"I'm blessed" This recording is indeed entertaining. I have never smoked weed, but thought it must feel like what it feels like catching my breath after laughing through this entire piece. - Josh Haley

The only thing better than Trapped in the Closet? R. Kelly's own commentary on Trapped in the Closet. BRILLIANT. - ::Kristen::

Kristin: thats the ridiculousness of it... YOU CANT BE WRONG!!! #dowatchlike means you are right in doing what you want to do! - Cody Heitschmidt

I happen to love Facebook, love Twitter, and love FriendFeed. Of the 3, FF is definitely the cleanest and most problem-free, and I'm sorry to see that (most likely) compromised. But I love them all, and use them all, for different reasons. - Call me Bronco

Hehe, my thoughts exactly. Even funnier how those A-listers can so easily jump ship when the tide turns. We're just stupid little bunnies here, and apparently need to be led to the farmer's garden. - jcunwired

They drink from the same flask that is "You don't piss off the biggies, or your out of the loop when big news they put out happens." They try not to rock the boat and only poke when they see its popular. They are not big enough to say FU when something really happens that is not liked. They will flip flop like the best politician. This is why I take everything they say with a grain of... more... - Santa CW™

Exactly, Steven. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

I like FF (9500 comments!) but I never really expected it to live forever without being reimagined or folded into a larger entity. This is a bit of a downer short term but long term maybe Facebook will finally be a fun place to hang out. It would be nice to be able to talk with the rest of my family (yeah, they're all on Facebook) without having to deal with the present incarnation of Facebook. Let's hope FF makes FB better, even if friendfeed.com is going away. - Daniel J. Pritchett

In agree totally Steven...... - Roberto Bonini

LOL so cute! - Myrna

ok, I didn't mean to take away your anger and disappointment...uh, yes but be happy and look forward to better creativity!!! - Myrna

I'll admit, I was definitely one of the tweaked. But, I tend to "tweak" at these sorts of things. :P - Jon, the Chilled Beartato

I do my best, Tina :) edit: how's the skating going, btw? - Bren -- Loves Chrimmuh

It's going well enough. Have skated 11 hours in the past 3 days which means I'm worn out. Instead of sleeping, though, I'm stuck on FF... Not for long though, I'm about to crash... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

I'm not tweaked so much as sad to see the potential demise of the service just as I was starting to get the hang of it and enjoy it. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

get thee to bed, Tina! sleep well (ff will most likely be here tomorrow when you wake) ;) - Bren -- Loves Chrimmuh

I'm really waffling back and forth. Like, I fear there may not be another cool tool like this, in which to met cool new friends, like you and you and you. But then again, I get over it and realize, it's a series of iterations of invention. - anna sauce

My fingers are crossed on that one Bren =D - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

I tend to think that if people want to stay in contact with the people they have encountered here -- (assuming that *here* is no longer a viable option) --they will. - Bren -- Loves Chrimmuh

Agreed. Like I said before, the fact that people are FLIPPING THE HELL OUT about this is hilarious. I highly doubt that things will drastically change. - ::Kristen::

But I like the way you would end up connecting with people in radiating circles outward, and in such an elegant UI. that would be hard to recreate. - anna sauce

Loved playing Home Run. - Mike Reynolds

Will anybody admit to buying and playing the godawful E.T?! - TDavid

@Abby that was Adventure in all its blocky castle glory, yup. - TDavid

Used to love Adventure with the keys and dragons. I never had Asteroids but my friends did. Never quite got the hang of it. I would accelerate too much and end up zooming diagonally across the screen out of control. - Barak B

I loved Pitfall Harry. And even broke the score where you can send in a picture of the screen and they'll give you a patch. but dang my mom, she wouldn't take a pic of the screen so no patch for me. It was devestating! - Jason Shultz from twhirl

Which film is that Oliver Platt still from? - Spidra Webster

movies all of above - `aziz´ Alihan ÇETİN

The last Harry Potter - Shevonne

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Manuel Mas

Knowing. Was so good right up until the end. Come. On. - Zach Flauaus

Didn't even know Burton did James and the Giant Peach - Manuel Mas

@Spidra - Bicentennial Man. I really liked the film myself, but then I love Asimov stories and love them when they get to film... not because they all live up to the written work, but because it is yet another medium to enjoy the work... like I, Robot. http://www.imdb.com/title... - Travis Koger

Thanks, Travis. - Spidra Webster

Matrix 2 and 3 - WTF!!! - Adrian

I agree with Adrian and Shevonne: Matrix 2, 3 and last harry potter - Johnny

live action Dr Seuss is a bad idea - Noah David Simon

Aeon Flux, Rocket Science, Napoleon Dynamite, Hot Fuzz, The Science of Dreams, Breaking News, Spiderman 3, X-Men 3, The Matrix 3, Repo Man, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Spaceballs, The Good Night, Burn After Reading, Tropic Thunder - Brome

burn after reading for sure. - strulcess

Tropic Thunder, good call. - Johnny

Star Trek: Nemesis. - Shawn Whitmire

most movies lately - Amber, Random Time Lord

Silent Hill. Was awesome until the last 20 minutes. And the last Harry Potter. Don't even get me going on that one. - ::Kristen::

