I'm missing something here. Asians hate white people now too? When did that happen? I mean since the 2nd World War.

I think that the article was a counterpoint to this article, which I have admit I didn't read much of.

In any case, the thought of capturing Asians in butterfly nets and making them apologize for not making enough Wii's is absolutely great.

I liked it when he talked about asians associating the wrong facial expressions with emotions. I also liked the debate in the comments section, it's great to know that there are aparently educated people out there going around making statements like "just because there's a 12-point 'opinion' warning under your headline doesn't mean you're allowed to say anything you're allowed to make these statements. Take a journalism class" and "freedom of speech is a neccesary evil". Now I no longer wonder why 99.9% of journalists have no balls; they were taught that way when they went to school and got their fake certification.

Hey, I resent that. I'm sleeping through about 60% of my classes in order to get a degree in Journalism.

Holy fuck, it only gets better:

Quote

"I would hate to see my work looked down upon because someone feels it is right to attempt controversy."

That's from some other writer in the same paper. Notice the wording there; it's pretty much a given that they think it is unethical to stir the pot. Now I know why no one ever publishes anything about Darfur or writes anything actually insightful about Israel/Palestine, Serbs/Albanians, Russians/Chec..Chech...whoever.

Quote

"You need to think about what is responsible to print, and that is not self-censorship. It's called news judgement ... but this piece does not belong on an opinion page. At least create a section for it so that your readers don't get confused ... and we're not the enemy. We are former students and current journalists who have been in your position and are offering advice as to what is responsible. Don't be so quick to brush us off."

And now I know why all the 'letters to the editor' in news papers and magazines are written by total morons; they're the only ones stupid enough to take any of these chumps seriously...and aparently they get confused very very easily.

I'm learning all kinds of things here. Sadly, most of them are really depressing in a "we're totally fucked" kind of way.

And Ghandi, come on now - we all know you're a nurse.

Yes, it's true. I like the little dress. Plus all the doctors slap you on the ass and stuff.

But yeah, the comments were all pretty absurd. I actually made a comment on the page. Someone was making a ridiculous argument that replacing "Asian" with "Black" would make it racist. I made a comment under "Steve" on the second page somewhere.

I was thinking of posting a comment as well, but then I got really depressed about the whole thing. These motherfuckers are going to run Western Society into the ground and the majority probably agrees with them because they were once offended by something, didn't like it, and can relate.

Hey speaking of depressed motherfuckers do you guys think I should buy the 9850GX2? Or shall I buy an external hard drive?

Ghandi · « **Reply #11 on:** Thursday, February 21, 2008, 12:32:52 AM »

How completely relevant and on topic.

I would say the hard drive just because it seems like you buy a new vid card every week.

Pugnate · « **Reply #12 on:** Thursday, February 21, 2008, 12:47:16 AM »

OK I think I will take a pony ride instead!

Holy shit, they're one and the same. Just like Chams and whoever was pretending to be Chams.

That was that guy's name right?

Goldendarko?

gpw11 · « **Reply #15 on:** Thursday, February 21, 2008, 12:53:55 AM »

ahahahhahahaha

Pugnate · « **Reply #16 on:** Thursday, February 21, 2008, 01:02:05 AM »

I wonder if D is actually Goldendarko.

THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHAT THE D STANDS FOR!

Ghandi · « **Reply #17 on:** Thursday, February 21, 2008, 01:10:25 AM »

I wish that we could get a transcript of some old Goldendarko threads. Think of the endless amusement.

I wonder if that gamers.com board is still around.
