I would assume UTC receives public funding. Doesn't supporting or rallying against people in a run for public office with an organization that receives public funding violate election laws?

I'd thoroughly recommend reading Orwell's 'Road To Wigan Pier'. Always gets overlooked by 1984 but it's still a classic (non fiction) book to read.

@catch.me.if.you.can

Just step out of your front door and you'll see.

No, i dont see it. They failed to create a police state.

-NSA recording everything you do for future selective enforcement if you become politically inconvenient
NOT A POLICE STATE

-Police driving mine resistant tanks down the streets all over the country
NOT A POLICE STATE

I could do more but I am getting bored stating the obvious.

Capitulating to these stalkers and trust dictators only feeds their behavior. This was a bad move IMO. ...
You in effect just paid the ransom to the people who are trying to kidnap your reputation, and now they will want more, and more, and more, and when there is nothing more left to take they will just kill your rep anyway.

If someone locks or self moderates their thread we need to continue neg repping the shit out of them until the mods prevent it from happening.  

Only scammers use those features.  I don't think any member should have that ability inside the MARKETPLACE.  I do not care about any other forum, but most forums do not let their users do it at all.  

If you need to close your thread, edit the title and body to state it is now closed. (if and when changes are made)

As a long time reputable trader here, I can say that not only scammers use the lock topic/self moderation feature. I have collected quite a menagerie of stalkers here over the years, and when they get in butthurt mode the only thing stopping them from interrupting my ability to trade is lock topic/self moderation. This place is way too much like 4chan to get rid of it completely. I think limiting the feature to full members is a valid compromise though.

The reality starts shaping like a hybrid of Orwell's/Huxley's ("Brave New World") visions of the future. Huxley was probably more accurate in his predictions, at least in relation to 'Western world'.

Huxley Vs Orwell in pictures:

That was a bunch of oversimplified Huxley dick sucking for the sole purpose of shilling a book. Stop wasting our time with that garbage.

I have been doing some reading about this subject, and at this point my opinion is this leak is another OP. It worked so well with Wikileaks and Edward Snowden they decided to do it again. Apparently George Soros is involved at some level funding this. This explains why the Western politicians were left out of it.
7570  Other / Politics & Society / Re: 1984, BY George Orwell on: April 06, 2016, 08:48:44 AM
Orwell was absolutely beyond his time.

In his book the war was not between sides but among 3 sides.

So USA+UK  ;  CHINA+RUSSIA  ;  EUROPE

Where would you place India, Pakistan, Islamic States?Huh?

In 1984, Orwell defined the 3 super powers as "Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia", not by the name of countries specifically, but nations can be inferred to belong within those groups. One day one was the enemy and the other an ally, and the next day they switched. As you can see from a map I found on Wikipedia below, you can see he was even fairly accurate predicting the geopolitical aspects of current battles.

I think it is amazing how he predicted electronic spying in an age when television was a relatively new invention. He was definitely a visionary.

The point is not that it will prevent these things, but having the laws on the books would make it more risky for school administrators for example to stop creepers from trying over and over for fear of being cast as being discriminatory or being sued.


In a school situation there's not going to be many trans people out, maybe 3 or 4 in the whole school.  Somebody that doesn't identify as trans goes in the other bathroom, give 'em hell.  We could even go as far as to make it illegal to go in the other bathroom without a diagnosis of gender dysphoria from a psych.  Carry a little card around showing you've been diagnosed and it's not a part time gig.

There has to be a compromise somewhere in here..

I like the compromise of mandating unisex bathrooms, I think that maximally serves all parties involved, and you seem to agree. As far as the school situation goes, you know how the law works, it only takes one trans person and the whole school policy has to be changed. Like I said before when you are basing laws on something like people's choice of gender identity, it makes laws nearly unenforceable and just creates huge liabilities.

All that radiation is simply American intelligence and ingenuity going nuclear.    Grin

At least you didn't spell it nucular like most people pronounce it after that idiot George bush started saying it that way.
7574  Other / Politics & Society / Re: NEW ZEALAND HAS OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED ALL ANIMALS AS SENTIENT BEINGS on: April 05, 2016, 10:07:04 PM
Wal-Mart Stores Inc said it was aiming to switch to a cage-free egg supply chain in the United States by 2025, joining a host of companies that have committed to stop using eggs laid by caged hens.

The United States' biggest food retailer said on Tuesday it would mandate its egg suppliers to be certified and compliant with United Egg Producers' animal husbandry guidelines or an equivalent standard. (bit.ly/1TAlbFR)

The decision comes at a time when the food industry is under pressure from groups including the Humane Society of the United States, Mercy for Animals and World Animal Protection, which have successfully lobbied many companies to adopt animal welfare practices.

Now this is an area where I actually agree with animal rights activists, and not just because it makes animals suffer. The vast majority of factory farming is totally inhumane and disgusting. It also puts people at risk of disease by forcing these animals to live in their own filth while pumping them full of antibiotics in order to prevent infection. This is basically a super bug factory. This should be solved by passing laws regulating factory farming, but we all know this will not happen because they have powerful lobbies and lots of money to throw at politicians.
7575  Other / Politics & Society / Re: College Implements Gender Neutral Bathrooms on: April 05, 2016, 10:03:50 PM
I understand your complaints, but is it not true that allowing anyone to just choose what bathroom they want to use creates problems and conflicts for the vast majority of the population as well? It is very possible people could just masquerade as trans just to get into opposite sex bathrooms for reasons of degeneracy. Why do you think it is ok to transfer your discomfort to others to alleviate your own?
What is to stop some creep from doing these things anyway?  If somebody is creeping around call the cops on them for being a creep or harassing you.

