Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
Apparently the commies don't like SJW's either.
"One of the most recent variants of identity politics to sweep the radical petty bourgeoisie is the concept of intersectionality. This is not just a minor deviation or confusion by well-meaning young people, but an entirely retrograde, reactionary and counter-revolutionary ideology that we must combat with every means at our disposal."
I was discussing the Facebook ban on far right groups and searched for commie groups on Facebook and found this one, then I found this article on Identity politics.

Good videos. Reminds me of the articles I read in the Economist when things like cap & trade was first floated. So, the Australia implementation was not a scam is what the video seems to say.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
Back in '93, when my sister was 8 and we flew out of Australia for the first time, the first thing she asked upon arriving at Sydney Airport from Canberra was "do people in Sydney speak English?" (Everyone in the airport we encountered was speaking something other than English, so it wasn't an unreasonable question.) It was a long time family joke, although not so funny anymore.

This is a PeeZuss moment. No?This was her professor’s reply:
“Australia is a continent; it is not a country. That error made it impossible for you to accurately complete your week 2 research outline correctly,” she replied.
“I want you to understand any error in a project can invalidate the entire research project … Research is like dominoes, if you accidentally knock over one piece, the entire set will also fall.”
Arnold then responded with a link to the Australian Government’s “About Australia” page:
“Australia is both a country and a continent. It’s the only country that is both. I provided a resource in the first email that clarifies that for you. If you need further clarification google or the SNHU Shapiro Library has that information you … Again I mean no disrespect but my grade is affected by your assumption that Australia is not a country when it in fact is,” Arnold wrote.
At long last, her professor replied: “After I do some independent research on the continent/country issue, I will review your paper.”
Arnolds’ paper was finally regraded at B+ and came with this warning from her professor:
“Please make sure the date, the facts, and the information you provide in your report is about Australia the country and not Australia the continent.”

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
View some of Jay Leno's youtube videos on the (atrocious) level of American geographical knowledge. Some of us barely know that Mexico is to our south and Canada to our north. I just checked the numbers, and Americans travel a lot -- intranationally. Relatively few travel internationally, and only half have passports. I doubt the cause is xenophobia (with the exception of Latin America). The US is huge, varied, and I think most Americans think their vacation needs can be met w/o leaving the country. It's also hard, and expensive to go anywhere (except Canada). The distances are daunting. It's not like in Europe where you can hop, skip and jump, and baboom, you're in another country.shoutinghorse wrote: ↑ I'm always amazed at just how little Americans know about the rest of the world.
Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
Especially in the good ol’ days it was the distance and expense that made OS travel a rite of passage, esp for Australian youth. It was also a sign of relative sophistication to have hot out of town so to speak. These days there really isn’t any excuse for not seeing the world. And from the crowds in Europe, the world would seem to agree.Hunt wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 1:06 amView some of Jay Leno's youtube videos on the (atrocious) level of American geographical knowledge.

I’d concur though that America is a universe unto itself. Both culturally and physically. You could spend your life exploring its exotica.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
A tricky question indeed - Ian Gillan vs. David Coverdale (and Roger Glover vs. Glenn Hughes)... Burn is the only Purple albumn I have a physical copy of, and I saw Whitesnake a couple of times before they went all AOR and enormous hair. 'Mistreated' vs. 'Smoke on the Water'. But 'Highway Star' and 'Space Truckin''...screwtape wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 4:21 amBut was Burn better than Machine Head? Heretic that I am, I prefer 'Mistreated' to 'Smoke on the Water', but then again, I even kinda like their 1969 Concerto for Group and Orchestra.Pseudomonas wrote: ↑Not something I've had a problem with: I'm in the midst of a massive Deep Purple (c. 1974) binge. I think what happened for me, was that I got out of the habit of listening to all my old faves, and moved on (oddly, to classical, and then to early music). Now, being on a bit of a revisit, all the old stuff is both really fresh, and at the same time a familiar comfort. And I don't really find much comes over as 'childish, stick-it-to-the-man, bullshit' or similar.
Pseudomonas
I think I'll go with Machine Head & Ian Gillan/Roger Glover. 'Smoke on the Water' is overrated, but is still a pretty good track.
Never listened to the Concerto, but as it happens, I have a download of it somewhere, so I should dig it out and scare the children.
And I thnk I prefer the version of 'Mistreated with Ronnie James Dio singing, on Rainbow On Stage :evil:

"Africa isn't a country, it's a continent" is an SJW mantra. Sure, it's true... but it's truth reduced to a sing-song bumper-sticker slogan.
Animal Farm Sheep organize their worldview/ testing-for-truth --using faulty criteria:
Does it rhyme? Does it contain alliteration? Maybe iambic pentameter? Does it follow the form of a simple equation? Does it fit on a bumper-sticker?
Do I get a smug feeling of dominating someone, when I deliver the snappy one-liner?
then Racism Equals Power Plus Privilege. fact! Believe All Women. fact! Continents Which Begin With An 'A' Aren't Countries. e.g. Africa, Asia, Antarctica... fact!
I heard a podcast, a couple years ago, about how grammatically-correct statements pass a 'true/false' test in our brains, leading people to impose tortured interpretations on nonsense/ in-order to Make It mean something... An example from a psych test was: 'Rocks Are Some Of The Oldest Living Creatures On Earth. T/F?'
My buddy Fang got that one wrong-- and when I asked him about it-- he said that he did realize that Rocks aren't Creatures... but he assumed the experts who made the test knew that-- so they Must Have Meant to include inanimate-things, when they said Creatures.

I first ran across him in the early 80s, I think. There was a one-man-show actor, Kerry someone or other, who I saw doing something in Notting Hill, and he also did something from the Lost Continent. I got the book on cassette from my local library, and have been an avid Bryson fan ever since. I particularly loved his Yank-based view of the UK, and his Brit-based view of the US. As a transplant septic myself I can really appreciate both sides...
