I'm just gonna leave here the lyrics to that masterpiece at the top of the page...

Fuck you, you're a fucking wanker
We're gonna punch you right in the balls
Fuck you, with a fucking anchor
You're all cunts so fuck you all

Fuck you, you're a fucking wanker
We're gonna punch you right in the balls
Fuck you, with a fucking anchor
You're all cunts so fuck you all

Go!

For thirty odd years I have lived with this curse
My vocabulary was stunted at birth
By a witch doctor from over the seas
Casting a strange voodoo magic on me
Now when I speak, it's rather absurd
An endless tirade of four letter words
I lash out in anger at all in my way
Shocking, unspeakable things that I say

Fuck you, you're a fucking wanker
We're gonna punch you right in the balls
Fuck you, with a fucking anchor
You're all cunts so fuck you all

Fuck you, you're a fucking wanker
We're gonna punch you right in the balls
Fuck you, with a fucking anchor
You're all cunts so fuck you all

Fuck you!

Long I have waited to have my revenge
To bring that witch doctor to his bitter end
So I have gathered a ship and a crew
We're sailing to find him we know what to do
On a dark moonless night, when he least suspects
We'll creep up behind him, so hard to detect
We'll bring out our anchor by the light of the stars
And shove it inside of his big fucking arse!

Fuck you, you're a fucking wanker
We're gonna punch you right in the balls
Fuck you, with a fucking anchor
You're all cunts so fuck you all

Fuck you, you're a fucking wanker
We're gonna punch you right in the balls
Fuck you, with a fucking anchor
You're all cunts so fuck you all

Fuck you, you're a fucking wanker
We're gonna punch you right in the balls
Fuck you, with a fucking anchor
You're all cunts so fuck you all

Fuck you, you're a fucking wanker
We're gonna punch you right in the balls
Fuck you, with a fucking anchor
You're all cunts so fuck you all

As far as Gender Studies goes he did not want to be on the defensive. There is clearly at the very least a PR problem with the whole field - and more not less critical input is needed if they are going to sort things out.

Za-zen wrote:Would be interesting to know, if you support the use of British violence in any political context. Let's say the latest Afghanistan and/or iraq interventions. How about the first world war, or the falklands perhaps? When in your estimation is violence justifiable?

It's quarter past ten and I've had two bottles of beer.

I'm not going to write a detailed essay on the fact that I recognise, as do all sane and morally grounded people that no wars can ever be 'justified' under any circumstances, in the sense that as you survey a battlefield of maggot-invested eviscerated corpses you can make a judgement that this or that geo-political or economic gain makes it all worth it.

I can't justify the war you left out. The second world war. I can't justify the fact that it stemmed from the Treaty of Versailles which itself stemmed from a war caused in large part by treaties written as part of the colonial "great game" of the late 19th century. I can't justify the disastrous appeasement policy of Chamberlain. Neither can I justify the selling down the river of the country whose invasion triggered Britain's entry into that war, and condemned the first mentioned country to a regime every bit as brutal as the one from whom they were 'saved'.

All the above is true, but to run away with the Black-And-White-Thinking easy emotional answer that all the suffering is down to "British Violence" is wrong. None of the above wars were caused because one person, or one entity who had a simple, clear choice between war and peace. Rather, as anyone who has made even a cursory study of these things knows, some decisions are taken, by some parties or individuals, at some point, which limit the choices made at a later date, by other people.

We know the complex causes and how they can play out. Nobody intelligent is reading this and expects some new insight from me that anybody else has missed. It may be embarrassing to be part of a species which solves its problems in this way, but it is facile in the extreme to just arbitrarily point to someone and say that they are more guilty than we are, just because they live on a neighbouring island.

Example of the first world war. Britain's entry was to defend the neutrality of Belgium. This had been agreed precisely because it was thought it would the keep the peace. With hindsight we can say whether or not it worked. Can we say that it was not 'justifiable' to make such a treaty and seek to enforce it ?

Was Jack Kennedy 'justified' in taking a hard, hawkish line in the Cuban Missile Crisis ? Was Chamberlain justified in 'keeping the peace' by giving old Hitler Czechoslovakia ? With hindsight we know those answers too.

So you'll have to forgive me if I eschew the currently fashionable position of claiming that one's own country (or alternatively one's least favoured country) is the only one with agency and had the power to avert all and every example of suffering because everyone else is a powerless victim.

I'm not claiming, though, that I think Britain has always played its single card very well during some of the recent crises. I am claiming that this doesn't constitute the moral equivalence of the Eric Clantons of the world, with or without Semtex (Though, of course, the consequences are many orders of magnitude more severe)

I will assert one thing, though, which is that I agree with the differentiations made between combatants and non-combatants according to the Geneva conventions. I do believe we can hold everyone to the same standards based on these principles.

So there it is, me old South-Park-Light-Sabre-Death-Cult-Apologist dude. You might think you have won by provoking an essay - which took a third bottle of beer which is all I have in the house - with a cheapo moral equivalence claim.

But Guess What ? This isn't really for you !

Republican lawmaker in Texas tells Democrats he called ICE (immigration authorities) on the protesters outside the gallery. Hilarity ensues.

Notice how the Washington Post is very careful to let us know which is the good side and which is the bad.

Lawmakers scuffled on the floor of the Texas House of Representatives on Monday after a Dallas-area Republican told Democrats that he called Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers on protesters in the House gallery.

