About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Something to think about in january when you see a car stuck in the ditch, rear bumper sticking out of the snow plastered with Green Party stickers.
yes, I check. yes, it matters.
Those three cell brained protozoa are probably the same feminist fools that gave Slick Willy Clinton a get out of Rape and Assault Charges for diddling Monica in the Oval Office with one his cigars.
Because only they are smart enough to decide.
…Far from being a kiss between a loving couple, we learn that George and Greta were perfect strangers. We learn that George was drunk, and that Greta had no idea of his presence, until she was in his arms, with his lips on hers… ”
If this is true, then it absolutely was sexual assault, end of story.
LAS at October 11, 2012 12:07 PM
Well son (or whatever)...it's a never-ya-mind.
It's not like Lara Logan in Tahir Square.....
As Whoopie would say....it's not rape-rape....
Re: "If this is true, then it absolutely was sexual assault, end of story."
Where did you serve in WW II?
Don't worry LAS. nobody is going to randomly select you to kiss you.
Enjoy your beta wheat grass Prius driving pansy men.
I see none of you can actually make a relevant point. I am unbeaten, yet again. (Walks into sunset).
(walks into sunset alone)
There, fixed that for you
LAS:
The critical part of your comment is
"if this is true".
Given that every person in the picture is smiling, I seriously doubt that it is true. That you are gullible enough to believe the rant of a militant says something about you.
If this is true, then it absolutely was sexual assault, end of story.
~LAS
During the same era, if you went to a county fair or exhibition, you would find something called a 'Kissing Booth' where pretty girls would be selling kisses for a quarter.
No doubt LAS would absolutely conflate that with prostitution.
LAS
Two things missing.
There was no sex.
There was no assault.
If the taliban come, will you volunteer as a human shield?
If the Taliban come I guess you would find LAS shuffling off into the sunset wearing a black tent...
Lass
better to be thought of a fool..............
revissionism is worshipped only by fools
Silly me. I thought she was lifting her foot in the air, but am now told she was putting her foot down.
Her own story and willingness to meet George subsequently don't support the revisionist assault charge.
If you walk up to somebody and kiss them like that, it's at least assault, your macho-man BS notwithstanding.
Oz: I wouldn't quite call it prostitution but I'm basically pro-prostitution so it's all good.
I'm basically pro-prostitution so it's all good.
~LAS
No doubt, ...but what isn't good is your inability to understand that kissing was no big thang in that era.
Grabbing people and kissing them spontaneously was a social convention of the time, there are many movies from the era where it is portrayed.('Gone with the Wind' comes to mind)
Judging the people of another era with the morals and values of our own is not conducive to understanding the history of the times.
If you, LAS, got into a Time Machine and arrived there in NYC, pointed, and called it sexual assault, they'd put you in Bellevue Psychiatric Facility.
Let's see exuberant George has just survived a conflict in which ~58 million lives were expended.
He's a little tipsy and delighted to be alive, and then shares that joy with a fetching gal at hand.
The concept of 'stealing a kiss' isn't rape.
Geez, even Frank Sinatra put it to song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oslTxS17QAs
Frank Sinatra - If I steal a kiss
Songwriters: BROWN, NACIO HERB/HEYMAN, EDWARD
If I steal a kiss, dear, I'll surely return it someday.
If I steal your dreams, dear, I'll bring them back some way.
If I steal your moonlight, I'll bring it back more divine,
But if I steal your heart, dear, I'll keep it close to mine.
If I steal your moonlight, I'll bring it back more divine,
And if I steal your heart, dear, I'll keep it close to mine,
I'll keep it close to mine.
Get a grip, this is femiNazi analysis run amok....

LAS said: "If you walk up to somebody and kiss them like that, it's at least assault..."
...and there are no circumstances under which it can be anything else -but- assault, right LAS? Right? No?
This is the kind of thing feminists are famous for, the removal of context regarding an action. Its why we mock them, and why I'm mocking you now.
You can walk back into the sunset again, we're done with you now.
Where's the outcry for Paula Jones and dozens other Clinton victims?
WalterF, they don't count, we must view them as martyrs for The Cause. Same with Laura Whatsit, the reporter what got nearly killed in Egypt. Except she's had the bad form to speak up, so she's not a martyr anymore she's just under the bus.
I suppose some people don't know that feeling of euphoria which sometimes moves people to hug strangers (and yes, perhaps even kiss them) in an excess of exuberance and joy.
When I found out I didn't have a terminal disease, I hugged the doctor (who happened to be female.) Now I discover that I committed assault. Heaven help me if she had been a feminist.
Will there ever come a time when we can go back to being humans instead of "ists".
From an interview with Greta Friedman - hardly an assault.
PT
Patricia Redmond:
Do you think George Mendonsa went around kissing all the ladies?
Greta Friedman:
No, but other sailors did! They were happy, they didn't have to go back to war. They'd had enough! We established that many ladies were kissed by sailors that day... in celebration. These other ladies, and sailors may all have been in Time's Square on V-J Day, and kissed...but the photo that Albert Eisenstaedt took was of Greta Friedman and George Mendonsa. Looked again at the LIFE magazine with the photos of the various men who claimed to be the sailor...maybe all these people were at Times Square...kissing pretty ladies?
Greta Friedman:
Oh sure...all throughout the day and the evening, people were there. It was like New Year's Eve only better!
"…it absolutely was sexual assault, end of story." -- LAS
Here's what the woman says:
She and the man who kissed her have reunited several times in the last six decades, most recently last August in Times Square.
It was a tongue survey.
When a lady gets to 80+ years old she'll long fo those quick "surveys".
Lighten up.
I understood she said yes and it was consenual, end of the war euphoria and all. What happens to the narrative now?
If she wasn't enjoying it she would have slapped him. Which was an appropriate response at the time.
Judging the people of another era with the morals and values of our own is not conducive to understanding the history of the times.
Cultural relativism: not just for lefties!
EBD: at least you looked for evidence. I say the guy is lucky; she would have every right to have pressed some charges. 'Exuberance' and 'context' do not make the unright right.
LAS - perhaps you should have looked for evidence also instead of spouting your PC knee-jerk nonsense. Of course context matters. They were in a World War! Death and destruction loomed. They didn't have time for your type of nonsense. They were too busy living.

