    And why is what he said costing the organization money? Cuz of the witch hunt mentality of our society. If people could separate what someone says from what they do this wouldn't happen. It didn't happen cuz people want blood. They enjoy the power trip even if it doesn't make sense. We've...

    Godzilla

    Not really. I mean, I value my opinion and all but it's not like I think I'm smarter than the average [insert animal here] or anything so it really doesn't make sense to me. I can see it's gonna be garbage so I assume (many) others can as well. I liked the old ones, too, but I also know...

    We're heading somewhere I don't think we ever were intended to - and somewhere I definitely don't define as free (er, as free as we can get). Just look at the number of apologies people in the media or entertainment or sports are forced to make. Most of 'em are actual accidents or just jokes...

    Godzilla

    Yup. Ultimately it's an individual thing. People tend to forget that. Like, it honestly amazes me that people today like the Beatles or Pink Floyd. Why? Cuz they've been told that stuff is the bee's knees since they were kids. And how could I forget the Ice Capades? *shudder* Yeah...

    I was gonna let this go but your fundamental lack of understanding of my position - despite my many, many clarifications of said - has compelled me to respond. I never said racism was ok. Not once. If that's what you're getting out of this, well, I have to say it says a lot. I won't bother...

    Godzilla

    I really hate the 'lots of people liked it so it must be good' stuff but I've talked about why a lot already. So this time I'll just mumble a bit ... Hitler ... Salem ... Crusades ...

    Godzilla

    I honestly can't believe anyone paid to see this. I guess if you had to see it, the big screen would be the only way but why would anyone have to see this? Not one thing was appealing about it in any of the trailers I saw. Meh, I also thought Pacific Rim would be incredibly terrible (and I...

    1) There is no evidence whatsoever that he acted on anything he said. 2) There is no evidence whatsoever that his beliefs had any impact on his NBA business practices. 3) What he said he said in private. It was a private conversation meant for a specific, singular audience. 4) That private...

    Umm ... I'm sure you've said some nasty things about coworkers, bosses or employees over the years - we all have. That didn't create a hostile work environment, did it? In other words, your action did nothing by itself. Hopefully that puts things in perspective for you. The man said...

    Danny, he didn't create a hostile work environment, the woman who baited and recorded him did when she sold the recordings.

    [May] What are you reading?

    I've finished Spring Torrents and am now working on the essay on it. Typically a classic like this has a forward that delves into the story a bit, its relations to others by the author and what it means in the context of the time it was written. This translation, though, has only a note...

    Batman vs super man batmobile

    Not to worry, my dear squirrel! Dragsters are not NASCAR, they're NHRA! Fair enough. One of the best westerns ever done.

    Three Word Story Game

    In the forest where the dragons exiled our ancestors, lay in wait a raven, murder on his mind. On bodies feeding, small rodents, waiting for a mushroom. The raven's name is John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt. The magic mushroom no longer grows; instead it walks. John Raven pondered: The meaning...

    Batman vs super man batmobile

    A top fuel dragster ... sort of. You don't like Depp? You need to watch Dead Man like right now.

    His best role was in This is the End.

    I always hate it when I agree with him. I should probably reassess my disgust at this point. :P For the record, the Green Bay Packers are a publicly owned team (the only one in the NFL). TMZ broke the story, I believe, and they're know for paying for dirt. We have to look at who released...

    I wish I had been invited...

    I bet they do but I also bet they keep the distribution rights. Oh well, small price to pay. Yeah, it's over now. Damn shame.

    I wish I had been invited...

    Yeah, I imagine some sort of kickback is in order. One point of negotiation, though: I'd try to work in a deal to use the wedding photographer ... for that one thing. That would have been sweet. Sadly, it's an impossible dream now that Ody is dead.
