You are glad he was there? You are not embarassed by his actions as one of your leaders? Thanks, that answers every question I had about you. Now Get???? hahahaha. I'm sorry am I bothering you? Now that you told me to get I sure learned my lesson. sheesh, guess I can't talk anymore since I don't have your permission. You are aware that no matter how much it bothers you, this is a free country right? That means I can stay as long as I want. Get comfortable, I'm not going anywhere.

Exactly what I asked you. Your opinion in Al Sharpton's involvment in that case.

I know I said I wouldn't comment on things you said anymore but I have to say, I never thought in my entire life I would hear my mother being compared to a rapist.

Sheila- no comments on Al Sharpton's involvement in the Tawana Brawley case?

I cannot beleive you are putting Al Sharpton in the same category as a great man Like Dr. King. I'm curious, and you probably won't answer this like you didn't anwer the sarcasm criteria post, but what are your opinions on Al Sharpton's involvement in the Tawana Brawley case? Also when I said I respected your differing opinion even though you did not respect mine and you wrote that you respected that I conceded. Is that because we have different opinions? Not being rude, it is your right to think your opinions are the only ones that matter and are correct.

Also for the record Sheila. I respect your differing opinion too. I wish you could respect mine.

I hate to say it. I'm going to have to concede to you. As much as I love debating with people it is impossible to do with you because you are not honest in your accusations. Also, common sense does not apply to everything. But again, you win. I will go down the line and possibly reply to anything ihaven't read yet but after that I am done commenting with you. I respect your differing opinion even though you don't respect mine. I do not respect your dishonesty in your accusations though. For the record. My mother was a great person who raised her twins to the best of her abilities by herself with no family (she was raised in foster homes because her parents were killed when she was a very small child). She worked hard to put clothes on our back and food on our table and never complained. Even when my brother and I were 14 and my brother was diagnosed with non-hotchkins lymphoma and had to travel back and forth to a town 4 hours away every two weeks for 9 months to have chemotheraphy treatments and then during that same time I was in a horrible four wheeler accident where both my arms and one leg was broken and I was in a different hospital for weeks on end which put her in financial ruin which she never caught up on even though she always made her payments. she loved to tease and would have never hurt a fly. She was however a little obsessed with 70's music and board games. The last thing my mother ever did was hurt our feelings especially on purpose. I know I will never come close to being the great person she was. Even though unlike her, I will probably live past the age of 47.

What does Isiah Washingtong being black have to do with anything I said. What statements does it throw out the window?

Yet again, you are not completely reading my posts. Go back and look and you will see that I am not arguing he shouldn't be fired. I'm arguing aginst the double standard and for the right for free speech. You are making my points for me. Oh I get it, you are secretly on my side but playing devil's advocate. Dude, you are doing a great job. I was beleiving you for a second.

Okay. so you are saying I cannot think of anything else to say so I am "crying first amendment"? What diminishes why we have the first amendment? when people want to enforce it? Have you been watching the news? Do you think I am the only one talking about the first amendment? the only one talking about civil rights and liberties? You are too funny. Talk about ignorant.

The point of the story was to be honest pertaining to the topic at hand. Why are you so upset by my honesty and opinion? I'm not upset by your opinions. The only thing I'm upset about is that you are accusing me of saying stuff that I didn't. What is it you have against honesty. Yours and mine? Yes I did call him a crybaby. Am I not allowed to have that opinion?

If you read my comment you would have read what he said. Steve harvey is making fun of white southern people and making racially sensitive, derogatory and stereotypical comments about them. Isn't that what Imus is being accuse of when he said nappy headed ho's? Isn't Imus being accused of being racially insensitive, stereotypical, and derogatory? Can you tell me what the difference is between these two people and why one is worse than the other?

okay, you are not being honest here. I absolutely did NOT post only negative things about hip hop. I said in my opinion there were just as much self struggle hip hop as negative hip hop. Show me where I ONLY posted negative things about hip hop. You have yet to show me anything you have accused me of so far.

I didn't say she said anything about his race. I said she was spewing hate speech. She said he was old ugy creep. I said that was hate speech every bit as much as Imus nappy headed ho's comment. It just so happens he is white. Are you actually reading what I write? just curious.

Yes I am half mexican. My mother was full mexican and my father was full Irish, I think that makes me half mexican. It also makes me half Irish. Again, I could be wrong. What am I in denial about? Are you saying it was inappropriate for my mom to call us that? Are you saying I should have been offended by my mom? I would disagree with you saying I'm in denial. In fact, I think I'm being very honest and open even when it does not shed me in the best light. Again, sense of humor is a matter of opinion. I don't think you have a good sense of humor. That doesn't mean I'm correct. I'm sure you would disagree. And you obviously don't think I have a good sense of humor. Doesn't mean you are correct. You don't get to decide what I think is funny. I don't get to decide what you should think is funny. Do you think political humor is funny? I don't. But I'm sure there are a lot of people reading this who do. What does common sense have to do with humor? How do they even go together? Common sense IS just as important as book smarts but I'm still not understanding the link between common sense and humor.

I hope I get an answer soon on how to become an acceptable candidate for sarcasm. Maybe I'll google it.

No matter who the president of the First Amendment fan club is, whether it be you, me, or Imus. I think whoever it was should be very proud.

HYSTERICAL!!! I love that show.

I agree that Stern is a prejudice, sexist, disgusting human being. You are preaching to the choir about this issue. I couldn't agree with you more. But isn't Howard Stern allowed to have civil rights and liberties? Aren't we all allowed to have that? I hope so, and you should hope so to, because if they take that away from us, then we will not be able to have message boards like this where you and I can both post our opinions even though they disagree. I don't want that taken away from me. I'm sure you don't either.

Actually you did say it wasn't ok to be sarcastic. Well you said it depends on who is saying it. So I am curious which people it is acceptable from and which people it isn't. Also, I should start a fan club for who? I'm not an Imus fan, in fact I think his show is pretty boring. But I do think you have an excellent suggestion as far as starting a fan club for what I am a fan of and the reason I started this thread. Great idea to start a fan club for the First Amendment. Good thinkin' girl!

May I ask you what it is about me that makes it not okay to be sarcastic? And would you also let me know what the criteria is for sarcasm being ok to say. I'm just curious what points I don't qualify for.

Can you show me where I said He should accept my apology? Didn't I say that if he never forgave me for the rest of his life I would understand? I don't think some of you are quoting me accurately. If I wrote somewhere that he SHOULD accept my apology I certainly didn't mean to because I don't feel that way. But I don't think I did.

I would agree with you that was ignorant if I wasn't being sarcastic. And I don't mean I literally wish I was black. I'm trying to make a point. I'm proud of who I am as I think we should all be. Is being sarcastic ignorant?

Should Steve Harvey get the boot for his ignorance that I'm listening to right now? I don't think he should.
