The vast majority of Han Chinese in Singapore (about 70% of the population) observed their centuries old practice of “confinement” after giving birth when I lived there in the early ’90s.

Two questions. First, what is “the vast majority”? 90%? 75% 60%? Second, how did you come by this data?

Zakaria or Bono?

Even 500 years ago the Catholic convent schools had parties where they could meet nice catholic boys. Solely with the intention of arranging a virtuous catholic marriage of course

Plus, the altar boys from the boys school across the courtyard.

Where there’s a will there’s a way said the sailor to the mermaids. Boys will be boys and girls will love them.

“So what does it mean that we have all these fist fights on film? It means we are not really in charge of our lives. We are protoplasmic robots acting out a set of instructions that we didn’t write.”

Either that or they all know to hit only with their outer two knuckles, which don’t get jammed nearly as much when you throw a punch.

Lol. If I’m a “wannabe” White nationalist, I wonder what a real White nationalist would be?

He would be a convict or a fugitive, because it is not possible to create a white ethno-state in the United States without engaging in mass violence and hurting many people, which would be, you know, illegal and would land you on the agenda of an FBI taskforce. You are a LARPer like Richard Spencer, only far less intelligent and without any public note. So you can save the “Lol” for your other teenage friends.

I met and spoke to Jared Taylor. Even he is not a real white nationalist though he will claim to be one in public. A lot of notable “white nationalists” who are not in prison are selling gullible, emotional, and angry people like you something to which they themselves do not subscribe completely.

Zakaria: “I Wanted to Understand Europe’s Populism. So I Talked to Bono.”

I wanted to know what Jill Lepore and Jeffrey Goldberg were thinking. So I read Fareed Zakaria:

Holton and Georgetown Prep were sex segregated schools. The kids got together outside of school. Sex segregated schools have parties events and dances in the school where members of the other sex are invited.

The assault that never happened occurred at a party in a private home.

I said: “There was a build up and culminating in an AsianAmerican with Perfect SAT score of 1600 suing Harvard for rejecting him.” You are unable to read properly. Is is as if you pretend that nothing happen before that, and nothing was in the press before that.

https://www.businessinsider.com.au/michael-wang-says-ivy-league-discriminates-against-asians-2015-5?r=US&IR=T

“””With a perfect ACT score and 13 Advanced Placement courses under his belt, Michael Wang applied to seven Ivy League universities and Stanford in 2013. … he says he filed a complaint with the US Department of Education”””

Compare to the normal yearly variations are there any that have change magnitude of 2x? Even the effects of campus unrests are small compare to that.

> Yet the Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA and MIT application numbers in your sample trended down

I attributed that to the bad publicity of California campus unrests which drew down the numbers, your are too blind to see that?

> while Harvard trended up

I did said: “Oddly the number for Harvard remained fairly constant,”, over the next year while the levels for UCLA, Berkeley and Stanford currently are still higher than their 2013 levels.

> This is the exact opposite of your theory

You have a one track mind as if nothing else happen after that.

> while in your data Stanford 2013 is double the Harvard number.

I did emphasize that the data were “sample”. What is the use of the other data that do not have the corresponding academic performance data?? Go get Harvard to release the real data. Then I do not have to rely on “sample”.

The First Blast of the Trumpet
Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women
1558
John Knox

Extracted from: Selected Writings of John Knox: Public Epistles, Treatises, and Expositions to the Year 1559

Editor’s Note

The First Blast of the Trumpet is, perhaps, Knox’s most famous and controversial work. In the twentieth century, few people have read the book, and still fewer have made an attempt to understand the reformer’s position.

For Knox, the teaching of scripture alone is sufficient to prove that women should not bear rule over men. The testimony of scripture is so plain, he wrote, that “to add anything were superfluous, were it not that the world is almost now come to that blindness, that whatsoever pleases not the princes and the multitude, the same is rejected as doctrine newly forged, and is condemned for heresy” (p. 390).