Capt., the Supreme Court of Canada rule some years ago that a kiss qualified as a crime of sexual assault.
(As a result, Prince Charming hasn't been seen here since that ruling, and I'm not coming back either!)
No, LAS, actually, I didn't look for evidence, because I didn't have to: I just clicked on, and read, the post the Captain linked to, and then clicked on a couple of links therein. Didn't take more than a few seconds. If you had just done the same before commenting four times, you wouldn't be crediting me with looking for evidence.
So...would you like to maybe grace us with your facile pronouncements on movies that you've never seen, or books that you've never read? Because that's basically all you ever do here.
Well then, does LAS stand for "Libertarians are Stuck-up"?
Next time we're all exuberant we'll be sure not to kiss you...
So when "Libertarians" are granted their freedom by military personnel; LAS will scurry away from Times Square because Libertarians are afraid kissing infringes their 'LIBERTY'.
Your stated position, given the facts surrounding the photograph, are obtuse and ridiculous...
thus LAS is against "freedom of expression" that the WWII was over.
The Supreme Court of Canada can put us all in jail, I'm sticking with Frank Sinatra.

1st rule of SDA...the links are important...
LAS said: "'Exuberance' and 'context' do not make the unright right."
They do actually. Context is the only difference between killing in self defense and murder. Context (and consent!) is the difference between assault and fun at a party.
When you refuse to view actions in their proper context, you are an imbecile. Or a Leftist.
LAS also said: "Cultural relativism: not just for lefties!"
Accepting the fact that different cultures exist and change over time is not a Lefty thing. Viewing the actions of history in their proper context and with their proper cultural meaning is not a Lefty thing either.
The Lefty thing is stripping away culture and context, then using the resulting straw-man to beat up their political enemies as you are doing.
Fairly transparent and lame, you ask me.
syncro, not necessary when you know you're the smartest. /
If someone grabbed my wife or daughter, the way it was described, I would probably pick a fight with him.....and get beat up in the process. Drunk war hero or not. Just sayin.
You can bet your boots that when, not if, the next big one happens the PC crap will go by the way real quick.
The link mentions Frankfurt Feminists. Graduates from the Frankfurt School and suckled by their ideological mother Alexandra Kollontai no doubt.
"have list of men and women who are gay or lesbian by give them GAy marrigae in top of thier paper to have record of those people", you mean like the Star of David badge sewn on the front of the clothing?
We're well aware that Muslim brothers rape their sisters and that it is a practice for Muslim mothers to masterbate their baby sons in their cribs all the time in Islamic countries, ok.
I think some of you people are confusing the general case against kissing/touching people without their consent and this specific case after the end of WWII.
No, it's not free expression to kiss and touch strangers. I'll assume you are exaggerating for arguments sake. I don't imagine you guys would be too happy if some ugly, butch female soldier or gay serviceman gave you a big, sloppy smoocheroo to express their exuberance.
ok said: "but culture of drinking and not care and touch men and women need years to get fixed here"
And that my friends is why the Lefties love the jihadis. Neither of them can hold a rational argument, and both of them want the same thing: subservience.
Tomorrow is Hot Girls and Bacon Day at the Soapbox ok/new/dork. Please drop by so I can delete your Islamist parrot droppings with extreme prejudice, you utter prat. Tell your freakazoid friends, I'll have a giggle deleting their comments too.
LAS is acting the jackass for attention. Someday some one will come for you Las. I hope you like Muslim man rape humiliation, in its true setting. t will be Betas like you that brought it.
So true WalterF...the only folks who won't learn anything are those who know everything...
Revnant Dream said: "LAS is acting the jackass for attention."
Must respectfully disagree Rev. He's not acting. He just is.
And yeah, the eventual Reality(TM) mugging is going to be a stone beeotch.
"1st rule of SDA...the links are important..."
Posted by: syncrodox at October 11, 2012 3:24 PM
Ah cr@p! I thought the 1st rule of SDA was we never talk about SDA. Oh well, back to square one.
new, we're not worthy of you. Go back to Iran.
When did syncro and phantom get so creepy?
Did anyone explain the 3/4 rule to you. A guy seeking a kiss should only lean in about 3/4 of the way, if the girl (or guy) doesn't lean in the remaining distance then you and your lips should back the F off. Pretty basic stuff, really. Here's another hint...true alpha males are gentlemen.
Mamba... unwritten rules so I could have pooched the order... LC...what did I say/do that was creepy?
Just went back through the thread. I get it LC. I dispute the creepy and agree real alp[ha males don't impose themselves on females. That said, revisionist rape charges are ridiculous...
Objection duly noted. When I was reading this post and the general tone of the commentors I could not help but think of Lara Logan's assault in Cairo's Arab Spring Celebration. Yes, I realize it is not the same but that same ugly (but not-insane) undertone of callousness and woman-hating/woman-fearing is present.
I watched Laura Logan's entire speech and found some comments posted at SDA to be, at the minimum. crude.
That's why I've followed SDA all these years, folks are free to make asses of themselves as I am sure I have done from time to time.
I ain't a creep though.
