Rude Guy Gets Pepper Sprayed

rbar says...

@enoch I agree he is an asshole for trying to get in front of her in the line (which started all this) and for trying (and succeeding) to agitate her. I may have missed it, I didnt hear any "rape culture". Perhaps I dont understand what is meant with that?

To me it seemed the lady was much more (Physically) aggressive than the gentleman. He was being a douche, she was being aggressive which just motivated him to agitate her more.

Tolerating physical action based on verbal abuse opens up a can of worms. All of a sudden we put the judging into the hands of random people. Everything someone says can then be interpreted as abuse and lead to physical reaction. What about a look? Is looking weirdly at someone considered abuse and therefor liable to physical deterrent? Is tasering someone considered ok next to peper spraying them? What about shooting? Where does it end?

That is a slippery slope. I am guessing here, but legally I think verbal abuse is a minor offence, physical action is a major offence.

Was it the employee of the shop or the agitating gentlemen that got fired?

Firing the employee of the shop for not stopping the gentlemen seems extremely harsh. You are depriving someone of their livelihood for not judging well enough if someone else goes over an arbitrary line.

If it was the gentlemen that got fired, well, still harsh. He was being an asshole for sure, but firing someone for that? Does that mean that everyone who is an asshole in traffic should get fired? I think there would not be many employees left.

Eric Idle from Monty Python: "I like Chinese"

vil says...

The "mild racism" is in your head.

Firstly by thinking of the "chinese" as a "race".

Also the song is only funny if you get the joke and then it is mildly anti-racist. Also only mildly amusing.

Imagine an analogous song about "russians" - would that be mildly racist? If sung by a respectable coloured gentleman? Or would it simply be on the cusp of being amoral, like all humour?

Of course if russians had tiny trees they would be the biggest tiny trees in the world, ever.

Pixels review - he really didn't like this movie..

Djevel says...

Kinda feel the same way ninety seconds into this review as the gentleman stated he felt after ninety minutes into the film in question. I would wager to guess that this is his shtick and his other reviews tend to run in a similar, vitriolic vein.

Magician suprises Ellen with up close Magic

Payback says...

Slight of hand and misdirection.

For example, the "pick a card" segment...

With a bit of practice, anyone can make a certain card stay on the top or bottom of the deck while shuffling. Practised talents like this gentleman can then pull that same card out and show it no matter where he seems to pull it from the deck. She actually made it easier for him by choosing the top card. It was always what he was going to show her.

Everything else is just pickpocket talent and shell games.

Cops Tazer Horse Thief, Then Beat And Kick Over 50 Times

Payback says...

Is it just me, or does the latest round of police abuse seem to be lazy?

That one cop didn't want to run after that one gentleman, so he shot him.

These ones seem to be pissed off they're out running around after this guy.

After viewing this video, and taking note of the different nuances and and factors in owning contrivances of this sort, I have come to the inescapable conclusion that this gentleman needs to take my money. Now.

Daily Show - A "How To" on ridding a city of homelessness

desertdawg says...

We never did learn what job he had? The gentleman says the house enabled him to get a job, in the video. But, they don't tell what job he has. I see him sitting behind a counter with a clip board. It makes me think he deals with the public. If I understand what causes homelessness, it is not being able to afford a house. But, again, this man says the home enabled to get a job. My best guess is that he works for the apartment complex where he lives. Where do the other residents work?

10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Woman

newtboy says...

My advice would be to take them on an individual basis. If they look like this woman, already quite bothered and unhappy, just don't bother. You won't get a good response. If they are happy, look comfortable in their surroundings, and don't give you a dirty look when you catch their eye, just be a gentleman and not a smarmy asshole...at least that goes for any woman I would have liked to hang with.

As to 'marking yourself unavailable', I have to say, wearing a wedding ring (what I would call 'marking myself unavailable') actually had the opposite effect for me. Before I wore one, I was never hit on by a woman in an obvious way, afterwards it was almost silly how often women (and even totally inappropriately aged girls) just walked up to me and offered sex. Perhaps it's not the same for women, but I can't imagine most catcallers would care they were 'taken', and might actually be encouraged by it, oddly and sadly.
IF men and women would recognize and respect such a 'marking', I would wholeheartedly advocate it. It could eradicate a gaggle of issues.

So, as a practical matter... how do you approach a stranger on the street when you're interested in them?
Or is it simply that people 'out and about' are categorically off limits to approach?

I get that this looks bad - when you condense a day's worth of calls into a few minutes. But she prolly passed 100k people in that day just walking around.

(There were 3k kids in my high school, it didn't look like a lot when you see them all together at a rally. It isn't hard to imagine walking past 30 high schools worth of people on busy streets like NY has in a 1 day period).

All this video makes me think is that Indian women are onto something with that forehead dot business. Marking yourself as available/unavailable would not only spare yourself the pointless calling, but would also not waste the men's time on approaching women that have no interest in being approached.
