So Rappy starts a thread, shouts a few insults at people that think differently, we prove him wrong and he disappears?

What kind of crappy thread is this anyway?

Mike,

Thanks. I knew karma wouldn't allow me to get through that post without a major fuck-up. Still, it caught me, that's a word you can't misspell without two things: 1) Not being able to pronounce it in the first place, and 2) Not following politics during 2003-2004. Makes me re-evaluate the poster is all.

As for West, well, for a while his machiavellian tactics were working, a google search on taylor swift would bring up taylor swift kanye west as an autocomplete. That's attaching yourself to some coattails.

Reminds me of a conversation with my brother who is far more hip than I am:

We were talking about underground music, and the nature of rebellion, a few years back.

Him: Gangta rap is the punk of today

Me: That call is like a decade late, country singer Taylor Swift is the person that no adult has ever heard of, but every kid has on their mp3 playlist, even if the boys won't admit it.

Him: Nonsense, I've never heard of her and I've heard of everyone.

Me: Look it up.

Him: Okay, when I got to "ta" in google I was offered "Taylor Swift" as my first autocomplete. I concede the point. An awful lot of things begin with "ta"

Yup, basically. If you're over 30, you don't know WHAT the "punk of today" is. It could be punk again, for all we know! Or Justin Bieber.

Meanwhile Kanye keeps attaching himself to people more popular, famous, and relevant than he, in an effort to keep him popular, famous, and relevant. It seems to have worked for any number of Kardashians...

Where was I proven wrong? Kanye did indeed apologize, and said he was sorry to Bush.

What's all the fuss about ?

Yup, that was my point. Rappy likes to claim that "Bush never lied" and hangs that on a whole lot of basic technicalities, like it's not *really* a lie if he didn't KNOW it was untrue when he said it, or it's not a lie if you BELIEVE it, etc. (By the way, Rap, I *believe* you're a racist. Am I lying?)

So I wanted to hold him to the same standards he sets out for others. Kanye never apologized TO Bush FOR calling Bush a racist (and he never actually called Bush a "racist", either; he said "George Bush doesn't care about black people.")

No, brainless, it's not a 'basic technicalities', but the very BASIS of what makes a lie, a LIE!

You're not lying, you're wrong.

And that's the crux of it. Bush may have been wrong, but he didn't lie.

And as for Kanye, you know I'm right on this, even if he didn't state EXACTLY the words you wanted him to say, but since you're too small a man to admit it, we'll just leave it at that and move on.

It's not that George Bush doesn't care about black people, or doesn't care about people, it's that he has no idea how to solve people's problems. He's put in charge of them, and then gets advice from an incredibly corrupt crowd of cronies, and the result is a heckuva job. But it's not ill intent, I feel fairly confident in that.

With this I would tend to agree. Also, illiterate and uneducated in the English language.

As to Abu Ghraib, I just didn’t bother. Haven’t written it more than a few times, and looking it up wasn’t worth the effort; everyone knows what I mean.

I too can hear Buffy saying “agree-ish”. Quite clearly. Can’t put Wash’s voice to it, tho’...

I agree with Mike, but I’d say “a typical Crappy Rappy thread”, just for fun.

Tripped over something when I actually bothered to read Wulf’s last posts. His method: Insist you were write, through in a few epithets, and you’re done. Something to remember when I’m stupid enough to refute him; that it’s a total waste of typing time once it's been done...once...to refute it for the benefit of others.

Who thinks the President is really in charge anyway?

Ever seen Yes, Prime Minister? ;)

Mmmm...always reminds me of a line from a Robin Williams stand-up routine way back when: "Trying to hold Reagan to account for what happens to the country is like blaming Ronald McDonald for the state of your cheeseburger" (not verbatum, but you get the idea). Point taken.

So, a 'typical' thread by me, where i present straight forward facts, and then the usual suspects ignore reality, and engage in childish, petty ad hominems, which are irrelevant to the primary issue ?

On that, we can agree.

No. Show me where Kanye says "I'm sorry". or "I apologize" to Bush. He didn't.

"I'm sorry for the..." For the what? he never finished his frikking sentence.
Lauer:Do you regret it?
Kanye:I don't want to speak on regret.
Traslation: HE ISN'T SORRY!!

Sorry you can't tell between a true apologetic person, and an attempt to gain more press.

...or someone who DOESN'T feel he needs to apologize and is trying to explain why his choice of wording was wrong but he still believes the essence of what he said. He kept pausing to think of how to say what he wanted to say, and Lauer kept pushing him to say "sorry". Which he did not. Ever. Jeez.

See my post above...why bother further?

See? Now you've made it an even MORE typical Rappy thread.

You've come in and accused everyone else of doing exactly what you do here, every single day (when you aren't quitting and running away, of course): Ignore the facts and reality, and engage in childish, petty ad hominem attacks which are irrelevant to the issue.

It's all you've got; it's all you know.

On that, we're all agreed.

The modern definition of "socialist" is anyone who's winning an argument against a tea-bagger.

Wasn't there an 'ignor Rappy' thing going on for a while? That should be re-instated.
Rap, would it kill you to at least acknowledge that we may be right instead of coming in, making a blind post and bolting. IT makes no sense...you're just treading water.

Be a human being for once, and you may just become someone credible, someone to be counted. Until then, your just back peddling in the backward sea of
trolling.

You can not know what it is and still know what it isn't. My definition is simple: It's the music that every kid has pirated, but none of the songs have ever made a mainstream media hit parade list.

Eventually, of course, they will, but you know this has been going on for a long time, for an older generation it was pink floyd or the greatful dead.

So whatever it is today, it has not been pushed at us by the MSM. When the MSM discovers it, they will copy it, and make plastic replicas, and stamp it, sell it, market it until it's no longer cool.

Story - already did. Read the thread, watch the video.

Take your own advice, be human, for once, and move on.

Nothing more need be said.

Remember what I said about blind posting?

You don't even know who your addressing.

I really understand now why everyone says it's impossible to have a rational debate with you.
You're a tool.

Sorry, but I couldn't resist; from time to time I see people writing stuff like that, and it never gets through, it never WILL get through.

Kane and Whozit love their verbal masturbation; they're not HERE to communicate, simple as that. Some things will NEVER change.
