Isn't Carrier "bi", you know a whole 0.5 on the Kinsey scale? Which would mean he doesn't exclusively like PIV sex right? Or does the 0.5 mean he just likes kissing guys or something :rolleyes:

Not to mention, I am not all that familiar with the details of sex reassignment surgery, but don't post-op trans women essentially have a vagina anyway?

I don't think so. Carriers claim to alternative sexuality is to be polyamorous which means he's interested in banging a bunch of hot chicks. IIRC it was one of the reasons he gave for breaking up with his wife.

I think the constructed vagina thing is falling out of favour nowadays however if one opts for the full meal deal one can purchase special tampons with a little vial of red liquid inside that bursts when it warms up to body temperature.

In carriers case the question didn't specify vag/no vag and from Carriers response it was implied that he wast thinking about a still relatively intact transwoman.

Stunning and brave, coming out of the closet like that.

It's the nature of fascism. Eventually they all turn on each other. It's all quite predictable.

I think you are right that Fascism does tend to eat itself, but that's only after Fascists can no longer impose their will on others (i.e., new dupes or outsiders)...and this seems to be happening now at Free Thought Blogs. After FTB's momentum was pretty-much shut down by guys like Thunderf00t, the Amazing Atheist and a silent Cabal of other leaders in the movement, then the only thing they had left to attack was each other.

It's so beautiful to watch those Free Thought Bloggers eat each other alive.

Please excuse me, Im on a drug called methotrexate at the moment, and it has transformed me into quite the tard.

Ah methotrexate, have all the fun a feeling hungover without the bother of drinking (took my last dose for the week this morning). Probably doesn't get much recreational use (as far as drugs go that is).

Who blocked who now?

I wish I could retain the basic facts about these people. They appear to be were important in skeptic circles, but I havent the foggiest who they are.
Click to expand...

FTFY. Most of these people were important in skeptic circles if they ever got that far. Myers is probably the one who ended up falling the most after all this A+/Elevatorgate crap.
 
Looks like the Warriors bullied an autistic man at Skepticon. I guess they didn't notice his red badge.

And for further comedy, this took place on a panel about racism. An all white panel, that is. Aren't they supposed to shut up and listen?

It was really quite the ****show. Danielle started off by apologizing profusely for failing to rustle up any POC for the panel, and finished up (after the talk) by apologizing again and publicly disassociating from Mark while accusing him of saying indefensibly racist things. More details here: http://www.skepticink.com/backgroundprobability/2015/11/16/lessons-from-skepticon-sk8/

The other talks were fine though. Missed you again this year, man. Would've bought you a gelato if you'd showed up.

I doubt I'll ever return after crap like this. Plus, the new location sucks. When it was downtown, you could walk a few doors down to the pub during SJW talks.

Also, I heard that attendance is way down, barely 100 people there. Maybe 120, from reports I'm getting.

From d4m10n's article.

Overall attendance has decreased somewhat, with Bo Bennett estimating 150 people in the audience while he was on stage.

I'd recommend reading the whole thing because there's gems like these with a picture of it in the comments.

Even the urinals are covered up, so as to prevent attendees of any gender from dealing with the unsightly spectacle of bipedal micturition.

I really, really hope that all those urinals were actually out of order. Otherwise, why cover them up? If they are allowing women to use the men's room, fine, but covering up urinals will make the men's room a more welcoming place? If the entire audience is only 150 or so, I can't imagine lines to use the women's room even if they were being cruelly barred from the glory of the one or 2 stalls in the men's.

If you don't understand, then you are part of the problem.

So the toilet thing was deliberate. Pro-tip crazy SJWs, we men are going to pee standing up and it's more sanitary to do that in a urinal rather than deal with the backsplash in a normal toilet.

It also uses less water.

Eta: But why be more hygenic and eco friendly when you might offend someone with the sight of a male specific toilet in a men's room.

I first heard Maryam Namazie speak at the World Humanist Congress in Washington, D.C. two years ago; she's an ex-Muslim atheist who now fights against Islamic extremism in Britain (and assists greatly with similar efforts around the world). She was an incredible speaker, very clearly differentiating her opposition to extreme Islam, and dislike of Muslims in general. She's also an incredibly brave woman, in that she's received numerous death threats as a result of her work.

A bit of sanity over at FtB from Maryam Namazie

http://freethoughtblogs.com/maryamnamazie/2013/08/09/report-them/

Of course she is already being attacked by some in the comments and one wonders just how long she will still be welcome over there.

Much longer than I would've predicted, to be honest, although I would point out that she is getting way more blog support from outside of FtB than from within it these days.

In the latest kerfuffle, a small group of Muslim university students tried and failed to "safe space" her into shutting up about their beloved religion.