Knox knew that his 16th-century opponents expected citations from classical and patristic sources. Therefore, the reformer takes aim at both the position and polemical methods of his critics by quoting some of the stoutest comments imaginable, refuting the government of women. Whether Knox personally joins with the ancient authors in every detail is immaterial; by numerous references to antiquity, the reformer demonstrates that there is a venerable history of opposition to the rule of women. Still, Knox points out that his main argument, even if stripped of the patristic citations, is fundamentally based upon the authoritative word of God. “For as I depend not upon the determinations of men, so I think my cause no weaker, albeit their authority is denied unto me; provided that God by his revealed will, and manifest word, stands plain and evident on my side” (p. 400).

Contemporary readers should also recall that, when Knox speaks of “nature,” he is often making reference to human nature. Even so, he states, “this part of nature is not my most sure foundation” (p. 385). Again, his principal concern is with the revealed will of God, written in the Bible.

The treatise was published in Geneva in 1558. As indicated in the preface, the work was published anonymously. The author wished to conceal his identity, until he had issued two more blasts, intending to disclose his name with the publication of the Third Blast. The reformer’s plan to write two sequels remained unfulfilled, although he later published a summary of the contents which he proposed to treat in the Second Blast. The summary of the Second Blast was appended originally to his Appellation (1558), but readers will find this summary following the First Blast in the present volume (pages 435-36).

In future, SCOTUS nominees will have to raised on special judge farms where they’ll be under video surveillance 24 hours a day. And they’ll probably need to be neutered at birth.

There are some really stupid jerks posting on this blog.

That would be, I don’t know, someone who calls another commenter who’s served this country honorably, “not a real American.”

And there are some highly intelligent people here too.

Those would be people who understand the difference between ancestry and genetic similarity and the implications of that difference, instead of leaving nonsensical slogans she picked up on the internet.

Umm… doesn’t this hypothesis invalidate global warming?

Look at these graphs, starting around 1990: per NASA, the earth gets warmer, while, per the FBI, homicides go down.

Didn’t Steve Pinker write a whole book about how the human race has been getting less violent for centuries?

If the earth has been consistently warming since the 1850′s, shouldn’t Pinker’s crime trend have been arrested? (Heh.)

Surprised and confused that Goodfellas didn’t even crack the top 20.

Yep: you’re mad.

No, just annoyed by your stupidity as usual. This – trying to make another person appear emotionally affected, online, no less – is about idiotic and juvenile as calling others “autistic” or “aspergy” or to whatever it is that people whose arguments are weak resort.

However, it says a lot about your sad state of life when you draw satisfaction from thinking that you made your interlocutor “mad” on the internet. Grow up.

Alright, well a movie about a gay Japanese fascist sounds too good to miss.

This is a White men who hate women site. Accept and give it right back to the ignorant old codgers. Celibacy and rejection makes old codgers cranky.

Some of the ignorance is appalling as in poor women have many children because they can’t afford contraceptives

My favorite is White women should have more children. It’s like the celibate old codgers don’t even know it needs a man and a woman to make a baby

Some of these old codgers claim to be married and have kids. But if you read enough of their posts you realize all their knowledge of women comes from reading the internet.

Simply put, he’s along time overrated establishment hack.

Well put , Jason!

Talking about Westerners LIKING China and the Chinese people, do you really believe they have the slightest desire to do so, to understand its history and culture ?

Will improving the social image of the China and its people change the Western age old ‘East is East ‘ mindset which is continuing ever more with vehemently demonizing a strong and benevolent CHINA- a nation that has NEVER COLONIZED any country in the world throughout history, EVER …. advanced as they were with their invention and contribution , in culture and the ethics even then…. their ancient Silk Road etc… ?

How about a sponsorship deal for the trip? It seems fitting that she should do it in a Ford.

I feel zero pity for Capuano, fathers reamed in divorce court, or other weak wankers. They’ve been under attack by liberals and feminists for decades and did nothing.

They formed the NRA to protect gun rights.

They did nothing to protect men’s rights. Ergo, they have none. By choice.

Women organized, hired paid staff, solicited private and government funds, and united to fight men…especially straight white men. They worked tirelessly, too; didn’t pull punches; and…like gay groups…kept pressing-pressing-pressing after losses until they won.

Straight white men, on the other hand, drank beer, watched football, and fapped to porn. They refused to unite and fight…even to save their own kids/families. They sat on their asses for 50 years. Today, all they do is whine online about shite their passive cowardice let happen.

There are literally thousands of female groups now, each offering help to individual women. Every college, for example, has a Women’s Center and programs-classes-courses-libraries-loans-grants-etc. to help females.

