I think it's retarded that posters would call out other people on baseless grounds throwing around words like "racism" based on the kind of music that they post about. ESPECIALLY in a forum that caters to black/r&b/women. Cleary this person likes that "sound", whether you like it or not.

My opinion is also that it was stupid of you to highligh part of Fighting's retort, because we all know who you were talking about, just because this perosn happens to post a lot about r&b music. And I also don't understand what you're calling people out on? Liking one kind of music? Believe me, this poster and I (don't worry Nas--I mean, poster, nobody knows who we're talking about) have had a long history of disagreeing over musical taste. (I have long tried to convert this person into a semi-rock/indie/whatever fan).

If it's such a big deal to you, go ahead and block his posts. It's not hard.

God, dildo10 lol another long, boring, useless post. Lemme stop before I get banned lol but anyways I thought the whole convo was over with. I guess you like reviving old, played-out subjects. I'm not replying anymore, but I"m sure you can't help but to reply so proceed. Why don't I just block your posts ? Yeah, that'll be cool.

I know this is probably a very popular opinion, but I'm really sick of this back-and-forth.

I like how people don't get that bildo is a play off of dildo. Just like Mariah, my humor is lost.

How did you know I was talking about you!!!! Good comeback, too, by the way. Very well thought out. Although, you won't say anything since I'm blocked from you now.

Yes, it really is. Also, sort of what you were talking about before, I have no idea what tomk did this time to get banned, so I won't comment on that. However, I know he got banned one time after saying the n word, and I guess he got banned for saying that. Now I don't like the use of it at all, but I didn't really see anything majorly wrong with it since I thought it was tongue in cheek compared to a lot of other posts around Gold Derby where I've seen other posters called bitches, stalkers, racist, dildoes, unamerican, etc. some of which were very serious which I found the most offensive of all and some that were tongue in cheek also. I think that if one person gets banned for being tongue in cheek for using a derogtory word or words than so should all the others.

Here's the post in question,

quote:

In the immortal words of Helene McCready:

"Nigga* please."

*Please don't shoot me; I am only quoting the Oscar-nominated performance.

I don't really know the back history of tomk that well other than some posters refer to him as tomkkk, so maybe his use of the n word even in a tongue in cheek sense should have got him banned. However, if it's only because of his criticism about Jennifer Hudson getting him the nickname of tomkkk, I've seen quite a few posters insult her in a very demeaning way that never get called on it or rarely get called on it. All the pig or King Kong jokes. Sure she's a big girl at least compared to Hollywood standards, and while I loved her singing in Dreamgirls, I'm not so sure she deserved an Oscar since her acting wasn't that great. She wasn't even my favorite on AI her season because other than her last few performances, I thought she had an attitude and was the lesser of the three divas since Fantasia had personality and a unique voice and while Latoya may have been personality free to some, she was professional to me, and knew the best out of the three what worked for her voice. I also think that she needs a stylist to work with her because most of the time on the red carpet something is not quite right about her outfit. However, saying all that all the fat jokes and the King Kong jokes and jokes along those lines, which I think disguise a thinly veiled racial agenda worse than anything I've seen tomk ever post about her, make this site and all the posters here look even worse and immature than it already may have appeared in the eyes of outsiders.

I'm gay and black and I hate it when a black person or a gay person cant take a joke when it's being said by someone who is white or straight..All of this racist and homo-phobe bs needs to end.

As someone who was been recently warned about being disrespectful to other derbyites I know why tomk was banned. He is not respectful to others. You can be passionate about movies all you want but the fact remains if you can not conduct yourself like an adult you should be banned.

Call it a crime, call it wrong, call it whatever fits, at the end of the day everyone should treat others respectfully and if you can not do so you should not be allowed to participate.

Word.

Be careful what you wish for.

Another set of unpopular opinions.

1. Renee Zellweger was excellent in Chicago. However, she really didn't deserve the Oscar for Best Actress that year.

2. David Cook gave the best performance last night, however, people are way way overreacting that it's the best they've seen on the show.

3. I know I'm involved in one but this whole fights are getting tiring. Every thread won't be complete with some off topic discussion that will certainly ruin the whole thread.

4. It's annoying too that people joins in a conversation having fake knowledge on the topic. When it's pretty obvious that they barely know anything but then they talkas if they're an expert of some sort.

5. Miley Cyrus should go to Neptune immediately.

Miley Cyrus is annoying.

Lindsay LOhan isn't hot anymore.

Umm....moving on.

Oh and why was tomk banned again?! Just wondering.

I think MrTalented is no different then a viewer of BET, for example. I don't mean that as an insult, cuz' I watch BET. But I doubt the majority of people that only watch BET like music outside of the R&B/Rap field. Not sure I'm making sense, but I think you guys get what I mean.

I get what you're saying, and I'm not insulted at all.

However, I am FAR away from the description of the "average BET viewer." I listen to country, certain pop/rock acts, and some jazz, as well as AC; these are styles that the typical BET viewer does not listen to or like. I've expressed in the Grammy forums (on several occasions) my disdain for what BET has become, considering what it once was. I watch BET scarcely these days. I'm a whole lot different from what the average BET viewer is, but considering what most discussions are about in the Grammy forum, there's not much outlet for less mainstream styles to get attention.

Now...a few more of my unpopular opinions:

1. Beyonce & Fergie are underrated as singers.

2. Even though she did make Oscar history with her win, Halle Berry is not the best African-American actress around these days like most believe. Is she one of the best? Yes. The best? No.

3. Brooke White should've been sent home last night. Her rendition of "Hero" was horrendous.

4. Davetta Sherwood should get her job back on Y&R; she's a better Lily than Christel Khalil.

5. Michelle Stafford and Peter Bergman both deserve Emmy nominations this year; Christian LeBlanc does not.

I think watching TV is a huge waste of time. I think most would be better suited reading a book.

Carbohydrates should NEVER be cut out from the average diet, in my own pseudo-medical opinion.

"Organic" foods are dangerous because reducing pesticide usage in many places results in the perpetuation of diseases caused by parasites that are allowed to live!

Foreign hands trying to "aid" developing countries end up doing more harm than good.

Communism, in some instances, is not such a bad thing.

Thai food is disgusting.

The schooling system is less about actual education and the aquisition of knowledge, but more about producing mindless, loyal Capitalists.

Gay pride events are counterproductive.

I don't like how they put yogurt or coconut milk or just regular milk in some of their curries or stews. Yuck.

The only thing I can tolerate is Pad Thai sans nuts. I don't like my pasta dishes crunchy, thank you very much.

^ LOL! I'm taking note of that one.

i think that
"there is not bad words, but bad thoughs"

I dont like when people forbid the use of a word, or music.

I was shocked to people reactions in austria when i used the word "nazi". Come on... that applies to the word that start with "n".

I also was shocked when a jew friend of mine told me that "WAGNER" is awful and he made a big scandal when he heared that in another friends house... Man, before behave as a crazy, you should explain people, maybe there is a reason...

I do love BARENBOIM...
