This is crazy

Posted: Nov 26, 2014

Since when are we supposed to show respect to criminals? What is this country coming to? http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/entertainment/20141126/US--Ferguson-Brooks/ ;

I can't tell if he's upset by the GJ decision or - upset by the violence

Garth's cancellation of talk show interviews is unclear to me. He says his appearance would be "distasteful." Distasteful to whom? The rioters are mostly African American, and as a rule African Americans are big country music fans.

I meant to say "not" big country music fans. - sm

I corrected my last sentence.

he didn't say he was upset - sm

He said: "To spend the day promoting our stuff like nothing was wrong seemed distasteful to me."

Why on earth are you bringing African Americans into this?

Why - Well, duh

[ In Reply To ..]
Just look at the pictures and videos. They're the ones doing all the rioting and looting.

excuse me? - sm

I was responding to the poster who brought into the equation that African Americans are not big country music fans.

Whether or not blacks are fans of country music is hardly relevant to Mr. Brooks' sentiments.

I got the impression - distasteful to the rioters

"seemed distasteful to ME." -- Garth Brooks - sm

I don't understand what's so crazy about his remarks or why so much time is being spent trying to interpret them.

Garth Brooks We Shall be Free - sm

I think he was disappointed in the process and no indictment.

Maybe - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Instead of promoting himself he should be promoting for people to start acting civilized.

Yeah, this is crazy. These people rioting are doing it because it's fun for them.

What is this country coming to? Never in my life would I have ever expected a person sitting in the seat to promote violence and not even talk to the public, tell them to respect the laws in place, go home and calm down.

the person sitting in the seat is not promoting violence - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
He has indeed spoken to the public and urged peace. He has condemned the rioting.

I think he just doesn't feel like doing talk shows. - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Garth is only hurting himself by cancelling the appearances. Maybe he just wants to spend some time at home and is using the Ferguson fiasco as an excuse to cancel.

I was referring to Obama above, not Brooks - sm

I was responding to this remark:

"Never in my life would I have ever expected a person sitting in the seat to promote violence and not even talk to the public, tell them to respect the laws in place, go home and calm down."

I think this is a reference to the president.

In terms of trying to dissect or interpret the meaning of what Brooks said, I think he spoke plainly and unambiguously. If he needed an excuse to cancel, he has a fleet of people to do that for him.

The president doesn't respect laws. Why should anyone else? - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
He's attempting to give free reign to 4 million plus ILLEGAL aliens. This from a so-called constitutional law professor. Yeah, right.

He was never a constitutional law professor. - Another lie.

I'll remember that when posting. Thanks for the info.

Nope, just wondering - Opinions are good

for 12 years, during which time he taught Con Law III.

He did not accept full time position and tenure track with U of C as he went into politics.

I didn't know anything about that, but since - we are on the subject -

of Garth Brooks, there has always been something about him... something I've never been able to pinpoint, but just something creepy about him that affects me on a gut level, and the hair stands up on the back of my neck whenever I see him on TV. I really don't know what it is. I like country music for the most part, though don't care for his either way - don't hate it, don't like it. It's just bland. But HE just creeps me out for some reason. Anyone else get this reaction from him?

I wonder how many of you out there have had a spouse go through what I can only describe as a middle aged crazy. My husband of 23 years has been a motorcycle enthusiast for many years, but recently decided to join a "patched club" and is now the vice president. This has been for a couple of years now and quite frankly, I don't like it at all. I don't like the way they all have stupid nicknames, that their club business cannot be discussed with the "women" and that at the drop of a hat ...

He's old. He grew up in a time (Great Depression) when you didn't have therapy (not like today), PTSD, flashbacks, the whole understanding of abuse, alcoholism, Asperger. etc. He was abused as a child. He said he liked to hang out at his grandparents next door (who didn't really speak English that much), because with his parents, he'd get yelled at, "Goddamit!" and the back of their hand to his head. So he'd go have coffee and donuts at his grandparent ...

He was so hateful during his last stint in Congress. Did people forget how bad he was? He really had gone off the deep end. I can't believe he was voted back in. By who? Young people who never saw his antics? People who didn't want to spend time splitting votes and just hit straight D? A serious question: Why did they call the election for Obama around 11:00 or so, when some states only had 3% of the vote in? That doesn't seem right to me. What do they do--put a time ...

In Oregon, a state known for its avid bicycling culture, the state Legislature’s approval of the first bike tax in the nation has fallen flat with riders. Democratic Gov. Kate Brown is expected to sign the sweeping $5.3 billion transportation package, which includes a $15 excise tax on the sale of bicycles costing more than $200 with a wheel diameter of at least 26 inches. Even though the funding has been earmarked for improvements that will benefit cyclists, the tax has managed to irk ...