I rarely watch movies, so I am rarely disappointed. long ago I was a big fan of MST3K - haven't seen it in years... - Mike Nencetti

Master of Disguise would be my pick. I lost all faith in Dana Carvey after that movie. - Shawn aka ringking

@::Kristen:: love Silent Hill up to that point also; good call. I disagree with the last Harry Potter; it was my favourite of the series thus far. Brome, you are so wrong in so many ways we need a new word to describe :P - Michael W. May

Stardust. - Alix Whitmire

Manuel, agree about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, very disappointing. - Kol Tregaskes

I liked Hot Fuzz a lot, Burn After Reading was good too but agree on Tropic Thunder, very poor. - Kol Tregaskes

I have stopped thinking about films like that, ie having some level that I expect them to sit at, or better. I just try and enjoy the film regardless of what went before it. Indiana Jones 4 was a good example. I think that on its own it was a perfectly good film, nice action, good 'mystery' etc. - Travis Koger

I liked Silent Hill, but would have to watch it again to see about the ending. - Kol Tregaskes

I try and watch any and every film and don't really bother to judge it. Even films that are seriously B-grade or lower still get eyeball time for me... Just like I would never say 'I am not interested in seeing that film'. There is just no point in excluding anything when all watching it does is waste some time. I have seen some brilliant foreign (read non-english speaking) films because of this concept. - Travis Koger

I'm with Travis. While a movie may have disappointing plot or dialog, it doesn't mean that the movie couldn't have entertaining moments. Sometimes I watch some movies for a scene or two or because of the soundtrack. - Jemm

Most movies based on books disappoint me if I have read the book first, but that is probably my fault - I find it difficult to see the film as a different/separate story. - Mellissa Claus

Jemm, Bruno was like that for me, I didn't like the fact that it was formula film, almost an identical plot to Borat, even down to the 'companion' that went with him to the US etc, but there was a couple of scenes in the film that I found laugh out loud hilarious and that is really the payoff for seeing it. Only thing I dislike is having to spend a lot of money going to the cinema and... more... - Travis Koger

I think I was most disappointed with Mel Gibson and Julia Robert's "Conspiracy Theory". Probably because I know it was a poor story compared to what it was derived from. There was an actual real "conspiracy-spouting, internet-savvy taxi driver" in Melbourne between 1993 and 1996 well before the movie. And that case was a darn-sight more interesting a story. - George Hall (Australia)

The Blair Witch wossname, utter garbage. Night in the Museum was way too childish. Could have been so much better. I've managed to avoid the sequel, which couldn't be any worse I suppose. - Gilbert Harding

AI: Artificial Intelligence. 'nuff said. :) - Amy

I loved AI ...you just didn't get it. it wasn't about a robot. it was about a little boy whose mommy rejected him. if you had balls you'd understand - Noah David Simon

Noah: I got the point. That doesn't mean it was any good tho. It had about 6 parts where it SHOULD have ended, and the whole cinema was just laughing by the end because it went straight through 'bad' into 'hilarious'. - Amy

did you like "Eyes Wide Shut? Amy? just wondering. - Noah David Simon

Noah: Not particularly. It was alright, but overrated. It had atmosphere and mystery but the characters did nothing for me whatsoever. - Amy

I think you might not be the audience for Kubrick's P.O.V. Amy. Kubrick was a craftsman, but his voice came out in both those movies - Noah David Simon

All that came out watching "Eyes Wide Shut" were my eyes. Had to resocket them a few times. - George Hall (Australia)

Kubrick's late explorations were on gender and power. A.I. resolved the feeling of rejection and lack of control men feel towards society women. mommy rejects us.... or our perfect wives are really controlling the game. they were contrary to the ideas of victimization and androgyny put forth by feminism. if you are a feminist I would garner that Kubrick's later stuff is quite... more... - Noah David Simon

They were poorly executed, no matter what the intended theme. - Amy

can't believe it... had ANOTHER message today about this... WTF is the matter with these people??? - Rob Sellen :o)

Insulting... with they would piss off.. - Rob Sellen :o)

What color are eurb packets, anyway? I assume that they're a different colour to herb packets ;) - Tyson Key

Spell however you like Rob. I am half English so I can understand either way. Cheers mate. - Joe

Don't forget without American help, in WW2 you would be speaking German. - Joe

It almost looks like you are painting w/ the same broad brush as my friend who insulted the British woman. - Joe

WTF J Deakin?? why did you say that about the war? what's that got to do with anything here? I addressed those who said it and they WERE American.. they said so... - Rob Sellen :o)

Then address them by name. - Joe

Why should I do that? that's getting personal isn't it? it is ALWAYS the Americans who do it. - Rob Sellen :o)

and don't forget that America saved Britian's ass. - Joe

No you never... anymore of this crap and I will block you, cos you are being argumentative for the sake of it... - Rob Sellen :o)

Don't call people out and look for a fight only to run and block when you have found one Rob. You seem to do that quite a bit. - Joe

