Gary Oldman in hot water!

[The Ween]

Richman I have the solution to all of your current problems.

Get fat again.

I liked him chubby, but he was having cholesterol issues, etc. from eating all that crap on Man vs Food! He probably kept that big eating up between shows since his stomach was probably stretched out from eating those huge quantities of food. It takes more food to satisfy you when your stomach is stretched out.

Remember the 2 foot burrito?

Looks delicious.

Looks like Coldplay might be in hot water now. Never cared for the band but if they back track about their post, then I'll def have no respect for them. Nothing wrong with what they said.

From being dubbed U2 and Radiohead copycats to the New York Times label as “the most insufferable band of the decade,” Coldplay has found itself to be a polarizing band without ever having done much that’s controversial.

Until now.

Yesterday, Coldplay posted a a link to a “Freedom for Palestine” video by the band OneWorld that featured lyrics like ‘it could be you and your family/forced from your home and your history,’ and images of Israeli army checkpoints and the security fence, angering a large number of its Jewish and pro-Israel fanbase.

Within less than a day, there were 12,000 comments on their post, including promises to boycott the band and a Facebook group that demanded an apology to Israel.

Anti-Israeli fans also posted comments to support Palestine, such as “Zionism is racism” and “Israel is an apartheid state.”

Coldplay’s sound has been influenced by a number of political bands, such as U2, Filter, and Radiohead, but until now, the band has kept their songs and statements largely apolitical.

Yesterday, Glenn Beck responded to the song on his Fox News channel show, calling it “propaganda” and saying it was “important to look evil in the eye.” Beck then began to cry. Comedian Mark Thomas and musician Billy Bragg, however, gave the song their ringing endorsement.

After some Facebook users reported the URL to the song as “abusive,” the link was blocked by Facebook. But OneWorld quickly created a new site here.

Watch the video of “Free Palestine” below.

Neither Palestine nor Israel are innocent. So supporters of both should stop acting like the other is the bad guy. A little word like compromise would serve them well.

 

[carbo-fation]

Not going to start a political debate but looking at history and actual evidence, it's pretty clear which side is unwilling to compromise.

 

[crows]

that last line.... That's what I don't get about Facebook.

They will block a mom that was breastfeeding a baby, because it is so terrible to have that. But at any given time there are like 200 pages of strippers and porn stars that appear almost nude (With pasties on their boobs) or in really revealing clothing. and if someone reports it they always say that the profile is not breaking any rules.

now I don't mind the girls doing that,
but Facebook is really bizarre in that sense. I've also found gore pics or videos that never get removed. Sometimes I wonder what the hell goes on in their offices.

An Israeli-Palestinian debate surely is a way to drag a thread down into the mire fast. But having read and followed that conflict for many years, I agree with the Josh. Unfortunately, "compromise" is not defined the same way by either group. And the domestic politics of both sides penalize moderation while usually rewarding escalation.

Having said all that, it's not shocking that a popular musical group has opinions on political issues. Or specifically, that a British, probably left-leaning band holds this perspective.

And besides which, T2 is better. I bet Israel AND Palestine know that.

So not only are they totally counterproductive in how they handle relations between each other, they're totally off in their movie tastes, as well? Makes sense.

Yep, it sure is.

Thanks for agreeing with me.

You can't show bare nipples is why. If they get enough complaints, they'll remove something, no matter what. The gore pics didn't get enough complaints I guess.

Americans and their nipples

 

[a-dev]

Nipples be some hardcore ***t.

 

[The Ween]

Unless it's on HBO, etc. that's the way it is. Men find them too sexual stimulating over here yet.

At least us girls are seeing a little more male butt cheek now.

I Swear, A girl can be topless and just putting Tape on her nipple and it is allowed.

Even paint is allowed, Like when girls do those painted shirt things but their boobs are showing,.

Unless it's on HBO, etc. that's the way it is. Men find them too sexual stimulating over here yet.

Nope!

has nothing to do with that, the problem is that religious people in control don't want Little kids to see boobs, that's it. That's the reason.

If it was because Men find them too sexual stimulating then there would be bans on porn or nude magazines.

But since kids have access to TV then they have to censor boobs.

The Irony here is that not only do babies grow up seeing their mom's boobs every day, But kids today have unlimited access to the Internet where they can see all kinds of boobs.

This truly is prehistoric thinking from hardcore church going people lol

 

[DiFabio]

I don't think it has anything to do with religion. That's a stretch.
