I am a little technically stupid, so I'm not sure how to tell/what to check regarding proxy usage. Is this something I can bypass, or is that not to be discussed?

It will be interesting to see the decision made by the moderators on this one.

It appears that Fred Paulson's complaint got disappeared and the shares are still going strong.
As a result, it seems TPC's mods are going to let this poo poo happen until someone kills the person whose dox were dropped.
Then again, given that the text under the "View More" button states that the victim has lots of valuables and no weapons, that's probably the general idea.

Basically, "Everyone has a right to their religion, but only I can impose my beliefs on people, they can't. If they do they get 1000 years dungeon.

I also like how simultaneously Democrats want to keep kids fat so they'll vote Democratic, and yet Michele Obama runs her fascistic fitness programs aimed at kids.

Don't you know, it's all an elaborate propaganda ruse to ensure our votes. We talk about it in the FYAD thread

More antidote to all the religious hate from the TPC site, because Quakers are rad folk.

Here's a Quaker and Muslim hanging out. It's worth noting that there are many examples of the tolerant & loving equivalent of Quakers in Islam as well. (Not to mention the many other branches of tolerant and loving Christianity.)



Being an atheist, I consider people like these to be my staunch allies. Debates about religious belief with them are good-natured no matter if we disagree, since we fundamentally agree on equality, freedom, and tolerance.

If all religious people were nice as these folk, a lot of the world's problems would vanish overnight.

To this day, though, it blows my mind that Richard Nixon was a Quaker.

quote:

President Nixon: What's your evaluation of Reagan after meeting him several times now.

Kissinger: Well, I think he's a--actually I think he's a pretty decent guy.

President Nixon: Oh, decent, no question, but his brains

Kissinger: Well, his brains, are negligible. I--

President Nixon: He's really pretty shallow, Henry.

Kissinger: He's shallow. He's got no...he's an actor. He--When he gets a line he does it very well. He said, "Hell, people are remembered not for what they do, but for what they say. Can't you find a few good lines?" [Chuckles.] That's really an actor's approach to foreign policy--to substantive....

President Nixon: I've said a lot of good things, too, you know drat well.

Kissinger: Well, that too.

(snip)

President Nixon: Back to Reagan though. It shows you how a man of limited mental capacity simply doesn't know what the Christ is going on in the foreign area. He's got to know that on defense--doesn't he know these battles we fight and fight and fight? Goddamn it, Henry, we've been at--

Kissinger: And I told him--he said, "Why don't you fire the bureaucracy?" I said, "Because there are only so many battles we can fight. We take on the bureaucracy now, they're going to leak us to death. Name me one thing that we have done that the bureaucracy made us do."

President Nixon: The bureaucracy has had nothing to do with anything.

Kissinger: No, no. They've made our lives harder. They've driven us crazy. But that doesn't affect him.

Spacedad posted:

One of his few redeeming qualities. Another one being that he was intelligent and learned. If he wasn't a paranoid youth-hating racist asswipe, he might've been an awesome president.

Nixon thought Reagan was a "dumb son of a bitch." (He was right.)


It's nice to see the guts of republican cynicism exposed as it truly is - ironically I think the Nixon tapes are probably Nixon's most valuable contribution to humanity.

Xelkelvos posted:

I assume that means some conservatives consider Nixon a RINO (along with all other republicans and conservatives they don't like)?

You'd be surprised - a lot of conservatives love him still to this day. The tea party also is just an extension of Nixon paranoia.

Edit: Also, this.

How old do you think Michelle Obama is, exactly? Carla Bruni is like 45. Not that I'm trying to defend that bullshit or anything.

The TPCer's I've seen have said Nixon was practically a Democrat for getting us totally off the gold standard, implementing the EPA and other assorted things.

Nixon, the rabid anti-communist sexist anti-semite homophobe paranoid jingoistic rear end in a top hat racist who pandered to racists in the south in order to win , is too leftwing and RINO-y for the Tea Party. Let that sink in.

So notorious TPC user Bobby Shahan said that Sen. Feinstein "oughta catch a frag". Is this worth reporting? In fact, what exactly is worth reporting because I see a lot of poo poo on TPC that is violent. Does it have to be explicit threats towards the president or plans to militarize? Or just anything violent towards public officials?

Yeah, uh, you realize bigotry towards a woman for choosing to wear hijab is functionally no better than bigotry towards a woman who won't wear it, right?

And they're no more sexist than bikini tops. Which isn't to say bikini tops aren't sexist; they are. The taboo for a woman to expose her chest absolutely does not exist for men in the same situations.

thehumandignity posted:

I wholeheartedly encourage "bigotry" towards men who believe that women not wearing hijab are sinful temptresses and will burn in hell. Not really sure what your issue is.
