  1. dudes....i bought the wii zapper yesterday with a little zelda shooting game. i seriously cant believe how fun it is. even if i lose interest in it by next monday it will still be $20 well spent.

     

    btw - has anyone played manhunt 2 on the wii?

  2. i made out this year, mostly due to my girlfriends mom who apparently loves to spend money.

     

    la haine criterion dvd

    man bites dog criterion dvd

    i stand alone dvd

    punishment park dvd

    (my parents were sitting there watching me open these, like "who invited team bum out to christmas?". i like depressing, well made movies...what do you want?)

    nice sherpa hoodie

    nintendo wii (i thought getting game systems for christmas stopped at 12)

    riedel scotch glasses

    riedel white wine glasses

    two riedel decanters

    couple pairs of shoes

    really nice stainless steel trash can

    stainless pot rack (the lady and i bought this for ourselves)

    wustoff bread knife

    assorted other stuff

     

    im not really posting all this stuff for the "look what i got!" factor (except for the dvds and the pot rack...im feeling those hard). more to convey how odd this christmas was for me. i feel pretty weird about getting all this crap for essentially no reason at all other than making their daughter happy. well. whatever.

     

    hope everyone had a good one.

  3. ok, i see how you can look at that data at face value, isolate the points that support your argument and get your smoking gun. Below are the main points I would assume you a referencing in that link.

    "Black women are almost four times as likely as white women to have an abortion, and Hispanic women are 2.5 times as likely."

    "The abortion rate among women living below the federal poverty level ($9,570 for a single woman with no children) is more than four times that of women above 300% of the poverty level (44 vs. 10 abortions per 1,000 women)"

    "Two thirds of all abortions are among never-married women"

    these all would point towards a working effort to weed out "undesirables" if you look at it from the right angle. now lets take a look at a crucial point that ties all of this together.

    "Fifty-two percent of U.S. women obtaining abortions are younger than 25: Women aged 20–24 obtain 33% of all abortions, and teenagers obtain 19%"

    we are looking 52% of women who, in many cases, have not reached the point in life where they are earning a steady income that would take them above the poverty line. i can almost assure you just from looking around me that there are no more than 1% to 2% in this segment that are earning close to $30k a year or higher. this goes a long way in explaining what some would perceive as the targeting of the lower class based solely on income but obviously, when placed in the correct context, it makes perfect sense. the 4:1 income ratio exists in great part because the majority of those having abortions are either high school or college aged and are in no position, either due to educational obligations or lack of professional experience, to move beyond that poverty line. this 52% also goes a long way in explaining the rate of abortion among never-married women which i assume could again be perceived as "undesirable" based on your criteria. obviously 19% is more than likely out the door immediately and "at risk" women under the age of 25 are going to make up a significant portion of the remaining 33%. the remainder can be filled out by common sense. single women are, more often than not, in a situation where they cannot support a child from a financial or emotional standpoint. male or female, being a single parent is tough for both parties involved.

    to account for the racial divide all i needed to do was click over to another section to find a point that sums it up neatly enough.

    http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/fb_sexEd2006.html

    "Only one out of three sexually experienced black males and fewer than half of sexually experienced black females had received instruction about contraception before the first time they had sex"

    that fact coupled with mountains of data citing that black men and women are more susceptible to sexually transmitted disease would indicate that there is a much higher risk of pregnancy here, wouldnt it?

    looking at alex jones little film last night it seemed to me that he wanted me to believe the white power structure in america is pouring resources into cleansing our country and the world of those they would deem as inferior. what strikes me as odd is that this white power structure can pull off amazing feats such as engineering 9/11 but cant manage to slip a simple sex education course or a few condoms or birth control pills into an inner city high school to avoid having to revert to plan B, "promoting abortion" amongst minorities to sloppily finish the job they set out to do. fucking bizarre, huh? not only that, this white power structure, many of whom seem to be of the liberal persuasion, are promoting their covert brand of eugenics in any predominately white, upper class school that will accept them. wouldnt these be the people they want reproducing? im starting to get confused as to how this plan works but maybe that is their point.

    i could go on an on here but the bottom line is that if you take the blinders off the current state of sexual education and family planning doesnt jive with this whole eugenics thing. perhaps thats why AJ all but stopped his film with the nazis.....

    ps - ive been listening to/watching "endgame" at work. im about an hour through and its pretty interesting thus far, all the over the top silliness aside. im actually kind of into the segement about the north american trade corridor.

  4. ha, fair enough. id like to see those and how they point to a systematic eugenics program. i have no doubt there are some startling numbers amongst the lower class. whether that is because of some methodical, secret program or due to the startling lack of education that our country offers the poor will be another story.

     

    please provide links if you have the time.

