I know, right? You pull up to the island, they tell you about this little adventurous day hike around a volcano, sign a waiver without even reading it... *BOOM* - and that's a wrap |

I started writing St. Peter at the Pearly Gates jokes. What's next? Ah, the Volcano eruption tourists! Ok, all the bikers, pilots, everyone who thinks signing a waiver is part of fun, over there, wait, I'll take the traumatized mundanes first. Ok, now you adventure junkies split into 3 groups. The instantly disintegrated, the horrible agony, and the great stories. I'll do the traumatized first, while the rest can watch ultra high resolution slow mo replays, then we'll listen to the stories..... |

In our house, it's been a long standing joke that if it doesn't involve the serious injury or death waiver, it's probably not worth doing. I would imagine that the threshold for requiring such a waiver has gotten so low that it doesn't even spark the question of being dangerous anymore. |

Considering the nerf gun ban mentioned in another thread...I think EVERYTHING is "too dangerous" these days, and people have zero grasp of actual danger anymore. We're simply too insulated from reality - video game baseball and football instead of real football and baseball and skinned knees and bee stings and sunburn. No "free range kids" anymore who just have to be home when the streetlights turn on...but otherwise can do whatever they want, wherever, with whomever. There is no frame of reference anymore. "Danger" is an abstract. And that's sad. |

Women have vaginas. I have studied them in detail. Does this make me a professor? |

Not all women have vaginas, and men can get pregnant. I don’t think you were paying attention in class. Off to reeducation camp with you! |

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/12/13/u-n- climate-summit-rich-countries-destroying-the-world -we-live-in/ If an Alaskan town had to relocate to avoid rising seas... You'd think that would be a big story. But aside from sources with negative credibility, ( New York Times ) all I can find is dire predictions. Since lower Manhattan is flooded, with water taxis delivering workers to buildings with flooded basements and power, internet, & telegraph cables rerouted above the rising waters filling the space above the huge navy of cheap, Uber boats. Well, there's no reason to doubt the predictions. See this photo of the water taxi traffic jams. ( Photo not found ) |

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/12/lat est-un-climate-talks-collapsing.php Unable to come up with a plan to steal the wealth of America without it's cooperation, the robbery committee runs out of ideas. I wonder if the "walls closing in" "bombshell" that wrecked this meeting was the U.S. representative that pointed out that the United States was prepared to give charity to victims of natural disasters, like always, and had no intention of playing their game. Without suicidal pretending that the Con was real, and a pointed reminder who actually saves lives around the world by actual charity and action, the U.S. just ruined the illusion that Europe can give away our money and not pay their costs of an international wealth theft program where the money promised to poor countries is kept by unelected bureaucrats at the U.N. It just doesn't play well to their voters to reveal that without stealing it with Obama's collusion from America, the voters will need to pay the caviar guzzling drinking buddies bills. And buy them yachts and Mercedes limos they will stash back home. |

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/12/nat ure-magazine-jumps-the-shark.php A simple dispute over language. Supremacy does indeed have emotional resonance. But so does the proposed "superior" advantage. As does my use of the "preferred" word's hierarchy . As does that word. And of course arguing the definition of "is" evokes rage in many who now have heard so many allegations of rape and abuse about the arguer... Especially since before that guy didn't kill himself. Bite me. Hey, I get the concern that hype words be chosen carefully, so as not to offend. It's supposed to be science. It's supposed to be an objective description of reality. I don't actually disagree with the too too sensitive letter writers. Supremacy is a hype word with bad feelings connected to it. In like fashion "denier" is obviously a Shaming lie to shape public opinion by evoking fears of the Gestapo by people using similar totalitarian tactics. Thus, in the spirit of trying not to give offense, if you dare call me that, I feel free to defend my honor, and justified in physical response to historically reasonable fear of physical attack by the user, who has shown actual spiritual and emotional connection to violent, dishonest, totalitarian ideologies that use terror & lies. Sauce for the goose... |

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/12/pr_ma keover_greta_thunberg_apologizes_for_call_to_kill_ says_it_goes_without_saying.html Funny, when I had that phrase translated, putting someone up against the wall, aka holding a gun to their chest, was one meaning, and it comes directly from the literal translation of putting someone up against the wall to shoot them. So the saying means exactly what you think it means. It's commie speak for murdering those who question your authority. SOP for Leftist monsters for generations. She said what she meant. Undoubtedly fed the line through her handlers, paid by George Soros, who embraces the original meaning of mass murdering the tools and fools who believe your lies, and are a threat when you take power. In America we tend to tack on Samuel L. Jackson's signature word. |
