In the words of the late, great WWF wrestler and commentator, Gorilla Monsoon, (to these idiots with too much time on their hands) "will you stop?!" Doping and bridge, well I almost lost my left hand to infection after cutting the pinky side open in 2003 and for pain I was prescribed percoset, an opioid. Didn'e need it for my hand but caught a bad cold soon after I was released from hospital, I coughed so hard, I pulled a rib or two and was painful. I took percoset and 2 minutes later, I keeled over on my bed while playing Playstation. I woke up with the control in my hands laying on my back and my cat laying on my legs.

Valin Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Iran Appointed to U.N. Women’s Rights Committee Adam Kredo March 13, 2019 3:35 pm Iran, one of the top human rights abusers in the world, has been awarded a seat on a key United Nations committee that oversees complaints about the global abuse of women. An announcement by the U.N. on Wednesday said that Iran and Nigeria, another country that is no stranger to human rights abuses, would be promoted to the international organization’s Committee on the Status of Women, which oversees abuses committed by oppressive states, such as Iran and Nigeria. Foreign policy observers on Twitter were quick to condemn the decision and bemoaning the U.S. taxpayer dollars that are used to fund such committees.

Valin Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Parents caught up in the college admissions scandal are hiring a consultant to see if they're 'cut out for prison' Apr. 3 2019 Parents who have been charged in the college admissions scandal are speaking with a prison consultant to learn more bout incarceration. Justin Paperny, a former stock broker who was incarcerated for fraud, told CBS News that he's in talks with several parents accused of paying bribes up to $6.5 million to get their children into top universities. Paperny said he has been hired by one parent and speaking with several others, but he has not revealed which parents he is in contact with. "They're scared and it's 'Can I survive in prison? Am I cut out for prison?'" Paperny said. "What's most surprising to me about the first conversation is how many of them didn't view their actions as criminal."

Valin Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 Yankees stop playing Kate Smith’s ‘God Bless America' over concerns some of her other work was racist Diana Stancy Correll April 19, 2019 The New York Yankees have stopped playing Kate Smith's version of “God Bless America” at home games over concerns some of her other recordings might be racist. Smith’s signature 1939 recording of the Irving Berlin song has been a mainstay of the Yankees' seventh-inning stretch since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. But the team replaced Smith's version earlier this season with a rotation of other recordings of the song after someone pointed out some of the popular World War II-era singer's other work. “That’s Why Darkies Were Born” includes the lyrics, "Someone had to pick the cotton. … That’s why darkies were born.” The song might have been interpreted as satirical at the time, since it was recorded with African American artist Paul Robeson.

Valin Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Oxford Professor Argues Invisible Aliens Are Interbreeding With Humans The Oxford Student has learnt that Dr Young-hae Chi, Professor at Oxford’s Oriental Institute, believes in a strong correlation between climate change and alien abductions. In 2012, Dr Chi gave a lecture at the the Ammach Conference, titled ‘Alien Abduction and the Environmental Crisis’ in which he outlined his theory concerning the presence of aliens on earth. Dr Chi began his lecture with the statement that “perhaps human civilisation is coming to an end”. In his fifty-five minute presentation he cited Dr David Jacobs, an ‘abduction researcher’ in the US, who argued that aliens’ primary purpose is to colonise the earth, by interbreeding with humans to produce a new hybrid species. Second generation ‘hybrids’ are, according to Jacobs, walking unobserved among us. Dr Chi argued that “it is not only scientists and theologians, but also non-human species who appear to be greatly concerned about the survivability of the human species”. He pointed out that the timing of aliens’ appearance coincides with the earth facing major problems, climate change and nuclear weapons in particular. He concludes that “it may be more or less assumed that the hybrid project is a response to this impending demise of human civilisation”. He went on to argue that if we act now on climate change, “not only can we save ourselves, but also prove aliens wrong in their judgement of our moral capacity”. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ H/T Steven Hayward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Environmentalist BLASTS C.S. Lewis's 'Chronicles Of Narnia' For 'Miseducating' The Public About Beavers Emily Zanotti June 4 2019 The United Kingdom is suddenly bereft of beavers and apparently it's all C.S. Lewis's fault. The Times of London and the Daily Mail report that a certain Mr. Ben Goldfarb is on a crusade to reintroduce the mighty beaver to Great Britain, and is finding that "The Chronicles of Narnia," which features a married beaver couple (named, appropriately, Mr. and Mrs. Beaver), is standing in his way. In Lewis's iconic tale of a fantasyland accessed through the back of a magical wardrobe, the beaver pair is depicted as sharing a hot fish supper with the some of the book's human characters. But in real life, beavers, Goldfarb says, don't eat fish — they have a strictly herbivorous diet despite the fact that they live in mostly fish-friendly areas.

Valin Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Dodgeball isn't just problematic, it's an unethical tool of 'oppression': researchers The moral problem is that dodgeball encourages students to aggressively single others out for dominance, and to enjoy that dominance as a victory Thousands of academics are gathering in Vancouver for the annual Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences from June 1-7. They will present papers on everything from child marriage in Canada to why dodgeball is problematic. In its Oh, The Humanities! series, the National Post showcases some of the most interesting research. (Snip) When the Canadian Society for the Study of Education meets in Vancouver at the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, a trio of education theorists will argue that dodgeball is not only problematic, in the modern sense of displaying hierarchies of privilege based on athletic skill, but that it is outright “miseducative.” (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Chicago's Field Museum Now Insists You Refer To Its T-Rex Skeleton Using Gender Neutral Pronouns Emily Zanotti June 11 2019 (Snip) According to Arc Digital, "Sue," Field Museum's Tyrannosaurus Rex — one of the most complete and largest T-Rex skeletons ever discovered — is working on becoming a "gender neutral" icon by adopting gender-neutral pronouns in her new private exhibit on the museum's second floor. Sue is not, in fact, gender neutral or gender fluid. The T-Rex skeleton, discovered in South Dakota in the 1990s, was either male or female. The scientists who discovered Sue believed the skeleton belonged to a female because female T-Rexes are larger than male T-Rexes, and Sue was one of the largest dinosaur skeletons ever found; she's named "Sue" after Susan Hendrickson, who led the team that unearthed her.
