Thank goodness for the NL DH -
PC? I mean, a year or two ago Ricky Gervais was all but accusing everyone in the crowd of consorting with pedofiles. Should everyone have taken umbrage such that they physically attacked him? C'mon. You hold yourself out as a Christian - there is a proper response and what you're hinting at ain't it. Getting on stage and engaging in violence against a 4 foot tall 57 year old is 100% not okay. Smith is a clown and clearly needs to grow up a lot. Total embarassment.Originally posted by Gregg View PostMore American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.Comment

Nope. I said he could have handled it better.Originally posted by Bene Futuis View Post
Ate you engaging in whataboutism? Gervais example has nothing to do with Rock. Plus Gervais was taking to a whole group not one innocent individual.
As for me I was being transparent. As for my Christianity I truly try to walk Jesus, but I still need a Savior because I still get it wrong sometimes. But there is hope for me. I am so much better than I was and not as good as I am going to get.Comment

Ahhh remember the days in this forum when making a joke about someone's wife caused universal outrage and scorn, how times (and members) have changed.Originally posted by Gregg View PostIf I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

Maybe it's what was said, how it was said and who said it that makes it an outrage.Originally posted by Bene Futuis View Post

I think Will Smith's assault was an act of cowardice perpetrated upon a much smaller (and a little older) man because Will Smith is emasculated and hurt by his wife's behavior. There should have been criminal charges filed against him and he most certainly should not have been permitted to remain at the ceremonies. His speech was disgusting - “In this time in my life, in this moment, I am overwhelmed by what God is calling on me to do and be in this world.” But hey, maybe Jesus overturned that pesky sermon on the mount business and is now calling upon people to refrain from turning the other cheek.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.Comment

So it was that ONE incident that made you consider him a clown. One choice in a lifetime of choices.Originally posted by Bene Futuis View Post
The guy made a bad choice. He was obviously confused/conflicted on how to respond afterward as was evident in his all over the place rambling speech afterward. There's history and context you're either ignoring or believe to be irrelevant. there were many others at the show who showed support for Smith after the incident, possibly further muddling his wording during his speech.
No one knows if he felt emasculated, if he was responding to Jada's reaction or ANY of his motivation for the outburst. We can assume, quote pundits, but only Smith knows why he did what he did, even then he might be unclear in the aftermath.
Rock has chosen not to press charges--Smith has nothing to do with that choice--Why would he choose not to?
The producers/directors of the Oscars chose not to remove him from the show--again not a choice made by Smith. Why didn't they?
I guess I'm just surprised by the level of your outrage at Smith over one incident.
Have you never made a bad choice in your life? Been an embarrassment in public?
I certainly have and as such choose not to vilify others for doing what I have done.
Could Will Smith have handled it better? As Gregg mentioned--. But is it wrong to defend someone you care about even in a physically violent manner? As Gregg also said--I agree Smith could have handled it betterSame goes for Mrs. GITH, though seeing as I'm already crazy--I'd just call it--Business as usual.Do not hurt Mrs. Gregg. I might have to plead temporary insanity.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

I'm assuming she banged him.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.
