OK someone else talk to him about this. He has had as much access to the Pew reports as much as we have.

Do you have any other reasons for what you think Muslims think, besides opinion polls?

WTF do you want? Anecdotes? Lived Experience?

Would anyone here deny that the images that come to most people's minds when they think of Muslims, are people that they see as being across some racial divide from them?

Maybe not dressing like you're from another century might help with acceptance by modern, Western society.

Also, Nastik Deliberations on FTB has an optimistic post on the discovery of helium in Africa, writing:

Helium discovery in Africa – a game changer ?

Actually I have only a vague idea about uses of Helium. Also I did not knew much about its dwindling supplies. Only by reading this post by fellow Ftb blogger and scientist Abe Drayton about the new discovery of Helium in Tanzania that I realised its importance.

When we hear day in and day out about valuable resources drying out, this discovery is quite a game changer. Hope such good news will keep on coming. Hope the poor in Africa will get some real benefit from this.

History shows us that discovery of valuable resources in an African country is inevitably a blessing, promoting stability and improving the standard of living for all, especially the poor.

;)
... the standard of living in China, but yeah.

Nowadays prices start quite high by comparison to just a couple of years ago. The range is now from US$500-US$2,000. Compare and contrast with this old price list:

- A woman aged 40 to 50 - 50,000 dinars (£27)
- A woman aged 30 to 40 - 75,000 dinars (£40)
- A woman aged 20 to 30 - 100,000 dinars (£53)
- A girl, aged 10 to 20 - 150,000 dinars (£80)
- A child under nine - 200,000 dinars (£106)

WTF are they doing? They captured lot and lots of slave women so prices should have remained low. That implies that they are using them up quite rapidly, hence the price increase all around.

Maybe you have Aneris on ignore and have missed the real reason for the price increase: Brexit (and consequent fall in the value of the Pound).

Great find, katamari -- Ruth Haydock is the gift that keeps on giving!

I have just been for a run and I am sitting here in a daze, watching the plumes of incense twirl in my living room. Two threads of smoke spiral and dance wherever they please across the room. Carefree and beautiful. I absolutely love the smell of incense, so much so that I have to stop burning it because my eyes burn with the smoke and I now have a headache.

On Friday, Britain voted to leave the EU and I feel like a bulldozer just came in and wrecked my freshly painted little safe haven of self that I had built. I had started to fix the cracks and making sure that all those parts of me that are still damaged from before were better now.
I have not felt this upset in a long time and I spent most of this weekend drinking to forget it. But now, that I have sobered up and have had time to absorb, I still feel just as much in shock as I did on Friday.

By voting to leave, Britain has legitimised racism.
We have legitimised harassment of foreigners.

I had been told that I was worthless, I had been told I was nothing,.... not getting the answers that I felt I needed to calm the distress I was experiencing, the distressful doubts that were torturing me constantly, the distressful flashes of fear, the distressful moments where I was engulfed in a panic about death, by not getting an answer from him it confirmed that I was not worth the answers..... I was in so much pain. Pain that I can only now articulate. It was a pain that I have blanked out now it was so horrific. My mind felt like it was folding in on itself. I was plagued by panic, plagued by regrets and plagued by fear of death. To blank it out I was constantly busying my mind with more than one thing to focus on like watching TV and knitting at the same time, by concentrating on two things at once I managed to momentarily drown out the noise in my head. The panic. The fear. The flashes felt crippling, like someone was dragging barbed wire through my head. I felt like my world was falling apart. Like I was losing my mind. "

The rhetorical assassin Brony has posted a Carrier length post where he attempts to psychoanalyze a troll commenter. The length of it alone is quite comical, but skimreading it I noticed a part where he tries to analyze why trolls like to mention Nerd of Redhead. The funniest part is at the end though, where he gives us this gem:

(9) I have a long term goal of being able to identify rapists and abusers on the internet by the patterns contained in their text. I do not yet have that level of skill, but it’s become useful to point out when a person’s positions make life easier for rapists and abusers. Much useful rhetoric can be added to that substance.

