexuality. Not sure how much of it is true, too lazy to find out.

In regards to Waco, while I agree that the ATF was careless (to say the least) that goofy cult pretty much brought it on themselves.

Other than that, a giant kaiju monster that looks like an ugly man with a schnozz is pretty goofy.

That chart doesn't show the unemployment rate.  The highest unemployment rate under Obama was 9.9 percent, which happened in November of 2009.  Whoever made that chart is either stupid, lying, or both.

Here is the real unemployment timeline from the exact same source:  http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/UNRATE (http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/UNRATE)

Oh, and the unemployment rate during the Depression was well over 20 percent.  Saying that Obama oversaw Depression-era levels of unemployment is grossly inaccurate.  Saying Reagan-era levels would be more accurate (unemployment peaked at 10.8 percent in December 1982, the highest that it has been since the Depression).

The graph that conservativeamericans.org only excludes active duty military personnel and people who are imprisoned.  The unemployment rate should also exclude everybody who isn't actively seeking a job, such as retired people, full time students, disabled people, homemakers, and so on.  It's entirely possible that it's real (though I couldn't find it either), but even if it is, it is extremely misleading, as it includes people who are not even part of the labor force.

Very true, but that's not the issue here.  As flawed as the definition of unemployment is, it still has a real definition that actually means something.  When they claim that there is a 44.5% unemployment rate, their intention is clearly to mislead people.  If they were being honest, they could have showed this chart (http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/U6RATE), which combines the unemployed; the underemployed; and people who are want jobs and are capable of working, but haven't actively looked in the past four weeks.

This more reasonable unemployed/underemployed measurement still only peaked at 17.2 percent, which is about 2/3 of the Great Depression level unemployment (and unemployment alone) that the cartoon claimed existed.

So he is not angry over the cosplayers wearing Nazi uniforms, he is angry because they aren't nazis.

I don't think UP meant VW could sue over the veracity of the Hitler connection, nor do I think he was questioning the veracity of that connection (he never said anything to indicate that so I'm a bit confused as to why you think that) I think he meant more that they could - or at least should be able to - sue over the whole "unauthorised use of your company's name and logo for racist propeganda" issue.  I'm pretty sure a good lawyer could find something to sue for in that picture.

This is so lazy and stupid and bloated with ad hominem, it's pissing me off.

Tell me, how many vets work at fast food restaurants? Answer; a lot more than you'd think, because vets just don't get hired at their military specialties, since most of those don't translate readily to the civilian work place.

Also, WTF does getting shot at in a war zone, when you signed up and got trained and armed for that as a soldier, have to do with companies paying a living wage?

And also, lot of fast food workers have been threatened at gunpoint because those restaurants make a lot of small cash sales, and the crooks know their tills are full of fucking cash. So, they DO get shot at, and they don't even have a weapon or training to defend themselves with.

Apparently he tried out for the Patriots, was cut before the 2013 season, and was then hired by ESPN as a college football analyst.

He's one of those players who couldn't make the leap from the college game to the professional game--he won two national championships at Florida (both times with Florida also winning the SEC championship), and a Heisman to go with the first one, and plenty of other awards, but at the professional level he only really had one decent stretch in 2011 with the Broncos, and then they got Peyton Manning, Tebow went to the Jets and all the fundies started raving about how he was being benched because the team was biased against Christians or something.

i know that some people love the feel of the bass pounding like that, someone that I knew once said it almost feels like having a massage but I already have an aversion to loud noises despite being hearing impaired.

Yep! The federal party dropped the "progressive" a bunch of years back, but Ontario at least (and I think at least a few other provinces) still have a provincial Progressive Conservative party. Even in grade five I thought that was an oxymoron, and that was back when I thought conservatives would be the types to care about CONSERVing the environment, so shows what I know, eh?

The names of political parties/movements can be weird. E.g. "liberal" and "libertarian" are basically the same word (etymologically derived from "liberty").
Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons
Post by: dpareja on June 22, 2014, 12:14:49 am
To expand on the matter, what had happened was that around the end of WWII, the Progressive Party and the Conservative Party were both in dire electoral straits, to the point where the Conservatives couldn't even get anyone to be the party leader. So they asked the leader of the Progressive Party to be their leader and merge the two parties; he agreed on the condition that the parties' names be merged as well. Hence, the Progressive Conservative Party.

Much later, in the 1988 election, a protest party, the Reform Party, ran candidates in Western Canada. They didn't win any seats, but they did pick up a by-election later in that Parliament. In 1993 they completely supplanted the Progressive Conservatives in the West. Between the 1997 and 2000 elections the Reform Party changed its name to the Canadian Alliance in an attempt to lure PC MPs to them; it didn't really work and after the 2000 election the parties merged outright to form the Conservative Party (originally the Conservative Reform Alliance Party, and they've lived up to the acronym). This made some MPs jump ship to the Liberal Party, while a few others sat as independents for the remainder of that Parliament.

As I recall, the Progressive Conservatives liked to bill themselves as "fiscally conservative, socially progressive".

Even if there were no "white colored" people on Earth anymore, many people who are nowadays considered "darker skinned" have Caucasian ancestors, meaning white people cannot go extinct unless all the other so called races also go extinct too.

Reminds me of a scene from Days of Future Past, where Bolivar Trask talks about how the humans supplanted Neanderthals, and being an OCD trivia nerd, I wanted to shout at the screen that modern humans are Neanderthals, sorta. Many of us have Neanderthal DNA, meaning their line never really died out.

R. Crumb was extremely famous and popular for his adult humor comic books back in the '60's and '70's. I think he's just another old counter culture icon who's turned bigot and/or fundie in his elder years.

I agree, and I say as as a bona-fide fat person, myself. Frumpy, too....can't even attempt to look well-pressed & "political leaderish". A frump with a poorly worn suit, loose collar & tie, disheveled with an expression like *blloouueeehhh*.

And he's so big & pink, he would be right at home floating above Battersea Power Station.

I'd love to know what the fine folks of Toronto saw in this guy to vote him in, he doesn't even look like he's fully-functioning.

How many people actually want a white minority?  Very few, I'd imagine.

I am going to bet that that comic has been copied from something else. I swear I've seen that "joke" done for something else, I think it was used at least in one "I'm not racist but-" "SSSHHH! Don't finish that sentence" comic. Also, it might be that it was drawn directly onto another comic. Not certain about that but at least the poses look similar to the one I had seen earlier.

Anti-Racist is a codeword for Anti-Racist!

(not defending the cartoon or making any sort of point re: banning pitbulls)

People have no idea of what small dogs are capable of if sufficiently provoked, poorly bred (or properly bred but in the wrong environment), and/or poorly handled.

Let's take the Jack Russell Terrier. They are energetic, intelligent, playful, and just generally fun dogs. Once trained, they enthusiastically do as they're told. This breed is a very expressive people-lover. That's the good side.

The bad side? They're terriers! They are bred to kill rodents and other small animals (not bad in working lines, but a real problem in others), and they end up in vet hospitals ALL THE DAMN TIME for attacking larger dogs. Their exercise needs are pretty high, even for an athletic owner, and become very destructive if not exercised. JRTs are well-known as escape artists, are infamously difficult to train, and terrible with small children (because they are highly reactive, rather impatient, and respond right away to a 'threat' or 'prey'- in other words, they are biters and in some cases maulers). These dogs have injured (and killed!) children and pets, even those they've known their whole lives.

Are all JRTs, or indeed are all terriers this way? Is owning one like having a time bomb in your house, or a tiger? No, but if we're talking about one with behavioral issues, this is usually what comes up in that type of dog.

Guess what? Pit bulls are really big terriers, with the added bonus of being really popular with exactly the kind of person who shouldn't own any kind of animal.

(No, I don't believe in banning breeds... But potential pit bull owners had better be prepared for that terrier personality -good and bad!- or it's not going to be pleasant for anyone).

NotAllMen, as an argument, has a simple explanation, though. Namely, that the person replying feels personally offended for one reason or another, and wants to clarify that not all men do action X, or more specifically, that they don't do action X. It's an argument of self-defence, basically. Is it a poor argument to bring up?

Why is so hard to understand simple concepts like #YesAllWomen talking about things that virtually every woman has to deal with just because she's a woman and #NotAllMen being a reactionary bit of bullshit that derails the conversation and tries to make it about men, which is PART OF THE FUCKING PROBLEM.

NotAllMen, as an argument, has a simple explanation, though. Namely, that the person replying feels personally offended for one reason or another, and wants to clarify that not all men do action X, or more specifically, that they don't do action X. It's an argument of self-defence, basically. Is it a poor argument to bring up? Absolutely, since no one is accusing them of doing action X, except as a generalized class of people, i.e. men, that is understood by the person making the argument to not include every member of that class. Unfortunately, the understanding is not shared by the "defender". ...Unless someone actually is accusing that person of doing action X, whatever it might be. Then explaining that they don't do action X is relevant.

Which is why I call it reactionary bullshit. The idiots who use #NotAllMen feel insulted because they feel like they're being accused when if they would think about it for a few seconds, they'd realize that they aren't being accused of anything. It relates to #YesAllWomen because it was a response to that tag and all it did, intentionally or not, is try to derail the conversation that #YesAllWomen was supposed to start.

As we know, there have never been any creative African-Americans. Nah

I also like that, apparently, racists are such dumb-fuck morons that they really ought the watermelon scam, which was an explicit fabrication by the Klan. Is there any group, ever, that has been as easy to scam through affinity fraud as Southern white conservatives? How much money has their ignorance, bigotry and aggressive stupidity cost them? A billion dollars over the last decade? More? Sarah Palin's entire career nowadays is essentially a snake-oil salesperson defrauding Southerners of their hard-won.

Plenty of countries allow gays to serve, and their militaries are doing fine. Please don't start flaming, but Israel allows gays to serve, and their military does just fine. The fundies wouldn't deny that.

Also, even those gay individuals who happen to be pedophiles probably wouldn't flaunt it. Just saying.

In many ways it is reasonable to view it as a sideshow since it amounts to little more than a French ally attacking a British colony during a much larger conflict. In WW1 or 2 it would have just been considered another theatre of operations.

A lot of culturally significant moments are only significant to one culture and to the rest of the world they are barely significant blips on the radar. Vimy Ridge would be another good example. Outside Canada it is just part of the Battle of Arras but to us it ranks up there with D-Day.

I think it is a reference to Idris Elba being cast as Heimdall in the Thor movies. Because having a black actor play an alien based on a cartoon character slightly inspired by norse legends is an evil multiculturalist plot to destroy the aryan race.

And honestly, how many people still complain about interracial scenes in movies?! The only ones who complained about a black actor kissing a white actress in Iron sky were yankees (they didn't mind the blood and gore or space nazis from the moon but interracial relationships are TOO HOT FOR AMERICA!) and I don't think I've even heard any Finnish racists complaining about movies with interracial couples.

Well, the white woman in question was a prime example of pure, blond, Aryan genetic stock. It is obvious that the Jewish conspiracy funded this movie in order to spit in the eye of the proud white race warriors and spread the multicultural propaganda by having the negroid subhuman debase this symbolism of purity.

There's an argument to be made that, yes, most of the things animals do are wrong, to the extent that the concept can be applied to their behaviour.

The extent to which the bread and wine actually constituted the body and blood of Jesus was a fairly significant issue in the Reformation, and Luther, Calvin, and the Catholic Church all had different perspectives on it.
Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons
Post by: Witchyjoshy on September 11, 2014, 03:51:20 pm
*trivia* From what I recall from my days as a Christian (both pentecostal and episcopalian), Catholics believe in a "literal" transformation (that is, they don't believe it ACTUALLY becomes flesh and blood, because obviously it doesn't, but they believe it happens on a ... I hate to use this word, metaphysical level), Lutherans believe it is simply a spiritual transformation, and Episcopalians are somewhere in between.

Considering how hung up the Jesus of the Bible got on saying that people should eat his flesh and drink his blood (including when some disciples left over that), the evangelical blabbering about how it's symbolic actually doesn't line up with the mythology.

Then again, Evangelicals try to take all the fun parts of the mythology out anyways because they don't want to seem like those dirty witchcraft-using Catholics.

If I had to speculate, I'd say "Jewish" implies a characteristic: a Jewish banker or a Jewish carpenter is a person who is Jewish among other things. Jew is an identity in itself: you can just say "a Jew", nothing else. And so, if you are an antisemite* and want to suggest that Jewish people are a fundamentally different species rather than a variation within humanity, you use Jew rather than Jewish.

The same pattern appears in racism in general. Racial slurs are usually nouns; you call someone a <slur> rather than a <slur>-ish person.


*or should I say "an antisemitic person"?

I get it. It's like how a bigot would describe a black person as "a black" like the latter person was a space alien or something.

...Well Bob, that is the goddamn point! Alfred Nobel invented dynamite so that he could save lives in the mining industry and seeing it used for warfare and killing people is what made him start the Noble prizes. So that his money could be used to help mankind. And also because he did not want to be remembered as the man who only made weapons (Not that dynamite was ever meant to be used as a weapon.)

...But I suppose I really should not expect political cartoonists these days to have any kind of general knowledge.

I agree 100%. As a woman & a feminist, I feel it really should be addressed. It also galls me how folks come to modern societies, commit these murders, then are shocked & surprised that they get arrested!

I'm not some goober who says "You must integrate completely and become like us in every way! We are the Western Collective! You WILL BE ASSIMILATED! RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!" but I do feel that an immigrant should re-adapt their cultural ways in some areas to conform or match the new culture.

If you now live in a more progressive culture where women and girls have autonomy, active social/sex lives and work as scientists & cops, you should relax your views about the "lady sex" and be smart enough not to kill a girl due to "family dishonor" which does not exist in that society! Those Brits, Americans, Canadians, etc. DON'T care if your daughter's independent (sexist MPM types & ChristoFrums notwithstanding)! There's no shame on her family!


....exactly who in the British media is saying that nationalist white people are the cause of everything bad?
That's how strawmen work, my friend.


What bigots don't get is.....Liberals loathe that kooky "Honor Killing, Wahhabi, I.S./Al Qaeda/etc." as much as they do! Our defending of Muslims is not about defending crazies! Out defending Muslims is about recognizing that MOST MUSLIMS ARE NOT MANIACS & THAT EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO RELIGIOUS FREEDOM (and Freedom From Religion as well)!

Don't know what UK flag protocols are, but US codes only forbid cutting up and making clothes out of actual US flags. Using the stars and stripes pattern or even an accurate depiction of a flag in silk screening or material weave to produce clothes is fine.

Acting like you're some kind of evolved sophisticated superwoman because you're not like *~those breeders~* is just another kind of misogyny.

Its a stupid, yet understandable, reaction to the fact that if a woman (or man, though to an admittedly lesser extent) decides she doesn't want children, then she's either treated like a child ("Oh, its just a phase, you'll grow up some day."), like an insane person ("Who doesn't want children?!"), or like a complete, raving loon of a monster ("You just hate children and want them all to die, don't you?").  Thing is, there's more of them than us and it appears (I know its not actually like this, so don't get your knickers in a wad, folks) like every single motherfucker with a squealing sprog throwing a shit-fit because they aren't getting a specific, typically gloriously overpriced, toy has some "choice words" about men and women who don't want one of those vile, vomitous little cretins in our lives.  Let's not forget the extreme denial some folks parents go into when their fully grown, adult of a spawn tells them they don't want kids of their own.  At least I was lucky in that regard, my dad doesn't really care either way, and my mum both accepts and fully supports my decision, especially given that it came after several years of careful consideration.

PROTIP: People that don't want kids, unless they themselves ARE children, have usually thought shit out.  Maybe they don't want to pass along some congenital condition, like how I have a family history of laughable mental health and, oh, god damned brain cancer that killed my maternal grandmother.  Maybe they want to be able to take a week off work and spend it in the tropics or something without having to worry about bringing a creature along whose immune system may still be developing, or having to work out the logistics of hiring a nanny for that long.  In short, keep your shite opinions to yourselves and bugger right the hell off.  Thank you.

Here is my counter-argument: 1990s Andrea Dworkin. If anything, there isn't enough. From stupid evil transphobia to the criminally bad postmodernist writing style she needed to develop to defend it, Dworkin (and Greer, nowadays) is a great example of how a serious, important thinker can be driven mad by being left behind by progress.

I think the message is quite simple. I think that this is a re-drawn version of some other comic with a similar theme of "A accuses B of being something that A is."

In this particular comic the implication is that the tumblr-feminazies are ugly and fat while the Stormfront neo-nazis are skinny and possibly good looking. ...Or perhaps just average looking, hard to say from so simplistic art style. Either way, clearly the artist is trying to say that Stormfront users are not (or at least all of them aren't) "fat neckbeard virgins" like the straw-woman is saying.

And this could just be a troll image done by a random troll who wanted to troll feminists rather than by a neo-nazi.

You may recall that back when Obama first campaigned for President, Time Magazine, or maybe it was The New Yorker, ran a cover with a cartoon of Obama and Michelle dressed in desert robes, holding AK's and giving each other a fist-bump. It was meant as satire of the rightwingnut media pundits. The fist-bump happened between the Obamas after a campaign speech, and the usual clueless old white conservative fuckwits freaked out, calling that common gesture a "thug" or "terrorist" hand signal.

I believe this cartoon above is just an example of Daryl Cagle, a respected cartoonist who for decades has been consistently even handed in critiquing pols from both parties, poking fun at rightwingnut hype.

You may recall that back when Obama first campaigned for President, Time Magazine, or maybe it was The New Yorker, ran a cover with a cartoon of Obama and Michelle dressed in desert robes, holding AK's and giving each other a fist-bump. It was meant as satire of the rightwingnut media pundits. The fist-bump happened between the Obamas after a campaign speech, and the usual clueless old white conservative fuckwits freaked out, calling that common gesture a "thug" or "terrorist" hand signal.

