Yep, definitely seems like a prick to me.

>> ^spoco2:

@DrewNumberTwo (and @kymbos), in @conan 's defence I think the problem that he and I have is not only that he did those things (although it's a pretty huge part, assaulting people purely based on their race, and to the point that they are blind in one eye for life is pretty horrible), but more so that he seems to be all good with it.

"He said the right thing to do would be to try to find the blinded man and make amends, and admitted he has not done so, but added that he was no longer burdened by guilt: "You have to go and ask for forgiveness and it wasn't until I really started doing good and doing right by other people, as well as myself, that I really started to feel that guilt go away. So I don't have a problem going to sleep at night. I feel good when I wake up in the morning."

He spent 45 days in prison for attempted murder, has not made any restitution to the actual people he's wronged, and yet feels good in himself.
That and his insane tough guy comment about 9/11:

"If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.'"

And from interviews and the way he seems with others, he still has this tough guy dick attitude towards people and a self image of god like ness.
Don't like the man at all.
You can say that I've never met him, and he may be a nice guy in person, but from all accounts, all he's said, all that's seen of him, he seems to still be the thug he was, just with more money and with a family now.

Well you're taking him out of context...meaning that you forgot he's from Boston. So, for a Boston hooligan, he's a nice guy.>> ^spoco2:

Don't hate Mark. He's a sweet guy...>> ^Shepppard:
Meh, I think my hatred of Mark Whalberg is keeping me from enjoying this clip.


Yeah, no... he's not:

"When he was 16, Wahlberg approached a middle-aged Vietnamese man on the street and, using a large wooden stick, knocked him unconscious (while calling him "Vietnam fucking shit"). He also attacked another Vietnamese man, leaving him permanently blind in one eye, and attacked a security guard (again using racist language)."
"In another incident, the 21-year-old Wahlberg fractured the jaw of a neighbor in an unprovoked attack"

And then recently he's of the opinion that he could have saved the plane load of people during 9/11:

"If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn't have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, 'OK, we're going to land somewhere safely, don't worry,'"

And I just don't think he's lost that aggressive nature from his early days either, or his self righteousness. He feels he's found god and is absolved of his wrong doings, but really... not so much.

Hey buddy you alright? How's your mother?

>> ^ant:

That looks like fun. We should do that with VS members. I will be the guy with the switch.


You clicked the sarcasm button by mistake there I think.

Oh yeah a basic knowledge of geography is so boring! one country, two countries, two countries and a made up region, whatever. The north of Ireland is donegal although who says 'the north of ireland'??? Derry is in northern ireland.

Agree with the general sentiment about Irish women, they are all kinds of awesome. Theyll eat you up but youll love it.

>> ^Quboid:
Not to get political, but she (and I) are actually from Londonderry, not Derry, and it's in Northern Ireland, not the north of Ireland. If you mean Ireland in the geographical sense, as in the island of Ireland this is correct but this typically refers to the country, the Republic of Ireland.
It's a touchy subject and this topic has a little bit if history; where Graham Norton was brought up the city would have been referred to as Derry and places in Northern Ireland as being "in the north" without acknowledging the whole "terrorism" "one of the longest armed conflicts in recent history" "British occupation" can of worms.

If she says she's from Derry, she's from Derry. Also, I can't say that I've ever heard anyone use the phrase "North of Ireland" referring to the northern area of the Republic. The North/Northern Ireland/North of Ireland. I was typing out "she's from the North", as that would suffice locally, but this is the internet, so I just added the "of Ireland", thinking that nobody would be anal enough to correct me!
