Well d'uh.

Which of course brings us back to the great big point of the OP. The one that went way over your head. Bono, has spoken out strenuously about what he believes to be hate and racism. Then turns around endorses something that could be easily labeled as such.

Do I have to explain moral relativism to you too?


I'm sorry, but this is like the pot calling the kettle black.

One who practices moral relativism negatively pointing out someone elses moral relativism.

That may be the post that CB was referring to.

Though CB would rather cut his left arm off instead of admit it, he quite clearly considers the song as hate speech. My original opinion stands. He should get a job with CBSC...he would fit in well.

I see nothing wrong with calling Boy George or Gerorge Michael what they are. If they weren't fags then there might be something to get upset about.

And I'm talking about some post that I missed of his. CB assumes that if you don't respond to every one of his posts it is because you can't or don't want do (ie - he's handed you your ass again...I notice he has this thing for asses)

Bono is a old boomer fart,

does he even have that many fans under 30? He doesn't even have 40,000 fans on Facebook. My generation thinks he's a smugged face hypocritical environmentalist. Bono is essentially the epitome of what I hate about the boomer generation.

"Yo Dudes save the environment and stop flying! peaceee" - Bono, zipping around on a private jet and hanging out in resorts in Africa.

I can't see how, I support free speech, full stop. I may dislike what someone has to say, and voice that discontent using hyperbole, sarcasm and so on, but I have no inclination to stifle anyone from speaking their mind.

I think you've erred Gh.

Though CB would rather cut his left arm off instead of admit it, he quite clearly considers the song as hate speech.
Not at all. As I have already explained. If you weren't suffering from serious cognitive and comprehension iissues, you wouldn't keep making the same erroneous ascertain.

It isn't my definition of hate speech. It's Bono's himself. I do not support hate speech laws, for various reasons.

My original opinion stands. He should get a job with CBSC...he would fit in well.
It's as wrong now as it was then.

To say I'm not surprised, would be an understatement.

?????????????????????????????????????? "I" was talking about Bear being a relativist.
Cannuck's severe cognitive and comprehension issues, allows most opinions to pass by well above his head Gh.

And I'm talking about some post that I missed of his. CB assumes that if you don't respond to every one of his posts it is because you can't or don't want do
Not at all. I didn't assume anything. You simply refuse to acknowledge posts that disprove your accusations.

It's no big secret. It's something you do all the time, just as Joey did. It's become predictable and well known.
(ie - he's handed you your ass again...I notice he has this thing for asses)
I would say "handed you your head, seeing as for you, they seem to be interchangeable parts, but since you seem to spend the majority of your time talking out your ass, virtually speaking, I figured it was the most appropriate form of descriptor.

Hang out at a hostel in Victoria, smoke pot and "stick it" to the man?
They did that 40 years ago too which would make it the norm. To rebel they'd have to get a PhD and buy an acreage on Saltspring with cash instead of credit?

What's with all this ass fondling?

I don`t think so, actually, I know I haven't. Well, you have the whole weekend to think and contemplate on it.

There are to many asshats to play with to give it that much attention Gh.

Seriously, just spit it out, I'll admit it or defend my position. Whatever it calls for.

My position is, freedom of speech for everyone, full stop.

I hope you aren't confusing off the cuff hyperbole or rhetoric used to exaggerate a point.

No, I didn't even try it.
You should never give up before you try lil Joe. How will you learn and rise above your disabilities?

Gloves? No gloves? How about a stolen Bonanza dinner tray?
No glove, no love...
