"The role of a prison guard really dehumanizes the people who occupy it and comes with it the ultimate aphrodisiac of power. There’s no coincidence that a lot of the abuse becomes sexualized. There has always been a fusion of sexuality and power—it’s a way of getting off; it’s a high to exercise that power. "

 

"So are you saying that [secretary of Defense] Donald Rumsfeld could use a little therapy?

[Laughs] Well, bottom line, yes. What we have found, really broadly, is the higher level of punitiveness among political conservatives is really strongly associated with experiences, generally, of harsh punishment from childhood. It’s not just going to be that they were spanked; there’s a whole family climate, and punishment is just going to be one of those indicators of that. We have a whole chapter on the religious right. In our research we also found that when we gave people the statement “the amount of physical and sexual abuse in this country is greatly exaggerated by the mass media,” conservatives were significantly more likely to agree with that."

Quoth Josh from another thread:

"Don't worry guys, I'll be heading to the hills tomorrow afternoon [May 14] for a few days."

 

Hey, bud, it's 3:20PM. Are you sure you have time for this thread--yet another political thread?

 

Perhaps you wish to get the ball rolling then come back in a few days and pore through it all. Live it all at once, so to speak.

I'm so looking forward to the weekend- 48 hours sans spray!

 

w00t w00t!

Leaving at 4:15 to pick up partners.

 

Not a political thread at all. Simply discussses the connection between those who had power held over them and the power they want to hold, and the connection between sexual satisfaction and power.

For some reason this all reminds of the Henry Rollins poem in which he masturbates in front of a mirror.

 

I think the poem is in "Art to Choke Hearts."

It may not be a political thread (to you) but you know damns well Fairweather and j_b will see the name "Rumsfeld" and turn it into one.

 

He said, she said, they said, we said, you said. But but but but but.....

[JoshK]

I think we should settle this all right now by realizing the fact that Rumsfeld is simply a confused homosexual, more interested in S&M and midget scat porn then anything else.

there goes the 'moderate' thought police. you don't have to enter or read political threads, nobody is forcing you. in turn, nobody has to do as you please either. and leave me out of this, i don't need your editorializing especially if i am not involved.

[klenke]

j_b, I'm sending you one free ticket to a humor seminar. In the seminar, they teach a segment about "poking fun." Good stuff. I graduated from there. I got high marks for the "sarcasm made easy" segment.

[marylou]

Klenster, sometimes your sarcasm falls a little flat.

 

Happens to the best of us in this strange environment known as the Internet. I know where j_b comes from on this, even in jest, it gets pret-ty old having people editorializing about your perspective....

[cracked]

[klenke]

That's alright Marylou, cuz your personality is a lot like j_b's.

 

You don't see me complaining when people editorialize about my apparent views on certain political subjects or poke fun at me. To dish it I've got to be able to accept it. What goes around comes around and you and j_b know full well you've done it to me too.

 

How many times have you (or Icegirl) called me a "republican" at pub club or online or whereever? For the love of god, I am not a registered republican. I don't vote republican. I vote how I damn well choose.

 

Cracked: thanks.

[JoshK]

Klenke is all good. Let's all direct this anger towards Rumself, not each other.

[j_b]

no, no, you need to go back to humor school. it seems that you retained the 'poking' part but totally forgot about the 'fun' aspect of it.

 

for the record, i have never commented about you (or anyone else) except in a reply to a specific post. if you post something, i believe it is fair game for anyone to comment on it; however, don't drag people in out of the blue just because you want to make point for whatever purpose.

But this isn't supposed to be a political thread. And, what's up, are your friends running late? It's a half-hour past 4:15PM. Admit it man, you're addicted to this website. You're gonna blow another whole weekend perched on your computer seat.

[cracked]

j_b, you're as boring and predictable as a brick.

Try this:

[klenke]

Translation:

j_b said, "I have no sense of humor. I never have. Won't someone love me? "

 

j_b, you won't find me cutting you any slack because you got your panties all in a bunch for being referred to out of the blue on a thread you hadn't even posted in. Notice I also used Fairweather in my sarcasm. You and he simply are tops on my list in terms of number of posts of a political nature. You and Fairweather seem to be bastions of opposite ends of the political spectrum. My using you as an example in no way negates your viewpoints. I suppose I could have used Peter Puget or JayB in lieu of Fairweather but Fairweather it was. I don't dislike you j_b and I actually concur with a lot of the things you said over the years, but I know I've exuded waaaaay more humor than you on this board. Very seldom (but I have seen you do so) have you posted anything on this board that wasn't of a political nature. Don't you have any other notes to play?

[j_b]

klenke,

 

you don't know me except for my personna on this board. so don't generalize about what you don't really know. there is certainly a lot of stuff around here that isn't as funny to me as it appears to be to some people. i don't bash them for it unless i find it abusive to others, and even then more often than not, i ignore the bulk of it. this isn't to say that, at times, i don't laugh at some of the going on on this board; however, i suspect you would not find some of my funny stuff very funny either (just rent 'celebration' by winterberg, it's a riot). i do post a lot about 'politics' because i feel that we are living critical times that will affect us and our children deeply for decades to come. just so you know, i don't go out of my way to talk politics to individuals outside my community. i'd much rather go climbing.

Group hug?

 

anyone?

 

[cracked]

cc.com is proof that people are not intrinsically peaceful. I hate everybody.

the weekend's here, cracked. go outside and play.

 

[klenke]

A new device is just out on the market for cracked. Have any of you seen it?

 

It's called the Remote Pagetop Applicator. Now, from the middle of nowhere, this little gadget beams a signal via satellite bounce to a local server that checks for threads with 25 posts. If such a post is located, the applicator sends a signal to log in cracked and have the applied in cracked's name.

 

Cost: $200 but you get a $50 rebate if you have more than 3,000 posts. Your rebate is $100 if 1/10th of those posts were for pagetop purposes. The applicator comes with a free one year membership to the magazine Pagetop Times.

 

 

Now, group hug

[cracked]

I'm going to go play tomorrow. Probably in the rain, but WTF.

 

Your hug graemlin is lame, klenke. Here's a better one:
