Bout goddamned time, cocksuckers.

if any of the regulars are about, evening,moonbeams. just sauntering.
From the previous thread:
Hildegard! Yes! I have some records of her music. Do you know the term 'melismatic"? Literally meaning 'flowing like honey', it's often applied to singing in elaborate, flowing, complicated lines. It has recently been applied both to Hildegard as well as Destiny's Child
I love Gregorian chants and that's how I found the Hildegard cd. It makes me feel calm in an odd way. Very therapeutic, though I'm not in the same religion.
By The Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS - The General Assembly approved Friday night six pro-Palestinian resolutions over U.S. and Israeli objections, culminating in the world body's declaration of backing the Palestinians' right to an independent state.
In the key resolution on the "Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine," the General Assembly welcomed the November 26 cease-fire in Gaza and urged both sides to maintain the truce which it said could pave the way for negotiations towards a solution to the conflict.
At the end of three days of speeches, the 192-member world body on Friday reaffirmed the UN's responsibility regarding the Palestinian question and stressed the Palestinian peoples' right to self-determination and an independent state.
So, anyway... why don't I purposely try to offend someone else, tonight?
Has anyone besides Our Perpetual Victim been browbeating the entire human race (save their self-identified group of insiders) about the use of a fucking word for months on end?
.
this used to be such a nice place at night before it became troll central.
Sad, innit? Maybe if we talk in a veryloudvoice?
The resolutions are not legally binding - as Security Council resolutions are - but they are a reflection of world opinion. Each of the six resolution received more than 100 "yes" votes. The United States, Israel, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and Palau voted against all six resolutions.
Before I become any more tedious I should bid you all a peaceful night.

ME! The Arid Land of P.C. Debate
By The Associated Press and Itim
GAZA CITY - An Israel Navy boat fired toward a Palestinian fishing vessel off Gaza on Saturday in a first Israeli violation of a week-old truce in Gaza, Palestinian security officials said.
The vessel caught fire, but no one was hurt, the security officials said.
The Israel Defense Forces had no immediate comment.
Sad, innit? Maybe if we talk in a veryloudvoice?
Maybe if we call the troll exterminator. Yep, sad.
Good night, JeffCO. Sweet dreams
Also in Gaza, an 11-year-old boy died of injuries he sustained two weeks ago in an Israeli military operation in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya, hospital doctors said.
G'nite all.

Crap, I have a bit more tedium in me. Here's the thing, JP: those in the group being demeaned get to be offended, and those outside the group don't get to decide what those people should find offensive or not. Put another way, if you're a white hetero male, don't tell black lesbians what they should or shouldn't find offensive when you've just finished calling someone a black lesbian as a way of demeaning them. It's really not anything more than that.
I've also been listening Elliott Carter's Sonata for Flute, Oboe, Cello & Harpsichord. I'm not there yet in terms of appreciating his music.
Very therapeutic, though I'm not in the same religion.

I've never been a christian, myself. Hildegard, i think, is special, since she wrote the most beautiful of the religious chants. A little later, the troubadors and trouveres were writing cool stuff too, but secular. But Hildegard, apparantly quite a power in her time, gets extra point for being the earliest composer known by name.
I feel we-fweshed!
Echidne of the snakes, nice analysis.
A couple of days ago on dK a man my age called me "girl" and said I "needed a father in the worst way."
Patently offensive remarks, but no vulgarities used.
I went on to hand him his ass on a platter, both in drawing the line about speech and in the battle of wits (in which he was completely unarmed.)
It's been a long time since I have run across someone so naive as to not at least attempt to disguise their paternalism.
All this to say, the guy was totally offensive without using any coarse language.

for modern classical music, i tend to skip the entire mid-century after early stravinsky, and go straight to Arvo Part. He seems to be the most popular living composer, & quite listenable to boot

Interesting. I inherited about 500 cds of odd stuff from a guy who used to write critiques of classical music, and I'm slowly listening to them. Do you have any special recommendations of how to jump into Part's music?
calling someone a black lesbian
Pam Grier on Halle Berry action, that's just good stuff, people.
All this to say, the guy was totally offensive without using any coarse language.
Henry Flower
Yes, offensiveness isn't quite as simple as using certain words or not. Much depends on the context and what buttons get pushed. Often the buttons that get pushed belong to unintended people, though.
JeffCO: Crap, I have a bit more tedium in me.

JeffCO
It's also more than that. You don't get to generally demean others by calling them a hurtful term for 'black lesbians' who aren't necessarily, as a way of sluring those who aren't which creates an atomosphere that oppresses all black lesbians.

hmmmm... can't seem to find my favorite Part record on th' Amazon. It has an album cover with a fractally cracked sunset desert landscape that looks for all the world like the playa at burning man. I like it because they are using baroque viols and suchlike to play 21st century music. Anyway, he comes from your part of the world, being - estonian!

