The title and picture on the essential box is incorrect, anyway. I believe it should be the "Givs me dat!" version with a picture of the scamps, box in hand, exiting the store without paying.

How about this - you'd have to be dumb as shit to steal the essential version and risk jail for personal use, or pay a single dime to use the advanced version REGARDLESS OF RACE, when there are better programs available FOR FREE... (and at least one of the free providers isn't an active NSA collaborator like MicroShitty)

I don't know if the pic up top is "racist" but I'm pretty sure Abe Foxman is.  But if you're going to be racist, you really want to be a minority, since some Ivy League sociologist will explain to a jury that you "can't be racist" even if you're only sucker punching white people, or only charging non-Jews more for the same product or service.

Why, I've seen photos of a Jewish feller in Brooklyn what took a naked baby -  a baby mind you, and cut off absolutely healthy, sensate tissue on the little guy's phallus without even asking his permission.  Then, he put his mouth on the little guy's bleeding penis and sucked the blood.

 

Yet when I do it, it's a fuckin' 5-9 year hitch.  How the fuck is that equal justice? 

 

I REPRESENT GOD, YOU FUCKS!

RACIST is a term coined by Leon Trotsky. It was designed to place individuals in a defensive posture, stifle debate and obscure truth. I'm innured to the description and the children who wield it. Feel free to call me anything you like... other than SHEEPLE.

"Conspicuous lack of White Males; but it's discrimination to address the injustice of discrimination."

They're the poor sales donkeys who actually use the product and pay for it.   This is about expanding market presence, or at least legal sales.   There may even be a corporate citizen award in this from the NAACP or Chinese communist party.   Win-win.

While the ones on the right are saying "Calculations clearly show that the rooftop security fences must be at least 2.7 meters high to minimize employee suicides while simulateously minimizing costs.  And hey, by the way, did you try those Kitten McNuggets in the cafeteria today?"

(I'm not sure what the ones in the middle are saying, but I doubt that any of their parents would approve of it.)

Hey, I've an idea!

A Modest 'Kak Proposal:

Maybe you can revive your 'utopia' by reneging on any treaties yet standing (just like the good ol days), stealing whatever scraps of wealth they might have left, and harvesting any survivors as material for a 'whelp hide' factory a la Ol' Sharp Knife! Of course I know you don't actually require any resources for such an endeavour, because you have the alchemic wonder of neoliberalism on you side, but it might help to cover that plugged nickel you feel you've lost out on. Not to mention the tears of self satisfied joy you could bawl over doing your part to bring manufacturing back to the US!

First pic shows LEARN: two people with base IQ below the commoner. The all identifier. The I can beat him. In study to be a future scientist or technician.

Second is TRANSFORM: two people, one is the commoner, the browning, the diversity. He is new, and he just landed his first job as a scientist or technician. The other an ugly white chick, cuz that's the best they're gonna do, she is he pre-transformation.

Third pic is SUCCEED: two people, both brown, diversity becomes one, he a scientist she a technician, you aren't as smart as they are, you only yearn... both commanding machines that make plastic bottles sent out like time capsules to shorelines.

I have a great new laptop that came with Win 8.1 Pro on it...can't stand it.  I'm currently "test driving" Linux Mint 16 on it from a USB stick to see if I like it or not.  So far I do like the Linux Mint o/s.  Ubuntu really sucked bad.

Once I get comfortable with the Linux o/s I'll most likely scrap the Win 8.1, wipe the hard drive and load Linux onto it full time.  Taking it slow though so I don't hose anything up! lol

Windows 8 is one of the worst piece of shit operating systems I've ever seen. It doesn't matter if it's on a laptop, desktop, or tablet, it's absolute garbage.

monad's picture

Windows 8 is shit. So is everything Microsoft has peddled for at least a decade. That said, I spent 2 years looking at Windows 8. It does meet it purposes. These are:

1. It gets Microsoft Windows programs on mobile devices, a market MS has missed to date.

2. It can be programmed by any dummy who can use a spreadsheet. Balmer's stated goal since 2003 is to eliminate 3rd party developers. The next release will complete this.

3. It spies on users. This is a desirable feature in the emerging markets on which Sauron has his eye, where the State will be purchasing all the software for their poor socialist serfs. It is a must have features for in-name-only-"school" brainwashing of children, everywhere. So the socialist overlords of the West will be buying this as well and demanding these features like their openly despotic counterparts. If the serfs whine enough they can back off and slip it in later.

As demonstrated by every single MS OS release being busted since DOS, MS couldn't give a rats ass if its junk. All this technology isn't for you, they just rally your money to fund the end game. The NWO depends on it.

My mom, my sisters, and the rest of family have been using it on their laptops for several years and I haven't heard any complaints. Honestly, I got a new laptop recently with pre-installed Win8 for initial setup and I was astonished how stupid and fucked up the user experience and configuration is.

Just an advice: keep a partition with plain windows xp or 7 installed on a separate partition, you never know when you will need it, mostly due to missing linux drivers for some devices.

This has been going on for years now in all forms of advertising.  It's always bothered me.  You'll see this in magazine ads, for example.  They have to get one from each race into the photo, all crowded around a terminal, or some black gal standing over a white guy at a terminal.  Maybe even a white guy as long as there is one from every other race.  But mostly the white guy is the most hated person on the planet, cause he's seen as a rich massa (master).  Or else the white middle-aged guy is portrayed as the stupid loser in car commercials or other TV ads.  The black guy is always "cool."  

