Ah, you guys! Lighen up on the Khan thing. It's fun! Look, I was disappointed in a lot of things about Into Darkness, but I like having Khan as the villian. Khan was the villian in the second movie of the original film series, now he's the villian of the second movie in the reboot. It was the meta wink among the Wrath of Khan / Into Darkness parallels, the most overt and enjoyable being Kirk and Spock's full role reversal with the saving the ship, radiation death thing (even with the dialogue). The Khan character and Wrath of Khan elements were the only parts I really liked about this movie.

@20. Bears are predators and a different species who see us as lower animals on the food chain. Police are not supposed to be bears. They are supposed to be fellow citizens protecting the citizenry and defending the laws and constitution.
The philosophy behind your simplistic bear analogy is the problem behind all police abuse and brutality.

@14 is right. The kid's dumb, but it requires the position of power and the abuse of said power to be an asshole.
It is perfectly within the right of every citizen to record in public and record the police. And you have to be actually under arrest before you can resist arrest (they tackeled him before he had broken any laws or was told he was being arrested). Which all means Fnarf is officially full of shit and can suck it.

I never thought I would agree with Charles on something re: architecture. but here we are.
Gehry is a nightmare and a travesty.

This is hideous. There is no humanity in this. It's isolating and without warth, personality, invitation.
Charles has horrible taste. Absolutely horrible.

@19/44 aka Charles. You are so insincere. First off, I'll echo what others say, that if someone makes a life commitment, they should stick to it, and the fact that you meet a younger, more fit woman late in life isn't a free pass for treating your spouse like shit.
Secondly, despite your claims in the comments you are NOT simply asking us to look at what the General was thinking. You are asking us to amaze at the wife's sock--she should have known by looking in the mirror! From the post itself: "But one wonders why she is so surprised by the affair."
That is a shitty, cruel statement.
Charles, let's hope your wife doesn't have the same morals as the General, cause in your pictures you look short, overweight, shabbily dressed, and rather homely. You better get to the gym or you'll have no one to blame but yourself.

@3, You are wrong. Well, about the first part anyway. We do not all love Charles. Because Charles occasionally says horribly offensive, misogynistic, thoughtless things that he tries to explain away by "being human". Perhaps he also relies on the Glenn Beck defense of "hey, I'm just being honest here; you're all thinkin' it."
Charles, you can be a real ignorant pig sometimes. This post is no different than the Seattle Times column by the Mars Hill pastor who said if a husband cheats, it's the wife's fault for not pleasing him and keeping him interested. And he got fired by the Times for that column.
Does anyone remember if The Stranger agreed or disagreed with the Seattle Times' action on that one? Any reason to hope Charles will finally be fired?

I think you meant to type the word "breathe" not "breath", which is a noun and not the verb.
clearly the intellectual powerhouse of The Stranger and all of Seattle.
