A commentary in Today's Zaman, while expressing sadness for the woman's death, criticised the supposed obsequiousness of Turkish politicians to "foreigners" in the Bacca case, writing: "Let's face it, if Pippa were a Turk, some people would feel free to say that a hitchhiking woman deserves to be raped." The columnist argued that local problems such as violence against women should be addressed regardless of Turkey's concern for being shamed before foreigners.[10]

Hello Uncle Dave from 1981. I thought you died about 30 years ago from high blood pressure, alcoholism, and pure fury that they were now allowing niggers to have jobs in the car manufacturing industry?

Fuck me, Vick, if you're that desperate for the good old days then resign, go live in a council house, and draw the dole. Have fun sipping a pint of mild over a couple of hours, telling yourself and Johnny, the resident pub bore, about how things were better in the 70s.

This is definitely the beginning of the end. There are going to be more battles to come, but the "high tide of political correctness" has been reached and is going to recede. There are too many who have taken notice of the toxic nature that this system of thought has on an open and free society.

My girlfriends b-day is on 12/20, we and the off-spring went out to dinner where we gave her cards/gifts. I gave her a nice necklace she had her eye on, which caused her to choke up and cry a bit... to which I commented,
" Oh jeez, "If a gift from Tiffany's makes you cry, I'm never shopping there again!"

A sound playful pummeling soon followed.

I'm not so hopeful. Academia (and the media) would need to have a more balanced representation of views first. As it is there is much room for retrenchment on the left. It's simply too soon to say what's going to happen in the medium or long term.

Unfortunately, this Solomon guy is a creationist-level idiot.
2016 represents the final blow to true believers in global warming. Even before the overwhelmingly sceptical Republicans swept to power in the United States last month, Western governments were slashing subsidies for renewable energy, while freeing fracking and other fossil fuel developments. The Republican sweep will speed the demise of global-warming policies by gutting funding for its advocates and deregulating the energy sector, leading to a world awash in cheap energy – to the benefit of consumers and industry alike.

More good news in 2016 came from Brexit, which dispelled any doubt about the return of nationalism, so essential to ensuring the diversity of peoples and their cultures. The European Union — a great homogenizer as well as a bar to free trade with other continents — has now had its fundamental weakness laid bare. The EU hegemon will need to loosen its grip on member states or die. Either option would be a boon to the world.
A climate-change denialist who believes that nationalism is wonderful. It's almost as if the many wars due to nationalism never happened.

There are credible voices when it comes to disparaging Political Correctness. Trump fanboy Lawrence Solomon is not one of them.

So apparently a faithless elector voted for Sanders/Elizabeth Warren in Hawaii, three for Colin Powell and, respectively, Maria Cantwell, Susan Collins and Elizabeth Warren again, and one elector voted for Faith Spotted Eagle and Winona La Duke, all in Washington. Also one elector in Maine and one in Minnesota tried to vote for Bernie Sanders but were replaced, along with one in Colorado whose vote was invalidated.

On the Republican side two faithless electors voted in Texas for John Kasich and Ron Paul respectively. Other five had to be replaced before the vote.

The tally is eight dissatisfied electors or potential electors among the Dems and seven among the Reps. Maybe more expressed their dissatisfaction but didn't act on it. This seems to suggest some dissatisfaction with both candidates among Great Electors.

And he switches servants, in the Nederlands, he's accompanied by the Zvarte Piet (perhaps Black Peter?), properly with blackface, wheras in Germany — of course, it's a dark demonic Anti-Santa of sorts, a hooded, bearded grim man called “Knecht Ruprecht” (in Northern Germany). Further south, Bavaria and Alpine a similar role is filled by the Krampus.

Here he is …

http://www.partymaterial.de/images/4101 ... 2c62b75c7a

A “Knecht” is a medieval servant doing lowly menial work, and Ruprecht is an old fashioned name that rhymes with Knecht and is perhaps akin to “Rupert”, and sounds to Germans adequately gnarly. Anyway, he represents the stick (punishment), also quite literally. Originally, children were threatened that not only would they not get presents if they weren't nice, but Knecht Ruprecht would “give them the twig/switch” (traditionally a bunch of twigs as you see in his right hand) which was originally a reference to caning, but since forever became literally getting a boring old bunch of twigs (this is called “Rute”) instead of nice presents.

By the way, I noticed discussions in the US to tell children that Santa was not real. That's interesting, because such traditions (like other religious traditions) are not treated as reality — or not that I was aware of it. I cannot recall that I ever believed Santa Claus or Knecht Ruprecht existed, and never came across where parents seriously tried to make their kids believe they were real, as all of these traditions come with a strong wink.

True, that was why I used the term "beginning of the end" , perhaps the Chirchhillian "end of the beginning" would have been more apt. There is a long road ahead, but I do believe we can win.

People in general don't like being told what to do by authoritarian ass holes.( one needs charisma to influence large groups for any length of time, they have as much charisma as a dead skunk in the road,re.pz)

But it is the parents job to raise their children, it isn't some jack ass's duty to tell children what is what.

