List of reasons for admission to an insane asylum from the late 1800s
Dangerous Minds ^

After viewing this list of what could have gotten you admitted to West Virginia’s Hospital for the Insane (Weston) aka Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum back in the late-1800s, I’ve swiftly concluded that the criteria was rather all-encompassing. Who among us is a stranger to what’s on this list?
In this century, it looks more like a “wish list” for Dr. Phil’s guest bookers!
Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum is still open, but only for tours.

[Snusdog]

about midway down the first column........"Tobacco and Masturbation" ...got you admitted

Hell today.......they just send you to Snuson

So really not much has changed

[Snusdog]

and then at the bottom of the first column there is......... Deranged masturbation

But what masturbation isn't deranged

cause Hallie Berry ripping off her shirt for you in the stock room at the mall....is a scenario that just reeks of reality

[Snusdog]

So to summarize- The folks in West VA are against

1) God
2) Wacking off
3) and Tobacco

Hell that's 90% of southern culture.........which is exactly why we shoved their sorry asses just north of the Mason-Dixon line

Masturbation for 30 Years ... what if someone has been doing it longer?

Or better yet, what about those poor souls that have been suffering from Suppressed Masturbation?

Couple who took their 5-foot boa constrictor for swim in Pennsylvania river say it vanished

DANVILLE, Pa – A couple who took their nearly 5-foot boa constrictor for a swim in a Pennsylvania river say the pet slipped away and they're concerned about its welfare.

The Bloomsburg Press Enterprise reported Thursday that Kolby and Zachary Latranyi had been swimming with the snake named Leyla last weekend in the Susquehanna River. The Latranyis say the red-tailed boa was shedding, so the swim was designed to help it remove material from its scales.

NYC pizzeria accused of racism for ingredients, name of pizza slice

One man's rations is another's racism. That's what a Manhattan pizzeria named Pizza by Certé discovered when passersby noticed the sign for a summertime specialty — and promptly uploaded a snapshot of the same to Instagram. The sign advertised a pizza slice with the curious name “Pic-a-nika” and even more curious toppings, among them Southern-fried chicken and watermelon.
The owner of the restaurant maintains that the name of the creation comes from the lilting manner in which his father, who emigrated here from Italy, pronounces the word picnic. And what foods are more common picnic fare than fried chicken and watermelon?
But those foods are also stereotypes. And the nika part of the name? Well that may come a little too close for comfort to a well-known racial slur.
Be that as it may, Pizza by Certé's manager, Victor Guzman, told New York station WPIX that the dish — which also includes decidedly non-stereotypical ingredients such as baby arugula, goat cheese, ricotta, blue cheese, and sunflower seeds — is a best-seller and is here to stay.
But these are highly emotional times. It has taken far less than this to inflame passions. If you want to sample a slice of Pic-a-nika, my advice is to hurry.
Pizza by Certé is located at 132 E 56th Street, bet. Park and Lexington Aves, (212) 813-2020

Farrakhan shouts 'Allah Akbar,' says white people know they 'deserve to die'



Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan addresses the audience at the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church in in Washington, D.C., June 24, 2015. Farrakhan met with local leaders to discuss the upcoming "Million Man March" on October 10, 2015. In his most recent promotion of the event in Milwaukee, Wisc., on Aug. 13, Farrakhan told an audience to prepare for God to rescue the black community in the event of a race war through the use of a UFO.


MILWAUKEE, Wisc. (Christian Examiner) – After two weeks of news reports that Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan had called for an army of 10,000 volunteers to kill white people if the government doesn't give the black community "justice," Farrakhan is reshaping his message – but only slightly.
In a new video of a three-hour address given Aug. 13, Farrakhan said white people (presumably the news media reporting on his previous comments) reported his controversial comments to provoke a race war when he gathered with his followers at the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March on Oct. 10 in Washington, D.C.
Three hours and 18 minutes into the video, Farrakhan says:
"I wouldn't bring our young women and young men into some place to be slaughtered. But that's what the white man hopes for. That's why he makes mischief with my words. 'Farrakhan wanna get an army to kill people,' because, you see, white people deserve to die. And they know so and they think it's us coming to do it. No, no, no."
Farrakhan later said in the video that a God will send a UFO, "a chariot" or "wheel in the sky," to rescue his followers and carry out justice if a race war began.

