There's a memorial to the brave confederate soldiers who fought for the South in the Civil War right on the main drag downtown in beautiful Augusta, Ga. where I live (at the EconoLodge on 15th Street if anyone wants to stop by).katamari Damassi wrote:[H]ow many American cities have American Indian genocide memorials, or slavery memorials?
Every southern town has a Confederate memorial and slavery memorials are not uncommon in the larger southern towns since the Civil Rights Era. Augusta has one, not to mention a memorial to Augusta native James Brown, the Godfather of Soul.

Well by definition if you're an SJW you're an asshole, but there are ways to actually do social justice without that.debaser71 wrote:Someone should write an article about how to be an SJW without being a cunt.
#1. Focus on problems and potential solutions, not identity.
#2. Don't demand that other people live up to standards that you're unwilling to do so yourself or you're unwilling to enforce on your tribe.
#3. Recognize that complete elimination of any given problem is basically impossible...progress is the goal here.
#4. Recognize that for any given problem, you yourself might be part of said problem.
#5. Recognize that power dynamics go in multiple directions, even simultaneously.
#6. Stop the privilege seeking and the focus on the apex.
And yeah. That's what I can think of for now.

hmmm supposedly the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in NYC has whole sections dedicated to various genocides. But the only information I can find on this comes from right wing ranters about how anti-white and anti-christian it is.

Re: Shall Mr Vacula Make a Misstep in the Capital of Eire?
What happened to the American Indians was a tragedy, but you will not find many people beyond the now-discredited Ward Churchill (the idiot who called the victims on september 11th little eichmanns) who would classify the indian depopulation to be genocidal.

Re: Shall Mr Vacula Make a Misstep in the Capital of Eire?
Churchill is not a complete idiot and he got a raw deal from the regents in Colorado (assuming you believe in academic freedom). He has some cogent things to say from a far left perspective. He's made me rethink some of my political views which is more than I can say about some of the more notable reich-wing bloviators.GangstaDan wrote: What happened to the American Indians was a tragedy, but you will not find many people beyond the now-discredited Ward Churchill (the idiot who called the victims on september 11th little eichmanns) who would classify the indian depopulation to be genocidal.

http://ffrf.org/news/news-releases/item ... io-capitol
Is it the First Amendment you find "pretty fucking retarded", the concern over setting a legal precedent allowing the display of religious symbols on state property, or that this annoys those who seek to undermine Separation of Church & State?
Or are you saying it's "pretty fucking retarded" to not believe that the Star of David magically loses all religious connotation when used on a holocaust memorial? Is it retarded to even mention that 5 million non-jews also died?

FTBCon Critical Thinking Panel
The FTBCon's critical thinking panel was very good. Of course, I didn't have any FTBullies in there. If Brayton just applied it to his own site, he would be horrified. At one point, around minute 29, he talks about labelling an opposition in order to dismiss their arguments outright. And tribalism also comes up, too. I don't know if it is some sort of doublethink, or if he's aware of the implications regards the current state of the affairs.Phil_Giordana_FCD wrote:I like Slymepitter.

Contexts aside, it provides a very good overview of the topic.

Burn me too. My SO still likes to watch it, but I stopped after season one or so. I can see that it's obviously very good, but just not my taste. It was a bit too gut wrenching for me. There were also one or two episodes that were just too slow. Plus I found it a tad too bleak, even if it is often used for black humour.sacha wrote:bloody hell, I said I'd try it again, and Dexter as well, cheers Aneris.Tony Parsehole wrote:Burn the heretic!!!!!sacha wrote:

Me too Phil. I have encountered this in real life. I mention MRA and the assumption is anti-feminist. I explain and some do not buy it.Phil_Giordana_FCD wrote:Wait: the rights of men = anti-feminist? I've completely lost the plot.
It is an interesting frame though. Especially if it would be the first time they even heard of Men's Rights before this.DownThunder wrote:Ive been curious about the phrase "anti-feminist" and its first appearances. Perhaps Andrew, who is most likely old, can help out.
Its a very all-or-nothing, us-vs-them idea. At most the posters put up by MRAs are targeting a specific claim that is made by feminists.
At least terms like "anti-vaxxer" makes sense in that vaccinations are a single topic and set of claims, but "anti-feminist" is starting to sound a lot like encouraging yoga classes is "anti-christian"....in short I get the impression that anti-feminists are a concept more likely to be an invention of feminists themselves.
I had a tenured prof from a local university drop over for drinks a couple of weeks ago, that had never heard of Mens Rights before I mentioned the subject.
Mind though he is in a STEM field and knows zip about the Humanities. I was surprised though, because that uni has a good humanities rep, but it turns out he does not pay much if any attention to that lot (including feminists) at all.
Anyway, he had a mutual acquaintance with him who has a MA in Geology, and we spent more time talking about the local ecology, geography, and environment in regards to the mining and lumbering industries than Men's Rights.

Re: Shall Mr Vacula Make a Misstep in the Capital of Eire?
I just did a check to see when the promised second series of The Bridge was due and of course discovered that the inevitable American remake is planned. Why do they keep doing that? Can't anyone over there read subtitles? I suppose I shouldn't get too snotty about it as it seems a joint French/UK version is also on the way. I thought we were a bit more relaxed about foreign drama, the original was already shown here.

If you like comedies you might want to check out Reno 911 and Drawn Together:

Drawn Together

Two of my favourite comedy shows of all time. Drawn Together is just twisted - they take beloved cartoon characters and superheroes and turn them into absolutely despicable beings. The show is also HIGHLY politically incorrect - the SJW's would have a coronary watching it.
Reno 911 pokes fun at cops and rednecks, and is mostly ad-libbed.

Shit I did it again! "a and you can't argue that as a whole; Native americans were targeted for genocide or forced assimilation" is supposed to read: "and you can't argue that as a whole; Native americans weren't targeted for genocide or forced assimilation".Walter Ego wrote:The above mentioned Ward Churchill, whatever his other failings, has made some insightful remarks and comments on the subject of genocide re its definition and how genocide is carried out in the real world. He's made me think seriously about the subject.katamari Damassi wrote: Maybe I'm being a bit loose with my definition of genocide in that many tribes were wiped out by the unintentional transmission of deadly disease, but there were tribes that were actually wiped out, either by disease, war or a combination of the two, and you can't argue that as a whole; Native americans were targeted for genocide or forced assimilation.
Hard to believe that not only is English my first language but that I actually taught it once. In my defense I often find myself posting in a hurry or on my phone.

Re: Shall Mr Vacula Make a Misstep in the Capital of Eire?
Just saw the film Now You See Me. Avoid it unless you enjoy seething for nearly 2 hours. It's about stage magicians heisting banks. I don't know if they consulted any actual magicians for the movie as all the tricks performed are implausible and done with movie effects-obvious CGI and green screen-but they sure as hell didn't consult James Randi. The movie depicts stage hypnotism as magic mind control. The scale of the "illusions" and resources required to pull them off break any suspension of disbelief you were willing to lend to the film. I really dislike movies that depict the FBI as ridiculous keystone cops. The twist to the ending is obvious if you employ the old: "Who is the least likely guy to be in on this?" The only thing that could've potentially saved this movie is if Mark Ruffalo did a nude scene. Sadly he did not, which is unusual for him.

Great choices! I can't believe I forgot about them.another lurker wrote:If you like comedies you might want to check out Reno 911 and Drawn Together:
Reno 911
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0370194/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2
Drawn Together
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386180/?ref_=sr_1
Two of my favourite comedy shows of all time. Drawn Together is just twisted - they take beloved cartoon characters and superheroes and turn them into absolutely despicable beings. The show is also HIGHLY politically incorrect - the SJW's would have a coronary watching it.
Reno 911 pokes fun at cops and rednecks, and is mostly ad-libbed.