Men, on the other hand, are expected to fight their own battles against the huge feminist army they helped/let grow.

Ijits!

The result? Guys like Brett Kavanaugh face ruin, their reputations/careers at-risk, based on ONE female making ONE accusation from 36 years ago.

No men’s groups help him because there are none worth a damn.

If a female were up for confirmation, everyone would laugh if a man appeared last-minute to say she briefly touched his peen nearly 4 decades ago while both were underage-drunk at a highschool party. And scores of leaders from scores of powerful women’s groups would defend the accused nominee 24/7.

Western men like Kavanaugh deserve all the stool they eagerly eat. I bet dollars to donuts he, like Trump, think MRAs are jokes. Don-Bretts will mutely endure…even love…any and all abuse inflicted by women. Trump will start wars for Ivanka, and create endless government programs to help girls/women, but do jackshit for guys.

The gender that stopped Hitler now eagerly licks Steinem’s boots.

QUICK: name 1 (ONE!) group effectively fighting for men’s rights 52 years after the National Organization for Women was founded!

Men in 1941 didn’t think lone snipers or Boy Scout troops should or could fight the Wehrmacht. Yet today, 18,980 days after NOW appeared, enstupidated-cucked-manginacal Western men still insist that each man is an island unto himself…and so must fight million-woman forces alone.

There are no meeker, cowardly, self-castrating pussified males than Western men today. It is simple impossible to embarrass them to get off their asses. They’ve forgotten how to act, handing their testicles to women to use as castanets.

It’s also a true story. The real Ginger was more beautiful than Sharon Stone. The real Rosenstein looked like he was dying of cancer about 50 pounds underweight

That, or to interview for/move to any of her jobs. I seriously doubt she took the Pony Express.

Actually, some places pay your airfare for an interview, so some office assistant somewhere either had to arrange her flight and hotel for her or else had to reimburse her for travel, for which she would have submitted receipts.

Has she spoken at any conferences? Any of them overseas?

I doubt state prisons and city and county jails were ever segregated outside of the solid south. Why spend the extra money?

Maybe she could loop north to do some relaxing leaf-peeping in Minnesota and Maine along the way …

The effect of warmer weather on rising gun violence in 2015 and 2016 in any individual city might have been small, but all told across the nation, it might have been significant. If you look at national murder data from 2000 to 2016 and compare it with the average annual temperature across the United States per year, you could predict a national rise or fall in murder using just the average annual temperature in 11 of 16 years.

What will happen with the US citizenship of these Chinese babies probably mainly depends on how prosperous China will be and what Chinese tax policies will be. After all, there is a significant downside to US citizenship – US citizens have to pay taxes even when they don’t live in the US, which, like people getting citizenship just because of being born in the country, is very unusual internationally. It doesn’t matter so much in countries where people pay higher taxes than in the US (though it still can be a hassle to prove it), but in a country like Switzerland, most people would have to pay additional taxes if they were US citizens. In the past, this wasn’t strictly enforced, but in the last decade, there were lots of threats against banks that have accounts of US citizens who don’t declare their income to the US authorities, which has meant that opening a bank account has become much more difficult for US citizens with lots of bureaucratic paperwork, which is a significant downside of US citizenship by itself, apart from making it possible that US taxes on people living overseas are actually enforced.

Because of the unusual practice of giving citizenship to anyone who is born there, there is quite a number of people in Switzerland who have US citizenship without having ancestors from there because their parents temporarily lived in the US when they were born (in these cases, US citizenship hardly was something that was desired very much, just an odd consequence of antiquated US laws). Once before US elections, a Swiss newspaper wrote about people of public life who can vote in these elections although they hardly have strong ties to the US, just because they were born when their parents were living as expats in the US for some time.

Renouncing US citizenship is a complicated and expensive process. But after the US started being stricter with collecting taxes from citizens living overseas and banks introduced lots of additional forms and bureaucratic hurdles for US citizens, more Swiss people who accidentally also have US citizenship have decided to go through with that process – so, they have a lot of expenses and work until the renunciation of US citizenship is completed, but at least afterwards, they are freed from the consequences of having been born in the US. Probably, this is quite a good business for specialized lawyers.

