Re: MIAMI BEACH: Hate Crime Suspects Surrender To Police

“This is a terrible crime, as such, we are dedicating our full efforts to capturing the attackers. I mean, as long as they're not too far away or anything. What do you expect us to do, run? It's not like they did anything really bad, like be black in public."

"30 kids sitting in desks bored out of their minds, creativity and imagination beaten out of their brains"

Like that doesn't happen down a coal mine or on a factory assembly line?

Re: Graphic novel course to get disclaimer following complaints by student, her parents

robertcooper — Wed, 17 Jun 2015 17:58:27 -0000

This is the disclaimer they should use for that course:

"Disclaimer - you're supposed to be grownups. You're going to be reading about grownups doing grownup things. If you can't handle that, don't be a whiny little bitch and try to ruin it for everyone else."

"But he also embodies the physical presence of the crime-fighting vigilante known as Daredevil (look for the long take fight sequence in episode two as a prime example)."

Er...you have heard of these people called 'stunt performers', yeah?

"There's no protection in here for heterosexuals." If I had a dollar for every time somebody had been fired for being heterosexual...well, I'd be pretty much as poor as I am right now.

And, without having read the bill, if it's to be illegal to fire somebody on the basis of their sexual orientation, then yes, that would include us poor, oppressed heterosexuals.

Windows instructions also assume users aren't using the Chrome browser. For some reason, Chrome doesn't have the 'right Click - set as desktop background' option.

Re: Still Using Internet Explorer 7? That’ll Cost You

robertcooper — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 21:20:35 -0000

People criticise Microsoft for bundling IE with Windows, but I think it's a great idea. After all, without any kind of repository/package management system, how else are Windows users going to be able to download a decent browser?

Re: For Everyone

You guys have the right idea when it comes to making comics everyone can enjoy. And it's not robot science, it's not complicated stuff, I can't understand why so many other comics creators seem to be going out of their way to exclude from their audience anybody who isn't the stereotypical Comicbook Guy.

The excuse you posted above doesn't hold a drop of water, either; when you're creating a comic, you have to think about *every word* that goes on the page. You have to think about *every line of artwork* that goes on the page. You have to actually go out of your way to include half a dozen butt shots per issue. It's not like they just fall onto the page when nobody's looking and oh it's too much effort to erase them, let's just leave them there. They were put there, as a deliberate artistic choice. So I do not accept for one second that it's "too hard" to make a comic that isn't wall-to-wall T&A.

Anyway, you keep makin' 'em, I'll keep buyin' 'em. And I'll give them to my kids to read, and other people's kids, and anyone who's interested in having some FUN in their life, goddammit!

"Now, if only Microsoft would feel the same way about Internet Explorer."
But if IE wasn't included, how could the user download Google Chrome?

Re: U.S. Customs Halt HTC One X And EVO 4G LTE At The Border

I thought it was the job of Customs to protect the country from potentially dangerous goods, not to protect corporate profits?

How dare you try to encroach on the UnChristian Right's freedom to bully gay kids into suicide, Matt.

How dare you.

Re: How About Some Good News? Gay Attempted Suicide Victim Recovering In Ohio

robertcooper — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:22:54 -0000

Austin, I'm also not going to tell you 'It Gets Better'. I'm a straight 42-year-old from Australia, what do I know about being a gay teenager in Ohio (except that it's probably not very pleasant)?

But as somebody who has contemplated suicide in the past, I will tell you this - if you do it, you're guaranteeing that things will never get better. If you stay alive, and stay strong, there's a pretty good chance they will.

Take care of yourself,

I'm onto my second HTC phone now; I recently upgrade from the Desire to the Velocity. If they keep up this kind of quality, I can't see myself ever using another brand of phone.

“Her birth date didn’t match. Her address didn’t match. Her description didn’t match. Other than the name Teresa, nothing matched,” Ashleigh Merchant, Culpepper’s lawyer, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Oh, I'm pretty sure I can think of one other thing that probably matched.

That is the single most insane downhill run I have ever seen. Did nobody tell him it was raining? He rode that better in the wet than most riders would do on a dry course.

At the end, it sounds like Rob Warner had blown a vocal cord. He should get that looked at.

"Notably, as soon as the new information came to hand, Bolt corrected the record."
Yes he did. Then, barely pausing for metaphorical breath, went on to use this terrible event as another excuse to have a crack at Muslim immigration anyway. Anything to distract from the fact that, this time, it was One Of Us doing the bad thing, not One Of Them.

And of course, his coterie of mouth-breathing cheerleaders were all to eager to jump on board and lay the boot in themselves (not that that lot ever need much of an excuse), giving us such gems as, "...if there is a rise of Right wing fanatics in Europe it is because of what is happening to THEIR CULTURES through Political Correctness and Immigration. "

So basically, even when it’s not The Muslims’ fault, it’s still The Muslims’ fault.

Re: VIDEO ROUND-UP: In NH, Opponents Claim Marriage Equality Would Facilitate ‘Sharia Law’

Oh, good grief. In one of the quotes in that video that was apparently cut short, one muppet seems to be arguing against marriage equality on the basis that they would then have to allow a parent to marry their child. I could be wrong, but that's what this person seems to be saying.

What is this I don't even

I hope they get the message, Matt. These spineless pussies need to realise that the Republicans aren't the ones running the country any more, and start to act accordingly.
