HAHAHAHAHAH! The Biting Beaver article is amazing!

Love this bit:

I know, that as soon as my child leaves my home and moves into his own place that he will be looking at porn immediately. I know that I am raising a problem for women. I know that this child will one day grow and will fully absorb the messages that porn sends to men. I know that my child masturbates to degradation of my people (when I use that phrase I mean (womyn) and that with every orgasm he will further solidify his own hatred of and superiority over, women.

THE DEGREDATION OF MY PEOPLE!!!!!!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

Dear god woman don't you know that teenage lads enjoy having a private wank? I found a page from a porno mag on a railway track when I was about 12 and using that one page I turned my bedroom into a wanking-oven for about 6 months. I *almost* feel sorry for teenage boys nowadays. Having such a cornucopia of masturbation material at the click of a button means they must have no social lives whatsoever.

Who's on the third base?

Why did Zidane headbutt an Italian? Because if he didn't, he'd be a Zidnorwegian.

Why did the chicken cross the road? Because fuck you, that's why.

And other assorted sports/poultry jokes.

Cos women NEVER masturbate.

Not EVER!

[sacha]

While I have read very little of him, I am certainly willing to concede that he seems also to have had a sensible perspective on and insight into quite a number of topics. And I’ve got “Hitch 22” on my to-read list.

Hitch22 should be one of the last books of his you read. It's a personal story. Once you are familiar with his perspective on the subjects that he was passionate enough to write about (both definitions of passionate), including his many articles for Vanity Fair, Slate, and other publications, you may be interested to find out how he came to be who he was, that is when you read Hitch22.

I know that Google searches are Kryptonite to you, so here is some help:

http://www.slate.com/authors.christopher_hitchens.html

http://www.vanityfair.com/search?page=1 ... r+Hitchens

Don't begin with the recent articles about his experience with cancer, start at least a few years back.

or at the very least, if you simply cannot be bothered to read a good sampling of his articles, then read Arguably:


and for fuck's sake purchase it through the Slime Pit Amazon button.

Slime Pit Amazon! hahaha!

[sacha]

Hitch's imperfections made me love him even more, although Phil and I have very different perceptions of what his imperfections were.

You don't even know that, you imperfect you!

I was going by this:

Hitch was a whiney cunt in more than one ways. Some of his "revolutionary" positions I could never live with. I don't give a fuck if you insult him. Show me where I ever expressed sensitivity when it comes to insulting Hitchens. He was a drunk, a fatty, a smoker, a Brit, a Leftist...

[Steersman]

But bad karma I think to put anybody on too high a pedestal that we lose sight of their humanity and their clay feet.

You know that game called Don't Give Away Your Power? I complemented welch for being a master player.

Never heard of it. But I’ve found the best way to develop a skill, to increase one’s power and technique – chess playing, for example – is to practice it, to play it with others. There are many different techniques and gambits in every game – not every one is guaranteed to be a winner in every circumstance.

Hitch was ruler of the universe...

That’s either hyperbole or “an irrational response” ….

But more specifically on the question of sensitivity and genuflecting:

Anyway...Slate? They'll publish anyone's rubbish. I've seen articles by PZ Myers in their a couple of times.

Hitch used to write for Slate!

Looks a little sensitive to me, a little bit "aggrieved" at the suggestion that Hitch might have written rubbish.

I don't believe in Karma.

And people used to believe that the world was flat and at the center of the universe too. Which, of course, did not change matters much. Likewise with karma – I sort of expect it is a variation on one of Newton’s laws – every action has an equal and opposite reaction; considering that it works so well in cosmology it would seem to be somewhat of a stretch to think that something along that line wouldn't have some relevance to interpersonal relations: actions have consequeces, not all of which can be foreseen.

[sacha]

Attack =/= insult. And I'm the fucking English-as-a-second-fucking-language guy here.

Also, Franc is Franc, Sacha is Sacha, and I'm me. Don't play the FTB game of guilt by association.

We are both franc's socks, and you know it.

if you're desperate for a win, ask me about American Football, Baseball, Basketball or Ice Hockey. That's a 99.9% win for you.

You may win even more than 99.9% of the time if you ask me about those subjects, but the challenge would be to get me to give a fuck about my lack of knowledge in those sporting events.

[Tony Parsehole]

Ok, Ok. Last bit of Biting Beaver lulz (thank you so much for the heads-up Phil). The context is Biting Beaver is alone in the woods at night, surrounded by wild coyotes when she suddenly realised some men might come to the woods and get her:

The coyotes closing in around me brought smiles to my lips and a sense of wonder and childlike safety and good humor.

