There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one

[Hunt]

Even Brian Pansy knows RED is a safe word. How many of you guys knew it was a universal safe word?

Traffic light system is quite common. I wouldn't say red was a universal safeword. There are other safewords used.


I tend to use red. That means I can say 20 no's in 5 seconds , confident that it won't stop :-)

I think they told Hitchens to use "red" as the safe word when they waterboarded them. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be BDSM.

Oooh! There's going to be a reading of Powell's most famous an prescient speech on R4 on Saturday: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-43745447

If anyone could record it for me I'd be very grateful...

Watson had nothing bad to say about Dawkins before she felt personally slighted. In fact she previously had some hero worship for him eg using his voice as a ringtone. She is a self-obsessed narcisist and probably the worst advocate for womans rights (or anything else) that has had anything to do with the atheist activist/skeptic/conference scene. Stewing in her own bitterness for over half a decade seems not to have improved her dispositon at all. I can only hope that her influence is in direct proporrtion to her talents.

Luckily for her that Dawkins is not a vindictive individual or he could have really screwed up her career prospects.

When I hear the phrase 'trad-life' (mostly from people that are young, unmarried and conservative) - it seems fairly undefined - and I suspect that that may be by design.

I'm also reminded of the old Woodstock couple photo - because by any definition there were (and probably still are) plenty of liberals living the 'trad-life' (as per the story in the link with the couple still being together after 45 years).

As to other societal changes - abortion, divorce and pre-matrial sex had to be destigmatized at some point - or if not - I don't really have a problem that they were.

There is no comparable official figure for the year 2000, but it must be in the region of five to seven million, approximately one-tenth of the whole population, and approaching that of Greater London. Of course, it will not be evenly distributed from Margate to Aberystwyth and from Penzance to Aberdeen. Whole areas, towns and parts of towns across England will be occupied by sections of the immigrant and immigrant-descended population.

Powell’s speech is basic demographics. And has been born out. His anecdote of urban terraforming and black on white branding of “racialist” is relatively uncontroversial. His concern over silencing laws is almost passe. And all this before the islamification of the UK was even on the radar.

Moggy jnr is no better than the rest of the shower of self serving, self preservation two faced tossers that sit on the benches of parliament from all sides of the house, they are only really interested in their constituents when an election comes round and they're touting for votes. All MP's basically piss in the same party before country pot.
He has said some great things re Brexit, "Hold the PM's feet to the fire" type of stuff but like the rest of his Tory Brexiteer cohorts his idea of holding her feet to the fire is pontificating on various TV & Radio shows. Even with her spineless negotiations with the EU he will still praise Theresa May with the usual "an exceptional Prime Minister who has my full support" standard line. Too many talk the talk but can't walk the walk. It's the same when it comes to debating immigration and especially the 'Muslim' question, they all shy away from honesty because they are shit scared of being labelled a racist and that would never do, they might lose votes. It's how Rotherham, Rochdale & the rest were allowed to fester, still are.

:clap:

I am a YouTube comedian who makes satirical videos on Islam and politics with the aim of furthering free speech and critical thinking. I am from a Muslim background but consider myself agnostic. I believe comedy and satire can go a long way in highlighting important issues in society and Muslims could benefit greatly from adopting this traditi

Why isn't this guy getting all the support of the "atheism/skeptic" movement? This is EXACTLY the job for the "secular community".

The Salafi/Wahhabi movement for the most part has been responsible for the growing trend in literalism and intolerance over the past few decades. They have dominated the tone of the religion and have been very tech savvy in spreading their beliefs. This sect still holds much sway over people across the world as it is funded by Saudi Arabia and they, also by virtue of geography, have a monopoly over the two holiest sites in the Muslim world. I think there is no better time to challenge their hegemony with so many open minded Muslims and ex-Muslims telling their stories and sharing their ideas.

This is the message, folks. These are the cultural flaws that atheists, skeptic, secularists, need to address NOW. Forget about the ethno-state crap. Let's challenge the Salafi dawah and literalist islam in general. Let's focus on debunking the idiocy of islam apologists, from Reza Aslan to CJ Werleman. Let's counter the Muslim Brotherhood narratives. Let's fight the "culture war" to allow more secular, modern muslims and ex muslims to become the dominant forces in their community. Let's smash the cultural dominance of the reactionaries and conservatives within islam.

