The evil correlation between OTAKU, Metal and meat consumption
 
Description:
 
People are social creatures, they crave acceptance and meaning. To be ignored is to not exist at all, that is why many of the social dregs will willingly associate. As was demonstrated in Fritz Lang's 'M' such voyaging for acceptance can lead to formation of evil social grouping, dedicated to immoral acts. Back then criminals, pedophiles and corrupt social guardians roamed the streets, reigning havoc amongst the righteous, the innocent the pure.
 
While we are still plagued by such social cretins our society has devolved to include greater deviants, those who indulge in Neanderthal-ic noises they label 'Metal', the pathetic who label themselves 'OTAKU', and the majority of morons who consume meat.
 
The devastation of any of these on a separate basis is cause for alarm itself, but we can see these dregs nowadays collecting together.
My dear... the humanity! The utter utter horror...

Great Article But Off Base with the Christian and Jew References - Will The Violence Ever End?

In fact, instead of comparing the environmentalists and anti-abortion extremists to Christian and Jewish martyrs, I would've compared these extremist groups to the Romans who persecuted the Jews and Christians, as well as to the depraved misguided idiots that thought of themselves as Christians while going around participating in the inquisition, the crusades and witch-hunts.
 
Because the martyrs didn't commit the violence as the activists of today do and support. The persecutors did. I don't know of one anti-abortionist or environmentalist who died for their cause. They The most radical of these extremists try to kill everybody else instead so that's not exactly the same as a martyr now is it?
 
Otherwise, this article has it just about right.

Will The Violence Ever End?

Will The Violence Ever End?

Pity Briana Waters, maybe just a little bit. As she sat waiting for a jury to render a verdict in her Seattle eco-terror arson trial, another Earth Liberation Front conflagration reminded practically everyone in the Evergreen State that violence motivated by environmentalism is a serious, serious problem. Yesterday that jury convicted Waters for her role in the 2001 firebombing of the University of Washington's Center for Urban Horticulture. She faces between five and 20 years behind bars. Less than 200 miles away in Oregon, Michael "Tre Arrow" Scarpitti faces an even longer sentence for allegedly bombing a construction company in 2001. He was extradited from Canada this week after four years of legal wrangling.

What makes single-issue activists tip their mental scales in the direction of explosive devices? Newsweek asked Portland State University emeritus criminology professor Gary Perlstein to weigh in yesterday:

If their cause is to save the environment, how does burning houses, and thereby releasing carbon and toxins into the atmosphere, help achieve that goal?
It's just as logical as the radical anti-abortion activists who killed abortion doctors because they're against murder. We're not dealing with logic; we're dealing with emotional feelings.

How deep-seated are these emotions?
To these people the environmental issues have become a religion. It's beyond the mind. It's beyond even emotion. We're talking about something that's become a religious thing to them the same way people would die rather than give up Christianity or the way the Jews at Masada would not surrender to the Romans. This is the same type of fervor that we're dealing with.

What would you say has been the ELF's biggest "success"?
They've had basically no success. They make people who might be more caring about the environment a little more upset because they commit violent acts.

What can be done to stop groups like the ELF?
What we need to do is very hard because we need to train law enforcement on both the federal and local levels to think in an entirely new way. It's the same as if you asked me about fighting Al Qaeda.

All of this, of course, applies equally to animal-rights-motivated violence. With arsonist par excellence Rodney Coronado back in jail for teaching activists how to build firebombs, and most of the "SHAC 7" serving federal terrorism sentences, it's tempting to believe most targets of the Animal Liberation Front and similar groups are out of the woods. Don't believe it. Animal-rights violence is still a global menace. One look at this website should be enough to persuade anyone.

ROTFLMHO!

I took a quiz on Facebook, "What epoch hero are you?"

And if you know me and are familiar with my online handles and rp/creative
writing characters, this might give you a chuckle as well. My result:

Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark)
Clever and highly intelligent, you are the paradox of the typical classroom
sort. You represent Harrison Ford as Dr. Jones, the most famous adventurer in
American cinematic history. Your quick wit, disarming charm, and unexpected
bravery are easily hidden in your daily rabble and revealed in the quest for the
incredible.

"Indy" of all people! Lol! Absolute coolness, but lololol!

Spam School, So To Speak - ROFLOL!!

Here's an article sassing back at spammers. It isn't written by me, so it's
hilarious IMO. It's also worth sharing because like anything else I don't write
but do share, it is not a chain letter forward. :)

SO TO SPEAK
Listen up, spammers: Your e-mail is stale
Thursday, November 1, 2007 4:06 AM
By JOE BLUNDO

Welcome to the School for Spammers.

Through the years, I've noticed that e-mail spam, while impressive in volume,
keeps getting worse in quality. Even the Nigerian fraud letters no longer ring
with the false sincerity they once did.

So I've decided to offer a remedial course for spammers who might be wondering
why no one orders their fake Rolexes or falls for their bogus European Lottery
messages.

Here are answers to your elementary questions, spammers:

• Is e-mail in Russian an effective way to communicate with an English-speaking
audience?