Yeah, a pack of wild, hungry, coyotes surrounding me in the dark woods would make me feel totally safe too.

The thought of a group of young men sneaking into the park after hours to drink a stolen or illegally bought 6 pack of beer was bone chilling.

I suppose if the imaginary men had legally obtained their imaginary beer then the situation would be less "bone chilling"?

It occured to me then that there is no animal on this proud planet that is more dangerous to a lone woman than a man.

Polar bear.

Chalk up yet another win for the terrorism of man.

There were no men, terrorist or otherwise, in the woods with her. She just imagined what might happen if some happened to show up. Chalk up another win for paranoia, misandry and feminist neurosis.

You’re being obtuse Phil. I’m not saying that I didn’t Google Montoya nor look at the Wikipedia article - I did. I’m saying, for the second time, that none of those links led directly to the specific movie and character and phrase and internet meme. If there are a couple of million different possibilities I'm not going to waste my time tracking any of them down except maybe a few at the top of the lists - which didn't get me any closer to the goal line.

How the hell would you know that? I should send you the links and searches I’ve done and exported to a file. I don’t know how many links there are, but there’s some 200 pages of them, although I’m not sure why I bother – “sipping at the firehose”, indeed. And those are only the links I’ve thought worth keeping.

But thanks for the links and suggestions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_Sexual_Horror
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insex

Insex has a fascinating history (the guy that started it was a former professor at Carnegie Mellon) and this flick goes a long way to filling in the blanks. Not a whole lot of stuff to confirm any baboon biases. First bad news is the doco writer/director/producer credits. Gender traitors of the highest order. For all of the babbling out of skepchick/FTB/A+ about "diversity" and "inclusivity", I somehow don't think they have any safe space for genuine transgressives.

If I can't identify a quote or reference in the context of most internet discussions, I usually assume it's from Princess Bride. Ghostbusters is a prime suspect if the discussions are between scientists, but then I'll almost always recognize the quote. In discussions amongst my old grad school housemates, quotes from Star Trek predominate.

Any misguided or sniffy morally superior criticisms I might have had about Hitch went right out the window after reading his Vanity Fair piece on [urlhttp://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/20 ... hens200808]waterboarding[/url]. Anyone who is willing to submit to torture in order to a) make an extremely important ethical and political point, which all Merkins should have permastapled into their hippocampi, and b) convince themselves of something in a demanding, evidence-based manner, has my eternal respect for their intellectual and physical courage.

The other thing about Hitch was that he had a sense of humor - so fucking rare in the A/S community these days.

I don't believe in Karma.

Karma is defined as a result from a reaction, that's it. Karma is not punishment or retribution but simply an extended expression or consequence of natural acts. There is no such thing as good/bad karma because there is no such thing as good/bad as far as the universe is concerned. People involved in the paranormal used to drive me crazy with the "karma comes back to you tenfold".... bullshit.

Ah fuckin hell, that Biting Beaver is a piece of work :lol: Brandon, if you're watching, try getting into the habit of cracking a couple off to pictures of womyn in dungarees. I'm sure mom would approve then.

BTW - what was it about railways tracks that always attracted the free-range grot? I grew up near some abandoned lines, and they were always replete with wild porn. I figured it always congregated there owing to the camouflage it offered, owing to the amount of unkempt thickets about (this was the 1970s, when women in porn largely went au naturel...)

[Tony Parsehole]

@Tigzy. I have no idea why railway tracks were replete with discarded porn but they were and I'm thankful for that.
How many times did you see a porn-mirage? Where you thought from a distance it looked like a nice bit of naked lady magazine but after a closer inspection turned out to be a page from a Freeman's catalogue?

[Dick Strawkins]

[Tigzy]

@Parsehole

Nope, never encountered a porn mirage - in all honesty, the women's underwear section of a Freeman's would have still counted, in my book. At that age, it didn't need much to bring on the urge to spank one out. I distinctly recall even getting a boner over Emily Bishop from Coronation Street at one time.

Speaking of unkempt railway sidings, overgrown bits of waste ground etc. - ever encounter the strange phenomenon of the Abandonded Adidas? You know, the lone trainer you'd always find in those places. Funny how there was always one, never a pair - even though it was not unusual to find a discarded sweater or jumper nearby.

@Parsehole

I have to wonder if you can still find the Abandoned Adidases in waste grounds today; perhaps, for some reason, modern times have ensured that they are extinct. Not that I'm tempted to go and find out, lest I get mistaken for a Wasteground Catweazle.

