COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Border Defense and Pierced Nipples

TSA Agents Forced Woman To Remove Nipple Rings, Pulled Pants Off Disabled Man

Reporting
Pam Zekman CBS-2

When travelers go to the airport, they know what kind of security to expect: luggage searches, metal detectors and shoe inspections.

It's all part of our post 9-11 reality enforced by the Transportation Security Adminstration. But as CBS 2 Investigator Pam Zekman reports, thousands of travelers have complained that some of these screenings can become abusive and even x-rated.

For arguing with a TSA agent, Robin Kassner wound up being slammed to the floor. She's filed a lawsuit.

"I kept begging them over and over again get off of me ... and they wouldn't stop," Kassner said.

And it wasn't enough for another woman to show TSA agents nipple rings that set off a metal detector. The agents forced her to take them out.

Mandi Hamlin said, "I had to get pliers and pull it apart."

  2. McCain referred to the "Iraq-Pakistan border" in a "Good Morning America" interview; since there is no such border, he must have meant Afghanistan-Pakistan. He has twice referred to Czechoslovakia, a country that ceased to exist in 1993; mixed up Sunnis and Shiites; and identified Vladimir Putin as president of Germany.

    Aides to the Arizona senator dismiss the missteps as meaningless, noting that their man is far more accessible to journalists than Obama. "When you engage with reporters from 8:30 a.m. till 8 at night, you're bound to make a gaffe," says McCain communications director Jill Hazelbaker. "People are yearning for the kind of president who takes tough questions, and that's who John McCain is."

    ...Last week, says a Project for Excellence in Journalism study of print and electronic coverage, Obama was a significant or dominant factor in 83 percent of election stories, and McCain in 52 percent. The McCain camp yesterday sent out a mocking video compilation of pundits praising the Illinois Democrat, saying: "The media is in love with Barack Obama. If it wasn't so serious, it would be funny."


    But there is a counter-narrative, which has taken root on the left, that McCain is the one being treated with journalistic kid gloves. In this view, Obama's every utterance is scrutinized, while McCain, who enjoyed warm relations with reporters during his 2000 White House campaign, pays little price for blunders.

    Dan Abrams, the host of MSNBC's "Verdict," told viewers Monday that "gaffe after gaffe after gaffe come from John McCain, and they are forgotten. . . . There is no way Barack Obama would be able to get away with something like this."

    Politico catalogued the errors on its Web site yesterday, saying: "McCain's mistakes raise a serious, if uncomfortable question: Are the gaffes the result of his age? And what could that mean in the Oval Office?"

    The question is fair, says veteran analyst Charlie Cook of National Journal. "People wonder if McCain is kind of like a pitcher seven or eight years past his prime and misses a few here and there," he says. "When you're about to turn 72, people are going to be watching to see if you're slipping."

    "McCain has been a media darling forever, and now he's making the claim that he's not getting enough media coverage? It's comical," says Mitchell Bard, a writer and filmmaker who blogs at the Huffington Post.

    "If Obama had said the things McCain has said, the media would be all over that as an example of his inexperience: 'He doesn't even know that Iraq and Pakistan don't share a border. He doesn't even know that Czechoslavakia hasn't been a country for 15 years.' When John McCain says it, it's 'Oh, that's just John McCain.' The media have decided that McCain is a knowledgeable foreign policy expert, and anything that doesn't fit into that paradigm is just ignored."

  3. tuff nipples retard......

    Get real you fucktard...

    You live in this world when people will murder a pregnant woman and cut out the fetus and claim it as their own..

    You live in a world where CJS exists... (Crazy Jihad Syndrome)

    2 bulldozers in Jerusalem in a month...
    Bali
    New York
    London
    Madrid
    New York
    Shopping Malls, Pizza Shops, Buses, Cars, Hospitals, Grey Hound Bus Throat Slittings, HiJackings, IED's, Fake PREGNANT Islamic terrorists with bombs...

    If the Arabs/islamic Jihadists learned that the TSA would not force you to remove your nipple rings they would stuff bombs INSIDE the woman to bomb something...

    If your dumb enough to put an extra HOLE in your nipple and DUMB enough to WEAR said jewelry and if your DUMB enough to put something THRU your NIPPLES that cannot be removed without TOOLS then your a fucktard and should be BILLED by the TSA for time wasted and banned for life from PUBLIC travel.

