• Commented on Bees That Drink Human Tears
  @Apoxia - Perhaps because it is proper usage of the word? It isn't as if it is being used in the sense of slang. As for the bees? I think that is something more out of a John Saul novel...wasn't...
• Commented on Jamba Juice accused of stealing "Get Your War On" artist's work - Update: Jamba responds, GYWO calls for boycott
  And wait, it is okay to promote musical mashups that businesses don't like, but if a business makes an art mash-up we are supposed to charge in and revolt?...
• Commented on Jamba Juice accused of stealing "Get Your War On" artist's work - Update: Jamba responds, GYWO calls for boycott
  When something is in the public domain, it is in the public domain. Period. This is a frightening reversal from people who have fought and fought for things to be in the public domain. If you are using public domain...
• Commented on Bullwhip Artist Attempts Record
  I'm a huge fan of Adam Winrich myself. I think a little back and forth with the records is great though...but Adam still holds six other whip related world records. ;)...
• Commented on More on YouTube phenom Justin, aka "Tsimfuckis" aka "Chick3n Little"
  This really is a no win argument. One side argues that, despite his health condition, he is trying to behave like a "normal kid." Thus, he is not treated like a normal kid. On the other hand, some people are...
• Commented on Jesse Ventura on The View
  Hey Jack? Seeing as Ventura already HAS been waterboarded, maybe we can just count his opinions and reactions as valid already? @14 - freeenterprisechic micjiffy? According to the Larry King interview, Jesse already HAS left and is living in Mexico....
• Commented on Krassner: Stewart was right the first time
  My high school history class had a project where we would do a mock trial of President Truman charging him with war crimes. I was the first prosecutor in the project's history to success in having him found guilty. Generally...

  I love the Simon's Cat cartoons. They certainly qualify as "Wonderful Things."...
• Commented on Canadian music pirates of 1897
  You must've used better search terms than I. I looked through 257 hits and didn't find it. I stand corrected....
• Commented on Canadian music pirates of 1897
  No sign of this article in the NYT archives. Also, the numbers are a little suspect. at 5,000,000 pieces of music pirated in one month via a service that charges 10 cents per copy? A $500k industry in the 1890's?...
• Commented on Dangerous terrorists arrested in the UK weren't
  If a "Top Official" is waving around a top secret memo in such a way that the press is ABLE to photograph it? It sounds like HE is the one that should be locked up under the...is it called the...

• Commented on Naked man tasered at Coachella for refusing to wear wizard's robe
  Bigbadbrods - Espousing that police should be murdered for carrying out their duty is a bit much. That said, "Doing drugs in an atmosphere where drug taking is rife and to a degree expected should never be an (enforceable)crime." I'm...
• Commented on Naked man tasered at Coachella for refusing to wear wizard's robe
  By the way Takuan, police arrest people and COURTS prove someone guilty. Hence, by default EVERYONE arrested has a presumption of innocence. That does NOT prevent arrest. They had probably cause and were STILL willing to let this slide. There...
• Commented on Naked man tasered at Coachella for refusing to wear wizard's robe
  Accepted interpretation by the California Supreme Court. The police aren't acting like judges and your lack of satisfaction implies that you think YOU should be acting as a judge. I'll pass thanks. Is it a minor law? Yes. Most folks...
• Commented on Naked man tasered at Coachella for refusing to wear wizard's robe
  Chocolatey Shatner - Agreed....
• Commented on Naked man tasered at Coachella for refusing to wear wizard's robe
  Not questionable at all. It falls within the accepted interpretation of "public" as covered by the California Penal Code. You can put in all the "what if's" that you'd like, a straw-man argument is a straw-man no matter what side...
• Commented on Naked man tasered at Coachella for refusing to wear wizard's robe
  Well, we can start with California Penal Code 647f PC - Drunk in Public. The Penal Code 647f offense is often referred to as "drunk in public," "disorderly conduct," "public intoxication," or "under the influence in public." Please note the...
• Commented on Naked man tasered at Coachella for refusing to wear wizard's robe
  It is rather a shame that the general populace of the US is so uptight that nudity is taboo....
• Commented on Naked man tasered at Coachella for refusing to wear wizard's robe
  BTW What is "Public" for Penal Code 647f purposes? Penal Code 647f PC defines "public" as, for example, a city street, sidewalk, shopping mall, restaurant or nightclub-any place open to the public. California courts have also found that a person...

  No, YOU are asking that question. Big difference. Of course, if you are an attorney.........
• Commented on Naked man tasered at Coachella for refusing to wear wizard's robe
  What I love is that everyone that points out that this guy was breaking the law and was subdued is derided as a or a chest thumping fascist or the like. Do some people disagree with the laws he was...

  DragonFrog - Kudos for someone who can have a differing opinion and still keep a sense of humor. A real refreshing change....
• Commented on Naked man tasered at Coachella for refusing to wear wizard's robe
  GregLondon "I don't know if you realize it, but you just said it's OK for the cops to get medieval on someone simply because they "refuse an order". The only difference to you, apparently, is the degree to which they...
• Commented on Naked man tasered at Coachella for refusing to wear wizard's robe
  Roast Beef I will admit that I wish every cop was as great as that guy. When I first saw that video of the protest I wrote a letter to the LAPD. He's awesome and we need more cops on...
• Commented on Naked man tasered at Coachella for refusing to wear wizard's robe
  No DragonFrog, I do not fail actually. See, this guy was high as a kite and was refusing a simple, and LEGAL request. Hell, they weren't even trying to arrest him, they just wanted to get some clothes on him....
