I had this massively weird dream this morning. A Tyrannosaur lady whose age was equivalent to about 21 years for a human, was celebrating because she had become fertile and her boyfriend was going to get her pregnant. She had received a little pink dress as a bridal gift from someone, and someone else had given her a pink negligee. Then her ( Read more... )

When I was a kid, somewhere back during the Ice Age (well, no, 1945-1970), we swapped jokes all the time. I was bullied a lot, but if I could get in there with a good joke, everybody would crack up, me included, and then everybody swapped jokes for several minutes, and we all went home happy for the day.

Lately the words "psychopath" and "psychopathic" have been thrown around to indicate such things as "I don't like that politician, therefore he is a psychopath" and similar uses. In fact, "psychopath," "psychopathic," and "psychopathy" are well-defined terms used in psychiatry and psychology to describe behavioral and psychological syndromes found ( Read more... )

As we know, Muslims have made the rape and other sexual use of children and raping and beating women by grown men part of their religion. As we also know, a great many wealthy and powerful people in the film industry -- not to mention in American politics -- have indulged themselves in pederasty and the rape of women also part of their culture, ( Read more... )
