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:
Bonus material, because I'm a giver, here's the dumbest tweet this week:
There is no equivalent of Milo on the left because we hold ourselves to higher standards. Our Milo wannabes get ostracized pretty quickly.
— Brianna Wu (@Spacekatgal) February 22, 2017
She's getting lit up pretty good in the replies, though, so that's nice.

I finished my long trek through Star Trek last week.
I've always preferred TOS, even though, to be frank, most of the episodes after the first season are garbage (my faves are The Enterprise Incident and The Tholian Web, so take my opinion as you will). TNG had no appeal for me beyond Marina Sirtis' breasts, DS9 was nothing but darkness and angst and the less said about Voyager and Enterprise, the better.

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,........

My fear is he's right. Remember right after it passed, it was "Repeal!!" then only after a few months, as mid term elections where coming up it turned into "Repeal!....and, um, replace." Wait, what?
Republicans didn't want government out of healthcare, they just wanted "Their kind" of government healthcare.

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.

If repealed, the insurance companies would still be free to sell any policies they want including those currently under obamacare, so there is no need to replace.

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.

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.

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

Ryan says she disliked her so much that she made things very uncomfortable for her on set. So much so that she would get physically ill if she had a scene with Mulgrew.
Ryan attributed it to Mulgrew being the focus of voyager for 3 years and then they bring in '7 of 9' who was then the new focus of the show.
This was from an interview Ryan gave about 4 years ago...and she never named Mulgrew but it was clear who she was talking about.

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).

I would think that anyone who considers the constitution "flexible" to the point of inventing new things and adding stuff to it by judicial fiat is disqualified by definition.
It doesn't matter what the constitution requires of judges, it matters what judges are required to do in their job. The constitution says nothing about sane or having a brain in the presidency, but clearly we don't want a vegetable in the job.

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.

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!

That said, in her place, she's not just a visitor, and this isn't just dropping by to a home. It was a media event, she represents her party, and in this case it would have been submission to this man's demands and a cultural thing.
In any case: you're right about free speech. Private organizations are free to invite or shun people as they wish but as a society we should embrace freedom of speech of everyone, not just the people we like.

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.

these kind of semantic distinctions always leave me cold. These are just assertions, no explanation provided why one pracitcie is RELIGIOUS and the other POLITICAL, and also no explanation as to why this claimed distinction is determinative.
People love this form of assertion of binary semantic distinction -- It's FACT, not OPINION; as O'Reilly says, this isn't about RELIGION, it's about JUDEO-CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHY, etc.
people are good at making up these ad-hoc semantic distinctions to explain why they get to do a thing they want to do do and other people don't get to do that thing they want to do.

It was my understanding that it was Roddenberry who said "no" to Saavik being a traitor, as she'd become part of the Trek family. I did know that Paramout wanted Cattrall originally for Saavik.
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.
Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at February 23, 2017 01:01 PM (X6fMO)
Sure, sure. Or its just sloppy writing. Which do you think is more likely?"
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. The other big names (Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty) would not have worked.

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).

Non-catholic and indeed non-Christian women were present, and had their
shoulders covered, per the general requirement.

Modesty restrictions during religious rites are one thing, wearing religious garb in living quarters or in a public building is something else.
Fallaci's point in the NYT interview was to shame Khomeini for his contradiction, that he doesn't care what she wears, but, oh yes, he really, really cares about his absolute power over the people of Iran and the people interviewing him.

Any sane captain would have destroyed the thing the first time it tried to take over the ship.
But the writers needed it because it let them do "nazi world" and "gangster world" type shows without being as ludicrous as the original series ones.

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.

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.

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.

I think it's in one of David Gerrold's 1973 books on Trek, either his recounting of how "Trouble with Tribbles" came to be written and filmed, or his analysis of the Star Trek universe and how the writers sometimes missed the trolley when it came to writing good SF.
Considering the tone of the Gene L. Coon story, I think it's in the Tribbles book.

Nope. I think it's common courtesy to follow the "customs of the house" when you are visiting someone.
I have Amish neighbors down the road. If I visit them, I make sure I'm not wearing shorts and a tank top.
And I don't walk into a vegan, PETA-nut's house while nibbling on a drumstick --- although God knows I'm tempted to.

We need to undo the political correctness of border security.
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."

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.

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.

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.

The concern is reasonable. He said that, if accurate, it would mean France or Russia had a reactor issue and didn't tell anyone (which is also entirely possible).

Went to a work lunch once where a guy insisted I join him in saying grace.
Here's the deal ... you ain't gonna' MAKE me do much of anything. Dude made a big deal about it ... so I called his indignation and raised him an I Don't Give A Damn.
Lots of people love to use "religion" and "custom" as another means of control. Screw. That.

I've always preferred TOS, even though, to be frank, most of the episodes after the first season are garbage (my faves are The Enterprise Incident and The Tholian Web, so take my opinion as you will). TNG had no appeal for me beyond Marina Sirtis' breasts, DS9 was nothing but darkness and angst and the less said about Voyager and Enterprise, the better.
Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at February 23, 2017 11:57 AM (X6fMO) "
Voyager had 7 of 9. That alone is redeeming.
And Enterprise had the shower/decontamination scene. Mmm, I'm still waiting for the unrated director's cut for that one.

The story, which comes from a very skeevy-looking site, talks about "multiple plumes". If there really were radiation plumes, they would be dead easy to track back to the source. What they really have is widely scattered instances of I-131 occurrences, barely above the detection limit.

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.
