In this sketch, the blond ditz “Amy Schumer”—a self-lacerating version of the comedian who plays her—finds out that she’s got herpes from a hookup. Her irritated Creator notes that this is the first time she’s prayed to him in years. Schumer explains that she’s a role model now, and that young girls shouldn’t see her buying Valtrex. God says he’ll have to destroy a village in Uzbekistan to cure her; she’s cool with that. However, she refuses his demand that she stop drinking. “Can I just blow you?” she whines. “I’m gay,” he says, disgusted. - The Little Tramp

Selfish, Shallow, and Self-Absorbed

сразу несколько интересных статей в nyt, вот No Kids for Me, Thanks:

Anna Holmes cataloged the “hoary ideas of womanhood” on display in her Brooklyn neighborhood, which has “overpriced boutiques filled with one-of-a-kind maternity clothes and hundred-dollar sets of receiving blankets made of ‘all-organic cotton.’ ”

Laura Kipnis wrote about her “profound dread of being conscripted into the community of other mothers — the sociality of the playground and day-care center, and at the endless activities and lessons that are de rigueur in today’s codes of upper-middle-class parenting.”

в тексте много ссылок на источники из современной культуры, познавательно. Stepford moms, к примеру.

sense of futility

A Cartoonist's Funny, Heartbreaking Take On Caring For Aging Parents

And I just finally, I wound up paying the super to empty it. And it was horrible in some ways because I just couldn't make any more trips out to Brooklyn to go through their (bleep).
...
GROSS: Did you feel this sense of futility? Like, your parents had saved and saved and saved things - in part because they were hoarders and in part because they were so frugal, having come of age during the Depression. And then they get sick and everything just gets put in Hefty bags and that's it.
...
And sometimes I'm horrified when I look back on this. On other hand, I think about something a friend of mine who had gone through something similar said, which was that if you don't think your children will be interested, don't keep it. And he's absolutely right. I mean, I feel much more conscious of how much stuff I have now and what are my kids going to do with my stuff once I die. And, you know, do I want more stuff in my house? Like, not really.

My Twisted World

The world that I grew up thinking was bright and blissful was all over. I was living in a depraved world, and I didn’t want to accept it. I didn’t want to give any thought to it. That is why I immersed myself entirely into my online games like World of Warcraft. I felt safe there.
...
Halo 3 came out in November. I got my mother to buy it for me on the very day it was released. I had a lot of fun playing it while drinking the special mountain dew flavor that was released with the game; Mountain Dew Game Fuel, it was called.
...
Females truly have something mentally wrong with them. Their minds are flawed... All of the hot, beautiful girls walked around with obnoxious, tough jock-type men who partied all the time and acted crazy. They should be going for intelligent gentlemen such as myself. Women are sexually attracted to the wrong type of man. This is a major flaw in the very foundation of humanity. It is completely and utterly wrong, in every sense of the word. - My Twisted World

для примера - отрывки из статьи The 'Twisted World' of Elliot Rodger (American Thinker)

His father Peter Rodger was an aspiring British film director who uprooted Elliot from his native England when the boy was five and moved the family to Southern California.
This move was disruptive enough...

выделено мной - вс. это что же тут такого disruptive? почему uprooted? его увезли не из Уганды в Швецию все-таки... и в пять лет переезды еще не так уж и травмируют, наверное.

...the real disruption occurred two years later. Like so many Californians, Rodger’s mother and father divorced.

что тут скажешь...

For all my cost,
Yet for all that I trowe

A fayre ryddaunce,
And am quyt of a shrew.

'Jaws,' 'Driving Miss Daisy' producer Richard Zanuck dies at 77 - all is clearly written on the face of the bloody bastard, Jaws and everything else.

Philadelphia Seeks Balance on Frisk Policy

Venice. A court of justice.

For herein Fortune shows herself more kind
Than is her custom. It is still her use
To let the wretched man outlive his wealth,
To view with hollow eye and wrinkled brow
An age of poverty; from which lingering penance
Of such misery doth she cut me off.

How America made its children crazy

article in Asia Times by Spengler , quoting an article on ADD and drugs used to "cure" it:

Professor L Alan Sroufe's debunking of ADD medication in the New York Times contains this admission:

''Back in the 1960s I, like most psychologists, believed that children with difficulty concentrating were suffering from a brain problem of genetic or otherwise inborn origin. Just as Type I diabetics need insulin to correct problems with their inborn biochemistry, these children were believed to require attention-deficit drugs to correct theirs. It turns out, however, that there is little to no evidence to support this theory.''

and many other interesting things about elite schools, where teaching is done in a very traditional way, and the "most wired" schools in America, teaching Shakespeare through rap.

1. Try to imagine how much brainwashing it would take to convince all the Asians in the world, that they need to go ahead and replace their children and grandchildren with Mexicans.

2. Now imagine that they were so totally mind conditioned and brainwashed. That they really believed it would be "RACIST" not to????