Peace be with you brother. - Joe

who is looking for the fight? YOU... coming up with war crap? WHY? wtf has that gotta do with Americans telling English people how to spell...in English lol.. - Rob Sellen :o)

You tell me. - Joe

Why are you acting like a troll? - Rob Sellen :o)

Why are you always spoiling for a fight? - Joe

I'm not...what gives you that idea? - Rob Sellen :o)

Bet you don't tell him to change it tho ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

I spell it w/ a Z - Joe

Good I am glad that isn't your intent. have a good day. - Joe

You are a strange one! sorry to say but that's how it comes over to me. - Rob Sellen :o)

That is fine. - Joe

If I bore you, then you know what to do. Good day Sir. - Joe

never said you bore me... said you were strange, the way you say one thing, then the opposite after. - Rob Sellen :o)

If my strangeness is too much, you know what to do then. - Joe

So, which language we non-native English speakers should use? I usually use US English... - Jemm

Yeah I do know what to do.. but I decide when and what to do, thanks. ;o) I never jumped in your thread saying war crap that is so irrelevant to the topic.. - Rob Sellen :o)

Jemm.. why do you use that? you are just helping them Americanise everything... English is English.. - Rob Sellen :o)

Britain first, right Rob? - Joe

Btw you are only half of the equation. I am unsubscribing to you. - Joe

You bore me and you are looking for fights. - Joe

Bye. - Joe

ha ha... says the one looking for fights and being a TROLL.. BYE... - Rob Sellen :o)

Anyone who looks through your thread can see who you are, someone who starts shit and does not have the balls to back it up. - Joe

Thought you were going? So who is lacking balls now then? You started crap about the war... you are just being argumentative with crap like that... - Rob Sellen :o)

If you like I could kick your ass all around this feed, but i have gardening to do and actually I think that is what you want. - Joe

Cheers. - Joe

Kick my arse? LOL... heard it all now... YOU were the one who started the arguing.. now you are getting unsubbed! go.. play with ya flowers... - Rob Sellen :o)

Thank you. :) - Joe

Bye... have fun... - Rob Sellen :o)

You too. - Joe

Wow, who knew that differences between English dialects could cause a flamewar, or something like that? ;) - Tyson Key

haha. Yeah. - Roberto Bonini

Tyson... wouldn't happen without stupid comments about the war... daft really.. troll.. - Rob Sellen :o)

he twist shit.. like I said after English being English.. he said.. British first right rob?.... sounds like another with xenophobia.. sadly...so.. he will be blocked if that's what he is like.. - Rob Sellen :o)

Wow that was an impressive bit of trolling Mr. Deakins *tips hat* I'll remember to look for you under the next bridge I cross. - Rasmus Lauridsen

Don't write checks your arse can't cash. - Joe

PISS off... YOU looked for that fight.. are you DUMB too? If others here say it... then it's likely you are being a troll.. - Rob Sellen :o)

maybe you ought take you own advice, now piss off and play with your flowers.. - Rob Sellen :o)

That's "cheques" ... duh?! - Rob Sellen :o)

(Pulling out the can of woop ass....) - Joe

Rob. I do believe the best way to get rid of trolls, is not to feed them. - Rasmus Lauridsen

Okay, you have my full attention now. - Joe

You are now BLOCKED for being an arsehole troll.... you will go hungry now. :o) - Rob Sellen :o)

This is entertaining. :D For my part, as an American, what say I don't tell you how to spell, Rob, and you don't tell me how. Then we'll get along just fine. - Bette Cooper

well I'd never email you or anything telling you how to spell anyway.. likewise I find it insulting when someone does it to me. ;o) so we will be just fine ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

If I correct anyone(grammar or spelling) it would always be in private(DM) because I care. Most times I don't care how things are spelled here as long as I understand what person is saying. - Myrna

That's fine.. BUT I don't need correcting ;o) these people seem to think I should write the American way... stupidly.. - Rob Sellen :o)

Rob, maybe someone is just trying to 'tease' you because they know you will react. I doubt whether they are just trying to be benevolent to help. Maybe I am wrong. I would have to see the comment. Some people like to stir drama, you know? - Myrna

So its their motivation that's important. - Myrna

I agree with Rob, English IS English. It's not my native language but I try to speak/write it the proper way. Why should English people change their language? - Diego Espinoza V.

