Amazing Little Girl Shows How to Right And Self-Bail Canoe

A transgender child and a family's unconditional love

Shepppard says...

This is a great story of parental acceptance, I guess I just don't understand what's wrong with staying a girl but identifying yourself as a girl who likes boy things.

Granted, that may be harder to accept, but shouldn't that truly be the overall message of acceptance? Accept who you are, love yourself, and if society doesn't like it, fuck society?

I guess explaining that to a 5 year old would be tricky, though.

Emily's Abortion Video

charliem says...

Believer in euthanasia? Yes, as a basic human right. If someone has suffered through a terminal illness for so long, that they no longer have the will to live, and medical science has expended all treatment options available, is it morally correct to let that person to continue to suffer through the agonising pain until their body collapses? Or is it more moral to allow them to have control over when they leave this earth, and in what manner it is done?

Either case - this isnt about euthanasia.

An abortion can only be medically acheived safely up to the 2nd trimester, and it gets tricky in the third as the embryo is large enough and involved into the mothers own body that it has the potential to cause more harm than if it was done earlier.

'Abortion' (lets just call it what it is, murder..) after birth, at 10 months old...is infanticide, and you can be thrown in prison for a very long time for doing something like that. The child's brain has developed, they breathe, they love, they hear, see, smell, taste, comprehend, communicate....they do everything that a fetus does not do.

They have developed into a human being.

Thats murder.

Terminating an unwanted or unsafe pregnancy is not murder, because its just a couple of thousand cells, not yet developed.

You people are all believers in euthanasia, aren't you?
If a person is unwanted, just kill them.

Why not have abortion to the 19th month? or more? The mother decides she doesn't want the child, she should be able to terminate it, right? It probably is not participating to her satisfaction.

why do we prosecute such women for murder after the child has exited the birth canal?

Hugh Herr: The new bionics that let us run, climb and dance

ChaosEngine says...

That is a valid concern, and it's very difficult to address.

Certainly, bionics for injury victims should be made available through your health system. I'd agree with the speaker here when he says that is a human right.

But voluntary augmentation is a much harder sell. On one hand, the situation you describe (where we have an augmented "caste" and a baseline caste) is certainly undesirable. But equally, it's not really practicable to fund everyone for every augmentation they want.

Tricky question.

Although as Yahtzee says "if there's a conflict between people who have ocean liner pistons for forearms and people who insist that everyone be as shit as they, I know which side I'm on!"

I'm not worried about a loss of humanity or w/e - Are amputees somehow less human because they use a prosthesis? I don't think so.

I'd be more worried about a divide forming between those that can afford to enhance themselves, be it through implants or some sort of genetic modification, and those can't. One would hope that this technology would improve the lives of all humanity and not create a society with a rigid hierarchy with almost no social mobility.

Colbert responds to #CancelColbert

andyboy23 says...

Eh. Ultimately, satire can offend, but its goal is to enlighten people. If it's good satire, there should be a net positive societal gain.

I'm arguing that if you end up offending more than you enlighten, there's no net positive societal gain there. Especially if you offend a subset of the very group (targets of racism in this case) than you're trying to uplift with the satire.

It's got to be case-by-case, and it's often a very tough call. As I mentioned above, Dave Chappelle himself, by most accounts a comedic genius, struggled with it immensely in his material. And figuring all of this out is a tricky, ongoing process of discovery and dialog which requires a more nuanced viewpoint and empathy than you're showing a willingness to take on. Honestly it's a lot to process and I often wonder and question my own ability to navigate these issues.

Ultimately, I feel like you and many others just want win an argument and not really have to think about things like this anymore in the future. You want your racial satire and you want your rape jokes without talking about or thinking about any boundaries or grey areas for the purveyors of that comedy, and that's that. Black and white.

If something like this comes up again, welp, you already have an answer for that. You can just pull out your rubber stamp that says:
"It's satire people! Those offended don't get the context of the joke."

Colbert's character is a satire of just that kind of black and white way of thinking, so it's highly ironic for his viewership to mimic it.

ChaosEngine said:

I view it as similar to "rape jokes". It's the target of the joke that matters, not the content as such.

Buts let's say the cotton picking version did air. I wouldn't be telling the black community to "lighten up" anymore than I'm telling the Asian community to lighten up now. It's not about taking a joke, it's about understanding the context of a joke, and realising that you are not the target.

Tricky ~ She Makes Me Wanna Die ~ Fanmade

chingalera says...

That's a good question-I've heard more than a few remixes of this tune it seems but, I'm pretty sure this one is from the soundtrack to the film http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120008/soundtrack 1998

There's another album from the flick that's the original score composed by Harry Gregson-Williams.

Looks like the tricky part would be convincing your feet/legs to run at 8+MPH while your head is going significantly less than that.

Anyway, cool and congrats to him!

Tank brake test

radx says...

A Leopard 2 can reach 100+ km/h on asphalt if you bypass the rev limiter, but steering becomes tricky and the noise unbearable. That said, both Leopard 2 and Marder (IFV, like a Bradley) regularly exceed 80 km/h at the nearby training grounds -- offroad, across muddy fields.

I was surprised when I learned that tanks can do 50+ mph (80+ km/h).

Silicon Valley fights to keep its tax loopholes

artician says...

That's okay, I'm sorry too. I did take some of what you said personally but I'm fine with disagreeing. That's just normal.

You already know I agree with the conclusions of the video. It's entirely how it's presented. I do think it's possible to make one just as enlightening, but readily watchable by everyone. It would be tricky, but so much of the outrage in the US between varying perspectives is inherently so similar, I am waiting for someone to create a video where, (using the tea-party and occupy movements for sake of example), both parties would watch it and go "yeah! That's absolutely right!", and then realize they were entirely in agreement all along. I couldn't make it, but I know someone could.

There will always be areas of disagreement, but I really believe the mass media is keeping us from rational discourse, which is the only thing holding us from compromise and cooperation in turn.

please do not inject a presumed intent.

i was not being a "dick" to you.
i was simply pointing out faulty logic.
which how i see it is being a friend.

i would do the same if your fly was open.

reread my comment.
now take out any intention of mine to be a douche towards you.

notice anything?

my point is simply this:
disagree with the conclusions..thats fine.

but if you are going to point to make an argument criticizing a documentary make sure the logic you use does not work against you.

you think the movie was using heavy fear-mongering and deceitful tactics.
i do not.
in fact i think the director avoided some material for exactly the reason you have stated.

so?
we disagree.
its going to happen from time to time.
sorry you felt i had an alterior motive in regards to your feelings.

just know i do not operate that way.
the only time you will see me being a dick is when someone has thrown the first punch.

maybe i put too much faith in our understanding of each other.
i thought we were similarly minded and it never occured to me that you may take what i posted personally.

my lack of insight has caused this and i apologize.
