Reporting for duty. I wrote my dissertation about women who chose Christian and Jewish fundamentalist religious groups after growing up in liberal ones. Strapping in for this weird ride.

Oh poo poo, hope we get to read it at some point.

Oh that's funny. For some reason I thought everyone knew that and that's why I'm always saying things about right wing theology? It could just be my dreams/imagination more than actual posts though, I have a lot going on right now. Some parts of my diss are published; I'll see what I can dig up for you guys.

Since this thread is in the post-Malheur era (and since I skipped most of the old thread anyway), what was the general freep response and discussion like about the Bundy clan's awkward public insurr-edging session?

Are you only interested in Freepers? You can join us in the Bundy specific thread if it's your jam.

As a high school educator, as well as a college instructor, I intentionally mispronounce names, especially if they are way to silly, and you know the ones. They get all pd off, and then I ask them to pronounce my ultra nordic last name, end of argument, but a lot of ha ha ha for me.

Sorry for double post, but another krug quote:

quote:


As an educator, a teacher of physical science in high school, I always, always, say off the cuff statements such as; “the myth of global warming”, “the scientifically unproven manmade climate change”, etc. Or...whenever we have a very cold day I”ll state how this must be the result of climate change. I will not teach anything related to this unproven yet accepted as fact climate change liberalism, but through my sarcasm, I believe most of my students are being educated that global warming is a hoax.

I've been avoiding this thread lately but I saw this in USPol. Dalereed may have been a hate elemental but he was a succinct, honest hate elemental and that's kind of refreshing compared to what passes for rational dialogue at Freep these days.

Let the record now show that I have eulogized a Freeper.

I suspect you are right about WENDLE, but I'm working on a project to distinguish different styles of writing anyhow. One of us scripted something that queried FreeRepublic.com a while back, right? Does anyone remember that and how I would find that script? I think it was to check the zott rate.

Which "th" sound? Like in "theory" or "there?" Related question - how to make IPA go on SA? Hmmm.

quote:


One of the first things to go will be the “th” sound, which will be replaced with “f”, “v” or “d”, so “mother” could become “muvver” and “think” will evolve into “fink"

These aren't even the same sounds. It's like they are arguing... Disingenuously.

As a foreigner who's visited the UK quite a few times, the most times I've heard words like 'muvver' and 'fink' came from white people. Are the foreigners in this case the Saxons?

Yeah, I think it's just natural language change, which is associated with race and class. Prescriptivists will frequently flip out about this sort of thing.

The New York Times just released Trump's 1995 income taxes, showing almost a billion in loss, meaning he would not have paid federal income taxes for 18 years. At 9pm on Saturday night. While he was melting down at a rally. Trump thread is flying with Saturday night party goons.

Edit: he also said Clinton probably cheated on her husband.

So the one small glimmer of truth in that poo poo pile of material is that the definition of PTSD did change while Obama was in office. We went from DSM IV to V in 2013. That decision was made by the various DSM committees: https://www.psychiatry.org/psychiatrists/practice/dsm

Hey, that's my hometown! I'm trying to pull up some info on noted poo poo-heel Vernon Robinson (The Winston Salem Journal called him "the black Jesse Helms"). I remember him from a pro-troops rally in the late 90's, and apparently he's at least partially responsible for bringing Ben Carson to the national spotlight :negative: He's a former city councilman of Winston-Salem.

I usually live in DC but am staying in Greensboro with my partner at the moment. What's up, NC buddies?

Yeah, many children's stories involve absent parents. There are a few theories about that, one being that children in stories get up to big adventures that real world children would not be allowed. So to explain the lack of supervision, the parents are missing or they run away. Tale as old as time.
