do you care

Sarah k Alawami #5609 I personally could care less, in fact, I would be the one to slap someone if they made a joke about it, and I would slap them so hard they would not be able to sit for a week, and their but would be coming out of their mouth. Then again, I am a pretty violent person when I am offended. I am not ashamed to admit it. toggle quoted message Show quoted text -----Original Message----- From: chat@nvda.groups.io <chat@nvda.groups.io> On Behalf Of JM Casey Sent: Saturday, July 30, 2022 4:18 PM To: chat@nvda.groups.io Subject: Re: [chat] do you care Well, I agree with you -- I really couldn't care less what these celebrities do, as it's pretty normal stuff actually, and only big news because it's "biga dn important" people who have done it. Didn't think the joke was worthy of such a response. But here we are talking about it, which sort of proves their point doesn't it? You watched the news, saw the story, and felt the need to vent a little bit about it here. Not criticising you for doing so but if I had a penny for all the people taking to social media and such saying "well who cares about this thing that I saw on the news and blah blah blah" -- the story is trending precisely because it gets people talking. So even if your'e talking about not caring about it, your'e still talking about it. And driving the ratings up. Unlike traditional journalism, this type of news/gossip/whatever is all about ratings. -----Original Message----- From: chat@nvda.groups.io <chat@nvda.groups.io> On Behalf Of Don H Sent: July 29, 2022 09:18 PM To: chat@nvda.groups.io Subject: [chat] do you care Today on the National news the big story was that Wil Smith apologized to Chris Rock for slapping him during the Oscars a few months ago.

Shaun Everiss #5535 To be honest I don't care either. I think its with anyone in power weather its a movie star or those in government once you get to a certain point you enter a new game. Its harder and being a corperate monster is not really a nice life once you get into that mode of life since your main issue is people like yourself and not the general public. There was one of our high ranking officials that retired a couple years ago and a bit of the game was mentioned from another one in power at the time. And that game aint the nicest deal. Having never been in that top of the rankings I wouldn't know. In another interview with a local singer also in that range though, aparently the preasure for performance is higher than anyone of us would ever know and no one knows the full story either. Its also worth mentioning that what we hear from the media is itself partly true only as they to are playing the higher and more dangerous game at that level which does make you think. The news can be a great weapon for those that that can use it either for themselves or to keep in the game which all that matters at that level then again, I wouldn't be surprised if the complexity outstrips what I think it is. Its not really an answer but what I have gotten from tidbits of information over the place. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 31/07/2022, Gene <gsasner@...> wrote: the culture may move in different and sometimes contradictory directions, but I'm concerned here with the breakdown of how you handle bad behavior by others and what is considered bad behavior.

Brian's Mail list account #5523 Yes but very few would remember the joke, but everyone remembers the slap, The joke in fact demonstrates the limits of language.

The real importance of the entire episode is that it reflects how our culture has declined. First, a comedian even believing such jokes are appropriate in mainstream culture shows its decline. Will Smith's reaction shows the decline in another way. Neither the joke nor the response would be acceptable in a healthy culture.

Brian's Mail list account #5522 If it had happened in private, then no problem, however doing it in a very public way is really not a good way to resolve any issue, is it?As to whether we care or not, well personally I don't, but the in question has lost brownie points in my opinion for not engaging brain before acting.

Stan Bobbitt #5521 I don't post here very often but I have to chime in here and totally agree with you Gene. It is disgusting but also very sad.

The real importance of the entire episode is that it reflects how our culture has declined. First, a comedian even believing such jokes are appropriate in mainstream culture shows its decline. Will Smith's reaction shows the decline in another way. Neither the joke nor the response would be acceptable in a healthy culture.
