schmacky commented on Cap Hill Is Becoming a Little Like What?.

"Bellevue" is a big place. Are we talking about downtown Bellevue (a giant, unwalkable hellscape full of white people) or the surrounding area of Bellevue (parks, diversity, semi-interesting village-type places like Crossroads)?

@7, your post is so riddled with typos I can't make sense of it but if you care to try again, I'll listen.

This thread, though still short, is nourishing. ;)

All I know is there's no way--assuming this actually happened and wasn't just a fantasy she made up on the fly--that it stopped at a through-the-shorts handy. No way.

Agreed on all points. We are moving toward a world where every league will have two kinds of teams: ones that are in a top 5 media market, or ones from smaller towns that are willing to be mercilessly extorted out of a misguided sense of civic pride.

schmacky commented on The Full Text of David Guterson's Controversial Commencement Speech.

I find this speech to be entirely too dismissive of the world around us. It essentially says happiness cannot be achieved externally, only internally. I submit it's a mixture of both. But regardless of my own thoughts about the merits of his mini-treatise, it's a profoundly misguided way to try and communicate with young people who, for the most part, are decades away from developing the perspective necessary to hear and understand what he's saying here.

What I want to know is what the fuck is wrong with Russia, staying in bed with the obviously corrupt assholes running Syria right now? The fucking cold war is over. Why continue to align yourselves with the possibly criminal, certainly despicable al-Assad? Just once I'd like to see Russia actually be on the right side (not necessarily our side, mind you).

schmacky commented on In Defense of David Guterson.

The Times article wasn't gloomy at all, Dom. It actually spends most of its words defending the guy and making the disruptive group seem like a misguided minority.

As others are saying, I think it would be a good idea to see a transcript of the speech before passing judgment like this...one of the unregistered commenters in Mudede's original post claims they were at the speech, and their description made it sound pretty inappropriate to me.

schmacky commented on Olive Way Starbucks Vandalized.

I think the stupidity of the vandals has been well confirmed simply by the act itself, no? Or are we to be treated to another screed from a profoundly misguided Slogger, equating pointless and utterly counterproductive vandalism with a grand uprising of the people against our corporate oppressors?
