• Commented on Inebriated woman falls in front of oncoming train
  Jessemoya, I've lived in Boston three months, and have already met many friendly and helpful strangers on public trans and elsewhere. I'm surprised that you're surprised these onlookers tried to save someone's life when it was within their power to...
• Commented on Brit copyright group says, "No laptops allowed in cinemas"
  While a nice indie theater is about a half-mile's walk from my apartment, I attend school downtown and occasionally, before or after class, catch a new release at a multiplex across the street from the building where my classes are...
• Commented on What actual Mayans are saying about 2012
  You certainly don't need to invoke the vengeful gods of anti-racism to say that the 2012-premised movies (I've noticed another one or two on Netflix) and apocalyptic opportunism are silly ideas that will make a lot of money, and that...
• Commented on Boulder park warns that all bags "subject to search"
  I don't understand why this comes as such a shock, or carries such ominous undertones. I've seen signs in practically every public park and trail I've visited across the US that state rules peculiar to a city or state. No...
• Commented on Rupert Murdoch reporters in the UK illegally hacked thousands of peoples' data
  The New York Times' article says the Guardian doesn't cite a single source in its claim that News Corp. paid $1.6m in "damages and legal costs" to three footballers. Moreover, all of the allegations "could not be independently verified" by...

• Commented on NYPD directive on the legality of public photography to print and carry
  They're allowing themselves a small amount of very general leeway to admit into evidence such photographs in the event that someone actually does use photographs taken of "public places, buildings, and structures" toward nefarious ends. They're obviously depending on officers...
• Commented on Ex-drug czar John Walters made a fool on CNN
  News programs are terrible places for such debates. These two ought to have time to adequately express their stances and relevant research, and a moderator that actually requires Mr. Walters to answer the question being asked without sneaking in responses...
• Commented on 911 police officer refuses to help girl who calls about her dying father because she said the F word before the call was answered
  #12, someone's dissing a cop tends to follow the cop having already confronted the dissing party with a minor infraction, which said cop tends to be less likely to overlook after being called some variation on a 'fucking pig' or...
• Commented on Your Morning Dose of Cuteness/Technophobia
  'Research models' for that human disease of which glowing in the dark is a symptom?...
• Commented on Google: the majority of takedown notices are bogus
  Weird, how whenever Google comes up, whatever the matter is, people change the subject to dead horses. Google's always behaved like the big corporation it is, and will, for as long as it's in business, continue to do so. What's...
