Pobama posted:That woman is not a human. Look at her dull, glazed eyes, her jerky unnatural movements. She is a homunculus, her soul long ago carved out. I've been using the Bikeshare program in DC for almost two years now, and according to the stats on my account I use it at least once a day on average. I don't take it to work (subway is faster), but a large chunk of the time that I run errands or go to see friends I use it. DC hasn't seemed terribly angry about BikeShare, and we've had an increasing number of bikelanes. The program is consistently expanding and neighbouring counties are buying into the program too, so it really seems a success overall. Given that there are hundreds of cities in the world with these, at least some of which must have very similar demographics/traffic/terrain/etc to NYC, you'd think people would be able to find examples of the program not resulting in shipping people off to gulags or sacrificing infants in bike lanes. I ran into a New Yorker in DC over the holiday who was commenting on my pulling a Bikeshare off the rack, and he mentioned that in his neighborhood people had been screaming blue murder about how unsightly the racks were and how it totally destroyed the appearance of the neighborhood. Apparently this is big in Greenwich, so I googled up a picture of a typical neighborhood:  gently caress. You. Your "pristine" neighborhood is packed with cars up and down the length, but somehow you crane your neck over those and are appalled by a rack of a dozen blue bicycles? Of all methods of transportation, mine is the one cluttering our curbsides? Anyway, here's a picture of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, drawing parallels to Muhammad bin Qasim, the Arab general who brought Islam to what is now Pakistan in the 8th century.

It gets better, here's a picture of one of the streets. Yes, truly destroyed. Not since Dresden has such horror been wrought. I think if they could figure out how to wedge the Japanese into their complaints they could liken it to Hiroshima or the Rape of Nanking.

Kit Walker posted:Is there, like, a difference between the media representation of chavs where ALL working class people are implied to be violent and unruly, while actual chavs are just a specific subculture, or is it something else? I've never heard of anyone, ever being a "self-identified chav", if that helps. In my school people in my friends group referred to other kids (basically all of the ones that weren't in some sort of goth/emo/nerd subculture, there weren't any rich kids in my school) as "chavs" but if they did it to their faces the kids would get incredibly offended. Even the ones who dressed in tracksuits constantly, as well as other stereotypical "chav" fashions, and were actually involved in street crime and/or carried knives to school. I've never heard anybody try to reclaim the word, in contrast to "redneck". Even the people who correctly identify it as a classist term tend to be either middle-class (like Jones) or people from a working-class background who are no longer best described as working-class themselves. So my feeling is that your gf, much like me and my friends at school and even the people we were calling chavs, has internalized the concept and decided it only describes those other working-class people- when actually what constitutes that bad "other" is extremely amorphous. Of course there is a reality of working-class crime in the UK but it's much more helpful to try and view it the same way anti-racist groups in the US view inner-city crime and "gang-bangers" rather than trying to divide poor or black criminals into "the good ones" and "the bad ones".

Yes, but there are groups of young people in England who dress in a certain way (tracksuits, Burberry, etc.). Whether they identify themselves as "chavs" or not, I don't know, but they do appear to be trying to connect themselves to some subculture, whatever they call it.

Grand Prize Winner posted:Maybe it's my American upbringing here, but didn't everyone carry knives to school? Well, at mine I only ever remember bringing butter knives for sandwiches and stanley knives for art occasionally. The few kids I'm talking about had the sharper kitchen knives and would tell you if you questioned them that it was because they couldn't risk being caught by someone from another "gang" (they were not really proper gangs as I grew up in a smallish town) or the "hard kids" from another school without one. Who knows if it was just bravado or not, but the UK has strict restrictions on selling kitchen knives to minors due to genuine cases of them being used in street crime. As for the idea someone floated about the deliberate wearing of certain clothes to be part of a subculture- it depends, and some of the people that tried to do that tended to call themselves "gangsters", not chavs. From the outside they do tend to look like the same groups of people. But back then (I'm not sure about the trends now) it was widespread for regular kids to wear such outfits without perceiving themselves as similar in any way to the ones trying to cultivate such an image. For a couple of years (2002-4) tracksuits and Burberry-style prints were really popular with pretty much all younger teenagers who were not "alternative", at least where I lived. So to an extent, ordinary people were and are profiled for a certain style of clothing. Mostly this seems to happen in London and other places big enough to form real gang subcultures, though. These things were definitely all the rage when I was about 13 and I can't imagine anyone seriously committing a crime in one (if only because it's like putting on a flashing neon sign while doing so):  Ed: As an aside my home town (Crewe) got called "chav capital of the UK" on the website chavscum.co.uk way back (it isn't now), but I'm pretty sure this is because one of the law lecturers at the local college was the webmistress (or so she claimed). Crewe isn't the world's greatest place, but the only way I could imagine people finding it notable for any reason is if they lived in one of the even smaller posh neighbouring towns and only had those to compare it to. The crime rates have never been remotely high during my lifetime. Weldon Pemberton fucked around with this message at 07:31 on Jun 10, 2013 |

Soooo, a Norwegian CE store chain has just "renewed" itself and has a new ad campaign to reflect that.  Translation: "1432 of our good employees sadly had to quit. Many would probably have raised their prices. We decided to cut the costs and lower ours. WE WILL ROCK YOU! Welcome to the new Expert." They also have an ad where they happily broadcast how much money they "saved" by result of their mass layoff. The response from people on Twitter is pretty much just as you'd expect: Outrage and complete bafflement. ulvir fucked around with this message at 12:56 on Jun 10, 2013 |

Speaking of the Illuminati, http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/texts/illuminati.html "Neither Robison nor Barruel deny that the professed goal of the Order was to teach people to be happy by making them good — to do this by enlightening the mind and freeing it from the dominion of superstition and prejudice. But they refused to accept this at face value. Where Weishaupt and Knigge promoted a freedom from church domination over philosophy and science, Robison and Barruel saw a call for the destruction of the church. Where Weishaupt and Knigge wanted a release from the excesses of state oppression, Robison and Barruel saw the destruction of the state. Where Weishaupt and Knigge wanted to educate women and treat them as intellectual equals, Robison and Barruel saw the destruction of the natural and proper order of society." They seem pretty stand-up guys in general...

 Volkel Air Base, located near the town of Uden, Noord-Brabant, in the Netherlands, where former Prime Minister Ruud Lubbers (1982-94) says nuclear bombs are stored on behalf of the USAF for use by the Royal Netherlands Air Force in the event of war. United States diplomatic cable leaks in 2010 revealed the presence of US nuclear bombs in the Netherlands but this is the first confirmation from a high ranking Dutch civil servant to acknowledge and give the location of their presence.
