“...something about cold climates which develop gorgeous skin.”
Maybe it is lack of intense sunshine...
How about Cletus the Dismembered Fetus to remind everyone WHY there are a dwindling number of abortionariums.
If Jeff Dunham needs a new character, it has potential.
Reminds me of when my husband was cleaning fish and would get his fingers inside the lower jaw and make the fish "talk" for the kids. "HI! My name is Charlie, and I'll be your dinner tonight."
Kids thought it was hilarious, but then they were 8 and 10 at the time.
I think it is more a combination of the clean air and Godly lifestyles.
I think your link is maybe a little off, or they killed the original page?
Seemed like it (once?) contained some interesting stuff.
Hmmm....in the original Latin it’s a masculine word.
gajin had trouble with the link.
I will check it out. Here is another shot at it:
The Motivations of Political Leftists.

Here is a brilliant essay by Daniel Greenfield that comes to the same conclusion:
The Progressive Missionaries of Unhappiness

They enjoy it because they are perverts. But the process is called "acclimatization" or "normalization." It's the process by which atrocity is made familiar, thus lessening the revulsion rejection of the subject and making it easier to accept psychologically.
Hollywood uses it all the time. For an excellent example, read - do not watch - what that utter bastard Brad Pitt enacts in current movie "Fury," where the name of playing an American soldier in WWII, he uses his fame and popularity to teach that American soldiers are psychotic, cowardly, murdering monsters from hell who are literally worse than Nazis.
Every trick in the book is used to get you to emotionally accept this message as "fact" or "truth" - necessity, reality, manhood, your own resistance to it played out by a character designed to embody the audience, etc.
It's the blackest evil, especially since its being done now to specifically normalize Islamic atrocities, and portray our own vets as violent, deranged psychotics.
That's why Leftists are extremely sensitive to it being used against their own. That's why they scream and attack pro-life protestors who show pictures of aborted fetuses. Because they know damn well the powerful effect those pictures have in destroying the normalization narrative they've set up for abortion.
To call this sophomoric would be to insult sophomores. Eunice the Puppet Uterus on a lonely quest across the "abortion desert" to find a human abattoir? There are spiders crawling around in the brain of whomever came up with that one.
Yes there are.
See also “desensitization” and “defining deviancy down.”
Yep.
Just wait until she meets up with Sandy the Scalpel.
Yeah, because the idea that Hollywood uses long established psychological techniques to manipulate their audiences is simply absurd.
LOL
