Don Imus and Rutgers Women
 
Well, all I can say is that Don Imus and I disagree about the Rutgers Women.
I think they're quite attractive, but so are the Tenn women.
Here's what Imus said:

I dont understand why people cant say what they want without someone being offended? All the 'outrage' just gives him more free publicity.

Totally agree, Billy Packer said a comment last week and a lot people
were offended by what he said. Packer said he wasn't going to apolgize.
Good for him. This is one of the few times I agree with Packer

I just cant understand why offending people is so bad ? I mean are there Native Americans that are truly hurt because of the Washington Redskins or Cleveland Indians or Altanta Braves? And if they are hurt shouldn't they just get over it and worry about more pressing matters? I can see where Tim Hardaway went a little too far but if he really hates gay people who cares?

Cannon Shell 04-06-2007 07:22 PM

And I am talking in a public sense not saying that it is ok to offend people personally

Cannon,
The reason people can't say what they want is that it's offensive.
Racist statements like "nappy headed hos" and "jigaboos" don't go over with some people.
Ask Michael Richards or Mel Gibson or even Newt Gingrich if rather than apologize for hate speech, it might be better to remain silent.

There are people in this world who have nothing
better to do than become the political correct
police. Hey I'm Polish and I constantly hear Polish
jokes and people calling other people a stupid polak.
I just laugh because it doesn't offend me one bit.

My friend wrote this story in the local newspaper

So what? I'm not saying that being biggoted is ok but who cares if people are offended? I am offended when you lefties say offensive things about our country, our president, etc. But I understand that it is your right as a US citizen to express your opinion. Pigs like Pelosi and Hillary never say they are sorry.

Cannon Shell 04-06-2007 07:36 PM

Oops that may have been offensive

I guess you disagree with the president of the NCAA and the president of Rutgers too.

Your other comments are unworthy of response.

I disagree with most everything that Myles Brand says or does. One of the largest hypocrites in the world. As for the Pres of Rutgers what do you expect? Is there any other source of news for you guys other than hufffington?

you left off rosie o'donnell.

i'm sure everyone finds something, or things offensive. i don't care much personally for bush, but i don't like it when he's compared to hitler. i'm offended when some, such as rosie, automatically think the worst of the u.s. and it's allies, when things like iran taking those brits happens.
i think imus was in the wrong...but i certainly don't see a reason for everyone to clamor for an apology--it certainly couldn't be sincere--i mean, imus said it-why would he go back on it and think anyone really believed he was sorry? i don't believe mel gibson didn't mean those things!
demanding apologies is ridiculous, and serves no purpose.

BUSH is a bigger PIG than any of the above.Pissin' away billions n' billions to try to tame savages(and getting plenty of Americans killed or horribly burnt/ mamed.) ALL this money should be spent on keeping this scum out of our country.The guy is too damn ignorant to ever figure out that these people don't want a Democracy.They want a Theocracy. This is not a freedom loving bunch.For instance,they don't even want non-Muslims there.So,from the beginning, he has been selling a lie(that they want freedom.) He got rid of the guy he wanted to get rid of. They don't have WMD. As far as I am concerned,that's the best you can do.This bunch of scum deserves nothing more.Get out.Let these Moslems kill each other.Fool,get out.

Good luck with this Scuds. The other day I termed Prince Hamdan "the arab" and I was deemed a racist. It was a real difficult day.

With your paragraph, I hope that you fair better.

By the way, you coming from SoCal, how did you like the snow in Lexington today? I bet you went into shock from the cold temps. lol

Their prophet butchered people.So,it should be no surprise when they act like savages. We should spend and spend to keep them the hell out of our country.Stop trying to civilize them.TRYING TO KEEP THEM FROM KILLING EACH OTHER IS NOT WORTH EVEN ONE AMERICAN'S LIFE.There is nothing wrong with their race.Their religion is what is making the rest of the world miserable.This will offend all the Moslem lovers.Be offended. You will never sell me on that religion producing anything but misery.

They say stuff like this all the time. I don't know why the outcry is different this time.

Scuds has nothing to worry about around here. His reputation is set in stone.

Scuds=Consistent.

Aw man, gotta love Billy "Allen Iverson is a 'tough monkey'" Packer.

I think he's a crazy old man who literally doesn't even get that his comments could be construed as out of line to some people.

Now, I'm sure that will offend old people...I could jump on the bandwagon with the "P.R.'s" in my area...but I won't.

But, what do I know? I just enjoy "stupid" things...:D (had to add that in! :) )
