Interesting how the embedded quote changed between those two posts.
If you end on one that you didn’t end on before, sure.
Are you implying that a right-wing ideologue might take something Obama or, say, Clinton said, cut it short to remove it from context and use the truncated version to imply that it means something completely different? Because that has never happened before.
<cough>you didn’t build that<cough>
<cough>what difference does it make<cough>
I’m not implying that one might, I’m stating outright that he did.
It does. Period. As long as you ignore the sentence after that first period.
It’s not interesting. It’s Clothahump.
So has the UK grooming and rape clusterfuck been mentioned? The latest news:
Police knew grooming gangs were targeting Birmingham schools five years ago but did not alert public
- let’s thrown the girls to the wolves for fear of transgressing against PC and provoking community tension. There’s a plan.
I get that you’re too stupid to think for yourself, but you just showed that you’re bereft of integrity as well.
That’s truly a terrible story, but the “fear of transgressing against PC” is once again a right-wing fantasy. More like “fear of reactionary idiots attacking innocent Pakistanis in reaction to this story, making things worse”, as indeed they did in the wake of the Lee Rigby murder.
Which is not in any way to excuse the inaction of the police, but it’s got fuck-all to do with political correctness.
Okay, I had to check multiple sites to make sure this wasn’t satire. Looks like it’s true: Apple pulls all games with Confederate flags from their App Store.
I can’t check that link at work, but that may or may not be stupid, depending on a few factors. While there are plenty of main stream games with Nazi symbols in them, they are always the bad guys. And I don’t know if any of them are available from Apple. If Apple is going to model their rules about Confederate symbolism after their rules about Nazi symbolism, that would make sense. And if they pulled everything off until they review them that would also make sense.
But … I want an app where I can shoot at confederate flag targets! Surely they wouldn’t pull THOSE!
It’s not like it’s an emergency. They should have only pulled the ones which failed to pass review, not pulled everything and only put back in the ones that pass. Very often app developers are barely scraping by. Those who used the flag appropriately shouldn’t be punished.
Pass? You think they’ve developed actual criteria for a test? I’m confident the test is “Visible Confederate flag?” Yes – fail, No – pass.
FYI, I see the Google Store still has stuff in it like Confederate flag wallpaper.
No more Dixie flag bikinis?
This is an outrage!!
It depends where you are when you take it off.
Agreed! I demand the bikinis be removed NOW!
*Now *I wish I was in the land of cotton.
