Yeah I figured it was one of the stories about a black teen embracing the confederate flag and being offered a spot in the K.K.K was one of the few giveaways:ninja:

Even with all of the odious things said by Trump, Jeb Bush is still Jeb's worst enemy.
Weirder than Bill Cosby admitting in a deposition he gave quaadludes to women that weren't his wife?
Ugh, I'm really sorry I defended him in any sort of way when the first initial rumors of that crap started coming out.
SInce at this point its really obvious its not one crazy nutjob, but actually something he did. A lot.
For decades.
I don't know how badly you defended him but people shouldn't be convicted in the court of public opinion. Until this story came out everything was just a he said she said getting a ton of media attention because Hannibal Buress made a joke.

If he had said Viagra it'd be one thing but Quaadludes?

It's amazing how South Carolina is having less problems getting things done over the Confederate flag than other states.

Goddammit, this has to be the first rape joke I've laughed at in ages (OK fine actually two years).
Fucking props to you I guess.
The joke was unintentional but yeah what good is sex if your partner isn't into it?
You might as well be humping your pillow if you like your sexual partners unmoving and silent.

That's honestly depressing and terrifying.
but not at all surprising.
It's awesome what are you talking about.
Just when the Republican candidates needed and clearly wanted to try and maybe start moving with history (specially after the Glorious Week).
Along comes Ding Dong and riles up the racist id of conservative america and forces the party to once again face what they are and created.
Throwing them once more into chaos and doom.
And also shining a big ugly light on that same racism in the process. Trump is forgetting to use the dogwhistles and that's actually a good thing.
snort Ding Dong? That's fabulous.
So apparently Alexis Tsipra's government is in hectic negotiations for a deal with their creditors to take on more austerity measures for a bailout package. He is approaching the table with a weakened hand rather than a strengthened one because Greece is desperate and, well, the creditors are not, and all the referendum did was piss them off. So much national pride was put into that vote it almost hurts to see it all end this way. Alexis's embarrassing backpedaling is going down in the history books unless he manages to work out a miracle deal.

carter was telling me that apparently one of the politicians who argued the most against the flag was a descendant of Jefferson Davis

@Monkey:

That's the big thing out of all this; instead of couching it in things like "We need to secure our borders" or "People who cut in line shouldn't be rewarded with citizenship", it's "Latinos are rapists" and potential voters in that party are responding to it positively. Sure, it's just one poll but others have put Trump well up the list.
It'll be interesting to see how the RNC handles this from here on out.

Only a matter of time until she's called a race traitor or is turning her back the memory of her proud Confederate ancestor.
The latter will be especially amusing since Davis himself didn't think secession was a good idea because the South couldn't win a war against the United States and there was no way that it would be a peaceful process.
Lol. I'm on a hotel computer at the moment and it won't let me visit the most recent page of this thread.
What on earth could you all be talking about that requires blocking.
Hrm. Rape and racism, I guess.

Maybe it's Outerspec's post about the Greek economy.
I'm sure you said something witty Ubiq. I totally can't read it right now.
Maybe I can change how many posts are shown per page and get around the filter that way.

Depends on your definition of witty I suppose.
I'm definitely not suggesting a bunch of people quote your last two posts just for the sake of making you wonder what the hell is going on.

You can't talk about the Union. Only we can talk about the Union.
Seven years after he accused the Catholic Church of being "a tool of subjugation", the President of Bolivia, Evo Morales, received the Pope in an atmosphere of renewed confidence and sharing of social concerns, but with a gesture that has everything to be more talked of the importance of the visit itself - during the reception at the presidential palace in La Paz, Morales offered Francis a sickle and hammer with a crucified Christ.

I did no such thing; if anybody is to blame, it's Robby.
And as of that post, I can load the page.
What the hell did you guys DO on page 314?
Guess I'll find out in a week.

Not much really; the first couple posts were about Cosby, the next few were about how being a racist dick is apparently paying off for Trump, a couple posts about the Confederate flag, and one about the Greek economy.
Then your post about not being allowed to view the page; again, unless your hotel objects to austerity measure discussion, it must have been the posts about Cosby or even talking about racism as a concept.
I think the hotel has a problem with pages having hotlinks on them. Bizarro adblock or something. Oh well.
I can assure you it was in fact my post about the Greek economy.
Good to know that women who work for religious companies can still have access to contraception coverage.
Cosby talked about drugging women on Larry king in 1991 and nobody thought anything of it apparently

Don't they call this the 'Jimmy Saville' approach where you put on a "creepy uncle" persona that will have people think "oh damn did he say that but he's so affable!!! No way could he ever actually be like that! :)"
And later it gets found out you were actually a creepy uncle and people go "ohshit well fuck you you magnificent bastard"
Or as Ian Hislop put it, "It's a brilliant disguise: you dress up as a pedophile [more like creepy rapist in Cosby's case]"

Cosby never came off like a creepy uncle, he came off as a benign (increasingly crochety) father figure.
Jimmy Saville was a raging neon billboard sign of creepiness, and his crimes far far far far far worse than even a serial date rapist like Cosby. That his grave hasn't been dug up, shat in, and had his corpse sent to a garbage disposal is the greatest shame the United Kingdom has on it's shoulders that it could yet correct.

That just shows how hypocritical of the world we live in. I would like to say what I think of Bill Cosby but my writing is going to look like I'm starting up a controversial flame war. Let's just say I hope the court deal with this and not try to earse him from history.

Saying Saville is extremely worse than Cosby is not a defense of Cosby whatsoever, or an attack on how he's "being treated".
What you're missing from this conversation is that I'm saying serial date rape pales by comparison to a celebrity serial raping/molesting literal children and teens, some of them hospital bound patients he accessed through his own "cheritable" programs.
So uh two things before this possibly blows out:
I'll concede to Zephos that it was a foolish false equivalency on my part.
Looks like poor Robby's not going to be able to see another bunch of pages at the hotel comp, lol.

Actually I'm not defending Cosby, I'm only trying to be careful not to start a controversy. People (rightfully) jump on Cosby but not Saville really does not make any sense so that's my point here. So I'm being simple here and yeah I agree on what you said

People dont/didn
t jump on Saville when the stories of him sexually abusing children came out?? I dont buy that. I mean, the guy has been dead for 4 years, and a lot of the horrible things he did only came out after he had passed away, I think, so there isn
t much anyone could do about him anymore. But if he were still alive, I`m pretty confident that he would be rotting in some jail right now instead of his grave.

Joe I don't think you've heard of Saville until my post, and haven't heard anything else aside from what you said.
If you're reacting purely out of "Why didn't I hear about this until now" it's because he was British.
Iran nuclear talks have come through…basically and a provisional deal is expected to be announced Monday. I believe they're still ironing out the final agreements but we'll hear more about it Monday.

I'm sorry, it appears that i'm not doing much research and never heard of him until now. When I saw his name and you describing him and saw how his body was never touch upon. Reading his page on Wikipedia tells me that while he was alive there has been few alleged case against him, he manage to brush it off and after his death the whole thing blows up. I'll be careful next time yet I still love to post here.
There were quite a few allegations against Saville during his lifetime but the BBC actually seems to have ignored or actively covered them up.

The talk about Saville was edited out by the BBC originally, right?