I believe this cartoon above is just an example of Daryl Cagle, a respected cartoonist who for decades has been consistently even handed in critiquing pols from both parties, poking fun at rightwingnut hype.

So this is a satire of a Right-Wing cartoon. Makes sense.

It probably isn't even drawn by a Swede.

The thing is that racists on 4chan in particular and elsewhere as well REALLY hate Sweden. They complain that it is just a caliphate. They complain about the immigrants taking over the country and that the Swedish people are too accepting of muslims and Africans. They complain about "multiculturalism" which is practically a swear word among them now.

This comic is just another insult directed at the Swedish.

There was an article linked in Tol's post explaining it, but for those who missed it: three guys protesting the burka by concealing their faces (with niqab, KKK hood, and helmet) and trying to enter the Australian Parliament. I assume there's some wider context re: burqa laws in Australia.

Christian and Muslim mistrust/hatred of Jews began in the middle ages. The Christians didn't like them due to them killing Jesus according to the bible (well, technically it was the Romans who killed him and even then it was just as planned, so either someone didn't understand the point in the bible or it was done on purpose to distance the two religions or something.) while Muslims started hating Jews after Mohammed got some personal grudge with them.

After several centuries of anti-semitic propaganda it has been become so intertwined with conspiracy stories (some of the oldest known conspiracy theories are about Jews) even atheist conspiracy theorists spread them around. (and it is always handy to have some "outsider" that you can blame for things that are bad. Just ask Hitler how useful it was to unite the people by giving them targets to hate.)

Well, let me try to add something, then. The Christians and Muslims were forbidden by their religions from profiting by charging interest for loans. The Jews who had no such qualms became bankers for them. So, they were not only outsiders but often wealthy outsiders and the fact that a big source of their wealth was seen as sinful just increased the envy and bitterness.

Not only did they not have qualms, banking was one of the few industries a middle- or upper-class Jewish person could get involved in. They were, in many areas, legally barred from working in medicine, working in law, holding public office, etc.

Yes. The Christians needed the Jews to handle the banking but this meant that the Jews became wealthy and when you have wealthy "outsiders" (I keep using this term and should explain that I mean it in the sense of "US vs THEM" mentality having a clear enemy/rival to unite the people. Jews were handy in this since fomenting hate towards foreigners might not be a good idea if you want allies but Jews were everywhere but did not hold much power so hating them had no diplomatic downsides.) it is easy to hate them.

The Jews were very useful as a "middle-man minority". No Catholic would lend, because usury is banned in the bible. Only Jews would lend. This is obviously a very important economic task - look at Spain in the 19th century to see what a land without usury is like - but it made the Jews fairly wealthy without "working". Very easy to hate, middle-man minorities.

Just to underscore how lowly and vicious the propaganda bigotry against Jews was/is; bankers weren't even a substantial percentage of the Jewish population. The other "allowed" higher income occupation, being a jeweler, was also viewed as cause for resentment (note that the English word for gemstone trinkets was conventionally based on the word "Jew"), as were Jewish merchants and shop owners. Most Jews, though, were working class artisans and laborers, like tailors, bakers, cobblers, brick masons, trash carters and street sweepers, again because of being legally barred from many job classes.

Quote
jewel (n.)
late 13c., "article of value used for adornment," from Anglo-French juel, Old French jouel "ornament, jewel" (12c.), perhaps from Medieval Latin jocale, from Latin jocus "pastime, sport," in Vulgar Latin "that which causes joy" (see joke (n.)). Another theory traces it to Latin gaudium, also with a notion of "rejoice" (see joy).

It's what I learned in history class years ago. So, either the textbook was wrong, or the etymologists have other theories. The spelling seems a little too coinky-dinky, regardless, especially considering the centuries-long tradition of diamond and other gemstone transport, import, stone cutting and setting, especially amongst Hasidim and Sephardic Jews.

Consider also that it might be the other way around; Hebrews or Israelites getting tagged with what is otherwise a seemingly non sequitur sounding name of "Jew", from their association with jewels?

The word "Jew" derives from Judah. In the Torah, Judah was one of the twelve sons of Jacob/Israel, and the founder of one of the twelve tribes. After the reign of King Solomon, Judah seceded from Israel and became an independent country.

The Medieval British nobility spoke French so a lot of the words in modern English that refer to things that used to be connected to the nobility's lifestyle are derived from that language. That's why the other explanation sounds more credible to me but I'm no etymologist either. It's pretty common to have similar sounding words that mean completely different things and have evolved from different root words. I can also say that history textbooks can be and have been wrong: when years have gone by I remember having found out about minor mistakes with things I was taught but can't really recall any specific examples.

I'm not going to start debating about such a minor issue I can mostly just speculate about, though. Both explanations are possible, I just find one more credible than the other.

Looks remarkably like the drawings in Eco's Prague Cemetery. But then, that caricature is standard for that singular brand of artist or plagiarizer. I doubt they could draw or think of anything else as they are eternally fixated on that one subject.

Maybe it's conflating being trans* with being gay.  If that's the case, then the cartoonist's as enlightened on the subject matter as Ayatollah Khomeini.

Gas masks protect from tear gas. In FDF our gas mask training included being inside a tent that got a healthy dose of tear gas while wearing the mask. Volunteers were later allowed to try going inside the tent without a mask and being one of those idiots I say that a gas mask is NOT an overreaction if there is a threat of tear gas...

Brown's death was just the straw that broke the camel's back. The community has been disenfranchised and its members abused by police for decades. People are protesting about this one instance but the frustration and anger behind the protest have been brewing for a long time.

Al Sharpton strikes me as an opportunistic jackal at times, don't get me wrong. But just because people weren't talking about racial issues prior to these shooting incidents doesn't mean they weren't there. It just means they weren't being talked about. I constantly hear my relatives and former classmates blaming President Obama for the racial overtones of the debates going on right now, as if his presence magically caused problems to appear out of nowhere.

I actually halfway agree with strawman Obama, once the metaphor's decoded.  It'd keep a LOT of "mistake babies" from happening, and give people who want kids some breathing room to make sure that they actually want them right then, thus leading to better decision-making, at least on their part.

The reason for high rates of "black on black crime" is because many neighborhoods in the United States are very racially segregated. So if the typical black American commits a crime, it's statistically more likely to be against another black person than a white person. It's not because black people are eating themselves alive or anything like that.
White poeple kill each other at basically the same rate as well.

Korea invented the printing press centuries before Europe did. The medieval Arab world was a hotbed of scientific progress (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_inventions_in_the_medieval_Islamic_world) and even gave us algebra. Various Native American peoples also had many technologies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_contributions), such as almanacs, anesthetics, and the basis for many modern medications like aspirin. African-American scientists and inventors have been contributing to science for years. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African-American_inventors_and_scientists) You'd have to be really ignorant of history to not know that other cultures have been independently developing technologies to suit their needs for years, often well before "enlightened" Europeans caught on.
Indeed. Prior to the Age of Exploration, Europe would have been one of the last places you would expect to conquer the world. China had all the technology, Africa had the wealth empires, and Europe was in a near constant state of warfare with itself.
Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons
Post by: RavynousHunter on January 13, 2015, 07:46:49 am
Actually, that Europe conquered the world makes a kind of twisted sense.  Yeah, they were at constant war with eachother, but war doesn't lead to technological stagnation, it does the exact opposite.  Because of the constant fighting, each state had to do everything in its power to stay one step ahead of its rivals and that means more soldiers, better armour, and better weapons.  Warfare breeds better weapons like an open wound breeds bacteria.

Lots of money doesn't necessarily breed lots of good weapons or lots of good soldiers.  It might lead to scientific gains, but scientific gains don't always directly translate to an increase in military power.  If I remember my pre-modern world history correctly, the Asian countries were, mostly, far too insular and xenophobic to bother conquering other areas, instead focusing their efforts largely on the home front, as well as importing and exporting goods.  While everyone else was busy building stable, wealthy empires, Europe was building armies of well-trained, battle-hardened soldiers with the full brunt of several generations' worth of war tech development at their disposal.  When you look for conquerors, you look for warriors.

I mean, Obama didn't apprehend Osama...he had Osama KILLED! If Obama was like the big-eared human-string bean in the cartoon, he would've given Osama a trip to the Bahamas or something.

True. Bigots, Frums & Bigoted Frums seem to come from an alternate Bizarroverse. They'll probably yell, "Osama's not dead! WHERE ARE THE PHOTOS?!".

Frankly, as awful as Osama was, I feel he should have been apprehended and given a trial. Killing him only gives fuel to the IslamoFascist fire. After all, death is a sacrament to them. Osama would just become a "martyr". Just toss the freak in prison for life! We would have lots of photos and less "We didn't get him! Pics or it didn't happen!".

And imagine what intelligence Osama could've provided!

That said, I'm glad we got him, even if he's now in "The Gruesome Gig Underground (or Underwater)".

It files away the character of a rather (even if I remove his bragging, since confirmed sniper kills generally require a witness) competent, if remarkably psychotic, soldier. Even without the virulent racism on Kyle's part, I doubt it would be considered a classic.

Part of that has to do with the general trauma of being in war.  You start to think in a certain way, and when its a matter of life and death, it sticks for quite a while.  Coming back to normal, civilian life after that is an incredible shock, and given the rather alarming lack of adequate psychological care for veterans, it only stands to reason that quite a few of them are unstable.

That said, some people ARE generally fucked in the head BEFORE joining the military, soooooo...yeah.

i saw the movie, and you know what? it is disturbing. if you'll let me indulge in armchair psychology for a minute, it's a clear-cut case of ptsd mixed in with jingoism (texas, y'all), and by the end of the movie, psychotically tinted emotional attachment (aka savior syndrome). the man was a wreck. it's not meant as a patriotic movie. it's a dark tale of the dychotomy between what people perceive as their heroes and what they actually do and what they become. it's a tough movie.

Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons
Post by: R. U. Sirius on January 27, 2015, 05:50:20 pm
It's probably worth noting that many ancient societies had mystical/religious rituals to separate a soldier's identity in combat from his identity at home. It wouldn't have solved every problem, of course, and it probably came with a host of its own, but I can't help wondering if something similar would help our returning vets.

On the other end of the scale, you have societies like the Spartans, who (so I've heard) approached war the way a laborer approached work...messy and often unpleasant, but necessary. I've heard that they even used farming terms to describe combat, to help reduce the emotional impact...the front line of their phalanx engaging an enemy was called "reaping", for example, particularly when they got close enough that they had to rely on their short swords rather than spears.

Because the only time that I remember UN military going against their cause and invading other countries (going as far as demanding the right to use nukes against the resisting country) was when a US general was in charge of the operation. And he had a lot of support in the same groups that now hate UN because he would have been nuking China and North Korea.

I think I can shed some light on the hatred of the UN. For one thing, it's a joke. The Human Rights Council includes many members who are notorious for violating human rights and will happily condemn the United States and allies. Now, make no mistake, I don't approve of, well, most, of what the US has done since the Cold War began, but I don't feel compelled to defend America from the likes of Russia or Iran.

For another, the United Nations makes a perfect villain to the sort of fundamentalists who read Left Behind, such as those over at Rapture Ready. Even to people who aren't religious, the idea of a shadowy one world government has been a staple of conspiracy theories for the longest time, so the United Nations is the worst fear of the conspiracy theorists (despite being a joke in reality).

The more fundamental issue is that there's no good reason for most employers to restrict their hiring pool to college graduates. Which, in many respects, exposes an even more fundamental issue that there's no good reason for people to be forced into poverty just because they can't find work.

We've been ignoring these issues and the typical response is "More education!" whenever anyone dares to bring them up. Education doesn't fix a broken social safety net.

I get the feeling that is the cartoonist equivalent of when you had to write an essay in school and you half ass bull shitted most of it just good enough that the teacher would think you knew what you were talking about when they looked at it.

The guy in the second cartoon getting choked is Eric Garner. He was choked to death on video by a cop but the cop still "walked". It's a tragic & infuriating case.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Eric_Garner
I think the cartoon is saying that Garner brought his murder on himself just as the guy with emphysema brought his condition on himself by smoking.....making this toon a perfect example of "Worst Political Cartoons".
Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons
Post by: davedan on March 03, 2015, 12:39:53 am
I thought the point that the cartoonist was making that someone who smokes, despite the bad choice is given medical assistance to breathe and treatment, whereas Mr Garner's bad choice 'the failure to pay taxes on his cigarettes' (or selling illegal cigarettes) was reacted to by killing him. I think it was in support of Mr Garner and blacklives mattter etc...

However given how badly it convey's its image I think it has to be considered in the 'worst' category. But then again I like to judge political cartoons not on the political message they convey but on the quality of the Art - Hence my view that Dees is necessarily in the 'best' political cartoonist category.

And funny how the anti-tax types are just fine with a joke that the guy died for not paying taxes. Garner gets dismissed out of hand because he's not white.

Well, I'd argue the opposite.  Since American conservatives are hardly pro-tax, I think he's condemning Garner's death.

They are also against all healthcare and generally helping people after they have been born (apart from the rich "job creators" that is.) so the "he asked for it" stance is quite probable.

There are a bunch of A Wyatt Mann's cartoons up on resist.com, the website of the White Aryan Resistance. Not linking it, you can look it up yourself if you want to.

According to Encyclopedia Dramatica, his real name is Wyatt Kaldenberg. Kaldenberg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyatt_Kaldenberg) is definitely a real person and was active in the white nationalist movement in the past, but has now left it. Not because he stopped being a racist, mind you, but because he thinks all the White Nationalist/Nazi stuff doesn't help the average white Joe who is being attacked by liberals and the lesser races and such.

He now writes books promoting Odinism (http://www.amazon.com/Folkish-Odinism-Wyatt-Kaldenberg/dp/1492297348/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8) and attacking the racist movement (http://www.amazon.com/Nazism-Racism-Nothing-Empower-Leftists-ebook/dp/B0060MB3FS). Which is an improvement over his cartooning, at least.

While Holocaust deniers are sure that the Holocaust was a zionist conspiracy, they usually consider that it would have been a good thing had it been done.

Perhaps done as intended--that is, killing all the Jews, not just the ones that actually died.

I'm willing to overlook the Holocaust denial. Instead, I'll focus on how Wyatt is under the impression that any second now, everyone is going to come around and start agreeing with him. The idea that "the Jews" are on such shaky ground that their conspiracy is going to come down any day now is just like how religious fundamentalists think any day now, everyone is going to agree with them. At least with the latter, their worldview includes a supernatural being who could make that happen.

Because sheep can totally give consent.

Seriously, I could conceive of arguments against using consent as a standard for marriage. They wouldn't necessarily be good arguments, but they would be arguments. But with fundamentalists, I have actually never even heard them address the c word. Never.

Ginny's a red-head. I think the girl in the cartoon is supposed to be Hermione since she has really curly brown hair.

Wait, where is the blood from? It's clearly very fresh (notice how there is still enough blood to drip from the knife and the blood hasn't dried) so he had to have stabbed someone in the past couple seconds. It's possible it's suppose to be that Santa slit the kids throat but he doesn't appear to be in pain.
 Their is also not very much blood if the implication Is he killed someone.

And finally, also, wouldn't "Tranny Danny" be a more appropriate thing to call her? I mean, aren't degenerates the name for people who have bred with other races or cultures and Transgender individuals are suppose to be mentally ill.

...kind of the point of headcanon that it doesn't necessarily have to follow the original text?

Otherwise it would just be canon.

You're thinking of miscegenation (literally, "mixing the races"). Degenerate means abnormal in such a way that it lacks moral quality (or, if you're a mathematician, a limiting case that fits the definition but is qualitatively different from other examples).

Speaking as a member of the Touhou fandom, as in, this is how we use the term, headcanon covers anything that isn't either explicitly covered nor denied by canon. In the Touhou fandom, this comes up a lot, as there's not a whole lot of canon information for many characters, so a lot of gaps have to be filled in by headcanon in order to make them a complete character. Making something up like "Harry Potter is actually Indian" wouldn't be headcanon so much as it would be AU, or "alternate universe", the term used for stuff that is contradictory to canon but consistent in its own universe.

Again, just explaining how I use the term "headcanon", and why something like what we see in the cartoon would not be "headcanon" to me.

He is stated to have green eyes. Dean Thomas, Angelina Johnson and Lee Jordan are canonically black. Kingsley is also black and I had expected him to be played by Samuel L. Jackson in the film. (Mother fucking snakes! Avadakadavra!) The Patil Twins are Indian. Cho Chang is assumed to be of Asian decent. (Never noted, but presumably Japanese mother, Chinese father.) No one's really sure what Blaise Zabini is, (described as "dark") and he's not that important anyway. Everyone else is assumed to be just British of some sort.

The only anime I can think of that brings up the US bombing of Japan is Grave of the Fireflies. In fact, I've seen a lot of anime set in high school where the students are encouraged to learn English.

And even then, Grave of the Fireflies isn't even anti-American. It's just an all around message of "this is why war fucking sucks."

You know, I like to think that showing why the horrors of war should not be gloryfied is a universal thing... but then I remember that one of America's biggest hero is a psychopath who bragged about killing hundreds of people just because they had brown skin and the government told him to do it.

The internet keeps showing me that US citizens have a really fragile ego. Naturally every criticism of USA is seen as an attack that must be avenged. Often not by defending from the claim or disproving it. No, the usual answer is to make a hostile comment about the other person's country. But that isn't enough, even when no one means any ill will or hasn't insulted USA there are americans who look for reasons to be outraged.

