I will be burning in hell, no doubt, but my first thought when I saw this was "Oh, please, I hope Godfrey is on the phone right now".

I forgive you. The attacks aren't funny and I feel sad for the victims.
But still, Godfrey would have been hilarious.
He's already a legend. I just know we haven't heard the last of him :)

We need to really change our whole fucking strategy for this goddamn muslim situation.

not with occupation or nation building bs.

Bomb isis to the Stoneage. Seriously, how are they able to hang a flag outside without a fucking missile for breakfast.? How do they acquire strongholds? Stronghold = target rich environment

Set up hundreds of honeypot recruiters in every foreign country. Arrest them as they "plan".

Infiltrate isis communication system. Seriously, they are in communication . fucking get on it NSA

Release all those videos of terrorists fucking goats, or other retarded shit. Spend hundreds of millions mass market in isis regions, and communities they recruit in. Plaster their nasty deeds on billboards, news segments, etc.

Spread rumors about isis fighters having gay sex with each other, as they miss their families back home.

Citizens can help

Photoshop all the faces of mothers of isis terrorist leaders and/or recent martyr into hard core taboo porn and release it as a calendar, or perhaps tweet these images to the terrorist twitter accounts.

Can any commercial drones be safely launched near enough to fly over isis? If so drop nasty nasty snitch jackets with terrorist names on them and pictures of fake headlines around the world united in condemnation for their primary revenue of producing child pornography that mocks the Quran.

Cunts.

Are you saying they are wrong?
It's well known the US has inadvertently given ISIL plenty of weapons.
I don't know as much about France or the UK other than knowing they are our allies in the War on Terror.

This doesn't make those victims any less victims.
But stupid refugee and open borders policies, half-assed and seemingly unintelligent meddling with stable governments (such as Libya) does have consequences, esp when the religion in Question consists of probably 20 to 30 percent hard line crazies.

Not the worst I've seen from #FullMcIntosh, all in all.

He is correct that is wrong to leap to conclusions about refugees, and that this attack is terrible news for refugees, who will no doubt face further persecution.

Ya know, John, I kind of hope they get you next.
You've been a destructive prick and a drain on US society.
And you always defend people based purely on politics. Heck, in some ways I respect ISIL more than you as they are more consistent with their beliefs.
No, I'd never doxx you, and I know you've killed no one (probably not even indirectly via causing a suicide..yet). But you sure are an easy motherfucker to hate.

UN-EFFING-BELIEVABLE! Mizzou protesters are ANGRY Paris terror attacks stole their MEDIA SPOTLIGHT!!!

[Guest_84d94f98]

[youtube]iQfz5OmNUKE[/youtube]

Anyone care to explain what's going on?

1. He is pushing his favored democratic candidate Bernie Sanders.
2. He is using early (current) phone polling, and assuming that will stay true when there are only a Democrat and Republican candidate in the run. I don't know for a fact, but I think that is overly presumptuous. Once people only have two choices, they tend to fall in line.
3. He is correct that the "swing" states are the only ones that really matter. Most states in the US assign their electoral votes to whichever candidate gets the majority of the votes in that state. So for example, Ohio has 18 electoral votes due to its population size. If 50.0001% of Ohio voters pick Donald Trump, then Trump gets all 18 electoral votes. (Yes, it is a tad bit more complicated that that, but what I have said boils down to the functional truth.)

The "swing" states are the ones that historically flip-flop between choosing Republican and Democrat candidates. All of the other states historically will always choose either Democrat or Republican. It just doesn't change. Think of it like a state being in its own facebook bubble. California will always vote for a Democrat president. Texas will always vote for a Republican president.

Here is a map of the swing states in off-white:
politico.com/magazine/story/2015/05/2016-predictions-117554
Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Ohio, Virginia, New Hampshire & Florida

So it really doesn't matter what the rest of the country thinks as that is mostly set in stone. What matters is what the majority of voters in those swing states choose.

