Low Content Open Thread Until Ace Shows Up

OK, fine, I got nothing, but here's a new thread.

Marine Le Pen, president of the National Front (FN) political party in France (which is similar to the UKIP in Great Britain) went to a meeting with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. They told her to wear a hijab. She didn't. The meeting was cancelled.

You'd think she'd be hailed as a great feminist hero by Europe's progressive gliteratti. You'd be wrong. Perhaps this pic explains why:

hjiab wearing feminists.jpg

It's funny how those fierce, fightin' feminists turn into cringing cowards whenever they're in a situation where their fierce, fightin' feminism has actual consequences.

And the only woman with the courage to stand up to the 7th century barbarians is Marine Le Pen. Who is literally Hitler.


Bonus material, because I'm a giver, here's the dumbest tweet this week:



She's getting lit up pretty good in the replies, though, so that's nice.

The voters know what's going on, their leaders aren't even pretending not to be subservient to this culture, and they keep getting voted into office.

FN is a Big-Government party, to put it mildly. And, unlike UKIP, it has a long association with "anti-Zionism" (*wink*wink*) and real racism --- not to mention anti-Americanism.

To be fair, Marine has done a very good job of distancing herself and steering the party away from the older ugliness. But still,........

204 159 Why did they not follow the Captain Pike storyline in the subsequent movies? Did that piss off the Trekkies?
Posted by: Sebastian Melmoth at February 23, 2017 12:14 PM (VeUrT)

===================

The original series?

When Nicholas Meyer got hired for Star Trek II he hadn't seen anything Star Trek, so he went through the series to see if there was something he could use in developing the movie.

The one thing that jumped out to him was Khan (may we all thank him for not skipping Space Seed). The next few movies focused on the results of that, only finally coming back to a brand new story in V, which was driven by Shatner's ego (his toupee was the copilot). VI was the send off.

By that point Pike was long gone and would have required a lot of explanation in just getting Pike there in the first place (he's crippled, scared, on a hidden quarantined planet, but it's all an illusion by these aliens who are holding him in a zoo...that's a lot).

Pike was never interesting enough to dedicate that level of effort to in a motion picture.

The Indian government has cleared a $2.5 billion deal for the countrys army to buy the Medium Range Surface to Air Defense Missile (MR-SAM) system from Israeli Aerospace Industries (IAI), another step towards the signing of the deal with the Israeli company, Indian media reported on Thursday.

The MR-SAM system, jointly developed by Indias Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in close collaboration with IAI, is a land-based configuration of the long-range surface-to-air missile (LRSAM) or Barak-8 naval air defense system.

Able to shoot down enemy aircraft at a range of 50-70 kilometers, it will help to protect India from enemy aircraft and will replace the countrys aging air defense systems.

269 There's an idiot that has been posting here named Crusader that keeps saying that Milo doesn't see himself as a vicitim. Which is, you know, bull shit. Since just about everything he had been saying about this began with "I was a victim of child abuse."

Why would you be so strident about my posts? You labelled my assertion "full of shit" in a previous thread, yet Milo has been quoted as labelling interactions he had as a teen with grown men as "coming of age" encounters, and also made statements that such encounters can be comforting to one who is finding one's sexual identity. If anything, Milo hasn't fully processed his victimhood, and words like his don't hold up well to critical scrutiny.

You can disagree all you like, but we're on the same never-Hillary side of the spectrum so I'm not sure why you feel that name-calling is in order.

288 In 1979, the late, great Oriana Fallaci interviewed the Ayatollah Khomenei, who had recently returned to power. Fallaci was a Socialist, but she was also a fierce defender of democracy and human rights..

One of terms for the interview was that Fallaci had to wear the head-to-toe chador and that she would be barefoot. During the interview, Fallaci had had enough.

