Another notch on the belt for the Fun Police. This is from today, and keep in mind this kid and his friends are Latinos: "Offensive". As in "Nobody cares except for the imaginary people we created in our own empty heads". ... Let's ruin the most fun day of the year for kids. They tried this at my daughter's school, the parents fought back and won. Partially because I told the principal if they didn't let kids dress up I wouldn't DJ their senior Halloween dance which kids ALSO weren't allowed to dress up for. When all else fails, blackmail works on these pussies.
I also think that some of it is a ploy for attention, or a way to be set apart. Thanks to the internet, we can be saturated by the freak show that is humanity. You can claim to be a "gender queer" or what the fuck ever and stand out as more unique than the rest of the snowflakes. I mean honestly, how many actual trans people exist versus how many twat waffles that want special treatment? I would wager the current environment enables the latter at the expense of the former. Remember kids, the absence of privilege is that your race/sexual orientation/gender don't matter....not that being white/straight/cis/male is inherently part of the problem.
I can't get to excited about someone who names his account IsMyCostumeRacist and immediately tweets to the account of "The official twitter account of St. Thomas Aquinas C.S.S for the 2015-2016 school year" a picture of a stereotype. Just a shitty troll.
There's Brother Dean, but before I get to this clip, let me explain Brother Dean. Brother Dean is not trying to actually advocate what he is saying at a face-value. He's just trying to rout out SJW's from making universities their giant hug-boxes (which, lest we forget, are not charities, they're services, people go there to give money in return for knowledge). It's hilarious to see him work. People just get enraged, then mope and call the cops, who tell the people who called them to fuck off and let them get back to it. Let me explain SJW's with a great mirror of this problem: Alan Sokal. He literally wrote a big diatribe of bullshit, and postmodernists bought it hook, line and sinker. Then he turned around and said, "Holy fuck you're all dumb."
He took the story to the TV and newspaper already. The school is making any student that wants to dress on Halloween ask them permission online in this fashion. They have stated "Any culture appropriation is offensive" and started posting those fucking stupid "I am NOT your costume" ads.
The problem with SJW's is they find willing ears. They're time bombs made flesh. What I mean is, here's a narcissist who hates taking responsibility, hates people for being people and having all these crazy ideas and say you hire them. Realistically, you're a company; you don't give a shit about the feelings of your employees in most capacities, you want to make money and be successful. But now you have a person who is literally going to throw something litigious in your lap and go berserk on you. It's a weird paradigm of people who are dubbing themselves Social Justice Warriors are some of the worst sorts of people you would ever meet in your life.
I also always find it fucking hilarious to hear a First World person, who is the predominate race of their country and had affluence enough to never know hunger, or had to flee from child-soldiers, or wild animals with sharp teeth, or ever had to basically live a hellish desperate-hand-to-quivering-mouth life talk about what oppression is. I'm sure if most of these people talked to people who lived in Romania during the time of Nicolae Ceaușescu or practically anyone who lives in the Congo they'd never say another word. You also notice how SJW's aren't seeking to go overseas to prevent women genital mutilations, vicious rapes and be-headings or feeding the desperately impoverished? No. Just endless blog posts, YouTube videos and dialogues about oppression.
Another key, because I feel I'm getting ranty; never apologize to SJW's. Here's why; they're narcissists. They don't want to argue or have an apology. They want the power to see your ass broken and on your knees begging or completely destroyed.
Ok, I do see the point then if the school required students to have pre-approve costumes, he wasn't trolling just for the sake of trolling. So how exactly do we "Celebrate Diversity" then like all the SWJ's want us to? By everyone being exactly the same, so no one gets "Offended"? I don't think they've thought their clever agenda all the way through.
I would love to see some of the more SJW-areas of tumblr walk around Liberia asking people what they identify as. Then General Buck-Naked waltzes by and shoots them with an AK.
I just don't get it. If it was me, I would just wear what the fuck I wanted and tell whoever thought it was inappropriate to go fuck themselves. In fact, I would find the most offensive outfit I could find. It's really pretty simple.
Alright this thread is getting silly. Lets actually have a discussion instead of beating to death how stupid social justice warriors are.
Yeah, sorry guys. Let me start a new topic; Steven Assanti. If anything raises me to a pretty hard rage, it's this motherfucker; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ng-nurse-mocking-taxpayers-pay-treatment.html Like he's been on Dr. Phil, The Biggest Loser, he's had YouTube videos [some of which were he openly mocks taxpayers paying to keep his bloated carcass alive] and is just generally a thing that makes me sad that he's the same species as me. Now let me put this clearly; I have no problem with fat people. Life's too short, if you're okay with being fat, be fat. But this guy has manipulated, crybaby'd and basically lived one gigantic childhood and gloated about it to everyone around him and to even people who wouldn't know who the fuck he was otherwise. He drove his own dad so insane he's now living in a van down by the river, Chris Farley Saturday Night Live jokes aside, that's dumbfounding to me. And now he's got a wee dab of fame. For being a fat, crying, arrogant man who acts like a five-year old raised to be spoiled. What a damn time to be alive.
This seems like the appropriate thread to put this: https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/na...al-extremes/8RvxLlDbgnl0co4PSywagP/story.html First sentence: Rising global temperatures could push the sun-baked cities of the Persian Gulf across a threshold unknown since the start of civilization: the first to experience temperatures that are literally too hot for human survival. So this is basically reaping what we sowed with global warming. Fun!
I'm pretty worried about this. From what I can tell, climate change is a real thing that's happening right now and steadily causing more and more problems - and it's only getting worse. Also, going by my best understanding, the global economy is somewhat shaky and requires constant growth. A prolonged depression in the global economy would be a serious, serious problem. If we look at the economy as one family unit, a major depression isn't like "Oh, we have a lot less income now, we'll have to sell our boat and not go on vacation this winter. Shoot." It's more like "Shit, we owe a lot of people money and now we can't make the minimum payments, we are FUCKED." (Please correct me if I'm wrong on that.) I'm not trying to be an armchair economist here. It's obnoxious when people watch two documentaries and then suddenly "understand" everything that's wrong with economics and capitalism. But, how is climate change not going to displace A LOT of people in the coming decades, mess up food production, etc.? The population of the world went up by a billion from 1998 to 2013 - how can we possibly expect to support those crazy numbers, while dealing with climate change, while making sure our GDPs steadily grow? Does anyone have anything resembling a plan, or are we collectively saying "Well let's just keep the numbers up this quarter and count on human innovation to help us cross that bridge when we get there."?