Quick, someone, get Brony away from that computer! He's using up all letters from the Internet!

[Aneris]

So it's May vs Leadsom for the Tory leadership. Anyone care to put money on Leadsom?

Leadsom states that Christianity has a central role in her life. She told Tim Ross of The Daily Telegraph: "I am a very committed Christian. I think my values and everything I do is driven by that." She participates in "various Bible studies groups" with other parliamentarians and prays "all the time"

[feathers]

Holy fucking shit, dude. I see you guys make fun of Brony all the time but have never read anything of his. I didn't make it more than a couple hundred words before wigging out. When I see something odd I tend to first question my own sanity, rather than the sanity of the world. This sentence just had too many WTF moments.

The reason I see things this way is that brain science has to be able to explain the phenomena of criticism at it’s most basic level and the phenomena that I believe most closely compares to it is the dominance display, and that seems to be correlated to what testosterone does on a computational level in both male and female people

This is an explanation of why he believes literally any time you correct anybody it is an "attack".

Yeah, diagonally reading he's trying to tell you that you shouldn't discuss on a discussion board.

And the only comment he got so far is Morales pointing out his abuse of it's/its :)

I'm curious if anyone here would deny that "Arabs" is a racial classification, and if anyone here would deny that the images that come to most people's minds when they think of Muslims are images of Arabs.

Actually "Arabs" tends to describe arab language speakers as well as the Afro-asian semitic people that live in the where the Arabia peninsula and Africa intersect. It has more than one meaning.

Also if you are Brit you tend to think Paki?

Yep

[feathers]

... that feminist deck thing has gone tits up. She managed to scam the vain fools for 30k out of them so it's all good.

And of course, using the ploy Anita used when she announced she wouldn't complete her Kickstarter video series, it was at least in part due to harrassment by internet trolls and misogynists.
...
The interesting question is when will Heina finally announce she has no intention of writing that book after collecting Kickstarter funds? (Or maybe the question should be: Will she actually make an announcement (as the deck lady did), or just move on without acknowledging it was a scam?)

Unfortunately, the announcement "An update, an apology" is backers-only (copy/mirror someone?), but the funders are already resigned to their non-refund:

Morons.

Sounds related to twerker. Only racist when you apply it to a whole race but not racist when you apply it to an individual of a race or something. But we might need 4 months an a hundred pages to get it sorted out.

I posted this about Theresa May last sunday too

Hmm, watching an interview with Theresa May, the favourite to become the next PM, and it's being crafted to give a more personal insight. She just said she is a practicing christian and she had to miss church to do this interview. Still quite rare for politicians to say they are atheist, even in what is effectively a secular society. The christianity-lite of the CofE still is given approval, disappointing. Oh well, keep chipping away.

Eternal.
Everlasting.

and fantasises about reading them aloud at a slam poety event, which only depresses her further because she doesn't have the spoons or whatever to recite them publically.

I cry.
I am shy.
I ache to bless you.
With my weeping words.
But I can't.
Because of my cunt.
Prisoner of the patriarchy.
Soft plaything of.

More like SJWs have avoided taking him on. In the same way humans best not wade into the ocean, covered in blood, to take on a fucking Great White Shark.

Pretty clear from looking over Ruth Haydock's Patheos page that she's a former indoctrinated Christian who's now boldly shed all that superstitious shit in favour of being indoctrinated by social justice.

They don’t have the right to tell me that they think I am pretty, to try and make me feel that they have some hold over me. They have no right to say anything to me. They will not make me feel unsafe.

Some of you may read this and think that these compliments are harmless. No. I feel unsafe. They harm me. They make me feel on edge, that “harmless” comment about me being beautiful, could lead to them following me down a street and raping me. So yes they are harmful.

Whoa, what??

