What a fucking useless platitude. Time heals nothing. Pain doesn't go away. It's always there, in the back of your psyche. Time is to pain as being in New Orleans is to San Francisco. You've got some distance between you, but it's still there. And it'll still cross your mind from time to time.  Moral of the story: stop fucking whining and spouting of platitudes. Just get the fuck on with your lives.

Which is why I don't trust what they say, but what they do.
You think they're going to say they'll serve anybody and then covertly sneak gays out the back door so nobody will suspect anything?
I'm not answering that loaded question.
Okay, what makes you think a business would say one thing like "I will serve everybody" and then not serve everybody?

Fucking hell. Bibi just had to go and abandon Israel's moral high ground for his own re-election, and I can't say I blame Obama for this outcome. The US cannot so strongly associate with a head of state who uses scare tactics and abandons his own principles for selfish political gain. We were already seemingly the last Western power to give a damn about Israel's safety, and at least right now it would only be hurting our image.
God fucking dammit.
Netanyahu wasn't exactly wrong. Hamas is a barrier to the two-state solution.

IndependentA group of young British Muslims have declared their own “jihad” against Isis and all other terrorist groups.
The Muslim Youth League UK announced an ideological holy war against the Islamic State at a conference in Glasgow on Sunday, saying militants had “no link with Islam or the Muslim community”.
It is concerned that recruitment by the group is on the rise in the UK, targeting teenage girls and boys with gory propaganda videos and social media accounts boasting of life under the “caliphate”.
Shaykh Rehan Ahmed Raza, president of Muslim Youth League UK, said: "Our efforts are aimed at deterring further ISIS recruitment in Britain and defending the Muslim community, who feel their religion has been hijacked."
He announced a seven-point declaration calling the killing of any person un-Islamic, whatever their faith, and condemning extremists’ “deviation” from the teachings of Prophet Muhammad and the Koran.
“The emergence of the terrorists, who would use the name of Islam to justify their atrocious activities, was prophesied by Prophet Muhammad. He declared them as being out of the ambit of Islam,” the declaration continues.
“We challenge Isis, similar groups and their supporters ideologically and intellectually.”
The league also announced that it rejects Islamophobic “labelling” of Muslims as extremists or terrorists by politicians, the media and public.
“We ask Muslims from all walks of life, regardless of the school of thought to which they belong, to stand united against extremists who have hijacked the true teachings of Islam,” its declaration added.
“We call upon scholars and community leaders to raise a united and unwavering voice against extremism.”
While an unknown number of British men, women and teenagers have joined Isis in Iraq or Syria, its atrocities against civilians and the murder of foreign hostages has provoked widespread condemnation.
The Muslim Youth League and other groups are fighting back against its propaganda online and through engagement work in schools and communities.
“The barbarism and lack of respect for the sanctity of human life shown by Isis is a challenge to every civilised value, not least to the tenets of Islam,” a spokesperson for the group said.
The Muslim Youth League represents young Muslims in the UK and aims to promote unity and tolerance.
A spokesperson said its declaration of “jihad” against Isis hoped to inspire similar statements from other British Islamic groups condemning extremism.
At least 60 British women and girls as young as 15 have joined Isis in Syria so far, police say, including three London schoolgirls who disappeared earlier this year. This would be a good idea if it wasn't I) Muslim, II) factionalist and III) denialist about ISIS's theology. In fact, it would be better if it didn't fucking exist and these morons just condemned ISIS like any other decent person instead of confusing the issue with theological points and more holy wars. Fuck off.

She also recently spoke at the NUS conference I've posted about.Her tweets are in the spoilers. We pleased to see that our article on sexism at the 2015 NUS Women’s conference appear to have really struck a chord. It’s already received over ten thousand unique visits in just a few days and seeing as there’s so much interest we decided to write a follow up and examine some of the latest developments in the story.
The scandal began with a Tweet by Sarah Noble, who openly boasted of her proposal at the conference expressing the “need to remove men from society”. Such a hateful statement seemingly calling for the genocide of men isn’t too out of the ordinary in more extremist feminist circles. However, we discovered that Sarah sits on no less than three Liberal Democrat executive committees and also a a fourth position on the policy committee of Liberal Youth, and thus gets to influence policy for a major UK political party. In addition to its hateful content, the timing of the tweet is also unfortunate with the story mushrooming just as the Lib Dems launch their 2015 General Election campaign. Interestingly, Sarah also holds a senior position in administering a feminist block bot on Twitter that blocks and smears the likes of Richard Dawkins and Brian Cox amongst countless others, and we’ll have more on that subject that in our next article.
Unlike an equally vile article by the Independent which was also published recently, Sarah decided to leave her hateful Tweet in place we thought we’d take a closer look to see if it was just a one-off, or part of a pattern of hatred of men. Here’s what we found:
So men need removing from society and putting in the bin (though they’ll just crawl out like animals anyway).
Entitled pigs who abuse and objectify women? I guess that explains why we “need” to remove them from society. Still, in all fairness to Sarah, she’s never explained exactly how such a removal would take place and she hasn’t actually advocated for actual violence of any sort…
Ok, so she’s advocated violence against men once…
Well OK it was actually all men, and she’s done it twice now the link has various nursery rhymes on the same hateful, threatening and violent theme. Some make reference to murdering old men, cutting of men’s genitalia, dancing on dead mens’ graves and other similar hate crimes. Anyhow, onto the next tweet:
That’s three “kill all men” tweets for anyone who’s counting. Remember, this isn’t a random Twitter feminist we’re looking at here, she really is an influential Liberal Democrat politician who sits on three executive committees and a further policy committee too.

