You want to be a WHAT? I'm just asking. I've been freaking out all day over this article. It's hard to comprehend that there are people who are this weird.
I can handle the self-harm emo idiots, though I think it's unbelievably stupid.
When I meet these burner and cutter morons, I sometimes tell them flat out to their faces what stupid fucks they are. After all, they deserve it. If they feel bad about it, I go easy on them, but if they're proud of it, I lay into them hard.
The conversation usually goes like this.
We're sitting around with a bunch of people when one of these stupid young women says with an evil smile on her face, "I'm a cutter. I cut myself today."
I give a look like she picked the dog food out of its bowl on the ground and is stuffing her face with it. Then I stand up, point my finger and her and ask, "You know what?"
"What?" She asks.
"You're a stupid fucking asshole! You cut yourself, you moron! You're an idiot!"
Usually everyone else starts getting freaked out and telling me to sit down and shut up by that point. Then I usually get up and leave.
In Oakhurst, there was a club of idiot young women who were cutting themselves. They called themselves "Oakhurst Cutters" or something. They were also proud of their psych dx's (Why would anyone be?) and all the drugs they were on (Why would anyone brag about that?). The most prominent psych dx was obviously Borderline Personality Disorder, and they were often on atypical antipsychotics.
You guys out there, if you know any BPD females, just get away from them. Actually, that applies to women too. Nobody needs to have people like this in their lives. Let the Borderlines make friends with each other, except they can't. For all you Borderlines out there, I'm sorry you are so fucked up and mentally ill, but you really need to get help, you know?
When your mental disorder turns you to into an idiotic child doodling in coloring books at a nice restaurant with dolls sitting on the table or a person with God knows how many fake personalities you fade into and out of all the time just to be a walking freak show, or when it turns you into a screeching, raging freak-o, I mean, why should anyone associate with you? Especially when you're doing it all on purpose?
BPD has to be the worst mental disorder on Earth as far as tolerating the person. I had a friend who was in the early stages of paranoid schizophrenia. I hung out with him about every day for a year, while everyone kept telling me to get the Hell away from him. I wasn't scared of him.
I was trying to read his mind (to try to gauge what he was thinking to see if he was dangerous) all the time anyway, trying to figure him out, and I always felt secure. We used to get in arguments about the voices coming out my car radio even when it was turned off, but all in all, he was a pleasant and interesting fellow, ultimately with too many problems for me to deal with though.
I have a friend who's involved goes to mental health group therapy stuff. She's bipolar, and I can (barely) live with that. She likes to regale me with the latest tales of the horrible Borderlines in her group, who are despised by everyone in group. My response is always the same. I shake my head and say, "Hell, just take em out and shoot em." Then I laugh uncontrollably, because I think that's a hilarious thing to say.
When I do this, no one else laughs, and everyone looks at me like I'm a monster.
Good.
I really wonder how many of these idiots are Borderlines? And I wonder if the DSM is going to recognize Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID)?
BIID website, for the "transabled". How weird can you get? This is really disturbing!
It's also a paraphilia. It's tied in to sex, of course, and most sufferers are males, like a lot of really disturbing mental conditions.
There's also a paraphilia for the (probably guys) who get turned on by amputees. They prefer legs over arms, single limbs over multiple, and stumps over no stumps.
There was a porn star named Long Jean Silver ( biography here, adult content) back in the 70's who was an amputee. She had a stump for a leg. I recall references to her stump. Good-looking blond. I saw some of her movies, but I can't say that the fact that one of her legs had been hacked off turned me on. It was kinda gross, actually.
They have their own sicko websites and a whole list of abbreviations for what kind of amputations turn them on or that they desire for themselves.
The whole thing falls under the rubric of attraction to disability, which is some sort of a paraphilia. Wiki has a huge article about it, which is weird because I'd never heard of it before.
