  1. Re:I've seen worse... on New Site Mocks Bad Artwork On Ebook Covers · · Score: 1

    Eh. Baen's just often exhibit bad taste.. But it's well-executed bad taste. And it does do it's job. You can indentify ANY Baen book simply by looking at the spine.

  2. Re:Not sure the covers are the problem. on New Site Mocks Bad Artwork On Ebook Covers · · Score: 1

    It seems to be a thing with Amazon e-books in center ....genres....to describe that genre as completely as possible within the title. For example: Taken by the Alphas (Book Two): Gay Shapeshifter Wolf Ménage Romance, or Taken by the Shifters: Part One (BBW/Shifter Romance), or Taken: Billionaire Menage Romance Serial (Billionaire Brothers Book 1). There seems to be a lot of taking going on, a lot of shapeshifting going on, a lot of being a BBW, and a lot of billionaire romance going on. I'm waiting for the billionaire shapeshifter genre.

    That's kind of the point of educational projects.

    Yeah, I'm paying between 6 and 7 bucks for them.

    Really? Apparently you never turn them on.

    I doubt this verdict will hold up.

  8. Verdict on $7.4 Million Blurred Lines Verdict Likely To Alter Music Business · · Score: 2

    I seriously doubt the verdict will stand. There really isn't anything other than the feel and the groove of Gaye's song there. And you can't copywrite those.

    Protected by action from a federal government agency, possibly.

  10. Re:My two cents... Black Racism is out of Control on YouTube Video of Racist Chant Results In Fraternity Closure · · Score: 1

    Because, Lord knows, there's no possible explanation as to why black people might act a bit hostile toward the people that enslaved them for a few hundred years. It's inconceivable!

    So chanting about hanging the niggers from a tree isn't a threat?

  12. Re:You don't say... on YouTube Video of Racist Chant Results In Fraternity Closure · · Score: 1

    Jesus god, there is nothing PC about finding that a group chanting about hanging the niggers from a tree probably doesn't belong on a modern college campus. And if you think they do, you probably don't belong there either asshole.

  13. Re:You don't say... on YouTube Video of Racist Chant Results In Fraternity Closure · · Score: 1

    Bullshit.. There are NOT classes on every campus in the country that teach all men are rapists. There just aren't. You fear of the wymen is ridiculous.

  14. Re:You don't say... on YouTube Video of Racist Chant Results In Fraternity Closure · · Score: 1

    College is also a place where a student ought to be free to learn without worrying about a gang of mouthbreathers chanting their desire to hang him from a tree.

  15. Re:You don't say... on YouTube Video of Racist Chant Results In Fraternity Closure · · Score: 1

    Yeah. It is. Also, do you ever stop to think of the consequences for black people going to a school that actively endorses a group of people who get together and chant about hanging them from trees?

    You couldn't possibly be making less sense.

  22. You're the one who professed ignorance of the situation and a lack of interest in learning what the situation is and consequently made a statement that was full of shit, ie, he's a blogger that's what they do. No. He's a borderline hall of fame pitcher media celebrity gaming CEO. It's not my fault you want to shoot your mouth off without having a clue. So get off you're own lawn.

  23. What part of what I wrote was unclear. He HAS a blog. That is not the same thing as being a BLOGGER. Tens of thousands of people have blogs. That isn't how Curt Schilling gets his attention.

  24. He isn't a blogger. Just because he maintains a blog doesn't make him a blogger. He's a former major league pitcher, an ESPN sports analyst and a former video game company CEO. He doesn't remotely need a blog to be noticed. He's on freaking national television all the time.

  25. Um...you do know who he is, right? He's kind of more than 'a blogger'. Just because he has a blog does not mean he begins and ends at 'blogger'.
