Bleeding from the Bunghole

[John D]

There were other people on the plane who saw the porn, and you can be DAMN sure no steward is going to see actual CP and let it pass.

Call me a bit of a prude, but I don't think the cramped crowded confined space of a plane is the right place to watch porn no matter how discrete you think you might be.

Porn in public is just not polite. It's like nose picking or farting. Sure...it's natural and not harmful, but be discreet about it. Some things should just stay private. It helps us get along. I am a happy farting nose-picking porn user... but not in public. ewwwwww.

I can sympathize with that as I’m not particularly happy about many aspects of the religiously based sex mores in society.

However, I think they both might have a point or two. In the case of the woman on the plane, I hardly think it unreasonable to argue that planes are a public area and a place of business where being exposed to porn is inappropriate. Even the Pit draws the line there, particularly of the kiddie variety which the plane-porn seemed to qualify as.

As for the “New Wave Feminist” video, I think her point that the porn industry has been “oversold” has some merit – sort of like the “You’ve come a long way, baby” effort to promote cigarettes to women.

Unless you want to argue categorically that all porn is acceptable – “snuff-porn” anyone? – I think you have to concede that lines do have to be drawn. And I think it rather obvious that the porn industry is anything but a mom-and-pop corner store, that there are some rather seamy if not barbaric aspects to it. Apropos of which you might be interested in the following video from an ex-porn star. While one might throw a stone or two at the “messenger” for some of her other perspectives, I think many of her observations on the porn industry bear some consideration:

[youtube]xGdMi-oC9nM[/youtube]

Actually, the woman saying it was child porn was lying. The women were asian. I don't know about you, but I find it impossible to guess the age of an asian woman by looking. Between 16 and 40, they disappear from all measurement of time and become ageless. :lol: She just said it was "child" porn because she's a religious zealot and she wanted to wind people up. There were other people on the plane who saw the porn, and you can be DAMN sure no steward is going to see actual CP and let it pass. Fucking 4Chan isn't cool with that shit. She also mentioned "whips" and then called it "violent." See the pattern?

Young asian women=child porn
Whips=violent porn

It was all part of her victim narrative to paint these women as exploited helpless girls who need her help. The man was watching looking at porn on his private laptop, and I think we both know how laptop screens work when it comes to people on either side of you looking at your screen. It's pretty easy to just turn the display light down and nobody (except someone behind him, which this woman was) can see. Obviously I am not in favor of CP.

As for the other lady, well, TBH I just grabbed the first radical feminist I saw. That video is not SO unreasonable, but I still disagree. While I am not a fan of snuff porn, I think any consensual porn between adults that does not cause life-threatening harm to the participants should be allowed. And is porn oversold? Porn itself isn't on billboards or in the middle of the street. It's not at your job or the Wendy's or even in your home. If you choose, you can go your entire life without exposure to actual porn. But yeah, sex is aggressively used in marketing. Because marketing is full of slimeballs who know sex sells. But that's marketing culture, and banning all porn would have no effect on how much sex is used in ads.

Porn is just filling a demand. A huge demand. As violent crime has declined in the USA, porn use has risen. :lol: That's not a direct correlation, but it is funny. Porn is used all the time by everyone because sex is hugely important to our species. I'm all for improving porn working conditions, as with the law passed in california requiring the use of condoms. And the plight of male porn stars should not be ignored, which of course it currently is.

Oh look, pay inequity!

Anyway, the huge rise of camcorder/home video porn means there is a metric ton of porn out there that does not have the industry abuse problems you and I both care about. So, what do feminists think of this? For a sex-negative feminist, it makes little difference unless the sex is between two people in a loving relationship, and even then she would probably feel the act of filming "objectifies" the woman. There's also the matter of feminist porn sites. I suppose those people are just chill girls? :roll:

Did a quick search for Muslim and Islam at OB's blog and got more than 300 posts. A scan of some of the posts indicates she's pretty vocal about the stuff Pat Condell mentioned, so I guess she is not one of the progressive feminists he's talking about. In one post http://freethoughtblogs.com/butterflies ... -merciful/ she says

...Allah is not a friend to women

Pat Condell was never going to get along with the SJW crowd. He's been slammed so many times with various "bigot" labels for his outspoken criticism of Islam. Not to mention, he is a big-time Freeze Peach advocate who is entirely against censorship. I'm surprised there was ever a time when PZ did NOT hate him.

honestly accidents should be considered automatically the driver's fault when a pedestrian or cyclist is involved.

