    I definitely had a problem with the petition in Polanski's defense signed by a bunch of Hollywood types, including people I truly admire (the Coen brothers, fuck! :doh: ). Along with Whoopi Goldberg's "it wasn't rape rape" comment.

    But still I have to say, Rosemary's Baby is a really good movie. :borg:

    Yeah, the alt right invited Milo to both CPAC and UC Berkley. Milo was going to speak at uc until some alt right protesters in black masks showed up and got violent. The college cancelled for safety concerns and the alt right pitched a fit saying the left was fascist because they cancelled milo's speaking. Now they invite him to speak at CPAC where there will be no liberal protests to the same effect as at Berkley. This means they have to own him. The first thing they do is ban Milo from speaking. It seems the only people actually stopping Milo from speaking are right wing elements. Yet they want to blame the left for this.

    Yes, there is a huge problem with that. Since it was so fucking important Milo gets to speak on college campuses they should have to put their money where their mouth is and have that pedophile fuck speak at CPAC. However, free speech has never been a alt right value. People like you need to stop pretending it is because your people just took away a venue you were the only ones who wanted him in.

    I say let he m speak for you like you wanted weeks ago.

    So you've used a conspiracy theory and an assumption regarding my political views. Regarding Milo, I never even heard of him until a couple of weeks ago. He did speak the truth though. Homosexuals do attempt to target and groom children.

    This is a great analysis of the situation.
    Her style is a bit long winded, but stick with it.

    scout leaders and sports coaches, too.

    ever notice how many fields that attract kiddy fiddlers are also occupations favoured by traditionalist conservatives?

    What does the title of the ad you posted to Craigslist Casual Encounters have to do with any of this?

    Over at 4chan I often see bait posts about feminists, blacks, gays, muslims, jews, you name it. All the posts have one thing in common, they are carefully constructed to make young white males mad. These guys that respond to them become whirling dervishes. It wouldnt surprise me one bit if this Milo guy is paid to act like that from some alt right website or some shadow group.

    "It is horribly ironic that of all the disgusting nonsense Yiannopoulos has said — about women, about Muslims, about transgender people, about immigrants — it is only now that the moderate right appears to have reached the limits of what it will tolerate in the name of free speech. The hypocrisy is clarion-clear: This was never, in fact, about free speech at all. It was about making it OK to say racist, sexist, transphobic, and xenophobic things, about tolerating the public expression of those views right up to the point where it becomes financially unwise to do so. Those suddenly dropping Yiannopoulos are making a business decision, not a moral one — and yes, even in Donald Trump’s America, there’s still a difference. If that difference devours Yiannopoulos and his minions, they will find few mourners."

    First of all, piñatas do not belong at Super Bowl parties.

    Second, fucking it in the ass and then saying "okay, now you do me" is not how piñatas work.

    Does anyone think for a minute that Milo's book didn't contain the story of his childhood sexual victimization?
    That Simon & Schuster isn't dropping him for something they were perfectly happy to publish before?

    Whatever happened to personal responsibility and taking responsibility for the things you say?

    These lame alt right people are fucking crybabies, a weak and watered down version of a conservative.

    I think Dopey there just presumed that the victims of institutionalized abuse were the whiners you were referring to.
