It's womanish to go compassion.
Compassion is okay if it leads to sex, but otherwise it's boring.
Just leave the post there, the message being say something interesting. An opening is all you get.
What would Jesus do?
Women have taken over the word compassion. Leaving an opening is taking the guy seriously. A guy does that. Women want to destroy him.
That is, for a guy, you're entitled to your posture and there's a fair competition about it.
That's how the best ideas rise to the top, which does not happen with women.
Look at the HR departments in charge of your posture.
I detest Sarah Silverman's politics, but there is no reason to think that she isn't having a moment of real compassion for the apparent victim of a pederast guy with a bad back. It would be nice to see if she could be so compassionate for a wounded veteran, Trump supporting man who doesn't believe in global warming. Jesus, presumably, would be compassionate to haters without regard to their political beliefs.
Saturday and Sunday morning the computer picks out a random Imus show from 2007 onwards and plays it (rather than streaming live Imus and recording it).
Today's is from July 23, 2008, wherein T Boone Pickens says in an interview that there's no way the US can drill its way to oil independence and wind farms are the way to go.
That gives TBP a posture problem today, if he's alive. Needling is possible. So there's an opportunity for grace or not. Those are guy choices, particularly the "or not."
In Goffman's _Asylums_ somewhere there's an incident where an orderly is suggesting to a doctor that a (mental) patient needs his pill dosage increased. The doctor hands it back to the patient - do you want an increase dose or not.
That's taking the guy seriously, probably better than the pills.
"What would Jesus do?"
Not fuck Matt Damon.
What would Jesus do?
When ever someone asks that, I like to point out that over turning tables and driving people out by force are possibilities. But, I too would like to would like to congratulate Sarah Silverman for her act of compassion and reaching out to help a fellow human who needed it so badly. That is the sort of thing that Christians are supposed to be doing but so often fail at.
Cunt in what way, she could have asked.
If she is just trolling him, but it accidentally results in him getting the help he needs, then ...
Hopefully it turns out well and all follow through.
Was anyone else put off by the style of the piece? The reporter would have a paragraph where she quotes the tweet, and then the tweet that was just quoted is printed in full. I found that very annoying and off-putting. She must have had a minimum word count to reach. I almost didn't finish reading the story. (I also refuse to click through the click bait sites that feature one picture or nugget on each page and then hide the "NEXT" button amongst five other plausible ones.)
I’m ashamed of my cynicism. I finished the piece wondering if it was real or a genius PR stunt.
Sure, sometimes major protests and rioting in the streets causes change, but when it's people one-on-one? Having a screaming competition in that setting never changes minds. So we need to try and understand each other
The story writer chose this Silverman quote because he's equating what she is doing with a shift in political tactics. Way to fuck up a good story, hoser.
Jesus would heal their physical disabilities, and then tell them to "Sin no more." The latter part being the most significant.
JML - I had the same reaction to the way the author wrote it.
As I believe Solzhenitsyn said, sometimes it takes real courage to simply be an ordinary, decent human being.
Silverman was in Steel Panther's (debut?) video "Death to All But Metal" and her joke was to call the song "Death to All Butt Metal" and refuse Sir Michael Starr's advances after shaking her ass and jiggling her tits for a while.
Go look it up, now. You've just been ordered. Ordered like the thoughts of a man on the spectrum. A man that could help me with my disordered thoughts e.g. my unbridled Trump sychopancy after having had previously disavowed all politicians.
Well, it seems that Sarah Silverman's bonding with the Trump voters has been good for her. Just another Trump accomplishment and I'm still not tired of all the winning. And if we were both younger, I'm sure I'd find her sexually attractive again.
Compassion is okay if it leads to sex, but otherwise it's boring.
Evil is boring. Twitter rage in particular is boring.
Being nice in the face of anger or hate is not boring. It's fascinating.
Kudos to her.
Why leave out the tweet which elicited the one word reply?
Should we assume by its omission that it makes Silverman look bad?
I finished the article wondering if both Silverman & the troll ended up trolling each other, that when the troll saw Silverman's "charitable" response, he played along by giving her his tale of woe. I'd be interested to know if the young man does show up at the spinal clinic that offered him care.
Maybe, I'm just in a suspicious mood because of the the reference to Schopenhauer.
I have no interest in that twitter thread, but I have always liked Ms. Silverman despite her politics. She is a unique comedian and has always been one of the hottest women I have ever seen.
Reckoning (publicly) with her friend Louis C.K.'s situation may have influenced her.
I wonder if she'll get around to re-respecting Dennis Miller...
If only the world could witness my many compassionate and selfless interactions with my sock puppet, they would have a better opinion of me, too.
What would Jesus do?
see what happens when u choose love.
I recall some parable about those who make pretentious gestures not earning the grace they expect. He would ignore her efforts at PR and remember her heart. Her heart reveals she believes "liberal media" is code for Jews and thus anyone criticizing left media is an anti-semite. Hate isn't erased by the pretense of love.