Last week there was this one history discussion and when civil wars were mentioned someone started ranting that the US civil war was the most important civil war in the history and that is why every country in the world teaches about it during history lessons. When quite reasonably this was countered by saying that the French revolution and the Russian revolution were in fact more important and had global effects by giving birth to new politics (Modern democracy and communism gaining their first foot holds with those civil wars.) this caused a massive outrage with people complaining that Europeans were just butthurt and acting Anti-American because it is fashionable. Seriously, the only notable thing about the US civil war is that it was fought to preserve slavery as an institution at a time when most modern nations had given up on it. And we are taught about other civil wars and wars as well. I'm sure that the schools in USA talk about Pancho Villa and the civil war in Mexico don't they? I mean, knowing the history of your region and notable things on Earth is why history lessons exist.

If he slaughtered innocent civilians for kicks, you'd have grounds for calling Chris Kyle a psychopath, but he was just a soldier doing his job.  Furthermore, I'm pretty sure he was never diagnosed with APD.  As for his alleged racism, I'm not sure whether it's actually true.  I've heard conflicting things.

If you're going to criticize him, be my guest, but I'd appreciate it if you'd focus on stuff he's known to have done, such as lying about what he did with the proceeds of his book.

Besides, American movies don't exactly shy away from showing the horrors of war.  Glory, Saving Private Ryan, Apocalypse Now, and Black Hawk Down come to mind.

And even then, Grave of the Fireflies isn't even anti-American. It's just an all around message of "this is why war fucking sucks."

And I can't speak for the rest of the country, but I learned about the Mexican Revolution in high school.

It's distributed by Cagle. Cagle only has one rule to bar a cartoonist from their syndicate; no extreme wing nut shit allowed, left or right. The cartoon has lightly bitter humor to express that all the news about killer cops is approaching the omega point. Just about fucking everyone - even grandmas - no longer blindly trust the police.

The grandma is depicted as ugly and has a giant mouth and is talking to her cat. This all indicates the cartoonist is saying the fact she doesn't trust cops is meant to be considered crazy.

The cop is depicted as being annoyed at the fact the old lady is video taping him, and is depicted as being the good guy in this scenario (he has his arms outstretched, indicating he is going to due the right thing and rescue the cat, meaning their is no ambiguity in the situation.)

1.  While I agree the cartoon is flawed in portraying the Martin and Zimmerman camps as being equally bad (I found the Zimmerman camp to be worse, if only because it seemed to attract so many wingnuts), it nevertheless calls for dialogue and understanding, which I find to be admirable.  Furthermore, we don't know exactly what happened.  If you want my perspective, I think Zimmerman was the one at fault, because of his violent track record.

2.  It's not 1965 anymore.  While we're not at the mountaintop yet, African-Americans have made incredible strides.  Just twenty years ago, the idea of a black president was almost inconceivable.  Institutionalized racism still exists, there's no doubt about that, but things have changed for the better, and I think they'll continue to do so.

3.  In my humble opinion, Affirmative Action is worthy of criticism.  But I don't think so because of misapplied quotes.  Rather, I think the degree to which race-based Affirmative Action (at least for African-Americans) is still necessary ought to be examined.  Nothing is above being questioned or criticized.

Yeah, the sentiment is a good one, "try to place yourself in the other persons shoes." This particular incident might even have a shred of doubt on what happened... If you ignore the fact that Zimmerman put himself in that situation on purpose and didn't seem to have a reason to confront Martin (unless "being black" is automatic reason to apprehend person for likelyhood of being a criminal.) Anyway, Zimmerman's fanclub certainly is the worse one.

1.1: My only real issue with this is that it's less of a "lack of mutual dialogue" issue and more a "Black are desperately trying to get people to listen to them" issue

2.1: i wouldn't call the "incredible strides" more like decent ones. Cops and vigilante still kill them at an alarming rate, poverty is still widespread, voting rights for them are getting taken away faster and faster, and they still face stereotyping and discrimination.

3. Race based affirmative action is still totally necessary. Blacks still face a shitton of poverty and discrimination.

1.  I guess that's a valid objection.  It's the same old story: the media focusing on the vocal minority and distorting the facts to try and push an agenda.

2.  Police brutality and vigilantism are not inherently racial issues.  Neither is voter suppression.  There's definitely a racial component to both issues, but to claim they're all about racism ignores the facts.  As for poverty, it should be remembered that the economy's still in bad shape.  And while stereotyping and discrimination still exist, things are improving every day.

3.  The way I see it, anything worth doing is worth questioning.  If Affirmative Action can't stand up to scrutiny, then it's not worth preserving.

Why, exactly, is this so bad?

At first glance, I see nothing objectionable about this.

However, this might be some comment on how "thug" has gone from a generic term for "hoodlum" to a dog-whistle for "black person". Perhaps the cartoonist is saying that blacks are using "bully" as a dog-whistle for "white person".

Or it could just be what it looks like at first glance a commentary on how news coverage has degenerated, with talking heads yelling at each other like idiots.

That said, it may be a reference to this......

They are in some places.Charleston, for instance.  Michael Slager was fired, and he's been charged with murder.
Okay, first, it doesn't matter what people say about cops. Cops aren't an enthnic group or nationality, their a fucking line of emoloyment. Saying that cops suck is no different than saying lawyers are greedy or politician are corrupt. As far as I'm concerned if a group that has been bullied by cops for the past 150 years is going to hate cops that's fine. Secondly, wow, an officer who was caught on tape shooting a fleeing unarmed man and planting evidence afterwards now faces the possibility of getting some sort of punishment. THE SYSTEM WORKS!!!

And the reason that cartoon is bullshit is because
1. I have never seen any black guy on the news ever say cops are bad, like, ever.
2. The reason it's bullshit is because it's pushing the crap about how the misunderstandings and prejudices blacks have about white are just as harmfull as the ones white people have about blacks.

White people cant act like we have any seriouse grievances towards black people, but black people
have been brutally oppressed by the white establishment for 400+ years.

No, it isn't.  All it does is create a vicious cycle of animosity.  Fact is, African-Americans have every right to be angry at the police, but this is a problem that can only be solved through actual dialogue and cooperation.  I know that we should beware of false equivalences and the middle ground fallacy, but taking it for granted that the responsibility for fixing the problem rests entirely on one party's shoulders ain't any better.

Furthermore, calling people monsters accomplishes nothing, which is something I've touched on before.

Secondly, wow, an officer who was caught on tape shooting a fleeing unarmed man and planting evidence afterwards now faces the possibility of getting some sort of punishment. THE SYSTEM WORKS!!!

He's already been punished!  He was fucking fired!  And he's going on trial!  What, would you rather he get lynched by an angry mob?

In fact, let's change that around:

They may not be "just as harmful", at least in the U.S., but they're still harmful.  You can calculate privilege all you want, but at the end of the day, they're still dead because of racism.

1.what?

2. You're right, while cops need to stop brutally raping and murdering black people then getting away scott free (with a paid vacation in the process), black people need to uhhh, stop saying mean things about cops.

To put that in non snarky terms: I don't feel that African American distrust of cops can be considered to cause police abuse.
If we were referring to racial conflicts in countries like Sudan or the former Yugoslavia I could understand the idea of feeling both sides play some role in ending violence (granted I would still dislike the cartoons portrayal of both blacks and whites for being equally at fault).

3.Okay, first off, getting fired isn't adequate punishment for shooting someone.
 secondly ARE YOU TRYING TO MISS THE POINT HERE? What I am saying is that cops almost never get punished for killing people, the fact one cop might face any jail time after shooting a fleeing suspect on camera (I doubt he will after what happened with Eric Garner) doesn't mean the situation is ok, or even getting that much better really.
Also, GETTING CHARGED FOR SOMETHING =/= GETTING CONVICTED, why is that so fucking hard for people to understand?

4. Examples please?

5. I know what the Hati massacre is. I've read the danm page before.
And I suppose I should clarify here: what I meant was "In America ect. ect."

6. I said black people as in, African Americans as a whole.

"BOMB RUSSIA! MORE NUKES! KILL THOSE RICE MUNCHING GOOKS!"



Actually, when I think about it, that kind of double think is still common today.

For instance, I've seen a ton of political cartoonists condemn the violence in Baltimore and Ferguson despite simultaneously promoting invading and bombing other countries and militarizing the police force.

This one. Fact is, as much as we glorify MLK today, you have to remember that in the sixties he was reviled by a lot of organizations as a rabble-rouser who just had to raise a stink. And it should be noted that to disparage Dr. King, people mischaracterized his movements as violent--in much the same way that our conservative press does about the protests in Ferguson, or Baltimore, or Cleveland, or.....

Actually, that Europe conquered the world makes a kind of twisted sense.  Yeah, they were at constant war with eachother, but war doesn't lead to technological stagnation, it does the exact opposite.  Because of the constant fighting, each state had to do everything in its power to stay one step ahead of its rivals and that means more soldiers, better armour, and better weapons.  Warfare breeds better weapons like an open wound breeds bacteria.

Lots of money doesn't necessarily breed lots of good weapons or lots of good soldiers.  It might lead to scientific gains, but scientific gains don't always directly translate to an increase in military power.  If I remember my pre-modern world history correctly, the Asian countries were, mostly, far too insular and xenophobic to bother conquering other areas, instead focusing their efforts largely on the home front, as well as importing and exporting goods.  While everyone else was busy building stable, wealthy empires, Europe was building armies of well-trained, battle-hardened soldiers with the full brunt of several generations' worth of war tech development at their disposal.  When you look for conquerors, you look for warriors.

Because pre-columbian america, sub-saharan africa and southeast asia were just these wonderful peaceable places where everyone got along in perfect harmony before the evil europeans ruined it.

They totally didn't have entire periods of centuries where local powers were pwning the living shit out of each other for centuries at a time.  The chinese invented gunpowder just for the pretty fireworks, obviously.

The idea that war breeds technological advancement is a good one, but it sounds here like you're trying to claim that europeans were technologically more advanced than their competitors on other continents because OMG MOAR WAR.

Which is bull, if you look at how every other society on the planet at the time was functioning (lol aztecs)

Simple answer: Because Social Security is the name of a particular funding program, with fixed methods of obtaining Social Security funding, and "welfare" is a generalized blanket term for a wide variety of programs, each with their own methods of funding, and all varying.

It should be noted, Social Security is a form of social welfare...it was one of our first welfare programs. The person who made this cartoon doesn't seem to have his basic facts straight. Which is unsurprising as people who rant about welfare typically know what they're talking about approximately 0.1% of the time.

I've got to the website owned by this "Zesko" person. Here's what he has to say.

"People accuse me of being mean-spirited, and I AM mean-spirited when it comes to certain issues."

So, he's at least somewhat self-aware. That's impressive for a wingnut.

Kudos for him admitting he's a jerk.

2. That doesn't make any sense, Isis is a loosely organized non government orginization, the nazis were a well organized organization that systematically murdered.

3.FFS,if you wanted to draw a comparison between the current situation and a genocide just chose the Armenian genocide, that actually targeted Christian predominately!

Post by: Askold on May 22, 2015, 12:46:58 am
ISIS has done executions by beheading their victims and cutting throats which "seems" more horrible to the average person than just shooting someone with an AK. Likewise using a pistol to execute someone puts the killer closer to the victim so it seems more horrible than death by firing squad.

Both of those methods bring the killer closer to the victim which also helps the cartoonist as it makes it easier to set up this comic. So it makes sense from the cartoonist's point of view to draw it like this.  (Also, he probably used an SS officer because it is easier to make his shadow distinct and more people recognize it than the shadow of an Wermacht trooper. Besides SS are EEEEVIL and more often identified with the Nazi crimes. ...And I think they actually did most of the civilian killings rather than the Wermacht. )

To the cartoon idiot in the blue easy chair, listen up.....

* There are slight differences in male & female brains. Thus, brains are in fact, physically sexed.
* A transexual is a person whose brain-sex does not match body-sex.
* The brain defines "YOU", your thinking, true identity, personality, awareness, etc. It's the seat of the soul.
* Thus, the brain is the true self. Jenner's brain is female. Yes, that hunky young man running around in the Olympics long ago had a literal "Lady-Brain".
* The brain is the real person, their soul, their essence, therefore, that "Olympic guy named Bruce" was really a woman trapped in "Bruce's" body!
* Caitlyn Jenner is who she is. Now the outside will match the inside. She couldn't go on longer being stuck in the wrong body with a false identity (even one who was awesome in the Olympics).
* She also doesn't look like "Evil hag Straw-Liberal schoolteacher" Ms. Henn from those Chick Tracts.

I actually see the Hubble cartoon as a damning indictment of society and a pretty good cartoon. The Hubble has been revealing the mysteries and beauty of the universe for the world to see but we're more interested in this sort of thing. If that is the intent of the cartoon the perhaps better choice of things for Bubba Ballcap to want to see would have been a better view of Kim K's ass, but then again, she is not the hot topic of the moment and Jenner is.

Except that guy is supposed to be a moron. That has already been established by the fact that he's ignoring the Hubble telescope and all the wonders of the galaxy and focusing on celebrity gossip.

I'll start listing off bad things about this:

1. Lol, does the cartoonists know anything about life in the 50s and 60s? Their was a shitton of violent comics and shows about killin dem commies and shit

2. Uh, kids have wanted to shoot guns for as long as their have been guns

3.what exactly is it getting at? Is it saying kids can kill people now because of their acces to guns or the Jewish mind control signals?

4. Why does that kid have an "m" rating crossed out on his head?

I'd say it's pretty clearly racist.  The kid on the left is the same person in both panels.  But the innocent kid's friend is White, and the non-innocent kid's friend is Black.  There's no way that's an accident.  I don't know if he's suggestion that integration has also led to a loss of innocence, or that Black people are violent, or what, but I have a hard time as seeing the racial element in the cartoon as inconsequential to what we can generously call the cartoonist's point.

Quote
Certain bigots have accused Jews of deliberately not giving the Holodomor (as well as other genocides) enough attention in the media (as they supposedly run it) in order to focus solely on the Holocaust. This didn't exactly come out of nowhere: Stalin had stacked the NKVD with Jews (consisting of over 30% of the force at its highest) to create a convenient scapegoat during the Great Purge, and, inadvertently, it seems to have been a factor as to why so many Ukrainians were later joining the SS in World War II.
This also overlooks the fact that unlike the Holodomor, the Holocaust had the benefit of the occupation of the Allies who made sure to scrupulously document, photograph, and film as much of it as they could, as well as put as many perpetrators as they could find on trial (thus creating a lot more information to study). Plus, the Holodomor took place in Iron Curtain-esque secrecy (like Chernobyl) and it was nearly completely impossible for the West see the true enormity of what was happening because of it. But who needs things like logic when you can just blame the Jews for everything?

I'm not sure if NKVD had that many jews at some point but I do know that Stalin ended up killing a lot of jews in his death camps during his regime. He was no fan of jews and his purges hit them just like they hit everyone else. Anyway, Holodomor was horrible and killed a lot of people, not unlike the Great leap forwards it did this by intentional starvation and systematic disregard of human life rather than straight up gathering people and executing them.

Stereotypical "Black" caricatures usually have round fat noses & huge lips that make them look more like anthropomorphized apes than people.

The Jewish "Fat Cat" has bigger lips than the dark-skinned guys in this cartoon.

The Jewish "Fat Cat" has bigger lips than the dark-skinned guys in this cartoon.

The cartoonist stinks on a technical lever. Couldn't be bothered to add some basic shading to the White family. Looks like a bunch of dark-skinned Mid-Eastern guys attacking a colorless cardboard cut-out of a cartoon "white family".

Well, my Russian stinks but I shall try to decipher what I can.
(click to show/hide)

a) The bag near the lower right corner has the word "heroin" written on it. For emphasis the other bag near it has a syringe.
b) The box says "All-Russian census population."
c) The speech bubble is harder... "[something something!] what such (basically "what's up?") Russian people and/but?" "Here [something] to haroshea(?) population for/to Russia."

Which is still gibberish but it is the best I can do. I tried stuffing that into a translator that understands cyrillic alphabets but I realized that understanding the cyrillics, without understanding the words, is annoying. I read the original text but subconsciously keep replacing the cyrillic letter with the latin alphabets or the sounds and then I get confused as I move to the other tab and try to pick the proper alphabet...

Anyway, I doubt we are losing much. This seems like yet another comic where someone complains about immigrants/refugees coming to their country and ruining the place by bringing crime and generally being "subhumans." Though the addition of the "Scheming jew" is a nice touch. Racism and anti-semitism aren't new to Russia.

As for the art style, I don't know if this is how Russians draw black people. I mean even thought this is not quite the same as how A.Wyatt Mann and other Americans draw a black-caricature this might be more common to the Russian cartoon style.

Well, to be fair, Lenin was part Jewish.  However, saying he was a Jew is extremely disingenuous.  Not only did Lenin not identify as Jewish, but according to his sister, Lenin was probably completely unaware of any Jewish ancestry during his lifetime.  His maternal grandfather was born Jewish, but he had converted to Orthodoxy and married a woman from a German-Swedish family, and Lenin's mother was raised Lutheran.  Calling Lenin "Jewish" is a huge stretch.

However, Lenin was aware during his lifetime of his Kalmyk grandmother, and certainly he had a connection to his Chuvash father.  But I have literally never seen any crank on the internet accuse the Kalmyk or the Chuvash of world domination.  They always try to zero in on a portion of his ancestry that not only had no influence on his upbringing, but that he wasn't even aware of.

