Isn't Canada Great, even close to a Spiritual Paradise?

by Disillusioned JW in

a moment ago i clicked onto the link at https://bigglobaltravel.com/cities/funny-pictures-canada-yh/?utm_campaign=canada%20pictures%20shira1606%20dup0109%20msn%20edg%20en%20-%20desktop%20usa%20ya&utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=msn_us&utm_content=msn.com&psl=g_61cd4e&network_code=cm which shows slides of canada.

viewing those slides (in combination with the other things i have seen and heard about canada) made me feel that maybe canada is about as close as one can get in the western world to a nation which is now a spiritual paradise, much like a new peaceful order now.

imagine that the usa would never have had a civil war.

OMG Gretta von funberg is trying to sing

by mickbobcat in

this stupid little autistic twit is a no talent hack.

she can not dance, sing or even talk well.

the liberal idiots follow this little idiot like she is the oracle of delphi.

LoveUniHateExams

@mickbobcat - at least she's doing something that normal teenage girls do.

She's singing and dancing. Nothing wrong with this.

I just hope she quickly discovers sex and d*ck-sucking, then she might forget all about this net zero carbon shit.

A truly absurd situation is brewing ...

by LoveUniHateExams in

yes, it's related to the world cup in qatar next year.. a recent un report has detailed some serious abuse of migrant workers by qatari authorities - we're talking some serious issues here:.

- a caste system with migrant workers treated differently on the basis of ethnicity.

- non-payment of wages.

Yes, it's related to the World Cup in Qatar next year.

A recent UN report has detailed some serious abuse of migrant workers by Qatari authorities - we're talking some serious issues here:

- a caste system with migrant workers treated differently on the basis of ethnicity

- non-payment of wages

- migrants being worked to death in the heat

- migrant deaths not properly investigated, Qatari authorities tend to write 'died of natural causes' and send the coffins home to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kenya or wherever.

There are some sportspeople and journalists speaking out about this and other issues in Qatar. Some Norway footballers recently spoke out against Qatar's (mis-)treatment of LGBT people. And a Finnish footballer called Tim Sparv has recently spoken out about the mistreatment of migrant workers. To these people must go a good deal of respect. They are speaking out when it's convenient to do so and when it's inconvenient.

But the England manager (Gareth Southgate), England captain (Harry Kane), other England players (e.g. Marcus Rashford) and British sports pundits (Gary Lineker, Ian Wright, Rio Ferdinand) are different. They want to have their cake and eat it.

Y'see, these people are very vocal about speaking out on issues in the UK - racism, discrimination, no free school meals for poor kids, etc. On any and all of these issues their lips don't stop flapping.

But they have been totally silent on the issue of migrant mistreatment in Qatar. It seems we're gonna have a situation next year where not one word will be spoken on this issue, from trendy celebs who usually rush to weigh in on social issues in the UK or US.

Weird, huh .....

Happiness Is A Warm Gun

She's not a girl who misses much
Do do do do do do, oh yeah

She's well-acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd with the multicolored mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust

I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix 'cause I'm going down

Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun

Happiness is a warm gun (bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun, momma (bang, bang, shoot, shoot)

When I hold you in my arms (ooh, oh, yeah)
And I feel my finger on your trigger (ooh, oh, yeah)
I know nobody can do me no harm (ooh, oh, yeah)
Because

Happiness is a warm gun, yes it is (bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness is a warm, yes it is, gun (happiness, bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Well, don't you know that happiness is a warm gun momma?
(Happiness is a warm gun, yeah)

The Beatles: I Am The Walrus

I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun
See how they fly
I'm crying

Sitting on a corn flake
Waiting for the van to come
Corporation T-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you've been a naughty boy
You let your face grow long

I am the egg man
They are the egg men
I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob

Mister City policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying

Yellow matter custard
Dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess
Boy, you've been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down

I am the egg man
They are the egg men
I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob

Sitting in an English garden
Waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come you get a tan
From standing in the English rain

I am the egg man (now good sir)
They are the egg men (a poor man, made tame to fortune's blows)
I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob (good pity)

Expert, texpert choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you (ho ho ho, hee hee hee, hah hah hah)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snide
I'm crying

Semolina Pilchard
Climbing up the Eiffel tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allen Poe

I am the egg man
They are the egg men
I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob
Goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob, goo
Joob, joob, jooba

Dune (1984) - er, yeah, lol

by LoveUniHateExams in

so, i saw dune (1984) yesterday.

i knew it wasn't gonna be great, but deary me.

i'm not gonna lie - this film is not good, in fact it's laughably bad in places.. first, i'd like to know the thought process that went behind choosing david lynch to write/direct.

So, I saw Dune (1984) yesterday. I knew it wasn't gonna be great, but deary me.

I'm not gonna lie - this film is not good, in fact it's laughably bad in places.

First, I'd like to know the thought process that went behind choosing David Lynch to write/direct. Lynch is a talented guy but he makes weird little films which aren't to everyone's taste. For a potential sci-fi block-buster like Dune, you need someone who will make a great spectacle which will have broad appeal. And Dune fails, in every way possible. The special effects are bad, the action scenes didn't get me excited, the writing, the dialogue the acting ... I could go on and on.

