I’m sooooo with you on the movie trailers thing. Can’t stand spoilers of any sort. (Oddly enough, I kind of even do this with book jacket descriptions. If the first couple sentences interest me enough in the book, I won’t read any farther, lest I spoil some surprise.)

I noticed the other day that my cable provider has a “movie trailers on-demand” channel. It made me cringe to know that was out there.

Do you all understand that there’s a big difference between:

1. Gang of skinheads breaking the window of a Jewish owened store and spraypainting Nazi-graffitti with “Jews out or die.”

2. Couple of sixth graders are horsing around and break a store window on a dare. Since they were not caught immediately, they spraypaint their initials on the wall and run like hell.

Totally different intent and levels of harm to the community.

It would be funny if Borat kicked James Dobson in the shin.

I do the hiccup thing too. I’ve gotten good at continuing to drink even as the hiccup occurs, without introducing liquid into my sinuses or spittaking. Probably results in a little backwash, but in the grand scheme of things I think it’s not a problem.

Without getting involved in the debate: I liked that, as a man, you kicked another in the shin.

It’s an entertaining scene to envision…

So if hate crime is thought crime, do we apologize to Germany for the Nuremburg Trials?

And does the DC Holocaust Museum reflect a deluded liberal ethos of affirming hate crime legislation?

Say you’re a Kurd: Did Saddam commit a hate crime when he gassed your village?

If I advocate the beheading of Jar Jar Binks, is that a hate crime against that idiotic character in Star Wars: Episode I?

What kind of hate crime am I committing when I play Grand Theft Auto?

A hate crime doesn’t just target the individual, but the group they are a member of.

I don’t think “because I’m a woman” is a good example. Men, after all, need women to continue the species (and most of them prefer women for sex), so it’s just not the same kind of thing as a hate crime against jews, or blacks, or Christians, or such.

I can’t help thinking… a hate crime is terrorism without the politics.
