Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
You can probably answer that question as well as I can, but AFAIK -- liberal arts colleges are mostly run on their endowments and tuition (but also usually benefit in various ways from government grants and government subsidies of tuition/loans for their students -- not too mention significant tax advantages as non-profit institutions). So even "private" institutions in the US are partially "public" -- private research universities even moreso.welch wrote:Are they privately funded?Apples wrote:Just out of curiosity, do you think it should be legal for there to be women's colleges like Smith/Wellesley/Mt.

Have a read through the various personality types, the similarities with certain people are striking.
Couple this concept with francs favourite slave morality literature.
Couple this concept with francs favourite slave morality literature.
The "game" position of Rescuer is distinct from that of a genuine rescuer in an emergency, such as a firefighter who saves a victim from a burning building or a lifeguard who saves a victim from drowning. As a drama role, there is something dishonest or unspoken about the Rescuer's attempts, or at best, a mixed motive or need to be a rescuer or have a victim to help. In fact, 'The Karpman Triangle game inhibits real problem-solving...creates confusion and distress, not solutions'.[10] A drama triangle "Rescuer" plays the role more because they are driven to be a rescuer as a way of avoiding looking at their own anxiety, underlying feelings than because the victim needs their involvement, as in the case of a fireman/rescuer.

Re: stop confusing me with the facts
The article I read said she was arrested in front of a school in the municipality, it didn't say if that was the one the kid was to have gone to.Pitchguest wrote:Oh. In the article, it said she sold the drugs in front of her home. That explains it then. Adding to the irony, if her mother didn't want her son to enroll in the school because she sold drugs outside of it, now he's going to have it even worse. Ah, self-fulfilling prophecy.JAB wrote:She was charged because she lived in one municipality and enrolled the kid in another using someone else's address. Education is controlled and paid for etc at the municipal level. Following links in the news site it appears the kid is now living with the grandparent now and attending school in the district he/she should have all along. Ironically enough the mother was arrested for selling crack in front of a school in that district, so I wonder if that didn't sway the mother's opinion as to where she wanted her kid to go to school.Pitchguest wrote: I don't get it. Nowhere in the article does it say the woman was homeless- is Dover Street a trailer park? A homeless shelter?
While it's disgraceful that she was charged 5 years for the enrollment as well (especially in a country like the US, where education is sorely needed), it does seem the case was about the drugs she sold to an undercover police - twice. It's therefore very dishonest to paint the case in just the terms Kassiane did, that she was sentenced to jail *just* for the enrollment (which, again, is pretty fucked up). However that is unfortunately the kind of thing we've come to expect from Atheism Plus. Some "third wave of atheism" that turned out to be.

Re: stop confusing me with the facts
The thing about people like this (i.e. Kassisne et al) is they don't really believe their own rhetoric. It's a sick fantasy of sorts. This wasn't an honest mistake by Kassiane; she knew the charge of various and sundry isms at work here was dubious at best. She doesn't care. The me-so-oppressed identity politics thing is like a perverse role playing game. They know damn well the US and other Western democracies aren't oppressive places dominated by racists, but get off on pretending it's so, and that they are on the receiving end of the oppression. A+ isn't so much a 'safe space' for 'the marginalized' as it is a club where people with oppression fantasies can play "let's pretend we're like blacks in the Jim Crow south!" together. To be blunt, they're sick fucks.Apples wrote:Kassiane posts a thread called "Stealing an education?:Wow. That's pretty shocking - 5 years?Kassiane wrote:So what I've got on this is a feministing article & a now closed petition.

Norwalk, CT charged a homeless woman who enrolled her 5 year old son in school using the babysitter's address with stealing an education & sentenced her to 5 years in prison.
...for utilizing our public education system. You know, that one that says every child is guaranteed a free education and in fact is required to be there from ages 6 to 16 unless the parents make homeschooling arrangements. Racism is a factor, in addition to classism. THey don't want THOSE kids in their kindergarten class. Assholes. I dont even see what they're trying to fucking accomplish here.

As to WHY they get off on this, I can only speculate. It's clear they imagine being part of an 'oppressed' group makes one in some sense 'special'. Clearly there is some sort of fetishisation of ethnicity and oppression at play here, and a perverse fascination with being in some way or other disadvantaged. But I think it's telling that so many of them are white and/or have paper thin claims to 'marginalized' status.

While it's not wrong to want to share something relevant you wrote yourself, instead of repeatedly plastering it the comment section, the polite, and sane thing to do is to mail the author or site owner and ask them if they want to link to you. That way, it's their choice if they want to promote your or not, and you don't come off as a self-promoting asshole who's just trying to get traffic.
Of course, if you're only copy-pasting other people's work and not adding anything but a content-lacking sentence or two, chances are high that no one will agree to link to you and instead go directly to the one youstole from your material from quoted ...

She was talking about crazy religious people but she could have very well been describing FTB/A+..."If someone has an opinion you don't like, there is nothing compelling you to give a shit."
"It's about the idea of you not respecting what I believe. The outrage comes from a feeling of entitlement. That I am entitled to having my beliefs respected and I don't need to really offer any reason other than I respect my beliefs."
"There is no opinion that anyone else is going to hold as universally respectable."
"The idea that you're going to sort of bully people into respecting what you believe is completely wrong."
"Hate me as much as you want, tell me you hate me as much as you want - I only care when you start trying to put restrictions on me."
"You don't get to decide what I believe. You don't get to share in my opinions and I don't have to check with you to make sure that my opinions are valid through your eyes."

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
Astrokid is one of the AVFM contingent. I think he was the one that wrote that stupid article over there after the Indian gang rape and murder case, saying that the big problem there was sexism against men!Gumby wrote:Yeah, from where I'm sitting too. I barely go on Twitter anymore and didn't know about it until I read your post. Astrokid has apparently decided to become a douche.Pitchguest wrote:http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/ ... omens-day/
PZ has a blog post up, still thinking the Slymepit is a collective. Honestly, though, I don't really "get" the tweet at all. Actually it's pretty bad from where I'm sitting.
:confusion-shrug:
He seems to barely conceal a hate for women - which is probably the reason he rarely posts here.
Desperate measures by Peezus if he's forced to trawl through AVFM writers and try to paint them as representitive of the Slymepit.
What next? Johntheother? Paul Elam?

Hmm. Some DVDs might make a nice gift for my colleagues in Beijing. They said they like Scotch.Gefan wrote:I recently introduced a Taiwanese friend to Rab.
