Brownian, you have to stop blaming your father for being an asshole, it clearly is a dominant genetic trait in your family, like you, he had no choice.

For some reason I remember the day I called in sick because I was not, but wife and kids were.
I had spent the whole night cleaning up wife and kids from the effects of some sort of 24 hour bug. It was like a daisy chain reaction, every 30 minutes or so they took turns to spew from one end or the other.
PS: Happy Birthday
There was not a single clean sheet in the house except for the ones on the beds, the damp ones in the drier, with the rest sitting in a pile in the laundry room or being washed in the washing machine.
The sort of thing I can look back at and chuckle now, but it was not funny in the least back then.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Well, of course they don't get that I'm "MRA" only to the extent that I'm a skeptic. If some truly bullshit claim came out of some MRA source, I would criticize that too. Everything is contingent on being a skeptic. I don't quite get the atheist [slash] skeptic distinction either. I figure if you are doing skepticism right, then you are an atheist as well. I know atheism is mere lack of belief, but what's the point of being anything but a Critical Atheist? Then you fall under their form of atheism, which, as GirlWritesWhat said, is mostly because belief in god is cramping their style.ReneeHendricks wrote:Hell, I'm actually quite surprised when I get mentioned in passing - you know, when they start talking about MRA lovers and chill girls :D I think one person even said that I'm "despicable" (https://twitter.com/aratina/status/259360017893953536 only found out due to Ophie being "confused" about a video I did not make).Mykeru wrote: Well, maybe now they will start giving me some love.

I'm not distancing myself from the "MRA" label, just the presumption that they have that the opposition must be the ideological mirror image of them, knee-jerk group-think and all.
Well, also, I joked that being a feminist would interfere with my being a humanist and egalitarian, and that would go the same for broad uncritical acceptance of "Men's Rights". But my experience so far with MRAs is that they would be far more receptive to criticism than these clowns because the MRM is essentially a skeptical reaction to a pernicious form of woo.
Mostly though, right now, I hate those fuckers for calling themselves skeptics and then accepting claims without evidence, or with piss-poor evidence and actually subverting skepticism by deploying labels like "hyper-skepticism" when ordinary skepticism is applied to their pet horseshit.
Not to mention they are ugly as shit. I took a gnarled crap this morning that would be more likely to be hit on than The Beaver.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Similar to atheists who are atheists for the wrong reasons, or lack of reasons, this rift has revealed the skeptics who are skeptics not because they apply method impartially, but because they began with the bias of "oh, i don't like that" and then sought ad hoc reasons to support that bias. P.Z is not so much an atheist as an anti-theist. He just really is pissed off at religion. then there's the Dillahunty effect of being able to parrot rebuttals to theism without understanding general principles, or simply choosing to give things he likes a pass.ReneeHendricks wrote:This...right there.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Saw the start of this thread in the "Introduce yourself" forum at Atheism+ last night; it has progressed and apparently - hold onto your hats, this is shocking, I know - resulted in the quick ban of the skeptic gentleman who started it: http://atheismplus.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2331
I will someday learn how to do screen shots. Since that day has not arrived yet, here's my knockoff A+ scribe version of it (without links & Cipher's gifs).
tysixtus starts off introducing himself:
Near bottom of page 1, tysixtus says (in a longer post quoting Cipher's comments):
Cipher adds, "helpfully":

