impeachdubya's Journal - Democratic Underground http://www.democraticunderground.com http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Tue, 21 May 2013 04:43:42 Tue, 21 May 2013 04:43:42 Half the people I've seen complaining about DU3 are ones who like to put "free speech" in quotes with lots of eye-rolly, heavy sighing and general grousing and moaning about it when it suits them, as in when the speech is of a particular variety that gets their knickers in an endless series of twists.

Like this:

[i]Sigh... [b]"so-called free speech", "so-called free speech concerns"[/i] ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/impeachdubya/93 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 22:25:19 because so-called 'jokes' perpetuate a patriarchal male gaze herteronormative paradigm of oppression which has been scientificificinally provenated by assorted well-funded quasi-scientific researchers -who only happen to have ties to the religious right but we're not talking about that now so please dont divert from the topic of patriarchal male gaze heteronormative gender harmfulness- to harm vuln... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/impeachdubya/92 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 17:13:17 Bambi advocated an anti-gun, animal rights agenda.... "A Christmas Carol" portrayed hard-working, entrepreneurial job creators as heartless misers, and glorified teat-suckling dependents like Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim.

Snow White and the 7 dwarves promoted interracial, non-traditional lifestyles, as well as polyandrous relationships.

Like I said, [b]back up your assertions.[/b] Because they're exactly the same sort of crap an anti-choice jesus freak would try to spout unchallenged, with broad generalizations and scientific-sounding but ultimately meaningless -or blatantly false- gibberish about how such and such is 'proven to be... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/impeachdubya/90 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:11:11 why don't you show me the concrete evidence of widespread non-consent or non-adults in commercially available porn.

You can't, because it's not there. In short, you got nothin'.

Do you know what a 2257 statement is? If you actually look at the porn that is out there, instead of hearing about it 3rd hand from Robert Jensen or Catherine MacKinnon, you will see something about docu... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/impeachdubya/89 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 16:40:34 No, we don't exist in a vacuum. But consenting adults fucking in front of cameras doesn't cause teen bullying and suicide.

I think VALUES are important: namely, values like compassion, kindness, understanding, and also TOLERANCE and FREEDOM.

I've had all sorts of crap and name-calling thrown at my head in this thread simply because I have consistently, repeatedly, stood up... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/impeachdubya/88 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 19:36:22 Okay. Give a definition of non-degrading porn: Two people having sex. in front of a camera.

That's as simple as I can put it, and believe it or not, I think that MOST "porn" (I put it in quotes, again, because a solid definition of what is 'porn' seems elusive in the first place) is 2 people having sex in various ways. I think "sex positive" is sort of a nonsense t... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/impeachdubya/87 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 06:46:58 Yeah, but the guy in the dorm room next to mine, who has the big che poster told me that the whole capitalist system needs to be dismantled, man, and instead of arguing about bourgeois concerns like a livable wage or single payer health care or sensible regulations on speculative trading and 'creative financial instruments', we REALLY need to TEAR THE MOTHERFUCKER DOWN, MAN... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/impeachdubya/86 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 19:29:52 Hey, we get to issue lists of demands, now? Cool. Here's mine. 1) Single payer health care.

2) End the drug war. Legalize, regulate & tax marijuana.

3) 50% reduction in the military budget.

4) Restore the Bill of Rights, esp. Amendments 1 & 4.

5) reinstate Glass-Steagal.

6) tax upper income earners and corporations at a higher rate.

7) liveabl... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/impeachdubya/85 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 16:59:57 Because she's a moron, speaking to other morons. That bus she rode around the country on? I'm willing to bet it was built by a corporation. This gibberish about "corporatism" is just utter fucking nonsense. Yes, let's tax the corporations, yes let's not give them personhood, but this idea that somehow they're coming to get us unless we all grab pi... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/impeachdubya/84 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 17:12:05 Yeah, I have. And you're spouting the same tired bullshit other people have tried to float. Atheism is not a "religion". A belief system is not a "religion". A lack of belief is not the same thing as a belief. A way of looking at the world is not a "religion". The scientific method is not a "religion".

For a whole bunch of reasons. Starting with the fact that the majority of the Vietnamese people supported unification and Ho Chi Minh, and would have voted for such had the elections they had been promised been allowed to go forward by the French (and, by extension, the Eisenhower Administration)

They also enter their ideas into things like scientific debates, then engage in a lot of 'special pleading' for their ideas, like the idea that "God made everything" is so intrinsically truth-containing that it, unlike other assertions made in a [i]scientific[/i] context or debate, doesn't need actu... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/impeachdubya/80 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 15:29:29 In the GYM?? The GYM?? GOOD GOD MAN, My Kids ate girl scout cookies off those elliptical machines! Can you imagine if Tip O'Neill was still alive, and he heard that someone took pictures of his PENIS! and put them on the INTERNET! and those pictures were taken in the Congressional Gym, not 10 feet from where he and Henry Hyde used to exercycle together?????!!!!!!???

My underwear is a spectral antenna which allows me contact with the Divine, and his only begotten son and earthly prophet, Carrot Top.

People can believe whatever they want. They can't demand no one make fun of it. Especially when it's bald-faced fucking ludicrous.

Being concerned about the ongoing clusterfuck at Fukushima does not prevent one from being compassionate about the human toll- the serious, ongoing, heartbreaking human toll- that has occurred due to the Earthquake and Tsunami.

But please, spare me the concern about this being a 'distraction'. I... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/impeachdubya/72 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 20:44:02 What do I do, you ask? Why, I check my calendar. I see it's April.

Seeing as we NEVER redesign currency or even alter text (i.e. the year) on our money designs, it just would completely upend our entire financial as well as social structure if the words "In God We Trust" were taken off our $.

Why, without the express admonition that our governme... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/impeachdubya/71 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 19:16:16 Here's how I envision the conversation: GOP Leaders: "We want to give you guys exactly what you want"[font size=1]*[/font]

Tea Party Activists: "Narrrgle Fraggle Mush Mush Fush!!!"

Here's the so-called "logic" (in italics), with the reality:

They had a fish tank with this big, ugly-ass fish in it- an "oscar", they called it.
