Guest October 11, 2019 (edited) **Feel free to add to this thread with any crazy or funny stories you find** https://www.zerohedge.com/political/what-week-france-forces-facials-scotland-scotches-spankings It’s “violence” to mispronounce someone’s name Let me ask you a question– how do you pronounce the name “Shea” ? My gut would be “Shay”. Or perhaps “Shay-uh”. Well, for at least one person, a Ms. Shea Diamond, the name is pronounced “Shee-uh”. Easy mistake to make. But when CNN reporter Nia-Malika Henderson invited Ms. Diamond to the microphone last night during the LGBTQ town hall meeting, Ms. Henderson mispronounced Diamond’s name as “Shay”. Most people would shrug it off, or nonchalantly state the correct pronunciation. No biggie. But Shea Diamond, who is trans, took the microphone and immediately started preaching… telling the world that “It’s violence to misgender or to alter the name of a trans person. . .” Seriously, lady, be whoever or whatever you want to be. No one cares. But the hypersensitivity is really astonishing. Acting like you’ve been violently assaulted simply because someone mispronounced your name? It’s as if you’re desperate to think of yourself as a victim. Perhaps even more astonishing, though, is that there was not a word of dissent from anyone at the town hall event… not a single person reacting with a “are you f**king kidding me??” And naturally, Presidential candidate Julian Castro stood there nodding his head in agreement like a mindless stooge. Click here for the full story. Rugby officials quit the game to avoid being labeled transphobes Across the water in sunny England, rugby referees are quitting their jobs because they can’t voice legitimate concerns about the game. Under England’s Rugby rules, trans women (who are biological males) are allowed to play in all-female rugby leagues against biological females. The advantage that trans athletes have is pretty obvious, especially in a game like rugby that’s already so physical. Trans athletes are breaking bones of other players who don’t have the same biological advantages, and a lot of referees are starting to have a big problem with this. But they’re not even allowed to bring it up. “If you even ask the question [whether biological males should be able to play Rugby against biological females],” one referee told the Times of London, “you’re told you are a bigot.” Again, the hypersensitivity is so extreme that wanting to have a conversation about biology in order to protect the safety of other players makes you a transphobe. One ref who quit told the newspaper (anonymously so he wouldn’t face retaliation) that he felt “forced to prioritize hurt feelings over broken bones…” Click here for the full story. China to require facial recognition to access internet In order to sign up for Internet or phone service, China will now require its citizens to be verified by facial recognition. Internet and cell phone companies will be required to compare customers ID cards against a facial recognition database, to be sure they match. This will go a long way in helping the Chinese government track people and their online behavior. Anonymity online is becoming almost impossible. Click here for the full story. France to roll-out mandatory facial recognition Communist China isn’t the only country building an intrusive surveillance state. France wants in on the action too. The French government is about to require its citizens sign up for a facial recognition ID to receive social security, file their taxes, and access the banking system. The government promises it won’t use the facial ID to track people in public. And I’m sure that’s a promise they will never ever violate ever until the end of time. France’s government is going to put all of your biometric data in a centralized database, one that they’ve assured people is highly secure. Nevermind that a different “highly secure” centralized government database was hacked in barely an hour by a penetration specialist who was testing for vulnerabilities. Click here for the full story Scotland Outlaws Spanking I’ll be honest… I got spanked several times when I was a kid. It wasn’t a regular thing, but when I was out of line, it happened. Yet somehow I managed to make it to age 40 as a (reasonably) well-adjusted adult. Culture today is obviously different; it’s grown so soft that we have to treat everyone like delicate little flowers– especially children. And Scotland’s government just took things a step further this week by criminalizing spanking, joining more than 50 other countries that have done the same. We’re not talking about violence or abuse. This is about parents being able to decide for themselves how they want to discipline their own children. Honestly, these days I think that taking a kid’s mobile phone or Internet access away is far worse punishment than anything else. But sending someone to jail for a spanking seems a bit extreme. Ironically, the phrase “slap on the wrist” used to refer to someone who committed a major crime but only received a very light punishment, as in “Actress Felicity Huffman received a slap on the wrist after pleading guilty in the recent SAT scandal.” But now a slap on the wrist can literally lead to jail time. Click here for the full story. - - - - - - - - - - Day Trader addition - in fairness, this last one is a weird one. I was spanked / belted too, didn't do me any harm. . . Did you hear that..? I didn't feel it was fair to the article to omit this section though. However I do find it odd that if you hit a guy you can be done for assault but it's perfectly legal to hit children, as long as they're your own. And you could argue it teaches them that violence solves problems. That's all I'll say about this. I'm sure people will disagree. All good. But I agree obviously about the 'times are changing' bit.