Every year has its story about some ( usually religious but not always) supposed self appointed authority figure announcing " There is no Santa!", how people restrain themselves from knocking the guy on his ass is beyond me.

Does this really happen often? I find it pretty funny that religious people might be so outraged by children believing in Santa Claus. It's like a neckbearded nerd who collects Star Wars "action figures" being outraged by little girls playing with "gendered" dolls.

When I was in Grammar school( K-8) The pastor of the big RC church in town made the "there is no Santa" announcement during services about two weeks before Christmas.( this was this pastors first X-mas in this parish) There was almost armed insurrection.

This year there was a yahoo in Texas preaching in a mall.

Apart from the "roe", Dutch children were threatened with being abducted to Spain, where Sinterklaas is said to reside during the year. After tourism in the south became ubiquitous, that no longer works.

Isn't it weird that i don't post uninteresting and mundane shit on my Facebook but i feel like taking a picture of the final product just for the pit? Let's hope i don't become the pitt version of aunt Betty. If it even happen, ill try to compensate with a couple good old shitpost and a photoshop here and there, i promise.

I'm not sure I'm reading the words of someone I can trust if they think anthropogenic global warming is nonsense and the way ahead is to burn ever more fossil fuels. A shame really, as I would have liked to agree with some of the other stuff.

I'm pretty sure Assad has engaged in war crimes. I'm pretty sure that "everyone supports Assad" is pure propaganda and the "election" of Assad was far from free and democratic.

He's stil the lesser evil when compared to the prospective of a Salafi theocracy in Syria...
Yes, I agree.

That doesn't mean those RT/Kremlin tropes about the White Helmets staging stuff, Russians NOT bombing hospitals and market-places, and every potential war crime being a "false flag" by Al-Nusra/Al-Qaeda/ISIS, etc. The Russians and Assad are up to their necks in blood. Not saying that means anybody should sympathise with the "other side", who are a bunch of, in Putinbot terminology, "headchoppers". But Bartlett comes from the same school of Kremlin disinformation that came out with numerous conspiracy theories when Russian rebels shot down MH17. Crap about radar footage, Ukrainian fighter jets, Spanish air traffic controllers - all bullshit straight from the Kremlin, spread like manure by the like of Bartlett.

I recommend following "Bellingcat" on Twitter. He exposes a lot of Kremlin propaganda, especially in Ukraine and on MH17.

I didn't hear all of that video, but Bartlett said something about those hospitals being bombed by ISIS rather than the Syrian or Russian airforce. Now I'm not aware of ISIS having any airpower, so surely someone should have noticed the bombing didn't come from the air? I mean, journalists can be misinformed, but that misinformed?

I hear he just rolled over and laid down. Hope someone lets him in, it's long way where he's been.

Merry Xmas or whatever you call it to the pit - have a good time if possible although I know the year has not been great to all. Congrats to Phil on getting his death licence and to SD for getting back into what looks like steady work. Srewtape hope you have an especially good time.

It is starting to soak into me that when you all mention "white helmets" you're not talking about squeezing the head of an uncircumcised penis until it is drained of blood.

Responses pretty hostile to he/she/it and SJW in general. The only two providing Wu any top cover are two of Slashdot's most consistent SJW supporters. For fuck's sake, one of them actual praises Revolution 60.

GirlWritesWhat updates on the Calgary Expo thing. They finally have a trial date despite over a year of delays by the defendent.
But they need some help to get witnesses to Canada, so if anyone here can spare even a few bucks (I know the Slymepit is not The Money Pit) it would be appreciated.

They are misinformed enough to show pictures of the wrong hospitals and claim hospitals have been bombed when they haven't, so I would not be surprised that they can't tell the difference between bombs, missiles and shells.... especially when they don't bother to go there.

I just had dinner with the in-laws... all in education and centre-left.

Last time I met up with them when I walked in they were discussing Milo Yiannopoulos. This time it was Jordon Peterson and the demise of the NUS.

I often think that maybe I am in a bubble and what goes on here on the internetz reaches a relatively few people, but apparently a lot of this stuff is discussed in the teacher's lounge.

Lol, if you want conservative governments in the Western World then this is the way you go about it. It comes to something when we don't have to even make conservative party political broadcasts anymore because the Cultural Marxists and their sub sects (SJW and feminists) do it for us. Though I admit it is too late for Sweden and Germany (cucks), they will serve as 'cannery in the coal mine' useful idiots. Some smaller countries may succumb to fascism but as long as the Anglosphere remains free then we can deal with them later.

On that cheerful note, merry Christmas and a happy New Year slymepitters. :D

You've been there? Or you are just believing what Assad and Putin tell you as total truth and reject what western sources say out of hand.
Are you saying MSF and Red Crescent are lying about having a presence in Aleppo and that the MSF doctors were lying when they said the hospitals they were in were bombed by aircraft?
Also, you must really be conflicted right now as Trump is sucking up big time to the Zionists. He said he would drain the swamp. :(
