I was confused until I realized that he got the order (and colors) all wrong. The editor of any newspaper that prints this should be fired for letting this travesty get past.

Fyi, Tinsley does the "Asians and college requirements" arc every year without fail.

Didn't we get 3 weeks of "College is for stupids!" from Tinsley two weeks after graduation time? Why does he even care about college requirements!?

Goddammit Muir! No one talks like this! Your characters are greedy entitled condescending shits that deserve to die in a fire!

I don't think that's Gruber. I think that's Glenn Beck trying to besmirch Gruber's good name by wearing a name tag.

Basically we need to resurrect LBJ. For a practical answer, do what San Antonio does and have a police force that accurately reflects the city's demographics:

Whites are a little bit over-represented, but compared to almost everywhere else (and especially Ferguson) San Antonio's police force is basically dead-on for comparable demographics.

Honest question: Is there evidence that having the police force's demographics reflecting the community's demographic is correlated to reduced incidence of police brutality/murder, racial motivated or otherwise? I'm actually really interested in knowing if there have been any studies on this.

This thread has finally broken me. I had a good moment of head grabbing and arm flailing after wading through this 'comic', and now I fear for my life as my sanity is gone. It wasn't even a textbook Muir!

I was, at least, surprised to see Ferguson wasn't mentioned. :smith:

You're not alone. Just pretend this is what the comic actually said:

I feel like there's a more simple explanation than that.

Muir is speaking his mind and let's be honest, his is a terrible one. I think the majority of us are disgusted because it's no longer subtext and the fact that he has his own little echo chamber means that this is a viewpoint some people have, and he's reached the point that their agreement with his views is no longer implicit but explicit the more open he is with his beliefs. In the long run, though, this is just another deck chair on the beached, rotting vessel that is the SS Muir.

This and, to me at least, he uses Photoshop to warp reality to spew this garbage. For that last strip he literally took an image of a police officer in full riot gear (a thing he's been openly against), blurred until the cows came home, and then claimed that this was a black man. It's willful deception for the purpose of scoring political points to perpetuate a status quo that is killing people for no reason except the color of their skin. Not once did he stop and think: "Hey, maybe I should actually get a picture of a black man for this. That would at least carry my point forward." Muir must think that he's so good at doing what he's doing that no one know's that he's just throwing a filter on a the first result from gis.

Or simply: I like Photoshop; Muir uses Photoshop for evil; :argh:

I think Rorus Raz has posted Adam4d before in his editions of Sunday School, but since this showed up on facebook for me, I felt obligated to post it since I felt like it's directed at people like me:

So all I'm getting out of this is that this dude's just upset that modern American mainstream Christianity doesn't fit his particular expectations, but he REALLY wants to claim a monopoly on the label "Christian" for his specific brand of worship. So instead of just getting over it like an adult or founding his own sect, he's trying to convince people to either follow his exact tract or adopt this label some sociologists coined.

Theology: it's all about the name!

When Charles Dickens was writing "A Christmas Carol" he originally named the main character Tinsley after our good friend, Bruce, here. However, realizing that in the end the main character would be redeemed and come to know the true Spirit of Christmas he opted for a different name, lest his story not be taken seriously due to the association.

I was waiting for this obvious joke to be made by a cartoonist featured here, I didn't expect it to be Bennett. Clay, you're better than this.