Then there are the legions of fakers out there, the disability pretenders, screwing it up for all the real hardcores who are dying to chop their fingers and legs off and have sex with women's stumps and whatnot. These clowns pretend to be disabled, use canes, crutches and wheelchairs, etc.
Now this I am more familiar with, as this is sliding into the territory of hypochondriasis, which unfortunately I have experience with, as I've known some hardcore hypochondriacs very well.
With some of the pretenders, they start maneuvering into hardcore territory by causing tissue necrosis via cutting off their blood supply. I'm familiar with this too, as it's heading into Munchausen's Syndrome. That's really weird in its own right.
I recall this one Munchausen's patient who kept showing up in hospitals with infections. They finally figured out she was diluting her own shit with water and injecting it into her veins. I've heard of dopers scoring some shit to shoot up, but that takes it to another level.
Boxing Helena (1993) is a movie, supposedly well-done, about a surgeon with this weird fetish who kidnaps a woman after her car accident, chops both of her legs off, and then later chops both of her arms off. The whole time she is being a ballbreaking bitch and telling him what an impotent wussy weenieboy he is.
Hmm. That's probably why he chopped her limbs off in the first place. I've had a few women treat me like that, and for sure I felt like taking a machete to em, though of course I never did.
Later she falls in love with him, I guess because she always thought her arms and legs were ugly anyway. Now he's got some female human caterpillar or whatever to have sex with, so I guess he's happy too.
I heard there was some guy in a large US city some decades ago who was a four-limbed amputee. They called him Caterpillar Man. Of course, this is why skateboards were created, so Caterpillar People could move around town. He figured out how to lie down on a skateboard and ride around town, and he was quite a sight to see. The story was that he was one mean SOB though, and he screamed and yelled at everyone around.
If I was a Human Worm never to sprout wings and turn into a Human Butterfly, I guess I'd be pissed too.
Then again, there's always the circus.
A disability devotee or "devotee" is one who desires a disabled partner.
Abasiophilia is a paraphilia for those who desire partners who limp, are on crutches, carry canes, are in walkers or use wheelchairs. When an abasiophiliac sees a neck brace, spinal brace, leg brace or prosthetic limb, he gets a hardon.
Whatever.
Abasiophilia was a lot more common back in the staid 1950's than in our twisted and evil 21st Century. That was at the height of the polio epidemic, and there were all these hotties hobbling around with leg braces, and a lot of guys got hooked and couldn't quit. Wow, that is too weird. Of all the bad things polio did to the human race, it also created a generation of perverts. Good God.
Crash (1996) was a famous movie along the same lines. There are weirdos in there who get turned on leg braces, scars on the body, violent and deadly car crashes, and all sorts of sick, messed up stuff. Pretty soon all of the leads are having sex with each other, gay, straight and otherwise.
The film ends when the lead deliberately crashes his car so he can damage his and his girlfriend's bodies, I guess so he can have the ultimate petit mort or something.
Fortunately, I never subjected myself to either Crash or Boxing Helena.
It's never too late in life to add a new perversion to a man's list, but I think I'll pass on all this weirdness.
Although I am actively trying to promote a type of disability fetishism called glasses fetishism. I know there are legions of women out there who get all week-kneed thinking of doing it with us four-eyed fuckers. You all just need to come out of your shells now. Nothing to be ashamed of.
We are venturing into the weird world of clothes fetishism. These are almost all guys. Here you have the idiots who break into women's apartments and only steal their underwear and guys who get jobs at shoe stores so they can caress feet all day.
My Mom worked for a psychologist once and this weird shoe fetishist used to call up now and again pretending to seek treatment. Then he would start in asking my Mom what kind of shoes she was wearing as his breathing got labored. He was a barrel of ticks; he kept the whole office laughing.
Sexmaniacman tells me that many women (mostly young women 18-35) have an uncontrollable leather fetish. If you're a young, sexy, good-looking guy, get yourself an old beatup 1950's James Dean leather jacket and then strut around and act really hard, tough and somewhat menacing and intimidating like Marlon Brando in The Wild One.
