This one was not only boring…but I thoroughly went through all of the questions, finding or making nuanced answers, and rating my feelings about them…
…Got to the bottom and clicked to get my results, and the page froze up…The second time around was quick, and far less refined.
It still pegged me correct, by naming the person I voted for…
…It’s outrageous that it still placed me at around 80% aligned with Hillary, however…”The Donald” was down near the bottom…though above one other person.
“The House of Representatives on Tuesday approved an amendment to the Make America Secure and Prosperous Appropriations Act that will roll back Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s expansion of asset forfeiture.
Amendment No. 126 was sponsored by a bipartisan group of nine members, led by Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich. He was joined by Democratic Reps. Ro Khanna of California; Washington state’s Pramila Jayapal, a rising progressive star; and Hawaii’s Tulsi Gabbard.
Civil asset forfeiture is a practice in which law enforcement can take assets from a person who is suspected of a crime, even without a charge or conviction. Sessions revived the Justice Department’s Equitable Sharing Program, which allowed state and local police agencies to take assets and then give them to the federal government — which would in turn give a chunk back to local police. This served as a way for these local agencies to skirt past state laws designed to limit asset forfeiture.
I think, except for a brief visit where some zealots were trolling the blog [I got over 1,200 hits, in one day], this post has not even left the list.
And, okay…that’s perfectly fine…It’s a very worthwhile post to read…possibly one of the more important ones, for what Rob says, himself…
It’s just kind of strange, that a post where I critique such a scene [and parts of an interview], is basically the number one post on this blog…Who keeps rushing back to this blog, to witness Rob Callender’s twanger?
…Is his twanger just this enticing, and famous?
…Am I the only weirdo, to write a critique on it?…[well, the scene, actually…I didn’t critique his twanger…I suppose I could have…It was “right there”, after all…]…
Maybe it’s the novelty of the post…and since nobody else has written about it quite like I have…I could be one of the top search results, for “Rob Callender’s Penis”, at any given search engine…
The big mystery here…is whether people are visiting to read my post…or whether I’m being upstaged by Rob Callender’s penis…
Other posts and pages on that list are mostly recent content…
…I’m glad to see the EQF Community Links consistently staying on this list.
For a blog that has practically nothing here, concerning boy nudity [other than a bit of philosophical discussion]…It’s just curious that these posts wont fade into the background.
…It kind of makes me think…people just love, naked boys!
01) Armie Hammer Has Perfect Response To James Woods’ Hypocritical Gay Tweet
“The queer-themed coming-of-age drama “Call Me By Your Name” drew critical raves after its Sundance Film Festival premiere in January, garnering early Oscar buzz for stars Armie Hammer and Timothée Chalamet.
One person who isn’t buying into the buzz, however, is James Woods. The 70-year-old actor, who is known for his conservative views, blasted the film for its portrayal of a romantic relationship between a 24-year-old academic (Hammer) and a 17-year-old American expat (Chalamet) living in Italy.”
I always believed that true decency, is allowing others their own humanity.
Who is James Woods, to deny this for others?
…and while he’s well known for un-holstering….ummm…”The Little Lone Twanger”, and slipping it to barely legal females several decades younger than himself, no less?…
Another classic example, of a person who likes to jump on top of the very young wherever it suits his own spats of heat…but points a finger of righteous indignation, whenever anyone even portrays a similar thing.
…He who lives in a glass house, should not throw stones…
But if the vulgar hypocrisy is not bad enough…
…I’m wondering how James imagines, that the way sexual minorities are maltreated in society, and the way they continue to be denied genuine voice and representation, is in any way decent…
…How is it decent, standing in the way of these people finding points of happiness in life, who have it hard enough as is?
As a homosexual who grew up in a family and school, owned by a deeply religious church…as someone put through years of mental torment over this, as a young person…where is this cultural “decency” you so stridently talk about, James?…Because I’ve certainly never seen it.
…I don’t believe that being put through years of suicidal tendencies, being forced to hate and reject myself, and destabilizing my life, is in any way decent.
Sad thing…after everything this world has put people like me through, you’d still deny me even the most meager scraps of personal happiness, wouldn’t you?
