Hmmm Sorcery maybe

It certainly won't be flattery.

Better read a bit further to Canto XXVII before you get too complacent

Circle 8 Bolgia 9: Sowers of Discord
Inferno, Canto XXVII is full of sinners which are guilty of sowers of discord, or one who is driven to act on other's vulnerabilities and is driven solely on their own self-interests. These sinners are believed to have ripped apart the community in which they belong. Within this section, there are members guilty of Sowers of Religious Discord, Sowers of Political Discord, and Sower of Discord Between Kinsmen.

if i'm in the same circle as sorcerors i think i'll be in good - or at least entertaining - company.

you'll doubtless be in that part of paradise where bores and whingers reside.

I'd have a lot more respect for Urban's FAQs if they were written like this.

The way this Bolgia is described is in relation to a battlefield...The devil harasses the members of this hell by stabbing them as they come near him, which splits them in half. Each member is mutilated based on the intensity of their sin. This circle is consistant with Dante's idea that ripping apart a community is worse than ripping apart faith.

andysays this thread was quite nicely on topick until you started pissing about with dante. i look forward to seeing you in the 8th circle.

Looks like the two of us will be hunkered down together in the 9th bolgia then, along with Muhammed, Pier Dia Medicina and Bertand De Born.

I wonder if either Bahar Mustapha or Andy Keane will put in an appearance.

 

[Orang Utan]

you say you didn't mean it as a nationality now. but you could have said that earlier, if that's what you actually meant, and saved everyone a great deal of trouble. but as you didn't i don't think you're being absolutely honest here

Oh fuck off, you're the dishonest one here. Your motives are nothing but dishonourable.

Feminist protesters storm red carpet at London premiere of Suffragette

Apparently Sisters Uncut have been protesting at the 'Suffragette' Premiere and crazily voting it down on IMDB as racist, way to go, undermine a film that supports your cause, we seem to be back to the 80's.

Guardian has put it on its front page.

 

[Orang Utan]

perhaps they have a point.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Women shouldn't protest at the premiere of a film about suffragettes, that would be inappropriate.

Wait a moment

Crazily protesting cuts to domestic violence services.

Birds, eh?

 

[Citizen66]

Ruining a film that supports them!

 

[the button]

I understand that some of the gays didn't appreciate the film Stonewall's portrayal of the riot as being initiated by straight-acting white guys rather than black drag queens either.

There's no pleasing some people.

V for Vendetta didn't fill its quota of spotty social inadequates from 4chan. If that's what it was about.

Funny I was just about to start a thread for Sisters Uncut...THEY DESERVE THEIR OWN THREAD!

They are not undermining their own cause...think deeply now...a culture that seemingly celebrates the feminist movement and glorifies a film about the Suffragettes with RED CARPET AND ALL is a perfect platform to highlight inconsistencies and hypocrisy.... ffs!

Asked why the protesters chose to target a film seemingly supportive of their feminist stance, Latifa said: “This film is talking about women’s liberation in a very celebratory sense and there’s this argument that we’re in a post-feminist era so that means that our messages more than ever need to heard because there is this delusional element to it all.”

 

[Citizen66]

Although giving them their own thread will just end up being about the Clapton Ultras again.

that was actually post hoc appropriated by the neckbeard fraternity after the hollywood translation of the comic ripped the heart out of the story and presented it as a liberal wet dream about an authoritarian regime they would totally sleepwalk into. US anarcho outfit Crimethinc tabled the openings to highlight this. Original author wrote that it was a horrible US liberal rework of his tale. I met the original author in the shop buying beer and he said the film was bollocks as well.
Read the comic.

Given that red carpet/premiere events mostly seem to concentrate on leading female looks and who made their dress, and that the film is about the Sufragettes, I'd say it was the ideal platform to protest about gender inequality, DV, etc.

Not seen the film, but I suspect it will rather glamourise some of women's lib for the Hollywood market tbh.

As for going back to the 80's, yes we are. But not for that reason you cock.

 

[Wilf]

Stop it! Stop protesting! If you don't let Helena Bonham Carter present your struggle, how the hell can you get your message across??

H! H! HBC!

If it wasn't for Meryl Streep, women would have very little idea about the pay gap.