He says he wore that jacket out to clubs and concerts all the time and women, total strangers, were always drooling and rubbing their hands on his jacket as they moved past him. Worked great on a date too, sort of like Spanish Fly woven over your chest. He insists that leather turns young women into animals.
I always thought it was horrible that the Nazis took the mentally ill out and shot them, but after meeting some Borderlines and these BIID idiots, a single bullet sounds like the best cure of all.
Right. Hell, just take em out and shoot em. Why not?

Latest on the Evil Wikipedia Cabal
A diabolical cabal stalks Wikipedia. It monopolizes the editing, breaks every rule in the book and then enforces the same rules against everyone it doesn't like, throws people off for no reason, and then hilariously pretends to be objective.
Wikipedia, from the sleazy porn merchant God in Flesh Jimbo on down, is like a conspiracy-riven Arab dictatorship. Nobody's honest, nobody's decent, everyone's corrupt, and you never know when it's going to be you with the knife in the back mumbling, "Et tu, Brute?"
Essjay, a top Wikipedia administrator, has resigned after a wicked mailing list was uncovered that revealed top administrators plotting to break rules to keep their nefarious activities shrouded in Cheney-like secrecy.
He also cleverly faked an entire persona as a university professor, gay, living with a partner named Robbie, with a cat named Mia and a lab named Ami.
He made up the following degrees for himself: Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies (B.A.), Master of Arts in Religion (M.A.R.), Doctorate of Philosophy in Theology (Ph.D.), Doctorate in Canon Law (JCD). He rapidly made his way up the Wikipedia ladder. At the end, he held the following positions, despite his massive fraud:
He always cloaked his IP, and no one was ever able to figure out who he was. Some were convinced he was working for an intelligence agency or he was actually a committee, not a single person.
When he was finally uncovered, the slimeball Jimmy Wales defended Essay's fraud.
Figures.
Hey Jimmy Wales.
You're a dick.
Essjay is gone. That big black box suggests that he is dead, and for a moment, my heart leapt to the skies. But unfortunately he's only been killed from Wikipedia .
Like most crooks, he protests his innocence til the end.
Bye Essjay. You will not be missed.
This exercise in mass corruption is insanely hailed the purest form of democracy in modern society. Fine, maybe it is. In that case, give me Stalin. I'd probably stay alive longer under him anyway. Stalin may have been a bastard, but he was never a crook.

Hispanic Scholarship Fund is Racist!
So says the illegal alien students at UCLA.
Why, you may ask? They discriminate against Whites? They can't stand Blacks? Nothing so mundane.
So what diabolical crime did they commit?
If you're an illegal alien, you don't get a damned scholarship!
Oh, boo hoo!
Well, good for them.
As of today, I am on record as supporting the Hispanic Scholarship Fund 100%. Surely there are many legal Hispanic immigrants and Hispanic citizens who come from modest means, yet show great promise as potential university students. An organization like this helps poor, bright students to achieve their dreams and be an asset to society in spite of our criminally expensive post-secondary system.

Screw the Dream Act
Blog dedicated to illegal immigrants currently ripping off the broke state of California by going to our universities without paying the foreign student fees that everyone else has to pay.
Yep.
California really is that stupid.
If you're an honest foreigner and admit you are a legal immigrant to the US, you have to pay out of state or foreign student fees to go to university here in the US. If you come from another state of the US, you need to pay out of state fees.
If you lie and invade my country like a criminal, sneaking in here in violation of our laws, you get the royal carpet treatment. You don't have to pay out of state fees, and you don't have to pay foreign student fees either.
Hell, why not just waive the fees altogether? Let all the illegals go to school for free, and make the real Americans and the legal immigrants pay through the nose. That's about where this lunatic state of ours is headed. California is writing the book on insane with all this illegal alien coddling.
