A Farewell To Family Guy's Brian Griffin

I saw this the other night, I thought is was just a Gag!
Was the plan to kill him off for good?
I thought they would just bring him back in the next episode or something.

Why is it when men get excited they purportedly "scream like a girl," but when girls get excited they never scream like a man?

Obvious gag from the start and mean, but it's fortunate she was good-spirited about it.

Okay, I'm up to speed. This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. They're in the middle of rushing through the gagging laws which would effectively stop activists and protests. They have stopped all but a very few cases of legal aid, so if you're poor you're not now entitled to justice. Cameron and co. told people last week if they're truly faced with putting food on the table or heating the house up then "Put a jumper on." And on and on and on...

They're not bothered about hiding anything anymore, that's all

What's the deal with Cameron these days?

Even he is not ignorant enough to believe that he can just wave around D notices without getting his ass lit on fire.

Of COURSE it's subjective, it's an opinion.

Did you think I had something against him because he died young? Or did drugs (I didn't even know he did)?

Farley simply wasn't that funny. He was, at best, a one note fat gag in other peoples movies. On his own, he was just awful.

This is not a controversial opinion. Look at his movies. I'm sure he was a nice enough guy, but there is no way he deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as any of that list.

@ChaosEngine: Unless you were merely disagreeing over the validity of their comedic acts. In which case, that's your differing opinion and NOTHING short of subjective.

MSNBC PSA - All Your Kids Are Belong to Us

enoch says...

@VoodooV
dont be too harsh on our boy @blankfist at least he has us talking about some pretty important issues.

if we do not discuss the hard issues and deal with truths and only hold onto our own biased ideology,then nothing gets accomplished.

i do not subscribe to blankies capitalistic unrestricted free market position.
i have been learning much about the free market and it does have some substantial strengths in many regards.

the problems arise,in my opinion,in regards to societal responsibility.
unrestricted capitalism makes everything a commodity.
and some things should NEVER be considered a commodity.

so i am against the privatization of schools and commodifying children.
and for those of you who wish to berate me for my position allow me to point to our current prison system:prisoners=commodity

now by me saying this does NOT automatically mean i am in support of our current education system.
i am not.

the system we have now is a bloated and stagnating beast which does little to educate and everything to indocrinate and create obedient workers.

and who is blamed for all this?
the teachers!
of course!
bind their hands,gag their mouths,stifle their creativity and crush their imagination.

and THEN turn around and say "there...theres your problem.the teachers".

so @ blankfist is not entirely off the mark when he infers or implies that it is government that is at fault.

because they are.

the real question is why?
now i am wading into postulation waters here but this is what i suspect.
1.the american government nor corporations wish to have a truly educated and informed citizenry with critical thinking skills and the ability to consume data and form rational conclusions.
people with those abilities will always challenge power.

they would rather have a docile and submissive public that does not question authority.
best get em while they are young.

so it doesnt matter if the schools are privatized or publicly funded.
they BOTH seek the same results and will BOTH be/are equally corrupt.

and most likely BOTH will blame the teachers for a perceived failure.

because BOTH will ignore,either knowingly or unknowingly,the systematic failure of HOW they teach children.

no longer is art taught.
nor civics (at least not where i live),
nor the humanities.
they are teaching these kids to be systems managers,not free-thinkers.

i believe that education all the way up and through to higher education should be a public responsibility.the investment will pay dividends greater than anything put IN to the system.
i am not going to list them all,just think about what a well educated citizen can bring to table.
see:finland

because at its heart,its essence,is not society a collective practice in community?
there are some things that should never be socialized.
education is not one of them.

money is not the problem.
teachers are not the problem.
its the SYSTEM and how it teaches,that is the problem.

remove the politicians and the special interest from the equation and allow the actual educators to do their jobs.

instead we have turned teachers into baby-sitters and schools into factories of the banal.

what a disgrace.

I just read Alan Rusbridger's comment on this mess and the following was more than I can take at 8am:

And so one of the more bizarre moments in the Guardian's long history occurred – with two GCHQ security experts overseeing the destruction of hard drives in the Guardian's basement just to make sure there was nothing in the mangled bits of metal which could possibly be of any interest to passing Chinese agents. "We can call off the black helicopters," joked one as we swept up the remains of a MacBook Pro.

GCHQ thugs destroying Guardian property on Guardian premises -- I did not expect it to escalate this quickly. The fact that Rusbridger published it on the blog section of the Guardian indicates to me that some sort of gag order was placed on the Guardian and that he stepped up and did this at his own risk.

Makes you wonder what kinds of data Snowden liberated from the NSA: the recipe for soilent green?

Larry The Cable Guy: Blue Collar Conservatism & Gay Rights

Jinx says...

So let me get this straight. He's complaining that people complain too much?

If the status quo mostly benefits you its might be quite easy to tell everybody else to stop complaining about things that have no impact on your own life.

America does a lot of things right. It also does a lot of things wrong, and you won't change any of it by zipping your mouth shut. Its a good thing that you can complain without being gagged, that you can worry about more complex social issues instead of just about the next meal.
