  1. Re:"Shock and awe" force implies scaredy-cat polic on Rise of the Warrior Cop: How America's Police Forces Became Militarized · · Score: 1

    This cartoon was written by Moore and produced by Harold Moss. Not by Trey Parker / Matt Stone. There was a whole stink about it from them because Moore made it appear as though it is by the South Park creators. It was not done by them.

  2. Re:Crap on Oracle To Stop Developing Sun Virtualization Technologies · · Score: 5, Funny

    Has anyone ever thought that the Oracle might be evil?

  3. Re:What does "porque cae agua jaja" mean? on Spanish Chatbot Hunts For Pedophiles · · Score: 1

    This technology does not do good enough translation because the output is a gibberish. Someone who is a native Spanish speaker would be able to tell exactly what "because water falls "jaja"" means. Direct and indirect meanings, whatever it might mean.
    1. The speaker could be talking about a waterfall
    2. The speaker could be talking about a play
    3. The speaker could be hinting on something sexual.

    In this small context we do not know, especially since "jaja" is not in a standard dictionary but most likely is a cultural reference, and pneumatically we can only guess what it means. (btw, could it be jojo and the guy than saying that water falls up and down?)
    and yes I agree with the poster above -- you are being a troll here.

    That's why I'll never go buy Stephen King's books or movies, and will never watch movies made by Oliver Stone, or frankly watch anything that has these guys in there.

    " I guess he didn't see this film and the box-office importance of wide appeal coming, did he?"

    Guess what? Majority of the public are not crazy-gay-rights advocates but a normal middle-of-the-road Americans. They could care less of what you think.

  6. Re:Blame Fukushima on Masao Yoshida, Director of Fukushima Daichii Nuclear Plant, Has Died · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    That's great! It means we (the Americans) won't be blamed due to atom bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    I actually mentioned Bradbury.

    Well than let me turn your argument against you. There are many more male homosexuals then female homosexuals. Therefore more females would be left unable to find themselves permanent (don't want to say "mates") partners. That means we can technically engage in polygamy.
    And even if we do have population discrepancy (someone has 7 wives), whom to say we can not have polyandry and have a woman take 7 husbands? Everything would than equal out and frankly your argument would be moot.
    Who said anything about bestiality or pedophilia? You must be a one sick puppy to even mention them why we can't allow them.

    Of course there is infringement of rights. It takes a form of bullying, persecution, public denunciations, baiting, badgering, defamation -- all in a press, on the internet, on TV and radio, being a subject to public campaigns and boycotts.

    We, society of the Oceanian province of Airstrip One, MUST punish anyone who does not believe in the same thing that we do, don't you know that? Freedom of Speech is not part of a Groupthink! Who do you think you are, Emmanuel Goldstein?

  13. Re:So? on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 1

    that's right. I'd never see another Ollie Stone's movie because of that nut-job's parasitic and schizophrenic believes and actions. But I'm not like that. I acknowledge that we all have different opinions and believes.

    I know. I think I will never be able to call a gmarried couple "husband and husband" or "wife and wife"... this just goes against my religious believes.

    wowowowowow stop.
    Noone tried to strip the rights of others.
    You wanted a gay marriage? Marriage is a religious concept (civil union is a civil concept). Card point was that some are trying to redefine societal norms and it will destroy meanings behind cornerstone societal institutions. But that's card.
    But me personally -- frankly -- I don't want you to have ability to marry your own sex until I have an ability to marry many people of the opposite sex... Really, I want to have seven wives. Where are my rights to do that?

  16. Re:Who Cares? on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yeah, I read this nonsence. Basically the author is trying to find an excuse as to why a talented author, a winner of multiple awards for his works would come out against something as nice and progressive as Gay Marriage. So, he went out to destroy his character...... by comparing Ender to... Hitler!

    Oy Vey, if this is his entire arguments to call a man an "asshat" -- these people need serious help....

  17. Re:Tolerate whoever you like on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 1, Funny

    Funny.. I have all Mr. Card's books, and re-read Ender's Game at least once a year, because it is a quality work that deserves to go down in history as one of the classics of American literature. In the future people will forget about Stephen King (the author of toilet-paper level trash), but they will remember Twain, Hemingway, Poe, Fitzgerald, Emerson, Hughes, Hawthorne, Whitman, Poe, Thoreau, Melville, Dickinson, Bradbury and Card.

  18. intellectual dishonesty on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 1

    Did anyone actually read the essay that Mr. Card wrote with clear and open mind? He is right in many aspects. Simply dismissing him as a "bigot" is rather intellectually dishonest.

  19. persecution of the dissent on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 1

    The persecution of the dissent is not unique to the gay community (after all, they have been persecuted a lot longer, and now, I guess, after gay marriage is won it is time for "payback").

  20. hypocracy on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It seems that there are number of groups on both sides of the isle that plead for equal rights for their believes, opinions and convictions when their cause is under attack, however they are just as eager to deny the rights, prosecute their political opponents whenever opportunity arises.
    The hypocrisy present across entire political spectrum, btw. Left, Right, Liberals, Conservatives, Republicans, Democrats, Tea-partiers and Greens, and ironically Anarchists and Libertarians.

    Then remember that Robespierre ended his life on a guillotine. The executioner was executed by his own creation, Comité de salut public. Be careful what you wish for.

  23. Safe only for a little while on Wikileaks Aiding Snowden - Chinese Social Media Divided - Relations Strained · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It is my personal opinion that Snowden (and even Assange) will only be safe as long as Correa is in power in Quinto.
    But as a history of Equador (and frankly entire Latin America) predicts from the past -- it will not be too long before the power will change due to hunta (as 1972-1979), or removal from the office (like Abdalá Bucaram) or a continues power struggle (Rosalía Arteaga / Fabián Alarcón).
    Either way, Equadorian history predicts that the next government will be pro-American.