The folks who run this blog are apparently illegal immigrants at UCLA. They are obviously highly intelligent, and they probably behave quite well. They'd probably be an asset to society, except they broke all the damn rules and cheated to get in. That's not fair to everyone who did it right.
It's dedicated to their misnamed Dream Act, which I hope is never passed. And yeah, it is amnesty, by the way.
If they only wanted to pass the Dream Act, it might be tolerable. But they want to legalize all the illegals, and that would be a complete catastrophe. A poster here notes that illegals are now being forced to turn into con artists to sneak in here. Wow. I thought the whole idea of being an illegal in the first place was a gigantic con, with US society as the butt of the joke.
I'd really like to know the whole agenda here. OK, we legalize 12-20 million illegals, and insure that another 40 million chain migrants are coming in later. After a disaster like that, what do you do for an encore?
Ok, so now what? Secure the border? What's to stop more illegals from pouring in? I have a sneaking suspicion that almost all of these illegal alien activists really support Open Borders. Prove to me that they don't.
I supported the Dream Act until 1½ years ago when I moved to a city totally overrun by Mesoamerican illegal immigrants. Now I oppose it with every fiber in my body. I will say that if this town was full of folks like the undergrads running that blog, I'm not sure if I care. Those undergrads are not typical illegals, and that's the whole problem.
It shouldn't be real difficult for them to head back to Mexico and enroll in a university there. If you ask me, Mexican universities are actually more demanding than American ones, at least at the BA level. I think Mexican universities are even free. What's stopping you all?

Annoying Teenage Girls
I am looking for translators to translate this post into German. Email me if you are interested.
I'm normally sympathetic to the teenage girls in these kinds of cases, but something about this stuff makes me worry. What exactly is it that men are not supposed to do in these cases? What exactly did this guy do wrong? Following them? Ok, that's pretty damn weird. Stopping ahead of them several times? That's strange.
Leering at them as they walked by? Shit. That's a crime? I check out teenage girls myself if they're hot enough, and teenage girls look at me too. For some reason, Felony Leering Molestation creeps me out a lot more than this guy's behavior.
But this guy's basically acting like a stalker.
Here's another one. This guy pulled over to talk to some teenage girls walking home from school. I wonder what he said?
Then they found porn in his vehicle! Oh no! What a sick fuck! Only sick pedophiles read porn! The porn had "young adults"! Ew! Child molester! We know he's a child molester because of the word "young." Non-pedos only read MILF and old lady porn, that's how we know they are non-pedos.
He also had pregnant porn in his car! Ew gross! Big fat gross pregnant chicks getting laid! What a creep! Only a sick creep would have sex with a pregnant chick. Normal guys won't even look at their wives until after they drop.
They arrested him for felony talking molestation.
Ok, so if talk to an underage girl, am I annoying her? Can I go down on Felony Annoying Molesting, whatever the Hell that is? Do any of you all find this stuff worrying? How does one even know when one is breaking the law anyway? I talk to kids sometimes. What the heck? Am I breaking the law or what?
I'm wondering if it is a crime to "annoy" adult females in this way? At what point are we annoying an adult female anyway? What the Hell? I don't know about these laws. They give me a bad feeling.
Here's a coach. I think what he did was pretty cool. He tied up some teenage girls, then he put tape over their mouths. He didn't have sex with them though, he just temporarily restrained their annoyingness with some binding and gagging objects. Dude! You're awesome. You got a defense fund?
I like this guy too. He's a male witch, a warlock. How evil can you get? And he enslaved teenage girls! How did he do it. Mind control, baby, mind control. He swung a watch in front of them til they turned into kinky teenslut Stepford Teen automatons! He turned them into "sex slaves." Yo! All women should be like this! Specifically, he used "hypnotism and mind-altering techniques to entice two 15-year-old girls into prostitution, sado-masochism and black magic." Yo!
