Not really a good analogy given that MU complies with DMCA takedown requests. They're certainly no pirate bay style operation. In fact, I don't even see how this is any more legal than taking down Youtube tomorrow.

Wasn't there also the mob attack on that Roma camp in Italy a few days ago after an Italian girl lied about being raped? I guess it's a nasty combination of economic depression and conflict with minorities.

Ya. You are only a terrorist if you kill people of value. Who cares about Africans.

What strikes me as audacious is how she takes the attitude that people with different interests than her don't even belong in the dating world. As though there's some kind of mass conspiracy to hook unassuming Normal People™ up with card game players.

Meh, like any form of entertainment, you have to wade through it to find something that breaks the norms. All of he criticisms made so far are more or less fair but not universal. The problem with anime is that it is being marketed to an extremely small but devoted following and so its...

A bar and towel works perfectly for me. One lather on the towel is good for an longer time. As I understand it, there are some people who apply the bar directly to their body, which is just madness. As for liquid soap, as long as it isn't like bodywash which doesn't lather and has to be...

Dude, they had the Senate, House, Presidency, and momentum from 2008 to 2010. What do we need to do for the Democratic party to grow a spine, given them 80% majorities in both the House and Senate and kidnap the remainder of Congress? No matter what you give these people, they're bullied into...

If Obama was just going to cave to all republican demands anyway, he could have done that a while ago and spared us a all a whole lot of sound and fury.

Except that that's totally not the argument being made. When someone says that homosexuality occurs naturally in certain species, it's always a response to the ubiquitous assertion that homosexuality is not naturally occurring and is almost never used as an argument for why homosexuals should be...

If I was being given weapons and the authority to use them as I see fit to enforce the law as I see fit, I'd find it perfectly reasonable to submit to whatever legal checks the population wanted to impose. With power comes responsibility.

It's David "Moral Panic" Brooks. The guy is insidious. He always sounds reasonable, but at the end of the day his message is "conform to conservative lifestyles." And I don't believe our education system is as open and inward focused as he says. Sure, we pay lip service to the idea of "finding...

Because the majority of women are that attractive? Because even the attractive ones get a leg up in work settings? If anything, this would demonstrate how women are marginalized and their worth is reduced to their appearance, not the inverse.

I think I have sort of a backlash effect. I tend to assume, rightly or wrongly that attractive women are trying to get one over or that they often have and thus adjust my favour towards them a little lower to compensate. Social justice and all. I've frankly never understood the phenomenon. Guys...

I've never seen anyone feel that they were not bettered for the experience after they found out it wasn't real. The only people you ever see who are irritated or offended are the ones who know that they just did or said something less than virtuous on national television. The stand-up guys are...

Eh, about as much as countries having immigration laws in general infringes upon freedom of movement.

Huck and Mitch aren't running, Newt and Mitt are apparently too liberal. I guess Pawlenty is the last line of defense before the GOP has to start dipping into the looney bin.

Overlap? People who think one are highly likely to think the other.

*snicker*

Servility =/= intelligence. I could teach a cat to do things, but it would rather not. If I wanted something to fetch and roll over, I would buy a congressman.
