Get Woke Go Broke

by punkofnice in

what do you think of this?

does it make sense?

any examples either way?.

What do I think of it? - well, re the arts, some changes are ok but to change things just to score virtue signalling points is pretty stupid. For instance, if a film maker wanted to make a film of Agatha Christie's novel Ten Little N***ers then it would be fine if the title was changed. But what we're seeing often in film and TV is changes just to please purple-haired Communist-supporters. TBH, I found it quite amusing at first but now it's getting tedious.

So, what we tend to see is female characters being made 'strong' - they usually have purple or pink hair, shaved high at the sides. And they are usually incredible fighters, able to kick men's asses despite weighing 95 pounds soaking wet. Their sexuality is typically non hetero-normative.

It shows a complete lack of creativity.

There are plenty of examples of film and TV going woke. A fair few major franchises have been ruined this way.

Here's one example: a horror film will soon be released called Karen. About a white woman who moves next door to black people and she's racist. Yeah, it's a serious film, not parody of woke culture, lol. Check out the like/dislike ratio to this trailer. XD

Re banks and businesses going woke then broke, there are some examples of this, too. I think Barclays Bank went all-out in their support for LGBT+ Pride Month. I just want a bank which will look after my money and let me draw it out. I don't care about people's private lives. I can't be the only person who feels this way, lol.

All these organisations are free to go woke. But customers are free to choose whether we'll use their services or watch their movies or buy their products.

Hopefully common sense will eventually rule.

Delroy Grant the "Nightstalker"

by cantleave in

according to radio 4 is a devout jw.

'Including The Night Stalker - Trust him. Invite him into your home as a brother' - did Splane really say this?!

My grandmother was one of his victims. I remember her telling me and my dad when we visited her home.

I think she was lucky because she told us he didn't rape her. But he did touch her inappropriately after breaking into her house at 3 o' clock in the morning. She must have been terrified.

I knew Delroy Grant lived a double life but I didn't know he was a JK, and I didn't know Splane said that about him. Splane is nearly as much of an asshole as Delroy Grant.

Remember when HITTING A WOMAN was just WRONG!

by pistolpete in

just a few years ago, any man that slapped a women was considered a piece of shit.

today people are are paying and cheering to see a man knocking the shit out of a woman.

what feminists, social warriors, and gender recognition fighters don't realized is that their actions are actually causing the world to revert back to the days when the world treated women as property, second class species, with no rights whatsoever, whose only value was a sex instrument for the male species.

LoveUniHateExams

I know some women are XXY and some scientific sources that some of them are fertile - this is all very well but these people are statistical outliers. They are well outside the average.

And in science, averages are very important. If an alien from outer space came to Earth and asked us about men and women, we'd say that women have XX chromosomes and get pregnant, because that's how the average woman is. We'd also say that men have a penis and testicles and produce viable sperm because that's what the average man is like.

I think you're doing two things: you're downplaying the importance of sex chromosomes, plus you're being a bit dishonest with statistics in that you are attaching too much importance to statistical outliers.

Hi Disillusioned JW - sex chromosomes matter, ok.

If they didn't, then XY people could get pregnant and have children. They can't, of course.

And that's why have have two sexes - f**king and having kids.

I still think you're downplaying the importance and role of chromosomes.

Down's Syndrome people are the way they are because of the number of chromosomes they have, right?

@Disillusioned JW - you're minimising the role and importance of sex chromosomes.

Fertile human females have XX chromosomes. A trans-woman can never have a baby.

Fertile human males have at least one Y chromosome. A trans-man can never father a child.

These facts don't matter too much when we're talking specifically about trans women athletes wiping out the XX competition in women's sports, but they do matter when we're discussing what a woman is and what a man is, and what they've evolved to do (hint: they've evolved to f**k and have babies).

The broader issue here is that human interaction is a two-way street. Trans women may identify as women but not everyone else will see them as that. And, really, both opinions are fine.

I may identify as a nice guy but some people will see me as an asshole. The problem here is that trans activists are trying to force people to share their particular views, and demonise them if they dare to have a different opinion (e.g. see JK Rowling).

@Justaguy - yes, I recently saw The Dark Night. Generally speaking, I'm not a big Batman fan but that movie was good.

Here's one of my favorite scenes from Black Swan (2010). Natalie Portman gives a great performance as Nina, a gifted ballet dancer who is under great pressure to get the main role in Swan Lake and kinda disintegrates mentally. Here, she gets back from a nightclub and just kinda rebels against her mom. This is such a change from Portman playing Padme Amidala. I thought she had all the charisma of a piece of wood in the Star Wars prequels but here she's great.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) Medical Commission now recognizes that the sex hormone levels are a much more relevant factor in determining sex/gender for sport's competitions, than the sex chromosomes - even this is debatable.

What is the biological function of the two sexes? Why, it's to make the next generation via sexual reproduction.

And only XX individuals can get pregnant and give birth.

And only individuals with at least one Y chromosome can produce viable sperm and impregnate someone.

One of the fundamentals of biology is this: the phenotype comes from the genotype.

And in this case, the genotype is sex chromosomes and the phenotype is tits & pussy or cock and balls.

I read that Chris Evert, former no 1 womens player and 18 time Grand Slam winner, never ONCE won a match against her brother ... who wasn't even a professional player - I didn't know that, but I can believe it.

A few years ago when Venus and Serena were in their primes they challenged the men's world number 200 ... and this guy had a bottle of beer in the morning, then beat Venus in the first set, then beat Serena in the second set.

Anyone have an obvious gay or lesbian in the congregation?

by mickbobcat in

when i was a kid we had a kh with a basement and this guy joe winestien lived in it.

he has passed away i believe.

he was about 24 and used to hang around the young boys.

LoveUniHateExams

We had a guy a couple of years younger than me who was very effeminate.

Just listening to him speak and observing his mannerisms, you'd at least ask yourself, is this guy gay?

I don't know if he was or not ... perhaps he was bisexual?

I just don't know.

He was a nice guy, generally speaking. And he *was* included in congregation stuff, from what I remember.

He could be a bit pissy sometimes. I'll give you an example: we were all invited out to dinner to an Indian restaurant. Generally speaking, we all had a good time. But we all had had a few drinks, and for one reason or another this guy put some salt or pepper in my hair. Can't remember why or what started it, maybe he was just having a laugh. So, I kinda laughed along with it, then 10 minutes later I put some salt in his hair. Give as good as you get, right?

And then this guy went ballistic. Because I did the same to him!

Anyway, he was a nice guy. I wonder what happened to him. Maybe he left the WTS and is now living with his husband, who knows?