tysixtus starts off introducing himself:
You can imagine this goes over well. Cipher says English uses "they" as a gender-neutral pronoun. tyxistus points out that that won't be let through in publications e.g. journal articles. Cipher doesn't take this well and is (shocking, I now) kinda rude.Before we get to know each other I should probably list my privileges.
White male hetero slightly wealth-enabled slightly education-enabled atheist. I don't know how to use gender neutral pronouns, since we don't have any in the English language and I think all of the made up ones sound dumb.
Anyways, hello everyone. Some of you may know me from IIDB back in the day, and I currently visit TR as the best, most sensitive poster there. I have never raped anyone, and I have no intentions of doing so.
Near bottom of page 1, tysixtus says (in a longer post quoting Cipher's comments):
Cipher replies:I have to say, your mission statement and this attitude are really not compatible. Does a man have to prove to you that he is worth listening to? Is that how freethought operates? This isn't rhetorical, I'm genuinely curious. I want to know how you can hold these two contradictory positions at the same time.
At any rate, if I am in the position of having to explain why I should be allowed to post, nothing I can say will matter anyways.
tysixtus replies:I'd ask for a primer on understanding sarcasm, but it looks like you're in need of one yourself.If you want to, sure. What else do you need help with?
Welcome to skepticism! Looks like you've lost your way - "spouting whatever inane drivel comes to mind with no accountability" is that way. Have a nice day!Does a man have to prove to you that he is worth listening to? Is that how freethought operates?
Cipher quotes all of the above and adds:Yes, I suppose I am.Cipher wrote:
I'd ask for a primer on understanding sarcasm, but it looks like you're in need of one yourself.If you want to, sure. What else do you need help with?
That is not skepticism. In fact, it sounds a lot like the speech restrictions laid down by organized religion. You should just be honest with yourself, you don't want discussion. You want fascism.Welcome to skepticism! Looks like you've lost your way - "spouting whatever inane drivel comes to mind with no accountability" is that way. Have a nice day!Does a man have to prove to you that he is worth listening to? Is that how freethought operates?
tysixtus replies:animated gif of Bellatrix laughing [ Show ]animated gif of Sherlock closing the door in Anderson's face, with the text "Yes, thank you for your input." [ Show ]
Onamission5 weighs in:A stunning riposte, sir. I am undone.
Suncountess adds some drivel about dogwhistle (their new favorite term, apparently) & shit, then Cipher qutoes tyxistus's "stunning riposte" with a gif that suggests Cipher missed the point, then tyxistus posts his last hurrah:Got that, everyone? FASCISM.
Mod Hat: I see that you have chosen door number two. Please move quickly and collect your belongings, it closes soon.
Then some throw-away posts about fascism by Flewellyn & Grimalkin, then this from Flewellyn:Yes, it is on Wikipedia. Look it up. Wikipedia is pretty handy for things like this.Onamission5 wrote:

I understand. I said something that hurt your feelings, and now I have to go. Enjoy your bubble, I hope it lasts a long time. You guys seem to need it.Mod Hat: I see that you have chosen door number two. Please move quickly and collect your belongings, it closes soon.
Onamission5 confirms that the deed has been done (tyxistus has been banned? But it doesn't say "banned" under his name in his posts).And nothing of value was lost.
Cipher adds, "helpfully":
Nobody gives a shit about yet another whingeing douchefuck who can't tell the difference between not being allowed to post on a forum and being brutally oppressed through violence. You're not important enough to hurt anyone's feelings - you're just another trolling, ignorant fuck, indistinguishable from the last, providing a bit of entertainment before your inevitable... how to put this delicately... departure from our space.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
A Biology professor walks into a bar...
http://i.imgur.com/dUzdR.jpg
It was an irony bar.
In reality the joke has a one word punchline: oolon
Is PZ really so dismissive of the intellect of his readers that he assumes they all have the attention span of a goldfish?
Come to think of it, and having read many of the responses on that and other FTB threads, he might have a point.
Why waste time building a real argument when you can type out any old crap - even stuff that directly contradicts what you have just said and done - and the plebs still rally behind you, burning torches and pitchforks in hand.
What is he saying here: that noelplumb99 should come onto the slymepit and argue against the unethical stuff (according to Peezus) that goes on here.
And if he does that? What exactly will happen?
Lets think of two possible scenarios.
1. noelplumb99 gets immediately labeled a disgusting slymer and banned from the FC5 blogs. All his previous arguments are deemed trolling and anyone who agrees with one of these points is tarred and feathered.
3. Rainbow coloured ponies that smell like chocolate fly out of my butt to the strains of Beethovens "Ode To Joy", while a secret portal opens up leading to the dressing room of actress Ornella Muti in 1980. She is wearing her Princess Aura costume from 'Flash Gordon', and looks pleased to see me. "Dick", she exclaims excitedly, "I've been waiting".
3. Peezus and O congratulate noelplumb99 for his even handed approach, saying that he's proven that he is a neutral party only interested in the arguments and not in personal attacks.
OK, OK, I needed three scenarios to get to the probabilities correct.

