It's a katana. It would only be a samurai sword if he happened to be a samurai.
Oh, please. Mykeru as a samurai? Ronin, I can see, but not samurai.

And while Boris is a buffoon, whats wrong with Nigel Farage? As far as I can tell his problem is the media. I have been told he is a racist bigot by the BBC for the last ten years. I have been told he is a posh, rich stockbroker who is only in it for his own self interest.

But now it matters i have looked into it, only to find he and his party's policies are quite reasonable. His trick is to be brash and rude to Euro politicians, but he actually seems to make less gaffs that the average politicians, none of which seem to be able to win a debate against him. And it's not like he is winning on pure rhetoric, this the man with the facts on his sides.

Sure, his party is pretty conservative and are lukewarm on things like gay marriage, but their argument against it was not on moral grounds but freedom of religion grounds. Their argument against immigration is not against ALL immigration, but against unrestricted unskilled labour. Yet the media insists on painting them as a racist and homophobic bunch of loonies -- and sure, over the years they have attracted one or two who have promptly been thrown out. Despite their problems, looking at policy they seem to best represent classical liberal values of all the parties. Farage really doesn't pull any punches, so when he is talking about the lot of the common man, I find it hard to believe he is not sincere.

3 months ago I thought he was a far right moron because that's how the press painted him, so I am thankful for the referendum for making me look twice. The other revelation was discovering just how hateful, ignorant and obnoxious supporters of Labour are. Many of them admit to having been raised (indoctrinated) into hating anybody on the right. They seem completely incapable of keeping their minds on policy and instead go directly to attacking personality. This has all been an eye opener.
What's wrong with UKIP (Farage is just the jovial-looking front man, after all)? We know what they think about immigration. Let's consider their stance on energy.
We will:

Scrap the 2008 Climate Change Act and the EU’s Large Combustion Plant Directive
Support ‘fracking’ for shale gas
End subsidies for wind turbines and solar photovoltaic arrays
Support renewable energy where it can deliver electricity at competitive prices
Seek to rejuvenate the coal industry
Abolish ‘green levies’ to cut the cost of fuel bills
http://www.ukip.org/ukip_manifesto_summary

Yeah, it is clear why they want to leave the EU. They want to bring back the smog. They must love air pollution. Who cares about clean air, climate change, and renewable energy? Silly foreign notions, all of' them.

Or perhaps UKIP is just a bunch of irresponsible loons. Nah, can't be.

Well, ronin were still of the samurai class, so that would still technically be a samurai sword. But during several eras peasants could carry swords during war, as long as they didn't carry the wakazashi...
Shutting up now.

Listening to the BBC coverage of the violence in France as their reporter totally dismisses the opinions of Geoff Pearson, an expert on football violence who is actually on the scene, because his version of events doesn't match their Eighties narrative that English fans are scum.

I guess they didn't get the memo about those Islamic female tents being a feminist statement of empowerment.
I actually hope SJW womyn-identifying critters start wearing that whole getup. With enough layers, maybe even Muscato could finally pass.

Perhaps they are protesting against the patriarchy, or something. I'm sure there is some SJW excuse. Then again, most of the drunks are white, so perhaps not.

Anyway, have people noticed that another anti-GamerGater known as Matt Hickey has been arrested for trying to rape girls, or something. I've always said that SJWs/FTBullies are riddled with paedophiles, paedophile enablers, and fucking rapists. It is a definite trend and pattern.

Who do we have, now? I've lost track. SJWS/FTBullies who I can recall involved in rape/paedophilia/rape-paedo apolgia include.....

PZ Myers
Lousy Canuck (Jason Thibeault)
Oggvorbis
Sarah Nyburg (srhbutts)
Matt Hickey
HannibalTheVictor13
Todd Nickerson (Salon writer defended paedophilia)

I'm sure there are more.

Well, I'm in Phil territory. After nights in campsites in the vicinity of Blois and Lyon, my brother and I have arrived in Nice in his camper van. It would be big enough for two if we were intimate partners, but as we're not I'm sleeping in very small tent. I'm 46, won't be long before I'm too old for this shit. I may be already.

Phil is at a birthday party out of town, but we're in Nice for a couple of days after the match tomorrow, so we'll meet up at some point.

