• Meet the Female Runway Model…Who Isn’t a Female

  February 10, 2012 at 8:19am

  In reply to Welcome Black Carter.

  Did any of you even read the article? Sure, it’s a little creepy and not something I prefer but why should I care? Why should you care what this guy (yes, Waggie, I called him a guy, by the way so does he) does with his own life?

  If it Neither Breaks My Leg Nor Picks My Pocket, Then What Difference is it to Me?

  This guy does nothing more than use the clearly attractive boky God blessed him with to make a good living. What do you do for money? In the end, how is what you do different than prostituting, running the drive through at Arby’s or standing in front of a cammera whearing clothes? Or not wearing clothes?

  There are a great many hypocrites on this thread. One wonders is all the people feigning outrage over this story show the same disgust when a beautiful woman wearing jeans, a button-down shirt, cowboy boots, a cowboy hat and a belt with a huge buckle which reads “NFR” on it? Is it a woman? Can you be sure?

  Why should my indeference about a guy making lots of money as a fashion model have you accuse me of being effeminate? (biddle)

  Grow up and become comfortable with yourselves, then you won’t be threatened by a thin man wearing fitted clothes.

• Meet the Female Runway Model…Who Isn’t a Female

  “Methinks the lady doth protest too much.”

  It occurs to me, all the guys on here saying they need to throw-up are doing so expressly because they find him attractive. If he were female the same people would be commenting about how beautiful “she” is. The truth is, he is beautiful. So is Hugh Jackman. So is Heidi Klume. The fact I am only erotically attracted to Heidi out of those three is irrelevant. Empirically speaking, compared to the “beauty norm”, they are all beautiful.

  Yes Johnny, I am fully aware CJR wants a “government recognised credential” system for the press. Why, because CJR would be quite influential in WHO gets the pass. Let me see, umm… THEIR GRADUATES that’s who!

  I never said anyone can go anywhere they want. But public view is public view.

  The court has ruled repeatedly in favor of private citizens being able to photograph anything, YES ANYTHING, (which includes cops) in public view. Such is why we have FREELANCE (the very definition of the word) journalists in the United States and from our press freedoms, the world moves toward more transparent society.

  One more time Johnny, there is NO SUCH THING as a “press pass.” The website you gave a link to is just a place a person can buy an official looking card to try using so they might be able to fool some idiot guarding the backstage gate at a Britney Spears concert. This is the 2nd post from the Q and A section on the front page of the site YOU gave:

  Q: Is there such a thing as an official press pass?
  No. Any press association can issue a press pass. There is no such thing as an official or national press pass.

  Let me quote, “no such thing”, this site doesn‘t even have an ethics requirement for Pete’s sake! The only press photogs association with any credibility is the NPPA. http://www.nppa.org/ Notice it is a .org NOT a .com. Not only that, NPPA says on their website what they issue is an ID, the point being it is NOT a “press pass”, why, no such thing. And, the NPPA at least has an ethics requirement and you must be sponsored, however, they STILL don’t issue a “pass”, why, NO SUCH THING!

  I understand you like to think yourself informed but, on this, you are not. The photographer was in the right, the police were, legally, in the wrong. Such will be shown in court, one more time, I expect.

  You sir, are a fool. The website you choose to hang your “facts” on debunks your argument within the text of the front page! You understand nothing about media law. You Google searched “press pass” and found a crackerjack-box site which accounts to a

  Again Johnny, your ignorance is showing. The press do not have badges. The 1st Amendment to the Constitution is WHY the press do not have badges in the United States or anywhere the press are independent of the state. Otherwise, “press badges” would need to be issued by the state. This would constitute institutional censorship and control of the press by the state. A situation expressly forbidden by the Constitution.
  Learn the law before posting, you will appear less foolish.

  Johnny, you are quite simply, wrong. As a member of the press I can tell you there are no such thing as “Press Credentials.“ This idea people walk around wearing a hat with a paper sticking out of the band with ”PRESS” written on it is a fantasy. It never happens and never did. Most photos and videos you see are produced by freelance photojournalists just like this guy. I understand you may not like his politics, (I’m not sure what they are by the way) but the fact is, countless rulings provide precedent, a private citizen in public has the RIGHT to record anything occurring in public view or within public audio range.
  One wonders if you would be so critical of James O’Keefe? Then again, I doubt you know who he is, hypocrites are usually pretty ignorant.

• Low IQ? Socially Conservative? You Might Be Prejudiced, Study Says

  January 28, 2012 at 1:28pm

  Did no one on this thread read the article?

  I quote-

  It’s important to note that the study refers to social conservatism, not political conservatism, and Hodson pointed out the researchers weren’t implying that all liberals are smart and conservatives are dumb.

  “There are multiple examples of very bright conservatives and not-so-bright liberals, and many examples of very principled conservatives and very intolerant liberals,” he said.

  Or did you all INTEND to provide a direct link between the findings and the world of classical liberal thought known to the modern world as American conservatism?
