  1. That's not what Cheong was getting at; he was trying to present it as affluent minorities stealing because they could cow people because of their race, and that only works if they "own" the cars to show they're affluent. Without that, his statement can't be about intersections of class and race, with a theme about how some races are abusing the current political climate for their personal gain. Regarding it being worse, my understanding is that auto thefts aren't particularly easy to stop individually. "Chop shop" operations may be, but taking an individual car to commit a further crime is a roll of the dice to stop.
  2. From the article, a Twitter quote: If the mobs are anonymous, how does he know they own the cars they pull up in?

    Well, Falcons fired Quinn and Dimitroff. Not really unexpected.
  4. Grandson of 10th US President, John Tyler, passes Lyon Tyler was 95.

  8. Old thread - Last few posts:
  9. I don't either. People can call me if they want me to know about family news. I *might* even pick up the phone! How ever did people get by before social media was invented...? 😛
  10. I'm not clear on how you relate nurses singing to a patient in the hospital with a nurse agreeing to a relationship (platonic or not) with a patient's significant other outside of the hospital. One carries no risk of even the appearance of impropriety.
  11. If they had such a rule, then, yes, I would expect them to enforce it. If the relationship can compromise some critical aspect of your job or your decision making process to accomplish your work, then yeah, its not just your choice.
  12. If its unethical, then its probably against the rules of his employment at the hospital. If its against the rules of the hospital, he could get fired for it. So better to offend them than get fired and potentially ruin any future in the field he has.
  13. I've seen the episode. Shatner is Shatner, regardless of who he's playing, as I recall. It was 3 seasons ago, so...
  14. With the MAKO sections, I thought it was a sequel to Moon Patrol.

    Pretty sure he left. 😛😛😛😛😛😛
  16. Neither did I. Never had an issue with the AI creating a problem for me by and large in RE5. Also, I'm not sure Lionheart's companions are bad so much as combat is broken to the point the game is almost unplayable once it becomes a combat centric game post Barcelona. Didn't mind the companions in MSAndromeda. But I liked that game more than most people, I think.

    It would be a solid solution to the problem if the university was amenable. Unfortunately, not every artwork that has a champion or champions and is willing to put money to remove and preserve a piece of artwork are allowed to do so. But if the URI alumni banded together to preserve it and the university allowed it, it'd be great.

    I certainly don't disagree the university has the right to remove the mural. I just hate to see aetwork destroyed. My elementary school had a bicentennial mural, and I as preteen hated when they painted it over. Hated that Patricia Cornwall tore up a Sickert to try and prove he was Jack the Ripper. They're all entitled to destroy them, they owned them. It'll never sit well with me, even if sometimes destruction might be necessary.

    I was challenging your assertion they were 'preserving' the work, which was your argument as why it was okay. They are not. They took a picture, which is recording its existence, not preservation. You phrased it like it was a statue being removed to a museum. It is not. Now you're arguing it okay to destroy it because you're not a fan of the work itself. That's a different argument, and taste being the measure of artistic worth for preservation is a slippery slope, imo. Note I don't object to them removing the mural, but I do bemoan the destruction of the artwork, like I do the destruction of any artwork.
  20. Amentep replied to Gorth's topic in Way Off-Topic
    Except by their own admission, their plan is to destroy the mural and use photographs of the murals to represent what they destroyed. So its not like the murals are being preserved in a museum.
  21. I was mostly going on the picture, sneeze in elbow then touch elbows...