People like you just strike out at others, even when they’ve never done a damn thing against you.
“The Millennial Generation is increasingly unaffiliated with religion. It’s also a generation often described as entitled, coddled, disinterested, and lazy. We explore the label and the people beyond it.
I never really saw “millennial” as being an insult, in itself. I know it carries baggage of it’s own…but, if you think “generation x” didn’t have baggage…I’ve got news for you…It certainly did…just a different style of baggage.
I think…my own interpretation on “problems with millennials”, has more to do with problems cropping up from “internet culture”, than anything else.
People flock together…they identify “the other”…and they can become vicious, rabid mobs…and their own bias and bigotry, is efficiently enabled on a level, that has never before existed to humans.
Having “facts” at your fingertips doesn’t make you wise, or experienced…It does not grow you, as an individual.
…Having 90% of your personal human interaction over your cell phone, is very socially stunting…And people lose that valuable face to face experience…where they can understand the ramifications of their treatment of others.
…That’s one of the things I’ve definitely found foul and vulgar, in the millennial generation…It’s like their sense of self entitlement to dehumanize people, has been amplified off the charts.
It’s like so many of them don’t know how to behave, towards someone with a life experience and worldview, radically different from their own.
As it is…most of my personal interaction with millennials the past few years, has been occurring as I sometimes intermingle with younger MAPs…It’s leaned way more towards the positive, than the negative…I love what I’ve seen a few of them doing.
One aside, however…
Being a free thinking individualist…I don’t like seeing the pack mentality…There’s way too much thinking like “the Borg” going on, in this world…I’ve experienced enough of that sort of thing, to fill twenty lifetimes…So, I’m very cold on the trend of everyone trumpeting their “anti contact” mantra…
…especially when there is absolutely nothing unethical, about being pro contact.
I am pro contact…and I would put my level of ethics and behavior up against any anti contact person [MAP or otherwise], anytime, anywhere…I’d put my ethics and behavior up against the entire lot of them…And I have no fear over walking away from such an encounter, with my own integrity and dignity intact.
Forgive the awkward aside…I didn’t want to turn this into a comment on other MAPs…I just really dislike group think, echo chambers, and social structures where everybody has to tow the line…
…And the “anti contact” branch, is internalizing and promoting a grossly false paradigm within it.
01) Understanding and preventing adolescent pedophilia
“Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Professor Elizabeth Letourneau has devoted her life’s work to changing how people view child sexual abuse. In her 2016 TEDMED Talk, Elizabeth explains how initiatives that target juvenile sex offenders can play an important role in preventing future offenses.”
She sounds like an opportunistic hack, to me.
This is just more of the same old “you’re dangerous” paradigm.
“Child sexual abuse” and adolescent pedophilia, are not the same thing.
…And the title of that video, is absolutely horrifying…
…”Preventing”?…
Leave the pedophiles alone!
We don’t need your imposed holocaust.
We need a support structure…But we don’t need, what people like this woman has to offer.
To the extent that it intersects with pedophiles…true child sexual abuse can be addressed and combated, within the pedophile subculture, itself.
Most of it likely comes from a lack of guidance, in the first place.
The fact that it is so dangerous for “pedophiles” to find each other, associate, interact and build meaningful bonds, is at the root of what leaves these young pedophiles adrift, in the first place.
Combine this with the idiotic belief that “pedophiles want sexual anarchy”, and you’ve robbed true pedophiles of their ability to establish and maintain sexual order, within their own spheres of influence.
Young pedophiles don’t need outsiders, lacking a first hand understanding [and experience] of being a “pedophile”, trying to act like their handlers.
…They need established, respectable pedophiles to look up too, and take guidance from.
Full Video – Stephen King’s IT Best Book Scenes Not in the Movie:
” A review of Stephen King’s IT 2017 Movie. A discussion of the best scenes from the IT Book that were not in the movie. Explain what IT is.”
One of my favorite parts of the book.
I read “IT” as an early twenty something.
It’s been so many years since I read the book, that I don’t remember all the names of the characters…But I remember that part…It’s something you would only likely experience in a book…or in an exceedingly rare movie…
…Apparently, “IT 2017” is not such a movie.
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one, who agrees on the importance of that part.
