• Commented on Kfetch
  Just to be clear, I completely agree with Adam in that "There is no shortage of genuine racism alive and well in the US and around the world." and "We lefties need to choose our battles carefully lest we resemble...
• Commented on Kfetch
  I can get why I wasn't outraged initially and why I'm (sadly?) only conflicted now... I can totally see it being ok 20 years ago to dress kids up this way... but as Diana Nguyen and Jen Wang point out...
• Commented on Kfetch
  I don't think 'racist' is a term that should be thrown around lightly... even if it's just for a laugh, or 'someone elses words' when it goes without out any sort of comment for clarity... especially if the hidden 'lol...
• Commented on Kfetch
  I don't think his assumption that you would be outraged from what you called 'racism' above should really be considered 'projecting' instead of really calling for a bit of clarity... I'll leave it to you to list at least five...

• Commented on Teen discovers bat hiding in her bra
  So, she's started on a series of rabies shots then? From what I understand if you ever wake up and find a bat is in the room with you you're supposed to get a series of rabies shots just to...
• Commented on Pretend cops bully videographer, videographer wins
  #104 arkizzle See, I read '"A police officer has no more right to lay hands on someone than any other member of the community."' as meaning a police officer can't do -MORE- (I wish I could add -MORE- emphasis) than...
• Commented on Italians choosing pasta over pizza
  It might just be me but... I don't really see the article calamining it's due to a rise in the price of the ingredients. According to the article the actual cost of the ingredients is a minor part of the...
• Commented on That Violet Blue thing
  What could VioletBlue possibly do that would get past posts that referenced her beleted? I can't really think of any crime that would cause someone to want to tear out all traces of an old acquaintance from memory... and I...
• Commented on That Violet Blue thing
  Was this because Boingboing had been included as a 'pornography site' in blacklists because of links to VB's site? you know in all those lame filters that libraries, schools, businesses & dictatorships use....
• Commented on Pretend cops bully videographer, videographer wins
  @#100 arkizzle Are you kidding? Your case is an officer actually assaulting someone... not 'touching' them which isn't necessarily assault... If you want to prove me wrong find case law that shows police can't touch anyone ever, preferably it would...
• Commented on Pretend cops bully videographer, videographer wins
  @#93 asuffield OK YES YES, it's how a reasonable person sees the actions of the defendant, not how a reasonable person would act in the defendants shoes... I've got to say you're about as bad at getting your point across...
• Commented on Pretend cops bully videographer, videographer wins
  @#88 asuffield Do you think I've been claiming that the person who was harmed needed to have acted reasonably? because I was saying the person who did the harm had to be unreasonable. It's reasonable people who say 'yeah that...
• Commented on Pretend cops bully videographer, videographer wins
  @#58 asuffield "Probably because it's done by loud people wearing a uniform that has a history of shooting innocent people without warning." So it's about history? so if a black person kills someone somewhere at some point then reasonable people...
• Commented on Pretend cops bully videographer, videographer wins
  @#40 Jake0748 Generally it's more about what a reasonable person thinks isn't it? I can imagine an attractive woman walking up to the photographer and with a wink and smile patting the guys cheek and saying 'would you quit filming...
• Commented on Pretend cops bully videographer, videographer wins
  @#34 Jake0748 I'll completely agree that it wouldn't be part of their job, but I'm not sure I, or the law, would agree with you on the assault bit. I wouldn't consider touching another person (or their property) as assault...
• Commented on Pretend cops bully videographer, videographer wins
  @#29 cubey I'll agree that people go a little overboard and have crazy thoughts about the world falling apart, but you have to admit the two in the video are absolutely horrible at their 'job', and that most people would...
• Commented on American Eagle flight returns to gate after flight attendant goads autistic toddler into a tantrum
  @Takuan Rereading my posts I was being insensitive to the situation, I agree with your point, but I think it's hard to blame the flight attendant with such one sided information (Cory called it goading while I don't believe the...
• Commented on American Eagle flight returns to gate after flight attendant goads autistic toddler into a tantrum
  @Antinous Fair enough. @Takuan no and no, but I have done the run of the mill stuff with kids form in the age group of 1-3 including feeding, and putting to bed, and soothing, and playing with, and just making...
• Commented on American Eagle flight returns to gate after flight attendant goads autistic toddler into a tantrum
  @Takuan I wouldn't say 'completely ignorant', but I'll admit I'm not totally up to snuff as to the condition because I didn't know that they would be indestructible while bouncing around the cabin during severe turbulence while not hurting other...

  Enlightenment from our savior eustace! The hallowed earth beckons our call! Praise Eustace!...
• Commented on American Eagle flight returns to gate after flight attendant goads autistic toddler into a tantrum
  "...He was upset. He was on the floor rolling around..." So during takeoff her child was on the floor rolling around? Sounds like grade A parenting right there! It's tragic, really, that the pilots didn't just take off, I mean...

  Takuan, The deprogramming manuals of hope are the way to dropping the self conscious doubt that has plagued you, with them you can (and will!) find your way to Eustace, and through Eustace you will be enlightened! Eustace will use...
• Commented on Mind Control Made Easy
  noen is a non believer, don't fall for his false praise of Eustace our savior! Shun him! his mind is tainted with thoughts of failure, he has been corrupted by the devils of doubt and intends to infect us all!...

• Commented on Scrubbing the atmosphere of CO2
  Antinous, The earths population also didn't have the ability to put a man on the moon at the time, or nuclear reactors, or giant machines 10x bigger then the average persons home that rips coal out of the ground, airplanes...
• Commented on Scrubbing the atmosphere of CO2
  Passed the tipping point of what? the earth getting 10 degrees hotter? oh noes! humanity would be forever ruined if 80 years from now it where 10 degrees hotter! Sure it wouldn't be good, but it's not the end of...
• Commented on Pirate Bay offering crypto tools to fight Swedish spying laws
  If they're going to illegal lengths to punish them, then I agree with you -and- hope that the law wins and get those breaking the law, especially if they wear a badge or hold an official government position. I suppose...