A funny thing about Estonian and Finnish is that though they're related they can be different in odd ways. For example, the Finnish word for a pimple or a zit is the Estonian word for a hill.
What does it mean when a heterosexual man refers to another heterosexual man as a prick? It happens a lot, and it's not homophobic. What is it?

You could call me a fat, balding middle aged man with a bad complexion. I might even take umbrage at that except it is true.

What, you're saying your offensiveness is okay, because others who're like me in sexual orientation act in a certain way towards you, as an individual?
Fuck you, pal. Fuck you where you breathe.

In other words: When you call a hetero guy a fag to demean him, it hurts gay people.

I once got rather violently hugged by a Hungarian who had eaten a lot of garlic in a train going through Sweden. He was so happy to have found a relative.
Hungarian sounds like Finnish if you're in another room, but when you get closer you can't understand a single word and you also hear a lot more of Slavic sibilants.

a friend of mine once decided that to say "fuck you" was to wish something good on somebody, so she started to say "kill you" when she was pissed off. But - this was now too raw and close to reality, so we made her stop.

Incog, maybe you should learn to deal with this truth: not everybody likes homosexuals. We might like homosexual individuals, but as a class of people you seem odd -- at least to a lot of heterosexuals. You might be normal, but you're not natural, to our way of thinking.
We don't hate you the way the rabid fundies do, and we don't want to hurt you, but we don't want to join any kind of Gay fan club. I think that the feeling that heteros have for gays, in general, is kind of hard-wired into us. You might kill us, but you're not going to change us. The best we can do, perhaps, is to take a live-and-let-live approach to each other, and seek some kind of detente that makes neither gays nor heterosexuals feel compromised nor hypocritical.
Without feeling insulted, do you think that you understand what I mean?

There are the things I use to tease English speakers: the diphthongs, mostly. Like "further" is kauemmas, and "table" is poyta (should be dots on the o and the a). The "y" is like the French y-sound, the o-with-dots is like one says the "u" in burn and the a-with-dots is like the "a" in ant.
The "r" sound has one more revolution in it than the French r.
But no sibilants, other than the usual s.

What am I supposed to do? It's ridiculous. I stated in a post that the term "cocksucker' was offensive which it obviously is and then all this started. I can't believe that these so-called progressives are so upset about losing their modern day term of 'nigger' is to them, so they can feel superior to other human beings.
We want equal rights which you hetero devils block for us. Get it?
I'm not blocking anything. You have no idea who my friends are, where I grew up, who my relatives are, and you know nothing about me. Paint me any color you want to, but until you've met me and lived with me -- or at least worked with me -- you know nothing about me.
And, if you want heteros to quit with the name calling, you're going to need to quit doing it, too. If you don't, you have no real right to expect anything better in return.

vowels can be quite subtle - i'm going to have to get a finnish tape & practice. As for 'r', i think every language has a different one!

is there a difference between giving offence and giving shit?
i reckon there is.
giving shit is generally funny, imaginative and brings two people closer. a positive affirmation of the self confidence of the other party. a compliment, if you will.
giving offence, is unfortunately, another matter. trouble is, one may start with the act of 'shit giving' and have it turned into 'offence giving' by the recipient.
in summary:
giving shit=fun,
giving offence=annoying as fuck

I guess, time will tell. This is the dental infection from hell. I went to my dentist and my doctor and they both said, Go to the Emergency Room. The first time they lanced the abscess and gave me some oral drugs. It continued to worsen during the day and ended up in my lymph system. I had a CAT scan, numerous blood tests, and an IV full of clindomycin. I guess we shall see.

Morning peeps.
Ror, I read last night that you got a cool job. Congrats.
NTodd's Federalist no.84 excerpt:
'The establishment of the writ of habeas corpus, the prohibition of ex-post-facto laws, and of TITLES OF NOBILITY, TO WHICH WE HAVE NO CORRESPONDING PROVISION IN OUR CONSTITUTION,'
Would that not cover naming post offices and buildings after persons?
Good morning, ql.
And thank you. It does seem as though it will be cool... and I was happy that they told me they'd need a week to work out bureaucratic shit about me needed to be away for a while in late December... and then called to offer the job 7 hours later!
All this means: I've got the job. It doesn't start till Jan 2. So I've told myself I'm going to write the final chapter of my diss this coming week, then go back to New Orleans, though I've no money to do so--I'm planning on sleeping in my car if I can't find some of my old friends and hit them up for a sofa...
Anyway, that's the plan.