The last time Norn Iron played Poland, a back pass to Polish keeper Artur Boruc bobbled over his foot and into the net, and the NI fans sang "Artur Boruc, Ulster's number one" at him for the rest of the game. Fingers crossed for something similar.

Liberte, Egalite, Lafferte!

Matt Hickey. Neckbeard. SJW. Typical anti-GamerGate "journalist" for Forbes. Sounds ever so familiar. SJWs/Anti-GGs really do like 'em young.

Yup. Hilarious. However he hasn't been arrested as the police deem that he did nothing illegal. Morally challenged yes, but not illegal as far as the consented sex goes.

The allegations from six women are that he used a female facebook alias to contact them as a porn industry recruiter. She would then tell them that they need to visit the "Photographer" Mike Hikey's apartment to be reviewed.

He would then take naked photos, ply them with booze & then tell them that he needs to have sex with them so that they are sure the women won't flake when it comes time to actually do a shoot.

http://www.thestranger.com/feature/2016 ... e-audition

Now he could be potentially on the hook by falsely advertising (via his female alias) that he was offering essentially interviews for available jobs. But I suspect the police didn't even bother to look at such low hanging fruit when the allegation was rape.

(Fuck, man, I was so looking forward to this for my summer reading.)

http://www.ipgbook.com/a-skeptic-s-guid ... 32&pid=PTS
They do seem to have a front and an imprint (192 pages). So can we assume they do, in fact, have a document that is currently under redaction, or is Heina supposed to fill that many pages before some deadline?
I had an exchange some time ago with her where I pointed out that there are serious racism issues within muslim countries, especially Saudi and Gulf Arab attitudes toward Africans and South Asians. At that time she said she had heard some rumors of that from some Desis (South Asians) but that she had personal experience limited to a narrow group of American muslims and couldn't speak to racism other than she knew that she grew up in a white supremacist society (Southern California).
However, in the intro to her book she writes this:
Taking neither an anti- nor a pro-Islamic perspective, this book honestly addresses common misconceptions and misperceptions those in the West have about Islam and its followers.
In a period of only about 2 years or so she has apparently obtained a broad knowledge of worldwide islam when before she claimed she could only speak to her own experiences in a small, isolated muslim community.
Oh, and she is now capable of being objective about our white supremacist society.

Google isn’t racist – but it is filthy
Ross Clark


Is Google racist? That is the charge made in a short video in which someone types ‘three white teenagers’ and ‘three black teenagers’ into the Google images and finds that while the former brings up images of happy, smiling students, the latter brings up what appear to be police mugshots.

Given that Google searches do to a certain extent reflect a user’s own past search history, I am not entirely sure what the video, which has gone viral, is supposed to prove. When I repeated the experiment it pulled up some mugshots of black teenagers – though no obviously police images – but it also brought up a large number of images of happy, smiling students – Barack Obama’s daughters included.

What was rather more obvious is that there is a very big difference in the online world between the word ‘teenager’ and ‘teen’. Type the former into Google and you get news stories about teenagers – the story accusing Google of being racist included. Type the word ‘teen’, on the other hand, and you get nothing but porn. A search for ‘white teens’ was the most revealing of all. All but one of the first page of searches produced an invitation to view images of ‘white teen, black cock’.

You can’t get much more multi-racial than that. Google isn’t racist – it is a multicultural filth factory.

Technically, if he puts the videos online he hasn't falsely advertised that he can make them a pornstar.

No, the sword is the soul of the samurai, once it leaves his possession, it becomes by definition just a sword. Anyway, the sword on his wall may well be a tachi and not a katana. Can't quite tell.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure nobody has been killing samurai lately. It's very difficult to get the necessary permits.

You want a serrated sword for bread. Like this-

I'm thinking about mirroring a video of someone using a samurai sword to cut off and sew on backwards the ears of someone lured to an apartment to be filmed having sex instead of a writing a book. If only there was a website where I could discuss these issues in an open and honest manner.

Don't use that serrated blade for the ear removal. Also, if you're going to surprise remove the ears, better practice first.

Thank you, Cap'n! It's heartening to have finished a small project for once. It's been a while :dance:

It'd be great if she saw it, but I imagine she's unflappable. She's taken $10K for commitments she has no intent to fulfill, and still condemns others for their moral failings. Heina apparently isn't easily troubled, apart from whatever it is YOU'RE doing.