At the moment, of course, China is still much less prosperous than Switzerland on average, but the Chinese economy continues to grow and, of course, there are millions of people in China who are rich. I suppose the US does not have as much influence on Chinese banks as it has on Swiss banks, but who knows how that will be in the future. Maybe in the future, when these Chinese babies have grown up, many of them will also pay tens of thousands of dollars to lawyers for renouncing US citizenship, and they will think how odd it was that their parents thought that it was an advantage rather than a disadvantage when they received US citizenship because of having been born when their parents were temporarily in the US.

Maybe because she is a shameless liar. She is lying about the not-rape. She is lying about the airplanes. Everything she says is just to try to prevent Kavanaugh from sitting on the next session of the Court.

This whole kerfuffle will just help Republicans win even more seats in the Senate. It is too the “gender gap” what the 2016 elections were to immigration. Democrats to into this thinking they have the advantage, thinking Republicans are doomed, and terrifically over playing their hand.

The percentages are meaningless (A|B is not comparable with B|A).

What would be meaningful and interesting is to compare the proportion or the percentages of accept/deny mixtures that go one way (A-accept B-deny) compared to the other (A-deny B-accept). If Stanford denies the Caltech-accepted more frequently than the other direction it’s a sign that Stanford has more admissions leverage and can extract higher test scores from its “Caltech-like subset” than Caltech does.

But it isn’t really one more day, because the weekend intervenes. So it’s three more days to try to invent some bullshit story that people might actually buy. And weed is legal in California, so she’ll have all sorts of bullshit-enhancing drugs to assist her.

Ford claims she first “remembered” the incident six years ago. She wrote a letter to Sen. Feinstein two months ago. It finally came out in the news two weeks ago. She’s had plenty of time to prepare her testimony. Judge Kavanaugh only heard of the allegations two weeks ago, yet he’s ready to defend himself right now.

Funny, how when there’s a real criminal pattern, you can find lots of people to testify about it.

@14 Anonymous[404]: “I think a concept that is missed here is that China has a culture where once you have a baby, the woman must sit around, doing nothing, not bathing, drinking cold drinks, and many other rules, for a month. So the fact that they hung out at this place after the birth is largely a cultural phenomena.”

The vast majority of Han Chinese in Singapore (about 70% of the population) observed their centuries old practice of “confinement” after giving birth when I lived there in the early ’90s. Tons of elective caesareans and induced births to ensure the child was born on an ‘auspicious’ day, then a month lounging around, unbathed (because superior ancient eastern wisdom teaches that washing causes rheutmatism and arthritis), while grandma cared for the baby.

I don’t GAF what nonsensical superstitions Han want to believe in or practice in their OWN countries. None of them belong here. Model minority my a$$.

Not if it’s a quality gym, close to home, with great hours and not too much of a crowd.

The US is quite contradictory on this score. More than ever, it has more fitness options than ever, with the population on the whole getting puffier.

Besides the gym, there’s also the matter of using one’s surroundings for either power walk and/or runs, as well as getting some home fitness items. In the US, dumbbells can be bought at a dollar a pound.

No need to explain it to me. I try cases to juries.

Child bearing doesn’t ruin any ones looks. How could it? Gain 10 or 12 pounds* stomach sticks out for the last 6 or 7 weeks, baby arrives. You’re back to normal.

Pregnancy only affects the stomach and breasts. Few days after the birth you’re back to normal. Pregnancy doesn’t affect the face hair and legs at all.

Pregnancy only lasts 9 months in a lifetime.

* severe morning sickness prevents weight gain for the first 7 months.

What a bunch of horseshit. With “friends’ like this, who needs enemies. Kav should print out his “friend’s” advice and use it for toilet paper. Wittes pretends to have Kav’s best interests at heart but he’s just trying to trick him into withdrawing by convincing him that unless he can win “bigly” he shouldn’t even try. The truth is that a win is a win is a win. If Kav was a Dem would Wittes be giving him this advice? No way in hell.

I assume this means that Dems are convinced that they can’t win in a fair vote so they are desperately trying other tricks. That has been the theme of their scheming from the moment that Kav was announced. They will keep scheming until the vote is final (and even then I have seen columns saying that the new Democrat House should impeach him next year) so the Senate should just get it over with.

Looks like Grassley just caved.