The only time I tend to correct is when speaking with non-native English speakers, which I do regularly. Since you, Rob, are a native English speaker, even if you spell weird (:p), you don't need correcting. I may be American, but I recognize that there is more to the world than my little sphere. Not everyone thinks British English needs to become American English. - Bette Cooper

I'm American, but I write certain words in proper English: harbour, behaviour, grey, theatre, etc. - Jason Huebel

Myrna.. yeah I know people can be like that, but no this was someone who found my blog.. they said, nice blog, but you need to spell correctly..then they rattled off a few words that they wanted me to change to the American way.. I was like WTF?? cheek!! Bette.. That I can understand, but you know, it's obvious from my blog I AM English..these people should have known that.. :o) - Rob Sellen :o)

I'm an Amerikan and i spell "dinner" like this: s-p-a-g-e-t-t-y... at leest 4 twonyte! ; > got an Audrey Hepburn fanclub sleepover with 14 yr olds on parade! i mean "paraid"! - Thom Kennon

Jason.. do you do it for a reason? - Rob Sellen :o)

Anyone who says "you need to", run fast away in the other direction. - Myrna

you know spelling is a funny thing, esp. nowadays with txting and IM shorthand working it's way into even business communications. The teachers apparently in grammar/grade schools are not amused. - Thom Kennon

"License" vs "Licence", anyone? - Tyson Key

Thom.. the thing is.. I don't give a rats arse how you do things... ;o) I wouldn't tell you to sort it out. You know.. :o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Rob - but i want you to care!!! I want everyone to care! even the guy under the bridge with the German issues... ; > - Thom Kennon

Lol... sorry to disapoint. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Ah... now see, I've never seen your blog, Rob. But, if they're reading it, and it's clear you're a Brit, then it's just silly on their part, to want you to change. It's not like the words are foreign, just the occasional extra letter. Ok, now who spells 'license' with two Cs anyway? Honestly?!? :D - Bette Cooper

Yeah, I mean... these people piss me right off. They either read it or not... if they want something written a certain way, they can bloody well do it themselves ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Learning Swahili or Hindi is always an option. ;) - Tyson Key

Non.. to hard for me. bitte. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

hehehe, Danish, too. Most of the same letters, just the weirdest combinations. :p - Bette Cooper

There's always Welsh, if you want a language that was intended to be incoherent and incomprehensible to everyone that encounters it. /me ducks ;) - Tyson Key

Aber Dansk is sehr easy at lære - Rasmus Lauridsen

Ha!!! The husband says that Danish is very easy to learn... again Ha!!! - Bette Cooper

The only Danish I need now is a Danish Pastry :o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Rob - I agree on the main point. My dad was English, my Mom American, and I've spent many years in both the UK and the US, so my spelling is a mixture - but I'd never think to correct anyone for using either form. Now, I would pick a bone with some English pronunciation, at least in terms of it being very difficult to pick up when I first went to England. E.g Chester is pronounced just... more... - Patrick Jordan

Think you answered it with that last bit ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Pronouncing "Leicester" as "Ly-sester" sounds strange to me, even though I'm also puzzled as why/how the name originally came to be. - Tyson Key

Think it was just an old style English name that never changed.. I pronouce it "lester" - Rob Sellen :o)

I would agree with everything but the characterization. Rather than dumb and arrogant, I would just say unnecessary. But it's sports, and really, what does it matter? :p - Bette Cooper

so many English place names of Roman origin. - Joe Silence is not Santa

Unnecessary is better.. arrogant stays tho ;o) lol. - Rob Sellen :o)

+1 Dead Silence - Tyson Key

The sort of common ancestor English of the modern Englishes from England and the United States was, in many cases, more like US English, which is to say that the English in England has undergone more change. - Christopher A Carr

Might have undergone more change.. but its still English ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Well of course we're arrogant, Rob... we're the United States, and we ROCK!!! Great Britain used to rock, back in the day, but now we've got the title, and we're keeping it!!! woohoo!!! :p - Bette Cooper

There are more speakers of American English. - Christopher A Carr

I think the British have come to reclaim it, Bette. ;) - Tyson Key

Still, your country gave the world FriendFeed, which is a good thing... - Tyson Key

Sadly, I think we only have last.fm to give in exchange. ;) - Tyson Key

lol.. we never rocked.. nor have you lot.. we all collectively shagged this world over... - Rob Sellen :o)

Chris.. not surprised the way your lot "push" everything onto the rest of the place!! :P - Rob Sellen :o)

Language is malleable and ever-changing. To suggest that there is a right or wrong spelling for versions that have been accepted into any lexicon is asinine. - mike fabio

Well, I think they certainly should try. We love competition. Just look at all the silly sports things that go on... sheesh, can't even play a game of pool without it turning into a competition. Or is that just me? lol... Would that I had been the geek that came up with that idea, Tyson. Oh, and I probably would have insisted that the only correct way of spelling things was in American English... cuz that's just the kind of girl I am. :D - Bette Cooper

I agree Mike. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Bette.. you really need to play an Aussie at some sport.. then you know what a competition is! ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

We may as well get around to creating a "Unified English" dictionary and lexicon, and just listing the variants from each dialect as alternative spellings and synonyms. That'd be a little too easy, though... - Tyson Key

there is a unified English... called English ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

(We'd just argue over which dialect should be the "reference dialect" though - and if you add the variants used in some other countries that most people don't count, we're back to square one) ;) - Tyson Key

Yikes, no! They'd want to swing kangaroos at me or something, then I'd have to go all 'American Gansta' on them (*snorts* yeah, right) and throw pit bulls... just gets all messy. - Bette Cooper

You mean that Kangaroo Hurling isn't the national sport of Australia? ;) - Tyson Key

stick to.. sq 1 mate ;o)... Americans should just call there style.. American. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Koala down a bit bette.. ya worry over nowt.. they only bbq them things ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Spring-loaded barbecue rats... - Tyson Key