Excerpt from the NYT transcript:

KHOMEINI: This is none of your business. Our customs are none of your business. If you do not like Islamic dress your are not obliged to wear it. Because Islamic dress is good and proper for young women.
FALLACI: That's very kind of you, Imam. And since you said so, I'm going to take off this stupid, medieval rag right now. There. Done. But tell me something. A woman such as I, who has always lived among men, showing her neck, her hair, her ears, who has been in war and slept in the front line in the field among soldiers, according to you, is she an immoral, bold and unproper woman?The NYT transcript is below the facsimile of the original article.LINK: http://preview.tinyurl.com/h7qbe39

Don;t waste your time with finding Lefties who are worse than Milo. Milo's only crime was being and effective opponent of the Left. He was getting through to college kids, and he was well on his way to becoming mainstream with his Maher appearance and book deal. He had to be destroyed, especially because he defied the Left's narrative that conservatives/anti-progressives are all scoldy, prude heterosexual knuckledraggers (and a lot of times, bible-thumpers).

372 personally I don't think it's wrong to wear a hajib when entering the home of an observant muslim (which I think was going on here -- I think Le Pen was going to wherever this woman was staying, in the diplomatic compound or whatever).

I don't think it says much, or is any kind of submission, to observe minor cultural habits of a guest. I've mentioned this before, but I was at a Jewish funeral or wedding or something, and some ritual requires ten men to sanctify it or something, and because they didn't have enough Jewish men, they decided to just draft me as a temporary ad-hoc Jew to be counted in the ritual. I wore a menorah and stuff. I tried to repeat the prayer (poorly) or whatever it was.

That didn't make me Jewish, and I wasn't "submitting" to the Jewish religion or denying my God (to the extent I have one) or anything. I was just going along to help some people out.

I think such things have to be read in context. I've gone to weddings in strict Catholic churches that required women's shoulders to be covered. Non-catholic and indeed non-Christian women were present, and had their shoulders covered, per the general requirement.

I wouldn't say they were bowing to the Catholic church. In context, this minor action was just being polite and observing a local tradition out of respect for those who hold that tradition sacred, not actually buying into the religion or the tradition.

377 So MPPP, I take it you're not a fan of "In the Pale Moonlight"? For me, as I've gotten older, I've noted that TNG aged verry poorly, with most episodes being meh, but the really good ones still stand up: Eg, Parts of season 3, 4, and 5. Season 6 had its high points as well: Relics is awesome. DS9 appeals to me for the same reason as Babylon 5: the characters are more relatable because they're not shiny perfect people like in TNG. Voyager fell victim to this flaw as well, IMHO, only with the main characters being a bit more hippocritical from time to time. THe series does have its bright spots: Robert Picardo was a real bright spot, very Bones-ish. Enterprise's problem is that they were on a network that didn't know what they were doing and had a creative team that didn't get their shit together until very late. Season 3 is good and so is most of season 4. Issues with continuity aside, the episode with the Borg was the first episode in a while where they felt legitimately threatening.

It never changes. Back in the 1980's there was a big kerfuffle in Alberta to do with the "Lubicon Lake Indian Band", which was a splinter group from a band that did exist, and did have reserve land, who wanted to be recognized and to take over a bunch of Crown land that was being leased and drilled for oil. They even had a paid, white, American agitator from Chicago running the show.

These clowns were based out of a little Indian town called Little Buffalo. I chanced to drive down the highway past Little Buffalo as part of a seismic crew. We were transiting the area, not working directly near there. Anyway, about a mile down the highway from the Little Buffalo access road, was the access road to the local landfill (dump). It was easy to spot, because the ditches on either side of the highway were absolutely strewn with garbage: trash bags, discarded Christmas trees, busted TV's, busted sofas, soiled mattresses, you name it.

Too lazy to drive a fucking mile to the damned dump. Wise stewards of the natural environment, my ass!

413 it also seems to me that a hijab is kind of minor. it's not a burka. women do wear scarves on their hair sometimes, for practical or aesthetic reasons, not out of religious demand.


btw it occurs to me that le Pen MUST Have been meeting this queen on the queen's grounds, because France bars any kind of clothing or symbolism of religion in public places.

that is, i don't think even the queen could wear a hijab in public. Well, maybe they'd let her slide on that, being a visiting dignitary and all. but Le Pen wouldn't be permitted to wear a hijab in public.