Automatically. No excuses. They're the biggest danger on the road simply by virtue of propelling a deadly weapon up and down the streets, therefor the weight of responsibility ought to be carried by them.

This is a great framework for looking at privilege. The POV is so clearly "I can hurt you far more than you can hurt me, so I don't need to be careful. Why should I care?"

I was watching the film Oleanna recently. It's based on a David Mamet play that portrays feminists of the 90's (when the play and movie were originally produced and filmed) the way the FTB crowd act now. It's a story that is, despite the tagline, crafted to make us feel sorry for a man accused of sexual misconduct. Men, women, most people who watch it say "the woman was wrong." Feminists hate it because of how evil the woman/feminist was protrayed.

After I watched the film, I immediately told myself that John should have never been alone with such a confused and anxiety ridden student. I asked myself how he could ever initiate physical contact with a student regardless of his intentions or meaning. By SJW logic, I'm a misandrist victim-blamer for pointing out how john could protect himself from unnecessary worry by being more careful with his actions

Except there is one problem.

Parking will have to be removed in order to make room for the special bike lane. Which basically leaves businesses out in the cold. No parking, no customers.

Do the bikers care? Nope. FUCK YOU BUSINESS OWNERS.

Hmm... Grey Bloke's video is an obvious spoof of this:
[youtube]GFn-ixX9edg[/youtube]
(Jump to 5 minutes in to see exactly what is being spoofed.)

And he also riffs off of Richard Dawkin's reputation. Fair/unfair? I have certainly done worse in my more satirical days. Of course back then my goal(s) were to either make people laugh, and maybe get thing discussing issues. I never claimed or wanted to claim to always be "right."

As far as his work goes, I think it is a perfectly good technical execution of parody. But his primary problem, he is parodying something that is boring, lame and shitty to begin with. Look at Dawkin's video again... just sample it 5+ minutes in. I won't make you watch the whole thing. Sometimes when you do a good parody of something stupid and lame, your end product WILL BE LAME AND STUPID TOO. In fact it was so lame & stupid, that people hated it. Probably the same people who hated Dawkin's techno video (or would have hated it had they seen it). He also strolls in 3 months after the fact. Grey Bloke also failed to act when it would have been timely. He didn't strike when the iron was hot. In comedy, timing is just about everything. Hell, I've had a Pokemon joke that I have been aching to do, but it is just so long and far after the event, I know it would not be as funny.

On a side note, I understand how somegreybloke feels in this tweet
[tweet][/tweet]
But on the other side of the coin, isn't he doing the same exact thing to Dawkins? Dawkins created a lame piece of shit, and here comes somegreyblock pissing all over it. All I have to say to somegreybloke, is that if you dish it out, you had damn well be able to take it.

If you're a pedestrian and you get hit by a car, then it is absolutely your fault, unless a car actually jumps the curb or something. There's no excuse for not seeing a car coming. They put lights on those things, you know. And they make loud noises.

Cyclists are a bit more of a grey area; the one time I was hit on a bike was because a driver ran through a stop sign. But as far as I'm concerned, any pedestrian who gets hit by a car deserved it.

She has already admitted that in retrospect her behavior was horrible. She may not have apologized for every shitty word she dished out. But if she did that, she would still be apologizing & not getting anything else done.

As far as I am concerned, recognizing what she was involved in, stopping such behavior, admitting to having been involved in that type of behavior, and even calling attention to what is wrong with it now is pretty good behavior.

Everyone makes mistakes & does stupid shit. And for the most part, I am happy if they stop doing stupid shit in the future. I don't personally need to smack them with the stupid stick from here unto eternity.

It's completely absurd. Bikes ought to be barred from major arteries completely; there are lots of side streets that cars are discouraged from using through things like speedbumps or diverters, so let cyclists use those.

I sense this will be the next Pitstorm, so just let me also add: Can we get rid of those ridiculous kneeling buses with all that space for wheelchairs? The only people who ever seem to use them are mothers with gigantic strollers, probably because actual handicapped people are taking advantage of the HandiDART service.