It looks as though the market is working, at least for Indiana.Important bits are underlined. At the Corner Wine Bar and Wellington Pub in Broad Ripple, the menu board outside proclaimed “service for everyone.” It’s a slogan that began popping up across Indiana Thursday, in doorways, on windows and other spots, in response to Gov. Mike Pence signing of Indiana’s hot-button religious freedom law.
The Broad Ripple restaurant and pub also posted the slogan in Facebook posts that were quickly “greeted with multiple ‘likes,’” its general manager Ashley Daubenspeck said.
The slogan’s meaning, she explained: “We don’t discriminate and we are happy to serve anybody.”
Hours after Pence signed the measure, dozens of calls by reporters to Central Indiana businesses couldn’t find one willing to admit it planned to use the new law to discriminate against some customers for religious reasons. That was the fear expressed most often by opponents of the measure, including gay rights groups and others.
Most businesses contacted Thursday insisted they had no desire to discriminate against any of their customers. For many, the law brought a new worry: that it will spawn a backlash of negative public reaction that will discourage tourists from coming to the state and some residents from spending money here for certain services.
One scenario sketched out by opponents of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act was that the law would give wedding-related businesses the legal right to refuse to serve same-sex weddings. In 2014, an Indianapolis cake shop that’s now closed did just that. Years earlier an Indianapolis bakery wouldn’t sell its baked goods to a gay customer.
But several businesses in the wedding industry didn’t see the new law causing a rise in such practices.
Taylor’s Bakery of Indianapolis and Fishers, one the oldest bakeries in the state, said it has made many wedding and commitment cakes for gay couples, and plans to continue.
“Our door is open to everyone,” said John Allen, the bakery’s president. “Why would you run off business? I don’t understand who would do that. I don’t know anyone who would.”
Classic Cakes in Carmel was of similar mind. “I have very strong religious beliefs, but I am not going to judge anyone who walks in the door,” said owner Ilene McHone.
Wedding planner Renea Gates said she serves all kinds of clients, and doesn’t care about their sexual or religious beliefs. “I’ve served Christians, Muslims, Baptists, atheists, gays, straight – I just don’t care,” said Gates, owner of Elite Coordinators. “I am going to keep serving everyone.”
Wedding photographer Jennifer Van Elk said she worries the new law could prompt gay couples to choose other states for wedding ceremonies and receptions, costing Indiana money.
“They will miss great opportunities to work with great people because the religious freedom bill will scare those great people away from getting married in our state,” she said.
Tom Trine, owner of Elite Banquet and Conference Center in Kokomo, sees little changing for him under the new law.
“I just don’t think it’s going to be a business killer,” he said. He said he knows how he’d react if a business owner chose to discriminate against him for religious reasons.
“If somebody would tell me they don’t want to serve me then I wouldn’t want to give them my business. I’d go somewhere else.”
Both the Indiana and Indianapolis area chambers of commerce decried passage of the law.
“In our eyes, the law is entirely unnecessary. The reactions to it are not unexpected or unpredicted; passing the law was always going to bring the state unwanted attention,” said Kevin Brinegar, CEO of the state chamber.
“The Indy Chamber remains opposed to this divisive and unnecessary law,” said CEO Michael Huber. “We warned of the impending negative economic impact this legislation would have on our ability to attract and retain jobs, talent, and investment, noting the bill will encourage current and potential residents, and visitors to take their business elsewhere.”
“Within moments of this legislation being signed,” Huber said, “this warning became a stark reality.”
The early fallout from the bill’s signing was an announcement via Twitter by Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff that his San Francisco company will stop sending out-of-state staff to meetings in Indianapolis with its locally based ExactTarget division.
A Salesforce spokeswoman said Benioff wouldn’t expound on his remark.
At Shapiro’s Delicatessen, a near Downtown fixture, owner Brian Shapiro said he worried the bill would “foster anti-Semitism and a lack of tolerance.”
“Shouldn't the legislators be passing bills that help the business community, not hurt us? My great-grandmother, Rebecca Shapiro, once said: The only bad customer is the one that doesn't come in.”
The business community also suggested the law would impact the quality of their workforces. In testimony in the legislature while the bill was debated, several businesses said the law would hamper efforts to retain employees and recruit new hires because some might object to living in a state with a religious freedom law in place.
About 20 other states, including Texas, Florida, Illinois and Louisiana, have passed religious freedom laws since 1993 that are the same or similar to Indiana’s. Those laws passed for the most part with little or no controversy. The passage of Indiana’s law comes at a time of debate over same-sex marriage legislation that heightens the public sensitivity over sexual and other types of discrimination.
A consultant to the convention and meetings industry, Joan Eisenstodt, president of Eisenstodt Associates in Washington, D.C., said she’s never had a client ask her to avoid meeting in a state with a religious freedom law in place. But that could change with the public furor over Indiana’s passage of its law, she said.
“It’s been more on the radar and people are more aware of this,” she said. “Groups are going to be out there and make the connection” that a state has passed a Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
“It’s going to be a very interesting issue,” she said. “And Indiana is going to be on the forefront of dealing with this and is probably going to lose some (convention and meeting) business.”
Another meeting consultant, Tim Brown, CEO of Meetings Sites Resources of Irvine, Calif., said it’s unlikely that conventions or other groups will cancel already scheduled meetings in Indiana because they’d have to pay stiff cancellation fees to hotels. But the multimillion-dollar convention industry in Indianapolis could be hurt if groups that book conventions years ahead of time decide to avoid Indiana, he said.
“It’s hard to quantify,” how strong the anti-Indiana feeling will be in the convention and meeting industry, he said. “But you really are talking about the potential loss of revenue and jobs if it gets legs.” If anything, the biggest problem with the law is the negative attention it brought to the state. It also looks as if the bakery refusing to sell to gays might have gone out of business. I guess people can be responsible.
