Haven't I seen this exact same comment on Slashdot before?
The Democrats have never focused so single-mindedly on the destruction of a president. Oh now you have got to be kidding. Bu$hitler, 2001-2009? Did we forget so soon?
You're just telling yourself that the Dems are just as bad as a defense mechanism. You know, it really looks bad when this is used, over and over. Whenever an (R) does something bad, that means (R)s are uniquely and reprehensibly evil. Whenever a (D) does something bad, that means both parties are the same and there's no difference between the two.
So, which is it? Uniquely evil or the same? Because it damn sure can't be both - unless there's some sort of double standard at work.
You know, I never knew that having good parents was racist, but recently I have been informed that this is so. Why? Because black kids don't have interested parents and therefore do badly on tests. Proof positive of racism, right there. How does one even begin to argue with such a viewpoint?
Is that actually true, or is it just what you want to believe? "Gitmo" is for terrorists captured on the battlefield, although a certain sort of person will not be dissuaded from believing otherwise.
They will deport him to another country where he will be extradited. Easy-peasy.
I must say, I'm rather disappointed by the lack of civil disobedience in these sorts of cases recently. The perps flee jurisdictions to save their own skins, rather than show how corrupt the system is by being unjustly imprisoned. What would Dr. King say? Nelson Mandela didn't flee to Angola to escape an unfair judicial system. A fleeing perp is just another lousy criminal, a martyr is a hero forever.
See? That's exactly the sort of limited-mind thinking that gives us the same recycled crap, again and again. Break out of the box. Tell a new story. Don't listen to those who say there are only so many stories, because that is a filthy lie.
The whole thing made a huge splash in the feminist blogosphere when it happened. Didn't you get the memo?
[Trigger warning for rape used in a "humorous" capacity.] The problem is, I just don't find rape funny. Because rape survivors exist among us, and after being victimized by rapists, they are revictimized by a society that treats even real rape like a joke, forced to live in a culture that actually has a lot of rape jokes, including those about rape victims being actively denied justice for no other reason than because people don't take rape seriously. I don't find rape funny because rape victims are often doubted, mocked, and insulted openly.
[Trigger warning for discussion of sexual assault in games and comedy and sexual slavery] Mere sexist jokes have been documented to âoefavour the mental mechanisms which urge to violence and battering against womenâ, in other words, make people more accepting of such behaviour. The release of endorphins gets linked to the sexist ideal, and suddenly it seems a good idea.
If the good people are on one side of the argument, and you're on the other side, isn't that a clue that YOU'RE WRONG? The appropriate response is a self-criticism, an essay on exactly what you did wrong and how you'll never do it again, plus paying a fine proportional to your income to a feminist non-profit rape survivors group.
How does anyone justify going to a Penny Arcade convention? Why hasn't everyone joined the boycott? What kind of people go there? For the three people in the world who don't know, instead of apologizing to fans offended by their rape joke, Penny Arcade creators Mike Krahulik (left) and Jerry Holkins mocked the outrage with a Dickwolves T-shirt. The Dickwolves incident has transformed Penny Arcade from a welcoming, inclusive public commons to a place with a constituency â" however small â" that is hostile to outsiders. Such a con should, theoretically, endeavor to include rape survivors, as well as other marginalized groups, from non-white gamers to disabled gamers to genderqueer gamers.
You know, you're not doing your side any favors by invoking the "I can criticize you, but you can't criticize me for any reason" argument. Bush (shouldn't you be spelling that Bu$hitler?) didn't have people demanding to see his birth certificate because there was no doubt as to his citizenship. Obama claimed to be a foreign student at one point. But oh well, opposition to your side is racist. Just more of the "free speech for me, but not for thee" crap that liberals are so famous for.
I think it was more "if you have any sort of talent, make something new instead of riding the coattails of others" sentiment. But then, this attitude is horribly out of fashion, so much so that anyone espousing it is opened to ridicule.
