On the bad taste scale OJ Simpson rates a perfect 10 - Page 3

Fox has limits on how low it will go???? First time for everything!

I guess Rupert guessed it wasn't worth the trouble and problems this would have brought him. I wonder who's head is going to end up on the chopping block??

This is the most tastless stunt I have ever seen on this mud ball called earth! Furthermore, they should have called it "This is how I did it". The man is guilty as sin. After he was aquited,OJ stated he would spend his time looking for the killers. I hope the killer is on the golf course because that is the only place you find OJ Simpons. It is a crying shame that they would consider this program irregardless of what the families of the deceased would think. Futhermore, there was a feeble attempt of those that would carry the program would donate any monies to charity. How insensative of the networks to attempt to make this OK if monies are given to charity. What a joke and what has the world come too?

Yup. There was no other option in this case. All boundaries of the tolerable, acceptable and respectable were crossed. This project and this book if carried out would diminish all of us, all of humanity.

Eh? It would hardly "diminish" "humanity" any more than the act of murder. Is it that a famous person is doing this? I dont understand your point. Is humanity a single entity, and can one part diminish the whole?

argh i hate hyperbole

TteFAboB · 12-18-06, 08:03 AM

If you accept the possibility of the murder to be considered diminishing then any extension of the murder itself is an extension of the diminution. If this project would be more or less diminutal than the act of murder itself is arguable, but the scale is not exponential: being diminutive even by the smallest degree would already be enough to add to or even increase the original diminuent level pushing the total amount of diminution higher.

One part can certanly diminish the whole as happened on the day of the murder, two less individuals in a strict mathematical sense. Of course, humanity has not shrunk by two, maybe this is where the confusion comes from: the final net amount has not been diminished at all! The outcome is positive, but diminutively reduced. Humanity as the quality of all members of the human race can also be diminished by a single person considering this person wouldn't have been able to do any diminishing if it weren't for the inaction of everybody else for example. But that was not the case here. There are more people involved. I do not posses the omniscience required to tell you precisely to what extent the net result of Humanity as a quality would've been affected by this case but I suppose that as Dave Grossman, author of "On Killing", says it definitely wouldn't be good to further desensitise people towards killing.

Tchocky · 12-18-06, 06:22 PM

Dont worry, didnt expect onmiscience

I just dont think that there is any identifiable entity called "humanity', that's all. In a biological or anthropological sense, maybe, but usually "humanity" is used as a emotive, loaded term which to me is a little spurious.

Mel Gibson, move over.

Saw mel in an interview the other night with some US interviewer on 20/20. Spilling his heart out and trying to redeem himself which i think he really meant he was sorry at what he said. I think he should be given another chance we all make mistakes can't hold grudges foreva. Besides if he got up and said Its all the Black mans fault or the American Indians are to blame would ppl be outraged? I doubt it very much. How i saw it, Hollywood is run by a lot of Jewish ppl, and he was really taking it out on his bosses The movie Moguls of Hollywood whom are jewish not nesscessay the jewish race. If Hollywood was run by Asians he would of said the same about them.:hmm: Still it doesn't give him the right to say what he said. But an Anti Semite, hes not. If he is then i am and alot of us are.

What on earth has being Jewish got anything to do with the "movie Moguls of Hollywood" as you put it or that "Hollywood is run by a lot of Jewish ppl"? Quite frankly I think this kind of talk plays into the hands of the conspiracy nuts who think that Jews control the world blah blah blah. Perhaps I have misunderstood what you have written here.

No you read right. But i never made the statement, just going by what is known. He also got alot of flak from Jews in hollywood for making "Christ the Passion" Put one and one together mix it with alcohol and what do you get? A drunken angry man that lets loose his mouth then realises the next day he has blown it. He could of ignored what he did and carried on with life sooner or later down the line it would of been forgotten or all he would need to do is wait for some other hollywood fool to mouth off and the heat would be gone. But he got an interview accepted he was wrong in what he said and now wants to move on. All im saying is he should be given another chance. His demon is alcohol. Hes a great actor and movie director.
