I agree with you
mnaz.
Limbaugh is probably worse, he says the same kinds of things but uses his 'code" words so all the ditto heads know who he means.
Cecil you know I see the mote in his eye and not the beam in mine. BUt he lost me when he went pandering to to the likes of Al Sharpton. I felt like I wanted to puke. I suppose he was worried about not being able to continue his good works with the children and was willing to surrender his integrity to that. What difference does it make? I have not lost my sense of humor yet compadre.
Sharpton such a tower of moral authority.
All this talk about free speech. Yes indeed. I am all for it. I don't like the way Germany for example bans certain kinds of speech, they even ban certain symbols. Has it helped any?
I got flammed once on litchicks cause I told a sick joke about the Holocaust. I was very sad. I lost a cyber friend. A cool chick in a red pick up truck. She told me that if I was in Canada she would have me jailed under their hate speech laws.
Imus's speech is not free, he was paid
ten million dollars and
that air space he is talking to belongs to all of us,
Let him stand on a soap box and talk like a wigger.
I wish him well, he obviously is a good person
which is more than I can say about Rush Slimebaugh.
I know, I know, it was just a joke
but it wasn't funny.
I did not give it much thought when I heard it, just another stupid human trick I thought.

Priorities, oh lordy
mnaz
I suppose my number one priority right now is to keep breathing.
I am not as ambitious as I once was.
yes
hester he meant it as a compliment
Which shows a certain arrogance on his part, nice guy that he is.
I have been guilty of that too
that is why I always liked this line from a jitterbug song
"you can't be any better than the worst you recognize."
I am hoping something good will come out of this.
But the sad part of all this for me is that slush slimeball still sleezes his merry way on to the bank.
I have compassion for Imus but even more for the those kids on that basketball team. "if it don't kill them it will make them stronger"
paraphrase of Totenputz's tag line.
He did more in his life with his money than most celebrities do including those that are so critical now. It makes me sad.
It makes me sad too
SooZen. I don't even know what the eight noble truths are, I been pretty much concentrating on right speech and right livelihood, and also non-violence if that is one of them too.
I am done pontificating
I am done talking about this
I did not even know I cared this much about it
Sticks and stones yes
maybe words spoken can not hurt
but words written have caused much pain
language a mixed blessing?