  20. Bob's been workin' hard, but I appreciate the breast and wouldn't exile the gal just for a little jewelry.

    Tattoos are a big mistake. They look like shit when a gal gets older.

    My wife has never worn jewelry of any kind. Almost Amish, in a way.

  23. 2020.04.06酒店工作在去酒店之前,一定要給自己定一個目標及方向,你必需了解自己為何來酒店上班,目的何在? 酒店打工出發點是什麼?
    給自己酒店PT一個目標,例如:酒店上班債務還清了就離開、存到了多少錢就走人、或者是打算做多久。
    如果漫無目的的一直在八大行業做下去,久而久之,就會習慣這樣高所得的工作,然後就會沉迷於其中,而很難脫離這樣的環境。人對金錢的胃口只會愈來愈大!所以一定要給自己一個明確的目標。還有…賺到的錢一定要存下來,存下來的才是真正賺到的。

  24. 2020.05.09全國八大行業酒店工作本月9日停業滿1個月,小姐酒店S、經紀、業者無不「酒店上班苦哈哈」,八大行業有小姐甚至做起外送員,不過,行政院長蘇貞昌本月4日宣布擴大紓困,無保酒店PT工作者可領1萬元,且可當天申請,有酒店小姐衝去公所申請,但馬上被「打槍」。酒店打工小姐小荳說,日前看新聞說政府下令紓困加碼,跑去公所申請,但卻被刁難,須附上很多證明,例如提供戶口名簿、調查名下有無財產、家人有無財產、以往有無領過政府補助的失業救助金等措施,若有,就不符合資格。事後才知是今天開放申請,但公所人員給人的感覺就「霧煞煞」,不清楚申請資格,雖然她最後還是資格不符,空歡喜一場,但還是希望政府快提供更明確申請規定,讓受疫情影響的勞工安心。小荳說,自己從南部上台北工作,想賺高薪照顧父母,才到酒店上班,如今停業,目前偶爾接接飯局加減賺,但好像「臨時工」,收入很不穩定。
    據了解,小姐屬經紀公司管理,但經紀公司並無真正公司行號,只是小姐領薪水的仲介單位,都是空殼,並非政府認可的公司;小姐及酒店經紀因此沒有工作證明,領薪方式也是現金,並無薪資條當作證明文件,申請有難度。酒店經紀人梁曉尊/梁小尊說,旗下小姐目前靠零星的飯局賺取台費,好一點的本身兼職美甲師,也有小姐白天當外送員加減賺,至少付得出房租、三餐有著落。酒店目前雖未開,小姐仍可透過飯局賺錢,業者也抓緊主導權,不讓獲利方式改變,不過再停業下去,規模小的酒店,不堪每月高房租及人事成本,恐遭併吞。

  25. 2020.05.20台北市酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容酒店停業1個多月,雖然我在酒店上班的日子復工有望,但仍有諸多限制,業者、經紀、小姐少爺們哀鴻遍野,《蘋果酒店打工》日前走訪酒店採訪,業者及幹部小咪一坐下來就不停抱怨,說疫情已經放緩,政府為何還不全面開放,「酒店小姐一定有S?都快無法生活了,難道要我們去死,政府才會聽到我們的聲音?」 八大行業是哪八種行業呢?業者表示,光是繳交房租就要近百萬元,開業又擔心小姐已經跳槽不上班,職場須知 【酒店PT 】或經紀人把小姐轉到別家店,酒客也跟著小姐走,只要政府拖一天,我們就損失好幾百萬元。酒店小姐泡泡(28歲)表示,家裡經濟不好才會出來做小姐,每月要繳的房貸、卡債、生活費要近10萬元,雖然當小姐喝酒喝到吐膽汁,但每周能賺4萬多元,現真的快活不下去,她說不需要政府補助,只希望讓酒店復業。
    酒店少爺小陳無奈地說,會從事八大行業的人都有苦衷,雖外表光鮮亮麗,但其實很辛苦,酒店沒停業前,他每月能賺6萬元,停業後完全沒收入。少爺阿豪則因生意失敗積欠債務,找有勞健保的工作會被強制扣款,當少爺月入4、5萬元可維持正常生活,希望盡快復工,讓生活回歸正軌。
