Something has to give.

Do you mean to say that it’s decaying simply because it’s becoming more accepting of those that aren’t traditional?

Well, for starters, political correctness,…

Holy wow…

Oh for the days of people as property, capital punishment for sex acts, lynch mobs, concentration camps (at home or abroad), and upstanding men.

Fun fact, Thomas Jefferson thought it was moral to have a sex slave so he didn’t waste his seed. The seed your body will eject while you’re sleeping and on auto pilot.

Viva la science, understanding, humanism, philosophy and tolerance. Better yet, not feeling threatened by someone else’s ideas or by the way they live.

Other people and ideas are things of interest, not challenges directed at our person or moral code.

Gosh women must be slow or something, I can tell after a cup of coffee, which is why I prefer any first dates be a “Coffee Date”. It rarely takes me more than 20 minutes to finish a cup of coffee, less if the company undesirable….

It has to do with the ovary’s ability to process bullshit made up soft science.

May 2, 1963: The Birmingham Campaign’s Children’s Crusade Begins

On this day in 1963, the Children’s Crusade began as hundreds of students walked out of their classrooms to peacefully protest segregation laws in Birmingham, Alabama. They were met by police officers who were ready to escort them to jail, and later by high pressure fire hoses and police dogs.

It would become a major catalyst for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and usher a new era of freedom and equality in the United States.

Revisit this moment in civil rights history with PBS Black Culture Connection’s Birmingham Campaign collection.

There are far too many people in the world who don’t understand that this is a fundamental principle of science. It’s not a discriminating process, but an unbiased hunt for the truth.

The effects of unchecked criminalization: Teen charged with felony for science experiment

The effects of unchecked criminalization: Teen charged with felony for science experiment:

laurennmcc:

fuckyeahfeminists:

This is what the school-to-prison pipeline looks like. This is how black youth are criminalized.

She was doing a science experiment

She’s being charged as an ADULT

She’s being charged with a FELONY

If this all goes the way the prosecution wants, this young woman will be LEGALLY discriminated against for the rest of her life. No voting, housing discrimination, employment discrimination (as if getting a job while black isn’t hard enough), etc. etc.

Perhaps instead of fighting about who is tougher, Batman or Iron Man, we could spend a little internet rage making sure this young scientist doesn’t go to prison?

From the comments section:

“To everyone commenting on this thread that is outraged by this chain of events: I am just as outraged as you. But it is not enough for us simply to vent on message boards because nothing gets accomplished. I strongly urge you to write a letter to the school district, local authorities, AND to the Principal. Or just pick one…but DO SOMETHING!!! And let us remember that in order to get our points across we must be INDIGNANT and DIGNIFIED! I am in the process of starting a petition, once I have gathered some more crucial facts. Please be on the lookout for this petition and be sure to sign it ( via Change.org ) in addition to your letter or letters to Polk County Law Officials, The school Principal, and the School Administration.

jayparkinsonmd:

Gitmo is having a hunger strike problem:

As of Tuesday morning, 100 of the 166 prisoners at Guantánamo were officially deemed by the military to be participating in the hunger strike, with 21 “approved” to be fed the nutritional supplement Ensure through tubes inserted through their noses.

“We will not allow a detainee to starve themselves to death, and we will continue to treat each person humanely,” said Lt. Col. Samuel House, the prison spokesman.

The military’s response to the hunger strike has revived complaints by medical ethics groups that contend that doctors — and nurses under their direction — should not force-feed prisoners who are mentally competent to decide not to eat.

Last week, the president of the American Medical Association, Dr. Jeremy A. Lazarus, wrote a letter to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel saying that any doctor who participated in forcing a prisoner to eat against his will was violating “core ethical values of the medical profession.”

“Every competent patient has the right to refuse medical intervention, including life-sustaining interventions,” Dr. Lazarus wrote.

He also noted that the A.M.A. endorses the World Medical Association’s Tokyo Declaration, a 1975 statement forbidding doctors to use their medical knowledge to facilitate torture. It says that if a prisoner makes “an unimpaired and rational judgment” to refuse nourishment, “he or she shall not be fed artificially.”
