They could fill a bar with it and call it "The Salty Pence".

I'll shut up now.

Maybe crocodile skin is salty and they're just getting their daily sodium intake?

Hey... I live in Greenville, TN.. Also, this style of video reminds me a lot of Ze Frank..

Salt is salty.

That is all for my contribution to an actual discussion going on already.

>> ^Bloocut:
Do you have enough information to make a judgment call? Clearly not. Where is pent up racial prejudice contained in Dr.Laura's tirade? Is it her Jewish heritage that gives you the clue? Her valid observations as to the motivations for a large segment of the US voting for Obama and the colloquial terminology among many people of color, i.e. black folks? Perhaps it's her tone and delivery. Oh wait. She used the word "nigger" in the context of the conversation.
You may be right though you can't make a decision based upon this clip-The woman has a hard-on for confrontation with idiots who know next to nothing about raising children from what I can remember about her-She's always been an asshole and a salty, surly dame and pulls no punches when it comes to whiny idiots who call her for advice. Part of her persona to shock folks, doubt she's completely unaffected by racism like you appear CLEARLY to be.


So you're claiming she's not being insensitive in regards to race because she's jewish?

That she and you have enough information to pre-judge the motivations of a large segment of black folk in voting.

And are you really suggesting that the word nigger has some new neutral smiley colloquial connotation?

"Oh I heard some homosexual comedian in the 70's say fag once so.. FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT. What?! Yeah, I know I said the word Faggot in front of this group of young homosexual teenagers seeking advice about the resentment they feel toward the family and friends of their loved ones who constantly make Faggot jokes but know.. FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT. They hear it all the time. Lighten up."

So yes, to answer your question, the prejudice seems to creep up in her nonchalant/indignant tone when telling a patient that she's being uppity for being distraught over for having been called a nigger in her own home.

And the fact that Dr. Laura goes on to extend the caller's "racially hypersensitive" attitude to the majority of the black population is entirely prejudice.
Because it's based on her interaction with Jade, the caller, and probably a limited few others niggers. I mean black folks.

See my point?

p.s. - probably a bit hard to grasp unless you've been called a nigger your entire life

>> ^GenjiKilpatrick:

Yes, it's appropriate for anyone of any skin tone to say the word nigger.
It's a word like any other.
No, it's NOT appropriate however [not to mention blatantly racist as all get out] to say the word nigger 11 times in-a-row then go off on an Obama tangent.
It's hurtful and hateful and clearly spawned from pent up racial prejudice.

Wet, salty badges of emotional truth.

Well sign me up for the test then! Mmmm salty ass...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Someone from the Hate Party told me that Marmite® tastes like salty ass.

Your steaks must taste pretty salty with those tears streaming down your face.

I doubt you're talking to me. I'm a vegan.


So am I.

I'm talking about the vast portion of the populace that condemns this while enjoying a bucket of chicken wings on the side.

@arvana
And yet...on the About Peepoople page, they say this
"The company was founded in 2006 and is based in Stockholm, Sweden."
And this, "The Peepoo toilet is scheduled to be available for delivery in the third trimester of 2010."

I'm not saying it's a scam, but based on the website, it's not actually in production, and several claims struck me as a bit overblown, and self-conflicting.

How much are they going to sell for? I could find no actual numbers about that, just claims that it would be affordable even to the poorest. If someone's making only a few dollars a month, these would have to run around 10 for a penny to be affordable. Somehow I don't see that price being sustainable.

How long does it take to sanitize? In one spot, it says 2-4 weeks, but another says 1-2 years. Probably just a case of a web designer not knowing the material, but still...it doesn't inspire my confidence. I assume that puncturing the bag in less time than whatever-it-takes would release the unsanitized contents into the wild...but didn't see anything addressing that (and to be fair, that's still a lesser problem than the current nothing-at-all solution).

And the sanitizing process is just to add urea? It seems odd that adding a few grams of what's already in urine is enough to sanitize it. I wouldn't call it wrong, but it just seems weird, like saying that adding more yeast to a salty bread would make it sweet.

What I'd like to see is a total cost comparison to a more infrastructure based solution. I suspect that septic tank based toilets would probably be cheaper and more effective over the long run.

