Liberals, STFU about the police

I'm not a big cop supporter. I think they get off way too much, and have far too much power. But I'm really sick of hearing liberals complain about them.
The police are the liberals best friend. Without them the society they want couldn't exist.
Who enforces motorcycle helmet laws?
The police.
Who enforces no smoking in bars regulations? 
The police?
Who enforces seatbelt laws?
The police.
Who enforces gun laws, and who would confiscate firearms if the liberal dream of a gun ban ever came to pass?
That's right, once again, the police.
Social programs cost money, which taxes pay for. If some scofflaw doesn't pay up, police show up to shake the money out of him.
Lets imagine if there were no cops. Are nannystater's going to walk up to a hells angel and tell him to put on a helmet? 
How many would walk in to a dive bar full of rowdies and tell the patrons to put out their cigarettes.
Any volunteers to walk up to gun owners saying "I hate the 2nd amendment, give me your guns"?

No, you don't really hate, or even dislike the police. You just dislike them when they interfere when you are doing things YOU like. 
Getting hassled for smoking a joint, it's "FUCK OFF PIGS"!!
Cops shutting down your demonstration, it's "OPRESSION, OPRESSION, stop violating my RIGHTS!!!" 
You have no problem with cops putting down the jackboot, as long as it's stepping on people who are doing things you don't like.
So next time a cop pulls a club out STFU, stop whining like a pussy, and take your beating like a man.

This juvenile delinquent had the AUDACITY to bring a plastic butter knife to school. Good thing alert school officials made everyone safe by suspending this West Side Story wannabe.

You guys SUCK!


I don't hate UI designers. I loathe them.

Why do UI people think that the more clicks it takes to do the same tasks, the better!?
Take a look at the wonder that is windows 8. Before you booted in to the desktop and there was a start button that was a one click shortcut to all your programs. Not only did they get rid of the start button, they added a junky looking "metro" screen which is a shortcut to a bunch of dos like phone apps that don't even run in a window, so of course I never use any of them. So you click past that to get to a desktop with no start button. Oh wait, after much complaining they put that back. Well not really, because the new, useless start button just toggles between the metro and desktop, the asshole UI shitheads left out its most useful feature, the shortcuts! Well fuck you very much DOUCHBAGS!!

Then you have the wifi for retards interface, which gives you no details at all. Yeah, maybe I WOULD like to have more info than a signal strength bar.
Want to create a wifi hotspot on your win 8 computer? I really can't complain about the UI, because there isn't one. That's right, the shitheads removed the perfectly good one that came with win 7. It can still be done, but you have to use the command line. Why?

WTF is it with logins? Years ago when you went to a page requiring login there were username and password fields right there. Now you have to click a drop down first just to log in or log out.
Google is the crown king of suck UI. Every "improvement" they have made makes for a shittier user experience than the last. If you want to log in to gmail you enter your user name, then have to click a button to get to the password field? Of what FUCKING use is this? Having both fields there and just clicking a button once rather than twice made more sense, but then again if you are a UI asshole, you can never have enough mouse clicks for simple tasks.

"Load more" is another UI suckfest. Instead of just having page numbers at the bottom of the screen, the UI assholes replaced that with a "load more" button. Now in the case of youtube, you have to click that multiple times on a page with a lot of videos. Then if you click on a video, go to it, then go back, you wind up at the start page and have to re-click the shitty load more button however many times you did before to get to where you were.

Web design, the incredible disappearing font. So, you used internet explorer to design your web site, and tested it at one resolution! Great job Tardly! Your shit page doesn't look right on other browsers or resolutions, but hey, you got it done on time and on budget! Good dog.

EVERYTHING is about look, NOTHING about functionality, that's the UI shithead credo.

Modern feminism, women's rights?

I've been thinking about modern feminism, and I don't like it. I don't like it because its viewpoint is myopic, opinions all have to pass left wing, politically correct talking points muster.
Modern feminists will complain about men at the workplace who stare too long at women's breasts, but say absolutely NOTHING about the misogynistic and hate filled practices of Islam. You will NEVER hear them point out that in a sharia law court, a woman's testimony is considered to be less than a mans. They are silent about genital mutilation preformed on women in some Islamic countries. Honor killings of women? Not a peep said!

Modern feminism puts political correctness above the lives and welfare of millions of women world wide.
Lets take another issue, gun control. Again, this is a left wing agenda which does NOT benefit women in the LEAST, in fact it is harmful to them.
Men are generally stronger than women, and can bull them down one on one. It has been shown time and time again, men do not need a gun to bring grievous harm to women. India has strict gun laws, yet rape is rampant there. What gun control does do is protect male abusers. An abuser can be shot down by a determined woman, his strength counts for little after he gets riddled with bullets. Yet modern feminists want to deny women the best tool for self defense available to them.

There is nothing wrong with equal pay for equal work, the right to an abortion without being mobbed by religious assholes, and to expect a civil work environment.
But it's not enough. I wish more women would take a hard look at modern feminism and say, "yes, I agree with the rights they are pushing for, but I WANT MORE!" I would really like to see woman push for ALL their rights, not just the rights the democrat party finds acceptable, and when it comes to Islam, stand up and smell the abuse.

Cameras - DSLRs vs Mirrorless

Are DSLRs going the way of the film camera? After reading this article, not yet.

Pro photographers are not going to put up with the smaller sensor a lot of the mirrorless cameras have. Some of the mirrorless cameras now have full size sensors so that issue has been addressed.

The lens mounts are different, and being a new product, the lens selection is way less than for DSLR's. I think a manufacturer who put out a camera that mounted Canon or Nikon standard lenses with a full size sensor would sell a lot of units.
From wikipedia.
"For manufacturers, this strategy eliminates price competition for their new lenses from second-hand legacy lenses."
Yeah DICKHEADS, it also causes a LOT of people NOT to buy one who would have because they don't like the limited lens selection and don't want to re-buy lenses they already have. Typical corporate greedhead mentality.

A number of mirrorless cameras have no viewfinder. I would NEVER pay $$$$ for a camera with no view finder as those work better in low light AND sometimes are better for framing shots. I don't always want to take pictures with the camera held away from me.
Some of the mirrorless cameras have an evf (electronic viewfinder). Those are OK, WAY better than no viewfinder, but having used both I would actually rather have the offset optical viewfinder that some point and shoots and non slr film cameras had. Not quite as accurate, but better than low light. That's what my canon point and shoot has and I've never had any issues with it. If I need more accuracy for close ups, I can use the lcd screen on it's back. Best of both worlds IMHO. Most of the pro's would probably rather have the evf though, as it shows exactly what the lens is seeing.

I think the biggest issue is the lens incompatibility with same make DSLR's, combined with limited lens choice. That, and there is 0 cost savings, they are as much or more as DSLRs.
Sony lost a sale, because if they took standard Sony dslr lenses, I would have considered buying one as an upgrade to my camera body. If I have to buy all new lenses, then I might as well get a canon DSLR instead. Or not, and just get a better Sony DSLR body.
Looking at the negatives, it's probably going to be a while before DSLRs fade away.