Nooo, not the cute koalas!!! - Bette Cooper

LOL this thread has turned from the troll thread of all times to one of the most fun..... And Koalas are EVIL!! - Rasmus Lauridsen

Bette - Sports matter to me - I'm a fan of lots of them - but I much prefer 'world champions' to come from events like the World Cup, the Olympics, and other events where there are athletes from all around the globe. I'm a fan of competition too - even in games of pool played over a few beers. :) - Patrick Jordan

WHY did the American sports people ever start saying that crap in the first place? surely it was OBVIOUS at the time? - Rob Sellen :o)

@Rob, no particular reason. It's just how I've always spelt things. - Jason Huebel

Glad to hear that Jason ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

bloddy well right on - Warner Carter

Rob - fine question. I haven't got a clue on that either, and yeah it should always have been obvious. - Patrick Jordan

Doesn't it say something about the American population of the time, that they thought.. Ok.. world champs.. ?? - Rob Sellen :o)

Is the English language the only thing remaining in England that doesn't have a "Made in China" sticker on it? ;) - Tyson Key

Spell how you want, my brain is flexible enough to understand.... (I spell in English) - Alistair (alpinefolk)

get with it Tyson.. it's Taiwan.. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Hmm, given that the Americans supposedly have a narrow view of the world (i.e. everything outside of the US borders doesn't exist), the pretentious "world champions" thing makes perfect sense. ;) - Tyson Key

pretentious... that was the word I was looking for a minute ago.. yes VERY... ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

I don't know if that it's true, although it's a popular stereotype. - Tyson Key

*shrug* I have no idea why the Super Bowl is a World Championship, or anything else related to sports... check with the husband on that, he might know better. Though I think he's said he finds it silly as well. All I know is, we're taught early on to be the best we can be, so being world champions at whatever is the pinnacle, I suppose. And we got our pretentiousness from the Brits. :p - Bette Cooper

bette... lol.. doubt it... Brits are never pretentious in the way Americans are.. it is a different thing altogether with Brit public. - Rob Sellen :o)

Your point about.. being brought up to be the best at everything... that is a failing in a way. - Rob Sellen :o)

It's true - contrary to popular belief, most of the British population is not women aged 60+ who spend most of their time knitting, going on Saga cruises and sipping tea, either. ;) - Tyson Key

@ Tsyon - I think that's a bit too much of a generalization (or generalisation) - but sadly I've come across lots of Americans who seem to view the rest of the world as a fairly uninteresting 51st state. @ Bette - being the best we can be, reaching the pinnacle etc = that's exactly why the 'world champions' thing is so bothersome. An Olympic champion has truly taken on the best in the... more... - Patrick Jordan

Oh, and not all of us stuck "Up Norf" are sheep farmers who stay awake until 12am riding rusty tractors down motorways, and spend the rest of the time turfing up potatoes either. ;) - Tyson Key

You misspelled "Americanize". :) - Alex Scoble

yay for BOLLOCKS... :o) - Rob Sellen :o)

No Tyson, they are all solving crime :-P Britain would be as bad as the states if it wasn't for 60+ women solving crime. - Rasmus Lauridsen

I just want to stop the overuse of the letter U - Bastard Operator From FF

There's nothing like tea-fuelled javelin sessions involving knitting needles, and drunken secondary school kids in suburban streets! (Apparently). - Tyson Key

+100 Sean Reiser. I hate seeing that contraction/piece of "TXT Speak" everywhere... - Tyson Key

Lol @ Alex.. NO I never!! ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

hehehe, a different sort of pretentiousness... yes, I suppose... we just took it, and made it particularly American. I don't know if I would consider it a failing, though... it works for a good portion of us. @Patrick Only 10? Really? Wow... who knew? I would guess that didn't include Britain, except that teams keep flying over there to play each year... There's a Dane who's the highest... more... - Bette Cooper

In that case... you won't be "world champs" long ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

hehehe, only when they get to be as good as us. :D - Bette Cooper

how... pretentious. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

The best thing about living here? Since legislation states that gun ownership is prohibited, except under certain circumstances, and if I remember correctly, requires the possession of a license, we have a relatively minimal level of (publicised) firearms-related crime. I can't say I've ever seen anyone carry a gun, barring police officers... Although that's probably a topic for another thread. - Tyson Key

Still true. :p - Bette Cooper

It is one of the best things here.. gun crime is minimal.. we just don't want them things... - Rob Sellen :o)

Heh, I actually found something positive to say about my own country. That took some doing. ;) - Tyson Key

lol... see THAT is the difference between us and the Americans.. we are realist about it... not hyping it up ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

New marketing slogan for the "Enjoy England" folks - "England: It's a place, but you won't like it". ;) - Tyson Key

Surely there's more to say about England than 'We have fewer gun crimes, so come on over for tea and scones... you won't get shot'? - Bette Cooper

Yeah, come over and listen to us all moan like f*k about the weather ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

mmm... I'll take 'The Hype' for 1000, Alex... :p If I want to moan about weather, I'll just look outside at the Danish summer, and miss San Diego. - Bette Cooper

"Going up north? Remember to pack a Brita filter, and a brolly, and don't try to use the public transport facilities - they're more trouble than they're worth" - Tyson Key

Why can't everyone just live and let live? Saying that one way to spell a word is better than the other is being nothing less than cocky, not to mention quite immature. What's the point? - ::Kristen::

There is NO point ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

thanks, Kristen, it's one of my favs; I am doing well, holly. almost got to see my neighbor set himself on fire, so that was interesting... - Bren -- Loves Chrimmuh

hi Bren! :* - simple

a bit of excitement to liven up the night! how did he manage (or almost manage) that? - holly

he was burning something in his front yard, using gasoline as an accelerant and the container caught briefly... Kris sprung into action and grabbed an extinguisher, but by the time we got out there, he had put the gas container out. He of course did not stop burning whatever it was he was burning, so we called the fire department and anonymously asked them to come out and make sure he didn't burn the whole neighborhood down. - Bren -- Loves Chrimmuh

sorry, mate! I don't speak either, I just used a translator :) did you say "peace"? - Bren -- Loves Chrimmuh

Also, I thought it was odd that the translator worked, since it doesn't do Farsi, and I was pretty sure you are Iranian :) - Bren -- Loves Chrimmuh

Hello Bren. Nice Mood Lighting. - Brent - Loving Life

Dude, unfortunately Farsi has been combined with Arabic for centuries. Salam is Arabic and means Peace; but in Farsi it's used as Hello. In Farsi, we have beautiful word "Dorood" for hello. - Daryoosh (داريوش)

hey Brent, I have a reputation for living in the dark! Dayroosh: Salam, and/or dorood! :) - Bren -- Loves Chrimmuh

"The election of our first black president has brought with it a strange proliferation of online racism among conservatives. And we've got the latest example. On Sunday night, Dr. David McKalip forwarded to fellow members of a Google listserv affiliated with the Tea Party movement the image below. Above it, he wrote: "Funny stuff."" - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

Unlike - MVB (Grinch of FF) from iPod

Ah, the shoe's on the other foot and they don't seem to like it. For eight years we were subjected to a variety of caricatures of President Bush. Now we're told that to do so is racist. Hmmm. - Craig Eddy

And then they have the gall to call Sotomayor a racist. LOL! LOL!! LOL!! The self-parodying party. - Chrimmus Tad

I wish they'd stop referring to Obama's plan as socialist. It's false advertising. If it really were socialized medicine, I'd be more enthusiastic about Obama's plan. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

And you know what? The only people who get bent out of shape when they hear the "socialist" word are the others in the right-wing. It's lost any punch it had with the middle and the left, so it has no rhetorical effect any more. Every time I hear the word now, I just laugh. Maroons. - Ladybug Heather

Craig, caricatures in and of themselves aren't automatically racist. - Andrew C

Obviously, Andrew. But because Obama is half black, any caricature made could be called racist. Why does depicting him as a medicine man mean it's "racist"? Because most "medicine men" were Native Americans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...) - Craig Eddy

Dude...WTF - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

And for full disclosure, I despise any such depictions of our presidents, regardless of party. The office deserves more respect that this, but it is not racist. - Craig Eddy

Yeah, it is, Craig. - Steven Perez

Can you really post articles about the R's wanting to keep the "rich white man" in power one day and say this is racist the next without feeling a bit hypocritical? - Jered Hofker

"Because most "medicine men" were Native Americans " - and yet the emailer himself said it was depicting Obama as an African witch doctor. More specifically, this is racist because it gets back to depicting minorities as wild savages. Some things simply will not mean the same thing if you invert the race of the depicted person, because to do so ignores the context of racism in America. - Andrew C

Jered - talking about race or racial issues is not /being/ racist, so I fail to see where you've drawn out any hypocrisy. - Andrew C

So racial "blindness" is one way. It's not inherently racist to say that white people are keeping the minorities down, but it's totally targeted and racially motivated when you mock up the most powerful man in the free world in a joke about health care. You're issue picking. I'm not saying it isn't disrespectful, but you're purporting to understand the intent behind why some guy typed... more... - Jered Hofker

If the photo wasn't racist, then why would the AMA need to act on it? - Steven Perez

I could care less what party you're in. That photo looks pretty racist to me. It reminds me of those old propaganda cartoons from back in the day except Obama's skin isn't actually black (#000000). Also, rich white men ARE in power. How is pointing that fact out racist? It just is. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

@Jered: If 'common sense' means thinking that portraying Obama as an African witch doctor is no more racist than talking about how the R's are trying to preserve the system's current biases in favour of the rich, the white, and the male, then you can keep it. - Andrew C

Sorry, I take the "common sense" back. Call it built up frustration at the direction my FF feed (is that redundant?) is going this week. Here's the thing: You say that you KNOW the artist had racist intent because he rendered our President as an "African" Witch Doctor. Then you say that you don't see anything racist about holding a belief that the system deliberately favors whites...... more... - Jered Hofker

