So, whenever two people date or even marry, one of them, the more powerful can never get "enthusiastic consent" and hence must be a rapist. Hence, every one of us is either a rapist or being raped. Here are three scenarios, all based on real life examples, that highlight the logical end-product of such thinking
...
Meanwhile, in the real world we have real cases of assault and rape: for example, just this week, in India, a female journalist was brutally gang raped in front of her male friend. And, in other cases, women were forced into unhappy marriages, girls have had FGM performed on them and some mullah or bishop somewhere, in a sermon, has said that a woman's place is in the corner of the house.
Or getting killed for being the wrong religion:
"Are you Sunni?" "How many rakats is that and salah (in Isha)" Skip to 6:15 oh ... not for the squeamish if you are stop watching by 7:55

What we see here is not a schism, but the start of a new religion, one based on strange notions of social constructivism and radical liberalism gone wild. Michel Foucault and other constipated faux-philosophers like Jacques Derrida are the new prophets. PZ, Christina, Watson et. al. are the screeching monkeys who have whole-heartedly accepted the New Message, and are on the war-path to convert all of us to this world-view. God help us.

I can't answer specifically for UMM, but there is no real standard definition of University. Typically it's a school with two or more colleges, a college being a school of higher education.

http://studyusa.com/en/a/107/what-is-th ... in-the-usa says part of the difference is that a U offers graduate degrees, but I don't think that's a law, perhaps more of a guideline.

UMM might be a University merely because of how it is attached in the larger University of Minnesota, just as all of the world's best universities, that is UCB, UCLA, UCSB, UCSD are part of the UC System. (Go Bears!)

I've googled several times to find out where the student newspaper at UMM is.

Near as I can tell UMM doesn't have a student newspaper.

In my mind, this eliminates UMM as a University, and as a college, and even as a community college. I don't know what the fuck UMM is. Until they get a student newspaper they ain't shit.

Hazard a (fairly educated) guess that what's now called University of Minnesota-Morris was once its own little self sufficient college, or even trade school (a 2 year school, offering associate degrees), and was incorporated into the University system at some point.
Big fish in a small pond doesn't even begin to cover it, he really truly isn't very much more than a glorified biology teacher?
Another guess is that no, he's probably not a glorified biology teacher, and that his classes would transfer into any larger University system, anywhere, as part of acceptable curriculum.
I mean, nothing wrong with being a teacher in a small town, that's how my mom makes a living... but still, how much of a scientist worshiping thing do you gotta have going before you go make PZ into one of your heroes? Propping him up besides Dawkins... no wonder he got such a inferiority complex going on.
To all that ^, oh hells yes :D

Yeah, I learned a 'University' has two divisions -- an undergraduate division offering associate and bachelor's degrees and a graduate division offering masters and/or doctorates (or equivalent). So I was stunned to find out it was less than half the size of my old, rural community college in CA.

But University isn't a protected term, so UMM pretends to something it's not in the common acceptance of what a 'University' is...

Nah. Didn't rape any cows; left that to our vets. Cow-rapers extraordinaire, they were.

I did, however, feed hamburger and ground chicken, mixed with grain and chocolate, to both some cows and some chickens to prove to a head-in-the-clouds woomeister friend who insisted that farm animnals, well, all "vegetarian" animals actually, can tell people who eat meat apart from people who don't eat meat, and will run away from meat-eaters and shun them, and, of course, will also run away from meat and never ever under any circumstances eat from a meat-tainted trough, let alone eat meat itself.

Like many woomesiters, he had no idea what to say, and basically just kind of pretended it hadn't happened.
I would have thought it was common knowledge that the whole mad cow thing in Europe was the result of feeding ground up animal carcasses to cows. You'd think such a friend to the animals would know that.

If you take it to it's logical conclusion, simply *not breeding* enough children is also preventing future Einsteins from being born. This is a a popular natalist argument - and predictably - it is quite clearly the Duggars and others like them who are going to save the world!

Also, I have spent some time reading various anti-natalist blogs, and no, they are not all misanthropes. One forum that I have perused is in fact filled with posts about how important it is to actually help the poor and ameliorate suffering. I know, so misanthropic!

It's all a bit vague ... My High School in the UK had more students than UMM does ...

