I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
At all.

WTH would you wander over to Stormfront, anyway? That place is a pit of despicable and disgustingness. You’ll find things that are far worse than this, there.

Because that’s what I do…
And yeah this was the tamest thing I found over there.
I was actually just looking for people talking about how they don’t believe in birth control and this came up.
I actually wanted to find a man telling women to “keep your legs closed”. This happens a lot when I try to find a specific kind of hatemonger. It’s like thrift store hopping but far less pleasant.

…

Trying to decide if I want to troll this site or not.

Maybe tomorrow.

The youngest female partisan fighting against the fascists in Bulgaria in WWII

This picture is from October 1944. Elena Lagadinova was only 14-years-old. The chain around her neck was connected to her pistol so she would not lose it. She joined her father and three brothers fighting against the German-allied Bulgarian government when she was 11, running messages to the partisans while also trying to finish school.

the gold notebook: Left-handed people are angrier

the gold notebook: Left-handed people are angrier:

theweekmagazine:

Left-handed and ambidextrous people are more susceptible to negative emotions, including anger. A study published in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease found that the brains of lefties process emotions differently than those of righties, with more communication between the brain’s two halves. As a result, the areas that produce negative emotions experience greater activity, according to the Daily Mail.

They’re also more affected by fear, and more inhibited. Sorry, lefties.

The Womanifesto: Russia cracks down on child sex offenders. (TW)

The Womanifesto: Russia cracks down on child sex offenders. (TW):

the-womanifesto:

From now on, Russians who commit a sex crime against a child under the age of 14 will face chemical castration and a life sentence for repeat offenders. For those who acted against someone over 14 but are looking to get a shorter sentence, they can get elective chemical castration.

Why the harsher punishments? Russia has been facing a huge increase in sex crimes against minors.

A staggering 1,300 Russian children suffered from sexual crime involving violence in 2008 and another 5,233 from non-violent sexual crimes, according to Anton Belyakov, an MP for the loyalist A Just Russia party. Belyakov was among those calling for more severe punishments for pedophiles, as some 97% repeat their offenses after being released.

The chemical castration is actually a progesterone injection that lowers the testosterone levels, which reduces sexual desire.

The Revolt Against the NDAA Hits Congress | Adam Serwer

Thu, 17 May 2012 20:43:51 -0400

The Revolt Against the NDAA Hits Congress | Adam Serwer:

theamericanbear:

Congress is now considering three bills designed to quiet the uproar [over last year’s NDAA]. One, sponsored by Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), would repeal the detention sections of the NDAA entirely. Another, sponsored by Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.), would ensure that suspected terrorists captured on US soil, whether they are citizens or not, could not be detained indefinitely without trial.

Then there’s a third bill, proposed by Rep. Scott Rigell (R-Va.), called the Right to Habeas Corpus Act. Rigell’s bill, which has 32 cosponsors, would do basically nothing. That’s because all it does is affirm the right of American citizens to have a judge evaluate the legality of their detention, and there has been no disagreement over that right since the Supreme Court affirmed it in 2004. The question has been whether the United States could hold suspected terrorists without ever charging them with a crime. Under Rigell’s bill, a future president could still potentially indefinitely detain an American citizen arrested in the United States on suspicion of terrorism, while Smith’s bill would prevent them from doing so.

Rigell’s bill is “addressing a habeas problem that doesn’t exist, and ignoring the real problem, which is indefinite detention without charge or trial,” says ACLU legislative counsel Chris Anders.

Rigell’s office didn’t respond to a request for comment. But Anders notes that detention authority can be a “confusing” and “difficult” area in which to legislate, partially because many of the issues aren’t entirely settled. Of the two bills that would actually alter the NDAA, Smith’s has 56 cosponsors in the House. Paul’s bill has five cosponsors.

Republicans in the House, however, seem much warmer to Rigell’s mostly symbolic legislation, with [House Armed Services Committee spokesman, Claude] Chafin insisting it would “put to rest any doubt to the…purpose of last year’s NDAA.” The law’s critics don’t believe that. “We don’t trust Congress, who just passed this thing into law, to all of a sudden say, ‘Oh, we were wrong; we’re going to change it,’” director of the Tenth Amendment Center, Michael] Boldin said. That’s probably a safe bet.
