Re: “Is Anne Frank's Diary pornography?”
Sexuality in this country has been deliberately oppressed because it helps create a market for such material without ever really addressing the reason there is so much gender bias in America. Pornographic materials is almost entirely oriented toward male gratification and it has only been in the past few decades the potentials for female enjoyment of sexuality have come to the fore, much less the mechanics of attainment. Very few men are aware of the female anatomy, or are willing to spend the time learning and applying the techniques which will help a women reach and sustain the levels of intense pleasure their bodies are capable of, and which are so important to a healthy relationship. In Anne's day, she would have been like most women today, waiting for the fireworks that had already happened. Just not for her.
Re: “The problem with for-profit hospitals”
If only our health system was as for-profit, unregulated, and relatively free and unencumbered as the home repair industry, healthcare would be abundant and inexpensive, just like home repairs.
Re: “The problem with for-profit hospitals”
The profit motive also provides motivation for better quality in a competitive environment. Government subsidized Non-profit hospitals and government run hospitals sometimes function at a bare minimum level of quality because they can.
If hospitals and doctors who seek to make money by providing care bother you, make a mental note to avoid them in the future. If enough people did that they might lower their fees or just go out of business.
Re: “School of the Arts tweet exposes Charleston County Schools' hypocrisy”
That many blacks hate white and multiracial people is not difficult to understand. The cultural bias against blacks is palpable and the program of biological and psychological gentrification only makes them more desperate to avoid becoming victims of the ethnic cleansing objectives of the elite upper class. They are still put down daily due to the color of their skin. One initiative that might help at a grass roots level is if white people would find some way to compliment a minority every day for a job well done; a service rendered; or even on the way they look. And it wouldn't hurt to give them a hug and apologize for the way their ancestors were treated and for the complete disruption of their family and traditions during slavery. Schools need to help blacks appreciate the contributions their people made to society; the wealth they help generate; and the buildings they helped build. And yes it would be nice to offer them land and a new start in Alaska or some other state where they are accepted and treated like human beings should be. Even offer to relocate them back to their country of origin. Blacks in the USA are not even allowed to have feelings. You never hear of them being convicted of a hate crime. But many have ample reason to hate. Integration may have been the worst thing that could have happen to Afro-Americans from a cultural standpoint. Perhaps they would be better off with their own schools, just as they are with their own churches. In the meantime, white students in predominantly black schools are just going to have to bite the bullet because there is a dual standard when it comes to what passes for racism. Better get a small digital recorder if you want to begin to prove anything that would promote affirmative action to obviate this social disease.

Re: “School of the Arts tweet exposes Charleston County Schools' hypocrisy”
So, the school system paid a hefty court fine for ignoring racial threats, and now you're lambasting them for going after racial threats... not only that but ones with a written, physical evidence record? Fascinating. Beyond that, though, if there's merit to the pending claims, as there certainly was in the Kandrac case, I hope that the penalties are severe enough to root out the problems.
Re: “Is Anne Frank's Diary pornography?”
No, it isn't pornography. Disturbing that some few should think so.
Re: “Beer yoga, an Avondale house show, and coffee shopping”
The murals at Holy City Brewing are the work of Sean Williams, a local artist and all-around great dude. Check out his other murals in Avondale (behind Avondale Wine & Cheese) and Park Circle (EVO)
Re: “Columnist Erin Perkins goes to boogie at Republic Reign”
Another bar with a DJ. So original. Does anyone know when Coyote Ugly or Bar Louie is going to come to town and open shop on Upper King?
Re: “Film Rebate Bill signed into law”
"A lot of these actors are pretending to be something they are not."
No shit. That's how it works.
Re: “Film Rebate Bill signed into law”
A lot of these actors are pretending to be something they are not. Oh, that goes for politicians too. Guess I should have lied more. If I had I might be President. At least a Senator. Why do these idiots expect citizens to obey the law when they don't?
Re: “Swank Sinatra defends Psy, calls Billie Joe Armstong the 'HIV of music'”
I'm gonna go ahead and not make it to this gig.
Re: “Modern Man explores the outer limits of noise rock”
Interesting until the Morrissey on quaaludes vocals kicked in.
Also, that's not "noise". Not even close.

Go ahead. Try this.

Boy, I bet if those guys were any good someone might give enough of a shit to put them into NME's list of snarkiest popstar quotes.

Is there a conservative troll in the world that can spell? Even one?
