A new study by Sonja Starr, an assistant law professor at the University of Michigan, found that men are given much higher sentences than women convicted of the same crimes in federal court.

The study found that men receive sentences that are 63 percent higher, on average, than their female counterparts with men receiving 51.52 months of imprisonment time as compared to women receiving 18.51 months for the same crime.

Men account for over 90% of combat deaths historically, 93% of workforce deaths and injuries, and 80% of suicide rates, but only account for 34% of divorce initiations and only 16% of custody battle winners.

Out of youths with issues (suicide, dropping out, behavioral issues, prison), most stem from fatherless households, with the minority stemming from motherless households. 63% of the suicides were from fatherless households, 90% were homeless or ran away, 85% with behavioral issues, 70% placed in state-run institutions, and 85% were sent to prison.

Men also account for 76% of homocide victims, and 86% of men who are sexually assaulted or raped are not believed. Men have access to all of 2 domestic violence shelters in the U.S.

Of the 80.1 percent of the parental abuse committed against a child, 17.9 percent was committed by fathers, 0.9 by fathers and another adult figure, 16.8 by mothers and fathers together, 5.7 percent of mothers and another adult figure while 38.7 percent was perpetrated by mothers alone according to a study done in 2007, and “Perpetrator Relationships of Fatalities, 2004 Child Maltreatment 2004” , child fatalities perpetrated by mothers or by “mother and other [not father]” comprise 40.6% of all child fatalities.


I firmly believe there is no real equality in our country.

So much of what we do in society from national debt, to wars, to the family court policies is at the expense of the children for the sake of irresponsible adults.

"As a recap, we have a problem with human violence. Caused in early childhood. Women are in charge of early childhood. Women choose the men with whom they have children. Right? so, how do we break the cycle of violence? Lecturing men is ridiculous. I mean factually, scientifically, lecturing men is ridiculous. There is zero patriarchy for children. Right? Again, give or take, right? But, this is when women are complaining about micro-aggression and women say 'Well, we have nothing to do with the cycle of violence, there's nothing we can do, you've gotta work it out amongst yourselves'... So a study was recently done. A psychologist went and said ' I'd really like to study verbal aggression within the household.' so he went to daycare centers and he asked the parents there, who were all women save for one man, but he asked the parents 'Do you yell at your children?' and they all said, basically, yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah. They make me. And so what he did is he put a little recording device on them...and he said 'Just turn it on record every day for a week' and then he got them back, and he also asked them some other questions [...] The women said 'Yeah, I hit my child maybe eighteen times a year'. So, he got the data back. Now, this is middle class. this is not, like, right down in the dregs, this is middle class, comfortable, all that kind of stuff [...] anybody wanna guess, instead of eighteen times a year hitting children, does anybody want to put a finger on the where the number is at? [...]
It was 932. Nine-hundred. And thirty-two times...a year. Does anyone want to guess the age ranges of the children? Anybody want to guess the bottom age of the children being hit 932 times a year? [...]
Seven months. Seven. Months. Of age. The top end was three, three-and-a-half, close to four. Seven months, to four years old, these average American women were hitting their children nine-hundred and thirty-two times per year. We also know that women hit their sons two to three times more than their daughters. [...] They say 'Men just have to deal with their weird aggressions, we have nothing to do with it. We don't know where it comes from. We're helpless, helpless'. If you're a little boy and you're being hit by a giant woman over nine-hundred times a year'...an the study shows that the hits occurred within thirty seconds of the conflict beginning...Not a lot of reasoning going on...
Violence begins in early childhood as the result of abuse. Women are in charge of early childhood. Women are hitting children nine-hundred plus times a year after thirty seconds of the conflict beginning. You don't have to be Klingon-Shelrock Holmes to crack this case, 'Where does violence come from?' "

John Stuart Mill
“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice, — is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other.”

Thomas Keneally
“But then what is the alternative to trying to tell the truth about the Holocaust, the Famine, the Armenian genocide, the injustice of dispossession in the Americas and Australia? That everyone should be reduced to silence? To pretend that the Holocaust was the work merely of a well-armed minority who didn’t do as much harm as is claimed-and likewise, to argue that the Irish Famine was either an inevitability or the fault of the Irish-is to say that both were mere unreliable rumors, and not the great motors of history they so obviously proved to be. It suited me to think so at the time, but still I believe it to be true, that if there are going to be areas of history which are off-bounds, then in principle we are reduced to fudging, to cosmetic narrative. ”

Taken as a whole, a cooked cadaver would yield about 81,500 calories’ worth of food, says James Cole, a lecturer on human origins at the University of Brighton in England. But that’s only if you wolfed down every part that could be consumed. To create his “nutritional template” for cannibalism, Cole used body-composition data published in the 1940s and ’50s, drawn from four dead males between the ages of 35 and 65. From these he built something like a beef chart for human beings, with caloric content listed for every cut of person-meat.