1. noelplumb99 gets immediately labeled a disgusting slymer and banned from the FC5 blogs. All his previous arguments are deemed trolling and anyone who agrees with one of these points is tarred and feathered.
3. Rainbow coloured ponies that smell like chocolate fly out of my butt to the strains of Beethovens "Ode To Joy", while a secret portal opens up leading to the dressing room of actress Ornella Muti in 1980. She is wearing her Princess Aura costume from 'Flash Gordon', and looks pleased to see me. "Dick", she exclaims excitedly, "I've been waiting".
3. Peezus and O congratulate noelplumb99 for his even handed approach, saying that he's proven that he is a neutral party only interested in the arguments and not in personal attacks.
OK, OK, I needed three scenarios to get to the probabilities correct.
Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
You might check out the debate with Paul Elam – of A Voice for Men – where he argues or strongly suggests, I think, that some jurists should vote for acquital in rape cases regardless of the evidence – jury nullification. That looks a little off the wall to me – and to a number of others here.Mykeru wrote:Well, of course they don't get that I'm "MRA" only to the extent that I'm a skeptic. If some truly bullshit claim came out of some MRA source, I would criticize that too.ReneeHendricks wrote:Hell, I'm actually quite surprised when I get mentioned in passing - you know, when they start talking about MRA lovers and chill girls :D I think one person even said that I'm "despicable" (https://twitter.com/aratina/status/259360017893953536 only found out due to Ophie being "confused" about a video I did not make).Mykeru wrote: Well, maybe now they will start giving me some love. I know I am hindered by my refusal to engage them on their own turf, but Jesus Fucking Christ, I felt like they were ignoring me.
I actually thrive on turning their kind of humorless, mean-spirited horseshit into life-affirming Lulz.
C'mon baboolies, think of the lulz. And the baby otters.
Groups of all kinds – from the McCarthyists to the Stalinists; from the Elks to the Boy Scouts – are prone to that. I don’t think it takes much effort to find evidence of that on either side of just about any line creating two subgroups out of one.I'm not distancing myself from the "MRA" label, just the presumption that they have that the opposition must be the ideological mirror image of them, knee-jerk group-think and all.
While you didn’t actually argue that all MRAs are like the ones you’ve seen so far, my experience is that there seems to be a not insignificant percentage of those who self-identify as MRAs who are just as off the wall and into woo just as deep as the most radical radfem. Woo – as evidenced by all of the different religions, secular and otherwise – seems to come in a great many varieties.But my experience so far with MRAs is that they would be far more receptive to criticism than these clowns because the MRM is essentially a skeptical reaction to a pernicious form of woo.
Apart from the questions of whether that is true and whether you’re any better in that department, I wonder what either has to do with the credibility of all of their arguments, whether they hold any water or not.Not to mention they are ugly as shit. I took a gnarled crap this morning that would be more likely to be hit on than The Beaver.

My respect for GL just rose about 2 microns....But some of the people living in what Americans see as trashed out mud huts in the stinking rotting jungle are actually several hundred percent happier than anyone reading this blog will ever be because things are pretty good. ...
I’m telling you this here because I made promises to some of the people in the mud huts to not facilitate the “first world†misunderstanding of everything beyond their noses.

From the Slate article:

btw, did Watson ever apologize to Stef McGraw for equating her simple point of disagreement with anonymous rape threats? Just asking for the benefit of any lurkers who might barely be catching up with all this shit due to the slate article.

It's time dilation, folks.
As she becomes a bigger and bigger star, her gravity increases, which, as we all know, has an effect on the apparent speed of light and thus time.
Just a year ago it was 10 hours (she gives that figure in the althouse bloggingheads interview)
http://althouse.blogspot.com/2011/07/re ... -time.html
Now it's 12.
If her internet fame goes on increasing at at the current exponential rate I calculate that this time next year the story will be that on that day people listened to her talk for 48 hours non-stop about how she hates being sexualized by guys making a pass at her.
As for her actually saying this at the Dublin conference, there is no record.
It wasn't during her actual talk (Aaron Ra has the talk on his youtube channel).
It could only have been during her bar session (10 hours, 12 hours - who the hell can remember details after that length of time drinking in a Dublin bar!)
I have only seen one person admit to being there at the time - that looney PZ sycophant, Rorscharch - and even he says he went to bed early and didn't see Rebecca leave. I havent seen anyone who thought they knew who Elevatorguy really was.

I say British because I get the feeling that a lot of this 'privilege', SJW, etc. stuff comes from other continents. I've literally never come across it in real life over here.

Latest trend in pets - a baby echidna - from Taronga Zoo in Sydney.
Apparently these are called puggles, and I was just chatting to a colleague of mine who owns a puggle (pug/beagle cross dog)...
for fuck's sake. I've worked with dogs for over 15 years, and have volunteered for homeless, neglected, and abused dogs for even longer. "Designer Dogs" are for those that think having a mutt is below them. I refuse to acknowledge their "designer status". They are another commodity for unethical breeders (99.9% are unethical), catering to people who think that the more they spend on a dog, the more status they have in their fucked community of peers. They need to take all of the bloody ridiculous designer clothes they buy to dress up their "designer dogs" and carry around a fucking doll instead.
Where is my army of vultures??!!
Dogs (and other animals) are not status symbols.
by the way, KiwiInOz's little, fluffy, purebred, piss take was funny and spot on.
and Kiwi, I could have quite a collection of balls from all the neutered dogs...