Newt Gingrich:
"disposed to usurp"
"Why, for instance, should it be said that the liberty of the press shall not be restrained, when no power is given by which restrictions may be imposed? I will not contend that such a provision would confer a regulating power; but it is evident that it would furnish, to men disposed to usurp, a plausible pretense for claiming that power. They might urge with a semblance of reason, that the Constitution ought not to be charged with the absurdity of providing against the abuse of an authority which was not given, and that the provision against restraining the liberty of the press afforded a clear implication, that a power to prescribe proper regulations concerning it was intended to be vested in the national government."
Well the naming an aircraft carrier after Dubya would be a grant of nobility, and a jinx towards said unfortunate pilots who have proximity to the name.

Ditto would be a lie, except for that first word you used.
"This argument, if it proves any thing, proves that there ought to be no general government whatever. For the powers which, it seems to be agreed on all hands, ought to be vested in the Union, cannot be safely intrusted to a body which is not under every requisite control. But there are satisfactory reasons to show that the objection is in reality not well founded. There is in most of the arguments which relate to distance a palpable illusion of the imagination. What are the sources of information by which the people in Montgomery County must regulate their judgment of the conduct of their representatives in the State legislature? Of personal observation they can have no benefit. This is confined to the citizens on the spot. They must therefore depend on the information of intelligent men, in whom they confide; and how must these men obtain their information? Evidently from the complexion of public measures, from the public prints, from correspondences with theirrepresentatives, and with other persons who reside at the place of their deliberations. This does not apply to Montgomery County only, but to all the counties at any considerable distance from the seat of government."

I am going to make a solid effort to complete it this week. I want to get it right, as it will be the last CD I make for a while, as a vague, disconnected weariness has settled on my mind lately. Nothing to be concerned about, I'm old enough to recognize the first stages of a serious reexamination of my path when I see it--probably has something to do with my 43rd birthday coming fast in January.
I'm really pleased with your appearance in the new CD, a tune called "Stand Clear of the Closing Doors," wrapped around our wonderful subway ride with the two Korean ladies gossiping.
As for jury deliberations on damage awards, I urge any of you, when you find yourself in such a situation, to be modest in amount. Whenever you read about a large award, what you don't read is that later the award is overturned because the amount "shocks the conscience of the court." The damaged party gets nothing. Something to think about when the notion of "tort reform" comes up (as it does again and again). This bit of wisdom I learned from Gerry Spence's With Justice for None--highly recommended, as he has plenty to say about the insurance industry.
Sorry, rorschach, but I think this is generally a good thing.

Fine, cut my legs off as I attempt a snarky response! Cocksucker!
That almost constructs an argument against, than for, FISA and PATRIOT.
However, 'every requisite control' suggests citizens should essentially be granted power and authority on matters with access to transparency.
Cont.-
"It is equally evident that the same sources of information would be open to the people in relation to the conduct of their representatives in the general government, and the impediments to a prompt communication which distance may be supposed to create, will be overbalanced by the effects of the vigilance of the State governments. The executive and legislative bodies of each State will be so many sentinels over the persons employed in every department of the national administration; and as it will be in their power to adopt and pursue a regular and effectual system of intelligence, they can never be at a loss to know the behavior of those who represent their constituents in the national councils, and can readily communicate the same knowledge to the people. Their disposition to apprise the community of whatever may prejudice its interests from another quarter, may be relied upon, if it were only from the rivalship of power. And we may conclude with the fullest assurance that the people, through that channel, will be better informed of the conduct of their national representatives, than they can be by any means they now possess of that of their State representatives."
This would be a states check on PATRTIOT with accompanied infrastructure.
Applying Amendment Nine to this would indeed empower a citizen full transparency?
Well, thanks Ba'al someone's finally doing this.

Congratulations on the new job, ror. It sounds like one that could be loads of fun, especially with your sense of humor.
Okay, nobody asked, but I'm going to tell this story anyway, because it's a quiet morning.
We had it all worked out the day we were to be married: we got the license the day before--Thursday--and had a room in an Irish bar starting at 6. Food, an open bar, a cake. My folks were supposed to take the train down from Syracuse, meet us at 3, we'd be at the Queens Borough Hall at 4:30, get married in a 15 minute ceremony, and go to the reception.
At 10am, my parents called: the train they were supposed to take did not exist. They wouldn't be in until 5, so they wanted us to get married and they'd meet us at the reception. I threw a full-blown bridal snit and refused o get married without anyone in my family there. Thers was great, said we could just tell people we'd done it and then go in first thing Monday, but I was really on a tear.
So Mother Thersites called this judge she knew from her parish. He was out on his boat (!)somewhere down by Coney Island, but he agreed to come to the bar at 7 and perform the ceremony. We ended up being married with all our family and friends around us, between dinner and dessert. The judge did it for two pints of Guinness and a donation to the Irish Famine Memorial.
That man saved my life, I swear.
Well, shit!
The key's not on the second DVD, either.

