Mental Illness Haircut "Activists" Stage Noisy, Lunatic Walk-Out Over Proposition That Men Are Taller Than Women and That Women Gestate Babies

"Mental Illness Haircut" is a stock phrase of Diversity and Comics, who notes that any woman (or "woman") with weirdly-colored hair, usually with an asymmetrical cut (shaved on one side, for example), is trying to use aposematistic markings to warn you that their brains are poison and that they should be avoided.

It's so predictable that the first fat girl (or "girl") who walks out here, shortly after 18:08, has the predictable aposematistic hair coloration, this one with a sort of low-level radioactive green 'doo.

Worth watching.

By the way: How is it that the people who think there are 57 genders, and that a man can be born with the metaphysical certitude that he's really a girl, and yet maintain that there is no difference between men and women?

Thanks to Mis.Hum. in the sidebar. I think it's worth commenting on.

We are not. We are a Representative Democracy and a Republic supposedly based on the Rule of Law.

as the available supply has dropped over the past few years, their prices have gone up.

with a large new supply, it is reasonable to expect that prices might actually go down. if they do, your guess is as good as mine as to how much, or for how long.

now, if only they could get M-14's in stock, converted to semi-auto only, and sell those too. Hey! i can dream, right?

Speaking as an artist, it is entirely possible that a "creative" type can put it all into their art and not have to do it to their person.
Otherwise, the "look at me" screaming is a bit off-putting.

222 It was never about gender. It was always about power and control.

Amusingly, the statement that "gender is a social construct" is sort of true to the extent that gender is a grammatical construct.

Howver, people barely got a change to make that argument before the crazypants Marxist Dingleberries jumped to "sex is a social construct," which is just objectively not true, but they don't care, because its not about sex either.

It's about power and control.

Which is why Jordan Peterson's lawyer said he should "shut up and go back to his class" and not consider going up against a Social Justice Mob accusing him of crimes against humanity for not using 57 gender pronouns.

262 Greetings:

Being full-growed, I have long been burdened by my height privilege. So, Christian that I may well be, I turned what's left of my mind to the concept of "height equality" and how it should be imposed on our society. Once the ObamaCare foundation was clearly and permanently established, it became clear.

The shinbone, connected as it is to both the kneebone and the anklebone, is the key. Taking some out from the overly (meaning normally) endowed and transplanting it into the less privileged and, Voila !!!, height equality and the midgets (non-mental types) will have a much better chance at taking over and taking out their emotional victimizations on the former perpetrators.

It's just over the horizon. Progressively better days are coming .

In the liberals continuing effort to accept every delusional look for who they are, or rather, who they imagine they are in fantasyland, we have allowed crazy to be an acceptable social more.

Indeed.

I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but come on.

The aim is to praise the Almighty, and THAT's the dreck they crank out to do it?

Bach was "praise music". Clapping arrhythmically and yelling "yay Jesus" over recycled guitar hooks from the 90s doesn't seem like a fitting offering to the Transcendent.

But that's just my taste, I suppose.

Meanwhile I think Hill demand for FISA warrant info (transcripts, etc.) from DOJ is hanging there, with no response. FISC (court) has said release of all info by DOJ is fine with them.


Just speculation, but it's difficult to believe the Hill would continue with the rottweiler approach on the FISA matter this way if the IG's report were expected to provide the answers, since that report is expected soon. Or maybe I'm gaming this out wrong.

376 Infidel, something I've noticed with current students. They think if something is hard to learn that there is something wrong. They think if they have to work at it then the teacher is not doing his/her job. They are supposed to be able to succeed by attending class most of the time and half-listening while playing with their phone.

They have never mastered something through determination and persistence and hard mental work, so they don't realize sometimes that is what it takes.

Of course, I am not saying your grandson is a slacker. But I guarantee he has classmates whose attitudes may influence him to think this way.

Yeah my church started doing the "project the words" thing. The biggest problem is that nobody can read music and sing parts. and when the projector shuts off, there are no words to look at and consider, meditate on. The only thing there is to recommend it is that your voice projects and modulates better with your head up.

And what's the point of praise, to sound pretty or sing the words? This isn't a talent show. This is worship.

419 "A ton of horrible stuff was written in the late 1800s revival period, mostly by women. Its all about relationship and feelings rather than praise and God. With awful, cloying music."

I agree - a lot of the mainstream Victorian era music was just mawkish and boring. However, I ran across a book of early 19th century shaped note music, learned how to sing it a bit, and found some really surprisingly good music there in places. It always had the reputation of being backwood, uncultured music, but in fact with today's ears you can hear the strong connection to early Appalachian music, which is descended from the old Scots-Irish music of the common folk. Very fascinating, a lot of it.

432 Every day in the sixth grade, I refused to do my math homework. Got 3 whacks with a cedar paddle (think cricket bat) every day. I refused to do algebra in the ninth grade. I considered it unnatural and of the devil. Failed it. Had to take it again in the eleventh grade. The teacher gave me a 70 so I could play sports. I do not like math but could work it enough to read plans, do takeoffs, and build a house. In the tenth grade. So there's that.

