About 15 to 20 years ago we used to contribute to these at the Emmys and Oscars.  They got so out of hand we said no more.....and that was a long time ago.  It’s so over the top.

Yeah, it’s tough to stay away from the incredible life lessons the Hollywood winners lecture the world on at the podium....I sure hope to hear the highlights.

You have made it abundantly clear you like to be the one doing the lecturing.

Speaking of the Oscars, last night produced the hottest of takes I've seen in some time.

Jon Miller
@MillerStream
A man named Bong Joon Ho wins #Oscar for best original screenplay over Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and 1917.
Acceptance speech was: “GREAT HONOR. THANK YOU.”
Then he proceeds to give the rest of his speech in Korean.
These people are the destruction of America.

(checks Twitter profile, sees BlazeTV,  ::))

He then doubled down and said it wasn't about race or language, but that it was a movie that promoted class warfare and other movies were more deserving, this just won cause it was "woke".  Its a fantastic movie that was good enough to overcome subtitles which turn most people off.  Yeesh

I have a minor in East Asian Studies from Marquette, first student in MU history to achieve it

I attended the University of Kansas for a Masters in East Asian Languages and Cultures in 1992-93.  Earned MS later at IU in mid 90’s.

You can apologize at any point now....funny how you and others pretend to know someone and you haven’t a clue.


I loved Parasite, also 1917.  No problem with either winning it.

Good day

"these people."  If that isn't a dog whistle I don't know what is.  ::)

It's weird that you assume JWags post was about you and even ask for an apology, when you're not mentioned in his post at all.
Guilty conscious or just the usual NPD?

WTF are you even talking about man?  I referred to you in no way and you didn't even post after Pakuni's comment about it before I replied.  I'll happily accept an apology for you coming at my throat for something that I have absolutely no clue what you're referring to and that I didn't even remotely come close to engaging in.

Based on his past history attacking me it isn’t weird at all.  I also thought, incorrectly, that checks = cheeks. 

Not a guilty bone or conscious in my body....I sleep just fine at night without the woke hypocrisy by so many.  Do what I say, not as I do should be the slogan emblazoned with so many.

Past history attacking you?  I haven't directly engaged you in months other than a single post joking when you missed a joke. Acting like im some board antagonist is some next level stuff.

Of course you can't quote my post and apologize for assuming for reading a completely common word and interpreting it as bullying.  Nope, im just the a** and you're the victim.  I'd love to know the hypocrisy I must so clearly demonstrate around these parts.

Be completely wrong, refuse to acknowledge you are wrong, and double down on being an a-hole. Unreal.

You see, he is backed into this corner, and he KNOWS HE IS WRONG.  But yet, he is incapable of saying, "whoops my bad".

Had to load the excuse cannon first, which he never forgets to fire.
