Commented on SAME we can believe in
I have to say, I don't get his approach at all. (If you do get it, please explain.) By doing this he's siding with the abusers, and dragging the issue out (on the principle that an issue isn't settled --...

Commented on Richard Metzger on Ayn Rand

Commented on 555 California security guards in San Fran threaten to punch sidewalk photographer, break his f*cking camera
Grumpy, Sleepy and Sneezy? I really hate making fun of people's appearances because for the most part we can only work with what we're born with, but they're really begging for it. I bet we could find the four others...

Commented on European Internet sinking fast under 3-strikes proposals
Calling it "three strikes" is a complete misrepresentation. It should be called "three possibly-unfounded accusations, without evidence, against you or anyone in your family." And if you're an individual, you support this why? Because their profits are more important than...

Commented on Laura Levine photography at Brooklyn Museum exhibition of Rock & Roll photography 1955-present
One time I was out for a walk with some relatives and their four-year-old daughter. After a while it started to rain - a heavy downpour. While the grown-ups were pitching fits about the water, the young one transformed into...
