"Pope, Queen and Canadian Prime Minister found Guilty of Crimes against Humanity and Sentenced to Twenty Five Year Prison Terms"

It's on the internet so it must be true

Lot of bullshit in that article, which is not surprising given the source.

Here's the real story...

Got me googling too. Here's some more info about CSCOPE's usage of the Boston Tea Party as a teaching device in differing perspectives.

Agreed on the source.

How does a teacher get from here:

(B) describe major world religions, including animism, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Sikhism, and their spatial distribution;

to here:

LeBlanc said the students were told that they could no longer use the terms suicide bomber or terrorist. Instead, they were instructed to use the words “freedom fighters.”

BS article or not I have a hard time seeing them dressing students up as wives of David Koresh and telling them not to call what he did "rape" / "polygamy"

"Another challenge presented itself before the first supersonic flight when Yeager broke two ribs while horseback riding with his wife at the time, Glennis, in whose honor Yeager had christened the X-1 "Glorious Glennis.""

X-1 "Glorious Glennis."

The Col doesn't like that you used Glamorous in that OPR. His preferred word is Glorious. Send back to the rater for rewrite.

Parents of transgender first-grader file discrimination complaint

https://www.cnn.com/2...hool/index.html

Saw this this morning and it pissed me off to no end. Aside from the fact that it's highly debatable whether or not a 6 year old should be having gender identification issues, I just want to puke when I see the parents parading the poor child around on a TV news show and discuss issues right in front of him/her that the kid cannot possibly comprehend. Then the anchor insensitively asked if the child missed his/her friends at school, basically pouring salt in the wound. I feel genuinely bad for the poor kid. The parents should be ashamed.

[HuggyU2]

No, WE should feel ashamed. Ashamed that our country has come to this,... and we have allowed it to happen.

Sickening.

Your lack of tolerance is troubling.

Talk about weird. I can't help envisioning a Rodman puppet high fiving an Arec Bawdwin puppet...

Dennis Rodman calls North Korean leader "an awesome kid"

BEIJING (Reuters) - Former NBA basketball star Dennis Rodman emerged from four days in North Korea on Friday, calling the leader of the reclusive country "an awesome kid".

Rodman, known for his tattoos, body piercings and flamboyance, was in North Korea to film a sports documentary, and watched a basketball game alongside the country's leader, Kim Jong-un.

Kim "is like his grandfather and his father, who are great leaders, he is an awesome kid, very honest and loves his wife so much", Rodman told the Chinese government news agency Xinhua before leaving the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, on Friday.

Kim, 30, is the grandson of Kim Il-sung, who founded North Korea, and the son of Kim Jong-il. Both ruled the country with an iron fist.

Kim has maintained his father's drive to secure nuclear arms for his impoverished country, with North Korea last month conducting its third nuclear test, drawing the condemnation of world powers and the United Nations.

At Thursday's basketball game, Rodman and Kim laughed and conversed in English, and later had an "amicable" dinner, Xinhua quoted the former Chicago Bulls player as saying. Kim attended secondary school in Switzerland, but his language abilities remain a mystery.

North Korea routinely denounces U.S. "hostility" and no peace treaty was signed after a truce ended the 1950-53 Korean War. But Xinhua said Kim told Rodman over dinner that he hoped further sports exchanges would promote "mutual understanding between peoples of the two countries".

Asked how his visit might help, Rodman told the agency: "About the relationship, no one man can do anything. His country and his people love him. I love him, he is an awesome guy."

Before meeting Kim, Rodman appeared to have mixed up the two Koreas, suggesting he might meet South Korean rapper Psy during his trip to the North.

Rodman came to North Korea to shoot footage for a show to air on the U.S. television network HBO, a producer travelling with the group said. Arriving at Beijing airport, Rodman brushed past reporters without speaking.

Given the context of the WTF thread, I'd call that a success.

It's hard to take Rodman serious as a basketball player and it's really quite the stretch to look him in the face (and not crack up) and take him seriously as a diplomat. He must really be hurting for publicity and cash.
