I have always had this OR option, actually it does automatically, maybe not in july 27, 2011… but I think so… Although I hope they make labels and filters together… it would be much easily

Another update on the fatal beating of Otto Zehm:

Yup… Cop who helped cover up the story gets a 1 year suspended sentence.

Gee, you think if you thwarted a murder investigation, you wouldn’t go to jail?

One set of laws for them, another for us.

Comment on RANTS: “Never attribute to malice that which can be attributed to stupidity” is a BAD BAD meme. by M

See I agree with Mr. Eagle, most of your issue comes with the fact that you are using a misquote. The actual quote is “Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.” Now given that we know that drug companies are not stupid, this rule does not apply.

Furthermore the best use of this phrase is usually to imply that someone who’s done something bad is actually just a moron, ie to deflate their ego rather than allowing them to think that being bad is somehow clever.

Finally it’s a “razor” law and these all suffer from the same issue. Which is that they only have utility when you are stumped. In any case where there is some evidence that one of the two choices has more validity than the other then you should not be applying any razor law. I often see people misusing Occam’s razor in this way.

Comment on RACISM IS FAR FROM DEAD: In Alabama, in 2000, 40% of people voted against interracial marriage! by George

@James..it is not an issue with young white people? Is that why they still dont admit non-whites (I mean non-whites, not just blacks) into white sororities at the University of Alabama? Quite a change indeed!

Comment on POLITICS: RANTS: Some fresh perspective? by Stacy

Stacy — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 02:36:05 +0000

And again: “Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort.”

My state is not an embarrassment. What’s embarrassing is the few people who stereotype and assume that everyone in a state is racist just because some are. And racism, by the way, is a two way street. Blacks are as equally capable of racial intolerance as whites and many are. Racial tension is only being kept alive by people who constantly stir up racial disputes. People such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who try to turn anything and everything into a civil rights issue, are a big part of the problem. They line their wallets while blacks continue to feel violated, regardless of whether they are or not. I’ve lived here my whole life. I have worked with people of every color, race, and creed. Never, not even once, have I witnessed racist behavior. Your preconceived notions of widespread racial intolerance, are completely incorrect. To assume that this entire state hates an entire population of a race, is really very ignorant of you. I know I cannot convince you otherwise, nor do I care. I just wanted to address this misguided assault on my home, with a response neither mean nor condescending. I do not seek to insult or misrepresent anyone. I am a better human being than that. So I nothing more to say on this matter.