Shoe horning in a dedicated bike lane is going to take space out of either the existing car lanes, parking lanes, median, sidewalk or front lawns. In some areas, this isn't a big deal. Large cities may not have the space or luxury. In my city, where putting in a dedicated bike lane just isn't practical, they have packed bike path markers in the slower lane to make drivers a bit more aware. It is honestly more cosmetic than anything else. But it seems to keep most people happy.

IF they get used.
Some cultures & terrains are used to biking. Others are not. For those places without an existing biking culture, it will probably take generations to make such a switch over, if it were to ever occur.

In most other areas, I think you would get more bang per buck by having a few dedicated bus lanes, or HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lanes

Ehh..not so much. It's about half and half. Sometimes you're walking with the walk sign and somebody is texting and blows through a red light. You see them coming, but one can only move so fast. Got clipped a little last year, somebody just blew through the light. Saw it coming, but couldn't get out of the way fast enough, as I'm crippled up a bit and was gimping along as best I could. No permanent injuries, but I was a bit ticked.

On the other hand, I've seen both pedestrians and bicyclists act as though they can break every law around, wander into traffic, cross against the light and if the drivers object, too bad. Also seen motorcycles pull some pretty dumb shit as well. There's plenty of blame for everybody around. Except me, but I'm very special.

Hmm, what would have been the FTB reaction to this article if Justin Vacula had written it? PZ is telling reactionary SJWs that adding diversity to nerd culture does not mean the white cis men need to be silent and excluded. But wait, I thought that was the whole point of telling white cis men to "check their privilege" and keep checking it until they accept the SJW party lines. I mean, what is "check your privilege" if it is not, and I quote PZ Fucking Myers:

...we nerdy old white men have to go crawl into a closet somewhere.

Anyway, Hell has frozen over, PZ has written an article I actually agree with. But I am curious what the reaction would have been from SJWs if someone not affiliated with the SJW movement (perhaps, an MRA?) had written the exact same damn article.

Oh wait, here is a fun comment:

You can *kinda* see where they are coming from. Like, if I stretch my mind a bit, I could see from a certain angle that it would be nice to see some not-white not-male scientists being out in the public’s eye for nothing but the fact that they are pop-scientists.

However, we’ve reached an old dilemma here. Do we bring some fresh, yet completely unknown, underprivileged/minority face into the mix, or do we keep giving the old white guy the reigns because he may be more successful in the public eye due to old stereotypes still at large?

:naughty: "If you're a white man, I guess I can allow you to enjoy one of your hobbies on television, but it's sure a shame we can't find a black person to replace you!"

One of the other SJWs gets pissy (in about two thousand words) because Weird Science is sexist, but oh, it wouldn't be sexist if only they flipped the script and Nye was the "perfect man" created by the nerdy woman! Because when we reverse sexism, it ceases to be sexist!

Disliking that video was the last thing I did on the SomeGreyBloke channel before unsubscribing. Hated doing both, but enough is enough.

I did the same not two hours ago. :shifty:

Crimony. Are you all that sensitive? If you liked his stuff before, I don't see why 2-3 videos should put you off.

I personally never liked his stuff. Not that it wasn't well done. My issue it appears has always been the same. His original shtick was some really boring guy... which I found really boring.

I see Peezus has taken on Pat Condell now.

:popcorn:

He used to feature Pat Condell (before he became a retroactive feminist) on his blog. That's where I first heard of Pat. And Mr. Diety. And Michael Shermer. And Chris Mooney. And Phil Plaitt. And Jerry Coyne. And a whole bunch more...


Hmm.... That's a lot of burned bridges. Is there anyone he doesn't hate now? Besides the blue haired one...

Speaking of Mr Deity, Michael Shermer, and burned bridges, check out this video on Mr Deity's youtube channel:

(Note the statues behind the skeptic in some shots...but particularly note this video, its credits, and the charred ruins of whatever bridge there used to be between Brian Keith Dalton and FtB/Skepchick/A+.)

It wasn't 2-3 videos. The channel has had a major change in focus since Booth caught feminism and became an asshole.

The appeal of the older stuff is that it looks at problems in human interaction by way of a sympathetic oaf. The combination of honesty about people's failings with respect for their humanity is hard to do, and I often found it touching as well as funny.