This is too funny:
No wait. There's a punch line:
On the other hand, these guys here, here, here, here, here, here and here are engaging in some pretty messed-up behavior.
Good legal case where a state Supreme Court ruled that "annoying" was so vague a crime that one could hardly figure out when one was breaking the law and when one was not:
The case above is a pretty standard reiteration of how many US courts have thrown out statutes on "vagueness" grounds.
I do agree that annoying children (noun phrase) should be illegal, but I'm a bit worried about annoying children (verb phrase) being illegal.

This is too funny:
The self-proclaimed warlock enslaved two troubled 15-year-old girls who came to him for counseling and used black magic and mumbo jumbo to entice them into prostitution and sadomasochism.No problem jailing the dude, but I think the girls should go to jail too - for aggravated felony stupidity. From the article: "He duped them into believing that kinky sexual acts were actually pagan rites." LOL! Hey, are there any adult women this stupid? I want to get into this warlock thing; it sounds promising. Do they offer courses anywhere?
The girls were fed illegal drugs and Fletcher used mind altering techniques and hypnotism to dupe them into believing kinky sexual acts - in which they were tied up and whipped - were pagan rites.
He also advertised one of the girls on the Internet as a submissive teen schoolgirl...bruisable and will take belt and paddle...wears dog collar and nipple clamps."
The sorcerer's evil spell was broken when he was jailed for ten years with a minimum of eight years.
No wait. There's a punch line:
Authorities are also trying to determine if the girls were forced or had consented to take part in the tie-ups.Haha! Actually, they filled out job applications for the position, and there was a long waiting list, but these were the lucky girls who got chosen for the Bondage Model position.
On the other hand, these guys here, here, here, here, here, here and here are engaging in some pretty messed-up behavior.
Good legal case where a state Supreme Court ruled that "annoying" was so vague a crime that one could hardly figure out when one was breaking the law and when one was not:
On the other hand, conflicting Nevada case law suggests that this court will consider whether an enactment is facially void for vagueness, even if no First Amendment interests are implicated, when the challenged statute is so vague that it fails to give persons of ordinary intelligence fair notice of what conduct is permitted or forbidden.The bolded text is hilarious.
For example, in Cunningham v. State, this court upheld a facial vagueness challenge to a statute under the Due Process Clause of the Nevada Constitution as appropriate, where the challenged statute prohibited "the doing of an act in terms so vague that people of common intelligence [were required to] necessarily guess as to its meaning" and where the statute was "so vague that it [did] not provide a constitutional basis for criminal prosecution."
In Coates v. City of Cincinnati , the Supreme Court considered the use of the word "annoy" in an ordinance that made it unlawful for three or more people to assemble on a sidewalk and "conduct themselves in a manner annoying to persons passing by." In holding that the ordinance was "unconstitutionally vague because it subjects the exercise of the right of assembly to an unascertainable standard," the Court reasoned:
Conduct that annoys some people does not annoy others. Thus, the ordinance is vague, not in the sense that it requires a person to conform his conduct to an imprecise but comprehensible normative standard, but rather in the sense that no standard of conduct is specified at all. As a result, "men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning."
We conclude that the standard of conduct proscribed by NRS 207.260, namely, conduct which is "annoying," does not provide fair notice because the citizens of Nevada must guess when conduct that bothers, disturbs, irritates or harasses a minor rises to the level of criminal conduct.
I agree with the majority that the conduct of "annoying a minor" is unconstitutionally vague. That charge is unconstitutional because it "fails to notify individuals what conduct is prohibited, and it encourages arbitrary and capricious enforcement by police." If annoying a minor alone were unlawful, virtually every parent would at one time or another be a lawbreaker.
The case above is a pretty standard reiteration of how many US courts have thrown out statutes on "vagueness" grounds.
I do agree that annoying children (noun phrase) should be illegal, but I'm a bit worried about annoying children (verb phrase) being illegal.
