it has nothing to do with being superior...i used to use AOL, and i still use windows. around here, it is tremendously difficult to have a superiority complex whilst running windows. now, if we look at the crowd running around here, they seem to never like anything that makes things easier for the general computing public. and those grandmas that you so grandiosely refer to a.) are not the people i am addressing, and b.)with the current state of the OS, i dont htink those grannies are likely to use *nix in the first place.

i saw this like two days ago on aintitcoolnews. not a bash of/. by any means, but its odd. and the trailer DOES look like ass, if anyone even cares. but ill let it slide, cuz its cut for a european audience anyway. but i dont get this: why, if the trailer is such an embarassment for the producers, as is evidenced by its swift denunciation and retraction, did it get shown to ANYBODY? who knows. "They think its sexist"
boy i'd much rather have an ice mocha from Spider House, but i guess thats just cuz i live next door to Mojo's and i get tired of them. woohoo austin. "They think its sexist"
the mentality is one, not of outright racism as much as just hatred of difference...living on campus (hook 'em) gets away from most of that, but IN MY EXPERIENCE LIVING IN TEXAS it is one of the most hateful places to be. Granted i have only lived in California and Texas, and visited a handful of other states, but Texas just seems to have this underbelly of anger and hatred. You're actually right, i dont mean to speak for an entire city, of course, rather i speak for the collective opinions of my peer group and, obviously myself. I see people around me who insist that they have no problem with x minority group, but also will be insufferably rude to the mexican gardener mowing their lawn in 110 degree heat. There seems to be a very real undercurrent of basic redneck-dom in texas that i dont much appreciate. And like i said, austin is VERY much an exception, hell, i lived in Houston for 4 years and wanted to go absolutely Columbine for most of it. Austin IS the exception, though not fully. having lived in austin your whole life, you have not been fully exposed (or maybe you have, i have no idea) to the people i refer to. Dont know. "They think its sexist"
ya know, i hate this. i live in texas. granted i live in austin, which is BARELY texas, austin should be a suburb of LA, really. (having lived in both places i can say that) We hate texas in austin. we tend to like the IDEA of texas...ya know, we're big, we're not southern, not southwest, we're texas, dammit. but then there are the bighaired women and the fascist men to deal with. its frightening...people in the north and west have really no idea the kind of hatred and intolerance that the south is capable of...you have the stereotype, but the real thing is so much more insidious. after i moved from a predominantly black neghborhood in la to a whitebread bubble-town in texas and starting going to a high school with (literally) 8 black people in a graduating class of 1 5 0 0! there was very little of the "i hate n*ggers" mentality and oodles of the "i have nothing against 'african-amurricans'...but..." that...is hatred that i didnt understand till i came to texas. and this hatred is absolutely reflected in the texas DOJ and DOC. Gary Graham (who deserved to die) aside, texas is just popping off innocent people left and right so that the bastard son of the spiritual son of the WORST president of the 20th century can look tough on crime and tap into the hatred deep in the hearts of this goddamn country. i like texas, but i F*CKING HATE TEXANS. "They think its sexist"
I like my sarcasm and cynicism as subtle as the next guy, but how veiled is this? jeez...i thought i was going to have to cut&paste my standard "you're a redneck piker and you should be raped by a huge convict" speech, but then i noticed that it was funny. i dont know why i replied to this. "They think its sexist"
i gotta disagree...this is major news for anime nerds, and good news for nerds in general, inasmuch as this is an online petition actually succeeding against the might of monolithic disney...i think it matters just cuz i am gonna buy the dvd now. "They think its sexist"
