Are you not not going to watch the Oscars this year?

[spike]

but, in as much as he did highlight and draw attention to the "good bits", I agree with him; lots of good film-related things happened; I just wonder why more people aren't pissed off that Chris Rock distracted from it by insulting a woman

because it was a joke, not an insult

stop being a fucking child

lol

ultimately, I'm just a person who tries to just do what feels like the best idea for me at the time

does it sound like I'll regret saying "IT WAS JUST A JOKE" over and over and over again makes you sound juvenile?

What?

I have no idea why you quoted me, I just guessed

I know.

good chat

You really kicked it off in style, kiddo.

present company accepted, it was only a joke

[spike]

Please stop bullying me, Ms Harmless.

[BurtReynolds]

traumatised bullies are still bullies;

Yes they are.

[Ms Harmless]

traumatised bullies are still bullies;

Yes they are.

glad we agree, Burto

Listen, Harmless, your hypocrisy is through the roof. If you're going to be the one advocating the idea that humorous "insults" equate violence, then you should be the one to not hurl them, don't you think? Unless you're actually trying to be violent. What if his mom is actually dead? Do you know? How hurtful might that actually be?

if I find any of that is true, I will take accountability and apologise, as Chris should have done

I don't think harmless is opposed to violence so long as it serves the enforcement of the "correct" worldview on the world. It's that puritanical, anglo imperialist, Christian missionary ethos she can't escape.

Would you say it would be more reasonable for you to have the right to be afforded the opportunity to make amends before spike smacks you in the face?

[Ms Harmless]

it's worth saying though, Tree, that by your logic, it doesn't matter about spike's feelings

I don't know, I'm just asking questions and figuring out what words mean

[tree_]

No.. you're just being harmful and difficult, and you're mocking me, which is pretty childish, I must say.

that's just decorum, I don't care; nobody wants a smack in the face but if spike is truly hurt by what I've said, what I feel about it ceases to matter

This is a logical fallacy. Again, I'm reminded of Charlie Hebdo. Do you think because people feel offended, pained that their god has been mocked, they are right to murder, if they feel justified in doing so? Surely a god is more important to someone than their cheating, skanky wife.

We need laws because your feelings don't trump someone's right to not be physically attacked.

"I'm sorry IF you were offended."

[Strat]

"I'm sorry IF you were offended."

This "apology" infuriates me more than the initial offense. Ive been the receiver of this plenty before and it just leads to more harmful behavior. Ugh. Im sure i've said that as well. I always am very careful about the word choice in an apology.

[epilogue]

I'm not here to defend anyone. But you have to see the difference between the joke in that video and what Chris Rock said. If you can't, then it's clearly willful and I'm not sure what you're after.
