no, matthew, that was not what i meant when i said madonna was a bad example:
what i meant is that she has built her career around the ability of folk like you to get offended---she has made millions off people like you, reacting just like you do, saying exactly what you are saying here, getting in a froth, repeating her name over and over.
because you, and folk like you, are great advertising,
you dont charge much.
you get very snippy.
you talk about how very snippy you are.
and by doing that you spread the word.
if you prefer nice innocuous inoffensive art, there are plenty of people who paint seagulls flying over ocean waves you can look at and plenty of people who sing nice up with people music that you can groove to without getting in a flutter about it.
buy that.
consume that.
in capitalism, this is what passes for freedom, so exercize it.
but yours is not the only preferred commodity world, and so you will just have to learn to put up with people who think and do and say things that you dont like. too bad.
last point: what possible objection to vulgarity--not to mention a rather meek political commentary--could a venue manager in some vegas casino possibly make? the place is the epicentre of vulgarity---it happens at such a scale that it almost defies the imagination.
not an appropriate venue?
a casino?
not appropriate for what?
are you kidding?
this is idiotic.
buh bye.

I'm sorry, but I can not read that and not think roachboy isn't being rude. His other posts atleast kept a civil tone, but I think he got out of hand with this one. You say to not ascribe personal attributes to other members to ME, but no such warning to roach boy. And just what, exactly was he doing here? He refered to another member by name, then said "you, and people like you" then made generally negative comments. I was only pointing out what I felt was a slight to matthew330 simply because he disagrees with roachboy's viewpoint.
But I digress. I will no longer post in this thread, and will no longer read roachboy's posts or respond to them. If this post gets me banned, then so be it. I will be sad, but I had to get that off my chest.
