Bill Maher’s a fucking old piece of bigoted poop, yet people on these Message Board take the guy seriously enough to be actually recurring viewers, and talk about him on ‘The Weekly’. Nothing against that, really. He is a public figure who, I suppose has some sway.
He’s always so serious on stupid shit his pot-addled brain can conjure up, like when he was seriously thinking Opera would be someone the Dems could get behind for President. And he complains about kids and there video games, Vaccine skeptics. He’s a serious man who definitely shouldn’t be taken seriously.
I think John Oliver’s show is so much more worthy of our time. I suppose I’m kind of testing those waters out. It may be more difficult to contain all the stories he’s covering in one place, but I think it’d be at least beneficial to give these stories a birthplace here, where people can see where the topic of discussion originated from, and perhaps become viewers themselves.
We’ll see I guess. But if this thread has no legs, but neither do half of my threads anyway. I’ve hardened my heart to seeing (what I perceive to be) some cool ideas that never get their footing here
This week’s LWTwJO was about Cops and Traffic Stops. Every time I’ve had interactions with police, even if I’m the one who’s called them, they remind me that they’re not “looking to serve and protect”, most just want power, I think… You simply can’t trust them. It’s like ‘Men Vs Bear’ thing. “Good cops”? I don’t know? Why don’t they step in when bad cops do their thing?
I can’t relate to the race component, but it’s just, even as a white dude, Cops are almost always in the back of my head whenever I’m driving. Ugh… I truly dislike so many of them.
Thoughts?
Any concern about this type of thread starting, for any reason?
Thank you! …and Maher looks like the type of old guy who’ll be sculpting action-figures out of their own poopies.
Edit: Sorry for any spelling mistakes, or my grammar. I’m so ready for bed!