Yeah, Churchill knew war. He was exactly the right leader for a Britain already embroiled in a war. Thing was, war was really all he knew. He was pretty broken up about Neville Chamberlain's premature death because he had thought to have Chamberlain keep the UK running while he focused on the war efforts. In the 1945 general election, he said that Labour's plans would require a Gestapo to implement, which illustrated pretty starkly the difference between Churchill the war leader and Churchill the peacetime politician.

But, y'know, beating Hitler will make you the last non-royal to have been offered a dukedom. (Technically, Prince Philip was offered his dukedom before he became a royal, but he was created Duke of Edinburgh on the day he married Princess Elizabeth.)

I don't think Gandhi was a misogynist.  He's known to have fought for women's rights.  He might be considered mildly sexist by modern standards, but he was hardly a proto-redpiller.

While it's true that he was racist against black people, evidence suggests that views on race evolved during his life, much like with Abraham Lincoln. 

I've never heard anything about him being a pedophile, so I can't comment on that.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Mother_Teresa

Yeah, I did some research, and "Rational"Wiki is full of shit.  A lot of the anti-Mother Teresa movement is based on misunderstandings.

Mother Theresa's entire operation was about an absolute open door policy.  Nobody could be turned aside, nobody would be left on the streets, etc.  This meant that her hospices (not hospitals!) focused more on quantity than quality, given that Calcutta actually has a quite a few poor people, especially back then.  The anti-Mother Theresa movement or whatever is entirely fueled by a firm inability or refusal to understand her aims or the context in which she worked.

I mean, people criticize her all the time for her hospices (again, not hospitals) not being up to the standard of a western hospital.  But she was in fucking Calcutta, and well before India's economy started taking off, not London.

Additionally, the medicines she refused to use were explicitly pain medications.  She eschewed the traditional negotiated death that hospices usually provide in favor of a lucid death.  As a result, she'd use weaker, cheaper painkillers in place of opiates and the like.  She did not play the game of giving medications that would hasten death but relieve suffering.  And that's assuming she could even get opiates, which were heavily restricted in India at the time. 

Was Mother Teresa perfect?  No.  Did she have flaws?  Absolutely.  Was she as bad as Hitchens said she was?  Hell no!

That's a common myth.  It wasn't Nazism that saved the German economy.  See, Hitler considered the German economy to be of secondary importance.  The credit for fixing Germany's economy should go to Hjalmar Schacht.

And it's true that Hitler's policies lowered unemployment.  But he did so in large part by reintroducing conscription and taking women out of the workforce.

The electoral map from that election was displayed so often that blue became associated with the Democratic Party and red with the Republican Party in the public consciousness. (Very funny when you consider that the people most rabidly anti-Communist are also Republicans.) Prior to that the networks assigned the two colours at random for each election.

True. Also, I knew that. I'm just wondering why the cartoonist didn't get the memo.

And about that cartoon with Snidely Whipstein's "White Guy" mask being a Japanese gay Hentai guy.

The cartoonist isn't only a bigot, he lives under a rock on Pluto.

I do confess that the Japanese Manga guys in that comic did not look blatantly Asian. That one guy could double as Superman.

(By perv, I mean he hangs out at public bathrooms and exposes himself to people to engage in scatty public bathroom sex).

....or maybe the cartoonist lives under a rock on Pluto.

Heck, as a kid, I assumed those Anime characters were white anyway. They had differing hair & eye colors and tended to have names like Mark, Jason, Chief Anderson, Rick Hunter, Keith, Lance, Jeff, Cliff, Ginger, etc. It was a different time. I was much younger and Asian cartoon characters were usually a weird olive color, black hair & slanty eyes. It never occurred to me later that those Anime characters were renamed and their round eyes & coloration were more a stylistic choice (emulating big-eyed Disney characters).

wouldn't it have been easier to just really shoot two people on tv?

a) At that point wouldn't it be better if the two people just pretended to die? Why kill them for real if the shooting wasn't real?

b) Obviously you just hire some random people who would claim to be their family members and bribing coroners is ridiculously easy. Reminder that there was a coroner who falsified dozens of records to make murders look like suicides. Including a guy who was crushed under a bulldozer.

c) Killing the actor who played the "gunman" is just getting rid of liabilities. ...Except that doing the same to the "victims" would also be smart and at that point:

d) Hiring someone to just shoot few people for real and then killing them would be much easier.

OR if you really want to make sure you can push your "guns are evil" cause without getting caught there is even easier way:

1) Premake all the needed speeches and related media stuff for the next massive shootout in USA.

2) Wait for a week or two until the next massive shootout in USA happens.

You're assuming that the shootouts are real. The whole point of these conspiracy theories is that there are no crazy people shooting up theaters every couple weeks. They're being faked in an attempt to make guns look more dangerous than they really are.

In the history of any society, there will be things that you can be proud of and things that you should be ashamed of.  Don't pretend that the bad things didn't happen, or worse, rewrite the narrative so that slavery and genocide, some of the worst atrocities that one group of humans has ever inflicted upon another, somehow become a point of pride.  You don't have to be "ashamed of your heritage," but you must acknowledge that your ancestors and their neighbors did some shitty things.  Recognize that you, personally, benefit from many of these things; while other people, especially minorities and the poor, still suffer as a direct consequence of them.  Finally, and this is the important part, stop blocking attempts to rectify this injustice.

In the history of any society, there will be things that you can be proud of and things that you should be ashamed of.  Don't pretend that the bad things didn't happen, or worse, rewrite the narrative so that slavery and genocide, some of the worst atrocities that one group of humans has ever inflicted upon another, somehow become a point of pride.  You don't have to be "ashamed of your heritage," but you must acknowledge that your ancestors and their neighbors did some shitty things.  Recognize that you, personally, benefit from many of these things; while other people, especially minorities and the poor, still suffer as a direct consequence of them.  Finally, and this is the important part, stop blocking attempts to rectify this injustice.


I remember some bigoted W.S. claptrap trying to refute the list of black inventors and innovators. However, I couldn't find a reasonable refutation of THAT! I tried looking for the latter but kept getting the former. Somebody surely must've written the latter somewhere! *ARGH!*

It's true the industrialized gassing didn't start until 1942, but the Germans were trying to kill the Jews before that.  Herding them into ghettos and letting disease take its toll, working them to death in labor camps, or just murdering them with death squads were all methods used.  Furthermore, even before the Wannsee Conference, gas vans were used to kill Jews.

Not to make light of what happened to the people who were stuck in Europe during the war but does seeing the writing on the wall and getting the fuck outta dodge count as surviving the holocaust?

Sell everything and abandon your home to drag a young family across the Atlantic and start over in a new country where you don't speak the language and do it in the middle of the depression. That's an act of desperation and not desire. Then there is the fact that even if you you go 'back home' when the war is over everything has been pounded to rubble, is quite possibly under communist control, and all your friends and family are either dead or scattered and unlocatable.

There! No need to click, just imaging the concept.

All stuff like that needs not only a spoiler, it needs a brief description, because I still curiously clicked on the darn thing.


On a slightly different subject, I wish there was a resource with descriptions of shock sites that are not Encyclopedia Dramatica. Just a straight-forward reference full of stuff like......

Oh, yeah. Putrid Sex Object. A friend told me about it and I had the bright idea to watch it when hanging out at an other friend's place recovering from our night out. Hangover and... that... didn't mix well with her and she wasn't able to finish watching it after she realized how far the film was going to go. I actually didn't believe that things would be taken as far as she thought but I was proven wrong immediately.

A few years ago I checked the artist's site again out of pure curiosity and found out that he had started selling the video instead of just having it available for free. I guess that's a big reason why I haven't heard about it for years.

I don't actually go around watching these shock things but I do have a weird "Bile Fascination" about them despite not wanting to look at them. I prefer reading about them or watching reaction videos.

Then there's these guys.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7PjFHPdSvEhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlUwPSBolUk
.....This one is HILARIOUS! A bunch of teen boys get together to watch "Swapchicks". The video is not shown and all you really hear is a bunch of ladies blabbin' about in Portuguese (Is poop/fart-porn a big thing in Brazil?). The guy's commentary is HIL-LARIOUS!

Amazingly, none of them barf despite being armed-to-the-teeth with garbage bags. They mostly laugh and goof.

AS I SAID BEFORE: THERE SHOULD BE A MORE S.F.W. RESOURCE OR ENCYCLOPEDIA ON THESE STUPID SHOCK SITES SO FOLKS KNOW WHAT THE HECK IS UP.


I'm really curious what the ladies in the off-screen gross-out that the boys are playing in the living room are saying. Anybody know Portuguese? Can you make out any statements? I know it's just probably stupid stuff like "Eat the poo poo, Juanita!" or whatever but I'm still curious.


I found a transcript of an English translation of "Church of Fudge" (from the original German).....

Apparently the porn takes place in a universe where poop is a form of demonic possession rather than a regular biological function.

I mean, it's not even controversial that Native Americans came here from Asia. The only difference the Solutrean hypothesis would make would be showing there were earlier European settlers, but the current let's-call-them-White people in America are not descended from them. Any hypothetical Solutrean descendents would not look European, what with having spent 20,000 years in reproductive isolation; indeed, if they had survived, I expect the 15th century Europeans rediscovering them would have thought of them as a different race. Much like, say, they didn't think Native Americans and Asians were the same race.

The Solutrean Theory was based on marked similarities in form and knapping technique in very old spear heads found in New England and Virginia. Geneticists could not, however, find a meaningful connection between haploid groups in modern Native Americans and Anatolians (descendants of Solutreans).

If a small band or even a long term, gradual migration of Solutreans had walked and kayak-ed across the last Ice Age's pack ice via Iceland and Greenland to North America, then a small remnant of the genes should have shown up in the gene pool here. The theory was intriguing, but it turned out that the spear head similarities were a good example of "form follows function".

The Solutrean Theory was based on marked similarities in form and knapping technique in very old spear heads found in New England and Virginia. Geneticists could not, however, find a meaningful connection between haploid groups in modern Native Americans and Anatolians (descendants of Solutreans).

If a small band or even a long term, gradual migration of Solutreans had walked and kayak-ed across the last Ice Age's pack ice via Iceland and Greenland to North America, then a small remnant of the genes should have shown up in the gene pool here. The theory was intriguing, but it turned out that the spear head similarities were a good example of "form follows function".

I came up with my own version of the Solutrean hypothesis: that a single Solutrean kayak made it to the Chesapeake Bay area, and wintered with a friendly tribe they encountered. At one point, some curious local saw one of the Solutreans making spearheads, and the Solutrean demonstrated his technique.

In spring, they went home (or died trying). Or maybe not. It's fairly plausible that the Solutrean genes, if they came from a literal handful of migrants, disappeared into the background, especially when you had the Younger Dryas period that depopulated most of the continental US.

Regardless, the idea that the Solutreans were anything more than a miniscule contribution to the peopling of the Americas is ludicrous.

I'm not sure what you mean here, that is in fact how he reacted (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/10212915/Pictured-the-public-schoolboy-who-called-historian-Mary-Beard-a-filthy-old-slut.html).

Anyway, the thing is kind of complicated. Rawlings did harass Mary Beard, under his own name. It seems weird to say Beard is not allowed to tell her followers on twitter that someone sent her a message calling her "a filthy slut". Even though that has the predictable consequence that, her being a public figure, a ton of harassment will fall against Rawlings in turn, it's not quite doxxing.

If his address had been posted publicly it would have been going too far. But that did not happen, as far as I know (someone offered, but he apologised before it happened). I'm not a fan of turning internet mobs against people, but the problem with that is that it means public figures are being held to higher standards than private individuals when it comes to saying "hey, this asshole harassed me over twitter".

The shooter was a white christian and the victims were socialists (it was a meeting of young socialists) and since you can't blame the shooting on black people or Muslims American media probably didn't want to talk about it as much.

Sorry, USA, do you need ice for that burn?

Still, isn't that pretty much always reversed in the states? Black guy or Muslim does a bad, they're painted as a terrorist, their ethnic/religious background is accented and their previous criminal record is touted as an example of why you shouldn't sympathize with them. White Christian does a bad, and suddenly they're just mentally unwell and they just made ONE mistake, they're shy and sensitive and good kids, really, honestly.

Breivik was HUGE in the news! Granted, the wingnuts among us would de-emphasize his being a white male "Christian" but it was still huge news and considered a HUGE tragedy by everybody (except the most deranged wingnuts).

The reason the cartoon is saying what it is, is because the author wants a symbolic American figure to defend voter ID laws. Those laws are passed with the intent of voter disenfranchisement of groups which lean democratic. These laws seek to exclude racial minorities by restricting ID access to white areas (http://www.al.com/opinion/index.ssf/2015/09/alabama_sends_message_we_are_t.html), college and young kids who are too busy with school to register months or two in advance, transsexuals who may not have updated identification cards for other reasons, and the impoverished who may not want to fork over the money for driver's license they do not need. Take a guess which party these groups lean towards.

The point isn't that it is difficult for any one person to get. The point is the law of averages, one or two people may find the burden too much of a hoop to jump through and forego voting. It's a well known phenomenon that humans can be disincentivized from doing things because of relatively minor burdens, and that is what these laws seek to capitalize on.

WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY WANT A BILL?!

USA get your shit together!

Because a bill ties a specific person to a specific address so when used in conjunction with another piece of I.D. it's a reasonable check against fraud.

The bill thing is allegedly to establish which legislative district (Congress, state, county and city representative and councilman districts) the voter resides in on voting day. Many poor people live in apartments and even small houses where the landlords hold the utility accounts and include it in rent, since many poor people have bad credit and can't afford the large security deposits necessary to start a utility account of their own. If the impoverished voter has no other regular bill, say for a credit card, and has no bank account statement - again, something not everyone can get if they have bounced checks in the past - they can be SOL'ed out of their right to vote. The reason it is bullshit is because when you Register to vote, you fill out and sign forms providing the required information to the polling officials, and they send your voter ID card to you after they have verified you are who you say you are. The cards typically are simple with no photo, but they are the law of the land. Legislation adding further requirements at the polling places add a hurdle that is at best in a Constitutional grey area, especially if requiring more than a common second ID, such as a state driver license or state photo ID (which you get at the driver license bureaus).

The other more pervasive way to disenfranchise voters is the judicial system; you lose your right to vote when convicted of a felony, such as possession of a small amount of pot or cocaine in their various forms.

No disrespect, but I think you're confused. While it is true that some state judges are elected, voter disenfranchisement raises a federal question under the Constitution, thus entitling the case to be heard in federal courts. Federal judges are appointed for life, though can be removed by a sitting president, IIRC, or by an act of Congress. So, for the most part, federal courts would have no problem hearing the case for the given reason of being "soft on crime."

Nor would lawyers have problem arguing the case. While some like to demonize the noble profession, there are several civil rights organizations that would litigate the case in a heartbeat, and more than enough lawyers to do so. Additionally, since this is a violation of a civil right, it falls under 42 U.S.C. 1983. The only significance of the statute being that if the court finds for the plaintiff, the state owes reasonable attorney's fees, calculated by the Lodestar method at hours worked on the case times about $250 and hour (sometimes as high as $700). Long story short, there's money in them there hills.

And without looking it up, I'd be surprised if felon disenfranchisement hasn't been ruled on at some point by the Supreme Court, seeing all the things I've just said.

A quick look at Wikipedia indicates that it has: Richardson v. Ramirez upheld felony disenfranchisement laws on the basis of section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment, but Hunter v. Underwood did later put in some provisos based on the equal protection clause.

Also, I thought federal judges had to be outright impeached by Congress to be removed.

Yeah, that's bullshit. In our case using a bill is in lieu of having a registration card and a second piece of I.D. if memory serves me correctly. Having said that, if you are actually registered but simply didn't receive your card in the mail a single piece of government issued I.D. with a photo and address is all you need. I found this out first hand during the last election; a quick phone call by my wife confirmed that I was still registered and just needed to show up at the polling station with one suitable piece of I.D. No drama, just typical Canadian politeness and apologies all around.

I never understood the felons can't vote thing. I thought that being released supposedly meant that you had served your debt to society and were now a member of it again. Part of that membership includes the right to vote.

The registration card is no longer acceptable as ID when you vote, unfortunately. If you don't have a driver's licence or provincial ID (or one or two other things), you need two other things that prove name and address between them (http://elections.ca/content2.aspx?section=id&document=index&lang=e). (You should still bring it so that you can be quickly directed to the right polling booth, though.) You can thank the Fair Elections Act for that one.

As for the "felons can't vote" thing, remember that up here, even the ones in jail can vote (and they set up special polling stations there to make it easy for them to exercise that right).

The U.S. has been a not-so-quietly de facto plutocratic/fascist nation for going on since, well, the Reagan era and before. Just because we're still technically a representative democracy does not change that, because the actual requirements to participate in that democracy are quickly returning to being a member of the white yeomanry. Eisenhower, during in his presidency, warned America about the powers-that-be (the military industrial complex) to try and avoid this eventual outcome.

Well, according to my brother, the way she was written was just idiotic pandering.  And honestly?  I think there was legitimate grounds to be upset.  If you want to diversify comics, fine.  But introduce new characters, don't just change established ones.