4. As to the whole Clinton trust issue, it is what I would expect it to be similar to other countries suspicion of career politicians. People tend to be suspicious of candidates lying to them. Long time career candidates tend to have even less trust. They have the baggage of all of their past choices and actions, which probably conflicts with the beautiful dreams they try to sell the electorate. After Bill Clinton left office, she moved to New York state, to become their state Senator. Not because she was from there, but because it was deemed a savvy stepping stone to make her appear to be a more viable presidential candidate. And it did help her. But playing the game too calculating well leads to distrust.

The Republicans have been gunning for her for almost a decade, as they have always seen her as a top potential Democrat candidate. That has taken its toll on her reputation. She carries a bit of baggage from her time as Sectary of State, but most of that is a forced "controversy" from the Republican side.

The private email server has probably hurt her a bit legitimately since it has been shown that correspondence had to do with state activity. It is seen as an illegal run around Sunshine & accountability laws. Not to mention stupid as hell since it lacked proper security.

IT incompetence aside, I do believe she has the best set of work experience to be President. I am not sure that I would vote for her.

IS is the middle eastern equivalent of the Mex cartels, Mafia, and whatever organized crime outfit anywhere in the world. They made their empire in smuggling, government corruption, protection rackets, and on and on.
I saw a video where a Chicano gangster joined the Syrian army on you tube.

We need to really change our whole fucking strategy for this goddamn muslim situation.

not with occupation or nation building bs.

Bomb isis to the Stoneage. Seriously, how are they able to hang a flag outside without a fucking missile for breakfast.? How do they acquire strongholds? Stronghold = target rich environment

Have you forgotten about the US drone program? Have you forgotten that often we get tons of kids and innocents too because these people aren't separated from the populace in most areas they control?

Set up hundreds of honeypot recruiters in every foreign country. Arrest them as they "plan".

We have a tremendous lack of language trained 'recruiters' esp of a passable Muslim ethnicity so I'm afraid this plan is of limited use. The US DOES use the "honeypot" technique in the US to get presumed "future Jihadists" but we mostly get stupid teens who have no weapons or plans until the "honeypotters" give them to them.

Infiltrate isis communication system. Seriously, they are in communication . fucking get on it NSA

They already limit use of cellphones (and change them often) because the US and NSA has done this very successfully. There are ways of communicating that don't rely on high tech you know.

Release all those videos of terrorists fucking goats, or other retarded shit. Spend hundreds of millions mass market in isis regions, and communities they recruit in. Plaster their nasty deeds on billboards, news segments, etc.

We clearly don't have many videos of them fucking goats and they are quite adept at making their own enemies anyway. Plus, some of what we would regard as 'nasty deeds' the vast majority of Sunni Muslims would support. Arguably we don't need to do this as everytime they massacre some shiites or other religious minorities they make more enemies.

Spread rumors about isis fighters having gay sex with each other, as they miss their families back home.

Citizens can help

Photoshop all the faces of mothers of isis terrorist leaders and/or recent martyr into hard core taboo porn and release it as a calendar, or perhaps tweet these images to the terrorist twitter accounts.

Unless said citizens are seperated by thousands of miles or well armed, said citizens would seem to have to have a death wish.

Can any commercial drones be safely launched near enough to fly over isis? If so drop nasty nasty snitch jackets with terrorist names on them and pictures of fake headlines around the world united in condemnation for their primary revenue of producing child pornography that mocks the Quran.

Their supporters would never believe that. When their enemies (whom FOR THE MOST PART we should not fool ourselves are any less xenophobic or any more evolved in terms of human rights) begin the pushbacks and the mass killings they will find this propoganda very useful to their cause.

Look, I know you are frustrated but most of what you suggest has already been tried, and sadly unless we want to kill Muslims indiscriminately I'm afraid taking out ISIL totally from the air is a no-go. This will only be won on the ground and in 'hearts and minds'.