Also, note the humblebrag. *ting*

I'm not joking at all when I say a majority of SJWs need to be going to regular behavioral therapy sessions. This is from an Adria Richards interview describing the situation where two men made dongle jokes in her proximity.

“Have you ever had an altercation at school and you could feel the hairs rise up on your back?” she asked me.

“You felt fear?” I asked.

“Danger,” she said. “Clearly my body was telling me, ‘You are unsafe.’”

“Have you ever heard that thing, men are afraid that women will laugh at them and women are afraid that men will kill them?” she replied. “So. Yeah.”

I told Adria that people might consider that an overblown thing to say. She had, after all, been at a tech conference with 2,000 bystanders.

“Sure,” she replied. “And those people would probably be white and they would probably be male.”

She honestly, legitimately thought it was a possibility the two men making jokes might murder her while 2,000 onlookers looked on, taking no action whatsoever. I'm no psychiatrist, but that has to rise to the level of mental illness.

That was from Jon Ronson's book about being publically shamed. It did Adria no favours at all - she came across as utterly impermeable to reason, despite Ronson trying to paint her in a sympathetic light by making clear she had a tough childhood. In the end, even he got a little exasperated with her.

Yes, it's a bit silly, Jet_lagg, but social anxiety and/or fear does trigger some of the same circuits as physical fear, so she's actually got a point.

I suspect the majority of the SJW evo psych critics are at the level of Becca W., so perhaps they find the prospect of locking horns with Gaad Saad a bit intimidating.

Speaking of Kristi Winters, Noel Plum got fed up with her horrible condescension and launched a 57-minute jeremiad on her double standards and factual inaccuracies. Noel's normally keeps his videos short and fairly direct. This one stayed direct (if not short). It's a fun watch if you find Kristi Winters unbearable and want to see her get a good shoeing on Youtube.

She will claim not to have watched it, which now seems to be her MO with Noel's videos - but you know she did. Saying you haven't watched them saves her from the impossible struggle of trying to rationalize her own actions with the high standards she uses to dismiss others.

I forgot to mention that the video also contains a lot of good information that I'd not heard regarding the "tampon tax", which Kristi brought up as one of her three key pieces of evidence that the UK was a patriarchy.

I'm not denigrating her for having mental health issues but rather pointing out that they are mental health issues, and the proper way to address them is with therapy, not fleeing to ideological frameworks that allow you to justify your neurosis.

I love "could" its such a great word. Much like "might" it justifies almost anything: "Buy Ferix! They could be the greatest shoes youve ever worn in your life!" Well they could be, but its pretty unlikely since they appear to be made from sandpaper.

Yes, if youve had the bad luck to run across a psychopath, a comment about your beauty could lead to them following you down a street and raping you. So could a comment about the price of prawns. Thats the thing about psychopaths. Meanwhile in the real world, comments about your beauty are likely only made in the misplaced hope that they might lead to a smile, and comments about the price of prawns indicate nothing more than someone's intent to make a curry or do some grilling.

I listened to that yesterday while I was pretending to work. I will need to have another go. I like Noel Plum but his speeches are so full of caveats and almost $teersman-like recursion that I find it hard to be present by the time he gets to his actual point.

I suffer from social anxiety, and I have NEVER felt like acting in the same manner as Adria Richards. It is the opposite, in fact. I let loads of "microagressions" fly, because raising them with someone would involve me doing stuff that would make me anxious.

I don't believe Adria suffers from social anxiety. That is an excuse, the same bogus "microagression" and "triggering" excuse all SJWs lie about.

Adria Richards has a hairy back?

You know the old jokes about feminists, and them letting things grow au naturelle...

One of the very few advantages for a bloke living with a feminist, is he doesn't have to worry about his razor blades going missing.

I see that the House Republicans are furious that Hillary Clinton isn't going to jail for using a private email server.
How come Bush and Cheney didn't go to jail for war crimes and lying to congress to start a war? :think:

With SJW-style feminists, razor blades are the first thing I'd check.

I wish my lawn were SJW so it would cut itself...
