Kramer craps on his career.

Now, if you want to discuss why Dave Chappel and Chris Rock can get away with some of the things they say (which still don't approach this), that I can agree with...

Yeah but his rant wasn't part of a 'bit'. I think when it's presented in that context it allowes for more 'colorful' language.

That and Chris Rock and Chappelle's acts are full of social commentary with a lot of feeling behind them, not always, but most of the time. Its like South Park.

I still am not completey buying the South Park angle.

I dont see how you can dissmiss an entire show of political incorrectness with a warm and fuzzy ending.

Its like a token apology for the easily offended to say "hey, we told them it was wrong".

I was talking about Miles' addictions and his attitude towards everything in the later part of his life. It really puts a bad taste in my mouth.

That was directed towards Talcalm x, not you, and I agree with you. Miles let his anger destroy him. Still a genius and I love his music though. I also thought what he did to Branford Marsalis in Toronto was funny as heck. "Get the F off my stage!"

Dammit Al, have your people been oppressed by the blacks for well over 400 years?

sorry i missed this one

nope but I am still offended when someone blantantly makes a racial remark about me. Or any remarks about me or people around me.

Why should any race get special attention in the realm of rude remarks. Being rude is being rude plain and simple.

Slavery is a hurdle we need to get over without a doubt but it is no excuse to allow racism to be any more or less acceptable for any race.

I'm not speaking about the "show" in particular, but the guys that are running it, the creators. Matt and Trey are still the overseers of that thing, they control it, and I've seen enough interviews with them to know that they are, or at least have become, intelligent and necessary social commentators.

Before the news got all incredulous and made such a big production of it, I thought to myself, 'well, he must've been ready to retire', chuckled at what an ass he truly must be, and forgot about it.

The real problem is the same as it will always be- Nobody-respects-nobody, and freely ACT with disrespect. A lot of people seem very comfortable publicly showing their ass to whomever they choose.
Self-centered, self righteous horrible crap for people. Not unlike the characters on Seinfeld.

(I'll bet Mel Gibson feels the weight of the world is off his shoulders though.

Aha! Did anybody else see the new previews for "Apocalypto" with Mel douching it out for the camera? Very conspicuous timing indeed!

my favorite part of the tirade, "Thats what happens when you interrupt a white man"

I laughed, a lot.

apparently, i've started my period today because i'm on a proofreading/editing frenzy.

this is a double negative which literally means "everybody respects somebody"

flapjacks · Post by **flapjacks** » Sat Nov 25, 2006 1:14 pm

double negatives cancel out so it doesn't mean anything.

Garr · Post by **Garr** » Sat Nov 25, 2006 4:01 pm

Are you kidding me? So let me understand this. . .

-20 x -20 = 0?
-5 + -5 = 0?
-10 - -10 = 0?

Just because the orientation of negatives cancel each other out doesn't mean that they are meaningless. It means that they mean the opposite of the opposite. I can't even believe I'm addressing this. This is third or fourth grade math we're talking about here.
yes, i know. . .negative ten minus negative ten DOES equal zero, but that's a triple negative. . .and part of my argument!

but according to this judge we are okay

I'm just waiting. . .waiting. . .waiting for the intelligence to step in.

And yes, I think that Paula needs to have her opposites attracted to me.
