  i wanted to know everyones opinion on him losing his show and his comments.. first of all i do think his comments warrant the cancellation of his show, but it should have never got that far.

  when you are talking with family it should never leave the house.

  it should stay behind closed doors.

  Please do sell all Africian Americans short.

  Your statement Is not true.

  "Try it. Next time you want to use the N word, try... ignorant, illiterate, low life, jerk-off, a$$hole...whatever you like. If you're white, and you fight with a black person...you're already a racist in their view, period. It's just the norm. You can't beat the system."

  We do not consider all white persons racist just because there is name calling involved. Everyone involves in name calling. Anyone of any culture can be called ignorant, illiterate, low life, jerk-off, etc. But when an individual calls an African- American person the "N" word when that word has such negative and hurtful history behind it, yes then many African Americans might feel moved to label such a person as racist.

  Please be fair and just when discussing this topic.

  my ex sister in law called me this morning to tell me that bother had shot himself.. he was raised a witness but stopped going at 18. he was my favorite brother always level headed and smart.. except lately.

  apparently he has been robbing banks in ca this summer.

  he led the police on a freeway chase and decided to shot himself instead of go to jail.. now i am wondering how well i know anyone at all anymore.. .

  I really do not know all the dynamics behind him using this language. Many persons are saying that he really is not racist. If that is the case, then he made those statements in poor judgement and should not lose his show.

  But, in this day and age, that word should not be used by anyone of any culture.

  It has negative conotations of past and current prejudice and racism against African-Americans in this country and we do not need to be reminded of such.

  Stop using or saying the "N" word.

  Thanks for the history lesson

  I did enter the statement in "google"-here it is:

  MK-Ultra, Agent Orange and DU. After Vietnam, Henry Kissinger said, "Militarymen are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.

  But I still stand by my post. It does not make saying this or repeating this statement right.

  It's a terrible statement to make about persons in the military, when they are loosing their lives everyday.

  What kind of Driver are you and your history? Do girls get a better deal?

  i would consider myself somewhat aggressive and impatient, swearing and gesturing when infuriated in a very fast red sports car.. i do keep to the speed limit or about 5 to 10 miles above.

  i have never had a ticket issued in my 32 year driving and never been in an accident.. i've been pulled over twice and let go.

  once for an expired tag, and once for a brake light out.. tell your driving history!.

  I am a women driver, but not agressive. I do not believe it is necessary to tailgate someone or illegally pass someone just to get to the next light. And if you are on I-95 or even on a local road, there is no reason to be on someone's bumper because of impatience.

  Suggestion: leave for your destination on time or earlier and that will eliminate speeding or cutting people off the road because you are late or in a rush.

  Having been employed in the insurance industry for 27+ years, I agree that the insurance companies should re-rate their policies and include high rates for women also. I noticed that in the past decade women have become even more agressive on the road, very impatient, applying make-up while driving, talking non-stop on their cell phones, etc.

  It's time for 'women's liberation' to really be just that when it comes to rating auto insurance policies.

  Hi purplesofa:

  I truly enjoyed our conversation yesterday.

  I am so glad you gave unconditional love to your daughter to help her through her troubled times.

  Keep up the good parenting and also keep a relationship with your daughter. Our children need us to help them, through good and bad times.

  I talk with my daughter everyday to make sure she, her boyfriend, and my two grandsons are doing well. If any problems are brewing or arise, even if I cannot physically be there for her, I can give her advice and help as needed.

  Remember, if they feel they have no one in their corner to help them, they may feel there is no hope or way out. That leads to depression and other bad choices..

  As always, you can give me a call at home.

  Ninja:

  I do not like war. It kills and maims people. Destroys lives.

  But never should we make such a blatant disrespectful statement that you have made on this site.

  Persons join the military for many reasons- that does not make them stupid, etc.

  Many are misled by the advertisements to join. Many hope they will gain a college degree with financial help. Many do not or did not have employment and needed the salaries to support themselves or their families. Many felt the discipline and structure of the miltary would make them better persons. Many actually believe they are or have served their country's best interests.

  We have lost too many in past wars and present wars to say such ignorant statements.

  Yes, I was in NY on a Quick Build doing steel framing.

  In my haste I picked up a steel frame without my gloves on and sliced my hand.

  Thank goodness it was not too bad........but I learned my lesson: put on your construction gloves when steel stud framing.
