It’s Martin Luther King Day here in the US. So here are some thoughts from the man, from an assortment of his writings, that seem to me especially appropriate today.
Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon … which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals.
Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time: the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.
Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.
Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man’s sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.
Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
Now that we’ve had this serious moment, go take a look at Yo, Is This Racist, if you haven’t already. It’s fucking hilarious.
David will ban (moderate) you for a year… but if IN THAT YEAR, you post into the moderation queue at your current rate (i.e. 4-6 hours a day, every single day), then you have proven your sincerity (and obsessiveness) and you will get a “get out of jail free” pass for the rest of your internet life!
That means you can call me all the insults and slurs you want, you can even used banned words and swears, and NOTHING you say will ever be moderated ever again, and you won’t even have to fear limiting yourself (because you’ve said in the past you have to in order to avoid being moderated).
What do you say?
I’m just curious how much trolling Manboobz means to you.
xD
Oh and NWO… do you support that bill in Tennessee right now? 😀
Seems like something you’d support.
I bet you wish you could stomp a mudhole through me too don’t you xD
Also I feel great about myself today 😀 And I bought a hoodie and a sweater I badly needed and I borrowed a ton of music from the library 😀 (you know those things you hate cuz they benefit others)
Make me feel crummy!
C’mon! 😀
Be careful, Ami, he could totally read that third post. XD
I think if he’s able to comprehend the challenge, he’d DO it.
I did an awesome consultation on Saturday too, AND got invited to be on the board of one of the agencies I consulted with (because I live in the area and they thought I would be a great fit) 😀
MY POWER IS EXPANDING NWO xD
I’m now on BOARDS of social service agencies that serve CIS STRAIGHT MEN.
(srsly if you really believe I’m a threat this would bother you, of course, you know, you don’t xD )
See, NWO, the thing is, if you really thought that feminists and trans people held the power you did, you would actually be scared of what I could do. But you live in the real world even though you like to pretend you don’t, and you know I’m not actually a threat to you as a straight cis man. xD
NWO won’t do it. He LIKES pretending he’s persecuted and oppressed with the threat of moderation looming over him. xD
Oh and could ppl be so kind and c/p that challenge to NWO whenever you see him? 😀
NWO is using MLK quotes to support his argument??
Oh and this is relevant to NWO’s beliefs:

xD
” For the last couple of generation men have tried to overcome womens use of State violence and personal violence backed by the State by peaceful means.”
Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun!
NWO, what would MLK say to me?
I’m curious since NWO has now become the MLK speech generator apparently xD
Test of Ami Challenge:
Ami’s challenge to NOW:
Making sure I got the HTML right.
Have copied and will fling dramatically to the ground in front of NWO (*imagines ringing noise of gauntlet*) because, wow, that’s an amazing challenge.
Damn autocorrect: I corrected the spelling once, but it must have done it again.
*goes grimly to fix*
NWO won’t take the challenge, he’s too much of a coward to do or agree with anything Ami says.
NWO, you know that bit about willful stupidity and ignorance? MLK was talking about guys like you.
I think “Women demand revenge for a percieved oppression in history which never happened” needs to go in the Book o’ Larnin!
Watch out… the more we’re messing with the spelling of “learning”, NWO’s book is soon gonna be named “NWO’s Book of Lenin” xD
“Hatred of men is what sells products” also need to go in the BoL. Who knew hate is what drives tampon sales?
http://ami-rants.blogspot.com/2012/01/libra-tampons-decides-who-is-real-woman.html
The funny thing is NWO COULD point to this ad that hatred sells tampons… but he won’t… because he agrees with it xD
It’s like how the AVfM ppl COULD rip Radhub for the anti-trans, anti-sex worker, anti-slut aspects in their midst… but they don’t… because they agree with them on it xD
“NWOs book of Mao” would fit better. “Let’s all bang on pot lids to make all the crows fall out of the sky and die” is a policy truly worthy of Slavey’s level of intelligence and common sense.
CassandraSays – That can’t compute in NWO brain, because we’re all supposed to LOVE soviet china!
