Yeah, so it is a campus policy bill that makes funding dependent on implementing these policies. Regardless of whether or not the bill has consequences beyond the campus, it is effectively inverting in dubio pro reo which is pretty much the gateway to totalitarianism, You could make a case for a less harsh view of this bill if the accuser would have to prove that they never gave affirmative consent or revoked it at some point, but even that would not make the totalitarian picture much prettier. Pretty much most times sex evolves from a prior unrelated chat and then some non-verbal clues, so you're basically going against nature. But worse it seems like it is interpreted that the defendant has to prove that there was consent, which is pretty much turning a free nation into a totalitarian state where people can be denounced like it happened to jews, heretics, infidels etc. So you may be right that nobody may have gone to prison because it is campus funding law only at this point, but it doesn't change neither the essence nor tone of it and if this ever gets adopted beyond campus it will mark a dark chapter in human history. At least now parents can decide whether to send their sons(/daughters) to such a campus or not. When you give up the in dubio pro reo principle and invert the proof of guilt to a proof of innocence, the "free" country will cease to exist and give reign to institutional terror - which is why it dates so far back as the Romans and even Aristotle.

in dubio pro reo

Can you please point out where in the statute you believe that has been repealed? As you noted, the statute addresses funding and requires institutions to formulate policies, but none of those repeal in dubio pro reo. It would be a defense, for example, to say that the complainant said "yes". Even if the complainant claims later to have been so intoxicated as not to understand the meaning of the word "yes," the burden of proof remains on the complainant.

It hasn't been explicitly repealed and since it is a funding law only, it should have no bearing on criminal law (doesn't mean though it cannot wreck someone's career/societal future).

If you interpret it that way, it obviously seems less harsh and more in line with common standards of criminal law. But many do interpret it as an inversion, that's why apps have come out and become popular where you sign your consent digitally, or at least many record their adventures with their phone now (thus involuntarily making porn that could leak) to be on the safe side. And the few prominent cases also point to interpretation of inversion, e.g. nobody seems to have asked the mattress girl to produce any proof of the alleged rape, instead Nungesser had to come up with stored text messages that clearly indicated her sexual interest and raunchiness on and around the date of interest. What if he had deleted that thread or lost/upgraded his phone? He certainly wouldn't be in the better position he is in today after almost losing everything.

in the manosphere echo chamber, polluted by noise from that guy. In real life, however, rape remains difficult to prosecute, partly because nobody serious has proposed repealing in dubio pro reo. Nungesser was never prosecuted, let alone convicted. I can agree that some people took the accuser's side, which is a common problem in commercial media, but that happens every time a prosecutor does a "perp walk" and claims to have caught "the bad guy." It reminds me of a cartoon, where a guy says he hopes his conviction in the media will be overturned in the courts. BTW, Nungesser is actually suing Columbia for that, and he may have a case.

5   mell   2015 Sep 22, 8:10pm  

Fair enough, it remains to be seen how this law plays out as it is still fairly young and we probably only hear about spectacular cases. WRT to the manosphere, the alleged hate-speech you reference from Roosh V. wrt to rape on private property was supposedly sarcasm/satire as commented by Roosh V. himself. Arguably distasteful, but if the SPLC puts him on their hate-org list they pretty much have to put most of the 2nd and 3rd wave radical feminist groups on that list too, who with predictable frequency tweet and post calls to violence and death against men. I also once linked a skype interview of Roosh and a self-declared feminist writer/journalist where the two had a really great conversation going despite quite opposing views at http://hyperallergic.com/199218/what-happens-when-a-feminist-artist-interviews-a-pickup-artist/
Roosh has a big provocateur jerk mouth and but is not the monster he is portrayed to be IMO. I prefer the writings of Rollo Tomassi (a married guy who is considered part of the manosphere) at the rational male blog who are very scientific, (sometimes philosophic), logic, and free of polarization or spiteful attacks.

