Still shocked and disgusted at this. Although if you’re looking for a silver lining, if there was ever a time to get shot in the leg, it’d have to be when you’re REALLY stoned…

-1 for the “line thou shalt not cross” concept… but, +1 for owning up to and apologizing for the spelling and grammatical errors. I really appreciate when people understand writing in a public forum (even BuzzFeed), needn’t be written in LOLCat.

What I find deeply troubling here has nothing to do with the Onion, Quvenzhané Wallis, or the “C-Word” - it’s how willing so many people are to get behind the concept of censorship as soon as the speech is something that offends them. Free speech means all speech, people - there is no “line that you just don’t cross”. Yes, people will occasionally say some stupid, ignorant, and offensive things. The Westboro Baptist “Church” has made a career out of it. The best thing you can do is not to scream, and panic, and demand takedowns, apologies, and censorship, it’s to write off the comment as ignorant and go about your day.

Q: “Why do atheists celebrate Christmas?”
A: “Have you ever tried NOT celebrating Christmas?”

Idunno… he seems to have accomplished pissing YOU off pretty well…

It’s fascinating how the mudslinging starts as soon as someone insinuates that Obama may have continued certain Bush-era policies. True, there’s a bit of cherry-picking here (and the items listed are waaaaay far from the worst things Bush ever did), but by and large, yeah, Obama has indeed made extensive use of drones, killed American citizens without trial, and failed to close Guantanamo. And while (even though I didn’t vote for him in the last election), I think Obama is WORLDS more qualified to be President that Bush was (then again, a drunk hamster is more qualified to be president than Bush was), it might do Democrats and Republicans some good to consider the fact that “their guy” might not be the saint that they think he is.

As an avid supporter of marijuana legalization and vehement defender of first amendment rights, I’m absolutely appalled by this. The man is either an Andy Kaufman level genius, or he’s gone full on, Michael Jackson crazy. Goofy B.S. about overdosing on cannabis aside, stuff like this is why so many people fight legalization - they don’t see responsible adults making their own informed decisions, they see clowns like this guy endangering children.

Yeah, that would be the Queen… OF ENGLAND! You know, that country that my fore-bearers (and probably yours) gave up their LIVES so as to NOT care about who is Queen over there? I’m not trying to be snarky to you specifically - this is a pet peeve of mine. Caring about the British Royal family is barely relevant if you’re English. If you’re American, it’s downright offensive. At least Tom Hanks has contributed something to American arts & culture. I’ll take him over the Queen of England any day.

Yeah, cause if anyone knows how to take a joke, it’d be the Taliban.

Ah, the late 40s… when smoking was so cool that you even did it in your headshot.
