Pets Things that please me

He certainly wasn't simple minded,

Well, there's no other word to describe an american who thinks all humans are like them. Well, there is! Pig headed, arrogant, ignorant, hypocritical, fundamentalist.

He was right, about alot things, about America and religon,. But thats not the case for everywhere else. He failed to acknowledge that. A very dangerous man towards people who believe there is a better way, another way. Dangerous to those who are suffering as a result of the american military industry.

He was a good comedian, he saw a market and went for it. But he was an extremist who spread american capitalist propaganda.

Did he think that everyone was like Americans or did he just ignore that for stylistic/audience reasons? Comedians are characters, they play a role and act. Like you say he saw a market and went for it, don't think it detracts from him in anyway.

Also I assume you mean anti-capitalist propaganda. Don't see a problem with it, nearly 100% of comedians have a personal bias that they impart on their acts. Calling him a dangerous man is a stretch, if people are basing their ideologies on an comedian's act they need their heads checked.

Bill Burr I have just on a level below with Stanhope and Chappelle, similar genius but doesn't quite share the same body of work.

I accept that point, that he didn't want to upset the very people he made his money from. So he changed his language to not scare them away, feel threatened.

It doesn't matter why he did it, it matters that he did. That it also is common strategy of american media and gov, or any other totalitarian culture, to try and paint there failings as biological and not cultural.

It not really important here. But it is a pet peeve that people who are actually trying to change culture, use him as an idol without recognizing the sub couscous message he emmitts. He was being judgmental, to make a buck, whinging about others being judgemental. Some think he is some sort of social warrior.

Quitting my job.

And telling my boss to stick my responsibilities (whilst i was on sick leave) up his ass at the same time.

Finished 1st day of work, just been to the gym and now I am on the laptop with Dad's credit card in my hand waiting for 1pm when I can book grand final tickets (assuming the Hawks make it)

 

[Gough]

Grab one for me SG.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Grab one for me SG.

With Dad's credit card, the possibilities are endless

 

[Gough]

It's SG's old man's shout.

Well you're either playing Poort or Freo so I guess a Hawks GF is guaranteed.

Not necessarily. Both have beaten us this year

I reckon Hawthorn v Port and Swans v Norf Prelims.

Nah top 4 never changes. Hope Norf win though as I reckon they are a better chance against the $wans

Thirty years ago this year Norwood won the SANFL flag from fifth, you never say never.

Really? You're giving Geelong no chance?

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Don't buy me one.

I think it will be a good game, but the stars seem to be aligning for NM. Injuries at Geelong look to be a worry.

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Not Norf....

Makes sense. I look forward to the North and Hawks GF.

Honestly I am nervous this week, but if we win tomorrow i'd be very confident about rolling the Swans.

You going to Friday night's game?
