What could possibly go wrong with that?

“Prosecutors called Bollaert “vindictive” and claimed he took pleasure out of hurting his female victims with the internet being his “tool of destruction.”

Well, that pretty much describes CCJ to a T.

His Sodom message is almost biblically correct. At least when looked through conservative Christian glasses. He mixes Ezekiel’s explanation of Sodom’s sin (being cruel to the poor and needy) with Jude’s mention of Sodom’s sexual immorality and lusting after strange flesh. The only problem being that this verse in Jude is still ambiguous and doesn’t say that the Sodomites were specifically gay.

Just so.

Word Origin and History for smite Expand
v.
“to hit, strike, beat,” mid-12c., from Old English smitan, which however is attested only as “to daub, smear on; soil, pollute, blemish, defile” (strong verb, past tense smat, past participle smiten), from Proto-Germanic *smitan (cf. Swedish smita, Danish smide “to smear, fling,” Old Frisian smita, Middle Low German and Middle Dutch smiten “to cast, fling,” Dutch smijten “to throw,” Old High German smizan “to rub, strike,” German schmeißen “to cast, fling,” Gothic bismeitan “to spread, smear”). “The development of the various senses is not quite clear, but that of throwing is perh. the original one” [OED]. Watkins suggests “the semantic channel may have been slapping mud on walls in wattle and daub construction” and connects it with PIE *sme- “to smear;” Klein’s sources also say this.

Sense of “slay in combat” (c.1300) is from Biblical expression smite to death, first attested c.1200. Meaning “visit disastrously” is mid-12c., also Biblical. Meaning “strike with passion or emotion” is from c.1300.

App Lets Gun Enthusiasts Track Down Gun Control Advocates’ Home Addresses

thinkprogress.org

“Ladd Everitt didn’t panic when friends and colleagues told him coordinates to his home address and details about where he worked had been leaked on an app that targeted anti-gun violence activists.

“An app in the Google Play Store called “Gunfree Geo Marker” listed the first and last names, social media handles, work phone numbers or addresses, home addresses or name of living complex, as well as location coordinates for activists or people who promoted gun safety regulations, first reported by Fast Company last week.

“Harassment is par for the course,” said Everitt, who is the communications director for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence in Washington, D.C., and learned from others in the gun violence prevention community he had been doxxed a few days before Fast Company published the story.” More

Most right-wing evangelicals wrongly think they are being persecuted when they aren’t allowed to impose their views on everyone else by force.

Speaking of AGW deniers, somebody yesterday posted about a new paper that has been the Denialosphere’s latest darling, on the radiative forcing of aerosols. They’ve all been saying it’s the deathblow to Global Warming - AGAIN.

The lead author on the paper just released his response, which boils down to “You’re full of shit”.

I buy them high quality grain-free dry cat food. Seriously, it costs like $4 lb, but nooooooo that’s not good enough. They wanna have an intifada over the lack of the (gross, IMO) Friskies Ocean Whitefish & Tuna “classic pate” that they seem to love so much. Go figure.

re: #122 CuriousLurker

Yeah, it’s weird how preoccupied they are with gay sex.

There’s a lot of gay sex they’re not at all interested in. They’ are specifically and emphatically preoccupied with the imagine of a man being penetrated by another man.

And I will again expound my theory that this is the central image because it elementarily contradicts their base assumptions about how gender and sex work: men fuck, women are fucked; men pursue sex and getting off, women are passive receptacles of male sexuality.

Men who get fucked (even by women) are aberrant. Women who pursue sex as the active party are aberrant. When they do get around to caricaturing lesbians, it’s as mannish women (often with direct reference to a penis-substitute) or an asexual.

Given that they frame gayness as social disease—something that can be learned and unlearned—anything they attribute to “gayness” is really a statement about all gender norms and sexual behaviors. Their solutions will mean policing everybody, all the time.

That’s also the basis for adultery being a big no-no. If all women are property than engaging in adultery is theft from another man in some way.

I’ve never understood this.

Rationally, gay male couples each remove two competitors for the women, whereas gay FEMALE couples reduce the pool of available women. You’d think any rational guy would ENCOURAGE his guy pals to pair up, and would panic at the thought that two hot women might find each other more attractive than him.

Then again, I’ve never found male homosexuality frightening or disgusting, or for that matter even interesting or alluring, so that could be part of why I can’t understand.

Heh that’s a good point. I believe I’ve made that joke before. I’ve never understood why guys especially feel threatened by gay guys too. Okay, they’re gay. Big deal. I don’t shake hands with someone and immediately think about their sex lives. I’m of the opinion that even if sexuality were a choice, it wouldn’t bother me. If two consenting male adults or two men adults or whatever want to have sex, that’s fine and none of my goddamn business.

Our 19 year old American Eskimo Miniature has become terribly picky about her food. She won’t eat the same food 2 days in a row. One day she’ll wolf it down like it’s the best damn thing on the planet, and the next day she turns her nose up at it, but will wolf down something else. Or she’ll eat something every day for a week, then go completely off it.

I think they really see gay men as caricatures. I remember one of the first people I met who disclosed he was gay to me was someone I never would have otherwise guessed was gay. I didn’t feel threatened at all by that. Why should I? He was a genuinely nice guy and even if he was attracted to me, he knew I wasn’t into guys and respected that. It’s just like you’re not going to be attracted to every women you meet or woman you become friends with. I have female friends that while I can certainly find them attractive don’t feel attracted to. It’s the same thing with gay men and women and why the lockerroom paranoia is so funny.

My understanding - and I heard this from a professional marriage therapist - is that the whole straight/gay thing is less rigid - heh, heh… I mean, less hard and fast - heh… I mean less categorical than it is with men, and even that isn’t simply a one/the other thing, So, it’s entirely plausible for a woman to see herself as straight, but find herself attracted to another woman, and even MORE attracted to her than to a man.

But I’m a guy who has never had any interest in anything but women, so I can only tell you what I’ve heard.

158 HappyWarrior  Apr 3, 2015 2:52:03pm

The other thing is anti-gay bigots go “think of the kids, what will I tell my kids” Well in my observations, children tend to be pretty open minded because they see two people who love each other. And that’s what this is. Wingers try to claim that homosexual couples aren’t stable which is really silly to claim considering we got record highs in divorce rates among straight couples. And even if so, people fall in and out of love, it’s not unique to gay men by any means. My father is the only one of his six siblings not to have a divorce or annulment.

re: #138 The Ghost of a Flea

You certainly have a point there. There are nuances (Robertson et al. would also consider the penetrator abnormal), but being penetrated and perceived loss of manliness is the “focus” here. In ex-Soviet prisons an active homosexual partner is not considered abnormal, while the penetrated (any penetrated, even if he’s being punished by mistake and has had a high rank before) automatically belongs to the lowest prison caste.