A human arm would supply about 1,800 calories, for example, while each leg would yield 7,150 calories.

Cole determined that a human arm would supply about 1,800 calories, for example, while each leg would yield 7,150 calories. The lungs, liver, and alimentary canal each provide roughly 1,500 calories, while the brain, spinal cord, and nerve trunks together account for 2,700. And what lurks in the hearts of men? Seven hundred twenty-two calories, Cole says.

Archaeologists might use the nutritional template to help settle some tricky research questions. We know that some groups of early hominins engaged in cannibalistic behavior, but it’s hard to know whether they did so for ritual and social reasons (so-called cultural cannibalism) or as an occasional source of nutrients (gastronomic cannibalism). In a cave site east of Burgos, Spain, where Homo antecessor lived one million years ago, researchers have found cut-marks on hominin bones that suggest the latter. The marks look identical to those found on the bones of animals consumed as food. Cole hopes that his work could further help distinguish these behaviors. For example, researchers might check to see if H. antecessor’s cut-marks deliberately targeted the most nutritious body parts.

The 81,500 calories in a human body may sound like a lot, but it’s paltry next to what’s found in bigger animals. A horse contains more than 200,000 calories, and a bear three times that much. And that’s just from their most appetizing parts. It’s also worth considering that about half the calories in human meat come from adipose tissue. Consuming so much fat might pose problems of its own. “I’m not a nutritionist,” says Cole, “but I would imagine that it would not be very healthy.”

I CAN'T BE THE ONLY PERSON TO WANT THESE.

A little meme put here for my own use.

The road to purity is drenched in the blood of the martyred.

It is not the Horror of War that troubles me but the Unseen Horrors of Peace.

I have to say this. I hate kids. I really do. To be honest, if I don't have kids, I can't see any immediate problem with that situation.

Do you know what I hate more? Neglectful, self-congratulating parents. More accurately, parents filling out the 'anti-vaxxer' movement.

I have not seen a larger group of misinformed, pretentious assholes in my life. They strut around, shouting how, with an hour of Google research beneath their belt, they are more informed and better educated than all of the scientific community arguing their case. They cite outdated resources, misrepresent facts, use propaganda and rhetoric in lieu of actual sources or links, and follow blindly this need for fear-mongering scare-tactics.

Why do I hate them? Because although I hate kids, what with them being loud, smelly, slobbering machines of uncontrolled destruction, they are innocent. They look up to their parents, and in fact any adult, as a source of knowledge, a means of staying safe, and a source of guidance. When these parents scream how vaccinations are bad you tend to have several problems.

First problem is the immediate issue of the child being in danger. Certainly, playing outside and eating right are great ways to build up ones immune system, but nobody blithely states 'Well, I'm gonna go catch measles and that way I'll be naturally immune'. Measles can be unpleasant; rash, coughing, runny nose and eyes. It can also cause inner ear infections that can cause deafness. It can cause encephalitis. I has a strong chance of bringing pneumonia into the picture. It can kill the child.

Kill them.

Dead.

Three million children are saved each year because of vaccinations. Nearly two million die from vaccine-preventable diseases like mumps and rubella, or Hepatitis a or B, or measles, or even the goddamned flu.

Any parent who doesn't vaccinate, in my opinion, is not only neglectful but actively endangering their child. And I've read so much nonsense from the anti-vaxxer crowd too. "Ooh, vaccines have mercury in them!" Your body naturally creatures mercury, and we eat it all the time. Also, there is a difference between ethyl and methyl alcohol, but you're not drinking both of them, are you? "B-b-b-but, what about the formaldehyde?" Your pear has 10,000 times the amount of formaldehyde as a vaccine does. "Well what about rat brains!" It's protein strains obtained to give the dormant or partial virus nutrients. It's also in a part per million amount and does not harm. "Well, I see there is aluminum..." What, you mean the most common metal on our planet, found literally everywhere, even in microscopic amounts in our own bodies? And you say you found it in a vaccine? NO SHIT.

The second issue that arises is that the children are losing their herd immunity. If one child is immunized, and no one else is, well, he would be safe, but everyone else is s.o.l. However, if, say, 90% of kids are immunized, there is no place for the disease to take hold and spread. You know who that helps? Children who are immunocompromised, or are allergic antibiotics, or have reactions to vaccines. This protects them because they can't be protected like the others. Now, when a bunch of quacks start running around screaming 'I dun want muh kids to get encephalitis', that herd immunity rapidly diminishes, and guess what? The unvaccinated and partially vaccinated kids are at risk. This wouldn't be an issue if one kid was unvaccinated. Or a dozen kids. But we are talking about numbers in the THOUSANDS.

