78s! Young punks! Back in the day, we didn't have no steenking disc recordings for our music. No, we had good old wax cylinders, the way God and Tom Edison intended!
78s?! Young whippersnapper (or snapperwhipper)! Back in my day we had to feed a roll of paper into the player piano and set the playing speed with a mechanical lever. And we were thankful! Kids today! Now, get the hell off my lawn!
Others have already addressed other aspects of your infantile stupidity, so I will simply sound off on this one...
Hmm... I got fired from a small medical equipment company in silicon valley when my boss overheard me say that 'white smocks are for white schmucks'. The boss decided that all employees had to wear white coats to work; blue jeans and button down shirts were no longer allowed. I actually got an unemployment check when I told the hearing judge that 'forcing Asian workers to wear white smocks was an insult because in VietNam and China only corpses were wrapped in white. The boss was telling the workers that they were nothing more than dead meat."
So, you are not only a racist, but you refuse to play by the accepted standards of where you live. I'd say your boss did right to fire you. Plus, I doubt this was the only time on this job that you showed yourself to be a completely obnoxious ass. It is simply the one that your boss mentioned to you. If you had some people skills, you would have picked up on these kind of cues long before it became something they wanted to fire you over. I've done some things that annoyed my employers, but I picked up quickly that I did something wrong and let them know that I wouldn't do it again (using those people skills, though. You would probably spell it out for them sentence-by-sentence like some kind of script.)
Also, my wife is Asian and she had to wear a white smock while in the lab at her job. It was never an issue. You adapt to where you live. Your whole rant sounds like you are incredibly immature and are used to blaming everyone else for your own dumb mistakes.
I wonder how you'd react if this were, say, a mother of another student using a fake profile to post these kinds of things about a girl at her daughter's school and that girl subsequently killed herself.
Context is the key. A pricipal advertising his paedophilia online is obviously a hoax and only a frigging moron (or, in legalese, someone who is not a "reasonable person") would think it was a serious page. The article you linked to was about a deliberate and planned impersonation, with a clear intent that the falsehoods seem genuine.
Its purpose to highlight or poke fun at something particular in a fashion that's obviously contrary to reality -- like calling Rev. Jerry Falwell an incestuous drunk.
So, Jerry Falwell wasn't an incestuous drunk? Considering how much he talked about being able to see childrens' genitals in some commercials and declaring so many things (including a cartoon sponge) to be obviously gay, he was certainly at least *some* kind of closet case.
I thought in the USA what happens next was you draw your gun to defend yourself - since the cops will take ages etc etc.
Well, that's what happens in the South. Or, as in one town I lived in, you occasionally get some guy gunning down a four year-old girl who wanders into his yard. And then, these dipshits will have these blank, stupid hillbilly looks on their faces when they are sentenced for murder or voluntary manslaughter since they thought "sumbitch had it comin'!" should have been an adequate court room defense. (of course, these are the same people for whom "That's what daughters are for" is considered a good defense against accusation of child rape).
So, in short, it really is that bad in some parts of the US, which is why we have so many handgun murders here.
and that guy whose head the real killer, whom I have vowed to track down, bashed in.
Fixed for you, OJ. As for the hacker, maybe he can get someone from the Cochran firm (which still exists, despite the fact that Johnnie Cochran is dead) to argue "If the IP address does not fit, then you must acquit!"
With a name like "Foobar of Borg"? Please. At worst you assimilate people. More likely, though, you just run around at Star Trek conventions, pretending that you matter.
Actually, what I wrote is a line from UHF. You and the morons who modded me troll need to turn in your geek cards now. And actually, I've never been to a trek convention, though once I made the mistake of going to a Star Trek movie on opening night. Scary people...
Never underestimate the power of liberal white guilt.
Ah, yes. Liberal white guilt. The same excuse as to why Jim Crows laws should have been kept, because liberal white guilt is the only reason anyone could possibly want to get rid of "Whites Only" signs. What's next? The tired old garbage that a Conservative is a Liberal who has been mugged (with the connotation that the former Liberal was mugged by one of "them")?
J, as we all learned in Indiana Jones ALMOST Last Crusade doesn't exist, so it's really I, which sounds like Y if you say it fast in front of an O... but anyway...
Actually, what bugged about that little bit was that, while it is true that Jehovah would start with an "I" in Latin, that is because there is no "J" in Latin. There should not have been a "J" for him to step on. But, I digress...
Which is almost never a problem. If it ever does accumulate in any noticeable amount, a little warm water will do the trick. Again, genital mutilation is not the answer.
Just out of curiosity, what does genital mutilation have to do with Ray Beckerman being sued by the RIAA?
Perhaps not a de jure national language, but most definitely a de facto national language -- English. All of our laws are written in English. Our Constitution is written in English. All of our road signage is in English.
When my grandfather came here from Greece, he was expected to learn English to the level of being functionally conversant and literate. When he started a family here, he did not speak Greek in the household, he spoke English. Back then, acculturation / cultural assimilation was considered normal and proper.
Same thing with my mother's family from Holland, my father's family from Germany, and my wife's family from Indonesia. All had to learn English to get on in America. I don't know why so many immigrants from Spanish-speaking countries seem to think that they are the only immigrants or that they deserve super special treatment. Maybe we should make legal immigration easier (assuming it is now more difficult than from elsewhere), but for fuck's sake, get in line with everyone else.
If some people are held to higher standards due to their position, why are there so many cases of BLATANT conflicts of interest with our elected officials?
Because the enforcement mechanisms are presently shot to hell and back.
Since there are now about 100 idiotic "joke" comments on this thread, perhaps I can put in a serious note. Hubble finding something presently unidentifiable is fantastic. One of the best things you can hear in scientific circles is something along the lines of "What the hell is that?"
It would be way more fun to hear about the FBI storming an elementary school.
They would probably taser a bunch of five year-olds for not being cooperative. "I told them to get down, but all they would do is cry and say 'I want my mommy!' The book says we should taser non-cooperative suspects, so that's what we did." And then some scum-bag lawyer would argue that the police acted within their authority and that the law does not distinguish between a 200 lb drugged-up brute attacking a police officer and a five year-old crying for his mommy.

Ah yes, the vegetarian! There were go mister Hitler, a little white wine with that...you nazi shithead...
Hitler didn't drink alcohol either. The guy just didn't know how to relax. If someone could have pushed weed on him, we could have avoided WWII, the Holocaust, and so on.
I hate this notion where ya can't do squat without some license from the government.
Yes! Just the other day, I wanted to take some kid's appendix out. But, the damn Nanny State government said I actually needed to have a medical license! What kind of fascist dictatorship are we living in, anyway?
