7:42 Nikki Loehr i guess, if at all, it is because those aren't real words and if anything, it's making fun of chinese languages, as well as chinese names it simply showcases western ignorance of eastern culture 7:45 Duncan Stanley GOON but the cat is cute so how can it be racist? 7:47 Nikki Loehr the cat is cute the words are ignorant 7:47 Duncan Stanley GOON therefore, not racist 7:47 Nikki Loehr eh 7:47 Duncan Stanley GOON because how can a cat be racist? 7:47 Nikki Loehr depends on your definitions of racism and ignorance they coincide 7:47 Duncan Stanley GOON well, I think for this exercise we can consider them the same could the cat be ignorant of eastern culture? possiblty 7:49 Nikki Loehr the cat came before the overlaid text 7:50 Duncan Stanley GOON well I think the picture is implying the cat is saying those words I think the cat saying those words implies that it wasn't raised well but that it doesn't actually hate chinese people i think that's the takeaway from that picture 7:55 Nikki Loehr lol thx evilevilcouch@gmail.com: oh, duncan evilevilcouch@gmail.com: such a goony goon me: yep evilevilcouch@gmail.com: ha evilevilcouch@gmail.com: Nikki Loehr lol thx 7:57 Duncan Stanley GOON well I wouldn't want to you to think the cat was a bigot evilevilcouch@gmail.com: narfs evilevilcouch@gmail.com: i wanna cuddle with you in your bed rinnow :( evilevilcouch@gmail.com: lol it's cold here evilevilcouch@gmail.com: i don't want to work me: got a one-man mutiny me: just forwarded you the exchange me: Todd Essig, columnist for Psychology Today me: doesn't like Wikileaks me: I think I did a pretty good job of pwning him, though evilevilcouch@gmail.com: lol evilevilcouch@gmail.com: well evilevilcouch@gmail.com: after reading his first reply evilevilcouch@gmail.com: i think the best retort would have been to distinguish what exactly the publication of the specific cables released on wikileaks evilevilcouch@gmail.com: and distinguish evilevilcouch@gmail.com: the difference between all of that evilevilcouch@gmail.com: and governmental bodies evilevilcouch@gmail.com: and how it is not comparable evilevilcouch@gmail.com: to evilevilcouch@gmail.com: the HIPPA laws me: yes, I'll address that if he wants to pursue it further evilevilcouch@gmail.com: or HIPA or whatever me: which he will me: what are the HIPPA laws? me: or whatever? evilevilcouch@gmail.com: basically evilevilcouch@gmail.com: it's about patient confidentiality evilevilcouch@gmail.com: and privacy evilevilcouch@gmail.com: so evilevilcouch@gmail.com: if he is a psychologist evilevilcouch@gmail.com: or psychiatrist evilevilcouch@gmail.com: or whatever evilevilcouch@gmail.com: like evilevilcouch@gmail.com: the medical industries evilevilcouch@gmail.com: and such evilevilcouch@gmail.com: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_Insurance_Portability_and_Accountability_Act me: gotcha me: I should explain the difference between releasing government info and releasing medical info me: for one, Wikileaks doesn't do the latter and never will evilevilcouch@gmail.com: yeah me: that's something he should probably consider evilevilcouch@gmail.com: i haven't read your thing yet, again evilevilcouch@gmail.com: but from all that i've gathered from his thing evilevilcouch@gmail.com: it's mainly afraid of how privacy will evolve in society evilevilcouch@gmail.com: and how that will be handled me: that's understandable evilevilcouch@gmail.com: because privacy is very much necessary for the medical industry me: and is a reasonable concern evilevilcouch@gmail.com: so that's just the perspective he has me: I'm more concerned with how privacy has actually been handled by our governments in such a way as to kill and take away rights me: perhaps Eisler or someone will explain that position to him me: I love having Eisler on hand me: "Well, why don't you talk to our CIA guy about this issue." me: heh me: Now Charles Johnson knows that I've recruited some of his active longtime commenters me: But doesn't know which ones me: And he's going to be inclined, to put it mildly, to try to figure it out me: I'm gonna go have a beer at the ol' Quarter me: haven't been there in hours me: wonder if it's changed much?
