Don't insult the jews by comparing them to those gingerbread bastards.
Yeah. Nobody has any plans to put them into ovens!
...well...um, uhh...
...nevermind.
At least nobody is planning on making a museum of an extinct cookie.
Unless the house and the man were made from the same gingerbread batch ;)
Would that be siblings, or clones?
Of course gingerbread men should not be forced to live in houses made of their flesh.
If you think about it for half a moment, you will see how ridiculous the suggestion is.
Gingerbread men should live in houses made of the flesh of other gingerbread men.
Undertale,
That's kinda offensive.
1 - What you mean to say is that you FEEL offended.
No statement is ever intrinsically offensive. If that were the case EVERYONE would feel offended by such statements.
Actions and attitudes/postures can be offensive as opposed to defensive, but this is in the context of conflict where one is either attacking/advancing or defending.
The point here is perfectly illustrated in your statement, "So the name-calling died down. A few ppl still do it and I just take their arm and turn it as much as I can without breaking it."
People say things that offend you, and you respond by taking offensive action.
2 - You indicate that you are offended by the characterization of gingers as soulless" but you neither assert that you have a soul, nor that you have a clear position as to why you are offended by being called soulless.
Do you have a soul?
The appeal process is long.. Cosby won't outlive it.
Especially considering the stress he has been under, and the fact that it just skyrocketed.
I don't see anything in your posts to indicate any concern for anybody, so prove me wrong. Again, (other than taxes, if you like) how much do YOU give away. What is the percentage?
He only has so much by not giving it away.
He is already giving a ton of it away.
Remember, In the US, the top 10% of earners pay 70% of all Federal income taxes.
The top 1% pay 37% of all Federal income taxes.
The bottom 40% pay no income tax, and about half of the bottom 50% receives a larger refund than they paid in. (They pay negative taxes.)
This will change some for 2018 taxes. The early estimates are that the Top 25% of earners will pay less tax in dollars, but a larger percentage of all taxes paid. We will see. (I don't trust the estimates.)
How much of what you have do you give away?
I would like to see what he has to say to his fellow inmates.
Hell, the season opener should be an apology to all the women he drugged and raped, and for that matter, an apology to his wife.
This is just another example of what a mixed bag people are.
Cosby, who turns out to be a @#%! rapist, made the world a better place for a lot of years. His comedy was brilliant, his message was positive, and he was possibly as effective in fighting racism as Dr. King was.
I grew up watching his various TV shows (including Fat Albert) and listening to his albums, and I understood that this Black guy from Philly had a childhood remarkably similar to mine, and that the basic ingredients of his life and his outlook were the same as mine. The basic text of his artistic and cultural contributions was that race is irrelevant, and we all are funny and amazing and worth knowing.
When he was hired to be on I Spy in 1965, his stipulation was that his character was to be just a guy, not a black guy. There were to be no jokes or references to race because he recognized that it is irrelevant and incidental.
There is a whole generation of us who, because of Bill Cosby grew up with the awareness (and assumption) that racism, including racial stereotypes and categorizing people by race, is stupid because we are all just people.
I support the outrage at his criminal actions, and I am disgusted by the fact that so many people allowed it to continue for so long. Absolutely prison is where he belongs.
That does not mean we should throw away the good that he did, or the positive contributions he made.
I don't know if he is a good man who did horrible and selfish things, or if he is a horrible man who gave wonderful and valuable things to the world.
I am not even sure there is a difference. As I said, people are a mixed bag.
That seems like it could be a problem.
It would only be a problem if the art is face-down.
Of Course the Etch-A-Sketch-Art museum could be in an earthquake prone area. They could put it next to the Jell-O sculpture gallery.
(He's one of the 1% ;)
How is his income connected to his concern for others?