Couldn't somebody of the other gender say they are biologically female but look like a man, and therefor have to be in that bathroom?

Hell, I could go as far as to say these laws make it easier for the creeps to get in, as somebody presenting as a man just has to say they have a vagina.


To answer your questions, the vast majority of the time it does not create a conflict, and what it may create is about as bad as the conflict of allowing transmen in womens bathrooms (and vice versa).

Unless you have a unisex bathroom, trans people that do not pass will inherently make somebody uncomfortable, as will bathroom laws.

The point is not that it will prevent these things, but having the laws on the books would make it more risky for school administrators for example to stop creepers from trying over and over for fear of being cast as being discriminatory or being sued.


I can see you are trying to attach this to me personally as if I have a problem with trans people, I don't. I have a problem with the rights of others being taken from one group of people and given to another

I don't have a problem with you personally, I'm arguing against your logic, not calling you a poopy face...

You are exactly arguing for rights being taken away from tranny's... you just cannot see it for some reason

The reason media outlets are reporting that NC struck down "anti-discrimination laws" is because that is exactly the situation...

No you aren't just criticizing my logic, you are addressing me personally as if I have some kind of "transphobia" and speculating on my personal beliefs, not just discussing the topic directly. Additionally I don't think it is exactly righteous to make larger amounts of people uncomfortable to satiate smaller numbers of people. In net total that creates more discomfort, not less. That is just taking the rights of the majority and giving it to the minority, not "rights being taken away from tranny's".
7576  Other / Politics & Society / Re: College Implements Gender Neutral Bathrooms on: April 05, 2016, 09:53:56 PM
My point is it is a fact many people are not comfortable with this. I personally don't give a shit who uses what bathroom (as long as the ladies don't turn it into a biohazard area). Do you deny that pedophiles exist? What would stop them from using this arrangement to perv on children in schools for example, and then claim minority protections and victim-hood when exposed?

What is to stop a pedophile from dressing as a woman, and being a perv in the woman's room, regardless of whether tranny's are allowed in there?

If someone is doing anything illegal, that is the crime... not pissing in a stall with the door closed

Stopping tranny's from using the bathroom of their new gender, does not stop a pervert from dressing as a woman

It does make a difference indeed, because people would be less likely to stop it for risk of being accused, charged, or being sued for "discrimination".


Stop what exactly?

What exactly are you afraid someone is doing in the bathroom?

I can see you are trying to attach this to me personally as if I have a problem with trans people, I don't. I have a problem with the rights of others being taken from one group of people and given to another. Please keep it about the topic and not about me personally, or I will just stop replying to your nonsense personal attacks. I would have loved to have this discussion with the actual person this effects directly, but you have pretty much ensured that wont happen with your knee jerk reactions.

I do not believe this at all...

Cite a single time where any man dressed as a woman to sneak into the women's room... it didn't happen... you're just afraid of the boogy man

yes, I am sure statistics are collected on this xD

Do you deny that pedophiles exist? What would stop them from using this arrangement to perv on children in schools for example, and then claim minority protections and victim-hood when exposed? Laws need to be quantifiable and enforceable. Basing a law around what amounts to at minimum a person's choice is not an effective law.
7579  Other / Politics & Society / Re: College Implements Gender Neutral Bathrooms on: April 05, 2016, 09:42:47 PM
While I wish we could just let people use bathrooms based on gender identity, this seems like a valid option for places wanting to be transgender friendly.

As a trans person currently living in NC, this law sucks ass.  Big burly transmen will be in the girls room and freak them out, transgirls will be in the guys room and risk being attacked.  Either way, police may be called and take time to check ID's, not to mention if you get an officer that isn't TG friendly....

You're pretty much stuck between outing yourself to the world as trans and risking your safety, and risking being charged with a sex crime.

Going to the bathroom shouldn't feel like Mission Impossible to avoid being seen -_-

So what is your issue with unisex bathrooms then?
I don't have one, but I'd rather just be able to use the one I identify with anywhere rather than having to hunt out a 'safe space'.  If everywhere had a unisex bathroom I'd be totally okay with it, but that simply won't happen.

Moron on permanent ignore. Bye, bye forever.
I'll be a moron as soon as animals have the same feelings as humans. 
Let me know when animals feel remorse for all the other animals they kill. 

They don't, just like you and other fascists who want a permanent final solution to get rid of people "forever" if they inconvenience you in the slightest.  Maybe you're like an animal that way.


While it could have been said more eloquently, I have to agree with this sentiment. By raising animals to the level of humans you automatically also lower humans to the level of animals. These kind of laws just utilize the rabid animal rights activist crowd to push the agenda for more control over dictating the freedoms of humans under the pretense of animal rights. We have already seen some extremely absurd environmental restrictions being used in the same way. Research Agenda 21. It is not a theory, it is fact. If people really cared about the environment and the welfare of animals they would be pushing to end nuclear energy, or at least upgrading the plants to newer models that can't melt down when the power goes out like in Fukushima. If you want to see real animal suffering just look at the Pacific ocean.