What's wild is how, if you google "Mykeru" + his real name, you'll find that he's been doxxed many times by a whole bunch of FTB/SJW assholes, going back almost 10 years. I'm not saying that you could find it (easily) using only "Mykeru" (as I'm sure that I've googled the nym and never come across his real name), but it doesn't appear to have been much of a secret.

You're backwards. If the sword is the samurai's soul, killing his body doesn't it stop it being a samurai sword. Destroying the sword stops him being a samurai.

Plus Frank Miller taught us the samurai doesn't have to be killed lately. His soul can reside in the sword a thousand years, like in that one graphic novel.

"My dad voted Labor and so did his dad before him" seems to be a common mindset. A startling number of people vote without actually reading party policy or manifesto and wear their political affiliation as a form of tribal identity badge. There should be a basic written test at polling stations - you want to vote for these cunts? Well, you need to know what you're voting for!

I would also support the implementation of a "correctional beating" for anyone who failed the test.

OK, that last bit was a joke...

No, but I can imagine Stollznow cackling madly (as Baxter cowers in fear) thinking she has Mykeru by the balls now. He ruined her fun, which is a fine thing in my book.

Though I'm kind of disappointed that "my" go-to-gal in the Iranian atheist movement is kind of soft on the Saudis:
It's because she's an Iranian atheist and sees the Saudis are enemies of her enemies (the theocratic establishment which has enslaved her country).

The problem is that the enemy of your enemy isn't always your friend. Sometimes the enemy of your enemy is yet another enemy.

There's a war going on in the entire North-Africa/Middle East/Central Asia, from Lybia to Pakistan. The objective of this war is to decide who is going to control the vast majority of the oil/natural gas business in the world (quite a big prize).

On one side you have the Saudis and the Gulf petro-states (Kuwait, Bahrein, Qatar, Oman, UAE). Their political establishments have controlled the OPEC and the oil business for decades, and they know that the moment they no longer do their regimes will quickly collapse.

On the other side you have Iran and its allies, which are trying to break the Saudi/Gulf states hold over the OPEC and the oil market in general.

The Saudi/Gulf States been historical allies of the US and the UK, and they've more or less been treated like valuable assets by most of the West. However in the last few years they've seen some cracks in the alliance. The US have been pushing for alternative sources of energy to Middle East oil, from shale gas to fracking. Some Western countries, like Germany or France (or even Italy!) have flirted with the idea of buying Iranian oil instead.

The Saudis saw this coming and financed Salafi and Wahabi imams all over the West to subvert all Muslim communities to Wahabism/Salafi beliefs, and control them to have another tool to blackmail the West (terrorism and communities governed by Sharia law).

The US are still allied with the Saudis and their petro-state buddies, but Obama has relaxed Bush' aggressive position against Iran. And Shia pro-Iranian militias have taken control of many Iraqi oil fields. Iran has also been in talk with Assad.

The Saudi/Gulf States have gained two new allies in Pakistan and Turkey, two countries which are turning closer and closer to two Sunni Muslim theocracies (easy to influence through Salafi imams). However they're worried by the increasing influence of Iran over countries like Lebanon (Hezbollah), Syria, Yemen (support to Shia militias) and by the alliance between Iran and Russia and the consequences of this alliance in Afganistan and Central Asian ex-soviet republics.

So the Saudi/Gulf States have attacked the Shia minorities (perceived as Iranian fifth columns) everywhere: Yemen, Saudi Arabia itself, Iraq, etc. They've also supported the anti-Assad militias, because Assad was seen as a precious ally for Iran.

The Saudis also contributed to the birth of ISIS. Now ISIS is out of control, but it's still useful as a tool against Assad and all non-Sunnis in Syria. Notice how Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States have carefully avoided letting any refugee in their countries, except for a few token "personal guests". It's far better for them to turn the Syrian refugees to the West and influence them with their Salafi imams to create trouble in Europe then to allow them to wreck havoc in their own countries.

Turkey is also in the midst, and they're getting increasingly pissed at the Western support and sympathy for the Kurds. Turkey, on the other hand, is fine with ISIS as long as they kill Kurds. The greatest fear of the Erdogan regime is a Kurdish state in Syria and Iraq, which might push the Kurds in Turkey to successfully secede.

Israel isn't unhappy with a collapse of the Assad regime, and they're positively happy at the idea that Hezbollah is going to be bogged down in Syria. Therefore they have a shaky alliance with the Saudis and Turkey.

