Slarti Slarti Slarti...

I watched the HBO Bill Maher show for three years... Slowly I realized how empty and shallow his rhetoric is, how inconsistent his views are (let's legalize all drugs, but at the same time let's make the state the most powerful entity on the planet; let's accept all people and all view, but at the same time let's treat all religious people as idiots who can't think).

Now I can't stand him.

Really Slarti, Bill Maher? I would've expected someone slightly better... Like any random baseball player at least...

Well I don't like baseball. LOL

Attack Bill all you want but I suspect with that level of hatred you don't watch him anyway.  I've been watching him since his Politically Incorrect Comedy Central days and I mostly agree with his opinions.

I think it's telling that your political philosophy says nothing about policies or issues but only about the particular party you think should perennially be in power.

Bill Maher is a fraud. I can't stand him.

Bill Maher is just f**kin terrible. He even beats Stewart for being unfunny and douchey. Oh also I have no idea what he "stands" for. Libertarian supposedly but seems like a generic, and mindless, liberal to me. Which is fine, but the guy just has no idea.
I'm for legalization of drugs but Maher should lay off em when going on TV....

Also guess this is appropriate because it involves PAUL. Also I know Maddow is terrible too but at least she is pointing out the fact that...well these delegates Romney has "won" aren't all there. Also I love the constant references to Goldman Sachs moneyLOL

OK, this sums up my political point of view better than anything:
"There is a big difference between a disappointing friend and a deadly enemy. Of course the
  Democrats are disappointing. That's what makes them Democrats. If they were any more
  frustrating they'd be your relatives. But in this country they are all that stands between you
  and darkest night. You know why their symbol is the letter 'D'? Because it's a grade that
  means good enough, but just barely. You know why the Republican symbol is 'R'?
  Because it's the noise a pirate makes when he robs you and feeds you to a shark.''

^Oh that one would be too easy, just substitute all the first four pics for one of a totally lunatic man, leave the fifth one though instead of the flag and the people leave one man and a dog in the boat, and leave the last one intact...

Now in FoxNews they are all crying because last night in the grammys someone had a song about exorcism and a coreography to match, this supposedly being an offense against christians and catholics (mostly) and an "abuse of the first amendment"....

Gosh... No wonder people believe anyone who watches that channel is mentally challenged...

Gotta love Tom Woods. I'm tempted to take one of his online seminars/classes one of these days.

MoM's would be the null hypothesis. Slart would be the one who needs to provide evidence.

I'm not saying it's crazy to think, but I think pretty clearly the burden rests there. I can see reasons both ways for a metropolitan area. From my personal experience growing up in a poor Irish neighborhood next to a poor black, poor Spanish, and poor polish neighborhoods, I would say that familiarity between the areas bread contempt (not with me personally).

Slarti has a point.  NYC is a cosmopolitan era with a different diaspora than Western Pennsylvania.  MoM also has a point too though in regards to population.  So you need to regard both of those.

Ok, I take your point that the term is now inextricably linked with it's negative connotations BUT:

From Wicki (I'm not suggesting this source as proof but just another perspective)

A ghetto is a section of a city predominantly occupied by a group who live there, especially because of social, economic, or legal issues. The term was originally used in Venice to describe the area where Jews were compelled to live. The term may refer to an overcrowded urban area often associated with specific ethnic or racial populations living below the poverty line. From a statistical perspective, ghettos are typically high crime areas relative to other parts of the city.


When I said historically, I was referring to the US use of the term. Sorry that's a bit narrow of me.

You can say the word had pejorative connotations from the beginning, but it can be used in merely a descriptive context, as I was doing.

You're leaving out the likelihood that racists don't concentrate in NYC because it has too many people of color.  Once again historical amnesia is a wonderful thing.  As people of color concentrated in the cities there was white flight to suburbs and beyond.
 
 
There are racists of all color.
It would go a long way toward marginalizing all racists if we could accept the principles of equality through liberty.