Lest you think I'm just defending the status quo, let me just say that there are practical reasons to do so.  I'm not really a comic fan, at least not the type of comics that usually come to mind when somebody says "comic book", but even I know that there are constant retcons and reboots.  Really, introducing all-new superheroes makes diversity more secure.

why oh why did i click ultie's link? the comments are more rabid than the next.

also, the rant included is exactly the reason why i have a problem with tone. the ideas in it are all sound, except for the first one that shuts down dialogue (big no-no). the tone however is pure ammo for misogynists and mra's. as if women didn't have enough problems, the op has to be overly antagonistic. that means that someone will see "dear men, stfu", pull a tl;dr and rage against rabid radfems feminists women in general.

that's not how dialogue works. those are great ideas that could expand the dialogue and get shit done (once again, except the first idea). instead, it will (and has, judging by the comments) boil down to name calling. getting nowhere. again.

cue me getting called out (again) for criticizing tone. we're working with written media. leave the anger behind the keyboard. ideas exposed in a calm and collected manner go farther, and if writing is not the tool of choice for choosing the right words, i don't know what is. leave the fire and brimstone to the preachers, but write down the ideas in the most efficient way, please.

Archive.is is an archival site, used to save a snapshot of a page, preserving it against editing and deleting. It also allows you to link to a site without actually giving it traffic.

They have some unspecified conflict with the Finnish government, which is why they block IPs from Finland.

Quote from: UP

"safe spaces"

like how much of a shitty cartoon villain do you have to be to be against the concept of safe spaces

The problem is that these days, "safe space" is synonymous with an echo chamber where nobody is allowed to voice a dissenting opinion, especially if it contradicts a woman or a minority.

Yeah, how dare people not want to dignify racism, misogyny and other dehumanizing with a platform.

There are two major things wrong with that:

1.  Their definition of "bigotry" is absurdly broad.

2.  Trying to "no platform" hate speech just makes it seem like the bigots have a point.

So can you explain why these people can't have safe places? Who you choose to invite into your home and what you choose to talk about are your business and not anyone else. Unless they are insisting the world at large play by their rules I fail to see why you can't just let them sit in their little corner of the sandbox and ignore them while you're building your sandcastle.

Because of the fact that this sort of crap is popping up at COLLEGES.  Places where people need to be exposed to other opinions and be able to defend their positions.  Instead, it's 'this makes me uncomfortable, ergo, you can't discuss this ever.  And it ranges from abortion... to such lovely idiocy like YEC.

UP, I've called you out several times already on your complete lack of self-awareness. Since there's no point in trying to appeal to your nonexistent self-reflective capabilities, I guess I'll have to step out of my comfort zones and be more... specific in my criticism.

You have repeatedly argued that some people, namely those that are politically on your left, should be more mindful about the bad apples on their side. That they should always stand ready to denounce, loudly and publicly, any group or individual that display reverse bigotry, "anti-free-speech" tendencies, or anything that you would call "extremism" or "fanaticism"... no matter how insignificant the person or insular the group, and how petty, exaggerated or just plain silly your actual grievance.

Meanwhile, you have repeatedly chosen to endorse some absolutely terrible people because they happened to share some of your pet peeves. Some are anonymous Internet users, but you certainly seem to have a thing for drama-whoring "public figures" like Yiannopoulos or Hoff Summers. You aren't just failing to condemn them for their bile-spewing bullshit while putting up with them in your crusades against social justice. You actively and specifically promote their vicious points of view in your arguments against "the other side", because all is fair when trying to make people realize how evil and dangerous the enemy is.

This isn't a standard failure to live up to one's own standards. You are living proof that the Dunning-Kruger effect can be applied to moral judgements, and that a certain Jewish preacher actually had a point when he was speaking about motes and beams in people's eyes.

If this sounds condescending and disrespectful, that's because it is. Again, I wish I didn't have to state it outright.

To be quite honest, I strongly doubt that you actually want every kind of hate speech to receive a public platform, only those specific patterns that your tribe is commonly associated with and accused of. Sure, you do not want to outright criminalize the brands of hate speech that offend you. You just want those to be marginalized out of the public discourse.

Here's a thought: maybe, just maybe, some most of the people you routinely accuse of advocating censorship against opinions they don't like, are in fact "merely" trying to push for these opinions to be marginalized.

While I disagree with the idea of a cap on women in STEM, the rest of the article is completely valid.

As for the second, it did rub me the wrong way, but at least it's based on actual facts.  Sure, maybe the data is flawed, and maybe there are other factors to consider, but there's a big difference between it and the "feels trump reals" bullshit we see from the politically correct crowd.

You have something of a point.  Maybe I am overreacting.  But considering how much influence these people have, and the media silence about their more questionable traits and activities, can you blame me?  Let me ask you: where are the media outlets covering the bullying of Paige Paz?  Why isn't she addressing the UN?

Meanwhile, you have repeatedly chosen to endorse some absolutely terrible people because they happened to share some of your pet peeves.

I don't "endorse" them.  It's a marriage of convenience.

You call it "drama-whoring", I call it "muckraking."

or Hoff Summers.

It's "Sommers."  If you're going to blatantly insult one of the leading Feminists in America, at least have the common decency to spell her name right.

2.  Trying to "no platform" hate speech just makes it seem like the bigots have a point.

Let me give you a history lesson.  The Weimar Republic had hate speech laws, very strong ones.  Members of the Nazi Party, including Joseph Goebbels himself, were repeatedly tried and convicted for anti-Semitic language.  This did not hurt them.  To the contrary, it helped them, because it threw more fuel onto the "teh Ebol Joos" bonfire, with tragic consequences for Europe and Jewry.

To be quite honest, I strongly doubt that you actually want every kind of hate speech to receive a public platform, only those specific patterns that your tribe is commonly associated with and accused of.

Now you're putting me in a "tribe"?  Thanks for so clearly demonstrating your mental processes.  According to you, any alliance is inherently close-knit and friendly.  Let me ask you: have you ever seen a coalition government in action?

Sure, you do not want to outright criminalize the brands of hate speech that offend you. You just want those to be marginalized out of the public discourse.

Au contraire, I don't want it marginalized.  I want them to be able to spew their bile to their hearts' content, so that people can see for themselves how hateful they are.  Maybe if we're really lucky, the opposing bigots will waste all their time fighting each other, and everybody else can get on with their lives.

Here's a thought: maybe, just maybe, some most of the people you routinely accuse of advocating censorship against opinions they don't like, are in fact "merely" trying to push for these opinions to be marginalized. Which could lead you to wonder about the nature, origins, present connotations and general meaningfulness of the term "political correctness"... but probably won't.

Oh, I know full well about it.  The idiotic "Cultural Marxism" strawman wannabe activists are pushing is utterly absurd, but it has at least some grain of truth.  No, political correctness isn't some elaborate conspiracy to destroy the white race/masculinity/Western Civilization.  However, it does cause genuine harm.

Quite simple actually. The artist is confused because some people say that they are transgender or genderqueer etc. and the artist believes this means that they have "chosen" to be transgender rather than being born as one. (Kinda like many of those insults about Caitlyn Jenner that have been on the net recently. Note that the transwoman has been drawn to look like a guy, beard and all...) Meanwhile we have people who claim that gender is just a social construct and others who say that they didn't "choose to be women" and should not be punished simply for being a woman. (I assume that this refers to things like the wage cap and other inequalities.)

Finally, we have all those writings on the woman in the middle: The artist thinks that it is kinda confusing that women dress to make themselves look sexy but still demand that no one should have sex with them unless they consent to it. And yes, that is what the artist's argument boils down to. "If she didn't want to get raped why did she dress so provocatively? If women don't want men to stare at them why won't they wear a burgha or something?"

This is what the artist is trying to convey. The assumption that all SJWs (for lack of a better term) follow the same beliefs and are thus contradicting themselves. When everyone knows the real truth is that there are /two/ hive minds, obviously. And that they are at war with each other.

I think "orbself" might be in reference to nounself pronouns that have something to do with someone's nonsensical gender identity. Like if someone said "my gender is an orb", they might also want people to use orb/orbs/orbself pronouns when referring to them. ("Orb took orbs imaginary friend to the store and got a candy bar for orbself.") That's what popped into my head at least, and yes I know I should get out more.

Not those particular countries, no. The refugees are in the countries around Syria, but those richest countries aren't taking any. Besides not caring all that much they probably fear that the refugees would cause too instability in their countries and that would be dangerous for the autocratic rulers.

The Saudis are much more willing to fund building more mosques for the refugees in Europe. They literally suggested this when confronted with the fact that they don't do anything for the refugees despite their wealth. (Edit: And if you aren't sure why this is such an outrageous suggestion see what the spread of Salafism has done and is doing to the Muslim world. Real charity, that.)

The Mosques need preachers and Saudis bring Muslims from all around the world to the school they have built for this purpose. Those preachers are then sent to the Mosques the Saudis have funded to spread the Salafi doctrine. This is not a conspiracy theory, it's something scholars, intelligence officials and many Muslims are well aware of. I don't know if you noticed the outrage and worry the Shia Muslims expressed when the news came that there will be a Saudi funded grand Mosque in Helsinki.

Yeah, the main problem is that when Saudis build a Mosque only their Imams are allowed to preach in them and these are from a different branch of Islam.

Kinda like if a bunch of Orthodox Christians were seeking refuge in a faraway land and Catholic Church would declare that they will build a church for them. ...Except that only Catholic priests are allowed to preach in the church. ...Actually you could replace Catholics with (incredibly rich in this fictional scenario) Westoro Baptist Church...

It also ignores the fact that the wealthy elite depend far more on a stable, well-functioning society than poor people do, and stand to lose far more without police, courts, and legislators aligned with their interests.

The fact that they simultaneously don't want to pay for all that is ridiculously short-sighted.

There are extremes. There's people who say all PIV sex within the patriarchy is rape. There's people who literally say that rape is about how you feel afterwards and not about consent. There's a related but not so stupid position that says that sex can feel like a violation even if you technically consented (dubious consent, implicit societal pressures, etc. are real things) and rape is a useful mental frame for it, but not an accusation you can put before a court.

If someone did consent to sex and then regret it they have every right to be upset about it? And to want emotional support? This should not be controversial. Whether they can blame the other party is a ridiculously complicated question depending heavily on circumstances, but the comic didn't even bother to do that, they just mocked the idea of someone going through a painful experience because somehow if you could have prevented something that makes the pain not valid or some shit. It's not even a good strawman.

There is the belief that Heterosexuality is somehow inherently oppressive towards women and any woman that is in a heterosexual relationship is being raped. Even if she doesn't think that (she is just mistaken.) Even if her boyfriend/husband considers himself to be a feminist and is not oppressing or dominating her in any way it still counts as rape and possibly slavery. Or so something like that.

I was actually meaning to reply to this sooner because I read an interview that was relevant to the topic but lost the page and it took a while to find it again:
https://web.archive.org/web/20150912231029/http://www.radfemcollective.org/news/2015/9/7/an-interview-with-julie-bindel

Quote
We used to talk about sexual politics, rather than sexual practice. But what the libertarians did when they borrowed US gay male culture was they focused obsessively on sexual practice, and they eroticised inequality, subordination, pain and dominance. We used to talk about: “why are women heterosexual?” And “what is lesbianism?” – because we didn’t like the definition it was given by the non-feminists that it was just about sex, that it was just something you were, that it was something you couldn’t help being, that it was something you were programmed to be and that it was less desirable than being straight.

So radical feminism saw heterosexuality under patriarchy as massively problematic, because it benefited men and it disadvantaged women. It meant that the family structure was one that had the man at the Head of the household – even if he wasn’t a dinosaur, even if he thought of himself as quite progressive. It meant that he did things to her, sexually. It meant that she would joke with her friends as early writers like Marilyn French outlined, that she would often put up and shut up, and let him get on with stuff. It meant that she wasn’t really wanting or enjoying, so that he would buy her a new washing machine if they were middle class, or if they were working class, so that he would give her his wages at the end of the week.

Slightly off the topic of what radfems think is rape, but more on their ideology. Things like being pro-trans are seen as "anti-women..."
Quote
Because lets face it, we know we are right – we are learning all the time, and we change our minds on all kinds of strategic issue, but radical feminism is common sense. On the one hand you have got utter idiots like Laurie Penny who are simply coming out with the stuff that she does because she knows that the groups she is supporting, that are pro-trans, pro-sex work, and pro- other anti-women nonsense, are run by very high profile, powerful libertarian men. We know that she is doing it for a career move. But the vast majority of women that spout that kind of nonsense are doing so because they are scared of the feminism that means they have to name men as the problem, because they know the punishment they will get if they do.

Is there anything to say? Judging by the handle "AntiFemComics", the cartoonist is obviously an anti-feminist.

Doesn't the "PBR" can mean that he drinks some weird hipster beer? Because the only times I've heard P(something) Blue Ribbon beer mentioned in American media or comics is when they are making fun of hipsters and the beer brand is seen as a clear sign that the person drinking it is a annoying hipster.

(I don't know if it is actually good beer or not.)

Also he literally says that the other person  "should have known about [communism] before it was cool, like me."

Anyway, the dude on the left makes a bad strawman whether he is supposed to stand for Reddit-communists or hipsters or whatever.

"Political correctness" = people actually getting called out for saying insulting and demeaning things about groups of people, particularly based on things they can't control such as gender, sexual orientation or country of birth. Hence, if you don't act like an asshole, you don't have any problems with PC.

Sorry, statistics pet peeve here, that's not how sample size works. The size of your sample proportional to the population you drew the sample from (in this case, the population of America) is meaningless*. The absolute size of the sample is all that matters. 1,026 would be just as useful a number if the population of America was a million or a billion (or infinite).

If you only accept studies with a sample size of one-thousandth of the population of America you're going to be rejecting the vast majority of them.

Sorry, statistics pet peeve here, that's not how sample size works. The size of your sample proportional to the population you drew the sample from (in this case, the population of America) is meaningless*. The absolute size of the sample is all that matters. 1,026 would be just as useful a number if the population of America was a million or a billion (or infinite).

To me, that would only make sense if the small group's demographic had relevance to the study. Like, if a drug company asked 1000 users of its medicine if there are side effects and over half reported positive, then in that situation the small sample size wouldn't matter. But asking 1000 random yobbos in a nation of several hundred million about whether political correctness is an issue and then claiming that the entire nation has spoken on the issue... that's a hard buy.

"Political correctness" = people actually getting called out for saying insulting and demeaning things about groups of people, particularly based on things they can't control such as gender, sexual orientation or country of birth. Hence, if you don't act like an asshole, you don't have any problems with PC.

But asking 1000 random yobbos in a nation of several hundred million about whether political correctness is an issue and then claiming that the entire nation has spoken on the issue... that's a hard buy.

It's still true, though (not that 'the entire nation has spoken', exactly, but that you can get reliable information about the entire nation, if your sampling was truly random). So I'm gonna talk about statistics for a bit here to try to explain and if you're still not convinced we can take this to a different thread.

Imagine you have a coin. To make things interesting, this is not a fair coin which comes heads 50% of the time, it's biased and you have no idea how much. You flip it, and with some probability p you don't know the coin comes up heads (and tails with probability 1-p). You want to find p experimentally, so what you do is you start flipping the coin, and recording the results, and you approximate p by (number of heads)/(number of coin flips).

But that's an approximation of p. What's the true value? Well, by the frequentist definition of probability, the proportion of heads in your sample if you took the infinite limit. You can't flip a coin infinitely many times, though. If you had flipped the coin 1000 times and obtained 729 heads, how confident would you be that p is close to 73%? (Real question, not rhetorical. Would appreciate it if you thought about it before reading the next part)

Ok, so now instead of a coin what you have is a yes/no question you want to ask people. What you want to know is the probability that a randomly selected person would say 'yes' to your question, or in other words the proportion of the population that believes the answer is 'yes'. So what you do is try to pick people, as randomly as possible, ask them the question and record the results. And again you approximate the value you want to know by the proportion of your sample that said 'yes'.

Do you see how this case is analogous to the coin case above? The procedure to obtain your approximate value is the same. The only difference is, if you're asking people questions then you have a maximum number of samples you can take (the size of the population), but you do not have a maximum number of coin flips you can make (in an imaginary scenario where we assume the coin doesn't degrade over time, etc). Effectively, the analogous number for population size in the coin flip scenario is infinity (which is not a number, I know, perfect rigour is for mathematicians and neither of us is one).

If you commit to saying you cannot trust a sample size because it's too small as a fraction of the population, this has the implication that, no matter how many times you flipped a coin, you would never have any confidence if it was a fair coin or a p=73% coin or whatever. Because in principle you can always flip it more times, as a fraction of the population any sample size is infinitesimal. You can't get a thousandth part, or a millionth part, or a billionth part. In effect, you are saying that no matter how many times you flip a coin and how carefully you record the results, you will have no confidence on your estimate of the probability.

If you sit down and figure out the model and do the math, it turns out that the error introduced by sampling an incomplete part of the population is proportional to one over the square root of the sample size, and population size never enters the equation at all. This is not obvious and you'd probably need a stats class to get an intuitive understanding of it. But I hope the coin example can at least get across why it can't depend on (sample size)/(population size).

If not, I'm happy to start a new thread on this and see if I can convince you.

I'll be honest, some of that flew straight over my head. Like you said, I'd need to have studied the field. I don't have the framework that you do, and pursuing this further would make me feel hopelessly out of my depth. I don't like feeling stupid, so maybe it's best that we end this here. I hope you understand.

Final statement on my part: I concede that taking 1 000 people at random would be a relatively more accurate method of gauging trends within a 300 000 000+ population than selecting 1 000 people based on some unifying factor. However, despite the possible ignorance of the position, I still maintain that measuring the will of a 300 000 000+ population by the demographics of a survey of 1 000 is wildly inaccurate. Also, flipping the same coin N times isn't really analogous to peering into the opinions of several individual people because the object being measured is fundamentally different.

This could do to be reposted in any eventual thread about statistics, but to quote from Moore & McCabe, Introduction to the Practice of Statistics, 5th ed., 2006, pg. 238:

Quote
POPULATION SIZE DOESN'T MATTER

The variability of a statistic from a random sample does not depend on the size of the population, as long as the population is at least 100 times larger than the sample.

