Missed the mark again, Milkmouth. I've said Reagan was the best President in the past half-century, and possibly the past 150 years. He is not God.Cap'n Cat wrote:You're right, T. Pot, kettle kinda thing.travelinman67 wrote:

I'm a Christian. I only believe in one God, and he doesn't run for political office or have a TV show.

Cappy, shouldn't an enlightened progressive such as yourself be open to different opinions and perspectives regarding the movement rather than ragging on TTBF like the Democratic Underground did to Jon a while back? Requiring blind obedience is a sure way to splinter the movement.

Cappy, I'm trying to have fun too but there you go excluding me. Some big tent you got there! A couple of dozen people standing around slapping Mr. Happy like a bunch of 6th graders with their first Playboy.Cap'n Cat wrote:UNI88 wrote:

Hey, Slappy McSlappington. We're trying to have fun here. AGS calls you.

A few years ago he urged us as Americans to "be more cynical," so I did just that – starting with Bill Maher. And in honor of that smug fucker, I'm going to use that goddamn hateful coffee cup smiley.
You're right, it was VERY risque for the times. His whole show was like that. I have seen some old re-runs, but my Dad saw that particular episode back in the day and remembered how outrageous it was and how there was no outrage because Mrax could just get away with that kind of thing. Dad still talks about that show and that's why I knew Maher had ripped it off the moment I read it.JoltinJoe wrote:Groucho's use of the line is far more risque and clever.
How did that get past the censors of Groucho's day?
As for Maher, that's the only really funny line in this piece.
Intimidation is the sole reason for disliking others...you're fuckin' killing me.

Do you expect every comedian to stop their routines to cite sources? They all rip each other off.JoltinJoe wrote:This is what pisses me off about Maher stealing Groucho's line.CID1990 wrote:

Groucho Marx was a friggin' comic genius ... but he lived in a black and white era, when production techniques aren't what they are today, so many people just aren't inclined to watch his films. How many of us of watched Duck Soup, or A Night at the Opera, or Horesfeathers?
If you're going to use one of Groucho's line, be decent and throw the guy an acknowledgement. He's a giant of comedy and comedians of today owe it to him to educate their audiences about Groucho. How hard would it have been for Maher -- who obviously knew the source of his line -- to say, "To paraphrase Groucho Marx, I love my bong ...." No less a funny line, and you do honor to the memory of one of the all-time great comedians. Instead, Maher was just a thief who stole a line and pretended it was his.
This isn't the first time someone has stolen from Groucho; it happens to Jackie Gleason all the time too.
Maher, as Arnold Diaz would say, "Shame on you."

I see how this works. God doesn't exist, because He was made up by man. Then try to lay blame on said man made God. So, logic dictates that Man is the one who is killing the innocent. Well, correct me if I am wrong, but haven't most of the killings lately been by Hitler, Mao and Stalin? None of those were made up by anyone.D1B wrote:travelinman67 wrote:

Hey, St. Tman, big time christian, you ever read the bible? Well your god loves murdering children!

I expect comedians to be original and, in those rare occassions when they borrow, to acknowledge it. Passing off someone else's line as your own is plagiarism.D1B wrote:Do you expect every comedian to stop their routines to cite sources? They all rip each other off.JoltinJoe wrote:

Well, D, I know how this goes. D1B will claim that although Mao, Stalin and Pol Pot were atheists, they killed not because of their atheism, but because they were communists. And then he will claim that communists are more like religious people than atheists. Thus, the mass slaughter which these atheists committed had nothing to do with their atheism.SeattleGriz wrote:I see how this works. God doesn't exist, because He was made up by man.

The made up God has directed the killings of only thousands compared to the real men who have killed multiple millions. Let me recap. Some burlap wearing long hair with sandals says God told him to kill everyone and that cuts the mustard in regards to genocide thousands of years ago. I can see how that would compare to the three largest killing atheists of all time.
A dusty hippy on peyote vs Hitler, Mao and Stalin.
GOT IT! Thanks for clearing that one up!
Next.
