Also, when you scroll down the Dalek picture appears to be growing and moving towards you. Exterminate indeed!He said: "One officer described him as angry with veins sticking out of his neck."
They eventually Tazered him with two stuns guns. because they "feared for his welfare," the court heard.

Since Tim Hunt isn't the monster the justice mob wanted him to be, will there be a retraction and apology from Peez's sugar dumpling? She put on her best Angry Spud face:

Un-fucking-real.Tony Parsehole wrote:The latest Guardian Cringefest.
http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/j ... -talk-race
Racists are ignorant morons. In the ideal world nobody would be judged or mocked for the colour of their skin.When you’re black, you experience random acts so extremely ignorant or blatantly racist that you simply have to laugh
for instance, when people assume you ordered chicken, call you the N-word at the supermarket or ask if they can touch your hair. When you’re black in America, such stale and corny interactions are par for the course. Yes, racism is quite predictable.
Wait? What?So when I spoke on a Drunk TED Talk panel about Kanye West in New York I anticipated a less than favourable reaction to my topic, Do White People Deserve Kanye? Indeed, the very question itself was poised in a way to be kinda confrontational – a warning shot. Sure enough, the mostly white crowd quietly vacated the room while I was speaking.
When I was asked to participate, I had never met the event organiser – a white man. When we met, I told him that I might “curse out some white people†and that I was happy to have the opportunity to tell them they didn’t own anything about Kanye.
Poor you. The white man happened to be a SJW and thus welcomed you mocking his skin colour. How traumatic. It's as if the civil rights movement never happened.He said that this was very much what he wanted; he was aware that he was also white and was comfortable with being mocked. I sighed. Many times white people ask you to admonish them in public simply to absolve the guilt they feel for knowing about racism but choosing to enjoy privilege. It’s emotionally exhausting.
Maybe they're all racists? Let's read on and see.The schedule of events saw four white writers each give separate talks (topics ranged from poetry, to a critical theory of Kanye “rants†and even the Gamification of Kanye West) and a panel of four black people. (Are you actually surprised?) While the room was full for the first talk, a drop-off was expected for the second. Meanwhile the panelists and I stood in the back drinking (for four hours!), listening to the presentations and rolling our eyes at their conclusions: either they were truisms, already covered by writers of colour, or simply uncomfortable for us.
Taking the stage, we agreed to keep a good humour but not lie. By the time we were done, half the crowd was gone. I watched them walk out. I saw them gasp for air once they reached the outer courtyard, gesturing to friends to “get the hell out of hereâ€. I was so unsurprised that I had to stop myself from making a joke about it from the stage.
So what did I say to make people leave?
Ah....You, my friend, have just discovered that most audiences don't like being harangued by a pretentious, aggressive drunk for having a certain skin colour. Lesson learned.Just like Kanye, I dared to say too much: about the appropriation of black music, the ownership of black bodies by paying white customers, the truth of classism as silent racism and the systemic racism that does not allow for black people to speak their truth without resistance, or to own the stories that they have written...
LMAO!My every word was spoken with conviction but it didn’t matter – I was speaking without regard for the makeup of the room. I dared to make white people uncomfortable and to strip them of their entitlement to the most polarising figure of our time and I didn’t speak in terms of maybe, I spoke in the definitive.
http://mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/ ... rfalls.gifMeanwhile, the crowd forfeited their $5 to escape the discomfort of my casual yet enraging truth. They were not interested in letting me touch their hair and they let me know by quietly slipping out in protest.
Did no-one at the Guardian actually READ this hateful screed before publishing? Did the features editor simply go "Oh look! An article written by a black person! Hold the front page!"
What the fuck.

Better than SWLBR -istan, I guess.The name Pakistan literally means "Land of the Pure" in Urdu and Persian. It comes from the word pÄk meaning pure in Persian and Pashto while the word istÄn is a Persian word meaning place of; it is a cognate of the Sanskrit word sthÄn
It was coined in 1933 as Pakstan by Choudhry Rahmat Ali, a Pakistan Movement activist, who published it in his pamphlet Now or Never, using it as an acronym ("thirty million Muslim brethren who live in PAKSTAN") referring to the names of the five northern regions of the British Raj: Punjab, Afghania, Kashmir, Sindh, and Baluchistan".The letter i was incorporated to ease pronunciation and form the linguistically correct and meaningful name.

" I think the Patriarchy put him up to it."
Oh, I get it! Because the notion that males, historically and currently, possess disproportionate power and authority in society is just as nutty cuckoo as Alex Jones’s conspiracy theory!
Good one, abear.

Oh no, by no means! As a card carrying Patriarch I just wondered if my brothers were behind the operation. Now excuse me while I go oppress someone.

I've used it. It's good and it's inexpensive. The best water based lube though is JO H2O. Water based but feels like silicone without the messy clean up.comhcinc wrote:

Re: Nerds. Nerds EVERYWHERE...
This all may be correct. However some of the statements by Tim Hunt has made defending those statements shows he has the social awareness and navigation skills of a Nobel Price winning scientist. The initial statements he made that were published in defense, were not to say they were a joke, but to defend those statements straight. Maybe he was quote mined.windy wrote:More here:Kirbmarc wrote:Daily Mail link, since I realized that the Times article is hidden behind a paywall for non-subscribers.
In short, Tim Hunt was actually joking. The Outrage Machine won't acknowledge the truth anyway.

Something about this account seems a bit fishy, though:
As if there isn't embarrassment already?European Commission sources have reportedly confirmed the existence of "internal minutes" from the event but have been asked not to publish or release them.
A Brussels source said: "If the minutes cast doubt on the words used by Sir Tim, that his comments made were clearly a joke, then there could be embarrassment."
I'm not implying it's fake- the context seems plausible and I can believe that "Brussels sources" would make those pretzel logic arguments about not publishing the minutes. But the provenance of the transcript seems a bit uncertain so far.

Re: Nerds. Nerds EVERYWHERE...
I was thinking of a new psy-ops plan. This is probably the wrong place for it, perhaps 8chan?
Everywhere the SJW go, we should 'join' in and immediately start linking SJW causes to our "other causes": chemtrails, anti-vaccine, anti-floridation... let's get some intersectionality with racism and homeopathy. Sexism caused 9/11 (the inside job), etc.
I bet one category of nutter would get along just fine with the others. It would also serve as a warning sign to people new to the arguments.

'They' say that diet sodas are possibly as bad, or maybe even worse, than the real thing. Drink water, or tea.

Take care of yourself, man.
On the other hand, once you get a job, you can complain to HR if the soda machine doesnt keep diet cokes. :D
