Rachel Dolezal finally comes out as white.

Dolezal racked up one set of lies after another, including claiming another man as her father (which must have just thrilled Dad) and saying that her adopted African brother was her son. But through it all, Rachel stuck by her guns. She identified as black, you see, and that means that she was black.

That wound up creating a tricky bridge for Jenner’s supporters to navigate. If Caitlyn Jenner (who is obviously a man and a tremendously successful athlete to boot, but legally changed his name a month ago) was able to claim to be a woman because he identifies as one, why couldn’t Dolezal be black?

Another installment on education in the Age of Teacher's Unions.

Regarding Rachel Dolezal, what took her so long to admit what we already knew? I suppose it's good that she finally came out. But this whole creating a past and assigning relatives that she doesn't have is despicable. And I agree with the author of that article. Why the hell is she being interviewed?

It's like interviewing Monica Lewinsky. They are both disgraceful people and do not deserve attention, publicity and the accompanying financial rewards.

A strange thing happened along the way when a feminist indie film maker actually paid attention to her subjects: she started changing her mind about them. The subjects? men's rights activists. The inevitable result: other feminists want to burn the witch. But when she asks them to appear in her film to provide a counter point, they refuse.

Who's afraid of a little debate?

An interesting story about a kid who was plotting a school shooting, but got caught... What to do with him?

Via Reason the Brits maybe in the process of revolting against the "yes means yes" crowd. A taste:

The big question is: Why didn’t this happen earlier? Consent classes have been taking place on campuses in Britain for more than a year, and they’re deeply patronising. In an irony that would make Orwell proud, or mad, they’re compulsory on some campuses, including Cambridge and Oxford. Compulsory consent education—you couldn’t make it up.

They treat students like children, telling these men and women, many of whom will have already had sex, how to express and recognise consent. They tell students that consent must be "active," "ongoing," and "sober." So no more drunk sex. Lawlor is right that students don’t need worthy lectures about "basic human interaction."

Manual labor? as in "send him to prison, and put him on the prison farm detail".

I'd advocate putting him to sleep, IRA, but the issue is that he didn't actually carry out the massacre. AND he was only 17.

This started life in years past as a joke: a new map of Europe as drawn up in 2004.

but the issue is that he didn't actually carry out the massacre. AND he was only 17.

That's why he shouldn't be given the dirt nap. The other thing is the men's brains apparently don't fully mature until about 25 years of age. Let him mature properly and then evaluate him.

Also, lots of manual labor. I want to see callouses on those hands. That will help with the maturing process.

And then see if he's been cured of his desire to dominate others or not.

What to do with him? Bullet to the back of the head, in an ideal world. Plenty of males manage to make it till the brains are matured without plotting (and taking action towards accomplishing...) to kill lots of people. We aren't short on humans, or young males, in this world. Eliminate the seriously dangerously subpar ones. No loss.

Of course, that's in an ideal world. Too bad.

Did he plot or plan?

I've seriously entertained the notion of killing several people for various reasons, I really dont have much of a moral compass.

But I've never started buying supplies and planning to carry anything out.

So was this kids just committing thought crimes, or was he making preparations?

He was making preparations. He'd acquired weapons, and was making and testing bombs. He went into detail about the plans when he was arrested.

Labor would definitely help- I generally think it would help a lot of these people who feel entitled to so much but produce nothing. This loser was pissed off because he wasn't popular and the pretty girls weren't interested in him. So he was going to kill people to show he could dominate others. I don't think he would have had the same amount of time to sit around a come up with grievances if he were being productive, versus playing video games and jacking around on the internets.

Yeah. I'd go eight years hard labor. Make him get a GED, associates degree, and a trade certification too.

Also a few classes on ethics and the morality of applying self interest in planning for the future.

What ever his reasons for wanting to kill someone carrying it out has no immediate or long term benefit to his life.
