Daily Kos is not a "news outlet". It's a partisan blog.
Well it started out that way, but clearly it has fallen in stature to the point where it can now be compared to FoxNews in terms of reliability and integrity!
FTFY.
With my consumer-grade camera I can take a close-up portrait of someone from rather further away than that.
So can I. Particularly if they leave their shades up.
Just saying.
Yes, well spotted. That's what I was implying.
That's odd, none of the official documents say anything about photographers. The poster even fits in a quote mentioning photographers explicitly, and words it so that if you're not paying attention it implies that it's an official quote. This is sensationalist journalism at its best. Why are photographers trying to get that close anyway? With my consumer-grade camera I can take a close-up portrait of someone from rather further away than that.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
I personally think you were right to lash out. The GP was spouting hateful anti-male crap which will influence the young developing minds s/he's teaching to think that men can never be good and civil, and all girls are angels who only fall if men cause them to.
It's telling the boys that they can't escape the baseness of their gender, and it's telling girls to never trust a boy (but always blame them!) It's a skewed view of life, it's fucking up children, and it's exactly what the catholic church did to me (I'm not bitter at all).
Sure, biology plays a part, and men tend to be more casual about sex and girls more picky (some will disagree). But
No man is an island if he's on at least one mailing list.
