If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

Interesting take on SJWism here, which the author refers to as 'Purity Leftism': http://mattbruenig.com/2012/05/10/purity-leftism/ It does appear to explain a lot of the actual apathy we see from, for example, the A+ crowd: they talk extensively about doing stuff...but in the end, they never really...

The poster called "Hunt" may be interested in this recent post by a bible scholar: Building a Hedge around the Historical Jesus Dickson’s post is the usual litany of supposedly solid evidence that we’ve all seen before. Most of it is of the “throw-it-on-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks” variety...

What is this Joe Rogan crap all about? I notice her defenders didn't take long to start with the "Criticism of my Feminist Hero is (almost) Rape" tactic.

What the hell is going on with this one?

This. Actually, the honest truth is that they entirely fail when it comes to being leftist. To the point where even though they kinda opine that they are, I do not think they are at all. How can they be? They're trying to do "Social Justice" while entirely ignoring issues of class. For all the talk...

Amanda Marcotte is apparently a new media buffoon. I just looked her up in Wikipedia and followed some of the links. Turns out she was one of those people who went full batshit that anybody would dare assume the innocence of athletic, mostly white young males accused of rape. In case anybody is out ...

My fave picture from her post about "men hate woman's bodies" - http://freethoughtblogs.com/taslima/files/2012/05/legshaving.jpg OMG men make women bleeeeeed by forcing them to shave their legs!!!! Because western women these days absolutely love both body and facial hair, worn wild and free. No wo...

Why do every time these guys get criticised they say "OMG Call the cops !"? I wrote an article criticising an inaccurate article by Greta Christina on my blog a few weeks back and had Hjhornbeck saying "Why do you care so much? It's a blog post, not a formal paper! OMG Let's hang her!" I was listen...

I went on a 500 calorie a day diet last summer. I ate lean meats and veggies. I exercised for about an hour each day. I was rarely hungry. A few years ago I was on a 1200 calorie a day diet, and was eating mostly...carbs. I spent most of my time thinking about food - I was ravenously hungry. I fina...

GLUUUTENNN.... since some people are weak as snails against it, gluten must be like, a totally evil anti nutrient that no human should be eating. Now that I think about it, there are many people that can't eat certain nuts! Those are anti nutrients too, clearly. A substantial percentage of the popu...

And its those blatant double standards that fucking piss me off big time. I agree. For example, if the American Indians ever decide to pull an Israel, they'd be totally justified in walling off all the whites, blacks, and many hispanics inside disconnected bits of Alaska and Wyoming while keeping m...

Don't make me go into my dragon stance, Laslow.

I have a question about "Pre-Patriarchy", the alleged time prior to roughly the invention of agriculture. One assertion is that people didn't connect having sex with pregnancy. I find this very hard to believe that people who organized mammoth hunts, built fish dams, figured out that thirsty monkeys...

QFT. And speaking of population, I just love how silly liberals and conservatives love to say 'oh, population growth isn't a problem, the earth can easily support 12 billion people, we just have to grow more food!!!' Yeah, like people aren't gonna be greedy, or fight over access to these future res...

Here is an example of Dobkin's "music". Trigger warning for ear pain and misandric words . Damn you, SN. I totally musically rubbernecked by clicking that. I always pondered what might happen if we gave various separatist groups a portion of isolated Federal Lands or some Atolls in the Pacific to s...

The thing about the "hard men" of the sjw lot is that, just like julian "i'll break your neck" i cannot for the life of me take them seriously. I think for me anyway their uber threats are the best lolz i get in the whole show. I get the mental picture of some dweeb who is a ninja mage in his favou...

Gotta be Boston.

What a fucking load of old bollocks . Most of that guy's pictures are funny, but I think the problem they have is exactly that there are some poses that are a "girl thing" (looks through the window to see if the mob with pitchfork is already here). It's obviously going to look weird if you get a gu...

I'm a bit late to the game here, but regarding circumcision: I'm circumcised, and I've never felt upset about it at all, nor can I think of any ill effects I've suffered because of it. If anyone here is circumcised, and wishes they weren't, can you explain why? Ditto. Whenever I hear ludicrous comp...

Yeah Way to miss the point. Yes the "costs" of the procedure are higher for adults, although I'm not sure about some risks (adults tend to be better at fighting infection, say). The point is what balance of those 4 cost/benefit factors could lead to Parental consent, rather than an expected/mandato...

YEOW!!!!

[spoiler] Re circumcision campaign: --It causes unnecessary pain. --Guaranteed at least some of that will be done to underage boys. --It does not prevent AIDS even if risk is a bit lower, and spreading the lie that it's protective rather than the truth that barrier (condom) protection is needed, gi...

All else being equal the quality of the water makes a huge difference. Apparantly you do not know this (I assume others do not also) hence my post. Ignore the bit about Florida if it bothers you so much. /shrug (and my last post on how water impacts baking bread) The kind and quantity of minerals i...

I guess I have much of an anarchist bent - decentralized, local voluntary decision making whenever possible.

Economic Left/Right: -7.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.87

Ah, sorry another lurker, I responded to bubblesort but not you, I guess the preview button is my friend. Yes, inequality is a major factor, and I agree that a hard life or even periods of high stress engenders more superstitious thought. I live in a third world country now and superstition is every...

Chilly P: I have been meaning to read Steven Pinker's new book The Better Angels of our Nature . I also found this study to be an interesting read: ftp://psyftp.mcmaster.ca/dalywilson/sshrc2004/wilkinsonCrime.pdf As inequality rises, so do crime rates.

Male bonding over misogyny In real life, and as mirrored in media images, men bond with each other through observing and perpetrating acts of misogyny, such as working in groups to sexually harass women, watching misogynistic pornography together, and sexually abusing women such as in sharing hired...

Yes, standard of living and inequality as well. And, as politically incorrect it is for me to say so, homogenous populations. And good jobs for the unskilled and semi-skilled. To climb a ladder, you can't pull out the lowest rungs and expect those at the bottom to reach the top by themselves in one ...

[youtube]Ooa98FHuaU0[/youtube] This is a great video. The US has experienced an approximately 50% drop in violent crime and murder in the past 20 years. You never hear about it anywhere; most people think we're still in the midst of a crime wave. A few nasty places gin up our numbers, but the median...

What is with these A+ers and other SJWs? They are completely obsessed with words. Reminds me of those 19th Century Victorian Women's Decency Groups who policed anything said or written for "Decency". You know, only horses sweat, men perspire and women glow type crap; White Meat instead of Breast Mea...
