1. Non-blacks- you simply cannot say the n-word period. Chris Rock does a really funny bit on this. Honestly, we shouldn't say it either but it's our choice.
Bull crap. You lost all respect with this point. I didn't continue past it.

bohm, I've come to the conclusion that you are only interested in bickering and arguing. That's all well and good, but I'm not playing that game.

Michael Jackson---What Was Your Opinion Of Him?
by minimus ina year ago, mj suddenly died.
for years, multitudes of people said michael jackson was a "sicko" a "wacko", a "child molester" and an "addict".. once he died, the man was glorified by people, the media and his family.. what did you think about michael?.....personally, i thought he was an eccentric ultra-gifted artist who was childlike and brilliant.
i was never convinced that he was a child molester but i will say i thought his behavior was "weird" with kids (and adults)..

I find it unbelievable as to how the media sings his praises now but battered him while alive.
Media does whatever sells. Simple fact.

Are Men As "Manly" As They Used To Be?

"Men" is such a broad term. Masculinity has not subsided, although it is not as prominent in pop culture as it once was. Men live, but you're not as apt to see them on prime time television as you once were. Real men march in Iraq and Afghanistan, fighting for their principles and their country. Real men work untold hours in ER's, sacrificing much of their own lives for the good of others. Real men rush into falling skyscrapers to help people they've never met. Real men stop to help the elderly change flat tires. And yes, they're are plenty of them out there.

Makes the bugs not look so bad, huh.
I've wondered if foreign people who eat wacky foods look at pictures of our food in the same way.

Some people will eat anything!
In-n-out fries animal style. I've never had it, but evidently that's a burger joint. It's fries, with hamburger and bacon and cheese and some king of salad dressing.

"Better not judge people, ooooooh no, as it hurt us so much when we were judged."
So let's police one another with thoughts of, "You did not know him/her, etc." LOL
Bull crap. What I said is you've never met him. You don't know whether he molested children. Here's a simple fact. He is dead. Whatever you want to remember about him has no bearing on him now. It does, however, speak volumes about what kind of person you are.
If he molested children, then yes, that is a horrible thing, and a thing deserving of judgment. If he did not, and it is likely he did not, then harping on something that is untrue and based upon nothing more than the accusations of people who willingly left children with him and stood to gain untold amounts of money by making the accusation, well then, that is something deserving of judgment as well.
I am by no means someone reticent to make warranted judgements; however, those judgments must be made on established facts, not visious rumors. Surely you can distinguish the difference?

Guess I pointed out the obvious in an enviroment of people who think no one should be judged. Sorry for the slap of reality, but no regrets.
That is simply not true. However, making judgments when you lack personal knowledge and facts of those being judged is never correct. I suppose you feel like a big man in doing so?
