As I said in a thread in the Rough House, it's time for him to go.  He obviously has FAR more problems than wanting to be a woman.

I don't know why it's news either. Whether or not she has issues, is male or female, who gives a fat rats ass? I mean seriously? I'd say I'm apathetic but that would be giving it too much importance. ;D

They need to clear the headlines for REAL news, for example, her former step-daughter is knocked up again. :biggrin:

An article from today's Washington Post ....

How ABC's 'World News Tonight' became a ratings winner

Little by little, ABC's "World News Tonight" has climbed to the rocky summit of Mount Nielsen. After years of also-ran status, the evening newscast has caught up to NBC's "Nightly News," the ratings champ for more than five years. The two programs now jockey for the title of America's most-popular TV news source.

Under Sawyer, "World News" became noticeably softer, with a greater emphasis on celebrity and entertainment stories, weather coverage, crime fare, news-you-can-use and YouTube's hottest videos. The trend has continued, and perhaps accelerated, with Muir, 41, at the anchor desk.

  Most  of these people of this kind do have more problems than me.  Like more money.  :yes:  If it makes him or her happy, have at it.   :yes:  Because I don't give a damn.   :yes:  :tiphat:

"Real news doesn't sell"

You're absolutely correct. We live in a society that shows more concern about which celebrity  is changing genders, getting out of rehab, or popping out another kid than real world issues where people are starving or dying.

Dammit, shit, goddammit, motherfucker, piss...

Offended? Good, fuck you!

Kind of an offshoot to a conversation I had earlier where someone is so offended that the new Maroon 5 song uses the word "Motherfucker". Yes, this was an adult. :rolleyes:

This falls into my "who cares?" column.  Why would someone care enough to be offended? So I asked. I really am more fun to be around than I seem. :biggrin: The response? "I'd just like to have music with values." What? Seriously? So, this band has one song that this person doesn't like and she's writing off the whole band and its music (that she liked previously). She made this decision based on he word "motherfucker".

Blows my mind.

It's just a word. Words have no more weight than the recever bestows. In my mind, the irony is that the song and the word are meaningless but she has assigned this high level of emotion to it, which in the end makes it significant. To her anyway.

When people are offended by profanity and want to start whining about morals, I just want to pull out Carlin's "7 Dirty words that you can't say" and tell them to get over themselves.
