Re: In 2017 Idiocracy is a Documentary
One thing I've never understood is why hasn't anyone claimed that separate bathrooms for men and women are discriminatory in the first place. Separate bathrooms for black people and other people were always considered discriminatory, why not separate bathrooms for men and women. Besides, the facilities are not the same, so keeping men out of women's bathrooms discriminates against women, and keeping women out of men's bathrooms discriminates against women.
What about separate bathrooms for children and adults? Maybe there's no law against discriminating between adults and children, but what if someone that everyone else mistakenly thinks is a child, identifies as an adult?

Women with vaginas need to claim an identity of their own. "I always knew that I was different from other girls, because of my vagina. None of the girls with penises would play with me." Then they need to have a few volunteers commit suicide, because of the hatred against them. Then they need to claim that having bathrooms of their own is part of their identity.

Re: In 2017 Idiocracy is a Documentary
Some of the "most' prescribed drugs happen to be for regulating blood pressure and statins for regulating cholestorol. I have caved in to the big drug companies propaganda and use them daily. As long as I take them I am cured of high blood pressure and blood tests show that my cholesterol is now at healthy levels. It has also alleviated my symptoms (having strokes).jimhabegger wrote:Or even as I said it originally: Most drug prescriptions are substituting relief of symptoms in the place of treating whatever is causing them. Are you disagreeing with that? Are you doubting it? And even if I'm wrong, I don't see how saying that would discourage anyone from using drugs responsibly, to relieve their symptoms.
Actually, what I've been thinking of has been drugs prescribed for perpetual daily use, but what I'm saying might apply to drugs in general. What makes perpetual daily use more of an issue for me is that it has more tragic consequences.
It just so happens that a very close family member of mine that had the same problems as I do, no doubt because of a genetic connection, decided to stop taking their medications because they believed they should "cure" themselves with "natural" remedies and that drugs were bad. They died because of that and it wasn't pretty.
Also, because of my connections to the mental health community I heard of people that went off their medications on a fairly frequent basis with disastrous results, sometimes including death.
Making broad statements about drugs being bad and not being really effective does discourage a large number of people form using something that can help them greatly and sometimes save their lives. In my experience, I have seen more grief caused by not using pharmaceuticals to treat problems than the inappropriate use.

Re: In 2017 Idiocracy is a Documentary
Spain is insane. We all know this. Well I did at any rate. Years ago they created, and made it part of their constitution, an insane gender based violence law.
I talked about this here in Ye Olde Pit of Slyme. In those days the SJW madness did not feature so prominently and as I recall nothing much was made of it then. Basically, one phone call by a woman and whoever she complained about was sent to jail for three days. Only evidence required was that she made a complaint.
But enough. Old news and all that. Besides, we all know that the only men affected would be men who are not part of the elite. Elite women would not dare. There would be consequences.
Now Spain has decided to double down. According to that hive of scum and vaudevillian type of buffonry KotakuInAction as found on Reddit
CENSORSHIP[Censorship] Spain is probably going to aprove an insane law that gives lgbt groups power to censor and revert burden of proof

I'm standing by "I think that drugs are doing a lot of good, and saving peoples lives," and the need for that to be affirmed in the face of what I've been saying. I don't have any interest in trying to defend what I said about most drug prescriptions substituting repression of some symptoms, in the place of actually trying to solve the problems, but if you want to try to understand it, I'll try to help you.
Incidentally, if I had it to do over again, I wouldn't add that remark "Just like most drug prescriptions these days." That thought came into my mind, and I chose not to censor it.
Honestly, it surprised me to see that being questioned.

I'm no fan of Trump, the man is a fucking bellend, but if you're going to hang him for racism, you better have some solid proof.Old_ones wrote:Yeah they did. People called him racist for questioning Obama's citizenship.
Demonstrable, unbiased and reliable proof.

If you'd canvassed the public any time before 2015 and asked if Trump is a racist, few would have said yes; now half the country thinks he is, because of the relentless media campaign against him, because of Muh Hillary Whose Time It Was.
Re: In 2017 Idiocracy is a Documentary
The point's not to prove or even argue that Trump is or isn't a racist. The point is that Mayweather's demonstrably wrong when he says nobody was making the accusation before he ran for President.Bhurzum wrote:I'm no fan of Trump, the man is a fucking bellend, but if you're going to hang him for racism, you better have some solid proof.
