beatlegs posted:People are afraid to say it but the religious conservative political movement in this country is a cult that enables mental dysfunction in it's members and in many cases turns otherwise normal people into delusional victims who require the comforting reinforcements of con-media messaging & narratives in order to feel secure. The outside "real" world to them is a frightening, threatening place where no one can be trusted. I know it's impolite to say, but the movement in it's current form is fueled by mental illness. With observations like this, it's like we go to the same family reunions Also: Article: Mental illness in U.S. adults widespread From: CBS News Date: Nov 21, 2014 quote:Nearly one in five American adults -- 43.8 million people -- experienced some type of diagnosable mental illness last year. The latest findings, from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration's (SAMHSA) 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, show just how widespread such issues really are.

Literally right now while I'm sitting here Bret Baer is doing a story on how the Duggar, Jenner, and Hastert stories are all part of "sexual media obsession" and that "some people" lack compassion. Because, you know, sexual abusing children is the same thing as having a sex change. Fox News REALLY is going with the "liberals are obsessed with sex" thing to defend kids getting abused.

Im perfectly willing to be labeled sex-obsessed since it looks like Bret is willing to take on the "child molestation apologist" mantle. Guess I'll go back to jacking it and thinking its pretty neat that bruce jenner is a woman now. Hope Bret enjoys his time doing PR work for kid diddlers and the parents who enable them.

Intel&Sebastian posted:"the other kids won't hear their names!" is such a silly rear end pearl-clutch fantasy. It has to be said so things dont get out of hand but thats obviously not the situation here. At my graduation it was "Duke. Igthorn." *several seconds of me getting up to walk and accept my diploma* Is it not that everywhere? Are there places where they read the names rapid fire fashion and shoot diplomas at students out of T-shirt cannons when they raise their hands and if they don't raise in time it's four more years of school?

Duke Igthorn posted:At my graduation it was "Duke.

That's plenty of time to be all 'whoo Jimmy' and still be done by the time the next kid is up.

My high school class was like 900 and even with maybe 5-10 seconds between each name and pre-emptive requests for families to remain silent until the end, there were still occasional whoops or whistles because seriously who cares as long as you're not drowning out the next kid's name. edit: I guess if anyone's family was out of control the reader would wait to announce the next name and also remind everyone to hold applause. Not call the police. This got posted in the Duggary thread. I had no idea Bristol was so completely loving crazy nowadays. http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/bristol-palin-compares-josh-duggar-to-lena-dunham-double-standards-201546 quote:Yeesh!

I've actually been to graduations where someone seems like they brought their entire extended family and it sounds like they're being chosen for The Price Is Right for a solid minute or so, making the next couple names hard to hear. Its a big day for your kid but it shouldn't be a far-fetched scenario to anyone that people are unnecessarily loud and inconsiderate of others.

He's just saying it happens because we're getting close to saying it doesnt. My thing is...whats to do about it? Its a big narcissistic exercise anyway. Maybe i should call the cops and lawyers because mine was too quiet, it turned a moment of celebration into a depressing death march. Or maybe have the kid walk again if their parents didnt like the first one? The point being this superintendent is a loving idiot and needs to shut up and drop changes before he loses his job over a power trip.

quote:"That makes me want to puke," Palin wrote of Dunham's first-person account of the experimentations. "Remember the liberal media outrage? Oh that's right. It didn't happen," Palin wrote in her blog post about the actress. "The liberal media darling Dunham was praised for her 'honest and witty' book. The double standards make me sick."

It's perfectly possible to make loud people leave without arresting them, he could have even warned the crowd beforehand that people who made excessive noise would be removed. There's absolutely no justification for criminal charges, it was completely absurd and superfluous.

We didn't have inflatable penises sadly but we did have beach balls and flamingos we snuck in under our robes. Our high school was big and graduation was kind of a slog, who gives a poo poo if people want to have a bit of fun for a few seconds during the hours-long process. Be respectful of the other kids yeah- but their calling the cops is so stupidly uptight.

To the people who "follow" them, it worked. I have witnessed several Facebook posts saying that "they believe the Duggars 200% and whoever stole this information needs to be in jail" and "I have worked with sexual assault victims who did not receive help and these girls do not look like that...the parents did the best that they could." Hopefully, there are more sane people than those.

Yeah, and the number of people who follow the Duggar saga are a small number who are plugged into the right wing media sphere. Whatever casual viewership they were getting on TLC is no longer going to exist due to the show being cancelled, and most of those casual people will probably be horrified when they find out why. The only people who support the Duggars at this point are fundie Christians that believe all matters should be settled through The FNC interviews are just FNC pandering to their decrepit old base and feeding their need to feel like a persecuted minority. Oh no, society doesn't accept us trying to do the criminal justice and mental health equivalents of homeschooling our sexually abusive child.

quote:RUSH: Have you ever been at a public ceremony of any kind where a bunch of people are gonna be acknowledged and the host asks you to hold your applause individually until everybody has been recognized, and then applaud en masse? I have. I can't remember the last one. I wish I could, to give you an example. But they list people are gonna be award winners recognized for something, and the emcee says, "Please hold your applause until all have been mentioned." I remember kind of laughing during the whole (crosstalk) section of that transcript because the subtext sounded racist as gently caress. Now for some sexist bullshit quote:RUSH: How about this headline from The Daily Caller: "Not a Single Woman Passed the Ranger Course." Yeah, this is gonna be a problem. "The Army stated Friday that not even one woman passed the requirements for the next phase of Ranger School. This means that out of the total of eight women left in the grueling, two-month long course at Fort Benning, Georgia, five are set to drop out, USA Today reports.

Do some people not realize that high school graduation may be the highest level of education some people get? I mean if you have a low income background, then going to anything higher than a community college is out of your reach, especially with the high costs of college tuition. What's the big deal if your family wants to cheer you on for graduating high school? It takes like 5 seconds of extra time, but so what, let people have their fun. This basically boils down to "look at them blacks a hoopin' and a hollerin'".

I went to an inner city school so maybe all that seems a bit stereotypical but it was way more entertaining than sitting quietly waiting for your name to be called

Oh it was (Connecticut) but I was talking towards the idea that you could somehow "miss your name" because of people shouting. Rush's totally real caller up above says the same thing. As if the process is "D-*person yells*... No? Well look who doesn't get to graduate." Instead of each name getting a few seconds of silence as the named party walks across stage. As in exactly what the mother is saying she did.

It's not like they are calling you at random from an audience anyway. You know exactly when they will call you, your are next in line! My graduation was the typical 3 hour death march into adulthood this guy wants and it was aweful. I even tried to skip it entirely but was forced into it anyway and to this day I reget not staying home and playing video games instead. The only thing that made that process bearable was the few families who did break the to rules and it was always a few seconds of disruption followed by a request to be silent until the end. I hope this guy gets every ounce backlash that's coming to him for this power trip. CrowdControl fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Jun 5, 2015 |