Douglas Buckland + 6,308 October 12, 2019 I better go grab the first coffee of the day to wash that down... If I got a dime for every time I got the paddle, the belt, or the switch (don’t forget the switch!) I probably wouldn’t have had to spend all that time in university! And we wonder why kids (and millennials) are so screwed up these days... ’Spare the rod, spoil the child’. I think that you should be allowed to taser kids these days. Yours and others! 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest October 12, 2019 (edited) Well violence can be a punch, paddle, belt or mispronounciation apparently. Edited October 12, 2019 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Douglas Buckland + 6,308 October 12, 2019 Here in Malaysia, EVERY time I go to Starbucks (I’m riding my motorcycle and am at a Starbucks at Genting Highlands as we speak...), and the kid writes my name on the cup....it is ‘Doughlas’ (must be a Bahasa Malayu thing). You cannot imagine the ire, anger, rage and shame I experience each and every time this occurs! I was considering going ‘postal’ about it, but then I remembered that by Malaysian law it is illegal to own a firearm, any component of a firearm or any ammunition whatsoever....makes it difficult to do that postal thing! 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest October 12, 2019 (edited) My name is Kristian (how's that for irony? ) , but no one calls me that. When people spell it Christian or assume Kris is short for Christopher it's pretty annoying. Dunno about anger and rage.but my cup would be Chris. Whereas you're there tasering the kid hahaha. Edited October 12, 2019 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Kramer + 696 R October 12, 2019 It's a crazy world. My cousin told me a story where a guy dresses up as a woman walks into a planned parenthood and acts like a trans who is pregnant to see the outcome.... they pretend along so there not sued for hate crimes even tho if a Male tests pregnant on a pee stick he likely has testicular cancer. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marcin + 519 MS October 12, 2019 2 things about this transgender madness: a/ mass media propaganda influence, we are all brainwashed. Media have interest because freaks always sold well, it is a woman with a beard from a circus 100 years ago, it is transgender person today b/ It is a good diversion from real problems. In Poland whenever things do not go well for any party that is at power at the moment we have always the same set of distraction topics: rights of sexual minorities (mainly homosexual men), abortion, migrants that eat our lunch, fraud scandals in opposition parties (discovered earlier but kept silent until best moment), why Germans are so bad/WW2 reparations from Germany, Jews are ruling Poland and opposition/government politicians are Jews (there are 5000 Jews in Poland, but somehow they are ruling), why EU is so bad and destroys our Polish culture, accusing prominent politician that he was in secret police of communist Poland (this secret police was dissolved 31 years ago so it is more and more difficult to find anybody that was adult then). Total absurd but always work. I think it is the same everywhere, some topics different. Surveillance Total surveillance of population exists in the United States or Britain for years, hundred thousand+ of face recognition cameras in London. The same China or France. They are not interested (in US) if you occasionally buy marijuana from your bum neighbour, enjoy exotic dancers or bribe police. Focused on anti-terror, extreme politicians, spying on foreigners and industrial espionage etc. It does not matter if it is good or bad, it is inevitable, no country will voluntarily resign from this tool. For me real absurd here at oilprice is that when you present any facts or opinions with arguments, on sensitive topics many persons think that this is your personal opinion and attack, do not analyze arguments. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gender Studies Professor Blames Trump For Black Female Obesity During a television appearance, a New Jersey gender studies professor claimed that Donald Trump’s policies were to blame for black female obesity. “I hate when people talk about Black women being obese. I hate it, because it becomes a way to blame us for a set of conditions that we didn’t create,” said Brittney Cooper during a discussion on ‘Black Women OWN the Conversation’, which is broadcast on the Oprah Winfrey Network. YES ITS SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT YOU SHOVE CAKE IN YOUR MOUTH ALL DAY “We are living in the Trump era,” the professor added. “And look, those policies kill our people. You can’t get access to good health care, good insurance.” Presumably, she believes there were no black obese women before Trump was elected. Cooper then went on to assert that it’s harder for black women to lose weight than white women because they are more stressed about racism and it slows down their metabolism.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA https://www.zerohedge.com/health/watch-gender-studies-professor-blames-trump-black-female-obesity Typical demcrat, stand around and point fingers at everyone. Can't accept responsibility for their own actions/failings. And obviously there were NO fat black women around before Trump became POTUS, except there were. I remember about ten years ago standing in Walmart one evening checking out and I almost died laughing. This HUGE black woman was standing about 40 feet away, and all of a sudden she moved to her left and a shopping cart appeared, her butt was SO HUGE I couldn't see any of the cart she was standing in front of. My next question was, how the hell did she get here? No way she fit in any passenger car with that fat azz, did they load her up in the back of a pickup to get her there, pretty sure she didn't walk there, pretty sure she couldn't walk there......and that cart was sitting sideways, not head on. Wider than the length of a shopping cart!! Edited October 16, 2019 by SERWIN 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
