Well, to be fair, just how much learnin' doya need to make a sammich?

wow, I'm pleased to read such open minded comments.

And you (probably) didn't have to attend the extensive diversity trainings and seminars on human sexuality that are required for my profession as a psychotherapist.

Now, because Kim's appearance is so convincing natural female (and not a transexual one), I wonder if she will even tell adult boyfriends about how she was born.


Yes all very progressive and open minded comments I am pleased as well.

Hopefully she learns how to make a good sammich in that new body.

LOL! I wasn't at work! Where in the heck did that come from?! It's called context! There's social context (black friend knew me, knows I'm not a racist, knows what the intent was when I said it, I wasn't at work, I wasn't around others who might misinterpret it), and then there's the context of the joke, which you can discern that I'm actually poking fun of society often assuming the black guy did it. I'm smart enough to know I'd never make a joke like that at work. I also know it's a bad idea to for example play solitaire at work, too. Does that mean solitaire is an evil thing? OF COURSE NOT! The only thing you're pointing out is a joke like that heard out of context could be misinterpreted as racist because it involves race. I could see my joke being misinterpreted had my friend not known me. I wouldn't walk into a group of people who didn't know me and say the same joke! For that matter, I wouldn't walk up to a stranger and debate economic theory either. Doesn't make debating economic theory wrong! LOL...

Your point is ridiculous in this case. Racism was very often *fought* by comics using similar tactics. Are you suggesting Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder, Jon Stewart, Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Williams, Louis CK, Eddie Murphy, Bill Cosby, all of them are racists?! It's ridiculous. Jon Stewart, who is ethnically part Jewish, makes jokes relating to Jewish stereotypes, so that makes him anti-semitic?! Kevin Smith made an entire movie making fun of Catholicism, and he's catholic. That makes him a Catholic hater?! There's an entire section of culture that has been positive in this regard, and you don't see this?!

If you can't understand that, your brain can't understand context, and what is acceptable in various social situations. The joke I told to the people I told it to, when I told it made everyone laugh and offended no one, and that was entirely expected. In no way was it ever said or implied that blacks are inferior to whites whatsoever. It's therefore NOT RACIST!

You've never heard of a christian husband telling their wife to do something and then she did it simply because he told her to? Uhhhh, Michelle Bachmann is on record saying that her husband told her to become a tax lawyer, and she did it simply because he told her to. That's what Maher was railing about as sexist, and he's dead right about that. That's not as sexist as him telling her, "Go make me a sandwich!" But it is sexist that she had to do it simply because he told her to because he's the husband, and she's the wife. Unless of course, in their marriage, if she told him to go become a nurse, he also had to do it simply because she told him to. But once that happens, that's no longer "wives must be submissive to their husbands". That's "spouses must be submissive to each other". That's the difference.

No, what counts is the intent of the joke.
A white guy walks into Harlem and starts cracking racist jokes and telling the offended African-Americans, "It's OK because my INTENTION isn't racist..." If you told your joke where I worked, you'd be hauled into the Human Resources department and either instantly fired, or put through a merry bout of "Sensitivity Training" under the threat of being fired. You know as well as I do that there is an entire industry based around the reality that racism is irrelevant of intention of the speaker. All that matters that a comment can be interpreted as racist by a passer-by. That's racism under the law, and if you walked into the HR department with a bunch of crap about "intention" as your only justification you'd get your @$$ tossed out the door - and justifiably so. Quite frankly, you should be thanking your lucky stars that the guy you cracked wise to, or anyone else else in earshot, decided not to make an issue of it or you'd be unemployed.
If you can't understand that, then I don't know what to tell you other than your brain lacks the ability to comprehend context.
I perfectly understand the archetecture of the excuses you have constructed around yourself. I simply reject them as factually incorrect, mentally simplistic, and culturally insensitive. If you can't understand that, then I don't know what to tell you other than your brain lacks the ability to comprehend.
That's the definition of a bigot - zero tolerance for the ideas of some others. That's not the same as a racist. Nice try diverting that one.
OK - for clarity... Maher is a bigot AND a racist AND a sexist AND whole bunch of other things. And being 'human' is never a justifiable excuse to satisfy Maher when he attacks people he hates. Humans do lots of stupid things. When they do, they are typically held accountable for it rather than getting a free pass.
If the bible says that wives must be submissive to their husbands, that's sexist!
Put simply, Paul's opinions about women are not "Christianity". He was a unique fellow, who also advocated remaining unmarried - and yet that was never christian doctrine. Regardless, as I said before, I've never once met this hypothetical Christian who tells his woman "go make me a sammich". The strawman is more rare than a fiscal conservative thought in Obama's brain. But as I said, roles assumed by couples are less 'sexism' and are more 'practical reality'.
I'm not sure you're aware of this, but people who agree with Maher tend to be the ones who go out of their way to see him live.
Fair enough. I stand corrected in regards to his audience being stacked purposefully. However, I maintain that it is stacked and Maher would be much more moderate in his crass behavior, bigotry, racism, and sexism if he had a more balanced audience that didn't consist of mostly ideologically sympathetic cheerleaders.
Finally, ANYONE to the left of you, you characterize as a neolib, lib, socialist, etc.
Untrue and hyperbole.
Your characterization of his guests isn't accurate in the slightest.
No - I'd say you simply find it uncomfortably accurate and therefore deny it.

And can someone pass me a tissue? I'm bawling in to my chicken sammich over here!


It's alright, man. We all love chicken sandwiches.

Why isn't this top 15?!?!

And can someone pass me a tissue? I'm bawling in to my chicken sammich over here!

So let me get this straight.

Extra mustard, cheese, mayo, bacon, lettuce (organic of course) and burnt to a crisp?

Light on the mustard, heavy on the cheese. And golden brown does NOT mean burnt.

I think that complaining about petty little things like this depreciates the actual focus on real sexisim, domestic abuse, ect. Yeah I know misogyny exist (I did grow up with that shit) but I don't take every man online seriously when they make jokes about women. I don't know...maybe I'm naive and they really do want me to get them a sammich.

@spoco2 I think it's stupid to make up background about a video (or even worse about someone YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW) You like fart jokes some people like silly videos of young people punching each other in the genitals...to each their own.

I'm done with this baby mama drama...

that's what you call a rock shit sammich. Not even a tab of 250 mics of window pane could've shined on this shitty diamond.

She didn't fuck the entire lacrosse team. There are 42 members on the roster. She slept with 13.
You have no idea what her goals were or even over what period of time she slept with those boys.
[Since when does engaging in sex twice a month with two different partners make you a slut.]
The 3rd definition "venal or unscrupulous person" still implies someone who is willing to be immoral for the proper compensation. i.e.
"Yogi's a comment whore. He'll post any type of comment you want for five bucks and a sandwich."
Again, you're only calling her a whore because it's socially acceptable.
Which is prejudice and shitty of you.


It pleases me that I bother you this much. Also no I'm not. You don't know me I look down on men who do the exact some bullshit...I'm an equal opportunity hater....or I'll hate for a sammich

@GenjiKilpatrick

...what kind of sammich?