Good article, nice guy, but consider. Where he refers to "a Muslim nurse," for example, try substituting "a nurse who is a smoker." Would that be an argument in favor of smoking, or against restrictions on smoking? Of course not. Restrictions on smoking are not "tobacco-phobia," they are simply recognition that smoking kills people. ''Cigarettes are the only legal product that when used as intended cause death," and Islam is the only religion that combines Old Testament violence with New Testament global missionary proseletyzing. Considering that Muslim terrorists have killed more Americans than all other terrorists combined in the last 50 years (at least), while comprising only 1% of the population, the concern is not a phobia.

Please direct your statement to Elizabeth of Windsor, who worked as a mechanic during the war.

8 Things You May Not Know About Queen Elizabeth II

She drove a truck during World War II.

After months of begging her father to let his heir pitch in, Elizabeth—then an 18-year-old princess—joined the Women’s Auxiliary Territorial Service during World War II. Known as Second Subaltern Elizabeth Windsor, she donned a pair of coveralls and trained in London as a mechanic and military truck driver. The queen remains the only female member of the royal family to have entered the armed forces and is the only living head of state who served in World War II.

She sent an email in 1976.

On March 26, 1976, Queen Elizabeth sent her first email while taking part in a network technology demonstration at the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment, a research facility in Malvern, England. The message was transmitted over ARPANET, the forerunner of the modern Internet. She is considered the first head of state to have used electronic mail.

Damn, that's pretty cool on both counts.

@Dan8267, I wanted to ask you about the comment I've quoted below. I missed what it was based on, and wonder if you have a link?

Dan8267 says

no one can be as homophobic as CIC without being a repressed homosexual.

If you had said Fap33/Bap33 or Fortwayne/Forthood, I would certainly agree. Regarding CIC, though he says occasionally crazy things to criticize President Obama, I hadn't noticed much of a pattern other than trolling two of my favorite commenters into extraordinary flame wars. (Trying to understand those is a bit like trying to understand WWI. It's possible to identify villainous acts and legitimate grievances, but the reactions get sometimes over the top, and people wonder what was it all for.)

Dan8267 says

no one can be as homophobic as CIC without being a repressed homosexual.

CIC is obsessed with Georgie's Alibi, a typical restaurant/bar in Fort Lauderdale that is supportive of gay rights and marriage equality. It's not actually a gay bar. If it weren't for the rainbow flags, you wouldn't distinguish between it and any other place like Brewskis or Miler's Ale House or a thousand other inside/outside bar restaurants. I went there a total of three times in my life. The first two times were with coworkers while I was working in Fort Lauderdale. The third time was to prove to all PatNet that CIC is a coward who would not show up to a public place after begging like a slut for my home address.

I picked Georgie's just on the million to one chance he did show up. I knew he was a major bigot and homophobe and I'd love to expose his vileness in public. If he had shown up and acted like he does on PatNet, there's a damn good chance he would offend the wrong person and get the crap kicked out of him and I'd post the video on YouTube. Of course, the coward chickened out like he always does.

Nonetheless CIC is obsessed about this place and mentions it in every third post he makes. I'm thinking he's fantasizing about all the gay stuff he imagines goes on at the place like men screwing on the tables. He's even written about these fantasies on PatNet. Again, the actual restaurant is no different from any other south Florida bar restaurant except for the rainbow flags, and that's mostly just solidarity. Yes, many gay people support the business, but so do a lot of straight people. It has good food, strong drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere, and you can eat lunch outside pretty much all year round. But that's common in South Florida so it's not at all special.

CIC is also obsessed with homosexuality, bringing it up pretty much at the drop of a hat, any hat, no matter how irrelevant it is to the conversation. He tries to insult people by calling them gay, which is like trying to insult people by calling them blue-eyed when they are not. Am I suppose to think that having blue eyes is bad?

