Ana joins Cenk for SCS. A new Muslim based movement has been revived, where peaceful Muslims exclaim that the actions of terrorists don’t represent them. Video of the #NotInMyName movement. Ana thinks it’s important to do campaigns like this to counteract the knee jerk reaction to blame all Muslims for these attacks.

UFC fighter Ronda Rousey has finally been beaten. The internet exploded with memes and ridicule for Rousey. Ana talks about not being able to stop watching the barbaric event. Lady Gaga even tweeted ridicule toward Rousey due to her rabid trash talking and not touching gloves before the fight. An elderly woman went to Christian Mingle looking for love and was scammed out of her house and nearly $200K. This story almost makes Ana cry. A handful of tech employees over 50 years old told their stories of being discriminated against by the younger tech workers.

  1. I think it’s great to see muslim people, especially leadership, speaking out against terrorism (as they do every time there is an attack). I also think that the onus is on at least leadership positions to do that. They don’t need to apologise because they didn’t do anything wrong, but moderate religion props up extremism by bringing supernatural beliefs closer to normal. If you are someone who wields that power and chooses not to use it, doesn’t that make you like a bystander to some atrocity who by there inaction aids the perpetrator? Having said that I believe muslim leadership with only a few notable exceptions has done a good job of speaking out against terrorism and promoting peace where possible.

  2. My self and my gf were watching this fight and thinking at the same time the same thing, wtf this is real, modern day gladiator shit? And then we both laughed to each other that unbelieving the fact that weed is illegal because it could cause harm to society lawl!

  3. growing up as a boxer, my coach taught us to never touch gloves. Too often fighters have taken advantage of that moment and slipped a sucker punch in upon the glove touch.
    My couch taught us to give a nod of the head as a sign of respect to the opponent but to never extend the glove leaving oneself open.

  4. Hot dogs were renamed from frankfurters after Frankfurt, Germany, bratwurst are a completely different type of German sausage. Anyone whose ever been to an Octoberfest could tell you that one. Also the name of salisbury steak (which started long before the war when Dr. Salisbury was pushing it as part of his low carb diet plan) was rather successful to replace the German name of the hamburg steak when served as an entree, not a sandwich. While the hamburger is a hamburg steak sandwich, the entree of salisbury/hamburg steak is traditionally served without a bun and drizzled with brown gravy.
