If my last visit to New York was any indication they get plenty of rain.

This is simply a defective weapon. It should not be possible to accidentally discharge a firearm in this fashion. A properly designed weapon would only fire when the wielder intended it to. Gun owners should be the first to demand well designed weapons, but they are too scared of the "slippery slope" to even think about it.

It's hard for me to think of anything else in my home that is anywhere close to as dangerous and this badly designed. A circular saw or drill generally has a safety which prevents it from spinning unintentionally. Cars require multiple steps to be taken before they accelerate. Even my dishwasher has a child lockout so it can't be accidentally started.

I think he's overcompensating for something.

I'm male and have been harassed on Capitol Hill a couple times. The worst was this skanky guy that said something like "hey honey" to me. I smiled and kept going. He then proceeded to yell insults back at me for an entire block about how I was a faggot who thought I was too good to talk to him, but I'd find out I wasn't all that. Lots of profanity. It was embarrassing. And this was Harvard Street during full daylight.

Anyway, harassment sucks.

Isn't it selfish for the prosecutor to go after one shoplifter when there are others that escape prosecution. I mean, hey, he's just one guy who was so unlucky as to be caught. Why pick on him?

Would anything ve more sad than a religion which actually required its followers to be hateful, homophobic bigots? Jesus is rolling over in his grave.

fletc3her commented on Tonight in Seattle: Not One But TWO Opening-Night Galas!.

Last year I went to most of the SIFF galas including opening night, closing night, and several throughout the month. I think the whole experience turned me off SIFF in general. I often had to choose between attending a gala and seeing a movie I wanted to see. The galas had food and drinks, but the lines for drinks were long and the food was handled so badly that there'd be a crowd waiting around a table so they could get something off each tray as it came in. It seemed at times like they planned a party for a couple hundred, but sold a thousand tickets.

On top of all that this year's film is so underwhelming. I'd love to see a Q&A with Joss, but I don't think sitting through his vanity project is worth it.

I've seen some great films at SIFF in years pass and I'm sure I'll attend a couple this year, but it gets a little depressing when a movie I'm really excited about draws a quarter full theater while a movie with a start in attendance is packed. It means SIFF is more about celebrity than film.