Horrific as this is, my first reaction was “only 100? What a low number! I’m pretty sure the U.S. has had more deaths from mass shootings alone this year.” (And I was apparently right; The Gun Violence Archive says 288 right now, with a month and a half to go.) So, is it more appalling that I am desensitized to this degree, or that the U.S. is so filled with guns that major disasters in other countries would barely be noticeable here? I’m torn.

A few posts down is 'Tashiliciously Shriked', also playing by the SJW copybook and fretting not over the lives lost but by getting s/h/it's self all triggered by imagining what the right wing will do:

The only thing going through my mind at this is “Well so much for Europe accepting Syrian refugees now”. And the non-stop right wing bullshit about this being ALL MOOSLEEMS and shit and I just can’t anymore.

This is going to turn into a new rallying cry by racists for even more hard-right movement against any and all Islamic countries or people. Or those who look like it.

Which is exactly what the fuckers who orchestrated this while massacre want.

I’m just going to curl up somewhere, Watch Hercules Poirot on Netflix, and ignore the world for the rest of the year.

That's because you are gross, Crip.

But not quite as gross as Lynnia, OM, who shamelessly dredges up that beloved SJW cliche of blaming the right-wing on killings commited by muslims. Not directly, as you can see, which makes it all the filthier. No, s/h/it just sees fit to bring this little factoid into the conversation.

Saw Brian Williams interview a woman who has been studying extremism in France. She made the point that the rightwing politicians have been pumping hate speech into an already volatile situation. The far right politicians now have about 25% of the population behind them.

New immigrants, and second generation immigrants, still do not feel like they are part of France. Those populations have been subjected to hate crimes.

The economy in Europe is not great. Young people have a hard time getting a job.

Even Crip Dyke can see what a mere slip of manners Lynna, OM has accomplished here, and is quick to offer an apologia. But only for fear that some ghastly shithead might not read s/h/it charitably.

....makes it worse.

On behalf of Lynna, because I know eventually someone uncharitable will come into the thread:

Lynna is not saying that murder is justified by economics and/or employment and/or past hate crimes against someone with whom you share the experience of being an immigrant.

Lynna is saying that we know empirically that when these factors come together that murder is more common. I believe that Lynna is asserting this in order to bolster a claim of recklessness by the rightwing politicians who engage in hate speech (i.e. “they should have know it was a tinder keg into which they tossed their fiery words).

i think when put baldly like that, Lynna would probably also like it clarified that such hate speech also does not justify murder.

I think what’s being articulated is that even if the murders are unjustifiable, the speech was hurtful, stupid, and unwise.

Having done all that to defend Lynna, I will say, however, that I’m with Ophelia Benson on the general principle that discussing bad speech in the aftermath of these attacks carries the appearance of victim blaming and may tend to shut down free speech. The principle has limits, of course, but maybe we could save analysis of stupid shit for a later thread

That's exactly the time and place to discuss "hate speech" in France. Unbelievable, just unbelievable. :?

Islam needs to be reformed and secularized. I don't give a shit about "tradition". I don't give a shit about "culture". If your tradition inspires you to commit or support this evil acts, your tradition is wrong and needs to change.

Let's get rid of any privilege given to Islam. No more Muslim courts in the UK. Absolutely no public funds for mosques or Muslim schools. No religious teaching in public school. Stiff punishments for Muslims who violate the laws of a liberal, democratic state.

We also need to be able to call Islam for what it is: the religion that inspires terrorists, that justifies slavery and child rape, that is the most mysogynistic, homophobic and illiberal system of belief ever conceived.

Fuck political correctness. Fuck all the sniveling SJWs who still care more about shit swastikas than dead people. Fuck all their attempts to call criticism and satire of Islam "racism". Fuck all their proposals to label criticism, satire and blasphemy "hate speech".

Looks like Skepticon is a literal echo chamber.