But Trinity College Cambridge (one of the absolute best in the world) has only 1000 students ... So - who knows - numbers are misleading

What matters for universities is : the papers published in association with them, the research they do, the people they turn out

Back in 2007, I was leaving a fetichist party at around 5am in the Les Halles neighborhood of Paris, a place not recommended in early morning. Walking on a boulevard, I spotted a very pretty lady in sexy dressings sitting on the curb on the other side of the road, with a bunch of chavs approaching from maybe 100 meters away. I crossed the street, sat next to her and told her she should move on before she gets into trouble. She was crying and seems at a loss, so I asked her if she wanted me to escort her to the closest metro station. She accepted and we left in a hurry. We taled while walking and she explained she had just had a horrible night and lost her wallet. We stopped in a caffee and I offered her a couple black coffees to try and wake her up a bit. As she had been in an argument with the friend she lived with, I proposed to take her to my place so she could have a good sleep. At no time during this whole ordeal did I have any sexual backthought about her. We went to my sister's place, I gave her the bed and I slept on the couch.

I woke up around noon, and she woke up around 4pm. I fixed her a breakfast, we talked a bit, then she thanked me, gave me a hug, and left to try and get back to her place. I never had any news since then, and didn't expect any.

Anyway, I think that's probably the kind of reaction any normal person would have in such situation, not "yeah, rape time!".

Darwin is missing??!!

Nope. Doesn't sound like that at all. Care to share how you've taken what I wrote and arrived at such a strange conclusion?
The notion that our experience has no intrinsic value, outside of our own human-centric worldview, is integral to the religious impulse - i.e. "the universe has no meaning so we better make something up...waaah!".
You still fail to point out how my statement is anything like the "standard religious mindset". Restating what you said isn't the same as clarifying it. If I had stated that our existence is meaningless unless some "supreme being" existed to—through sheer might—attribute value to it, then you would have a leg to stand on. As of now, you do not. What I've stated thus far is that any value we may attribute to our lives, experiences, and/or existence, is ultimately subjective. It cannot be intrinsic.

A diamond's physical attributes, like density for example, are intrinsic, and would remain so even if we vanished tomorrow. What would not remain, however, is the emotional or monetary value we've attributed to it.
A diamond has incidental value as a currency because, for whatever reason, we've decided that it does. So yes, when the human race goes extinct, the 'value' of diamonds will go with us. But the value of human experience - and cogniscent beings in general - is different: our existence is intrinsically valuable by virtue of the fact we are here to ascribe to value it. What, in the universe, can possibly be more valuable and meaningful than that?
That reeks of circularity, and the bad kind, too.

1. Humans exist
2. Humans value that they exist.
3. Therefore human existence is intrinsically valuable?

In other words, human existence is intrinsically valuable because humans exist and they value their own existence? And the Bible is the word of "god", right? LOLzzz. No. What's next? Are you going to tell me morality is objective too? :naughty:

Like someone else pointed out, only half jokingly I assume, other beings on this planet, with the ability to attribute value, probably find us to be a major pain in the ass [and rightly so]. Hell, I know individual humans, as well as whole ideologies [non-religious, lolz] that find our existence to be meaningless, worthless, or worse, a detriment to all other life on this planet. So much for "intrinsicity"...

In other news:

Feminists Ask for Protection After Attack in Ukraine
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/19/world ... urope&_r=1&
Leaders of Femen, the Ukrainian women’s rights group known for staging bare-breasted political protests, demanded government protection on Sunday after two of them and a male associate were assaulted while on vacation in the Black Sea port city of Odessa.
...
It was the fifth time in recent weeks that members of Femen were assaulted. The group says the attacks are part of a campaign to drive it out of the country.
Assuming that the story is true and they are really being beaten up (and not staging it themselves) my guess is that they finally pissed off someone with the resources to do something about it.

Somehow, I am not sympathetic to their plight at all. In fact I find myself completely unsurprised and without any sort of empathy or compassion for people who I have every expectation would have none for me.

Finally, I am amused though that a group supposedly fighting the Patriarchy is now calling upon the Patriarchy for protection, presumably from the said same Patriarchy.

It's like watching the worst Star Trek episodes. Janice Lester has taken over Kirk's body, John Gil has placed Nazis in charge of a planet. All that ham-fisted dialog that's totally unbelievable.

And I think that's what stuns me, that for two years these people act like a bad tv movie and I'm left thinking well, it seems like they have no clothes.

