A ship that never left harbor is a fantastic Palin metaphor. Or maybe a ship that never left the harbor, saw a supercar on shore one time, and spent the rest of it's life stuck on the beach making vroom vroom noises, surrounded by a crowd of dudes in lamborghini shoes and hats looking less and less excited by the hour.

CNN did some reprehensible story about how no one was shot at any screenings. Was there ever a definitive reason given for some theaters increasing security? I can see it either way. Yeah America is that afraid of black people but at the same time we just had a spree killing target them and theater shootings are back in the news. I was afraid something would happen and i wasnt remotely thinking of BLACK ON BLACK.

On every network. And that doesn't count the Discovery/History/Smithsonian specials. Second, it was a significant portion of his cerebral cortex. He felt the neck wound for about half a second before the right half of his head exploded. Its pretty easy to see even with the grainy video. He was dead when the second bullet hit (third of three total fired, first missed). InequalityGodzilla posted:That's... A shockingly coherent metaphor The best ship metaphor for Palin's political career involves Cpt Edward John Smith and Costa Concordia references. And yet it manages to be slightly less offensive than the essential omission of two decades of pop culture history and radical social acceptance shift that NBC did when they tried to say that the Straight Outta Compton movie has brought gangsta rap main stream. Of course it may have been that they marched a black guy with a doctorate in sociology to do it.

The only time I was exposed (a lot) to NWA and Straight Outta Compton was when I was a freshman at NCSU. My roommate had three cassette tapes he played (I had gotten a CD player that Christmas so I was wearing headphones and listening to other stuff as much as possible) and the weird thing is that this guy was from the mountains of NC. His three tapes that he played non-stop: NWA: SOC, Milli Vanilli (Blame it on the Rain?), and the very first Beatles crap (Love, Love Me Do, etc.) He was the whitest, most racist, joined the Army and then his girlfriend for life left him immediately dude I ever met. In fact, she talked him into leaving school to join the Army. I will never, ever be able to reconcile this experience with the rest of my life. To this day, I still think a lot of that NWA record and some Easy-E solo stuff was the most enlightening material I was exposed to in university. I'd go see this movie if I thought it had any bearing on the reality of NWA, but I doubt it so much I'll wait until some people who actually know this history weigh in and give it up or down. I am interested in it, but I don't want to just watch a weird propaganda film. Where NWA is concerned, I'd rather be educated than entertained.

I was reading about the new CNN documentary "Évocateur" about Morten Downey Jr. who, in many ways, was the godfather of the current state of RWM. The article led me to a dissertation byt a University of Virgina professor. Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Rosenwald, Brian, Department of History, University of Virginia http://libra.virginia.edu/catalog/libra-oa:9441 but it says: "This item is restricted to UVa until 2020-07-31.

Oh Mattquote:
Comments are incredible quote:My husband is active duty on subs. I don't know his opinion on this situation but he did tell me he didn't agree with women on subs because he wasn't sure a woman could pull him up the ladders through the hatch. Like if a fire broke out or something. quote:I'm a vet and army wife my vote is no. Someone is asking why above, my answer. Can a woman shoot a child no questions asked? That kid is going to blow the convoy, you have eyes on that trigger switch, is she going to be able to do it. [Quote]My husband is an infantryman in the army. I'm against women in as infantry and rangers because women are naturally not programmed like men are. Can women kick rear end? Heck yeah! But does a man have a better chance being able to carry my husband with full gear (280+ lbs) out of a combat zone? Yes! Plus, it's not healthy for women. They go on missions and will be gone for weeks at a time with no showers. My husband packs baby wipes with him. That's his shower. Women have lady parts that have to be cared for. And face it, women are emotional and hormonal. I fully support women going out and raising hell but not when it comes to our military and our troops. And please done waste our tax money and military resources to prove that you are just as tough as a man. https://www.facebook.com/MattWalshBlog/posts/1023607244339052 Mr Ice Cream Glove fucked around with this message at 13:34 on Aug 19, 2015 |

quote:Are women generally as capable of lifting up a 250 pound injured man and carrying him 300 yards to safety under heavy enemy fire? If not, again, do we think it's a good idea to put people in danger just to "break the glass ceiling?" Should the military even care at all about breaking glass ceilings -- or should they be more concerned about breaking the enemy? Well unless that ranger is 7 feet tall, he's not 250 pounds because if that were true he never would've been accepted to the school Also, they literally showed a picture of one of the women walking around with a dude over her shoulders. Holding a knife. Looking like she's thinking about other things it's such a non-issue.  Of course, the people we're talking about here are the same people who firmly believe that they would win a cage match with Rousey because she's a woman and they're men who post on Reddit/4Chan.

It's also possible they looked at that picture and literally didn't see her. Women have long hair and wear form fitting clothing after all. I have a skinny guy friend with well tended waist length hair and a beard ... that he occasionally gets mistaken for a woman from behind illustrates that some members of society are not using all the available cues to determine gender when looking at someone. His bodily proportions are pretty clearly male and he's over six foot but he still gets the occasional , "can I help you miss?" From clerks coming up behind him.

Yup. You have no idea how bafflingly dumb people can be about that sort of thing. One very important thing about fighting in general is that skill is way more important than anything else. Best sparring partner I ever had was a woman because she was way, way better at fighting than I could ever be. I found that out when she kicked my rear end pretty easily. "Women can't fight" is utter nonsense. The highest ranked sword person in the world, last I heard, is actually a woman. That's overall. Total. She's literally the best human alive at sword play.
