@jbutler, I would like to hire you as my lawyer. I need to sue @DrStrange. He provided no trigger warning in his post about battered women. I once saw a pimp hit his ho and now that trauma has returned. Someone must PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!
Aaaaaaaand now Ken Bone gets the character assassination treatment because he likes porn, said the shooting of Trayvon Martin was legal, had a vasectomy, and made a fake insurance card in MS Paint.
This is maybe the dumbest "outrage" I have seen yet. There is literally nothing wrong at all in any conceivable way with most of what people are complaining about. I can see how some people are bothered by his Trayvon Martin comments, but it's not as if he said, "Fuck him." He just acknowledged that the shooting was "justified" under the law and that Zimmerman is a piece of shit. And does anyone really give a fuck that he forged an insurance card? If he was stuck enough financially that he was desperate to keep his pizza delivery job as he says, I couldn't give a fuck less. Forge a goddamn Nobel Prize certificate for all I care.
Lol completely at complaining about porn or his talk of his vasectomy. How do people survive for an hour on the internet if they're this sensitive?

Disgusting.
The *only* thing that gives me any pause there is the fake insurance card. Not keen on forgery - pretty sure that's illegal - but I'm not about to crucify the guy, particularly since it's not like I've never entered the realm of illegal activity before.
What stuns me is that anyone gives a shit. For all intents and purposes, this guy is just an average, random bloke, same as anyone else. He didn't seek out the spotlight so far as I'm aware. All he did is ask a question, and others elevated him to some overnight star just to see him torn down. Leave the dude alone.
Yeah it's absolutely illegal. His reddit post was in a thread asking members to post the most serious crime they've committed and gotten away with and he said felony insurance fraud. I'll take his word that wherever he is that a forged insurance card would constitute that offense.
But I literally could not care less. Forge whatever you gotta if you're so stuck that you're clinging to a pizza delivery job imo.

First, it is criminal that people in the wealthiest nation in the world can't get health care legally and need to forge an insurance card.
2nd its criminal that the system that accepts insurance cant properly validate an insurance card.
3rd its laughable that anyone gives a shit that this guy did what he had to do to get medical care.
4th forging a nobel prize certificate is no big deal. I'm on board there. Good luck getting any traction with it though.
5th forging a Fields Medal is absolutely unforgivable and possibly life's greatest sin. Don't do that. Solve some math.
That's where I draw my lines. You may now crucify me.

I only have seen the one link on Mr. Bone. I don't doubt that there might be more out there, but quite frankly, what I've seen hardly counts as crucification.
Let me try...
Dear Ken Bone, please dislodge your head from your ass. How the fuck is anyone still an undecided voter? Did you miss Trump's comments that he could go out on the street and shoot someone in the face and people will still vote for him? There can be no more justification for indecision. Does you really think there's going to be a new policy introduced by one of the candidates in the next 25 days? Trump has laid out as much rope as possible to hang his political career, nothing he says will change that. Hillary isn't going to suddenly say something that makes her "trustworthy". The betting is done, we're just waiting for the flop/turn/river. There is no more decision making.
It's apparent to me, that Mr Bone wants to go on TV to get his 15 minutes of fame by being "undecided" He then wants to parlay that into more fame on Reddit. That's fine. Just realize that 15 minutes of fame comes with 15 minutes of the scrutiny that hounds any famous celebrity or media sensation. Perhaps he thought that Reddit would be free from trolls.

The last Blockbuster card I had could be made at home with a laminating machine, so I'm for it.
Crucifixion? Perhaps not. Negging based on absurdly puritanical, overly-judgmental bullshit? Yes. From the left and the right.

Thanks for bringing me back to the forum, jb. The irony when I clicked on the first link.
Only the NY Post could be bold enough to chastise a man about porn and sex and put a sidebar ad in the article like the one on the lower right.

As if this guy couldn't be any less of a douchebag. I guess the Kardashians really do kill your brain cells if you hang around them long enough.

I love Kanye. I love that he said this, too. So many people put on an act so hard trying to be rebels (and obv his act is an act as well), but they will only go so far. He doesn't give a fuck. This is probably the most unacceptable thing he could say apart from actively inciting violence and he knows it so he said it, probably just to see the reaction. He is the pop star version of Piss Christ.
And he still goes into the studio and fucking kills.

Not a Kanye fan. He can't hold a candle to most old school rappers, or Jay Z or Drake or some of the new school, but he parades around like he's the greatest ever and actually believes it. I mean, ok, do that when you rap, but his tweets trying to get tycoons like Buffet to give him money for his "ideas". loltard. Have some respect for yourself.

I respect a lot of Kanye's music, but can't stand his antics. I am now a huge fan. The triggering of butt-hurt crybabies must continue until they grow up. FYI, I didn't vote for Trump.
@bergs: The reason he thinks he's the greatest ever is because damn near every one of his fans is under 30 and telling him he's the greatest. They know B.I.G. and might know Nas, but have no idea who Rakim, KRS-One or Canibus is.

I couldn't identify one "song" he sings...and also have no place in my musical tastes for rap. Always a rocker 100%. I think Body Count had a few good songs but that is as far as it goes for me.
