I've never quite understood the rebuttal to higher proportion of male targeted violence that it's perpetrated by men. "Male on male" crime somehow justifies crime against men? Total non sequitur and goalpost moving.
Don't worry, they also dismiss female on female violence. Man on woman domestic violence? Evidence of widespread Toxic Masculinity ™/ Female on male domestic violence (just as prevalent)? Silence. And female on female domestic violence in Lesbian relationships (Even MORE prevalent)?
Does that cowardly little dweeb Shem the Penman monitor all his comments? He seems to have a hold on mine. Just in case it doesn't make it through, I sent this in a few minutes ago to comment on his theory that gun violence is due to a mix of toxic white masculinity and cowboy movies.

Hold on, this is waiting to be approved by Driven to Abstraction.
Social science needs to study the obvious connection between single mother raised boys and the toxic effects of feminism on vulnerable males. Is it just coincidence that all these school shootings have taken place since the rise of feminism and single mother families.
Elliot Rodger, raised by a single mother. Ted Bundy, abused by his aunt. Look at the rates of violence in the inner cities where the majority of children are raised by single mothers. Nikolas Cruz, raised by a single mother that then abandoned him by dying.
It is about time that we pay attention to the grievous harm that is being done to our male children by toxic femininity.
Segregation was never about “separate but equal.” It was about separating black people from society — not so they would thrive on their own, but so that it would be easier for white America to keep them in a (morally, physically, socially, economically) inferior position.
When we actually DID thrive on our own, riots happened, started by white people. The largest riot in our history was not, by a long shot, Ferguson. It was in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1921, when white people famously burned to the ground a “Black Wall Street” that had the black side of town doing better than the white side of town, leading to a loss of millions of dollars. Shops, lawyers’ offices, movie theatres — the whole bit. Burned to the ground.
I need to ask him some questions about this blacks can't be racist and whites can't not be attitude. I'll see if he answers with my column isnot for the white gaze or whether he answers that he, like all black people are too worn out explaining to honkies how they are all racists and all blacks aren't, so educate yourself you toilet complexioned cavebeast.

Are you recommending a return to segregation? Perhaps all black enclaves with no police so there won't be unjust arrests or shootings by racist cops? Blacks can only work for other blacks so the racist cave beasts can't exploit their labor? Black people only sell or buy from other blacks and only have business transactions with other blacks, so whitey and Asian types can't steal their prosperity. Comrade Gazi Kodzo agrees with you.
There are so many things wrong with this. Not all land was "stolen". Some was not utilised, some was bought and some taken, with compensation, from indigenous types who where turning it into eroded desert. Even if this were not true, the land had to be carefully managed and developed at great expense and effort to be productive. South Africa's farmers have fed the nation and earned export revenue. Their farms are often the result of generations of effort and can be very expensive and require great expertees to run. The government frequently ignores the required criteria for land claims and now land is being given to people with no real claim to the land at all. A lot of it goes to collectives whose only interest is in raiding the government granted operating capital and who are so ignorant that they think they can let labour do the farming for them. The result is more often than not dead fruit trees, weed covered or dusty fields, rusting machinery and empty state of the art processing sheds.The only farming that goes on is with a few subsistence crops and emaciated, worm filled livestock. The once neatly maintained windbreaks of beautiful trees quickly become firewood. Often, the heartbroken white farmers offer to help the new owners rather than see their legacy turn to dust but are told that Africans be doing it for themselves, so fuck off. Obviously the bulk of the workforce is eventually no longer required, so the neighbours now suffer from theft and a farm sized hole in their security.
The effect on food security will probably be enormous, rural poverty will increase and land management and the environment will suffer a lot. The game on these farms won't last long. Game reserves bounded by redistributed land will suffer a big increase in poaching, maybe even stripping of their fences and possible negative effects on their water supply. It really is just a shortsighted land grab. Of course the politicians go on about how they are going to help the new owners succeed and this is no Zimbabwe, but then they always say that and it nearly always plays out the same way.
The burning question I have is. Who finances all the tats?
I see at least three meat eaters in that lot.
I have more questions! If they advertise wear your own skin, why do they all have heavy makeup on? Why do they wear pants? The ones I saw once in LA just wore black paint on the bottom halves as well. (Unfortunately there were men as well). If you look at a close up of tatoo girl, what on earth led her to make those design choices. I looks like a Saturday morning cartoon show on her body.
Just received the announcement that I and my team, and a closely related team has been outsourced. They were nice enough to extend the outsourcing period to be between April or May, so there is plenty of time for people to get their acts together.
Naturally I am now working on our team to get 100% employed. My direct supervisor has taken my approach well. Our less popular manager will still be highly supported by me. I am not sure if the rest of the team will be as equally enthused. But I think they will get sold on the 100% reemployment mantra and will want to help him out in the end too. I am a long term Sys. Admin who has just been broken the news, so no, I have not yet updated my resume.

That sucks. Can you now self-identify as a Filipino or Indian low-wage worker?

Of course Zimbabwe is the perfect model. Look at the increase in agricultural productivity and community prosperity since the colonisers had their bottoms smacked and were sent on their way.
Well shit Delurch :( Still i can't imagine it'll be hard for a good sysadmin to find work!!
Also
Why do none of those PETA ladies wear trousers that actualy fit them???
I am not worried about us two sys admins. Nor the many mainframe operators (none of the college grad are trained so they are in high demand). It is the one Jr Sys Admin & the two "managers" I am most concerned about placing.

That's all well and good. Now how about answering Rayshuls question. :snooty:

Bugger. Is there hope of a quick flip and (hopefully) a generous payout?
Yet another case of 'cultural enrichment' in London last night. Two young lives snuffed out in Camden, one was the 3rd member of the same family murdered in 4 years. That's 13 fatal stabbings in London this year and we're not even out of February, well on course to break last years record of 80.

Oof. That's always such a hassle.
You're smart and resourceful, you could wind up better off. Still though, these kinds of surprises are really annoying.

The prospect that the PETA women don't wear trousers because they can't actually find pants that fit is a concept I had not considered before. Maybe if they ate a little more meat it would have been less of an issue.

Amazon may have something in Ohio, especially if you can get a TS/SCI clearance.

A good pick up line for a PETA activist: "I've stopped eating animals, so can I eat you out now?"