The respect part is what changed. Graham wasn't anyone's enemy, now Booth is. "The other side" is now seen as utterly without humanity, and parodied as loathsome. But the loathsomeness is in the parody, not "the other side". If you don't see the change, you're probably better off.

Hahaha. That was great, especially the part where Condell mocked the SJWs' nerdrage about Twitter meanies. That must have hit ol' Pissy like a crowbar to the nuts. He hates it when people don't take his pet issues seriously.

The whole "drivers are always wrong" and "car-owning privilege" bullshit is so tiring. I would hear this same type of crap from my friends who rode bikes or motorcycles: the car driver is always wrong, and everyone else is a perfect little angel.

I understand the frustration with some people who drive, because some people who drive are assholes, and so are some people who ride motorcycles and so are some people who ride bikes and so are some people who pedesturbate:

"As the size of a group increases, the odds of that group containing a douchebag rapidly approaches one."
--Descarte

But car-owning privilege? Really? Honestly? Truly?

I would love to never have to drive again. I would love it if I could walk to everywhere I needed to be. Unfortunately, some of us have jobs, and some of those jobs are located in areas where we can't afford to live, and some of those jobs have schedules which aren't compatible with any form of public transportation in the region. But sure, we're so upper-class and privileged with our wealth that we go into debt to purchase a car so we can try to eke out a living.

Tilt at some privilege, you pissy little shits, I'm sure it's not just a windmill.

Yeah. I wasn't a fan, so it is no surprise that I would miss any change. It sounds like he broke what I consider my cardinal rule for parody & satire for public consumption. Never write or 'shoop stuff if it is personal to you. You anger/angst etc will come across, your biases will be exposed and you will lose half your audience. Most of my best pieces were written in such a way that it would be difficult to determine what side I was on.

Vaginas are acidic, making them a hostile environment to sperm.
More proof against Intelligent Design.

That's why I don't go down... I'm not selfish like. Just don't want acid thrown in my face, is all.

It all makes sense if you think of women as Xenomorphs.

Absolute gem of a topic at A+ that someone on Twitter linked to:

http://atheismplus.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3194

Pedestrians as rape victims, automatically guilty car drivers. It's a like a proxy for every bogeyman they ever had.

Lots of "violent threats" from internet tough guy, The_Laughing_Coyote, in that thread too.
The theme seems to be "I would have done violent X if calming Y hadn't occurred" or "I should have violently performed X on him but, unfortunately, mysterious Y stopped me".

That grin on his face was the kinda "Whoopsie-doodle, hurrhurrhurr almost made a booboo there!" look that I just want to wipe off with a clawhammer.

But you didn't. Right?

He stopped and leaned out of his window and started yelling at me, As Old Fucks tend to do. Oh how I regret not punting one of his lights in!

What stopped you?




This next one is a gem. Here he blatantly tries to impress his ex-girlfriend, accompanied by her child to another man, by spitting on the car of an old person.

Another time I was walking around with an ex girlfriend and her NEWBORN FUCKING BABY and some old piece of shit nearly backs into us. I tried to spit on her car but missed IIRC. Shoulda booted out a taillight, she certainly backed up closely enough.

Hmmm....I wonder why they broke up? He's so obviously a cool renegade who plays by his own rules that the only explanation is he left her because his cock wouldn't fit in her vagina.

For a regular poster on a forum which is vehemently opposed to making threats on the internet he sure makes a lot of threats on the internet.

She's been hearing voices since she was a kid and decided it was jesus talking to her. And the moon told her to fuck off which had something to do with evil or the devil or something. She's stark raving drooling mad.

Which brings up an interesting dichotomy (possibly, not the right word).

If someone announces that they are hearing voices, the normal reaction of those within earshot, is to smile, nod, and back slowly out of the room.
For some reason, society seems to grant a waiver if the voice is asserted to emanate from a Supreme Being.
This has never made sense to me.
There seems to be a much greater overlap between schizophrenia and religiosity than most people are willing to admit.

Porn itself isn't on billboards or in the middle of the street. It's not at your job or the Wendy's or even in your home.

which is a damn shame


also i must object to the facist tit's constant attempts at triggering al