He also gets really upset when I say he must be a repressed homosexual to be so obsessed about it, much like Fort Wayne. This just makes me even more suspicious.

I've always said, the more sexually repressed a society or an individual is, the more perverted and self-loathing it is. CIC and the Middle East are perfect examples of this principle.

Fortwayne/Forthood did that many times, and when I started pointing it out with links to prove it, he put me on Ignore because he couldn't handle the truth. CIC/Ironman just keeps on trolling, which seems to be a hobby for him: once he gets a rise out of someone, he tries to reel in whoever took the bait.

I agree, but it seems like you've maybe done that to each other. I return to the WWI metaphor: using chemical weapons is bad, mkay? Once both sides have joined in that exchange, it gets complicated trying to sort out who started it or escalated it to its ultimate extent. Several users have asked both of you to end the flame war.

True, but as soon as I told everyone it was a gay friendly restaurant and that if CIC had shown up, he'd make an ass of himself there anyway, CIC hasn't stopped talking about it.

Most of my insults towards CIC revolves are bestiality, necrophilia, incest, and him being a 50 cent whore working out of New Jersey turnpike rest stops. And I'm pretty sure at least two out of those four things are true.

I don't know how anyone could think anything bad of you. They might not agree with your opinions on things, but I don't see how anyone can argue that your ideas aren't well thought out and well-communicated. You seem to always keep your cool no matter how rude someone else is to you. I've never seen you engage in petty verbal sniping. Perhaps some people simply feel insecure around such an obviously highly intelligent person. So they lash out and call you a troll... Or perhaps I'm never on the site when you go into Hyde mode. But I've been here a long time. It seems statistically unlikely that I wouldn't have caught you just once as Mr. Hyde, if it were in your nature to be so.

You forgot to add your fondness of posting naked pictures of your gay, fat, old boyfriends from Georgie's.

You can be the judge.

CIC fantasizes that Georgie's is like the Blue Oyster from the Police Academy films with men screwing each others on the tables. Reality is much more boring. And being gay is not a prerequisite to have lunch there. It's not like they check.


That's one swinging orgy.


It's pretty sad if you are so insecure about your own sexuality that the above images frighten you.

Only the weak minded who cannot justify their positions do. There's actually only a few trolls on PatNet, but they the most vocal members.

The thing is, you can completely disagree with someone and still not be an ass, but America is soooo polarized today that it's impossible to talk about politics or religions without someone making it into a war. Of course, this is why places like PatNet are needed in the first place. You really can't talk politics today except anonymously online.

FortWayne says

Gay marriage

Well that didn't take long. I had wondered why militant closet case Forthood cared about whether landlords allow pets. He and his church twisted his pathetic brain so badly against itself that even a city council meeting about landlord/tenant issues and pets, with no mention of homosexuality whatsoever, reminds him of gay marriage. His own loveless marriage, retching in a cloud of flatulence, makes him so miserable that he can only dream of renting an apartment. Maybe the only thing holding him back is a loyal dog, who wouldn't be allowed in a rental. Those pesky liberals never stop trying to help him, but he's determined that they can't save him from himself.

26   Dan8267   2016 Feb 3, 10:09pm  

Yep, both CIC and FortWayne, and Bap33 back when he was still on this site, bring up homosexuality in every thread no matter how irrelevant. They are all obsessed with the subject. Not even openly gay people think about homosexuality as much as those three.

The all wet cuckold chooses to Ignore me, so I can't reply to his latest misleading post, which is about an artist who claims to have been punched by a Republican.

@Patrick, how is it free speech to say that he can block a clearly relevant comment on "his" post to your forum, but I can't even relocate a clearly off topic comment from "my" post? It looks like a double standard favoring those who choose Ignorance.

Anyhoo, I will reply here, and link to his misleading post.

The all wet cuckold posted a photo of a woman who had got a bruise, probably caused by someone else in a way that should not have happened. What seems to upset him though is not that it happens all the time especially among Muslim populations, but rather that the motive in this particular case was allegedly not Islam but rather because she had made fun of a Republican candidate.