fundy Americanism: sex = sin and sin = sex. Listening to your phone or dipping into your bank account is 'wrong', but not 'sin'. Looking at your flabby bare ass implies sexual interest, and thus is sin, and must be stopped.
think Clinton ve Dubbyah. Lying us into war, breaking the military, screwing the economy - all that is 'bad' but not sin. But staying out of wars plus building a record economy plus one blowjob from a consenting woman of 23 is a sin, and MUST lead to immediate impeachment.

ugh, i know. well, i guess the standard 'if you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have anything to worry about' obviously doesn't work with this one -- so finally the concept of collective guilt is no longer an abstract. ignorant fucking people...
Good lord Uncle, I didn't know I was on it. Me with my NY accent dood! NTodd delights in it and I am quite proud of it, I must say.
ql in ny
As far as I'm concerned, it wouldn't be New York without you, QL.
You and Historymn provide the only voices on the project that one can validate as genuine NY.
NTodd has a major part, too, sparring with Little Thers over the lack of a kid's menu at Pongsri.
A very noisy affair in which the little one smacks NTodd in the arm really hard, and I feed NTodd's subsequent F-bomb through the echo filter--thanks again to Molly for letting me use this material, as the Little Thers' roaring at the end is priceless.

Diane is celebrating freedom. in this case, the freedom to choose to take the oath on a Qu'ran.
Isn't it amazing that in our earliest days, this nation allowed Quakers to affirm rather than swear, since it was their belief?
Diane.. I think it was.
The argument for net neutrality is in the footnotes to NTodd's link in Federalist 84.
"3. To show that there is a power in the Constitution by which the liberty of the press may be affected, recourse has been had to the power of taxation. It is said that duties may be laid upon the publications so high as to amount to a prohibition. I know not by what logic it could be maintained, that the declarations in the State constitutions, in favor of the freedom of the press, would be a constitutional impediment to the imposition of duties upon publications by the State legislatures. It cannot certainly be pretended that any degree of duties, however low, would be an abridgment of the liberty of the press. We know that newspapers are taxed in Great Britain, and yet it is notorious that the press nowhere enjoys greater liberty than in that country. And if duties of any kind may be laid without a violation of that liberty, it is evident that the extent must depend on legislative discretion, respecting the liberty of the press, will give it no greater security than it will have without them. The same invasions of it may be effected under the State constitutions which contain those declarations through the means of taxation, as under the proposed Constitution, which has nothing of the kind. It would be quite as significant to declare that government ought to be free, that taxes ought not to be excessive, etc., as that the liberty of the press ought not to be restrained."
Can one make an argument that public airwaves, leased and then marketed, construe undue tax upon free speech for net neutrality?
the standard 'if you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have anything to worry about' obviously doesn't work with this one
Well, maybe it would if "you haven't done anything wrong" includes eating right, going to the gym, and generally staying in the sort of shape that looks good w/o clothes.
Given US obesity rates, these guys are going to end up with the scanners stuffed somewhere that makes them walk funny.

Wish I could have let you use my Qu'ran, Diane.
I would rather be sworn in on an issue of Marvel Comics.

And I actually had something nice to say about "Nuke Mecca" Tancredo in the post.

Does that mean we will finally get X-Ray Specs that really work?
Of course, this could only end in tragedy.

Hmm, maybe we ought to get whassisname elected the first LDS President, just so he can oath in on the book of Mormon, and see what that does to the fundies.
the Xtian Right has been coasting on the accumulated capital of years of religious tolerance in th US, to the effect that they pretend - or actually think - that having the same position on some single issue like abortion means they are unitary. They have forgotten that most religious spats grow out of the details; for example, that thousands died in riots in Byzantium over the question of whether the Holy Spirit procedes out of the Father alone, or the Father and Son equally.

"The ones who came before him didn't do anything for us," said Nelly Jorge, who works as a nurse in a Caracas clinic. A fellow shopper, Irma Teresa Lara, chimed in, "The elites satisfied themselves for a long time. Now Chávez has given us education, heath. How could we not be grateful?"

Anyone wanna play guinea pig with me, re: Windows XP Remote Assistance?
I've never tried using it, but grasp the concept, and I can see where it could really help out with that $10 phone support gig with curlytech.