Now it stops being a 'parents right' to not vaccinate their kid because their bullshittery is now having repercussions on kids other than their own. Do you think the grieving parents of the boy who died from the mumps your little sperm blossom gave him when he lugged it to school because he was unvaccinated would give a rats ass that you were just exercising your right to not vaccinate? Hell no. In fact, I hope the father punches you in the goddamned mouth, you'd deserve it.

Third, the mentality of these homes. I've seen so many variations, some sitting at the 'I'm not sure and need more info, lets talk to a doctor before we continue' mind-set (which I respect, skepticism is healthy, but be wary of your sources) all the way over to the other side, the side who smile while eating granola and their organic strawberries while getting acupuncture done by their masseuse who says that your emotional waves are causing distemper with the universe which is why you're in pain, just before they give you probiotics as a cure-all for everything.

Now, the majority don't fall on either extreme side, but the majority seem to push closer towards the 'fruitcake/nutbar' side of this spectrum. Have a disease of some kind? Drink some tea with ginger and apples, it will fix it right up! Have cancer? Inject some Vitamin C in there instead of going to chemo! Feeling down? Try oxygenating/ionizing your blood with this machine found on LiveWhole.org that costs 900$, isn't FDA regulated, and has no research done into it beyond anecdotal statements from strangers saying 'Yeah, sure, it works I guess...probably'. And that is a problem. Being skeptical of something is smart, it means you are considering options and facts rather than impulsively jumping at the first answer given to you that sets itself apart from 'corporate'. These people, however, are the kind who think that if they give probiotics to a child with autism, he'll get better. These are the people who think that, even though they don't have Celiac disease, they have a gluten allergy (Note: findings show that if you don't have Celiacs, you do not have a gluten allergy). These are the people who spend thousands and thousands of dollars at Whole Foods because they think eating only organic will make them healthier (Another Note: Organic food is NOT healtheir, the only difference is a marginally smaller amount of pesticides coating it. If you wash your veggies, it doesn't matter). And they force this diatribe onto their children. And if you hear a lie often enough, well guess what...the kid is going to start believing it. Why do you think religions are so successful? Next thing you know, you have another generation of misinformed, scared individuals who resent or refuse to acknowledge the information they obtain from professionals and medical scientists, because 'mommy taught me'. Nothing is more horrifying to me than a generation of stupid people calling the shots.

Finally, all this comes down to denying science. These parents turn to celebrities, bloggers, and journalists, all with none of the qualifications to make judgment calls on the benefits and risks of inoculations, to form an opinion. For a quick example, Sheldon's girlfriend, Mayim Bialik (Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler, for those who actually like that show). She is, in real life, a PhD carrying Neuroscientist, and a staunch anti-vaxxer. People pointed at her and said, 'She's a scientist AND a celebrity who hates vaccines!' No, I say. Just no. She is a neuroscientist. Does that mean she studied immunology? Does that mean she is a professional nurse? What about pharmacist? Has she vaccinated children in her office? Does she have experience in... no. She doesn't. She studied the nervous system. She didn't study diseases, she didn't study vaccines, she didn't study virology, she studied the sparks jumping around in our body that make us move and feel and react. This is a woman who thinks veganism is a healthy dietary choice (it's not), that homeopathy is a reasonable alternative to 'Western Medicine' (it's not) and she thinks that vaccines are bad (they're not). But people look at her, and the likes of her, and say, 'Well then, if SHE thinks it's bad...' and now we have measles coming back. And what do the anti-vaxxers say? "It's hyped up". "It's not bad". "It's natural".

You know what else is natural? Death.

But at least the companies that make child-sized coffins will profit from all this stupidity.

These people make me sick.

"Punch-fisted in the shitter by a bear with shark arms" has got to be the best description of post-Taco Bell indigestion I have ever heard.

I've been considering this for a long time, and I still hold that upgrading our bodies and modifying our physical forms is one of the greatest sources of interest for me beside the biochemical responses that our body creates. The addition of circuitry to make our lives more easy, the enhancement of muscle tissues to make us respond more quickly, the introduction of specialized chemicals to create new levels of perception or distraction. I'm a bit of a singularitarian. I love the idea that one day mankind will be able to blend with technology, the next step in our evolution and allowing us to enhance, or altogether shed our weak physical bodies, lengthen our lives, and more. It has been suggested that we could be able to eventually download our psyche right into the internet within the next forty years. The possibilities that this would create are endless! If we could remove more of our biological components, long-distance travel between stars would be a matter of patience, no longer of generational planning. Medicinal technology and it's mysteries and issues would become fewer as the need for biological enhancements fill the market. And with how technology is developing so rapidly, and people are discovering new innovations to bypass outdated wiring or batteries, I can only imagine what the future holds for humanity.