Exactly. As a lad, when my parish had guitar masses and other silliness. I could never figure out what the big deal was and why could any of this be important. I left the Church for years. Then a new pastor started to say the Latin Mass again and I went back just to see it and it just hit me. It was just so powerful to me on so many levels. It finally made sense

440 I do think that the generation that lurves the whole 70s-era praise and worship stuff is fading away, and the rest of the church longs for going back to more reverential, more worshipful music. Stuff that stirs the soul rather than the emotions. Words that are about God, not me and what I'm doing or feeling. Music appropriate for worship, not romance.

That's WHY the bad grades. The smarter you are, the worse you often tend to do in school because of a lot of factors. You're smarter than the teacher, so you're seeing answers they cannot. You get bored and start slacking off, because you already picked up on what the teacher is slowly revealing to the class. You are past that class and thinking about other things, so you don't test well.

I understand each step and how you get from one to the other. Give me a fresh set of values and ask me to compute it, and I'm completely useless.

510 Oh and these "modern" churches what idiot thought that brick walls and wood paneling looks good? They look like a basement rec room from the 70s. At the suburban church I go to now all they do is sing and they're awful at it. One guy looks like Wilfred Brimley but sounds like Bert Lahr as the Cowardly Lion. Vomit inducing.

There are prettier churches in Louisville- but none as conservative. Plus the Church organ is magnificent when it is played.

Thanks but being called a NeverTRumper by a 5thAvenuer is kind funny dontcha think?

For 8 years we called Obama's fanbois sycophants who would follow him anywhere. Look in the mirror man. You're doing the exact same thing. Trump can do no wrong in your eyes. Even when he does things that had Obama done it you'd be screaming.

Protectionism is a bad idea. Scratch that. It's a fucking horrible idea. It benefits a few while harming the masses. This is econ 101 for fuck's sake.

512 Great so now we have sales tax, income tax, property tan AND the hidden tarriff tax.

So you recognize that Tariffs are not innately anti capitalistic, then? Good for you. Now look at trade discrepancies between the USA and other nations. We can take it one step at a time here if you want.

513 I detest the New Mass:
-the priest worshiping the collective and the collective worshiping him
-the awful embraces of each other, perfectly timed to distract you from any possibility of reverence toward God
- the ugly modern English (the Spanish is not as bad)
-chicks in blue jeans assisting
-the crappy music

I wish there were a Latin Mass within reach here.

We often go to a high-church Anglican church. Beautiful liturgy. Yeah, there aren't many parishioners and they're all over 60 but it's serious worship.

530 Yeah, I guess a guy who has made billions and went to Wharton for his MBA in Business and Finance really needs to be listening to a NeverTrump gray box "advisor".

His problem is reductionism. There are times when Tariffs can hurt, and he's assuming every time is those times. The US is in an extremely disadvantageous position with many major trading partners because of previous bad economic policies. There needs to be some correction and adjustment of the status of these deals, because they're pretty bad for America, American business, and American workers.

He also seems to think we have zero tariffs at this point and Trump is trying to impose them from nothing

It's not bad because Trump is for it. It's bad because protectionism is bad. There are few things economists agree on. This is one of them. Virtually every economic everywhere in the world will tell you it's a bad no good horrible economic policy.

535 " It's a sad day when supposed conservatives are cheering a move that benefits unions while hurting consumers. But then again maybe Trump is playing 162 dimensional chess or something."

We no longer can think of economics the way we did - look at what happened under Bush the younger. He was all for free trade, followed standard "good economics" and what did we get - Obama.

Now, if Dems take over again, we lose everything. We lose the 2nd amendment, the 1st amendment, everything. And that is why NOW I say - it it will help Trump get re-elected and keep Kameltoe Harris out of the White House, I'm fine if he burns the entire gawdammed American economy to the ground. Now that isn't happening, of course - but the point is that stakes are now too high. I don't give a gawdammed flying frack about pure economic theory anymore.

538 Tom Servo Any Reformed Baptist will do you fine. Hymns, Psalms, and Spiritual songs. Prayer. Scripture readings- our church does a chapter of Old Testament AND New Testament- no matter how long. Sermon 30-60 mins. Doxology. Benediction. What the Scriptures command, no more, no less. And yes, it's a Puritan worship service.

Actually probably just the opposite...

They are the type whose Parents would give into their temper tantrums...

And thus, never learned not to do them...

this is the result of Over Permissive Parenting... and not spanking your damn kid when he needs it.

541 You know that feeling, where you go to bed but wake up about an hour later with that vague burning in your guts that lets you know that you're probably going to be puking shortly? So you get up and head for the bathroom, and sit on the floor in front of the toilet, and wait for either the nausea to pass or build to a crescendo? Yup, that's where I'm at right now....