Why does the size of the population have little influence on the behavior of statistics of random samples? To see why this is plausible, imagine sampling harvested corn by thrusting a scoop into a lot of corn kernels. The scoop doesn't know whether it is surrounded by a bag of corn or an entire truckload. As long as the corn is well mixed (so that the scoop selects a random sample), the variability of the result depends only on the size of the scoop.

Turning around and saying that the point all along is actually that PC is a good thing and therefore the fallacious reasoning is totally not fallacious anymore is either a goalpost shift or a non-sequitor.

That's thing about attacking PC in particular, it isn't a blanket rejection of any hindrance to free expression or a rejection of mores and standards which mean certain things cannot be said. It is not really a free speech argument but being upset that the mores and morals which govern public discourse have changed. So in essence the complaints about PC are usually reactionary complaints about how those mores and morals have changed. Now there are exceptions and those are usually the people who reject that social constraint outright and do not harken back to a comfortable set of constraints but want to move forward to where you can say whatever the fuck you want.

UP, maybe stop surfing around in the flakier parts of Tumblr for a while. It's made you a bit paranoid and blindered when we're trying to discuss the actual reasons and relative merits behind changes in contemporary mores and ethics.

However, when your goal is to discredit social justice in the first place, surfing around the flakier parts of Tumblr is how you gather ammo.

If I really wanted to discredit social justice, I wouldn't have to plunge that deep.

And yet, that is your modus operandi. Any time you want to complain about uppity minorities, the first thing you do is go to tumblr, find someone saying something stupid, and act as though they are representative of the whole. For example, using Die Cis Scum from a few tumblrinas to act as though cisphobia is totally a thing.

Glad to see you're not letting your biases get the better of you.

No, I don't.  I use them to show that sometimes, the monster fighters become monstrous themselves.

For example, using Die Cis Scum from a few tumblrinas to act as though cisphobia is totally a thing.

Because it is.  And it's caused actual harm, to a trans boy no less.

Are all trans people cisphobic?  No.  Are all trans rights activists cisphobic?  No.  Is cisphobia as bad as transphobia?  If you look at the actual damage, no.  But that doesn't mean I'm going to let it go ignored.

  • Why are you more concerned with the negligible harm caused to cis people due to cisphobia than the life-ruining harm caused to trans people due to transphobia?

I don't.  I just think it's bad.

  • Do you still hold the opinion that oppression is a two-way street unless it's noble gamerboobers being oppresed by the eeeevil ess jay doubleyoos?)

I don't think "oppression" is the right word.  Something like "bigotry" probably works better in this case.

And I'd like some evidence of actual harm done by GamerGate.

  • Do you hold up the opinions of the few members of the oppressed class who agree with you against the numerous people that disagree with you because you think that members of The Other are a hivemind with all Real members sharing your opinion, or is it just because you're an ass?

Even if you were correct about the opinions they hold, what's right isn't always what's popular, and vice versa.

Nah. The way I see it, this comes from mainly two sources.

a) Certain types of feminists who feel that women are oppressed by the horrible patriarchy and that women are always the victims. Men and their penises are the enemy, the predators, that prey on the defenseless women. You know, the same folks who maintain their belief that PIV sex is ALWAYS rape and that even the women who think they are in a non-violent and consensual relationship are being mistreated and enslaved by their partner, they just don't realize it.

b) Certain types of mens right activists who think that men should do what was mentioned in the previous example.

The cartoon in question is a Republican soapbox. I doubt they are influenced by feminist rhetoric at all. (EDIT: Okay, I guess Tinsley does spend most of his time whining about political correctness. Insofar as he looks for any ridiculous thing someone says to stick on PC's reputation, he probably picked up a few misandrist talking points by chance.)

It's far more likely the writer is steeped in the actually-patriarchal, many-centuries-older notion that girls have a quality of "purity" that is stolen by men. A couple of leaps of conservative logic later and they've cooked up the notion that trans women are just faking it to get close to other women and "consume" them.

I don't think this is really a 'worst cartoon'.

Firstly it is really well drawn.

Second apart from the gratuitous labels (which are stock for political cartoons) is really clear.

Third I'm not sure that even politically it is worse because it is so over the top that I can't help but think it's satire. I mean trumps got high heeled boots on.

Finally I can't help but think it was drawn by Mr Garrison from Southpark particularly given the rather blatant homoerotic undertones going on, with Jeb Bush a damsel in distress and Trumps whole thing is fairly flaming. It is just what Mr Garrison would draw.

Say, isn't stealing a sin? Someone refresh my memory.....

Oh, here's the Deviantart page I found this on.

http://www.deviantart.com/art/Reality-of-atheism-596605553

You're welcome!

It is stealing because it's a redrawing of a cartoon where instead of a sign he's belting the guy with a cross and complains of impinging on his religious freedom when the guy goes to break it.

I suspected as much.

Ah yes, the atheist majority persecuting the poor Christians.

To be fair, that has happened in the past

No, it really hasn't. But nice try with the historical revisionism.

Actually Christians are currently the biggest recipients of religious discrimination but it is mainly happening in places like China and middle east (With the occasional minor cases in Catholic countries that offer special treatment to one branch or Christianity and treat other branches that are minority poorly.)

And then we got the people who think that they are being persecuted if someone suggest taking away the special position that Christianity still has in some countries because it is the "official state religion." Poland for example is giving Catholics all kind of special favours and if someone suggest things like, I dunno, making Catholic church pay for the religious classes that are held by Catholic priests in schools or at least letting the schools have some control over who is chosen as the teacher or what kind of religious studies they teach (since the tax payers are the ones paying for all of it currently) and you get people enraged as they see this as heretical act (some Polish politician implied that the devil is the one behind this new demand) and they fight tooth and nail to defend the "monoculturalism of Poland."

Much as I enjoy seeing a Christian get thrown to the e-lions, he didn't do anything worthy of criminal prosecution. Calling it "theft" and using words like "stolen" or "stealing" poisons the well and encourages a culture that overcriminalizes the social activity of producing derivative works.

I know such misrepresentation is encouraged by the corporate elite, but their interests in copyright are at odds with the interests of the public.

I mean, I disagree with John Kasich on basically everything (except when he says that a contested convention would be good for getting people focused on civics*), but at least he's stayed above the fray, refrained from insulting his opponents, and presented his case to be the Republican nominee in a polite, respectful manner.

Trump, meanwhile, called one of his main opponents "Little Marco," the other "Lyin' Ted," and talked about his dick during a national debate.

The second panel is debatable, I'm not sure how good the business idea that the fish has come up with actually is within that comic universe but a useful business idea that improves employment rates domestically is a good thing. And the third panel is either a stab at people who oppose refugees getting into your country or it's simply demand that people are hired to do a job only if they are qualified to do it.

Fuck me, it's a good thing I wasn't drinking anything when I read that otherwise I would have trashed my monitor. Also, that would make a good campaign slogan. (but I'm pretty sure it's spelt 'thicc', I try to keep up with the younglings and their memes)

Considering the worrying preponderance of fascists who happen to be homosexual, perhaps there is a deliberate overtone in the "we want to be led by a strong, manly man leader".

Jorg Heider for example demanded his bodyguards be "muscular, blond Aryan men". Presumably so he could ogle them in them tight fascist outfits.

I kind of pity the bastards considering what their preferred form of government invariably does to homosexuals.

Note that you will still find the same old "ugly women are always on the 'wrong' side" argument even today. I think one of the many complaints about Hillary Clinton has been that she is ugly and old in comparison to Trump's wife...

...As far as I know Obamacare has been mostly working ok, but sure let's rewrite the history.

Keep in mind that the ACA was originally Nixon's plan, then it was advocated for by the Heritage Foundation, and then it was the alternative to Clinton's plan proposed by Gingrich and Dole. The "individual mandate" is a conservative position, not a liberal one.

The major problem with the individual mandate is that it forces people to go to the private market without somehow instituting any form of price controls, whether through a regulatory body or by having a competing public option. As a result, private insurers, knowing people have to buy from them, have been able to hike their prices and make a killing from all the healthy twentysomethings who wouldn't have otherwise bought insurance.

That said, if the ACA had included a public option (IIRC it did in its original form but Obama wouldn't use the bully pulpit/threats of primary challenges to get it past the conservatives in his own party) the Republicans would want to kill it in order to "shrink government."

And the real reason for their objection to the ACA is the tax it imposes on people making more than $3,700,000 per year to fund the subsidies. The Republicans are the party of tax cuts, as long as you're really, really rich, and that's a tax they want cut.

Other than your average yearly bureaucratic bullshit, the healthcare I've gotten through the Medicaid expansion that the ACA had was pretty great. I'm pretty excited for Republicans to replace it with "Fuck you poor people, don't get sick." I think that'll be an even better system than going to actual doctors.

I have honestly no clue what this guy is trying to say.  Aside from the fact that yes consumers are against telemarketing spam and annoying ads, what does that have to do with the last panel?
That if there's no spam the only spam will be government spam all there is will be government spam therefore we must welcome and embrace every flashing ad for Russian "dating" services, "photos with boobs from history you wouldn't believe" and "drinking goat urine made me lose 80 pounds" or our glorious spam will not preserve and defend our freedom from their evil freedom hating spam.

Funnily enough, this is supposed to show that minimum wage is EVIL and that the poor should be left to die. But it is much easier to see this as an example of why minimum wage (and living wage) is necessary.

Actually, if we keep in the "hole in the boat" as a reference to how government giving aid to those who won't survive with just their wages is not a proper fix (and really, it does require using tax payer money to help people so that their employers wouldn't have to pay them a living wage) and instead you could make a law requiring everyone to get a living wage and thus avoid all of these problems.

Where does it imply that the poor should be left to die? It seems to be saying that the minimum wage is killing them.

Of course, the obvious problem is that it takes inequality as a given. If you really want to judge by contribution to society, or skillset for that matter, a landscaper probably deserves the same or higher than a business manager or a computer programmer.

Just for the sake of accuracy the effort, sacrifices and natural talent required to learn the skills needed in a profession also matter to the pay level.

That said, the way capitalism values different skillsets is far from just.

Minimum wage is set to the limit where people can survive, those who are drowning aren't earning enough money to survive but the EEEVIL government is saving them with welfare (and the welfare boat is sinking because governments are obviously incompetent and destroy themselves, or so Libertarians seem to believe.)

The implication is that welfare and government jobs should be removed completely and those who can't do jobs that pay enough to survive shouldn't.

Minimum wage is the water. The water is what is killing people. Ergo, the comic's implication is that minimum wage is destructive, and that welfare is a (broken) attempt to save people from the minimum wage. The artist does not want to leave them to drown; they want to get rid of the water.

Unfortunately, because this artist is just pandering to the base instead of trying to get any ideas across, this cartoon makes no attempt to explain why the minimum wage would be harmful to low-income workers.

The water is the minimum wage. The libertarian argument is that the minimum wage makes it illegal for you to hire people for less than a certain amount, and so it kills every job which provides less value than that amount (since nobody is going to hire you for more money than they make from your labour).

In this metaphor, removing the water means repealing minimum wage laws.

The cartoon does not bother to explain this because, like ~every political cartoon, it's aimed at people who already agree with it

Obviously all the other launches were faked. The Challenger launch happened when the secret overlords forgot to tell everyone to fake it and those NASA employees who aren't in on the secret actually fired the rocket for real.

Seriously though I don't think guys like Dees or Alex Jones support anything.  A liberal or a conservative support something, they have an ideology they think will make the world a better place and act according to that ideology's internal logic.

The Dees of the world however just want to be brave heroes fighting the EVILLLL powers that be.  So they grab anything that lets them feel like that no matter how little sense it makes or how much it contradicts other nonsense they buy into.  They don't care about fighting the plotters or making the world a better place, they just want to feel like messianic superheroes without doing any work.

American Individualism and excellence...hah, what a laugh it is that Republicans think they're standing up for such things.

I recall they were the ones who said numerous incredibly ignorant and insulting things about college, it was they who encourage people to not be individuals and to simply be one part of a Christian Congregation, and it was they who have slashed the education budget, ensuring our children cannot compete with Britain, France, and China's future children.

Republicans have long courted the lout, the inbred, the stupid, the poorly educated, those predisposed to being just cogs and unthinking pieces in the plans of others.

...I was coming here to post that Garrison comic.

It really does highlight all the ways that he sucks.

a) Star Trek was created to be an inclusive show with a very liberal bias.

b) Labels, labels too many labels. If the comic is supposed to be a metaphor then make one where the implications are clear enough without labeling everything in the comic.

c) Too much everything. We get that he is complaining about the pro-LGBT messages that he sees in media, but he is trying too much by simply filling the comic with every single buzzword he can think of and then seems to go into conspiracy mode with some kind of brainwash-signals from the CNN-bot.

d) The body proportions seem off on Captain Kirk, either he has stubby arms or Garrison can't do perspective well.

e) The comic does not include Kirk 'splaining anything. It's a complete non-sequitor.

f) Did the actor who played Sulu come out as trans? If not, then why these characters in particular?

Because Shatner recently complained about SJWs or something while George Takei has been an advocate of LGBT rights and all around great person all the time (also, he is gay so Garrison is probably attacking him for that.)

Seriously, Takei has been doing stuff like challenging homophobes and this:

In response to E, the word used in the comic is "manspreader", not "mansplainer". Though the concept of manspreading in a chair built for one is inherently quite silly.

I was going to post this Garrison Cartoon (although I was going to put it in the best - because Garrison cracks me up) Apart from the antisemitism, what is amazing about this cartoon is the cognitive dissonance that he still loves Trump but thinks that Trump has appointed a puppet of the illuminati as his national security advisor.

There is so much happening in this picture but I want to point out just one detail:

There's a statue of Bill Clinton getting a blowjob. Now, which is more offensive: Statues for honouring people who fought to retain slavery built only as a giant stone middle finger to minorities getting equal rights ...Or a statue of a guy, who at worst lied about a blowjob, which also presumably has been built as a "suck on this" symbol to political rivals?

Because to me it seems that slavery is the greater evil there.

In this installment of "stop making my stance look bad," we have Redpanels.

http://redpanels.com/comics/cultural-appropriation-comic.png (http://redpanels.com/comics/cultural-appropriation-comic.png)

I agree with the fundamental point this comic has about cultural appropriation complaints. Yes, most cases of "appropriation" are benign. Yes, the sharing of culture and invention has caused far more good than harm. Yes, there's a double standard regarding how most of the complaints are directed at white people.

However, it seems like the toolbox who draws this can't even make a valid point without screwing it up somehow. Black people invented more than just peanut butter, you racist idiot.

I know we say this every time, but Garrison has really gone off the rails.

(https://i.redditmedia.com/awveZ4bdobjN_Yx8vxQ1jnLfr8WC1ukfbTjG1fbkY8U.jpg?w=1001&s=5a95d9349bdc9c658f6f313510063941)

The accompanying quote really has to be read to be believed:
Quote
"The Hole Truth"

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

― Emma Lazarus

These lines appear on a bronze plaque that was installed in 1903 at the base of the Statue of Liberty. Lazarus was a Jewish poet who greatly admired Henry George, an economist who helped spark the progressive era.

It’s an era that brought us the Federal Reserve, the Income Tax, endless foreign wars, myriad social programs, the UN, globalism and the worship of big government.

Many in the Democrat Party proudly call themselves progressives these days, but their philosophy to me is synonymous with socialism. Why can’t we have the best and brightest coming here? No, Emma wanted the ‘refuse’ instead because she enjoyed playing God and imagined herself ‘helping’ them. She was a moral person who would do anything to obtain the fix of being ‘good.’ It must have given her a warm, inner glow to write what she did and the progressives mades sure her sentiments were set in stone in order to make sure everyone knew how good she was. Her plaque is nothing more than progressive virtue signaling.

It has been said that progressives see people as they want them to be. Conservatives see people for who they are. Progressives in Europe (and many of them in America) have welcomed Muslim immigrants with open arms while thinking, “They’re just like us.” No, they’re not. Their culture is completely different. Islam is not just a religion, it’s a political ideology. Its adherents see it as their duty to dominate unbelievers, which they call pejoratively refer to as ‘kafir.’ Muslims love to exploit the stupid kafir and soak up money from welfare programs while also causing crime rates to spike. Many enjoy raping the kafir women, who are asking for it because they don’t wear burkas. Muslims also create no-go zones. They don’t want to assimilate with the kafir. They insist the latter assimilate into their system instead. They insist upon Sharia Law, not the Magna Carta. We don’t need to import disparate cultures with tyrannical ideologies from violent, failed countries. They are NOT ‘just like us.’

In America, President Eisenhower forcibly deported 1.3 million illegal Mexican immigrants under a program titled ‘Operation Wetback.’ Progressives abhorred this ’shameful’ initiative, but Eisenhower’s job was to enforce the law and he proved that it’s possible to deport a great many illegal aliens. In the late 70’s, Jimmy Carter put his bleeding progressive heart on display for everyone to applaud. In a massive display of progressive virtue signaling, he allowed Cuban refugees to come to America. Fidel Castro promptly and laughingly emptied his prisons onto foolish America. In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan signed a bill that allowed nearly three million illegal aliens to gain legal status. Most were from Mexico. What do you think the result was? Millions more beat a path into America to take jobs and get free stuff.

Currently we have another president who wants to enforce the law. Do we have borders or don’t we? Progressives want open borders. Not only do they want legalization, they insist the illegals should also be able to import their families into America. This is known as ‘chain migration,’ but the progressives object to the word ‘chain,’ because they say it hints of slavery. Maybe they’re right—because the U.S. taxpayer becomes the slave to pay for such mindless, progressive egalitarianism.

