Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

I thought this commentary was good... excerpted from: Greater Good In Imus Exit May 5, 2007 Stan Simpson ... Imus' planned lawsuit keeps his name in the news. The repercussions of his ouster, however, are more noteworthy. The hiring of Whitaker at NBC is significant. The media's long-standing shame ...

Morning Doreen, I read your replies over again this morning, with fresh eyes. Personally, I went to bed last night feeling good about all that's taken place, because of all that's been worked through. It does comes down to respect; but it's how we have different ways of showing and expecting our res...

mnaz - Saw your posts and I have no replies. It's late, I'm heading off to bed. ~later everyone~ Oh - Doreen - you posted when I was ... I'm adding this edit. I read your post. I think we're actually making progress. Yes ~ scrabble is like life. Lets sleep on it and see where we go in the morning. -...

First off, I'm not going to go through your post and answer line by line. I don't have time to do that. I certainly understand that ... I know how much time it took. I did it for you because you asked me too because you felt I handn't heard you. Or, that's how it sounded to me. I take full responsi...

Doreen, think this is the post you're referring to, the one you wanted me to reply; it's only I didn't reply to, so that's why I think it's this one. So, here's my reply ... Deb said came, passed a judgment about people you care for, and further more my judgment was/is that they've came up short, an...

I knew I shouldn't have replied again. I already said what I wanted to say in my first 2 posts to this thread. Those are the posts I was hoping you'd reply to. Here's my judgement about you... You're judgemental. I don't like it. Shrug. Yes ... shrug. Perfect. Just shrug it off. I don't like a lot ...

HOW DARE YOU!! Even begin to compare the possibilities of my passing textual "abuses" with your repeated unambiguous character assasinations in this thread, Deb. You should know better. I know you know better. Enlightened is as enlightened does, at some point. Dig it. Boy do I know that feeling. I'...

OK well I was hoping you'd at least acknowledge my opinion that when you judge people, they get insulted sometimes Yes they do, and sometimes it hurts like hell to be judged as well, especially when we're resistant. I know from experience. I also know from experience "that which doesn't kill you ca...

Deb.... I'm just wondering why you haven't even acknowledged my posts or mousey's posts. Not that you're required to or anything. Just wondering why you haven't. :) Busy saturday; I'm posting off and on between other things happening. Hench all the typos in those last few posts. I did finally get t...

But this subject matter; sexism, racism - It's too goddamn important to allow it to remain in the dark; under the carpet; out of site and out of mind; just because it makes people uncomfortable, or they don't like how or what I'm expressing. Too Important! I'm out of my own comfort zone doing this,...

Well, the ends don't justify the means, not now nor have they ever. You lambaste Imus and his ilk. Paint Hester, mt and sooz with an unkind brush in the name of all that's righteous and holy. I lambast Imus, and posted my thoughts of h,c & s; and I do understand how it hurt/can hurt and thus be see...

It really is "all good!" Why yes it is... isn't it? Will you stop shooting now? Here's relevant article I ran across... http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1609490,00.html I have to post face, I have someone waiting: mnaz, all the places where you said "you tell me" - I already have told...

Smoooch!!! Exactly. It's been tolerating, and now that is all changing; it's n longer being tolerated as it once was. Defend this statement. What exactly is "no longer being tolerated"? Using the word "ho"? Only certain people of certain races of certain ages using the word? What spasmodic wellspri...

Well I hope mnaz that you don't quash that passion and conviction. For goodness sakes don't anyone tone yourself down. Shall we all become as drones? Each of us has our space in which we move. We interact in our own indubitable style. The fur may always fly. But if we can just give each other the b...