Nick Cohen is spot on, many on the Left lack the courage and moral fibre to call out bigotry within Muslim community, shielding them from any criticism or ridicule. This is made worse by the fact that they try to label Muslim reformers/liberals and ex-Muslims as sellouts. This stance is not only inconsistent with their own values, but also paternalistic and infantilising to Muslims. Muslims need to be subjected to the same level of criticism and ridicule as any other community in order to develop and clean out their own backyard.

I have seen this painfully play out in the comedy scene (which is largely liberal) as comics are quick to mock Trump and the Right (as they should) but go awfully quiet on Islam and Muslims. There is much to ridicule and criticise Islam and Muslims on, just like everyone else, but their silence is not helping Muslims but holding them back. This is one of the main reasons why I started a comedy channel focusing on Islam and Muslims because there is such a dearth of honest satire on this subject.

And THIS is why the Regressive Left is poison. Islam NEEDS criticism, mockery, satire.

Come on, people, let's find some focus here. Let's focus on taking back the secular communities from the Regressive nutters. THIS is "why we fight". Not Peterson and his reactionary views, not Trump and his moronic ideas, not Southern and her videos on the Scary Black People.

I used to listen to the FFRF podcast on a regular basis - but it became more than a bit repetitive - and seemed strangely out of sync with current issues. (Or maybe I just got tired of constant references to Yip Harlburg).

Annie Laurie Gaylor calls herself a feminist but does not acknowledge (let alone defend) the rise of third wave kind. After listening for a while it became predictable that her solution to just about any problem was to get rid of men and introduce more women. She might even be right in some instances - but I expect the analysis to be little deeper.

Woman is viciously attacked on late night Tube train for speaking Spanish by two fellow passengers who told her she should 'talking English in England'

A woman was assaulted on a London Underground train by two passengers who said she should speak English.

The 24-year-old was attacked after speaking to friends in Spanish on a Central Line train from Liverpool Street to Stratford last week.

Two women heard her talking in Spanish and started shouting at her, saying she should 'speak English in England'.

They then took hold of her by the hair, injuring her scalp and leaving her with cuts to her face, British Transport Police said.

BTP described the incident, at 3.45am on Saturday, April 7, as a 'vicious and racially-motivated assault'.

The alleged attackers were described as black with braided hair, and believed to be in their late 20s.

One was wearing a brown jacket, while the other was wearing a black jacket.

So what this means is that, once again, the American SocJus construct of "POC unity vs. White Supremacy" is just more bullshit which is only made tangentially relevant because of Republican vs. Democratic voting patterns, and not anything useful at all in sociology.

[Kirbmarc]

Every social group can be racist/xenophobic/bigoted towards any other social group. Collective guilt, vigilante punishment, victimhood narratives, overgeneralizations, demonizations, assuming that an individual MUST have some characteristics as a member of group: these are the sources of social problems.

The whole "Whiteness/White Supremacy" model is only a consequence of the specific history of the US (Slavery, Jim Crow, One Drop Rule) and cannot be meaningfully applied to other nations. Also even in the US things are far more complex than the simplistic SocJus schemes.

Bullshit has infested American sociology.

A prominent US lawyer has died after setting himself on fire in a New York park in a protest against climate change.

The remains of David Buckel, 60, were found in Prospect Park in Brooklyn.

In a suicide note found nearby, Mr Buckel wrote that he had immolated himself using fossil fuel to symbolise what he said was the damage human beings were doing to the Earth.

He said most people now breathed bad air and many died prematurely.

Mr Buckel was well known for his legal work on behalf of gay, lesbian and transgender people and later worked with several environmental groups.

"Pollution ravages our planet, oozing inhabitability via air, soil, water and weather," the lawyer said in his suicide note, quoted by the New York Times. The note was also emailed to several news organisations shortly before his body was found, the newspaper said.

"My early death by fossil fuel reflects what we are doing to ourselves," he said.