I did like "Relics." That was a good sendoff for Scotty and Doohan.

I forget the episode where Geordi calls up the hologram of the Enterprise designer and falls in love with her, but I liked that one; there was, to me, a wistfulness about it, that Geordi wants a woman but can only find company with an illusion. Although I know a lot of people hate that one, calling it "virtual rape."

=======================

Some fans got together a put together a court marshal for Janeway that Starfleet would have gone through when she came back.

The most frustrating thing about seasons 1-3 is that Janeway was very often wrong in her decisions, but the writers never noticed. They gave her outs when she made decisions that would have lead to very quick deaths for everyone on the ship.

Plus, the Prime Directive would be the single most important thing in one episode and then completely forgotten the next, as they violated it like Ace violates Twitter.

Forgivable IMO. For that scene to work as well as it did, the recollection of the USS Botany Bay was needed to build tension and thus a member of the old Enterprise crew was needed. I suppose they could have used Sulu, but Takei could not have nailed that scene as well as Walter Koenig did. Koenig is a much better actor.

But here, the meeting between Le Pen and the Abdul Latif Derian was at his office. It was a business meeting, a political meeting, not like an intimate social dinner in a private home or a tourist visiting a mosque.

She had told them in advance of the meeting that she would not be covering her head, and they did not object until she showed up.

The problem is not that non-Muslims in the West do not show enough sensitivity and deference to Muslim beliefs and practices. It is that we need to make clear that they should not expect to be able to require non-Muslims to submit to Islamic dictates such making women cover up or visiting violence on those who 'blaspheme' Mohamet, and that respect and tolerance has to go both ways.

Posted by: Scalia's Ghost at February 23, 2017 01:05 PM (hA1V+)

492 Again, I agree. There's nothing wrong with showing respect and politeness, even to a Muslim. Islam has some horrible people in it, but there are some decent folks too (I've met a few). But again, context matters; while the garb is religious, the context may be entirely political or a power struggle.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at February 23, 2017 01:01 PM (39g3+)


There is everything wrong with submitting to anything a muslim wants or demands. They force it to be this way.

Le Pen was right in refusing to wear the hijab. She was right because if the grand mishti of Jerusalem (who is a total piece of shit, BTW) wants to meet with her he needs to be forced to do it on her terms. More people need to treat islam and muslims like this. They don't deserve any respect because anytime you give a muslim some respect he interprets it as a sign of weakness and eventual submission.

I would have thought people had learned this by now.

'immigrant', because they must conflate those here legally and the illegals. A couple of times, they slipped up a bit and used undocumented immigrants.

'horror' because they use words like haunted to describe their feels.

But one common thread runs thru these stories of woe. Illegal aliens now have a sudden new respect for our laws, particularly those involving traffic enforcement, since getting a speeding ticket just might get them a one way ticket out of here.

So they are, get this, scrupulously obeying the law to avoid any contact with law enforcement officials.

So many stupid myths about native Americans, and all of them come from that moronic enlightenment period "noble savage" BS. The theory that civilization causes sin and crime, and we'd all be better people the closer to nature we got and the less advanced we are as a culture. All postulated by people living in cities who knew nothing about these cultures.

Indians in the Appalachian mountains were so destructive there are patches where nothing grows to this day. They'd slaughter herds of Buffalo off cliffs just to harvest a few pelts and meat. They attacked each other so viciously tribes that early settlers met disappeared off the planet by the time America was a country.

In short: they were just people, but stone age people who when met with classical music, modern medicine, higher technology, architecture, etc rejected it all and clung to living in a hide tent on the dirt.

==================

The holodeck itself, once it's past the initial "Hey! Neat!" reaction, is only good for highlighting elements of characters that we couldn't get anywhere else, but was never really used like that.

Janeway, in the beginning of Voyager, kept going back to a program where she was a governess in an old English manor. It could have highlighted the idea (which the show never pursued) that Janeway wanted to get away from command and lead a simpler life. Instead, it was just an excuse to let Mulgrew dress nicely for a day of shooting every once in a while.

