  1. Considering the source, is that one of those high pitched farts?

    You've brought a lot with you back to the forum. "I know you are but what am I?" Etc.

  4. Private thought and speech is not against the law , but Sterling is to an extent a public figure and the public has the right to reject him and his thoughts , like they did Romney.

  5. There was none of that in my absence? And how is it not a good thing if it brings you anguish?

  6. Not the same. To quote Kareem Abdul-Jabbar:

    Shouldn’t we be equally angered by the fact that his private, intimate conversation was taped and then leaked to the media? Didn’t we just call to task the NSA for intruding into American citizen’s privacy in such an un-American way? Although the impact is similar to Mitt Romney’s comments that were secretly taped, the difference is that Romney was giving a public speech. The making and release of this tape is so sleazy that just listening to it makes me feel like an accomplice to the crime. We didn’t steal the cake but we’re all gorging ourselves on it.

    This is not like Romney because Romney's speech was public and as such there was no expectation of privacy. In this case, the girl's lawyer was quick to state that Sterling asked her to record all conversations because he is senile, thus overcoming California's two party consent wire tapping law.

    I never said there was. But it was not unreasonable to think you might have matured some during your absence.

    Anguish? Lol.