Our "allies" in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia would have executed her if she had made fun of their prophet, and killed anyone who said she should be spared, because that is what Islam commands them to do. It is official government policy there, as per Sharia, which more than 80% of Muslims in Pakistan support.

Meanwhile, in Bangladesh, which has a secular government (thanks to the Soviet Union) but a Muslim majority, she would have been hacked to death by vigilantes who would never be prosecuted.

Instead, because she is in a country that has not yet imported too many Muslims, her allegations will be investigated and if substantiated the assailant will be arrested and prosecuted. BTW, we don't even know how she got that bruise, she might have been beaten by a Muslim as per Islam and turned it into a chance to achieve international fame as a purported martyr in the jihad against the only candidate who speaks candidly about Islam. (Honorable mention to Hillary Clinton for acknowledging that lethal terrorism "is clearly rooted in Islamic thinking," though her past policy decisions have tended to unleash more of it, for example in Iraq, Libya, and Syria.)

HydroCabron says

his Mormon background taught him

...the similarities between Joseph Smith's Moronic Cult and Mahamed's fraud. Smith seems possibly to have modeled his own life and doctrine on Mohamed's. The polygamy, prohibiting alcohol, raising a private army, massacring infidels, self-deification, etc. Luckily, once Smith began building his own private army and threatening his neighbors, they had the good sense to kill him and drive his deluded followers out of the country. Romnesia's Moronic Cult has prioritized campaigning against marriage equality since the 1970s, including Prop H8. It doesn't surprise me at all that a Moron would want more Muslims in this country.

It saddens me though that the two fastest growing religions on earth are Morons and Muslims. Ultimately, neither can tolerate the other, so they'll have to battle it out at Armageddon or everywhere.

LOL - look up that word, including its etymology. You're so deluded you don't even know what you're saying. It applies to the majority of Muslims though, because they believe in replacing our system of man-made laws with Sharia, which they claim (absurdly) isn't man-made. They would cut off your head, even if they have to pull it out of your posterior first, because Islam commands them personally to do that.

I would have created a Healthcare system from education to staff the Government hospitals, where the staff have to work to pay off their Medical degree.

That is how Mexico achieves 90% lower costs in the medical, dental, and vision sectors. It would take a generation to implement here, although it could go much faster if we allow people with degrees from Mexico and India (among other places) to practice here. Instead, we got NAFTA for the manufacturing sector, and protectionism for the medical sector, so we see lower wages and higher costs.

YesYNot says

Do you have a link for what Stein said about the pipeline?

Here, @YesYNot.

PatNet has a thread on the pipeline deals. Dr. Stein is correct about this issue, but the all wet cuckold chooses to Ignore the reported facts and attack instead with sarcasm. As the map tweeted by Dr. Stein shows, the two proposed pipeline routes are:
1) Sunni: Persian Gulf -> Saudi Arabia -> Jordan -> Syria -> Turkey -> Europe
2) Shia: Persian Gulf -> Iraq -> Syria -> Mediterranean, then either by ship to Europe or subsea pipeline under the Mediterranean via Cyprus, Greece, and then Italy.
Contrary to misleading tweets in the all wet cuckold's thread, the Tabriz–Ankara pipeline does not connect the Persian Gulf gas fields to Europe, nor even Turkey. Tabriz is nearer the Caspian Sea than the Persian Gulf.

The purposes of the wars and sanctions are (1) to preserve Saudi Arabia's market share, and (2) to spread Islam by pumping Sunni Muslims into NATO countries. Libya could have piped gas under the Mediterranean Sea to Italy, but Hillary's War prevented that; today, the Libyans can't secure enough of anything to compete with the Clintons' Saudi sponsors. That was likewise the purpose and effect of the Bush/Clinton wars and sanctions against Iraq.