For the uninitiated - or at least those whose childhood didn't at least contain a modicum of adventure: a Wasteground Catweazle was a creepy, possibly disturbed - possibly even noncey - older guy who'd always sort of hang around with your gang. If you've seen the film A Room For Romeo Brass, you'll know what I'm going on about as regards the character Morell. Fuckin weird, though when you're a kid you think they're pretty cool, as they always seemed to know a lot about army life and karate. Two Catweazles I remember - one bloke who dressed in combat fatigues, who had a ginger handlebar moustache and a big-ass Rambo knife which he was always showing off to us; and a thin bloke with a beard, who'd go around on a bike and had shitloads of stories concerning really gory stuff he'd either seen or heard of from his mate, who apparently worked in the emergency services. I never forgot the story he told us about the RTA his pal had seen, and how the story ended:

'They opened the car door, and his brain fell out!'

I was fuckin years getting over that. :lol:

[Scented Nectar]

Men rarely admit it, much less report it.

and women are able to rape men easier than you think. If the man fights back, she calls the police, and he is taken away (mandatory in the US if it is a domestic violence dispute).

or, they can just threaten to scream "rape".

I've heard of women threatening to tell everyone the man is impotent if he does not have sex with them, or that he's a paedophile...

women don't need physical strength, they have blackmail.

they also have roofies

A couple years ago, on YouTube, a woman who back then was known as BooBoo, got mad at a male friend for commenting on a video by someone she didn't like. She threatened to dick-drop some naked pics she had of him if he didn't start behaving in ways she approved of. She also threatened to make an Encyclopedia Dramatica page on him including the pics. I made this vid about it:

[youtube]ESmeZNwh_5Q[/youtube]

She ended up sharing the pics with others, and one friend of hers showed them to 17 people on his blogtv. She also made the ED page on him with one of the pictures, and got into an editing war with someone who was trying to protect her victim by removing them. She has her own ED page too, although many pictures were not transfered over to the .se domain, and also many of the videos on the page don't work due to channels being closed and vids taken down.

I think sexual blackmail, in its many forms, is more of a gal thing.

How is Cricket a mystery?

Defending team bowls at attacking team in sets of 6 Balls called overs.
Attacking team attempts to score runs (points) by;
hitting the ball away and then running lengths of the crease (batting strip)
hitting the ball out of the ground 4 points if it touches the ground, 6 if it doesn't.
You are out if you hit it and get caught, if the bowler hits the wicket (enough to knock the bails off the top) or if the bails are knocked off the top while you're running.
You can have 11 batsmen (two on the pitch at a time) and so the team is out when all 10 are out.

Now, if you'd said it was Boring, Dull, arid, bromidic, characterless, cloying, drab, drudging, flat, ho hum, humdrum, insipid, interminable, irksome, lifeless, monotonous, moth-eaten, mundane, platitudinous, plebeian, prosaic, repetitious, routine, spiritless, stale, stodgy, stuffy, stupid, tame, tedious, threadbare, tiresome, tiring, trite, unexciting, uninteresting, unvaried, vapid, wearisome or well-worn, I'd have been on board.

@SPACKlick

Thanks for the explanation of Cricket. I've noticed that it's actually a huge sport around the world. A few years ago, while in the middle east, I was in my hotel on a Saturday and thought I would turn on the TV and try to watch some soccer(yeah, I know it's football, but in America...). So, I start looking for sports channels thinking I might find BPL, Serie A or Bundesliga. Nope. All the channels I could find were showing Cricket matches. One, I believe was showing a Rugby match.

I agree that Arguably is probably the best place to start. It's a tome, but well worth it. This is how I broke into Gore Vidal's work, as well. I read The United States (his tome of essays) before I dived into his novels.

But, regarding Hitchens, his books on Mother Theresa, Bill Clinton (No one Left to Lie to), and Henry Kissinger are good places to start as well.

I like a good international test though.
Five days of pedestrian battle that often ends up as a draw, even when one team is hammering the other.
Hoping for rain on the final day is very common for the losing team.
The spectators don't get to hear the best parts though. The 'sledging.' The tactical delivery of personal insults directed towards the batsman by the bowler and/or wicketkeeper.

1. Rod Marsh (Aus) and Ian Botham(Eng)

One of the most famous sledging incidents is by far one of the best.

Rod Marsh : “So how’s your wife & my kids?”

Ian Botham : “The wife is fine but the kids are retarded”

One of the all time great bowlers, Glen McGrath was getting frustrated at being unable to dismiss little known Zimbabwean cricketer Eddo Brandes.