[Really?]

This may be it for Skepticon. They're not posting pics from events. Not much of a mystery why:

Why is everyone seemingly depressed about this? SKepticon organizers aren't sad...why would we be upset?

Can we get a kickstarter going for this?

Blankets for Bedouin. (Yeah, I know, fuck off.)
Sheets for Shi'ites. (Yeah, I know, fuck off.)

I love your sense of humor, but you really need to let the blood coagulate first. In other words: too Sunni.

[dog puke]

Paris. Fuck. Horrible, shocking thing. Islam is evil.

Fuck all the Islam apologists.

Fuck all the dhimmi SJWs.

Islam needs to be reformed and secularized. I don't give a shit about "tradition". I don't give a shit about "culture". If your tradition inspires you to commit or support this evil acts, your tradition is wrong and needs to change.

Let's get rid of any privilege given to Islam. No more Muslim courts in the UK. Absolutely no public funds for mosques or Muslim schools. No religious teaching in public school. Stiff punishments for Muslims who violate the laws of a liberal, democratic state.

We also need to be able to call Islam for what it is: the religion that inspires terrorists, that justifies slavery and child rape, that is the most mysogynistic, homophobic and illiberal system of belief ever conceived.

Fuck political correctness. Fuck all the sniveling SJWs who still care more about shit swastikas than dead people. Fuck all their attempts to call criticism and satire of Islam "racism". Fuck all their proposals to label criticism, satire and blasphemy "hate speech".

Indeed. Relative to which, an article I ran across from Australia (pay wall by the look of it); the lead-in:

Muslim schools ‘fail to comply’
The federal government is threatening to freeze the funding of Muslim schools around the country after an audit found serious governance issues at colleges run by the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils. Following an audit announced in ....

And: "Radical Islam and the Rage Against Modernity" from Kenan Malik.

And:

Trojan horse inquiry: 'A coordinated agenda to impose hardline Sunni Islam'
Investigation finds Islamist plan would have confined pupils in Birmingham schools to 'intolerant monoculture' if left unchecked

Hard not to conclude that "we", the West, are engaged in a clash of civilizations with Islam, Paris just being "their" latest inning at bat. But if that's the case then one might reasonably ask, what the fuck are we doing creating fifth columns in our midst?

Crip Dyke, Right Reverend Feminist FuckToy of Death & Her Handmaiden

Fuck.

I was just talking about Paris in a thread of Mano’s and how nice I found the people there. Terrorism shouldn’t have to be denounced, so I feel conflicted about making a gratuitous statement of denunciation, but I have so little to offer, knowing so few people in the area, and being out of contact with those I do know for so long.

I feel gross.

Fuck you Crip Dyke. You feel gross because you ARE gross.

Saw Brian Williams interview a woman who has been studying extremism in France. She made the point that the rightwing politicians have been pumping hate speech into an already volatile situation. The far right politicians now have about 25% of the population behind them.

New immigrants, and second generation immigrants, still do not feel like they are part of France. Those populations have been subjected to hate crimes.

The economy in Europe is not great. Young people have a hard time getting a job.

Yes, yes, it's all the fault of the eeevil racist west. How comes that it's always the Muslim who do this kind of things?

The Eastern European, Sub Saharan and South American Christians, the Indians (Hindus and Sikhs), the Chinese, all suffer from economical problems and from racism/xenophobia exactly as much as the Muslims.

How comes that they never react in this way? If terrorism is caused by poverty and racism, why are only Muslims the ones who become terrorists?

On behalf of Lynna, because I know eventually someone uncharitable will come into the thread:

Lynna is not saying that murder is justified by economics and/or employment and/or past hate crimes against someone with whom you share the experience of being an immigrant.