“We were just on the floor talking about the SB4 protests, and [state Rep.] Matt Rinaldi came up to us and made it a point to say, ‘I called (ICE) on all of them,’ ” state Rep. Philip Cortez (D) said. “And this is completely unacceptable. We will not be intimidated. We will not be disrespected.”

It is my understanding that the UK Government did not cede sovereignty of its currency to the European Union, therefore it does not need to borrow from anyone to fund expenditure. The Government's capacity to purchase goods and services in the UK economy with UK pounds is technically unlimited (although there are many reasons why it wouldn't and shouldn't do this). It in effect spends money into existence through its purchasing power as sovereign issuer of the currency, and takes money out of the economy through taxation to control inflation and other socio-economic goods (taxation no longer funds expenditure in the modern electronic economy).

That's a nearly universally-believed pile of bullshit.

A small coterie of francophile senior British officers, with Asquith's approval, entered into a secret defensive treaty with France. It was kept secret from the British people and from Parliament. The French & British general staffs drew up plans to violate the neutrality of Belgium in case of war with Germany. As Niall Ferguson points out, you keep offensive alliances secret but you make defensive ones known to deter potential aggressors.

Also little known is that in 1917, Germany offered to the Belgians to vacate Belgium and pay large reparations. The British & French virtually kidnapped Leopold to ensure he would not accept.

That was the author of the paper revealing the hoax. You didn't address my other question, which was why would the someone write a critique of a revealed hoax paper?

Any reviewer with more than a high-school knowledge of chemistry and the ability to understand a basic data plot should have spotted the paper's short-comings immediately. Its experiments are so hopelessly flawed that the results are meaningless.

Contrast with something like the Ern Malley poetry hoax, which is much more akin to the conceptual penis affair than the computer science and lichen paper were. The hoaxers didn't go on to say "anybody with a more than a high school knowledge of modernist verse should have spotted the shortcomings." Their point was that the shortcomings were impossible to spot because the satire was indistinguishable from the real thing. If real works from any endeavor look like bullshit and bullshit looks like real works from the endeavor, is it possible that the endeavor actually is bullshit?[/quote]

They absolutely did not claim that its shortcomings were impossible to spot. They used fake references, claimed it had no discernible meaning and that much of it was word salad. If its shortcomings were impossible to spot then surely they would have been able to get it published in a Gender Studies journal? Or a journal with an impact factor? Or a journal that was not pay-to-publish? You seem to be presuming that a Gender Studies researcher wouldn't have been able to spot the flaws in the paper, which theoretically could be true for all I know, but the fact that it was published and the fact that one wrote a critique of it aren't evidence of that.

“Sgt. Pepper’s,” you see, is the album that marked the shift in rock music away from the grubby fingers of the teenybopper crowd and into the hushed halls of Great Art. It was the transition album that turned rock from a debased music for ponytailed fans twisting the night away to music for grown men whose tastes are far too refined to worry about whether a pop song has a beat you can dance to.

“Sgt. Pepper’s” was the point when rock stopped being the music of girls and started being the music of men.

“‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ was the album that made it possible and intelligible for people to say that a rock ’n’ roll album had changed music,” writes Jack Hamilton for Slate, explaining why this album tends to rate above all others in the annals of pop music.

But during all this celebration, I’d like to take the time to pour one out for teenyboppers, who always get there first and all too rarely get the credit for it. In fact, the fate of the teenybopper is to watch her music get sneered at, right up until it gets taken away and turned into a respectable art form that it’s OK for grown men to like.

The Beatles, of course, are the most iconic example of this trajectory. When the quartet from Liverpool started releasing albums, their fans were mostly teenage girls who were frequently mocked for the hysterical outpouring of enthusiasm that clearly was an uncorking of repressed lust. Girls liked the Beatles because they wanted to fuck the Beatles (or so the theory went), and the whole thing was kind of embarrassing, even for the men at the center of the enterprise who were getting rich and famous off all that female desire.

It’s no surprise, then, that the Beatles’ shift toward a more respectable and artistic branding meant shedding their sex appeal. The “Sgt. Pepper” album cover features the Fab Four dressed in goofy-looking uniforms that couldn’t be better suited to repel the female gaze. Beyond the title track and “Lucy in the Sky with the Diamonds,” there’s very little on the record that makes a lady want to shake her hips on the dance floor.

“Sgt. Pepper” is a good pop record, don’t get me wrong. But it’s a record I resent, because it helped cement this notion that music for girls is silly and music for men is artistically significant. It’s a notion that is doubly appalling because history shows, time and time again, that girl-tastes are the ones that are ahead of the curve.

Feminist researcher invents ‘intersectional quantum physics’ to fight ‘oppression’ of Newton

https://www.thecollegefix.com/post/32830/

Stark identifies Newtonian physics as one of the main culprits behind oppression. “Newtonian physics,” she writes, has “separated beings” based on their “binary and absolute differences.”

“This structural thinking of individualized separatism with binary and absolute differences as the basis for how the universe works is embedded in many structures of classification,” according to Stark.

These structures of classification, such as male/female, or living/non-living, are “hierarchical and exploitative” and are thusly “part of the apparatus that enables oppression.”

It is oppressive to distinguish between the living and non-living. I guess we'll all have to add a spot of necrophilia to our sex lives to fight oppression.

3000 posts up for The Commander.

That's 3000 stakes through the hearts of SJWs, Baboons, and PZ 'Beardchops' Myers. That's 3000 punches landing on SJW targets. That's 3000 kicks to the SJW groins. That's 3000 shouts for freedom.

Fuck off, PZ.