I gotta say, I like David Lynch. The Elephant Man (1980) is a masterpiece, Mulholland Drive (2001) is very good, The Straight Story (1999) isn't often mentioned but is very good, Eraserhead (1977) is interesting, so is Blue Velvet (1986).

But Dune was a total misfire. I haven't read the novel, so I don't know how much crap in the film was also in the book. I don't know how much control Lynch had over the film, maybe the producers or film company grabbed creative control from him.

Thoughts?

Superman and Captain America

by punkofnice in

i see that marvel are introducing a gay captain america as dc announce the son of superman is bi-sexual.. whereas i don't give a hoot about a person's use of their genitalia as long as it is consensual and not with kids, i'm finding all this 'inclusivity' becoming a bit boring.. are dc and marvel just virtue signalling in the hopes of selling comics and not being set on fire by the antifa frauds?

?.

LoveUniHateExams

I don't mind gay super heroes, but turning existing super heroes into gay super heroes doesn't work - exactly. Why can't they create a brand new super hero who is gay?

Suddenly seeing Superman french kiss a nerdy Japanese guy with purple hair is a bit jarring, to say the least.

Let's give these creators the benefit of the doubt: they are concerned with homophobic bullying in schools and elsewhere and want to make society more tolerant.

Ok, but would ramming sexuality down people's throats achieve this? I mean, before I saw this image I didn't think of where Superman likes to put his penis, if he even had one.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with creating characters who are gay. Here's a film which does this, but without ramming any agenda down people's throats because it's a sci-fi action film: Aliens (1986). At the beginning we see Vasquez refer to Ripley, saying que bonita! (very beautiful!). But that's all it is. We don't see her make a pass at Ripley or kiss her or whatever. Because the film's a sci-fi action flick.

We also hear the space marines talk about getting 'some Arcturian poontang' and saying it doesn't matter if you get a male, it's all good. Again, this is peripheral to the plot and doesn't go anywhere, it's just banter.

Compare the above with Disney Star Wars and their decision to include a Lesbian kiss at the end of The Rise Of Skywalker (2019). This had nothing to do with the plot, and was even deleted in Middle Eastern cinemas, because Disney cares more about Arab money than it does about Arab homophobia.

So, is it a good idea to make a super hero gay? The jury's still out on this, I think. If the idea behind that decision is to make gay people a normal part of society, then wouldn't it be better to make a film with gay characters who are just ordinary people. Y'know, like gay people in real life? lol.

And couple more questions ...

There are several superheroes who have been made gay or bisexual. Where are the gay/bisexual villains?

If queer sexuality is associated with heroism but not villainy, does this mean that the whole damn thing is just LGBT propaganda?

Differences, on average, between men and women

by LoveUniHateExams in

quite bizarrely, there are people trying their level best to blur the lines between man and woman, male and female.. so, i thought it a fairly good idea to list the differences, on average, between men and women.. ok, starting with the most obvious .... women have a vulva, a vagina, and internal gonads (ovaries); men have a penis and external gonads (testes).. women get pregnant, give birth and breastfeed their babies; men do none of those things.. men are taller than women.. men have greater upper-body strength than women.

men have greater bone density and percentage of muscle mass than women.. women live longer than men (this is partly due to life choices and behaviour and partly due to genetics).. men have higher testosterone levels than women.. men heal more quickly from physical injury than women.. the sexual dynamics between men and women tend to be different, too.

re sexual selection, women typically have their choice of the most suitable men.

LoveUniHateExams

Here's another difference which I forgot to put on my list: the male and female gametes are radically different.

Eggs and sperm differ not just in size but in value. One egg cell is more valuable than one sperm cell.

Let me explain why:

Women typically release one egg per month for about 30 years - the total number of viable eggs in a woman reach into the hundreds over her lifetime. But men are different. A typical man releases millions of sperm cells each time he ejaculates. And, men are typically fertile from puberty until when they die (e.g. 70-odd years old). So, a sensible conclusion would be to say that each egg is more precious than each sperm cell.

In the UK it is legal to abort a Down's Syndrome baby up until the moment of birth

by LoveUniHateExams in

there was a recent legal challenge, brought about by a woman who herself has down's, which sought to overturn this sad state of affairs.. and a few days ago, a judge upheld the original law and denied her legal challenge.

this is pretty sick, don't you think?.

pro-abortion people love to ridicule religious people who claim that life begins at conception, so the obvious question is, when does life actually begin?.

LoveUniHateExams

@Earnest - not sure about this.

As I understand it, if a pregnant woman believes her Down Syndrome 9-month-old foetus will grow up unhealthy, she can abort (kill) it. Now, how do we know which aborted babies would have been healthy and which unhealthy?

There could be quite a few aborted babies who might have grown up relatively healthy, with some quality of life, right?

In UK law strangling a child at birth is murder - this was just my way of saying that Down Syndrome babies can be legally killed at birth.

Stop being obtuse.