Oh yeah, and all the TV police sargeants/person-in-charge are now black.  Is that true in reality as well?

All it means is that whites are typically blind to these issues, but minority groups remain vaguely sensitive to them. So you can leave white people complete out of the picture, they won't notice, while including minorities in significant roles is net-net a winner.

This is market tested with focus groups, right? So this is the organic outcome. No one resorted to stereotypes when they rank ordered what pictures would appear on what box. It just worked out this way. Each is just selling to their real audience. NO racism at all. YOU are the racist for thinking there is racism.

[Now, am I sarcastic, or not?]

Hmmm, let's see ... no straight white men, so it's fine.  The guy in the center is a Pan-American Everyman, just enough color and squintiness and nose shape to fall subconsciously into East Asian, Semitic or even Hispanic lineage.  But he's not 'meant' to be white.

You want find out about racism, visit SE Asia or East Asia.  

Hongcha, well-groomed and dressed right and with a handful of the local currency, can stride into any ***** establishment or gathering whatsoever in say Bangkok or Beijing with head held high and be welcomed with open arms.

Ask a Chinese or Indian if they get the same treatment in their own country; they will tell you fuck no in no uncertain terms. The asian brand of racism runs deep.

White men in white shirts still run the show where it matters, gentlemen.

It is not "racist" to sense/perceive racial differences, because it's just REALITY.

It may be considered racist to exclude a person on purely racial attributes, if they meet other attributes.  

Having said that, I will call out anyone who is either stupid or hypocritical enough to apply the term "racist" to only the dominant race, when 'racism' is practiced with impunity by other races.

E.g., to demonstrate how phony and over-sensitized our culture has become, according to the MSM and Academia, it is "bad" to wave a "Straight white male Christian pride" banner, but it is totally acceptable and even fashionable to wave a "Gay female black Jewish pride" banner.  You might say "Dean Martin and his jokes are out, Whoopie Goldberg and her wisdom are in".  If we truly seek to be a "tolerant" society, then ALL groups and sub-groups should be treated equitably (fairly), rather than replacing one kind of intolerance with another.

What's wrong with it? It's in good taste:

It represents the 4 basic racial groups: Black, White, Asian, Brown.

It represents gays. It represents bi-racial couples: White woman/Brown man

Maybe someone should have been in a wheel chair.

Cute how they put the advanced with the Asians, introductory for the White/Brown couple, and "Essential" for the gay guys.

Different people have different thresholds for calling something "racist" - I'll allow that mine is pretty high.  I love comedy, I love guys like Bill Burr and Anthony Jeselnik [and Patrice O'Neal when he was around] and Louis CK and Nick DiPaolo who are delicate geniuses with regard to the art of the ostensibly racist/offensive rant.  Jeselnik is in his own league of course.

Here's one comedian's response to a righteous heckler...

Doug Stanhope's "fuck the Jews" bit.

Bill Burr on white guilt...  {"it's all the way down to swimmin'!"} and his bit on an "oddly racist comment" about Chinese people in a restaurant.

So what's the definition of "racist"?

Is there a distinction between being just prejudiced and racist?

 

I guess we've come a long way if instead of worrying about lynchings and separate water fountains, we're worried about the color of people on different versions of a software suite.

But I think a lot of the time, crying racism is disingenuous - and used as a red herring.  Certainly there's quite a problem with double standards now, the "knock out game" coverage in the media and hate crime {non} prosecution being a glaring example, at least the way I look at it.

I didn't even notice the different levels on the boxes until I started reading the comments.  What I noticed is no picture of a white man.  This is happening all over media now.  White men have become invisible, unless, of course they are obviously fem.  Then they are put front and center.

What I pick up from it is that:   Blacks are basic, Whites are average and Asians are advanced.

 

Let me tell you something from my experience of teaching in Asia.  Students are beaten by their parents if they don't get good test results, teachers are sacked if the students get low marks so it's in everyones interest to cheat.  This is how they get the amazing results, beatings, sackings and a very high student suicide rate.

it's a symbiotic 'educational' system.   I know I've worked in places where it happens, in places where the Head Teachers demand teachers do the students coursework, where teachers tell the students the questions before the tests.  So if we want to improve standards in the West we just copy the Asian model and all our students will get A's and the politicians can claim the credit.

True, the Asian kids work harder, it is installed in them from an early age and it is that what probably makes the difference when they come to study in the West.  Having said that, they tend to remember answers not understand how you get to solutions, so basically they are playing the system.

I think the truth is there are intelligent people and stupid people in every race, in every educational system and in every family.

That's not questioned.

The questions are:

  1. "which race is on average most intelligent?"
  2. "which race is on average most stupid?"

 

The above questions should not imply that anyone try to answer them in this [censored] forum.

So why would I care about Shelly & Cashman when I am interested in buying Microsoft Office? It is the product, not their ego that is important to me.

Oh, and I do not think it is racist. I think Microsoft believes that they can get more money out of Asians, whose insecrity will force them to buy the most expensive version, when all three are essentially the same product.
