James Woods wants you to know how much he really, really hates Hillary Clinton

The simple truth is that the @oreillyfactor purge was simple out and out age discrimination.

My two interpretations: 1) the women who objected to being sexually harrassed would have welcomed harrassment from a hot man nearer to their own ages, therefore ageism, or 2) older men cannot help but sexually harrass colleagues. Neither looks good.

There’s a reason why he’s always cast in the slimeball creep roles.

On the flip side, a lot of the “logical” anti-fems are now flipping out that Bill Nye did an episode supporting a “there’s more than just two” view of gender.

Oh, thank you IP. I was about to say the same thing, prefaced by “Squee! Otherwise huge fan, but…”

I think Woods best movie was Salvador. Yeah, his misogyny is legendary. Sigh. By the way, I hope your migraine is better.

quite off topic, white supremacist monuments in New Orleans are coming down

and a republican candidate for Virginia governor thinks (I use the word loosely) they should stay up….

“Republicans… missing the point since 1932”

What is wrong with what he has said?
Susan Rice should be arrested….Not just for her hand in the illegal leaking and monitoring, but also for her previous lies even during congress.

As for pizzagate….In my opinion if you are educated enough on the topic it is hard not to believe it. Not only is there a ton of evidence that at the very least demands an investigation, but it also shows all the signs of a scandal that is true (MSM silence, MSM lying about the evidence, MSM character assassinating those looking into it, MSM deleting and censoring comments relating to it).

You guys needs to take of your political goggles for a second, and realise that this is not about party politics…Mainly because politics as we know it is a con.

Ugh. Even Hades would think he needs to cool off.

@Weird Eddie, thank you for the links. I’m glad those statues are coming down, and I’m glad they’re going to display them with appropriate context in a museum somewhere, rather than just trying to pretend they never existed.

This is a quote from your first link, on the subject of the removal of the Battle of Liberty Place monument.

“This should be a celebration but instead this is done clandestinely. They got the workers who are taking it down dressed in black jackets, helmets and their faces are covered, to us that’s cowardice,” one person there told CNN affiliate WVUE-TV.

I’m really annoyed that this person feels it’s not enough of a symbol unless workers are forced to risk their lives even more than they already are. It is not cowardice to take steps to try and reduce the likelihood that you will be murdered just for doing your job.

The mst3k reboot is magical! 🙂

@JS

I say, yes, we do want to rewrite history in some ways. We don’t need “heroes” who were in favor of slavery as a way of life to be honored with big statues

well said

This is very off topic, i was waiting for David to make Open Thred for Personal stuff, but it has been bothering me and i just need some advice or something.

I was going to share on my twitter but i have friends and family there and got concern that maybe if they knew they wouldn’t want to be near me, that they would think maybe cannot trust me, or i am unpredictable.

But it is bothering me a lot, specially since now i am back at work and tired all the time which makes it worse.

This is a bit embarrassing but also even more makes me feel like i am evil. I need some advice though and here i am mainly anonymous so i thought here i can share.

Anyway, i hope this is the right word, but since i was able to remember i have “compulsions”. Like thoughts that make me/tell me to do something or say something. Specifically will be the worst thing i can do in a situation. Usually, or before recently, something like touching a person when they are speaking to me – tough their face or inappropriately touch, or say an insult or something very strange.

Before was just general stuff, all upsetting, bad or maybe embarrassing/strange commands but for all people, the same. But then recently when i learn more about racisim, sexism, homophobic and transphibic my compulsion tells me to do or say more horrible things.

I feel very bad already about this compulsion, but recently one that makes me worried a lot is when i learn that black people experience that white people or non black PoC touch their hair without asking. This is obviously because of racist fasciation and disrespect for black peoples owning their own bodies and personal space – basically because of white supremicy. I know this. I read a lot now about many things, especially since in my home country it is mostly white, so it was important for me to learn about this. But because now i know, my compulsion likes to tell me to do worst things for that situation, this is now one that comes in my mind. Not because i want to touch, part of my compulsion is touching other people full stop, because i know this is very inappropriate. But now i feel not only crazy like i have since the begining, but also racist and disgusting.

I do not usually act on the compulsion, but it is also not a symptoms of anxiety . I think some people might say, yes you think these things because you are anxious, you are afraid of doing the very worst thing but you wont really. It is anxiety symptoms. But i have done in the past, thankfully not touching other people but saying things, usually not rude but strange. Things my brain says will be embarrassing to me. For recent example, during medical course i took before i came out to work, the instructior was asking questions. Specifically how someone might contract worms. My compulsion gave to me the desire to say something stupid and I couldn’t stop myself. I said something like ‘you must lick a cat/if you lick a cat’. This wasnt a s a joke or to give me pleasure. I was extremely embarrassed and ashamed and would have chosen not to say anything if i could.

I am afraid if i let myself continue i will do something stupid but i am also afraid to tell my friends and relatives because i have friends who are PoC, non binary etc, and i do not want them to think i cannot be trusted. But really i dont know if i CAN be trusted. I dont take medication or go go therapist, but i am not sure what to do. Because in high pressure situations my compulsion can also tell me to do something dangerous, not just inappropriate rude or racist.

Did anyone have a similar experience to this? Also sorry for ruining this thread. This bloke souds like a fuck-face.

Some people in this country are still fighting the Civil War, “War For Southern Independence”, or “The War of Northern Aggression” as they may prefer it to be called. Many of them are well armed. They also have cameras and long memories (still remembering 1864, etc). Hence the snipers, tac-vests, masks, etc.

I believe, if you discount 9/11, that more people have been killed in the US by domestic (race-haters and) terrorists than foreign/recent immigrant ones.
