I was told a story of a technical draftsman, who specialized in farm equipment for a very well known company. He literally placed a scrotum (where's Waldo style) in all his technical drawings. The guy was so good that instead of reprimanding him or some other such punishment, they actually assigned a person to find and remove the scrotum from each drawing before sending them out.
Because in my experience, that sort of lazy ad hominem is most frequently practiced by people on the left of the political spectrum. The reflexive Fox! Fox! Fox! is a classic example.
...and yet "lazy left" isn't a frequently practiced ad hominem in your world? In other words "lazy left" == "Fox! Fox! Fox!"
Racist rants should be universally held up for shame, but the media - especially the proudly left-leaning outlets - are absolutely duplicitous on that subject.
Are you honestly trying to tell me that if a group of blacks was chanting overtly racist remarks they wouldn't be called on it by whites? but then I suppose things like "black lives matter" is probably racist chanting in your world.
"If you start allowing for instances of "acceptable racism", you're not a serious person who wants to see it removed from society."
You mean like white officers being frequently overly violent against blacks. That kind of "acceptable racism"... the pendulum swings two ways.
"I'm making an observation about yet another person's lazy deflection and ad hominem rhetoric used to avoid addressing the actual issues being raised."
i.e. taking offense.
How is anyone supposed to take you seriously when you use terms like "lazy left"
I certainly don't.
But as for your argument. it might be more socially accepted for blacks to spout racist nonsense, but I'm willing to bargain that they are subject to more racism than whites are on a daily basis. Would you agree..? Yes or No.
or are you just going to chant "lazy left" again.
Let me put on my tinfoil hat real quick and say, with all the advances we are discovering about DNA and what it does for us and to us, is it really so hard to believe that the human race could have been engineered from lower primates from a more advanced intelligence.
Not saying that's what is, but it could definitely be a stronger possibility.
If this was a scientist who was caught profiting from "the global warming" agenda, this would have been considered iron clad proof that ALL the science is false.
As far as UI goes, Apple has been taking cues from Android for years. Remember Apple was all about glossy rounded icons before Android's flat and efficient become trendy.

You mean like how it fucked up creating the internet in the first place? That kind of fucked up?

This is a hard topic which should be discussed at length!
I'm sorry.. I missed your sources on this apparently very prevalent problem.
The fact that you guys are championing censorship itself.. is a glaring example of just how far humanity has fallen.
Just like AC is used to shield weak minded people from their stupid things.

I consider pointing out the truth of you being offended precisely that... Sorry you disagree, but you are the one ranting.

Why are you taking offense?! He didn't say anything negative about Fox did he?

You mean Bell ... AT&T was one of the baby Bells.
The only one I see "wailing" here is you. People are confused and somewhat concerned, not "wailing".
Well you should be congratulated on your omniscience... I'm sure it was well earned.

Penis enlargement questions were probably getting old...
There's a difference between physical danger and social effects.
So where did you hear the other stories? Your psychic powers?

...considering that Android -- at its core -- is a form of Linux.
So is OS X and therefore so is iOS....
The first processor is codenamed "Armstrong"