The biggest issue for Iranian atheists is their own theocratic regime. They see any loss of the theocratic regime as a win, and since the Saudis would be glad to see the Iranian regime go they might be softer on them.

But in reality there are no honest actors in the whole conflict, with the possible exception of the Kurds.

Some universities are getting wise. They just saved their university and all of their jobs.

Western Illinois University trustees on Friday voted to eliminate African-American studies, women's studies and two other degree programs due to poor enrollment and low graduation rates.

You just (indirectly and, probably, unintentionally) suggested how we can close the rift: in best Michael Nugent summit style, we ask Mykeru and Aron Ra come together and publicly exchange conditioning tips.

Phil is at a birthday party out of town, but we're in Nice for a couple of days after the match tomorrow, so we'll meet up at some point.

The last time Norn Iron played Poland, a back pass to Polish keeper Artur Boruc bobbled over his foot and into the net, and the NI fans sang "Artur Boruc, Ulster's number one" at him for the rest of the game. Fingers crossed for something similar.

Not all of these are equals, though.

Myers and Canuck have simply written that someone accused them of rape. They're hypocritically arguing for double standards between their accusations and the accusations towards others, but there's no evidence that they're "rapists".

Ogvorbis might be sincere or a troll. What's disgusting, regardless of the truth of his statement, is that the Horde showers him with love and excuse him from any responsbility while they attack Josh Duggar for what he did.

Sarah "Butts" Nyberg might be an edgelord. Or maybe a paedophilia apologist. Who knows. Anyway what's awful regardless of the truth is that she's been excused as "just joking" while others are crucified in the media for making far clearer and less controversial jokes.

Hannibal was convicted of a sex crime. He's the only one we can safely say is a certified sex criminal.

Nickerson and Rapp are bonafide paedophilia apologists.

@AndrewV69...

Not long ago you posted the Kwaja Mere Kwaja YT vid, and in your post you mentioned a genre associated with it, but didn't actually give the name of the genre it belonged to. What should I be looking for to hear more of that style aside from the artist himself?

Cheers.

One of our resident musicians is from France.

While most of us are from the US.

In the US, a "boy named Sue" is the apex of music.

But the French aren't into that sort of thing, so it would be a girl named Sue, instead.

The French also, of all things, speech French.

In French, a girl is a "fille."

Even if "fille" looks like it might be pronounced "fill" or "filly," it's actually just "fee."

So, when we get back to our French girl named Sue, it would be a fille named Sue.

Sue is a fille.

Sue fille.

Sue fee.

Sufi.

Deductive logic, bitches.

tl/dr; you want to look for more music in the Sufi genre, blitzem

So, it appears that The Guardian is approaching peak... err... Guardian. From the following article:

How did bathrooms get to be separated by gender in the first place?

...we encounter this paragraph:
Nonetheless, American culture didn’t abandon the separate spheres ideology, and most moves by women outside the domestic sphere were viewed with suspicion and concern. By the middle of the century, scientists set their sights on reaffirming the ideology by undertaking research to prove that the female body was inherently weaker than the male body.
I've copied through and bolded the link from the original. If you click on it, you'll notice that the 'evidence' cited hails from... The Institute for Creation Research.

Yeah, it is clear why they want to leave the EU. They want to bring back the smog. They must love air pollution. Who cares about clean air, climate change, and renewable energy? Silly foreign notions, all of' them.

Or perhaps UKIP is just a bunch of irresponsible loons. Nah, can't be.
I do not have any problems with any of these policies. I will pick one at random.... Subsidies for wind Turbines.

I really don't know we should be subsidising forms of renewable which are probably never going to get more efficient than they currently are, especially if the Dutch are subsidizing the industry more than us and so can undercut the British manufacturers of wind turbines.
Since the beginning I have wondered why we are building these eye-sores when we could be developing wave power and tidal power which could actually be hidden, which could be combined with preventing coastal erosion. (I know some people who are passionate about the environment, who are developing biomass pellets, whatever that is. Frankly my eyes glaze over).

I think we sometimes jumped a bit too quickly into decisions about the environment because politicians were under pressure to do something. I have no problem with tearing it all up and starting again. But the environment is not one of my hot button issues, and there has never been a party yet where i have agreed with 100% of their policies.