President Trump and conservatives want a wall on our border—and the immigration laws enforced. Donald Trump is not a big fan of progressivism or political correctness. It’s a big reason why he was elected. The progressives despise the president and hurl the usual names at him, but words such as ‘racist’ and ‘bigot’ are rapidly losing their effectiveness. Those hurling such insults now come across as silly and desperate. It’s not the job of the United States to help people all over the globe by bringing them into America. The progressive Democrats disagree. They know that the wretches who come here and are given a spate of free stuff will almost certainly vote for Democrats.

Progressivism at its essence is nothing more than juvenile virtue signaling.

That’s all it is. But it’s a dangerous form of virtue signaling. They want to help people all over the world and they want you to know they’re good, moral people who will sacrifice your tax dollars to do it. Yes, they’re volunteering your labor to make it happen—by force! We’re talking slavery here. The utopia-obsessed progressives always use government, their favorite instrument of that force, to rob taxpayers at virtual gunpoint to help others. Big government continually grows larger and more corrupt in order to help solve disease, hunger, poverty and crime all over the world. We send aid via vast sums of money all over the world to help the contemptuous recipients, but somehow the problems never get solved! Haiti has remained a dung hole for centuries, while Japan, Germany and South Korea became economic powerhouses only a few decades after devastating wars completely wiped out everything. Could it be that some cultures are superior to others? No. To progressives, that’s bigotry. They prefer to see all people and cultures as ‘equal.’

Progressivism is a form of insanity because they’re not in tune with reality. They have an ostentatious desire to make everyone safe, well-fed, educated, comfortable, and happy. To make it all happen they want to import endless and massive amounts of wretches from shit holes around the world. Most of them will promptly try to change America into a shit hole.

—Ben Garrison

The risk in vaccinations is not a sore arm. There is a genuine risk that they cause real harm for the individual being vaccinated. The problem with the anti-vaxxer logic is that they both exaggerate the probability of such harm and also come up with imaginary side effects. Not acknowledging the real side effects creates a hole in the argument that the anti-vaxxers can take advantage of.

It's interesting how the human psyche sees taking active steps that have a tiny change to cause serious harm as more suspicious than being passive and taking a comparatively huge risk.

Alright, there's been some debate on that and I think it is a good example of why Garrison labels every goddamn thing in his cartoons. He is incapable of making things clear when he tries to be subtle.

Note the literal "Jew nose" on the skull, the skull has also been labeled as "WAR" which, I suppose, implies that the Syrian war is a Jewish plot that Trump and Putin have been dragged into unwillingly. Also there's some other symbol carved into it but I'm not sure what that is.

I originally thought that the cartoon is critique of Trump's actions but clearly the REAL culprits according to Garrison are the Jews. Don't ask why or he'll probably go on an hour rant on how Jewish cabal control the world.

Trump and Putin seem upset which implies that they didn't want the war and they are merely prisoners of the Jew-war-skull.

False flag event, which is also a flag because this is about as clever as Garrison can get also appears to imply that Assad didn't do the chemical attacks or whatever and it's just another ploy. (Possibly by the Jews.)

Syria being represented by a Syria shaped (and labeled) piece is pretty clear.

Needs more labels.

After looking at it further, you are correct - the Sikh symbol is extremely similar but a morning look reveals the differences.

1974 Justice Department memos aside (in which they said the President couldn't on the principle that nobody can be a judge in their own case), he just might, but it should trigger immediate impeachment proceedings (which cannot be overruled by a pardon). Though I suspect that the current House would let it slide, and even if they impeached, Senate Republicans would vote to acquit as "payback" for Democrats voting to acquit Clinton (even though a few Republicans joined).

accepting the Presidential pardon means admitting guilt. That is something that we talked about before and there is precedent for it. If he does pardon himself (or people too close to himself) USA either has to impeach him or lose last shreds of their respectability.

How Trump seems to not be able to say a bad thing about Putin but will trash all of our allies. How Russia interfered with our election. It's all good as long as there guy wins.

John McCain's career (both political and military) is the definition of "on the other hand".

On the one hand, he graduated 894th of 899 from his class at West Point and was generally regarded as a fuck-up aboard ship; on the other hand, he behaved more heroically than anyone had a right to ask when he was captured by the North Vietnamese.

On the one hand, he did McCain-Feingold; on the other hand, he voted for every GOP tax-cuts-for-the-rich bill.

On the one hand, he opposed torture; on the other hand, he pushed US participation in illegal, illegitimate wars.

On the one hand, he treated matters like Rove's "illegitimate black child" push polling, the "Obama is a Muslim!" issue, and Trump's "people who weren't captured" with dignity; on the other hand, he mostly voted with Bush and Trump.

And so on, and so on...

Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons

This incident has many levels.

Serena didn't apparently do anything wrong during the game.

Naomi Osaka was just better than Serena and would have won the game even without that referee doing his stunts. She earned her victory and the way she was treated is disgusting.

The referee wrongly punished Serena and has been known for making questionable or wrong punishments even before this.

Serena is a sore loser. People may not be aware because she loses so damn rarely.

The crowd treated Osaka poorly and she deserved better.

Much of the reactions to Serena's tantrum has been tainted with racism and misogynism. Similar tantrums from white-male players are discussed in a completely different tone and they are merely seen as "outspoken" or defending themselves by being assertive while a black woman who acts similarly does not get a similar overly positive twist on the events.

Serena Williams was playing against Naomi Osaka in the finals when the Ump decided to throw some unjust accusations her way and penalize her for it.  She then confronted him, as you do, and he further doubled down, basically costing her the match in some eyes.  Of course Osaka was kicking her ass before that is lost on many.  So we get...that trash from a racist rag.

One of the pro-Brexit politicians complained that in May's deal Britain will lose their representatives in EU and can't vote for EU laws anymore... I think she tried to rephrase that later.

The real issue is that what she is offering now is pretty much what EU said would happen early on. The best deal they can get is the same deal as the one Norway has, no power in EU and they'll have to pay their share but they get the benefits that members would get.

A real Brexit would be a disaster, but they spent two years claiming that leaving EU will mean that they get unicorns and all the cotton candy they can eat with not a single worry in the world. Now that reality is turning out to be a much more bleak fate they are in panic mode and try to blame things on everyone else.

Why is the coffee cup sitting in a puddle of water and why has no one cleaned it up? Has this artist ever seen the inside of an apartment before? Why did he smudge grey on the back wall? why is the man about to sit down in what I assume is a dog food bowl? Are they saying that if they have kids now then by the time they're adults there just won't magically be a climate crisis anymore?

I honestly thought the helmet was a beanie and the dude was some kinda hipster.

Alright, Garrison has gone as far as he can at making Trump look comically-sexy-buff. Either draw the man with a meter long cock or stop it now.

Other than that this has barely any labels and therefore is not peak-Garrison.

It should be noted that his current comics are ridiculously pro-Trump and his hatred and obsession of Hillary Clinton is only surpassed by his desire to draw Trump as a muscular and attractive young man.

Unlike the /pol/ modifications he doesn't seem to have antisemitism in his comics but he has absorbed some of the Alt-Right talking points.

Garrison is a Libertarian.  In his view, government shouldn't exist at all; the free market should decide everything.  He loves Trump because Trump is a "big businessman", and thus smarter and better that the average person... Evidence notwithstanding.

Libertarians only really care about one thing; reducing their tax rate to zero.

I noticed last year that "Nazis were SOCIALISTS and therefore leftists" really became a talking point for a lot of right wingers. Not just a random joke or two here and there, it was actually something that a lot of Alt-Right and other extremists began a concentrated effort to spread. Common enough that the "And I suppose North-Korea is a democracy?" became a meme as a reply to it.

I suspect that it was some sort of effort to put the blame about Nazis onto the "Left" so that Alt-Right (who insist on not being Neo-Nazis) could then say that since they are right-wing, they can't be Nazis.

I'm pretty sure a vast majority of jews are not an-caps. So that doesn't make sense either. Is he trying to say that AnCaps were victimized in the holocaust?

So many questions I doubt I'll ever get the answer to.

Comparison to Palin is insulting. Ocasio-Cortez does misspeak occasionally when it comes to details but unlike with Palin there is actual substance behind what she says so it's easy to see what she means. This is another example of how folks on the right are looking for ways to use superficial comparisons to reflect back narratives used to attack them. She does need to learn to communicate better on the long run, though. This kind of weakness can slowly eat away her credibility if she keeps giving her critics easy ammo and her honey moon with her supporters won't last forever.

Of course. Just goes to show that, contrary to what some Trump supporters seem to believe, denigrating politicians for stupid reasons is nothing new. They keep talking about how this kind of criticism is "unprecedented", when it goes back to at least Ancient Rome.

There are valid reasons to criticize AOC. She demonstrated a frankly rather worrying (https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2018/jul/18/alexandria-ocasio-cortez/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-wrong-several-counts-abou/) lack of understanding about unemployment. And when she got called out for her factual errors, she downplayed the importance of objective fact (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/01/07/alexandria-ocasio-cortezs-very-bad-defense-her-falsehoods/?utm_term=.45abec679f24). Those are good angles to criticize her. But who the hell cares about her dancing? Why should we dismiss her ideas out of hand instead of actually analyzing them? She has her faults and certainly shouldn't be treated as a sacred cow, but please, criticize her for substantive reasons.

I think another factor is that, whatever her faults, she seems to genuinely understand and care about the plight of the economically disadvantaged. They're afraid said people might view her as an alternative to Trump. Since they think she's a bigger threat to them and their backers than Trump, they really don't want that to happen.

You know, I never saw her as stupid. She does annoy me, but for other reasons. Like she hasn't made the transition from activist to member of the U.S. Congress. That I believe leads to her emotional appeals over facts. Her Green New Deal is evidence of that. She's pushing way too far way to fast, but she's young yet.

No, her socialism in and of itself never bothered me. But, and this is key, I do not trust my government. Not one bit. Not to keep me safe, not to keep me educated, not to keep me healthy, not to stop crime, nothing. I don't think it's tin foil hat malevolence as much as it is incompetence and bureaucratic inertia.

To which I would say two things: one, maybe Congress could use some activists, and two, we've got about a decade to address climate change, and it costs more money to repair disaster damage than it would to implement programs to get off polluting energy sources, so there's really no such thing as "too far too fast" here.

No, her socialism in and of itself never bothered me. But, and this is key, I do not trust my government. Not one bit.

And yet when you look at basically every other developed democracy, she's a moderate, at best a ho-hum social democrat.

1. Editorial cartoons about celebs are still considered "political". Yeah, it's a little weird when you think about it, but I'm not the one who made the rules.

2. Not offended? That's fine. I never said you should be. But I find it rather offensive because it's harshly criticizing a movie critic, to the point of basically calling him an idiot, less than a week after he died. That was pretty much a slap in the face to anybody grieving his passing. And what did Ebert do to warrant this? Having opinions Rall disagreed with.

Plenty of people got upset when Rall's cartoon was published. Entire essays have been written attacking these six panels. I say this not to say you should agree with me, just to say I'm far from alone in my opinion.

You don't have to be offended. All I'm asking is that you try to understand why people were.

Well, they're not wrong. To say that animal farming isn't exactly environmentally friendly would be the understatement of the century. It's one of the reasons why we need to make synthetic meat a thing sooner rather than later.

Of course, the lions share of the responsibility for cutting pollution should be on corporations, rather than the average consumer, in the first place. Eating less meat, turning off the lights a little more often and not using straws is all well and good, but if you really want to make an impact, but it's not actually going to do anything if we ignore the likes of pretty much the entire tech industry and their planned obsolescence, making millions of smartphones and computers the like that are basically bricks packed full of lovely lovely toxins, with the express intention that they'll all be thrown out and replaced as often as they possibly can get away with. Naturally, this all ties into the greater issue that corporations and their profits are pretty much untouchable, no matter how dire the situation.

Actually industrial farming is much more sustainable than regular one. The amount of meat produced is much greater and if we cut down on industrial farming and pesticides and so on there'd be no way to feed the current human population.

Problems come mainly from distributing the food and the fact that western people eat way too much meat (meat production requires more resources than plant production) so going vegan, vegetarian or even just cutting down on the amount of meat you consume would be saving resources. If on the other hand we keep eating the way we currently do but try to produce the meat with "organic" methods then we are going to see mass starvation and the amount of extra farmlands and farms required would destroy the remaining rainforests.

I can't wait until the tech is here (and its coming soon, baby) so that we can cheaply reproduce cow/chicken/etc muscle cells into meat and have delicious steaks and burgs and vegans can't bitch about carnists ruining the environment, because now we won't have to. We already can do this, its just very expensive.

"Racial IQ differences" are almost certainly due to environmental, cultural, and socioeconomic factors. Or should we compare a gated community in Singapore to some dying Appalachian mining town and use that as "evidence" that whites are inherently dumber than Asians?

And that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the "racial IQ" bullshit.

There's apparently a dispute on the alt-right about whether or not to hate the Jews in addition to blacks and Hispanics and Muslims and such.

The argument for hating Jews is basically because when you think about it, in the US, blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, and such really don't have the economic or political clout to make things miserable for whites. So if the conspiracy theory's going to hang together, there needs to be another group to which such clout can be attributed that's manipulating everything behind the scenes, and the Jews are (as they so often are) the most convenient scapegoat.

White Supremacy is changing all the time as the definition of white changes.  Catholics from Europe used to not count but now even the the alt-right is fine with them.  A few decades ago at least some neo-nazi types were interested in making an alliance with Islamists against Israel, but now Muslim immigrants have become the big enemy so I could imagine some Nazis wanting to join forces with the Israeli far right, who have started to grow their own pro-Hitler members

The novel, I'm reading at the moment (an English translation of the Israeli book Judas, by Amos Oz -from 1988 but set in 1960s) addresses how the process of colonisation and the use of force (power) by the israelis were destined to create a fascist state. The key part of fascism being rule by the ingroup simply because you are the ingroup.

Now that's what I call strange bedfellows.
Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons
Post by: davedan on June 04, 2019, 09:39:36 pm
Are they really strange bedfellows? They have the same idea in principle, they simply disagree as to which identity is superior. They probably agree to the extent that identities should be kept separate.

One of the interesting things is that separating jews from Gentiles (as part of Judaism) must have played a significant role in the survival of jewish identity during the Babylonian exile, the diaspora, the destruction of the temple and the subsequent pogroms and persecutions. So many other religions from that time have died out or are on the cusp. Two examples are the Samaritans and the Zoroastrians.

Although I am an atheist I think my worry about this is the creeping sameness and monoculture which appears to be part of the 21st century in everything from Music, Movies, Television, Architecture and Religion.

Where it gets even more interesting is on the issue of supporting Israel, because you'll get the more honest anti-Semites (like David Duke) who are actually anti-Israel (or at least not pro-Israel), and then you'll have the ones who hide behind support for Israel to dispute any claims of anti-Semitism.

The catch with that latter group is that they're often Christians (especially evangelicals) who support Israel because its existence as a state is necessary for certain end-times prophecies in the Bible to come to pass... prophecies which, if they did come to pass, predict the forced conversion or death of all Jews, which is an extremely anti-Semitic desire.

Ethnonationalist in different countries have the same goals so they get along very well and share tactical insights with each other. It doesn't matter for the likes of Netanyahu if his bedfellows abroad hate and persecute the Jews in their countries since that just gives these Jews incentives to move to Israel which is part of the far right project there. Some extreme Zionists use the same ideological talking points as Nazis about racial bloodlines/genetics and their inherent connection to ancient homelands where everyone of that race (and only them) belongs to.

When a "centrist" obsessed with horseshoe theory brings them up it is usually as a well-meaning but unintentional distraction, when a conservative or a crypto-nazi does this it's an intentional one.

Sure, if it was a someone with a different forum history I would give them the benefit of a doubt that this is just an interesting historical incident they remembered.

Quote
The Nazis were left-wing socialists. Yes, the National Socialist Workers Party of Germany, otherwise known as the Nazi Party, was indeed socialist and it had a lot in common with the modern left. Hitler preached class warfare, agitating the working class to resist “exploitation” by capitalists , particularly Jewish capitalists, of course. Their programs called for the nationalization of education, health care, transportation, and other major industries. They instituted and vigorously enforced a strict gun control regimen. They encouraged pornography, illegitimacy, and abortion, and they denounced Christians as right-wing fanatics. Yet a popular myth persists that the Nazis themselves were right-wing extremists. This insidious lie biases the entire political landscape today.

Quote from: Convicted felon Dinesh D'Souza
In statement after statement, Hitler could not be clearer about his socialist commitments. He said, for example, in a 1927 speech, “We are socialists. We are the enemies of today’s capitalist system of exploitation … and we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions.”

Quote
The Nazis were left-wing socialists. Yes, the National Socialist Workers Party of Germany, otherwise known as the Nazi Party, was indeed socialist and it had a lot in common with the modern left. Hitler preached class warfare, agitating the working class to resist “exploitation” by capitalists , particularly Jewish capitalists, of course. Their programs called for the nationalization of education, health care, transportation, and other major industries. They instituted and vigorously enforced a strict gun control regimen. They encouraged pornography, illegitimacy, and abortion, and they denounced Christians as right-wing fanatics. Yet a popular myth persists that the Nazis themselves were right-wing extremists. This insidious lie biases the entire political landscape today.

Quote from: Convicted felon Dinesh D'Souza
In statement after statement, Hitler could not be clearer about his socialist commitments. He said, for example, in a 1927 speech, “We are socialists. We are the enemies of today’s capitalist system of exploitation … and we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions.”

