I can see many places where Foxx would not be a hypocrite in this I can do it, but you can't scenario. Red can call Eric a dumbass, but would probably object if Bob called Eric a dumbass. In the throes of passion, you could possibly call your wife a slut but may have a problem if PA did. I have a friend that refers to himself as a dumb Pollock, but I am certain would be hurt if I did in a certain may. A certain way. Here is another factor, the same words can be used in many ways. As noted earlier, Richards was probably using those words to hurt. Foxx can use it and it's almost like a secret password with the people that share that same race. Someone outside the group uses the same word, it can have an entirely different meaning and an entirely different reaction. I don't see hypocrisy with Foxx. I see someone trying to gather some publicity, maybe a little "street cred" before jumping in his Mercedes, but not hypocrisy.

interesting story.

I'm coming out, I'm a lesbian. I don't even need to ask. Seems kind of silly to me to care who someone is having sex with.

Salaries are always going up. When 2010 rolls around and Pujols has a new contract he'll be far ahead of C-Lee. And in a couple seasons, someone with less stats than Lee will surpass him. Always happens.

QUOTE(Rooftop Shots @ Nov 24, 2006 -> 03:23 PM) If that is what he was writing about, and/or if there was any other source that it was related to, you've got to admit, it took one heck of an imagination to come up with some of those lyrics. This one is a doozy. And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather charts to see if it was safe outside And little Early-birdy came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride Actually, another theory was the record company demanded a Morrison look and feel and he just tossed together some random rhymes. Example: The soxtalk boxtop was walkin' pop the tether shots to see if it has beat upsides . . . I'm a f***in' music genius like Morrison, Dylan, and Springsteen.

War does not make anyplace more safe. More civilians are dying under our rule than the prior. Can we at least now realize why some, if not most, people in Iraq are not grateful for our presence? This kind of ties into Kap's thought. We are at war with all of Iraq. So we face a choice. Take the whole country over or get out. I do not see Iraq's history books ever thinking our invasion was good for their country. (Unless we write them)

Since this was on Springsteen's first album I always thought it was a critique of the music industry, the spinning your wheels emptiness of youth, and some drug references. For some reason I always thought of Springsteen as not a hard core drug user. Perhaps I heard that in some old interviews. I have come to liking his version more than MMs, but I also like Dylan's All Along the Watchtower as much as JHs

It appears there are two camps here, the first is the anyone who uses the "n-word" is a racist, and those that believe when in a heated argument a person will grab the words that would hurt the most, regardless of their feelings about race, sexual identity, etc. I'm in the "hurt the most" camp. Telling that heckler their mom dresses them funny would not have shut them up. Richard's felt he had to go to the top of the list, the most vile, insulting thing he could think of. That would be something the person has no control over, his race, looks, size, etc. Everyone here knows the worse insults we could toss at someone. To claim that in your worse moments, your most enraged, you wouldn't reach back and grab those words, would make you either a Saint or you are fooling yourself. I agree he was wrong, a poor comic, an even worse apologist, but to label him a racist, which implies a systematic, long held belief, based on this one instance, isn't fair.

Dear Yahoo!: What is the most common birthday? David Denver, Colorado Dear David: We found several references to this question on the Web, all pointing to the same source: a survey of 12,576 Americans conducted by Anybirthday.com. Answers like this one from the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star cite the study's finding of October 5 as the date the most people (in the U.S., anyway) are born. The 2001 report claims approximately 968,000 living Americans entered the world on that date. (The original web page announcing these results is no longer online, but we oh-so-cleverly queried the Internet Archive Wayback Machine and found it.) So why October 5? Just a random date? Perhaps, but Anybirthday has a theory: To be born on this date, a baby would most likely have been conceived on New Year's Eve. The survey also found May 22 to be the least common birthday. As yet, no guesses as to what it is that happens in late August (nine months prior to that date) that routinely turns so many people off. Perhaps it's just too darn hot?

Summer in the City - Three Dog Night Live Long - Kings of Convenience How Sweet It Is - James Taylor Sweet Home Chicago - Foghat If - Bread Keep on Smilin' - Wet Willie Sentimental Lady - Bob Welch Nights are Forever Without You - England Dan and John Ford Coley I know Your Out There Somewhere - Moody Blues Mirror Mirror - The Who OMG, I wanted to lie and toss in some more respectful mix. I am off to aquire some of the tunes that are on the playlists.

Sad day, yet a great testimony to our system of self government. We had an orderly transition.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 22, 2006 -> 04:36 PM) If a guy can throw the N word directly at someone and still not be considered a racist, then what does he need to do? If you are looking for the worst possible insult to make, do you have to be a racist to use it? Everyone here knows the worst thing to call someone, in a fit of anger, they use it. I'm not ready to indict anyone over an angry outburst.

That's not a good career move

This is the day Of the expanding man That shape is my shade There where I used to stand It seems like only yesterday I gazed through the glass At ramblers Wild gamblers Thats all in the past You call me a fool You say its a crazy scheme This ones for real I already bought the dream So useless to ask me why Throw a kiss and say goodbye Ill make it this time Im ready to cross that fine line Chorus: Ill learn to work the saxophone Ill play just what I feel Drink scotch whisky all night long And die behind the wheel They got a name for the winners in the world I want a name when I lose They call alabama the crimson tide Call me deacon blues My back to the wall A victim of laughing chance This is for me The essence of true romance Sharing the things we know and love With those of my kind Libations Sensations That stagger the mind I crawl like a viper Through these suburban streets Make love to these women Languid and bittersweet Ill rise when the sun goes down Cover every game in town A world of my own Ill make it my home sweet home Chorus This is the night Of the expanding the man I take one last drag As I approach the stand I cried when I wrote this song Sue me if I play too long This brother is free Ill be what I want to be Chorus