No -- or, because you seem stubbornly wedded to the language, nyet.

Judging from my e-mail in-box, which resembles the Moscow phone book on any
given morning, you have not quite caught on to the fact that Americans don't use
the Cyrillic alphabet. You might as well be writing in Chinese. Oh, wait, you're
already doing that, too.

So here's tip No. 1: If you want to improve your communication skills, start by
writing in a language that your audience understands. Details matter, people.

• I get poor response to my hoax e-mail informing people they've won $75 million
in an obscure foreign lottery. Should I increase the phony prize money to $100
million?

No, because the next crook will falsely award $150 million and then you'll have
to up your phony jackpot to $200 million. Things could get out of control.

You might have better luck telling people that, for the low price of 49 cents,
you will never e-mail them about a fake lottery prize again.

• If I write "You will love this, Shaun" in the subject line, will you love it?

No. Especially if my name isn't Shaun.

• How effective is bad grammar in making my e-mail more believable?

It definitely beats those spam messages that consist of random numbers and
symbols. Other than that, I don't see it as a winning strategy.

If I'm literate enough to read e-mail, I'm probably literate enough to know that
great stock-market tips rarely come from people who write, "You're next
oppurtunity are now!"

Also, remember that it's difficult to simultaneously defraud people and amuse
them.

That's why this kind of message might not prove convincing: "Notice of Closing
Your Account: To protect your private, we have locked Account # 76245. Please to
reply us urgent."

• When trying to evade spam filters, is it better to write "p*nis" or "p#nis"?

You could spell it "p*#@$" and most guys would get your drift -- because it is
the official body part of the spam world. In other words, they're onto you.

If you decide to forge ahead anyway, watch your syntax. You might imagine that a
subject line reading "We're here for your p*nis" conveys caring and concern
about a man's well-being. But it could also be interpreted as a threat of
confiscation.

Guys are generally put off by that idea.

• Would you like to buy some herbal V1agr@ for only 99 cents a bottle?

Nyet.

Memo To Congress: The Physicians Committee Isn't One

Memo To Congress: The Physicians Committee Isn't One

PCRM adYesterday the grossly misnamed Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) directed its lobbying muscle toward using the federal farm bill to hurt ranchers and other livestock farmers. The group asked its supporters for phone calls to support legislation that would "reduce [farmer] subsidies overall, which means less support for meat."Most federal farmer subsidies, PCRM explained, "support meat, …dairy products, and animal feed." Sounds like PETA, right? That's because the two groups are essentially different sides of the same coin. (For a primer, click here, here, here, here, and here.)Federal lawmakers deserve to know that when PCRM lobbies them, it's an animal rights group talking -- not a mainstream medical charity. So in this morning's issue of Roll Call, we're calling a spade a spade. Click here to read our ad.

Menu labeling has already taken a legal beating in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan and still bears fresh political scars after being vetoed by Governor Schwarzenegger in California. But some politicians just aren't getting the hint. Luckily, in an op-ed in today's Philadelphia Daily News, the Center for Consumer Freedom draws a very simple diagram of the best place to put these food cop warning labels:

Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown's bill -- the latest quick-fix diet scheme proposed in the name of public health -- assumes consumers can't tell the difference between french fries and fruit cups. It would require restaurants to turn their menus into encyclopedias featuring long lists of nutritional warnings next to every item. For most of us, a back page of fat-and-calorie notes would suffice. But Brown, who wrongly believes it will encourage better eating habits, would rather force us to suffer through the informational equivalent of an ice-cream headache before ordering lunch.

Missing Kid Hoaxes Started by the Kids Themselves

Missing Nanaimo Teen Email is a Big Hoax

http://www.canada.com/vancouverisland/nanaimo/story.html?id=4f7749de-8e18-487b-948e-8b30bf42b78a

Furthermore, it's also a rip-off of the Evan Trembley hoax.

http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/evantrembley.html which was started as a
sick joke on Myspace by the real and not missing Evan Trembley himself.

It borrows content from the Ashley Flores hoax
http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/ashleyflores.html
which was started by one of the real and not missing Ashley's friends on Myspace
as a sick joke, and borrows heavily from the Penny Brown hoax
http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/pennybrown.html
which is a mutation of the Kelsey Brook Jones chain, which was true for the two
hours that kelsey was thought missing. Kelsey was found playing, and unharmed
two hours after her mother's initial panic.
http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/kelsey.html

http://www.breakthechain.org/missing.html

People who start hoaxes like that should be penalized, because they are getting
very sick kicks at others' expense!
It's manipulative, attention-seeking behavior on a level that is so low and
disgusting because people are getting jerked around just so a few childish teens
can get their haw-haws.

Ignorance or lack of forethought as no excuse.