From my point of view, at least, the R's and the D's are two sides of the same coin, keeping everyone distracted on superficial issues while moving us toward a mutual goal of control. Hope you'll forgive me for venting. I'm getting frustrated with both sides, here. Also, drinking + FF makes this stuff INTENSE =) - Jered Hofker

The President being black doesn't mean there isn't systemic racism any more. - Andrew C

Given the consistent level of invective that has somehow passed for "humor" concerning this president, I fail to see how this photo isn't racist. - Steven Perez

And quite frankly, I'm at a loss as to why excuses need to be made for people who are clearly not interested in any kind of honest debate about policy, but seem to wallow in juvenile, grade-school antics and then try to backtrack and tell those of us who take offense at their chicanery that somehow it's our fault for not "getting the joke". - Steven Perez

hey, if you don't believe this to be racist, you share as much of a screwed up, ignorant mentality as what fuels this McKalip guy. people like you all need to reassess your values and ethics 'cause you just ain't living right if you're willing to give a pass to these kinds of actions. - Cee Bee

If you think that this sort of thing is okay and not racist, it's time to pull your huge head out of your tight ass. - ::Kristen::

"Given the consistent level of invective that has somehow passed for "humor" concerning this president,"...wait, which president are we talking about? - Craig Eddy

Yeah, I kinda left that one out there for ya, Andrew. Steven, George Bush was consistently the brunt of a similar stature of "humor" (redneck, retard, looks like a monkey, etc.). It's all disrespectful toward both the men and the Office, but it comes from both sides. The people who make those jokes are never interested in a straightforward debate, and, quite honestly, that's probably for the best. Cee Bee, Kristen, that's the blanket hatred I'm talking about. You're contributing. - Jered Hofker

Jered, yes, GWB got a lot of relatively crude insults, but _those were not racist_. I mean, I think the claims that Obama's actually kind of dumb and inarticulate without a teleprompter are stupid, but those aren't racist either. OTOH, this picture is, because, well, it is racist. - Andrew C

And for the record, I'm not saying I never laughed at a GW joke, or an Obama joke, or a Monika & Bill joke. What I'm saying is that I dislike how both sides "dish it out, but can't take it". - Jered Hofker

I never said I wasn't interested in a straightforward debate. I also never said that the caricatures of Bush were okay either, so don't say that I'm "contributing" to anything. Bush was made fun of because he said stupid shit and made up words that didn't make sense. I shouldn't have to explain why this photo of Obama is racist. If you're going to attack our current President, do it in... more... - ::Kristen::

Andrew, I understand what you're saying, but my point was that the level of hate is the same -- they're both extremely derogatory. I'm not sure it's productive to differentiate that on race anymore, but that's probably a different discussion. Edit: Err, at least I think that was my point? I might have to read up -- this conversation is slipping away. ;-) - Jered Hofker

Jered: "They did it first"? Yeah, not a good argument. - Steven Perez

i'm contributing to hate here? nah, dude. you're completely wrong about that. if you're a shithead and think this is justifiable or benign in any way, prepare to get called out on it because it's absolutely not. i'm not about to tolerate intolerance just because someone thinks this contributes to the tug of war between political affiliations. this goes beyond those limits. there's just no room for this kind of nonsense. - Cee Bee

Indeed, Cee Bee. If anyone has to make a single excuse for this, they're the ones who are "contributing." - ::Kristen::

I guess Derrick was right earlier: "Interesting to me that people who often call out the lack of/overuse of the claims of racism are rarely victims of it." - Steven Perez

Derrick ++ then! (and Steven gets the assist) - Andrew C

Kristen, I absolutely agree: It's all counterproductive. Steven, I wasn't going for a "they did it first" there. You'd have to go back deeper than the history I've got. It's a distraction. It happens from both sides. That was really my whole point from the beginning. You've hit a lot of stories lately about the Evil Conservatives and I just happened to pick this particular thread, so I... more... - Jered Hofker

Oh shoot, forgot to respond to Derrick/Steven's comment: That's a great line, but somewhat unfair. A lot of the ones who are MOST sensitive to racial issues are those same people. Also, I have no idea why the AMA is getting involved, Steven. Did a Doctor make the image? =o - Jered Hofker

Clumsy dodge, because it avoids the obvious: the picture is racist, and he spread it. - Steven Perez from IM

Oh, and discovering the boundaries of what is or isn't racist is never counterproductive. Merely not pleasant. - Steven Perez from IM

Oh, lol. The "conservative activist" is an MD. I wasn't trying to dodge; I just wasn't paying attention. - Jered Hofker

Parties picking at each other is counterproductive. Racism conversations are definitely unpleasant. - Jered Hofker

And again: pointing out specific acts of stupidity does not equate to party identity. - Steven Perez from IM

It doesn't, but a guy starts to notice a trend. You're entitled to your opinion and the good moments are still good. I just don't know if you're marriage material anymore? I- I hope we can still be friends. ;-) Have a good night! - Jered Hofker

