Forced Sterilization in Puerto Rico not ended until 1970's. [stanford.edu]

LenHazell53 comments on May 30, 2019:

Not just Puerto Rico. You do know Some states still have forced sterilization laws in effect, such as Washington state. Even compensation payments for the victims of forced sterilization under the authorization of the Eugenics Board of North Carolina was not authorized until 2013 In North Carolina to provide justice and compensate 7,600 victims who were forcibly sterilized by the State of North Carolina from 1929 to 1974 in the state's eugenics program; $10 million set aside to be awarded beginning in June 2015 In 2003, Douglas Diekema wrote in Volume 9 of the journal Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Research Reviews that "involuntary sterilization ought not be performed on mentally retarded persons who retain the capacity for reproductive decision-making, the ability to raise a child, or the capacity to provide valid consent to marriage." those who do not retain the capacity can be sterilised on the say so of their family or the advice of their doctor. The American Journal of Bioethics published an article, in 2010, that concluded the interventions including hysterectomy and surgical removal of the breast buds from mentally and physically disabled children was permissible In June 2014, The inability to pay for the cost of raising children was given as a reason courts to have ordered coercive or compulsory sterilization.a Virginia judge ruled that a man on probation for child endangerment must be able to pay for his seven children before having more children; the man agreed to get a vasectomy as part of his plea deal. In 2013, an Ohio judge ordered a man owing nearly $100,000 in unpaid child support to "make all reasonable efforts to avoid impregnating a woman" (a vasectomy) this amounts to "constructive sterilization" for men unlikely to make child support payments. 148 female prisoners in two California institutions were sterilized between 2006 and 2010 in a supposedly voluntary program, but it was determined that the prisoners did not give consent to the procedures leading to the September 2014, California enacted Bill SB 1135 that bans sterilization in correctional facilities, unless the procedure shall be required in a medical emergency to preserve inmate's life. Discussions have yet to begin regarding forced sterilization in other states.

It's soo true!!

He looked shocked and said he was not going to kill himself, so I nodded and said that he may not have chosen to be born but had just declared his choice to stay alive, so his being here was no longer my responsibility.

Criticises everything I do, say or think, buy or produce. For the last twenty seven years I have simply ignored this, which in itself is a source of disappointment to him as it apparently means I have no respect or manners.

How would you know? UFO means Unidentified Flying Object, which of course by definition means of unknown origin. Many UFO are of perfectly explainable origin, for instance the first reports of "Triangular" UFO corespondent exactly with the development in secret of Stealth Bombers and Stealth fighters, that are of course triangular. Lots of UFOs with flashing red lights are seen around Airports. The advent of the flying saucer after WW2 again corespondent with the importing of huge amounts of Axis scientists brought in to the UK, USSR,USA as part of operation paperclip, one of the major Nazi Projects carried on was the so called "Glocken" an attempt to build circular high speed flying machines, that ultimately proved impractical and was dropped in favour of the Jet engine. Even if we accept that there are alien craft, Alien need not mean extra terrestrial, (after all Alien just means not local) if you are willing to accept alien means from another planet, why not another dimension, a quantum variant, another time, or an as yet undiscovered superior race of humans (Wakanda forever!) If we are alone in the universe is that because we are the first plant to evolve sentient life? Is it because we are the only planet capable? or are we the Last planet to survive evolving sentient life? It is an interesting idea to ponder, but until evidence is available is can be nothing more than that, an idea. Though I am attracted by the idea that what our ancestors mistook for gods were in fact "Aliens" of one form or another

Today my son would be accused of "white guilt" if he said the same, perhaps one day we will admit that whatever "benefits" were enjoyed by those we conquered, they were first and foremost for the colonists and oppressors and presented no help or comfort to the indigenous people until we pissed off ignominiously, claiming falsely our departure to be a gift and beneficent gesture of love and friendship. A trick we learned from the Romans, Normans and Jutes. At least the Vikings had the decency to admit they were screwing us over and that it was not for our own good.

LenHazell53 comments on May 26, 2019:

Of course it largely depends on how you are defining socialism, Hitler called himself a National socialist, but was an ultra nationalist, Stalin and Lenin called themselves socialists but were actually Bolshevik Communists, and then there are the supposed eight types of socialism, Democratic Socialism: Libertarian Socialism: Market Socialism: Green Socialism:  Christian Socialism: Utopian Socialism: Fabian Socialism:  Before you even get in to the other religious forms of socialism such as Islamic, Hindu and any other religion that advocated the equality of all humans regardless social standing. Then of course there is Humanitarianism that of course shares so much in principle with socialism in it's most reductionist form. Living in a country that has had socialist politics intertwined with ultra capitalism in almost equal measures for the past seventy years, resulting in a country that has free at the point of delivery health care for everyone, a respectable welfare state, relatively good laws on freedom of speech, religion and assembly, very low gun crime without outlawing gun ownership all together, good economic growth and up until relatively recently some of the greatest statesmen and women the world has ever known ... I will simply have to agree to disagree. So when the subject is discussed one has to define EXACTLY which form of socialism is being discussed to avoid immediately butting heads.

