Comment Re:I go to a fair amount of movies (Score 1) 924

So, what, when someone has to use the bathroom do you expect them to bring a bottle (funnel optional) so that they don't distract you from the movie?

A dark figure getting up and walking out is not all that uncommon nor distracting when compared to someone yanking out their iPhone with the brightness set to 11, lighting up the entire theatre as they tap out, painstakingly slowly, a 5 word tweet about how good the popcorn is.

Comment Re:Playing the race card again (Score 1) 1078

Lumping every person of colour into one unified "black culture" is pretty damn racist. It others them, defines them as different. Then you sit around and can't figure out why the system treats them differently than white people, who are seen as the norm and the default?

You're right though, in that "black culture" in the US is different than anywhere else in the world; being black is what defines people of colour in the US. In other places, people don't tend to so blindly label people's ethics and values, their "culture," based solely on their skin colour.

Comment It really says something. (Score 2) 30

But then, this is a helpful part of the country where, if an old person falls down on the sidewalk, strangers will rush to her side, whip out cell phones in case a 911 call is needed, and help her to her feet.

The fact that this very basic behavior that I would expect any human being to do (and do regardless of the age or gender of the person who was injured) is exemplary of a "helpful" part of the country is just sort of sad. It really says something about the rest of the country, if true.
