  • Word of the Year 2007,

    My vote's for encrapt, but I am also underwhelmed by the costradictory nature of carboncred, especially when it's so Gorey.

    Other contenders for me would be historic, as in "historic allegations" - yes they were historic but I think they meant historical. I've always liked "Hystorical" (getting all worked up about things in the past), but its derogatory connotations should NOT be applied to Ms Wallace et al, IMO.

    AND for the "rock bottom" award : "National Grooving Into The Future." It was this year wasn't it? I'm still gagging.

    Kyle - I can go out leaving your comment on rape sitting there. I take it you have completely missed all the stuff about rape being primarily violence rather than sex - that the sexual aspect is merely a tool that effectively expresses the violent subjugation of the victim.

    I think it makes little difference if the instrument of penetration is penis, fingers or anything else. An imposed cavity search by a male police officer on a female inevitably carries with it implications of violence and sexual humiliation.

    I won't carry on this kind of discussion with the heartless. It makes me sick.

    Yet in this instance they were looking for a person who wasn't there and guns that didn't exist, and still they had four women lined up on their knees in their pajamas with a gun pointed at each of them, being shouted at not to move and not to talk and the mother not allowed to comfort her crying 12 year old with a gun pointed at her head.

    IF this is true, you would still not condemn it?

    Dear Kracklite - I realise I am falling into arguing as if all this is fact, when as you keep saying and I keep reading and appreciating, it is all perception. I guess I am just trying to break through the reification of status quo perceptions. And yet, some how I feel I have fallen into an endless show of Crossfire. I think I've had enough. I'd far rather be watching one of the movies you suggested. Thank you!

    third hand by the time it gets here

    Re rape: see above.

    Not sure if disingenuous refers to the transcripts or anyone here - If it is directed here, I assure you I am absolutely serious.

    No other Lambert's behaviour has anything to do with what may or may not have happened to the girl. Listening to the girl herself (on nine to noon - not personally), and in the context of the myriad of complaints from these raid, I am inclined to believe her, knowing, of course, that it is unlikely that any of us will ever really know the truth.

    IF these event occurred, are you prepared to condemn them?

    BTW Russell "cavity search" is an actual quote from a real person (as explained above). But I put it in quotes because it is a prissy euphemism for something that, to me, amounts to rape. From Freud to Lacan, the psychologists would back me up that hysteria is closer to reality than denial - remember, the very theory of hysteria was developed out of the study of sexually abused women.
