Nobody other than you brought race into this discussion. You just can’t help yourself.

Whether it's funny or offensive is entirely subjective. That's the point. A joke we don't personally like isn't an 'in' to physically attack the comedian on stage.

You have again completely forgotten your own view and have conjured up a new one. You said "I'm not condoning the slap to the face (I'd have done worse)". So you stated that at minimum you would have punched Chris Rock in the face for a joke about hair. AKA violence.

You dislike people highlighting contradictions in posts made today, so of course the hilarity of saying that you don't like a comedian (solely because it completely goes against your current point) when you've previously posted an entire hour long routine of theirs in a 'Comedy Greats' thread escapes you. The "and said they were not great" is completely made up just now to prop up a laughable claim. It didn't happen. You're either intentionally making stuff up or a fantasist, as this behaviour is on repeat.

What's the point? I don't care what comedians you like, it's just nice when someone claims to hold a view, that they either actually do so that it can be argued against, or that it makes sense in relation to their other opinions. It makes zero sense for you to be suddenly indignant about this comedian's act (when it's tamer than those you very clearly enjoy) or to suggest that violence is an acceptable reaction to it (but not others).

Your ephemeral arguments are designed to annoy rather than discuss. To most, assaulting a comedian on stage for making a joke (aka his job) is ridiculous behaviour that there is no excuse for whatsoever. If Will Smith wants to assault comedians for making jokes, he'll now have countless opportunities to do so over the coming months and years. With this joke getting that reaction, God help him unless he wises up. I'll end this back and forth on that note.

Agreed....he nailed it.

Am I incredibly shallow or is this stuff just boring now?

Maybe Hollywood has affected me after all.

I see

Yet my response was merely an observation of fact, hard to understand how it can be silly.

Race is always in the conversation thanks to your fixation. I can see you are suffering having to 'endure' so much.

You really do have a problem.

Genuinely I am sad for you but also it annoys the sh*t out of me how your personal fixation becomes the theme for a whole site.

If only you could learn to live with - maybe even sometimes enjoy - differences and just be respectful of the feelings of others.

Perhaps try going on holiday overseas sometime and practice that. Qatar has the lowest crime rate in the world, maybe you can go to watch the football.

I just wish you would do something, anything, to distract yourself from your continuing pain. Which may stop you BEING such a pain.

It's all Ricky Gervais' fault

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

Well that never stops anybody, everyone does it(its the HOL way)

I think you've got a 'cunning plan' on the way

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.