So much for intelligent conversation. - Steven Perez from IM

Sorry, my mommy always told me not to go to bed mad? I'd like to take one more stab at this, since this guy's having his career ruined (no one cares about that because he's a "*gasp* Conservative"): This guy received this email, clicked Forward, typed "Funny Stuff" or something and hit Send. Despite the triviality in that, we're judging him on it. We're assuming that when he saw that... more... - Jered Hofker

OMG. - rowlikeagirl

" Isn't it possible that he thought "LOL It's funny because this will be the state of our healthcare system"?" Yes. "Possible" in the same sense as it's /possible/ flying monkeys could steal the Statue of Liberty and take it back to Mars, yeah. - Andrew C

Everything is "racist" with this administration. It's one of their tools they use regularly. - Spencer

Such as? Go ahead, I'll wait. - Andrew C

Still waiting... - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

I feel bad for anyone who did not know that was a fake pic LOL - David Gross from email

So says you. :P - ::Kristen::

I use Twitter because nobody I know (offline) uses it, and I enjoy it as a time sink. ;) I've found some interesting people, and had some good conversations there, too (within the limitations of the framework)... Still, like FriendFeed, it's a nice, relatively quiet little oasis without people throwing stupid quizzes and "Which piece of cardboard are you?" "games" around. - Tyson Key

Still, I never bothered with MySpace (I only registered to test the MySpaceIM protocol with Pidgin briefly, and to ensure that my username wasn't squatted, before setting my account to Private and never visiting again). - Tyson Key

This is why the men and women that put on the uniform of this country are a cut above the rest of us. - Robert Hafer from iPhone

I hate war. It's pointless and proves nothing. I have 2 friends over there right now, one who just found out he's gonna be a first time father, and I'd give anything to get them home. - ::Kristen::

that's really hard. :( i cannot imagine living through a single day of what these people and their families are enduring for months and years on end. - Joe Silence is not Santa

they are amazingly tiny. I feel really bad that they didn't get to stay with their mom longer, but we're going to do our best to take good care of them until they find forever homes - Bren -- Loves Chrimmuh

Way. Too. Cute. I want another kitty :) - Ms Penny Claus

So cute! - Vicki

O HAI YOGI! - Steven Perez

Hey Hey Yogi!! - Rachel Lea Fox

Yogi is so sweet I just got diabetes! - BEX

I liked that part where Yogi said "hi". :) - Chris Luckhardt

and there was an older woman with these in a box out front. she was giving them away, as she could not take them with to the senior living facility to which she was moving. when she told me that, I said "I'll take them." She asked "which one?" and I said "All of them." Now we are fostering kittehs until the shelter we work with can find them a home. they are phenomenally sweet, but too young to be away from their mom, really. good thing it's not our first rodeo :) - Bren -- Loves Chrimmuh

sooo awesome and soooo lucky!!! can't wait to see more shots! - Rachel Lea Fox

Fantastic name choices, btw. I highly approve. :D - ::Kristen::

because a) Kris's love for Lou Gehrig trumps her hate for the Yankees, and b) the others are classics she didn't argue against the names. btw, the last group of fosters we had were Jackie, Sandy, PeeWee, Campy and Duke. I suppose the next group (if there is another group) will have to be Red Sox... I suppose I can live with that. - Bren -- Loves Chrimmuh

Couldn't you pick someone with talent? - Alex Scoble

Then that would negate her being a "Pop" Tart, no? - JA Castillo

Christina Aguilera is a "pop tart" and she can sing. Taylor Swift is just your typical "blonde" eyecandy pretending to be a country singer. - Alex Scoble

I have to disagree Alex. Taylor Swift is as good a Country singer as most and she writes some very good songs (especially considering she's so young). - Kenton

In Taylor's defense, she's a better talent than Carrie Underwood! - JA Castillo

eww. - ::Kristen::

talent? let's stay on topic, kids. ;) - Anthony Citrano from BuddyFeed

OK, she's pretty hawt. - Kenton

In a folksy, nerdy kind of way. - Kenton

folksy? Kenton don't you dare ruin this for me. - Anthony Citrano from BuddyFeed

I didn't mean that as a bad thing Anthony. Maybe she needs to appear without her headband periodically and I would be less inclined to use the term. - Kenton

I wouldn't classify her as "PopTart" material: she lacks the apparent superficiality of most pop stars. I'm not completely in sync with celebrity news, but from what I do see, she isn't one of these pop stars who is constantly being hawked by the press and paparazzi over clubbing and DUIs. You know, normal pop star stuff. - Carlton Prest

Anthony, I am going to need to see some evidence of crush-worthiness. Feel free to use the Beautiful Women group if you have to. - Alex Scrivener

@alex scoble: xtina was a PopTart ten years ago. - Anthony Citrano

Upon further reflection and research, I'm wondering if it was a great idea to make this pronouncement based only on a cursory review of an editorial spread in Glamour. - Anthony Citrano

I'm wondering if Anthony intended to admit he reviews Glamour magazine... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Talent is just a crutch for people who aren't pretty enough to make it on looks alone. - Jered Hofker

Jered LOL - Jeff (the マクダジ of FF) from iPhone
