Being right too soon is socially unacceptable.

--Robert A Heinlein

Calling everyone you disagree with "far right" is exactly like misusing antibiotics for the common cold.
It doesn't work, it makes you look stupid, and it eventually creates total resistance.
Then it becomes completely useless at doing its real job.

Everyone I don't like is Hitler.

It's rude to say that only women have a cervix.

''Iambiguous is an attention-starved f***w*t wih the emotional maturity of a two year old. ''

''Toddler kicked out of nursery for being 'transphobic' ''

This is totalitarian insanity. If you think small children should be punished for being able to recognise sex, you are a dangerous zealot who should be nowhere near kids or in any position of authority over them.

--J K Rowling


Why stop there? Why not start having dogs euthanised for being 'racist' or 'transphobic' and barking at people from 'vulnerable groups'?

Every single war in the last hundred years was caused by men. So are 99% of rapes, 85% of homicides, and 85% of all violent crime - and that’s in the West, where women are somewhat liberated. In far too many places, men treat women worse than slaves.

You can be underwhelmed and you can be overwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?

That's a very whelming question. I'm having absolutely no trouble with it while at the same time it's not boringly easy.

Everyone talks about the boy who cried wolf, but what about the wolf who cried boy?

In the beginning the wolf was underwhelmingly whelped by a tough old wolf. After two human years he was a teen wolf and his judgment had not fully developed, but he had potential. Then with somewhat typical teenage rebellion, to mess with the stuffy old adults he just had to start crying boy. Even though his last warning proved to be true, he was still branded with a Scarlet R, called a racist, and blackballed from the pack because his howls brought those who were searching for the boy, and the searchers brought their killing thundersticks.

The boy whose fate collided with the wolf had left home on a vision quest encouraged by his mother and disapproved by his father, disapproved by his father because of fears of what the boy would find out there, and in his heart. Approved by his mother because she knew growing up was hard and fast for African boys one generation removed from the slave fields so far away, so like the snow today, the day the white wolf would cry his last warning.

In nature, poisonous creatures will often develop bright colors that warn of their toxicity….


So THAT'S why wokies have pink, blue, yellow or green hair-- and sometimes all at the same time. How very considerate of them.

When humour is defined as doing silly things with utmost focus, sincerity and seriousness, then serious philosophy becomes suspect.
