Hmmm...

When sports becomes another politicized arena for multi-millionaires to lecture the fans that provide their celebrity lifestyle, it comes as no surprise that the fans will get turned off — and turn the channel. Quelle surprise, as they’d say in the Canadian league, where the focus is still on football

Any group that does not apologize for advocating "Death to __________ " is to me a hate group.

#BLM is such a group and has been poisoned by outsiders from day 1 and did not know it.

Regarding its manifesto:
"“You can’t separate this document from the events in Ferguson,” he said. “It is in Ferguson that you have a number of Palestinian and pro-Palestinians on the front lines, participating in the demonstrations, making comparisons with the war in Gaza.” "

Gee, it really is like the government wants us to be dependent on them:

"Only a dope would vote yes on Question 4" by Jaclyn Cashman. (It's about legalizing marijuana in MA.)

http://www.bostonherald.com/news/columnists/jaclyn_cashman/2016/09/cashman_only_a_dope_would_vote_yes_on_question_4

For those who don't know, the Herald is the tabloid refuge for Massachusetts' conservative readers.

However, judging from the comments, I have to wonder if there ARE any conservative readers left in the state!

But, while I'm no legal expert, I would guess that the more likely explanation for the commentators' lack of sympathy for Cashman's arguments is that she had too many misleading statements in her article for even anti-pot readers to support.

On the male contraceptive Vasalgel and MGTOW:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_mCNPqJp9w

It's 23:34 minutes long and was published on Sept. 7th, by AntiquityCar. Worth watching once, maybe.

I'd say the most important parts are in the first half. He deliberately talks slowly; at least that way, you won't miss a word.

But for someone who says that women are the absolute best when it comes to bitching, he does an incredible job of projecting a bitter personality.

Also, like so many, he doesn't quite seem to grasp that

1) if American men really wanted Vasalgel for themselves, as opposed to making it available to OTHER American men, we'd likely have it already

2) married men will continue to trust their wives, and unattached men (aside from rich, famous men) will still be under pressure to use condoms, due to STDs

3) because of that, it's really not a good idea for men to talk as though most women are absolute liars when it comes to birth control or that that's the main reason men need Vasalgel. Rich, famous men who refuse to use condoms, even with multiple women, might jump at the chance to use it, despite the needle, but most men will likely just say "OK, you said you're on the Pill, but that has a failure rate too, so I'm trying to help by using condoms." (Who's going to use two male contraceptives at once?)

As someone said on Vox Day's blog:

"Vasalgel doesn't really do anything THAT novel, it just does it better. Any man who is truly worried about getting a girl pregnant has multiple options for preventing it already.

"And the ones who aren't worried about it, well their behavior isn't going to change either. They aren't going to get a procedure, no matter how cheap or easy, for something they aren't worried about."

But I admit that, in the video, he makes a semi-good point about getting political support from mothers of teenage sons - as well as the point about how plenty of women just can't use hormonal methods anyway and how that fact can be used in the campaign. Even so, I'm pretty sure he's seriously wrong about unmarried fathers not having to worry about jail time for lack of child support payments.

To clarify: Any man who refuses to use condoms is not likely to use anything that involves a needle, and men who don't trust the women they're with aren't likely to stay with them for the long term anyway. So if men really want it, they're going to have to go on TV and prove to potential sponsors that there are far more women out there than previously thought who can't use the Pill, and so, men need more backups. Or something like that.

Turns out that video is older than I thought. At least this includes dozens of comments, if not that many.

ORPMD: you'll enjoy this, as Georgia and SC go nuts because somebody is wearing a clown costume.

FEAR. Call the cops call the cops OMG CALL THE COPS HE'S WEARING MAKEUP OMG!!1!!

because of that, it's really not a good idea for men to talk as though most women are absolute liars when it comes to birth control or that that's the main reason men need Vasalgel

You know, when the first sets of data from the Human Genome project were released it was disclosed over 30% of children were not fathered by the men who thought themselves to be their children's father

So while 'most' women may not be absolute liars a very large minority of them are

Kindly provide the details on that. Last I heard, whenever anyone makes a claim of 20% or higher, it turns out NOT to be a random genetic survey. I.e., whenever paternity tests, per se, are done, it's because there was a doubt as to paternity in the first place. Naturally, the rate of paternity fraud would be much higher then, as opposed to when the object of a genetic test was something other than establishing paternity.

So, if a man has sex with a woman and she gets pregnant and claims he's the father, and he denies it and demands a test, chances are that at least 70% of the time, he will turn out to be the father, whether he likes it or not.

Finally:

1. Any unattached man who constantly balks at using condoms is not a likely customer for any contraceptive that involves a needle. (With the possible exception of men such as rock stars and athletes.)

2. A man who has casual sex with women he doesn't know well really shouldn't have any trouble convincing them to let him use condoms. As in: "How do you know where I've been?" If she argues with that, CLEARLY she's not someone to get involved with.

3. Plenty of women in long-term relationships do not want children (at least right now) and cannot use hormonal methods. They would be only too happy for men to have and use back-ups.

So, unofficially at least, the "main reason" men need Vasalgel - as opposed to their wives' needing them to use it - is because famous, promiscuous men (who are undeniably surrounded by golddiggers) want it. Those men will be pretty much the only men who will use it without some woman's ASKING them to use it. In the meantime, once it arrives, young single men who think they can get women to stop insisting on condoms are going to be sadly disappointed - why should a woman believe a man she doesn't know well when he says "I'm clean"?

(Granted, quite a few single, casual-sex women currently just use some non-hormonal method without insisting on condoms - but they're being cowardly and foolish.)

Yes, there are married women who lie to their husbands about being on the Pill - but it's safe to say that there just aren't enough of them to get married men to stop trusting their wives in general. So it's silly to think that Vasalgel is going to change things for women in ways they don't like - aside from groupies.