Playing pranks on your friends in a social network like Myspace is bad enough,
but when it's in the form of a chain letter, it's not going to stay just among
the friends of the hoaxter. This is because your circle of friends also has
their own circles of friends, which in turn, have their own circle of friends,
so, you start a hoax about yourself as missing or dying or whatever, and your
friends might think it's funny, but somebody else who is listed as one of their
friends but not listed as your friend, looks at this friend's profile and
bulletins, and this stranger looking at your friend's profile, sees your
missing/dying hoax and assumes it's for real, and compulsively passes it along
to their friends, who pass it on to theirs.

So, yet more reasons chain letters really stink, and why starting a hoax might
get you the controll over the masses and the attention you desire, but it could
also land you and those associated with you in a pile of inconvenience if not
trouble.

I'm very sorry for anyone these hoaxes have hurt, from those who were taken in
by them, (hopefully they'll know better than pass on chain email from now on) to
those who are friends of or related to the hoaxter and suffering fallout because
of the hoax.

But as for the hoaxters themselves, I wish they would get a lot more than just a
slap on the wrist for their self-serving, inconsiderate and just plain sick
actions.

Evan Trembley was exceedingly stupid to start a hoax about himself, as was the
friend of Ashley Flores. The guy who mooched off the Trembley hoax and made it
about himself as a missing kid in Nanaimo is just as guilty. Shame on them!

Full article about the Nanaimo prank:

Missing Nanaimo Teen Email is a Big Hoax

Nanaimo Daily News Missing teen e-mail is a big hoax
Plea urging people to look out for Nanaimo boy is a prank that first began in
Texas
Derek Spalding , Daily News
Published: Thursday, October 11, 2007
Nanaimo RCMP say its unfortunate that someone is circulating a fake missing
person notice through e-mail accounts.

Thousands of Harbour City residents have recently received a message in their
inbox about a missing teenager from Nanaimo, but the chain mail is nothing but a
hoax. The message asks recipients to please "pass this to everyone in your
address book" in hopes that someone will have seen 15-year-old Evan Trembley.
After a simple Internet search, however, the real story behind the prank is
revealed.

Evan Trembley of Wichita, Falls, Tex, created a fake Amber Alert with himself as
the missing person. He then sent it out to his friends on MySpace.com. Then a
few people who didn't know it was a joke, sent the e-mail out to everyone on
their list. Police exposed Trembley who said he thought his "friends would
recognize it, get a laugh out of it" and delete it, he told reporters in
Wichita.

****But then people who weren't his friends took it seriously and continued to
e-mail all their friends. Trembley and his mother Tammy said they do not expect
any criminal charges.

It appears someone in Nanaimo decided to localize Trembley's prank and
distributed it throughout the city. Using the same photo and similar
information, Trembley now appears to be a missing Nanaimo boy. This week, the
e-mail reached Robin Dutton, owner of Arrowsmith Bikes, who then forwarded it to
more than 300 people on his mailing list.

"I just thought, if somebody's missing, it doesn't take a whole lot for me to
send it out to everyone in my address book," he said before expressing his
disappointment in the hoax. "I just think it's really unfortunate. I'd like to
think that people have a bit more to do rather than waste people's time."

Obesity Bandwagon Careening Toward Economic Crisis?

Obesity Bandwagon Careening Toward Economic Crisis?

America is caught in the middle of an "informational cascade" where subsequent scientists build new premises on the claims of previous researchers. If the first scientists in the line of research got it right, then … well, there's nothing really to discuss. But if the initial findings were flawed, every theory built on that conclusion is also kaput. Welcome to obesity research.

Yesterday, New York Times science reporter John Tierney outlined this "cascade" phenomenon as it relates to "expert" diet recommendations: 

The notion that fatty foods shorten your life began as a hypothesis based on dubious assumptions and data; when scientists tried to confirm it they failed repeatedly. The evidence against Häagen-Dazs was nothing like the evidence against Marlboros.

Tierney sought out "the most rigorous meta-analysis of the clinical trials of low-fat diets" and discovered that it found no significant impact on mortality. More recent research has also broken away from the group-think. A study in the prestigious Lancet medical journal found that people with low BMIs, not the overweight or obese, had the highest risk of heart disease and early death. But the media didn't widely cover these findings that contradicted the party line.

Instead, the report covered by multiple news outlets found that Cuba's economic downturn had led to a substantial drop in average calories eaten (aka "famine") and a decrease in obesity rates (aka "starvation"). The researchers recommend that the U.S. look to Cuba's "successful" experience as a dietary standard. (Never mind that premature death rates among the elderly actually inched upward and there was an epidemic of degenerative nerve damage as a result of widespread malnutrition.) 

These reduced-fat, low-salt, no-food recommendations -- besides being unjustified -- may well have unintended consequences as severe as those observed in the Cuba study. If Americans hope to avoid the lemmings' fate, they should tune out the latest nutrition survey and fad diets. Rather, heed the advice of Dr. Edward H. Ahrens Jr., a distinguished researcher who spoke out against the erroneous 1970s Congressional report that advised Americans to eat less fat:

This is a matter … of such enormous social, economic and medical importance that it must be evaluated with our eyes completely open. Thus I would hate to see this issue settled by anything that smacks of a Gallup poll.