Damned stupid quoting system!!!
I guess we'll just have to do without quotes.

Anyone else get really creeped out by the face she made at 3:00?

Nothing like a fresh salty jesus in the mouth though.

Do you mean Malibu inlet, up the north end of Princess Louisa inlet? No, I've never been that far up that way. I was born in Powell River, and have spent many happy summers in the area of the Sunshine Coast however. Nice part of the world, and I've always planned to retire there- or maybe as far north as Ocean Falls. Come visit me in 25 years or so!

If that happened to me, the Environmental Protection Agency would have had me arrested for fouling the waters with my own waste. I envy your experience. Love Vancouver. Have you ever been north to Malibu?

The croc was pretty cool. I might have upvoted if he'd succeeded in stealing dinner from those jerks .

I'm reminded of a story from a few years back. I live in Vancouver and have spent a lot of time out on the local waters and have experienced Killer whales close up on several occasions- once when out alone in a small 12 foot Laser sailing dinghy I was surrounded by a pod of a dozen or so VERY large whales- a little intimidating to be surrounded by those predators who are much bigger than me and the tiny boat I'm sitting in with my butt less then 3 inches from the water. They circled me several times, jumping and spy-hopping to check me out. One of the coolest experiences of my life. But I digress.

There had never been an attack by Killer whales in our waters on a boat or a person, until about 6 or 8 years ago. There was a graddad and grandson out salmon fishing in a small aluminum boat in the waters between Victoria and Vancouver. The grandson hooked a big Chinook and was reeling it in when a Killer whale, who was part of a pod in the area that was feeding on the salmon, decided he wanted that salmon that the kid had hooked. The whale nipped at the fish, taking about half of it off with a little bite, but the kid wasn't about to give in to the whale. He reeled in as quick as he could, the whole while with the whale trying to take the fish.

The kid actually managed to land the salmon, pissing off the whale in the process. The whale banged against the boat several times, nearly upsetting the little craft. Eventually he went away, I presume sulking the whole time.

I dunno, I think I would have let him have the fish.

No problems. People are barbaric. This was an example of that, I suppose. I was more interested in the brave croc that decided to stand up to all five of 'em to try and get a meal.

Thanks for the explanation, Blankman.

Looking at my own comment on your video, I thought I was a bit harsh. Sorry about that, but it really made me angry watching this video and seeing a bunch of fat, rich, ignorant, over-priveleged jerks proving their "bravery" by killing a beautiful animal like that shark. It's exactly this BS that has driven all the great top predators of the world- lions, tigers, wolves and now sharks to the brink of, and sometimes past, extinction.

I might not have been so angry if I hadn't watched the documentary "Shark Water" a few days ago.

From Liveleak:

The video, posted last month by the Cape Don Barramundi fishing lodge in the Northern Territory, records an epic angling saga that pitched man against shark, shark against shark, crocodile against shark and, eventually, man against crocodile.

All appears to be going well when the clip begins, with one of the party land More..ing a fair-sized shark as he fishes off the side of a yacht. Things become more exciting when another shark swims in for an easy lunch, prompting the cameraman to note: "Oh! Another shark's attacking him!"

The valiant angler labours on, and before long the greedy interloper disappears and the thrashing shark is dragged on to the beach with the help of a boathook. But the triumph is short-lived. Within seconds the dark green outline of a saltwater crocodile appears at the water's edge and the reptile dashes on to the beach to make a grab for the shark.

Disaster is averted only by the swift intervention of another member of the fishing party, who leaps towards the thief and delivers a warning blow to its snout with the boathook. Suitably chastised, the croc turns tail and swims off.

The video ends with the slightly shaken group posing for a photo around the unfortunate shark. The man who landed it seems a little distracted and has to be reminded there is a protocol for such occasions. "You've got to do the old put-a-foot-on-its-head thing," the cameraman reminds him.

Crocodiles in the area appear to have realised it is often easier to let the humans do the work. Last November the Northern Territory News reported that a three-metre "saltie" spied on a group of fishermen before tucking into the shark they had just reeled in.

If that happened to me, the Environmental Protection Agency would have had me arrested for fouling the waters with my own waste. I envy your experience. Love Vancouver. Have you ever been north to Malibu?
