Is it alright to insult someone if they’re an awful person?

Let’s assume you think Rosie O’Donnell is an awful person. It’s alright to insult her for being awful, not for being overweight.

Donald Trump is a vile person but I never insult his appearance.

I wasn’t thinking it was Rosie.

Spit it out then.

Schumer.

Why do you think there’s a mistrust of the news in the first place?

IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE SAW IT.

And this is the most important thing. If they’re willing to brazenly lie about such an insignificant thing, how can they be trusted on anything that actually matters?

The press should not ignore easily disprovable statements.

I don’t think it should be ignored, but it’s already been disproved. Trump was wrong, the end. I don’t think there should be a continued focus on it.

It’s time to face the facts: the Democratic Party is broken and the corporate, establishment wing of the party is responsible. Republicans now hold most state legislatures, most governorships, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the presidency. So in 2018, hundreds of Justice Democrats will run a unified campaign to replace every corporate-backed member of Congress and rebuild the party from scratch.

I’d say I agree with about 90% of the platform. If you’re interested, please do check it out.

Seemed cool until I got to the anti-gun bit.

*sigh*

Can’t be perfect.

I’ve only gone to a theater by myself once. Realistically there’s no point trying to find a group since you shouldn’t be talking during the movie anyway.

That’s a good point, I’ve gone to movies with friends, and they sometimes won’t stop talking for a certain bit of time.
Luckily that hasn’t happened too many times. The only reason I go alone is because the movie movie is 3D, and no one really wants to go see it. Also, I usually go to screenings with reserved seats, so those are normally with AVX, IMAX, 3D.

It’s the same thing with going to concerts, it’s sometimes really hard to find friends to go with, or their musical preference is complete different to mine.

Reserved seat theaters are great. They generally cost more, but I think it’s totally worth it, being comfortable is a huge part of enjoying the movie.

I don’t understand why people want to fire her. Fire her for what? Making a joke? That’s her job. This joke was in poor taste, but we can’t fire every comedian that makes a joke that lands flat or hits a soft spot.

EDIT: I’m no longer responding to Frink but to the hypothetical people who do want her fired.

Welcome to the world of fair game. When people in the public eye say unethical things about a child, the company has every right to relieve her of her post.

Those sentences seem contradictory to me. If it’s a world of fair game, it’s fair game for company to fire someone for joking about Barron Trump because Barron isn’t fair game?

If it happens to other public figures it should happen to her.

It shouldn’t happen to other public figures. There shouldn’t ever be big witch hunts against people because we don’t like what they’ve said.

And I certainly did not consider what she said a joke.

It was.

I find this to be completely irrelevant. That’s not his fault, and unlike Trump’s other grown children who have been part of his campaign and his administration (to lesser extents), Barron is 10-years-old and has no involvement in Politics whatsoever. There’s zero reason to talk about him in any way on Twitter.

That’s true. As I said, I really don’t know how to feel about this. The only opinion I’m sure of is that she shouldn’t be fired.

Ugh, Barron Trump should not be a target.

Already posted about it.

I’m having a hard time forming a strong position on either side, probably because I actually thought the joke was funny. On one hand, Barron Trump is only like 10, and he may(?) be on the autism spectrum. On the other hand, he’s the son of the most powerful man in the world. I suppose it all comes down to whether making fun of Barron is “punching up” or “punching down”, or whether or not you subscribe to the “punching up/down” idea at all.

My big problem is with the people calling for her to be fired, it reeks of hypocrisy. All these anti-PC right-wingers immediately flip the script because it’s someone they like being joked about.

I would’ve respected Trump so much more if he had just come out and said;

“It’s true, my inauguration was less attended than President Obama’s, and for a number of reasons. President Obama was a very popular figure, and his inauguration was a historic event. I have no illusions about my popularity, I’m aware that I’m controversial, and I believe that many of my supporters were afraid to attend because of the possibility of riots. Not even a mile away, rioters lit a limousine on fire…”

His ego will be his downfall.
