For any other kind of minority, that kind of thinking would be considered barbaric. -Paul
[2003-07-08 08:50:00] - paul: your comparison doesn't work. i'm pretty sure they're not banning the smokers but the actual smoking. so smokers can go in and just not smoke. -kris

Their reasoning was that this particular minority (smokers) only constitute 20% of the population so it's perfectly ok to ban them from bars. I'm saying you could use that same argument for minorities and it wouldn't sound as peachy. -Paul
[2003-07-07 20:11:00] - paul: re: "20% of residents are that minority" . . . you'd probably be hard pressed to find a majority of the people that felt that minority should be banned from your restaurant, because that's what the parallel argument is; not that 20% of the residents are that minority. ~a

[2003-07-03 02:03:00] - I don't really care one way or the other... I was just pointing out the misunderstanding -Cryptic
[2003-07-03 02:02:00] - it was the second figure that brought in the discrepancy in character (it was merely reporting the overall average, and noting the reason it was mroe than 10% was that in general the female characters were not as developed) -Cryptic
[2003-07-03 02:00:00] - the same character would be worth ~10% less if it were female as opposed to male. -Cryptic
[2003-07-03 01:59:00] - "Holding all other characteristics equal, it turns out female avatars sell for about 10 per cent less than male avatars,"
[2003-07-03 01:02:00] - paul: really? i know wnd loves putting "gay rights" in quotatations, but i've yet to use 'gay' in quotations by itself. what was the context? - mig

[2003-07-02 08:32:00] - a: You're missing the point. The key is that women aren't getting the same money as men. Who cares if there is a reason for it. We're only interested in the fact that our male-dominated society is screwing over women yet again. Sarcasm off. -Paul
[2003-07-01 18:31:00] - wait wait wait. the "lower skilled female ones" went for less? isn't that to be expected?! i think it would only be news if the equally skilled females ones went for less? right? ~a

[2003-06-23 14:11:00] - paul: are you accusing me of being accusatory? ~a
[2003-06-23 10:30:00] - it's sexual in nature (as aaron said). which means that its not appropriate for school. -kris
[2003-06-23 00:23:00] - was/is
[2003-06-23 00:23:00] - Just a clarification: she was 14 -Cryptic
[2003-06-22 22:53:00] - a: Well, I was thinking mostly of Cryptic, but your questions seem rather accusatory as well.
-Paul[2003-06-22 22:46:00] - i think the punishment should fit the crime. ~a
[2003-06-22 22:34:00] - who's jumping on krissy? ~a
[2003-06-22 22:16:00] - On the other hand, I think punishing a student for wearing rainbow beads seems really silly..... at least, unless there's some kind of context behind them - aaron
[2003-06-22 22:14:00] - I agree with kris actually.... I think the shirt is sexual in nature and would not be appropriate within that age group. When I was 12 I don't even think I knew what a lesbian was. - aaron
[2003-06-22 21:59:00] - And for the record, I don't understand why everyone seems to be jumping on Krissy for her remark. I couldn't imagine letting my daughter go to school wearing a shirt like that either. What wrong with being selective about what you let children wear? -Paul
[2003-06-22 21:55:00] - I doubt that any school administrator would EVER try to compile a list of clothing that is deemed inappropriate for school because it's simply too difficult to do. I agree with Vinnie, I consider most dress codes to general things like "don't wear anything not appropriate". -Paul
[2003-06-22 15:19:00] - "offensive" of course, being the school's idea of offensive, whatever that is - vinnie
[2003-06-22 15:17:00] - I thought most dress codes don't have a case-by-case listing of what is allowed but rather a general "a shirt is considered inappropriate if it could be deemed offensive or likely to disrupt normal operation" - vinnie
[2003-06-22 13:25:00] - kris: to which part of the spirit of (most) school dress codes are you referring? ~a
[2003-06-22 11:20:00] - (I looked this morning, and couldn't find one that I would agree would disallow that shirt) -cryptic
[2003-06-22 11:20:00] - Could you give some example links of where wearing that particular shirt directly conflicts with school dress codes? -Cryptic
[2003-06-22 10:33:00] - cryptic: i'm not anti-gay -kris
[2003-06-22 10:32:00] - a: i don't think it's within the spirit or letter of (most) school dress codes. -kris

[2003-06-22 00:40:00] - -a
[2003-06-22 00:40:00] - would you "let" your child be a lesian? -Cryptic
[2003-06-21 23:29:00] - kris: how do you decide what is appropriate for school? ~a
[2003-06-21 22:49:00] - a: i just don't htink it's appropriate for school. i don't have a problem with it outside of school. -kris
[2003-06-21 14:47:00] - kris: what's wrong with it? ~a
[2003-06-21 14:08:00] - i can't imagine letting my child go to school with a "barbie is a lesbian" shirt on. -kris

[2003-06-20 20:02:00] - firewire!
[2003-06-20 19:04:00] - the change does not benefit end users, but rather retail/resellers... since they get to call OLD CRAPPY USB1.1... USB2... -cryptic
[2003-06-20 19:03:00] - that was the whole point of the article you posted, and thus I see no "good idea" at all -cryptic
[2003-06-20 19:03:00] - I think the idea of calling usb 1.1, usb 2 full speed.... and calling usb 2, usb 2 high speed..... is retarded -cryptic
[2003-06-20 19:02:00] - it was funny
[2003-06-20 15:01:00] - the humor was lost on me. ~a
[2003-06-20 10:46:00] - a: It was a joke because they don't call it USB 1.1 anymore, they call it USB 2. -Paul
[2003-06-20 02:13:00] - i guess i don't understand your question. ~a
[2003-06-20 02:12:00] - USB 1.1 is what you and most everybody still has. ~a
[2003-06-19 23:57:00] - a: USB 1.1? What is this? I only know USB 2
-paul[2003-06-19 23:47:00] - usb is a great concept. it is easy to use and very cheap. usb 1.1 is getting kind of slow for today's standards, but the new usb standard is super fast. ~a
[2003-06-19 22:27:00] - where's the "good idea" in that?