*sigh* no...Karma determines what happens to you in the next life. It has zippo to do with this life. In this life you accumulate karma (or don't, that's why priests sit on mountaintops and do nothing, to avoid karma) and it determines what you become after your death.
In other words, you spoke up regarding what you constantly think about. And yet...deny it, and say it's obvious if you were only as smart as me. Lesser beings deserve to be mocked. Yup, wikipedia deleter all the way.
OK, we all realize that this is a good opportunity to express our true feelings towards the Department of Justice. However, how many of us are sublimating unacceptable feelings? The DoJ is led by Eric Holder, a black man, who was appointed by Barack Obama, another black man. People who are not racists do not have to explain why they are not racists. Whenever I see a long and exhausting Slashdot post claiming they oppose the DoJ but are not racist, I think: racist. So, let's just all consider our opinions twice before we click that "Post" or "Submit" button. Thank you.
So, you're a deleter, then. Wikipedia groans under the weight of pricks like you. Who else would have even made the connection to Wikipedia? We weren't talking about it...you just...brought it up apropos of nothing, for some strange reason known only to yourself.
You know, the whole 'ponytail and beard' thing has become a code of its own these days. Add big black nerd glasses with no lenses for that extra authenticity.
Uh, yeah, "be who you are" does not mean mass murder. I see what you did there.
Without a doubt, the douchiest Americans I have ever met were the ones who went out of their way to show how un-American they were. When you live in a virtual UN of people, you learn to appreciate humans for who they are. You're from outer Farkistan? Rock on man, do your thing. You're from Iowa? Let's see you throw a party with barbecued corn. You're from the UK? Cool man, that's your wife in the burka. You just do what you do, and people respect you for being true to your own culture.
Maybe stop watching so many American TV shows and movies? Just a thought. A portion of Americans won't shut up about how superior the BBC is and how they can't tune in legally. Why would anyone with access to this treasure of culture possibly tune into anything else? If, indeed, anyone knowing the American emergency number is bad, why did you inform us of the UKian one? Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? Heck, Slashdot is an American site that wears its American-ness on its sleeve, isn't it? Why would any self-respecting UKian even be in such a cesspool of culture in the first place? Awkward...
As an American who's coming up on his tenth anniversary of being overseas full-time, I can say only this: respect your heritage. Say center and truck and elevator and for fuck's sake don't say 'cheers mate'. Be who you are, without apology. Only the douchiest Americans abroad have a hard-on for British English. Don't Britishize yourself - the first people to ridicule you will be the Brits themselves. And as for Americans who are still in America desperately trying to prove how internationally aware they are by self-consciously pointing out how they're using British spellings...well there's a chart out there somewhere similar to this with this sort of American ranked as one of the furries.
Google Trends says "the cloud" has only been a going concern since 2011. What did people think of "the web" in 1996? Spiders, derp derp. TFA: "It would seem that most of them do not understand what âoethe cloudâ is and are confused when this term appears in a conversation." Well derp derp again from TFA: "For those who think of âoethe cloudâ as a fluffy white thing floating in the air, well, you are wrong." Well, what can you really say after that?
They're taking a term that's been re-purposed and making hay out of the fact that nobody knows the new meaning. Heck, if the "rain" part was left out, the story wouldn't even have hit Slashdot. Well done, anonymous marketroid. Way to get attention by doing outrageous garbage instead of real research.

That has nothing to do with nothing - the point is, it's racist to have caring parents.

You know, the whole 'ponytail and beard' thing has become a code of its own these days. Add big black nerd glasses with no lenses for that extra authenticity.
So, what's this problem you have with cross-dressing? What's with the theophobia? Why do you attribute your own fears to those who are not like you?
You see what I did there?

So...no money for phone but money for internet? Priorities, I suppose. Darwin curses..."missed!"
How'd you know 911 is the American emergency number? Apparently you had no problems translating...