Yeah, I knew there were people who say the Nazis were left-wing. Their "evidence" usually amounts to the word "socialist" being in the party's formal name.

The only way the concern troll would admit someone might be a white supremacist is if they were recorded reciting the 14 words while making the Nazi salute. Even then, he would probably claim that they are just trolling. You know, because it is unfair to use inductive reasoning to make conclusions about anyone's motives including his.

Yeah, it seems our very concerned man here has a thing against inductive reasoning - and of course he defends Sessions with "BUH IT WUZ A JOOOOOKE!" Its not a joke. And even if it was, it wouldn't matter.

"Very fine people" was in exactly the right context. And how about that. You're using the same defense Faux Noise uses whenever a conservative gets into trouble for racism or homophobia - It Was Taken Out of Context.

You want more names? How about Steve King. Kobach. Stephen Miller.

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/ This website has a long, long list of right wing people in power and authority. Then again, they're probably too biased for Chaos Undivided, not enough letting conservatives have say in things.

And yes, acknowledging proven scientific fact IS bias when the left wing position is "the science is clear" and the right wing position is "GAWD WILL SAAAAAAVE US!"

Who the hell said anything about murder? The discussion was about power. You don't need institutional power to clap someone, just a gun.
Did Ultimate Skyfirin' Reverse Anal just imply that the capacity to commit violence is divorced from measurable power?

It goes without saying that White Supremacists do at the very least have the blessing of a federal US institutions that would rather not acknowledge their deliberate attempts to sow political terror through acts of terrorism as, y'know-terrorism (https://theintercept.com/2019/03/23/domestic-terrorism-fbi-prosecutions/) who'll still slap that label on the fuckin' Animal Liberation Front. (https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/news/testimony/the-threat-of-eco-terrorism)

A quick gander at the FBI's 'domestic terrorism' page shows a couple of blacks, hispanics and women one of whom is an animal liberationist (https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/dt)-and a distinct lack of Nazis. Weird.

That is institutional power, when institutions give you a free pass.

That's a page for domestic terrorists considered to be at large, not domestic terrorists in general. And it seems like the crimes that got them designated terrorists were committed decades ago, least for the most part.

Dylan Roof got taken to burger king after he was arrested shooting people...

No, they bought him food FROM a Burger King (https://www.snopes.com/news/2015/06/22/dylann-roof-burger-king/). And there's an article that explains why:

Quote
With the department’s phone ringing nonstop in the background, the young suspect with the bowl-cut hair was locked away in a second-floor conference room with an officer watching over him.

“Organized chaos,” Ledford later called it. “Because there were so many moving parts.”

Including feeding the unexpected arrestee.

“He hadn’t eaten, they said, in a couple of days,” [Pastor Strickland] Maddox said. “They bought him a hamburger. They just sent out for it. I guess one of the police officers went and picked it up.”

Ledford confirmed that this purchase was made.

“He did have something to eat while he was there, and he was secured in cuffs the entire time,” the chief said.

Well, if you read the speech, you'll know that he also said this:

Quote
And you had people, and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. OK?

Exactly.  Trump's statement in context was equivocating bullshit.  The rally was lead by Richard Spencer specifically to promote the alt-right and Nazism.  If there was anyone important at the rally who wasn't part of that please tell me who.  "Very Fine People" was part of a larger theme of Trump dancing around the issue and playing both sideism.

And yeah Chaos, I don't think you actually read the link, because you said that politifact said trump was taken out of context when the link you provide does not make that claim, it just provides the full transcript of what he said without making a statement over if his "Very fine people" quote was in context or not.

It is also worth noting Trumps equivocation on issues that are concrete fact: Russia’s interference in our election, Saudi Arabia’s murder of Jamal Khashoggi, Viktor Orban’s crackdown on freedoms of speech and press, Obama’s birth certificate, among many others.

So, Trump’s word salad where he does say “white supremacy is bad but there are plenty of good people on both sides” is just a way of creating doubt about concrete facts: the Charlottesville event was planned, advertised, and scheduled by white supremacists, the people marched and chanted “blood and soil” and “Jews will not replace us,” there were numerous Nazi flags and other hate symbols that would notify anyone of the marches true meaning.

Tl;dr- Trump is less than credible and fabricates doubt where there is none because he’s a sophist.

When politics does not seem to affect you personally, when no one is campaigning to make your sexuality illegal or otherwise about to harm you, it just doesn't seem important.

I still suspect you'll see Pelosi move on obstruction after the debt ceiling and government funding bills are finally done later this year.  Until then, they can't risk giving Trump a reason to be a moron, as he can single-handedly block those bills, and he won't understand why passing those bills is so important.  After all, declaring bankruptcy and laughing has been his go-to business move for most of his life; why wouldn't it work for the US too?

Privileged doesn't necessarily mean wealthy. You can have working class - usually but not always white - kids who are annoyed that "SJWs" are policing their language and complain about their casual "ironic" mocking of minorities "for lulz".

This privileged attitude of everything is for lulz and people who complain (i.e. whom it actually effects and realize it) are just "SJWs" who oppress them can very easily be used to support fascistic ideas and luring/pushing them into actual fascism step by step. The memelords generally have very little real political consciousness to start with but the actual Nazis are actively encouraging this phenomenon and finding new ways to pull people in.

BOOM! What do you say to that?`

In his notes he explains who the right-wing memers in the picture are because nothing says "famous and successful memer" like being forced to name each of them and explain how being retweeted by Trump twice(!) makes you notable.

Quote

    The Left can’t meme, while the Right has an impressive roll call of Meme Warriors. When it comes to funny, high impact memes that launch weaponized truth directly at the Left’s delusional fantasies, the Right wins every time! The Meme Warriors include:

    Carpe Donktum, his memes have been retweeted by President Trump twice. @carpedonktum

    The Geekz Team, his amazing action memes are incredible. @thegeekzteam

    Mad Liberals, A perfect combination of memes that make liberals cry salty tears with a dash of Monty Python. @mad_liberals

    Solmemes, A regular meme workhorse pumping out high quality memes that give the left bad dreams. @Solmemes1

    Thug Life, The warrior behind the scenes that enhances memes for everyone and produces those memes where people end up with glasses and a joint. @ThugLifenewShit

    Big Game Productions, Making MAGA manga style video comic books and Making Comic Books Great Again! @BGProductions

    Something Wicked, he has an arsenal of video game memes. @som3thingwicked

    TT Cube, The meme warrior’s tech guy, if any one has any questions, he is the man to ask. @tt_cube

So basically this just came about so the dude who drew it could jerk off his twitter pal's egos? Nice.

I think that's supposed to be Schumer. But I don't think anyone from the Democrats wants to impeach Pelosi.

There's going to be pressure mounting on her either to allow an impeachment inquiry to begin or to step down as Speaker.

And frankly, they should impeach--just not on obstruction. (The argument "you can't have obstruction without an underlying crime," while wrong, will resonate with all too many people.) They should impeach over emoluments, because on that one they have Trump completely cold (remember, Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm), and it's actually a Constitutional demand on the President, and so any Republican who votes against impeachment or conviction can be instantly branded as not giving a fuck about the Constitution.

I still suspect you'll see Pelosi move on obstruction after the debt ceiling and government funding bills are finally done later this year.  Until then, they can't risk giving Trump a reason to be a moron, as he can single-handedly block those bills, and he won't understand why passing those bills is so important.  After all, declaring bankruptcy and laughing has been his go-to business move for most of his life; why wouldn't it work for the US too?

Trump doesn't need a reason to be a moron on that stuff. He already set a record for the longest government shutdown; who says he won't try again? (Trump can rally his base against any Republican who votes to override his vetoes, after all, and they saw what happened to Mark Sanford, they're seeing what's happening to Justin Amash, and they have the lion's share of Senators up for reelection this time around.)

And bankruptcy is, as you say, his business model, so he doesn't really need a reason to veto the debt ceiling bill, either.

So there's still going to be pressure on Pelosi either to allow an impeachment inquiry or to step down--or, perhaps, if Trump does veto one of those bills, to try to get enough Senate Republicans (who aren't up for reelection) onside to invoke the 25th Amendment.

My point is, she doesn't want to hand him an easy excuse to do those things.  If he just does them because, then people are going to point the finger at him (except for his idiot base, of course).  But if the Dems start impeachment first, then he'll use it as a shield, and the equally idiot US MSM will help him.  And let's be straight; although Trump is a moron, McConnell is not.  If it looks like the Repubs will take 100% of the blame for a debt default, McConnell will cave on it - because he really doesn't want to be on the hook for the results of THAT...

I decided to take a look at these supposed "epic memes" from mad_liberals, and I have to say, I'm quite thoroughly disappointed. I expected a lot more than lame video edits of movie clips and imagined things of what they like to think Democrats might have said.

It just reminds me of a critique of the Half Hour News Hour that I read once. The critique basically boiled down to "liberal humor works because they make fun of things conservatives actually say; conservative humor doesn't work because they have to make up words to put in Democrats' mouths to make fun of them for it". There sure is plenty of the latter in mad_liberals so-called "epic memes".

I remember there was one anti-vax group called Autism speaks that made a "documentary" that included a woman who said when she found out her kid was autistic she planned to lock the kid in her car and push it off a cliff.  And she only didn't because of how it might affect her "normal children".  And she said that right in front of the kid, who is perfectly capable of understanding what she said.  And the anti-vaxxers completely took her side and were all "Look how hard it is to raise an autistic child poor woman."

Add to that the fuckers who try to cure autism with bleach enemas and there is a shocking number of people who would rather see kids dead then autistic.

It's easy to do 180 turns like this when you think anti-Semitism as empty rhetoric to weaponize instead of a real world phenomenon. Bigots don't see accusations about their bigotry as anything more than that.

Also seeing what nice person Aang is, I think the reason he's so upset in that meme is because he noticed that on of the girls is emotionally unstable and suicidal and wants to help her, unlike incels who tell anyone with such issues "It's over, just Rope!"

Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons
Post by: dpareja on December 28, 2019, 01:53:44 pm
The sick thing is, it's the more intelligent racists (like David Duke) who blame everything on the Jews.

Because if you actually stop and think about it for a moment, in the West, at least, blacks, hispanics, Arabs, etc., don't have the financial or political power to actually make white people's lives bad. But there is a ready-made other that can be made to appear so: the Jews.

The even sicker thing is that a lot of these same racists and anti-Semites (like Steve King) will hide their grotesque anti-Semitism behind their support for Israel, which is actually because of an even deeper anti-Semitic position, that of Christian eschatology, in which, according to the Book of Revelation, Israel must exist for the apocalypse to come about (though to do that they'd also need to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque to rebuild the Temple, but that's fine in their books because they hate Muslims, too), and then, during the apocalypse, Jesus will return and force every Jew either to convert to Christianity or be killed.

Combine that with Jews who think that every Jew needs to move to Israel in order for the Messiah to return, and damn anyone else who was already living there, and Muslims who consider it all theirs (it once having been Muslim land, just like much of, say, Spain), and you have a recipe for unending conflict and human suffering.

Yeah, hardcore anti-Semites have always believed some really nonsensical things. The blood libel, for example, falls apart when you realize that blood (human or otherwise) isn't kosher. And for a more modern example, Islamic extremists really hate Jews, so why would Jews want to bring them in?

Foxconn, the iPhone manufacturer famous for the number of suicides at its factories, also made phones for BlackBerry. Maybe Fairphone does better, idk, but it is in fact genuinely hard to buy a smartphone that wasn't made using Chinese labour under shitty conditions.

Increasingly, smartphone ownership is in fact a requirement to participate in society (Internet access is, definitely, and I don't think non-smartphone electronics are much better re: labour conditions).

Foxconn-BlackBerry deal (https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2013/12/20/blackberry-earnings/4140253/). The current manufacturer of BlackBerry phones is TCL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCL_Corporation), also a Chinese corporation (with their own labour issues, ofc, see for instance (http://www.chinalaborwatch.org/report/110)). I don't know what The Good Shopping Guide bases their rankings on, they don't provide explanations or sources.

The article about shifting to Vietnam does not provide numbers for how many phones are now produced in each country, but in any case what makes you think labour conditions are any better there? Cheaper labour is specifically cited as a reason for shifting production*; usually factories can't get their labour cheaper than sweatshops by not being sweatshops, which is precisely why sweatshops exist.

*"Vietnam’s labour force is half as expensive, and seven years younger on average, than China’s." is certainly a sentence that fills me with confidence about labour conditions.
Title: Re: Worst Political Cartoons

Huh. Apparently, I stand corrected. Still, I know for a fact that my current BlackBerry was made in Canada.

As for the Vietnam thing, I think you might be making it sound worse than it is. The average age of Chinese factory workers is older than many think. IIRC, the lion's share of factory workers in China are migrant workers, and their average age is 40.2 years old (https://clb.org.hk/content/migrant-workers-and-their-children). The average age of all Chinese factory workers might be younger, but it's probably not by very much. Vietnam is also one of the few countries to tie minimum wages to living wages. So cheaper labor may not necessarily mean abused workers, since Vietnam's cost of living is significantly lower than China's.

It's likely more accurate to say that your phone was assembled in Canada. There are still going to be components that are simply not available in bulk outside of China. Compromises have to be made in some areas. It's simply unavoidable. Does that mean that you shouldn't advocate for better labor conditions? Of course not. But it is naive to think that you can make THAT much effort for literally everything you buy. For TVs and other flatscreen monitors? There is no screen manufacturer that produces LCD and OLED screens outside of east Asia. Computer hardware? Well, surprisingly, there are a few things you can get (https://www.neweggbusiness.com/smartbuyer/components/born-in-the-usa-computer-hardware-made-in-america/), but most components are manufactured in Asia or Latin America. And again, a lot of those components would be more accurately described as assembled in America.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. This is because it's functionally impossible to live without having to support unethical practices somewhere.

I make the effort. But even though I do this, I acknowledge that it may not be feasible for everybody. Still, I think that if someone's capable of making informed and ethical choices in consumption, they should at least try.

Huh. Apparently, I stand corrected. Still, I know for a fact that my current BlackBerry was made in Canada.

It's likely more accurate to say that your phone was assembled in Canada. There are still going to be components that are simply not available in bulk outside of China. Compromises have to be made in some areas. It's simply unavoidable. Does that mean that you shouldn't advocate for better labor conditions? Of course not. But it is naive to think that you can make THAT much effort for literally everything you buy. For TVs and other flatscreen monitors? There is no screen manufacturer that produces LCD and OLED screens outside of east Asia. Computer hardware? Well, surprisingly, there are a few things you can get (https://www.neweggbusiness.com/smartbuyer/components/born-in-the-usa-computer-hardware-made-in-america/), but most components are manufactured in Asia or Latin America. And again, a lot of those components would be more accurately described as assembled in America.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. This is because it's functionally impossible to live without having to support unethical practices somewhere.

When you say "East Asia", are you including Japan and South Korea?

But you do have a point. While I think the "no ethical consumption under capitalism" soundbite is both exaggerated and overly narrow, it's true that sometimes, there is no good option. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try for the lesser evil. And there are sacrifices that can be made, like buying secondhand so you're not directly supporting exploitative practices.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Or at least very, very little. Enough that it's near impossible if you aren't living off-grid.

I've heard that song-and-dance before, and frankly, I'm not convinced for reasons I've discussed above. There are ethical options that often get overlooked.

Or is there an economic system with a greater amount of ethical consumption than capitalism?

And WHY do they get overlooked. Because of how the system is set up. It pays big bucks to get around loopholes or use child slaves in African mines instead of actual workers that you have to like, pay money so they could actually eat and shit. Just like without protest it pays for companies to cheaply test stuff on animals that ends up hurting them, or it pays for cops to just get away with choking people to death. The profit motive means a lot of people who have the power to get away with things will do harmful actions simply because they can.

And yes, there is and there will be a more ethical system. Democratic Socialism, maybe even Anarchism and actual limited government some point in the future when its the workers that are no longer alienated and are making decisions they know will affect other people like them more directly and be disincentivized from doing things that increase the likelihood of suffering..

Sorry, but if I have to deal with the realities of how things are right now, so do you. No hypothetical systems. You (rightly) wouldn't accept the currently hypothetical, idealized version of capitalism where nobody gets exploited, after all.

Short slogans like this are always generalizations. The main target of this statement is to dismantle the idea that you can make the capitalist system ethical with atomized consumer decisions. You can make decisions that do less harm an are thus morally better and less unethical but unless you completely step outside the capitalist system your consumption always supports unethical structures. Organized boycotts can have effects on a limited scale and personal lifestyle choices limit the harm you personally cause but to solve systemic problems you have to think as a politically active citizen, not as a consumer who makes choices between brands.

It's just another representation of the "Trump is God's chosen saviour" complex evangelical Christians have had for years now. They need it to rationalise away the fact that he's literally everything they've been (outwardly) preaching against for decades. (Of course, their real policy agenda is racism, and on that front he's golden.)

I'unno, I could see her living somewhere in the northern parts of Washington state, just chilling and growing vegetables and shit.  Has some nice local guy deliver her groceries once a week, but other than that, just lives happily alone.  Away from the insane fucking family into which she'd married.  Maybe only letting Barron know where she's at and keeping contact with him, trying to keep the poor bastard sane.

Should be noted that it was single digit temperatures for about two weeks straight here in Wisconsin. And yet no power outages. It's almost like the issue isn't the kind of power plants Texas has, but rather their failure to winterize them....

Hell, if Texas was hooked up to an interstate grid they could've just imported energy from states that produce an excess and give it away for a song, like California.

Of course, that would mean making their grid subject to federal regulation, which would mean having to winterize it, which would've mitigated much of what happened anyway.