McGrath: “Why are you so fat?”

Brandes “Because every time I fuck your wife, she gives me a biscuit.”

Dennis Lilllee (Australia) sledging the world

Dennis Lillee had a sledge that he employed against many batsmen during his long cricket career.

“I can see why you are batting so badly, you’ve got some shit on the end of your bat”

At this point the batsman would usually flip his bat over and examine the end, to which Lillee would respond

“Wrong end mate”

Fucking hell, Morell.....That film was so scary because most people can relate to it. Morell was a spot-on character. A loser-psycho who hangs around with the chavs in the park even though he's in his 20's and everybody else is still in school.
We used to know a bloke in his late 20's who would hang around with our chavvy gang, buying us booze and tabs and getting off with a different school girl every week. At the time everybody thought he was cool as fuck! Looking back he was just a sad old perv like Morell.

I was recently amused by an ad on Pharyngula selling cupcake baking kits.

Regarding the question of what level of drunkenness means you cannot consent, I think the following clip from The Big Bang Theory is the one which sparked the current Rebbecapocalypse.

I would like other opinions here but to me the woman in this video is not "blotto".
She is drunk, yes, but at the milder end of drunkenness rather than being unable to think properly.

I like the baby stealing terrorist with the fake beard in this ad on Pharyngula.

here, a longer version of what I'm on about: http://dissentionisnothate.wordpress.co ... ca-watson/

I REALLY like this article. Well done, John!

[Skep tickle]

But John, I'm not arguing against them as such. I'm using it as a catalyst for a post for its own sake. I don't expect them to engage me at all, and if they do it'll be some kind of ad hominem, as we all know. It's really just to talk about the issue of intoxication and consent in a rational way. So far the only comment thread on this is on Skepchick, and we know how tolerant they are of objections to their view. I wanted to provide a comment thread where people can state and defend their own views without getting deleted.

Then yank the links and references. It's a good piece without them. But as long as you even seem to make it about them, they will make damned sure it IS about them. Have a good debate about consent. Just don't let them be the subject.

If one uses RW's drunk-rape-consent tweets as the springboard for an attempt at discussion (taking welch's cautions about trying to do that but going with it for a moment anyway), then IMO it's not only fair but important to go back to the tweet that started it - the one commenting on Penny & Leonard in Big Bang. Obviously, it's a sitcom. But it's what set RW off on her broad comments on sex, alcohol, & consent so warrants review.

Here's a transcript. Sorry for the length. Maybe someone could find a video clip; I didn't look, but I've seen the episode multiple times (we're BBT fans). Bolding and parenthetical comments are my additions:

http://bigbangtrans.wordpress.com/serie ... xcitation/

Scene: The apartment. It is night and the lights are off. Knocking.

Leonard: Coming!

Penny (with slurred speech throughout this scene): Damn you, you rat bastard.

Leonard: Are you drunk?

Penny: Zack was a perfectly nice guy, and then you ruined him!

Leonard: How did I ruin him?

Penny: ‘Cause in the olden days, I never would’ve known he was so stupid.

Leonard: Come on, he wasn’t that stupid.

Penny: Yes, he was! He thought you were gonna blow up the moon!

Leonard: Okay, yeah, he’s stupid.

Penny: He spent the entire night bragging about how he invented the word appe-teasers.

Leonard: How is that my fault?

Penny: You have destroyed my ability to tolerate idiots. Now, come with me.
(takes Leonard's hand and starts walking vigorously toward the bedrooms)

Leonard: Where are we going?

Penny: We’re gonna have sex.

Leonard: Why? I mean, okay.

Sheldon: What’s going on?

Penny: Put on your noise-cancelling headphones, ’cause it’s gonna get loud.

Sheldon: Oh! Not this again.

Scene: The next morning. ...

heldon: FYI, my noise-cancelling headphones proved ineffective last night.

Penny (chagrined): Yeah, sorry about that.

Sheldon: As a native Texan, I must say I’ve never heard the phrase yee-haw used in quite that context.

Penny: Oh, God.

Sheldon: Oh, God. That I’ve heard on multiple occasions. ... Good morning, Leonard. ...

Leonard: Where’s Penny?

Sheldon: She returned to her apartment. I presume to shower and vomit. Not necessarily in that order.

Leonard: I wonder why she didn’t say good-bye.

Sheldon: Are you expecting me to offer an explanation of human behavior?

Leonard: I know. I just thought as an outsider, you might be able to provide a fresh perspective. ...

Scene: Outside Penny’s door.