  5. casek, how about we not go with alex jones for a minute. he is obviously someone who lacks any form of objectivity and has built the foundation for his "career" upon fear mongering and half truths. that so called "history of eugenics" consisted of him referencing the political climate of the early part of last century (a very dark and ignorant time in our social history) personal beliefs of a select few, and nazis (no secret there). it then jumps to america hiring ex-nazi scientist which he fails to mention were mostly used for rocketry and aeronautics and other military functions. from that he jumps into an introduction of huxleys speech mentioned above which jones dubs as (paraphrasing) "an admission that his book was not fiction but what the elite were actually planning to implement". he then set off to butcher the speech for the next three minutes in order to illustrate his supposed point (he is very good at editing, ill give him that). what struck me as hilarious is that he is so confident of the viewers predisposition to his way of thinking that he actually fails to show huxley making an admission of this at any time during this horribly chopped "speech". he essentially takes a lecture on science, psychology, history and literature delivered by someone with a firm grasp on human nature and the reality of the world around us and turns it on its head. he may very well have dubbed a "and i propose" at the start of the clip and finished it with "and only by these means will the white elite maintain control of the world". its absurd. i just cant accept that as a valid reference.

     

    i got off on a tangent but my point is you are going to need more than a few you tube movies and planned parenthoods association with a bigot in an era where hate thrived to convince me there is validity to your argument. as dismissive as i may be coming off to you, i am actually willing to listen. i just expect some actual facts, not somones one sided interpretation of them.

  6. IM - DJing

    BC - making a whole room lose their shit whenever you feel like it is awesome

  7. regardless of where she stood with the people of pakistan, this doesnt bode well for them. i cant imagine how scary a situation like this has to be for those opposed to musharraf.

     

     

    kind of puts things here in america in perspective....

  8. sorry to jump on this one so late...you know i had to once i saw it, casek. im at work so youll have to excuse me for not diving into this more right now but i did have a couple of thoughts on your first few posts on page one.

     

     

    first of all, thank you for posting this audio. it was great to listen to though im having a hard time understanding why this would have been referenced as anything in defense of what you are insinuating. as yumone pointed out, huxley makes is very clear at various points in his speech (28:50 and 30:25 are of note as well as the introductory speaking siting these as topics of "concern" for huxley) that he is is opposed to these ideas and finds the reprehensible in the context which they are being discussed. this is nothing more than an analysis of these methods.

     

    moving on to the "photo" of sanger at a klan rally...

     

    6to4d9t.jpg

     

    you cannot brush off people who are picking on this photo when you are presenting it a irrefutable evidence. honestly, id like to believe you posted this as a self deprecating joke...i mean, its really fucking bad, casek. i dont know much about margaret sanger so i cannot refute these claims about her and honestly, i dont even think i would care to because it doesnt have anything to do with what you are saying here. if sanger was alive and directing planned parenthood operations across the nation i may give it though but at this point, her beliefs are so irrelevant to the modern day direction of this program that i can hardly give a shit.

     

    just looking over this thread for five minutes its blatantly clear you focusing on the possible implications of birth control rather than the actual facts pertaining to planned parenthood. essentially, what you are saying is "abortion and birth control could and has been used to "design" a perfect, desirable race of people therefore anyone who condones or promotes birth control has nefarious, naziesq motivation".

    your argument to support this is all over the place from focusing on dubious personal beliefs of certain individuals, to eugenics in china (there is no planned parenthood chapter in china as far as i know and i dont think anyone in their right mind would agree with the programs they are implementing there - again, not sure how this relates or why its being brought up) to references from what are most likely one sided sources with no background to make them relevant. its hard to take seriously and honestly, kind of offensive to me that you would attack this issue with such reckless abandon.

     

    i personally know many people who work for or with planned parenthood and none of them hold the beliefs that you seem to think drive this organization. the fact is planned parenthood exists to educate and provide many services in a society where christians and catholics are promoting archaic versions of sexual education to the detriment of their children and solid health care for those that need it most is virtually unavailable. read into it however you would like...just dont try to pawn this bullshit off as truth.

     

    on another, similar note, i never got a chance to look over the you tube clips you pmed me a while back. i tried to view them today but it looks like they were taken down from the site. if you have another, working link please shoot it my way.

  9. im just messing around about the jamband stuff. i was actually at a sound tribe show on two occasions and they definitely sounded good. its not my thing but i can see why people like it. talented dudes. also, as much shit as ive talked on phish during the last few years, you cant be mad at trey anastasio on a guitar. that guy is good at what he does.

  10. hahahha....dude asked "what band?".

     

    that les claypool photo is funny....if it was taken from the opposite side of the stage i would be in that picture. that said, i would go see neurosis. its worth pointing out im not a musician and i love really heavy stoner metal so im probably not the best person to ask (not that you did).

     

    ps - les claypool tickets are probably going to be butt ass expensive....those kind of bands love to gouge the fuck out of their fans on new years.

  11. i was watching a documentary about sexism, homophobia and negative images in rap. they were interviewing a group of trannys at some type of hip hop weekend down in florida. one of them said something to the effect of "its the most thugged out niggas that come find us on the down low."....considering the over the top homophobia in rap i believe it. ive always thought the most homophobic people are the ones who are two steps away from becoming what the supposedly "hate" and theyre just too fucking stupid to figure out how to deal with it.

     

    weezy can gay it up with his shirtless, man kissing self all day long....just dont run around acting like youre not about it. its seriously uncool.