If Bruce Jenner Goes To Jail, Will He Get To Pick Boys’ Or Girls’?
Daily Caller ^


As we all know, gender is a social construct. It has nothing to do with millions of years of evolution. It has nothing to do with millennia of social mores. It’s a personal decision. If you were born with boy parts but you decide you’re actually a girl, presto, you’re a girl. If you’re a boy who just happens to have girl parts, same deal. Nobody can tell you who you really are.
And anybody who disagrees with any of the above is something called a transphobe.
Which means this one could get a little bit tricky. Kaitlan Collins reports:

Caitlyn Jenner might face a manslaughter charge because of a February car wreck he was involved in that left one woman dead…

Detective Richard Curry said there’s “nothing really egregious” about the case, so Jenner is looking at a 50/50 chance of being charged.

So it’s a coin toss. What happens if Jenner is charged, convicted, and sentenced to prison? Will he go to a men’s prison or a women’s prison?

If you say it should be a men’s prison, isn’t that transphobic? If Vanity Fair and E! and everybody else say he’s a woman, why should the prison system say any different?
If you say it should be a women’s prison, what sort of precedent will that set? What’s to keep subsequent male convicts from declaring themselves female as well and demanding to go to girl jail?
I dunno, it’s a tough one. Maybe we should start building trans-only prisons. Otherwise, the potential for misgendering and deadnaming and other such microaggressions is too great. Criminals have feelings, too.

Old Women Battle With Razor, Pepper Spray On JetBlue Flight

Two people have been arrested and two others hospitalized in New York after a passenger spat between two women on a plane escalated into a bruising battle involving a razor blade and pepper spray.
It all started Wednesday, when JetBlue Flight 690 arrived at JFK International Airport from Kingston, Jamaica. According to the New York Post, 61-year-old Jean Ballentine grew restless waiting to disembark from the plane and decided to simply clamber over fellow passenger Mary Cannady, 52, who was sitting in an aisle seat.
That was a mistake.
Cannady shoved Ballentine away, and Ballentine apparently retaliated by punching Cannady in the face, then breaking out an eyebrow razor she used to slash both Cannady and a male passenger who attempted to intervene.
Cannady in turn decided to break out a can of pepper spray, filling the airplane compartment with unpleasant fumes. The use of weaponry was notable, given that neither the razor nor the pepper spray should have been allowed into the passenger cabin in the first place.
Ballentine and Cannady were both arrested. Ballentine has been charged with second-degree assault and unlawful possession of a weapon, while Cannady has been charged with unlawful possession of tear gas. Both combatants were largely unharmed, the post says, but two others were hospitalized thanks to cuts from Ballentine’s razor and breathing difficulties from Cannady’s spray. According to the New York Daily News, seven total people required treatment for breathing difficulties.

School Reportedly Bans Superhero Lunchboxes Because Superheroes Are Too ‘Violent’ [Wonder Woman]

School Reportedly Bans Superhero Lunchboxes Because Superheroes Are Too ‘Violent’ by KATHERINE TIMPF August 28, 2015
There was no actual violence on the offending lunchbox. A little girl named Laura was reportedly sent home from school with a note informing her parents that she could no longer bring her lunchbox to school because it had a picture of Wonder Woman on it and was therefore too violent. Note: There was absolutely no actual violence displayed on the lunchbox — just a picture of Wonder Woman holding the Lasso of Truth.
But apparently, even that image is just too graphic to be on school grounds: “The dress code we have established requests that the children not bring violent images into the building in any fashion – on their clothing (including shoes and socks), backpacks and lunch boxes,” reads a letter sent home to Laura’s parents, Daniel and Sarah, according to The Mary Sue. MORE P.C. CULTURE WHAT DOES THE MODERN MALLEABILITY OF GENDER AND RACE MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION? FYI: THE TERM 'BOYFRIEND JEANS' IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE PATRIARCHY A NEW FRONT IN THE ‘WAR ON WOMEN’ ”We have defined ‘violent characters’ as those who solve problems using violence. Superheroes certainly fall into that category,” it continued.