Lynna is saying that we know empirically that when these factors come together that murder is more common. I believe that Lynna is asserting this in order to bolster a claim of recklessness by the rightwing politicians who engage in hate speech (i.e. “they should have know it was a tinder keg into which they tossed their fiery words).

i think when put baldly like that, Lynna would probably also like it clarified that such hate speech also does not justify murder.

I think what’s being articulated is that even if the murders are unjustifiable, the speech was hurtful, stupid, and unwise.

Having done all that to defend Lynna, I will say, however, that I’m with Ophelia Benson on the general principle that discussing bad speech in the aftermath of these attacks carries the appearance of victim blaming and may tend to shut down free speech. The principle has limits, of course, but maybe we could save analysis of stupid shit for a later thread

Some egregious mirror-climbing here. Lynna wrote an incredibly dumb, indefensible post. Even Crip Dyke is forced to "interpret" her post in a a creative way to make some senses of it. She fails.

The truth is that poverty and marginalization aren't the main factors that motivate terrorism. Islam is.

Islam is a reactionary, dogmatic, authoritarian, sexist, homophobic, incoherent, morally despicable mess.

The best thing is that Skepticon is Peez's baby. If he'd refused Eberhard's request to appear at the first and subsequent conferences, there'd be no Skepticon today. He's not a speaker (for the first time ever), but he's there right now and his presence is no longer enough to ensure turnout. His run as atheo-skeptic bigfoot is over. OVER.

[Parody Accountant]

Put Isis heads on pikes

Contract Mexican drug cartels to go after them, scare them out of their bloodlust. Jihadists are clownshoe wusses next to those psychopaths.

Shit, I guess it still didn't really pacify the people

I'm going to do it.

I call for th doxxing of all terrorist

Fuck you, Salon, for blaming free speech for the actions of terrorists. Seriously, fuck you. You support pedophiles, excuse terrorists for their behaviors and have the gall to ask to people to be ashamed for arguing in a way that you don't like.

This kind of articles makes me wish that Donald Trump becomes the next US president, just to see all these brain-dead morally bankrupt holier-than-thou morons flail around helplessly while they try to convince their readers that he's worse than Hitler.

Like everyone else, I'm really sad and pissed about the events in Paris.

I present a solemn palate cleanser. Country and TV star Blake Shelton received a death threat on Twitter. Here was his response:

What no Patreon?

Disgraceful. That would be CYBERVIOLENCE.*

Yeah, exactly. Plethora is always unerringly adept at using FTB's own rope for choking them, and they'll give him pouncetugs for it. Most of the group who thinks (or thought) Plethora a troll have given up the struggle. Plethora can even twit PZ in his own lair when he's throwing out warnings to commentators, and no one seems to notice. He uses a combination of flattering speech and ironic contrast to successfully turn their own positions against them and they're so caught up in their cognitive dissonances to notice.

But if he were a troll... my god, the dedication. What remarkable dedication and focus - all that time spent patiently working, padding out his rippingly subtle zings with credibility-building posts. It's like finding out that Mao was actually born in Brooklyn,and works for the CIA. And his appreciative audience isn't exactly huge; neither is FTB the blogging equivalent of China. Hell, it's not even North Korea these days - probably more like Laos.

Plethora's masterstroke was to introduce himself as someone so totally insane - with all this Sprinkle Dinkle stuff - and to go so completely against the usual conventions about how to get people to take you seriously, that the baboons had to work so hard to pretzel their minds to accept him and to also alter what they consider to be the bounds of sensible discourse.

Now, he seems to have dropped all the insanity, except for calling himself a 'we', and is either just a normal extreme baboon or a poe, but he's bamboozled them to such an extent that they've got no frame of reference with him to process whether they're being taken for fools or not. Parsing plethora is like string theory or quantum mechanics - the human brain isn't capable of it.

The other factor is that if anyone disagrees with Pleth. they are risking him going "Sprinkle Dinkle on their Ass" in other words dragging the conversation into the insane briar patch which is his mind and which no-one except for him can navigate. A truly terrifying prospect.