LenHazell53 comments on May 24, 2019:

No it is a silly idea and a dishonest rhetorical trick to ask for proof of non existence. All that can be done is to demonstrate **why** we know something DOES exist and then show the lack of the same criteria and evidence that make it probable other things such as a god for example DO NOT exist. However since there are a literally infinite number of things that DON'T exist I am not going to waste my time on that which *is not*, when there is so much *that is* to take an interest in.

NECROMANCER .

LenHazell53 comments on May 22, 2019:

To be pedantic, the definition given here is a common mistake and is not of a Necromancer but of a Nigromancer that is a practitioner of Black magic (Latin Nigro=Black Mantis=a prophet/wonder worker) Necromancy is a form of black magic akin to what we today would call mediumship ie. communication with the dead or spirit communication. Though there is a version of Necromancy that involves grave robbing and talking to corpses, Dr John Dee the noted metaphysical alchemist of the Elizabethan age along with his cohort Sir edward Kelly practiced this form of magic, but also uniquely developed a form of divination by "Wife swapping". The two words were confused during the slave era to avoid confusion with the idea that black slaves (as descendants of Cain) were magical beings who could curse you, as it was believed by the church that such a confusion would lead to a decline in profits from the slave trade in which the church (RC) was heavily involved. Therefore the more acceptable term Necromancer was substituted even though the word as such did not exist because a practitioner of Necromany was by definition a Nigromancer. There were also various other magical prophetic skills or mantis each more deliciously daft than the last, you can find a list of them here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_divination a few notable ones are Tasseomancy reading tea leaves, Alectryomancy reading the pecking patterns of chickens, Astromancy the forerunner of astrology (yes changing the name was a way to make Astrology look more scientific) and canomancy/felidomancy telling the future by talking to a dog or cat.

Years a go my Uncle was a member of a "hoplology" club, specialising in the collecting of muskets, flintlocks and primitive hand guns. They were an odd bunch of mustachioed old eccentrics who in their wisdom decided the club should be known and advertised as ## The Cock, Ball, Nipple and Touch-hole club Edit: Much to my surprise I have been informed the club still exists but is now know by the more acceptable name THE CBNT SHOOTING CLUB

if your mother was on her deathbed and she begged you to pray with her.

I'd tell her I had done it, I would close my eyes while she prayed, etc. It is too late for her to see sense, and she is terminally ill, so at this point what is the harm in indulging her fantasy. I sang along at my mothers funeral to avoid upsetting my father and causing a scene. If the inquisition came back and it was renounce atheism or be tortured I would say so, it would mean nothing and leave me alive and well to undermine from the inside. It's a bloody stupid thought experiment, but that is my answer.

Who has seen this movie, Cube (1997)?

LenHazell53 comments on May 18, 2019:

I saw it years ago, I believe it is credited as a loose remake of the Twilight Zone episode Five Characters in Search of an Exit and is possibly the first major hit in the Torture porn horror genre. I would also say it is highly influenced by the "New Avengers" episode Angels of Death in which the way out of deadly Maze is always just out out of reach and destroys the minds of those trapped within. (this episode is in itself a remake of the series 4 avengers episode "the house that Jack built" Cube has a sequel and a prequel neither of which did as well as the original.

There is no level of ethical squalor so filthy that trump will not lay down and roll in it if his pay masters tell him to do so.

Which Truth

LenHazell53 comments on May 16, 2019:

If you define "truth" as factual, then it is easy, you test it, by seeking evidence, or by proving consistent behaviour that can be predicted and duplicated. From the results you can come to the conclusion something is likely true, something is false or that something is as yet unverified but not erroneous and so can safely be treated as false. However thee is no such thing as variable truth, it falls in to the same group of word games as "alternate facts" and "for a given value of true" or most notoriously "true from a certain point of view" all of which are euphemisms for "expedient lie"

You sacrificed nothing, he threw your marriage away because you insulted his imaginary friend. If his religion was more important to him than his wife, he was not worth having and certainly not worth keeping, your ex is in short a prize dickhead, with no sense of priorities, no honour and a failure as a human being. You are well shot of him.

Do you still have faith that we are living in a democracy?

LenHazell53 comments on May 15, 2019:

There is no such thing as a democracy, there is only the ideal of a government subject to the will of the people it serves. What we call a democracy today is nothing of the sort, at best it is a perversion of the idea, representing not the people but a section of the will of a society via an elected representative who is free to make his or her own decisions even if they are in opposition to the will of those they represent. Both first past the post and proportional representation ignore the will of those on the losing side and those who either choose not to vote, could not vote or are not allowed to vote by reason of age or social position. In so called "free" countries votes can be bought and sold, tricked out of the gullible, hidden or replaced. Ultimately electoral representative democracy is rule by those who can buy and cajole the public by guile or trickery or corruption.
