Um, you can't be serious. Do you really think that racism against whites is a bigger problem at this point than racism against non-whites? Open your eyes, read up, look at the statistics, at the distribution of wealth, housing, health.

Wow. The anti-Staple sentiment here is just crazy. I love the original version, but I might just prefer the Last Waltz version. More voices, especially when those are the voices of the Staple Singers, really fills out the song. Its like when the weight comes on the radio late at night when you are hanging out with

This. Like many (all?) political and social movements (I'm not referring to LGBT identity as a political movement, but to the equality movement particularly), particularly those more associated with the left, the more achievements come, the more barriers that are knocked down, the more the political infighting starts,

Cocaine's a hell of a drug…

I believe you might be confused. The yuppies and bums are all about 40 miles to the south, I believe its a town called Rock or something

Any other residents of the upper midwest notice that the beer Marshall's mom brought Marshall's dad was a Grain Belt Premium? Well, "Premiere" in the props world. Still, I was impressed that they made up a fake beer to look like a real regional brand.

Oh, fuck, and Early Morning Cold Taxi. I love the early singles. I DJed at the radio station in college, and we had some early Who singles compilation on vinyl, and I used to play stuff from it constantly. And then some fucker stole it.

So I just plugged in my letter of resignation for my current (soon to be past) job and it popped Dickens. Which is odd considering the letter's brevity.

Wow, ZMF and Noel "Bitch-Ass" Murphy share more than previously thought.

I agree that the signatories of the petition aren't trying to excuse rap, but the point they are making about the festival is not particularly coherent. Known fugitives tend to be arrested when travelling publicly.

Polanski knew he had an extradition warrant. He has accepted awards in the past in absentia because he was worried about it. He got lazy, got pinched, and now is getting off.

Fellow homebrewers: Man (or Woman) up and go all-grain, you will not regret it. So much tastier. Also so much more time consuming, but fun.

Yeah, that is definitely uncool. You had a watertight reasonable expectation of not having things like that discussed openly.

Yeah, I had Omar's death spoiled as well on these boards, but it was well over a year after the Wire went of the air, and its no one's fault but our own for not watching it earlier.

I don't think Noel was commenting on the probability of the plotlines as much as the execution. And I would agree, the storylines of the first season, while certainly plausible, are presented in such broad strokes compared to the detailed view of the characters and setting. I found it pretty jarring. Like if you

Also, I might be in the minority here, but there really has to be a statute of limitations on announcing TV spoilers. As in, if its not the current season (maybe the last one) spoilers are fair game. I myself tend to catch up on series in big chunks, but really, if I demanded a spoiler-free existence, I'd watch

I mean, do people really still watch HBO shows for titties? Its the twenty-teens for gods sake. Free internet porn is nearly 20 years old

GeoX: As someone who has done a lot of academic reading (and a share of writing), I would agree that many complex concepts require complex writing, but I would say to many academics use that as license to not make their writing clear, even to others who are familiar with the concepts being written about. In my
