Mary Lambert - Body Love

Sagemind says...

My daughter brought this video to my attention. She is in high school and is involved in peer counseling other students. It's not as obscure as you'd think to have this emotion pent up inside our teens and people we know. Mary Lambert just has that amazing talent to get the message out.

TDS 2/24/14 - Denunciation Proclamation

newtboy says...

You are confusing me with others you are 'debating'.
I have always thought that the Union went to war to preserve the union...they did not go on a crusade to eradicate slavery. I'm not sure anyone here has ever made that claim.
And yes, the north sent in the army because the south attacked federal forts and took federal property.
Not sure what you're saying here, you now seem to admit that Lincoln tried compensated emancipation before joining the war, only to be rebuffed by the states...I'm not sure where you get the idea it was only tried in Delaware.
And yes, that's how government works, the federal reps and the 'local' reps hash out the laws...in this case the locals said 'not now, and on our terms if and when' to compensated emancipation, and the federal reps had little backing besides Lincoln.
As I see it, Americans did all of those tactics employed by the British etc. Perhaps the federal government didn't try them all, but Americans did.
Contradictory sentiment, false implication, and simple ridiculousness in the 'charitable' paragraph. "Get one over on the south"? Hmmmm.
When a violent insurrection starts, the present government will nearly always engage in kind.
Peaceful secession may have worked...too bad the south had to get violent first.
Again, to you, are you saying it was all about slavery, or about preserving the union? You seem to flip flop there.
Again you intentionally miss-state the obvious, not when faced with a problem, but when faced with an ATTACK. He didn't go to war with Mary Todd Lincoln, and she was certainly a problem!

Trancecoach said:

Delaware is considered a northern state. Maybe not by you but by others.
And when I lived in Maryland, everyone there seemed to consider it a northern state too. But ok, you don't consider it a northern state. Cool.
(Ask anyone in Boston if he is a "Yankee" and see how that goes!)

But what's your point now? You agree that the Civil War was a "War to preserve the Union, not a Lincoln crusade to end slavery". That's why he did not invade or interfere with the border states. They did not secede. So how is this relevant to the original point about Jon Stewart thinking otherwise and going off on Andrew Napolitano about it? And are you now trying to claim that the north was acting in "self-defense" because of southern attacks on federal forts?


"In 1862, the General Assembly replied to Lincoln's compensated emancipation offer with a resolution stating that, "when the people of Delaware desire to abolish slavery within her borders, they will do so in their own way, having due regard to strict equity." And they furthermore notified the administration that they regarded "any interference from without" as "improper," and a thing to be "harshly repelled.""

The proposal was never put to a vote. It was not tried in other states. And it was not addressed directly to the slave owners but to politicians in the Assembly. No effort was put into it.

Among the tactics employed by the British, French, Spanish, Dutch, Danes, and others were slave rebellions, abolitionist campaigns to gain public support for emancipation, election of anti-slavery politicians, encouragement and assistance of runaway slaves, raising private funds to purchase the freedom of slaves, and the use of tax dollars to buy the freedom of slaves.

The most charitable thing I could say is that Lincoln tried but failed to come up with and implement any other way to end slavery but to engage in 'bloodshed and violence' (putting aside that he claimed to not care to end slavery except as a way to get one over on the South).

Still, that only says something about his competency, his "political genius" as some say (or lack of it), but not about whether there were other options available that could have worked without the 620,000 dead and 800,000+ more maimed-or-disfigured-for-life.

Of course, there is no empirical way to 'prove' or 'disprove' that any more than there is any empirical way to 'prove' or 'disprove' that, without two nukes, Japan would have lost the war, or that without the Korean war, the Communists would have taken over the world, or that without the Iraq invasion, Saddam would not have built "weapons of mass destruction" to unleash on the world.

What if 'peaceful secession' would have neutered the federal enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act (which Lincoln strongly supported), creating a flood of runaway slaves that could not have been stopped and would have broken the back of the slave system'?

The Soviet Union collapsed on its own without the US and its allies going into a bloody war against it. Maybe if the US had started a third world war with the USSR, it would have collapsed sooner. But it certainly would not have been worth the 'blood and violence'. And it is far from certain that the 5 years of Civil War accelerated the end of slavery, while it has certainly served to bolster and continue the decades of segregation, discrimination, and abuse that followed.

The first Republican president seems to have set a precedent for later Republican neocons. When faced with a problem ---> go to war.

10 Things You Didn't Know About South Park

Xaielao says...

The funny thing about the 'Muhammad in a bear suit' is that they had an earlier episode a whole bunch of gods acting like super heroes and he was in it. Nobody made a fuss, nobody got death threats, nobody cared.

Such hypocracy has got to make you laugh. Though I think the episode that got the most grief was the episode were a statue of Mother Mary bled out the ass lol.

Unfortunately, I don't remember the series that well. I missed most of the charm of this -- I'm not a musician, but he could have been helped mightily by some instruments.

I just watched Madonna sing on Macklemore's Same Love grammy performance right before watching this. Maybe that lowered my tolerance for dicey singing.

Although I gotta admire her gutsiness -- singing right after Mary Lambert? And then singing along with her? Gutsy.

Bad singing, backatcha.

I love a good ol marijuana arrest. It's been a while since I last put on the BDSM police cuffs. Read me my Miranda rights and I'll utter the safe word: GUILTY!

Treat me bad, sir. I'm sooooooooo guilty. I smoke mary jane to enjoy the brutality. Front row to the masters of the state.

Alan Shorter ~ Parabola (1968)

oritteropo says...

Interesting looking film! Sedmikrásky (Daisies) (1966) from Czechoslovakia, and according to the IMDB details was released 30 December 1966, and promptly banned by the Government

There was a dubbed French version called "Les Petites Marguerites", since both the girls were called Marie, but it was Daisies in most languages.

TeaParty Congressman Blames Park Ranger for Shutdown

bareboards2 says...

Actually, @silvercord, it was Congress members who moved the barricades so the vets could enter. It wasn't the vets themselves -- they had more respect for the rule of "law."

This shutdown corresponds with thousands of middle schoolers going to Washington DC. Kids, some of the low income, who worked for a year to get the funds to go. They are certainly getting an education about how Congress works.

Walt gives Hank the Wrong CD

Trancecoach says...

If you watch this week's episode of Breaking Bad, it will all make sense. It's even funnier tho if you know the whole context.

Here's the synopsis for this week's episode in which wiki describes this portion of the story as follows:

"Walt and Skyler invite Hank and Marie to a restaurant. The Whites try to convince the Schraders to keep their children out of the situation, but the Schraders refuse to comply; Marie even states bluntly that Walt should kill himself to end it all. As the Whites leave, Walt gives his in-laws a DVD of his "confession." Playing it at home, Hank and Marie discover it is really a form of blackmail accusing Hank of being the mastermind of the Heisenberg empire and forcing Walt to cook meth for him. Hank then finds out that operation and therapy which made him walk again was paid at Walt's expense, from Marie's unwitting receipt of Walt's drug money, which gives credence to Walt's story and torpedoes his own credibility."

I have no idea what is going on here. Can anyone link to the original video so I can get some framing?
