I dunno. Historically that wasn't the case. In the 80's it was a trickle of Superman films every few years. That was it. Then late 80's to 90's it was Batman every few years until B&R. Then nothing until Marvel did X-Men and Spiderman. I'm forgetting where (Daredevil and Blade fit in timeline wise) And in…

The problem is, some of those laws have already been overturned in court because libellous speech which you can sue over is not criminalized because that's considered to be the first domino that falls in the suppression of free speech. New York's high court struck down its anti-bullying law for that reason.

What I find myopic about this is the fact that athletics were historically a component of a well rounded education. That's just simple old school Renaissance Man stuff. The point of sports were not to break even and they have been traditionally subsidized because they ARE student enrichment activities. They are not…

Beautiful analogy.

Ha. Well I don't know either of them personally. To me its just a business capitalizing on the name. Jordan's bad points were infidelity and gambling addiction. I'm just saying if either of them want to create a classy restaurant I think they should have the option. If a person thinks a wrestler is by definition…

You also have the quandry of how are people qualifying attraction when they ask this question. Are men and women answering the question in the same way and arriving at different answers or are men and women answering differently based on socialization and interpretation of the question.

To be fair, Michael Jordan has a steakhouse. The issue is Hogan only allowing certain types of casual clothing in a casual restaurant. If he wanted to make it suit 'n tie, he's certainly free to do that.

MRA'ing really isn't my bag, but I know where the argument for this originally came from. When people were looking at issues of how society was oppressive to women, some came back and looked at how a lot of the little things influenced the status of men. Things like machismo and vixation on virility steered men…

Completely unrelated to anything, but as I was reading this tangent it reminded me of Hubbard's "Never explain - Your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway."

Except they can't protect that image anymore. It's painfully obvious to everyone (not sure how it wasn't before...but people seem shocked) at this point how permissive the culture is. Sure teams cut players all the time for things like this. But do you honestly think anyone is going to be getting a slap on the…

Because you can either start doing it and be hypocritical or continue doing what they had been doing which was nothing and look like enablers of a bunch of man-children. That's harsher than I mean it to sound, but the day major sports teams start taking their medicine on this stuff, it's going to suck for fans…

Not sure why, but orientation seems to be tricky with the public and actors. I've seen people get annoyed when LGBT actors play straight roles and I've seen people get mad when straight people play LGBT roles. It may just be that people overly analyze when they know that's the situation and blame the actors for what…

They could maximize their current strategy that way, but not maximize their potential sales. The only way (and this might be valid but I doubt it) you could maximize your sales through targeting one racial demographic is if both groups are so polarized that there is zero overlap in which case you have to target the…

I guess my question is, what are are the flaws you're referring to? The game is so old now, other than the hats though I don't see people complaining and those weren't there originally.

To me, Oliver isn't really that different from Stewart or Colbert... he's just got an accent and stumbles over his lines more. I wish I liked him more, but when articles like this go up I just sort of wish we'd imported David Mitchell instead.

Absolutely. After all, if there's one thing history has proven it's that poverty and desperation is a veritable panacea in regards to civil rights and personal reflection.

Sorry, this is just a geographical nitpick, but the major metropolitan areas represent the center of the state or the Texas Triangle. So when you say the remote parts of Texas, you're really referring to areas where the nearest access is across the border which is actually a shorter trip. Then it just depends what…

Umm... arrest and/or criminal justice. Getting both just sounds like the guy sorta got screwed.

I made that last part up because I know kids love Pizza Hut from the commercials that ran before my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles home video cassette.

It's fair enough. It's sort of that really strange thing where you can look at a percentage and say "wow, that's really good." But then you look at the actual number that percentage represents and it's infuriating.
