Smoking while moving military explosives is so not safety conscious...

[Svartalf]

Typical Slavic MO, though.

Typical Slavic MO, though.

A new study has discovered that smoking while moving military explosives is a typical Slavic MO. Professor Theophrastus de Smarthalf, head of the Department of Phrenology at Vichy University, announced his team of scientists have found the underlying reason for it: A lack of safety consciousness. The part of the brain responsible for Cautiousness, normally found nestled directly below the part responsible for Approbativeness in almost all fully human individuals, is either underdeveloped or missing altogether in the Slavic peoples.

I see rather an expression of the smoker mentality. One of those 'smoke 'em if you've got 'em' moments. In this instance akin to the condemned person's one last smoke. If things go horribly pear-shaped in the process, at least he had his cigarette.

Paracelsus was a pioneer. The phrenologists were retrogrades.

[Svartalf]

Well, he still wrote quite his share of unscientific hocus pocus...
as for phrenologists, well, bad science is woo, and I never got how they could map things out so precisely when they should have noticed that their results were not what could be expected...

Paracelsus did indeed. Still, the medic was a pioneer in his field five centuries ago.

You do realise that I used phrenology in order to ridicule your statement in this post, don't you?

[Svartalf]

Man, just looking at your avatar, I know you're born delinquent, a natural lowlife, and a danger to society, phrenology and physiognomy would only tell how right my assessment is.

He: The West has a vested interest in Russia losing in Ukraine or at least paying very dearly for their invasion - delivering weapons and other support is cheap in comparison to risking Putin using the troops he no longer needs in Ukraine to threaten the Baltics

Me: All he needs to do is to get Trump II elected. Then he has 4 more years to freely terrorize all his neighbors.

It has to be a populist Republican who capitalizes on the new Trump class of voters to bring down government. Nothing related to Trump, just a new improved autocrat and the type that appeals to the Trump base. Trump was well on his way to strip down the EPA etc. Part of this "small" movement is to pull our military out of the world. We will just use submarines and air craft carriers to keep our seeming superiority.

You got 33.3% of your assessment right. I probably couldn't do much better by just looking at your avatar. After reading most of your 37992 posts I am better informed, though.

It's not one size fits all. "Black culture" certainly has something to do with black poverty. So does systematic racism.

I don't know if it has to do with poverty, but there's no such thing as "black culture"... was I properly systematically racist?

we HAVE TO be racist, or we'll be overrun and overwhelmed.

This old racist has little sympathy for the BLM movement, but a country where you're safer when there are no LEO about than when there are... that's effed up.

then I was taught early and well, and in spite of my parents. at 7 I had already a severe preference for whites over coloureds.

I'm racist, i didn't learn anything I didn't know.

I'm racist too, for I do the same, but I don't feel any guilt, I'm not normal I guess.

Blue is an illusion, Svarty, and seeing it probably means you're a racist pedophile...

I'm a racist ephebophile, I'm not drawn to underripe girls

My dad has now taken to posting Pro Brexit videos on Facebook and Twitter. And really bad/xenophobic ones at that

You have my deepest sympathy. This w/e my father, in relation to the referendum, actually said, "I'm not a racist, but ... (immigration) ..."

Well, I oppose arab and african immigration, but I have the honesty of identifying as racist.

et cetera

So, it seems I plead guilty to the charge, should I be ashamed of not trying to hide who I really am?