Leonard: Oh, hey.

Penny: Oh, hi. Um, I gotta run. Early shift.

Leonard: Okay, I’ll walk down with you. So, last night was fun, huh?

Penny: Yeah, it must have been. I just threw up in my closet.

Leonard: Bummer. Anyway, I was thinking tonight maybe we could catch a movie.

Penny: Oh, yeah, tonight’s not great for me.

Leonard: Doesn’t have to be tonight. I’m free pretty much always.

Penny: Leonard, last night was a mistake.

Leonard: When you say mistake, do you mean a fortunate mistake, like the discovery of penicillin?

Penny: Look, I’m sorry. I was drunk, I was lonely, I hated Zack. Can we just forget it ever happened?

Leonard: No, it’s pretty well imprinted on my brain. Especially the whole rodeo thing.

Penny: Oh, God!

Leonard: So, that’s it? Wham, bam, thank you, Leonard?

Penny: Look, I said I’m sorry. Can’t you please let it go?

Leonard: How am I supposed to let it go? You used me for sex! ...

So - Penny's drunk, but she's the one who initiates sex, grabbing Leonard's arm and hauling him toward his bedroom without asking for consent. Leonard's roommate and downstairs neighbor (that part clipped from the quote above) both interpreted what they heard through the night to mean that Penny and/or both Penny and Leonard were enthusiastically engaging in sex. The next morning Penny is chagrined, maybe can't remember the night, calls it a mistake and would like to move on, apologizes to Leonard, but in no way that we're privvy to see (in these sitcom scenes) is it suggested that she feels she was taken advantage of.

Isn't it obvious in these scenes that if anyone was taken advantage of, it was Leonard? (The one who wasn't drunk.) Now, he did give consent ("Okay" said brightly, with a surprised overtone) but he apparently expected it to be a resumption of their relationship, and was disappointed that it wasn't.

Just wanted to say, I just registered for the Slymepit today.

I've been reading all(or most of) the popular atheist/skeptic blogs for years now, but I only comment on a few....and the last two years have been a special kind of annoying hell. I don't take it personally, it doesn't really affect my daily life at all, but it has often been painful watching some great liberal/atheist blogs and bloggers slide down the road to professional victim insanity. I used to love pharyngula, even the most insane femi-socialists could put up a good argument when they wanted to. Adam Lee used to not be such a smug and patronizing twit. The commenters at Friendly Atheist were once mostly sane, and I think Hemant has done a good job of not letting things get too out of hand.

It seems to me that the amount of in-group tribalism, echo-chamber perceptions of reality, and hostility to all people who don't tow the far-left SJW lines has really exploded. I haven't seen teen-age drama bullshit like this since grade school....fuck that, grade school was nothing near so bad. I never really commented at ERV, but I lurked a goodly bit. I've seen all the demonizing the FTB crowd does relating to the Slymepit, but you all seem like relatively sane, intellectually honest folks.

I hope nobody minds another newbie who has hit the bottom of the burn-out barrel with all the Oppression Olympics bullshit in the atheist/skeptical blogosphere these days. Some of those people are just plain old fucking nuts.

I noticed that the Slymepit seems to be getting new people registering every day....I'll take that as a sign of sanity, I need all the hope I can get.

Welcome! I'm new here as well. This place seems to be an inevitable response to the double+ evil we've been seeing elsewhere. There's something almost Newtonian about the migration of actual skeptics in reaction to dogma and tribalism portraying itself as skepticism. We need to keep hammering these people until they cringe every time they think about spreading their ideological bullshit in the name of atheism.

Isn't it obvious in these scenes that if anyone was taken advantage of, it was Leonard?

Seem pretty clear to me.
She orchestrated the night of sex.
She dictated how he should feel about it afterwards (guilty)

All he got was some new material for the wank bank. :(

So, it seems, by Watson's standards, we've all been rapists/rape victims at some time or other.

Thanks, I feel better about being raped now.

Cunt!

Indeed, and ironically, Rebecca Watson is more rapey than most!

:lol:

After reading Notung's blog post and subsequent comments, then unwisely following a link, I came upon this ED marvel:

https://encyclopediadramatica.se/BitingBeaver

I know ED is usualy prone to exagerations (understatement of the century), but, Sounds a bit too familiar to me...

That particular ED article was a lot funnier prior to another deeply repressed momma's boy shooting up a grade school.

The Baboons have always had a strange problem with adverts on their shit sites. They used to suffer regulary feature adverts for "Date Christian Girls". Presumably no alcohol would be involved, as that would be RAPE.