Yargh, yes. This is not Photoshop/art related, but in my third year as a pro tech writer, and knowing full well how/when/why/where to keep regular backups of my files, I somehow, somehow, somehow, accidentally permanently and irretrievably deleted a full four and a half week's worth of a tightly deadlined project.

Very, very bad mojo that was.
i was going back a few pages and didn't realize I missed this!

Oh my, that sucks (he said, in the understatement of the year). Reminds me of a story.

Back in my programming days my direct boss, the lead software engineer, was extremely lax about backing his shit up. I bitched at him endlessly and told him such laziness inevitably results in heartbreak. He just did the "yeah yeah, I know, I'll get to it" routine.

Well, one day I decided that nagging wasn't working, so when I came in I backed up about three weeks worth of his extremely time-critical deadline-tomorrow coding for a massively important upgrade and deleted it from the engineering server. He came in, said "good morning" to us, and went into his office. Several minutes went by, and then I started hearing this "OOOOOHHHH NOOOOOO OH GOD OH SHIT FUCK PISS CUNT DAMN!!!!!!!!" etc. I could barely keep from grinning.

Finally, he called me into his office. He was in tears. He just kept moaning, "You were right, man... what the hell AM I GOING TO DO?!?!?" I let him cry on my shoulder so to speak for a minute, then I flipped him the backup disk and said "NOW do you understand how important it is to back your shit up?" I thought the fucker was going to piss himself in relief. That relief turned to anger (justifiably so I guess, because I played a really fucked-up and cruel trick on him), and he threatened to fire me on the spot. To which I replied "OK, you do that, and then when the president of the company asks why you fired me, go right ahead and tell him that it all started because you never followed procedure and backed your projects up. I'll make sure he gets the right story, in case you don't want to tell him." Needless to say, I never got fired and to my knowledge he always backed his shit up after that :lol:

Maybe it was just a punctuation fail on Melody's part and what she meant to say was "I don't think. He should be in a place of leadership."

Now, she needs to do it correctly - photoshop someone's face onto it, like Jen as the horse, or maybe put the flatulence itself with a face (such as Ophelia) - that's what we'd do (those with the skill, that is) - Ophelia would use other's faces, though.

That Patheos (Sith) link and comments were interesting. No one brought up the - if 2-8& of rape charges are false (just for the argument), then the chances of both PZ and Canuck being falsely accused is pretty small, especially if you add in other things, such as blogging at a particular site, etc, probably very small probability of happening. That leaves either one or both are lying, whether lying about being accused, or lying about the charges being false. Now, we all know the argument would never get responded to, the same as they ignore the "always believe the victims" in those cases. I assume they think "well, the charges were false, so PZ and Canuck were both the victims in that case". A bit like the automatic assumption of guilt that Christopher Becker kept talking about in the Sith post comments.

All of you saying that UMM is not a university are making fools of yourselves. It is the "University of Minnesota, Morris." In other words, like many very large university systems, University of Minnesota has smaller branches. These are usually designed to do three things:
1. Offer cheaper tutition
2. Make higher education available to the entire state population rather than just those few who can travel to or live in St. Paul/Minneapolis
3. Funnel students into the main campus after they have had time to demonstrate their ability or earn credits/degrees elsewhere. Not to mention providing a more intimate setting for students not comfortable with larger campuses.

While UMM has only ~2000 students, the entire UM system has 51,000+ and an endowment over $2 billion USD.

So, PZ works for the University of Minnesota at the Morris campus. The Morris brach does offer BA degrees, but that is all. Now, none of this says anything about PZ's credentials. It is a general rule that those teaching at branch campuses are less "awesome" than those teaching at main campuses, though it doesn't have to be that way. UMM itself ranks 386th overall and #6 in "Top Public Schools" for Liberal Arts Colleges, whatever the hell that means. Though certianly not a powerhouse school, UMM can claim a Minnesota State Supreme Court Justice as an alumnus.

Bottom line, the University part of UMM refers to the University of Minnesota. PZ is still an idiot though, even if he taught at Harvard or Oxford.

The position of Melody "I know what it's like to be blind because I stubbed my toe once" Hensley is that Paul Loebe shouldn't be in a leadership position.

The position of Melody "I call women sisters punishers who don't agree with me" Hensley is that Paul Loebe shouldn't be in a leadership position.

Should I go on? There comes a point when irony turns into parody. Melody doesn't seem to know when to not cross that threshold.