First of all, we all need to stop calling them immigrants at all. if they are illegal, they are not immigrants.

They are illegal aliens.

We have become so compliant with the politically correct, that we have contorted our words to mean nothing.

The other day, the NY Post used the word "Undocumented immigrants." Even they have swallowed the hook.

Somehow "illegal aliens" became "Illegal immigrants" which became "undocumented immigrants."

This shit has to stop. They are illegal aliens.

He tells, too, of the day he was on the set, and Shatner says to him, "It's the writer! What are you writing?" Gerrold snaps back, "A new script. It's one where you lose your voice in the teaser and don't get it back until the tag."

Gerrold added, "His reply wasn't unprintable -- just deadly. There's a good reason why plowboys shouldn't draw on number-one guns."

So ... if you were at a muslim's house and they knelt and started kissing the ground in prayer would you kneel and kiss the ground along with them?

I'm not saying that would ask you to but if they did? Or would you even allow as much as to close your eyes and pretend that you were praying with them?

There are limits, and it's a question of where you think those limits are reasonably placed. With Le Pen I think she correctly understood the limits and acted appropriately. And she also understood how muslims interpret acts better than most Westerners do. Often in these sorts of cases it's not a question about what YOU think but about what THEY will think about your actions.

568 475 459 Did you know that, during filming of Undiscovered Country, Cattrall did some soft-porn shots on the bridge in her ears and makeup? Apparently Roddenberry heard about it, grabbed all the negatives and destroyed them - although, considering The Great Bird's reputation as a sleazy horndog, I wouldn't be surprised if those pics are somewhere in his archives.

Nimoy did that, not Roddenberry.

Roddenberry was on a sick bed at that point. He also hated VI when he saw it right before he died because Kirk was bigoted.

interfere in his affairs to the very least extent possible, and
preferably, 99% of the time, interfering not at all.

together without resorting to violence."

659 If they ask you to remove your shoes because you are a big-nosed devil impersonating a human and you must be made to show your submission to worthy spirits of their ancestors, then no I would not take off the shoes.

This, very much ^^^^^. I don't have a problem, say, avoiding short skirts or sleeveless tops if I'm visiting a Catholic church or a synagogue, and I don't wear bright red lipstick at a Pentecostal church (though the time's I've gone, I have worn makeup, just subtle).

But if I'm around someone who says I have to do something because I am inherently inferior and shameful and should be made to cover? Yeah, I no longer care about being courteous to their weird customs and I do not care about "offending," simply because they started it.

662 I think such things have to be read in context. I've gone to weddings in strict Catholic churches that required women's shoulders to be covered. Non-catholic and indeed non-Christian women were present, and had their shoulders covered, per the general requirement.

I don't know where those very conservative Catholic churches are, because I haven't seen any modesty rules enforced in my church since I was a young filly.

Coincidentally, this morning I was chatting with a guy who had converted from Anglican to Roman Catholic. The photos of his congregation reminded me of the Church of my childhood. I shared with him the "delightful" image of young women rolling into Sunday mass looking as if they'd just left the club: strapless dresses, stripper shoes and all. Or maybe pre-pool party, with short shorts and spaghetti strap tops.

It's nice to know there are some conservative Catholic parishes out there though. Usually it depends on who's running the show locally. I truly didn't realize there were any conservative pastors out there still active in the community. Every Catholic wedding I've been to in the past few years featured bride in mermaid gown. All considerations of modesty aside, it's dead boring seeing the same dress over and over again.

It's not the mermaid style that's my issue, just seeing it over and over again. The one kid went to a half dozen bridal salons in her search to get the perfect mermaid dress. The other kid looked spectacular, her folks really broke the bank, especially on the Louboutins. When her dad told me how much the shoes cost, I almost spit out my iced tea.

Plus the fact, getting back to original point - that I thought shoulders had to be covered during wedding ceremony. Like, they could have had a pretty shawl or bolero and then removed it at the reception. Nope. This is the new improved Beyonce-ified Cathlick church, I guess.
