Sue Austin: Deep sea diving ... in a wheelchair

Sue Austin: Deep sea diving ... in a wheelchair

KnivesOut says...

I think her point wasn't to just go scuba-diving. Sure she could have just paddled around in the water if she wanted a nice swim.

It was to deconstruct/reconstruct the preconceived icon that is "The Wheel Chair" into something that would be as empowering and symbolic to everyone else as it is to the artist.

"Transcendent" isn't the right word, but it's the first word that comes to mind.

Strange? problematic? Wasn't Jacques Cousteau using stuff like this: http://www.gizmag.com/go/7148/ back in the 1970s? Her arms work so she could use something like this quite effectively right?

You know what happens when you break the stick off a bottle-rocket and light it?

Yeah I bet that happens sometimes here too. That's why tank cannon barrels are rifled if they aren't firing fin-stabilized munitions. I'm sure this video is selectively edited to give the impression of accuracy.

SiftDebate: What are the societal benefits to having guns? (Controversy Talk Post)

KnivesOut says...

I guess there's a benefit in teaching someone to use a tool that is capable of killing you. The respect and discipline involved is something of a life lesson, and can be extended to any number of potentially deadly things that we interact with more or less often.

When I was about 12, my dad and I went to a gun range in Florida for the first time, and he put his 1911 .45 in my hands, and showed me how to hold it, how to check if it was loaded, how to load it, and how to shoot it. He showed me how to respect the thing for the destructive life-taker that it is.

"Don't point a gun at anything you don't want to destroy" he said over and over again. I was terrified. I still enjoy shooting guns, even though I don't own any, and don't think I'll ever want one, but I can see the allure.

When you infuse an object with that level of emotional mass... it's like you can feel it in the room with you. The thing becomes more than a tool, it's a little gravity well of destructive power.

That's how I see them anyway. The people who are nonchalant about them scare me though. Stupid kids pointing guns at themselves in facebook cover photos. These people are the reason we can't have nice things.

Piers Morgan - Alex Jones Goes 'Full Retard' Part 1

KnivesOut says...

Why is anyone listening to Alex Jones talk about anything, let alone put him on CNN?

This guy seriously believes that all the recent rampages are somehow staged "False Flag" attacks perpetrated by the Anti-Gun Establishment. Aurora, Gabby Giffords, Newtown. He'd have you believe that the government is programming disaffected teens to trigger into psychotic murderers like the Manchurian Candidate.

Seriously, what the fuck? Put him back on the street-corner with his card-board box and "The End is Nigh" sandwich board.