Last I heard she smelled of cabbages. She is way too dried up to smell of fish.

I like fish. Fish make good eating ... so no way can OB ever smell of fish, unless she eats one herself and I do not see that happening either.

What? :doh:

that, and he disagreed with FtB's tactics on his blog. Now they're calling him "unfit for a leadership position" and they're trying to get his twitter account terminated. I expect the "He touched my boobie at a con last year" rumors to start any day now.

Ugh.

So she's claiming that someone has "threatened her job" because she was banned from RBB FB page and someone told her if she kept it up her boss at AU would know about it.

Then she's linking Justin from RBB if she knows all the "mean" stuff Ellen said to her.

And... she's claiming to suffer from PTSD.

Read her Twitter feed. It's passive aggressive, sarcastic, leading questions, accusations, calls for dismissal...

Bet: First round draft pick for Atheism+. Most promising person since Julia.

I mean, hell, I basically live out in the forest in a neat little village with 100 or so people, in some VERY rural parts of Sweden, and the I took some extra courses recently in the really shitty "högskolan" ("collage" or "university collage"?) in my nearest, very small city. That school have something like 6-8.000 students, and that place is nowhere near getting granted the status of university. When I think of university, I think of a serious education center with at least 15-20.000 students, with serious science and research departments, real research, etc... 2000 students in a 5k town? That's like the town in my neighbor municipal a few miles away, and that's basically a few houses grouped up in the sticks. Takes maybe 30 mins to bike from end to end of that town... and that's kinda the size of the town where PZ Myers is king?
Size does not matter, in some cases. Some Ivy League schools are small. The university where I work has a student strength of about 5500 undergraduates and a 1000 or so graduate students. It is probably the top school in the nation. It has very serious education and research facilities.

Of course, not all small schools are setup for top-end research. Many schools cater to teaching. I think UMM is one of them. These schools are not bad, and many aim to provide quality education locally. I would not judge UMM just on PZ. It is probably a fine school as far as teaching goes, and one of its aims may be to prepare students for graduate school. Lets not beat up UMM just because on of their teachers is a blathering idiot.

It's all Justin Vacula's fault. I'm only half joking, these people feel empowered to do these things because they live in a bubble and have been effective in getting people removed from positions or to get them to come back with grovelling apologies. If JV hadn't resigned or if RL, instead of apologising, had told Hensley to stop white-anting CFI or look for another job, these guys would be a lot quieter.

You can hear the arrogance in their comments - "I don't think he should be in a leadership position" - translating to - whoever has the power has to get rid of Paul or we will make things tough for you as well.

LOLz! I think you should define what you mean by that, because in many ways, I believe humanity, and this "intelligence" we've ended up with, is a bad joke. We are very much "special", but I don't see how our experience has any value, other than when viewed through the lens of self-centered human subjectivity.
The value of human intelligence is an interesting question. My hunch is that life is probably fairly common in the universe (and we may be close to at least inferring it on extra-solar planets) but that advanced, technological life is extremely rare.
I base the last bit on the only case we have, namely our own planet. In several billion years of evolution Earth has (as far as we know) coughed up an advanced technological species exactly once. It's been around for for a few hundred thousand years, has possessed technology for (depending on how you define it) for a few thousand to a few hundred and (here's the key part) stands an excellent chance of destroying itself in the next few decades.
I think it was James Cameron who said that, if you really want to know why the dinosaurs went extinct, the answer is because they didn't have a space program.
At some point life gets snuffed out on the Earth and humans are, at present, the only species capable (at least potentially) of spreading, life, consciousness, and (might as well) meaning out across the stars. Absent that, the universe is essentially a bunch of rotating rocks.
The problem is the "chimps with nukes" dichotomy. We have developed astonishing powers whilst still running basic primate software.
As Hitch put it; "Our pre-frontal lobes are too small and our adrenal glands our too big". Our technology is way, way, WAY out of phase with our biology.
Possibly it all works out and we get a Kim Stanley Robinson vision of the future. The silence from the stars, however, suggests otherwise.
Gefan, have you read Asimov's book on the 'intelligent aliens": ,Extraterrestrial Civilizations'

The Ada Initiative's response to the cancellation is even worse.

Is this what feminism has been reduced to? Whimpering women with victim fetishism, and the men that enables them? :snooty:
