Don't be mad Tan, just learn...You owe it to the children. Less salt, more reading comprehension.Lith: "You're right, Tanoomba, I wasn't actually addressing anything being said. I'm gonna be a dick about it anyway."
At least we're on the same page now.
Oh, no I was annoyed at how dumb you were being before...but that last reply just illustrated you made a genuine mistake and were angry about being caught in it. So I'm quite pleased now. Carry on trying to trollHeh. Read the last few posts and see who was giving off "mad" vibes. (Hint: It wasn't me.)
You being from Quebec might not explain much, but this does.Are you kidding? That stuff is GOLD. You're giving me free correct answers just for reading? You'd better believe I'll take 'em! It's a bonus level IRL.
Finally dude. It's like it is impossible for you to say anything I agree with. But you just did. Thank you. It was always about the confederate flag being taken down from apublicbuilding and never about it being actually banned or censored in daily life or commerce. The only actual censors so far have been private ones, not public ones.Are people still butthurt about the confederate flag?
A racist symbol is no longer displayed at government buildings and a few big companies decided to pull products featuring the symbol from their shelves in a (perhaps misguided) effort to coddle their customers. That's it. NOTHING was banned. There's no thought policing here. This isn't about censorship. This isn't about controlling how people can express themselves. Get over it.
But then again, when all you've got is a hammer...
I really got into him over the last few years. With his move to CNN it really moved to a more political slant. The No reservations stuff is great, especially when he goes to Southeast Asia/ Vietnam. Also when he hates a place its entertaining as hell. If you want scenery porn check out the Sardinia/Italy stuff. If you want to watch someone get more and more shitfaced on camera there is one where he is in Tijuana. The show is great because he has a unique voice and its never dull if you like to travel. The Layover is kinda meh.Finally dude. It's like it is impossible for you to say anything I agree with. But you just did. Thank you.

Privately we can all do as we please so long as it hurts no one. That means that you can still wear Rebel Flag T-shirts and have a Rebel Flag man-cave and have a Rebel Flag on the roof of your car (yes even on TV) but it also means that Walmart can choose to stop selling those shirts and CBS can stop airing that show and 'whatever-channel' can stop airing that show that depicts the Rebel Flag if they so choose because they are, technically, private entities.

Anyway, my girlfriend is a huge fan of Anthony Bourdain. She Netflixes and On-Demands and You Tubes and Tivos everything the dude does.
So today we are relaxing and flipping through her saved list of his recent shows and she is trying to sell me on staying and watching it all with her on the couch. She tries to sell me on the Canada show and the Beruit show and the Hawaii show. Then she comes across the Quebec show.
The Quebec show....given by that paragon of liberal Americans, Anthony Bourdain, is still too liberal for her. She warns me against it and suggests we watch the Beirut and Hawaii shows instead.
