Dude, I come here for entertainment news and not so much politics, although, full disclosure, I'm sure most people would label my social outlook as 'conservative'. Since the political is not my interest or point-of-view I enjoy reading differing opinion and thought.

That being said, I thought you made a reasonable, interesting, yes nuanced, point above.

Why do you have to undermine it by being a jerk towards anyone who thinks otherwise?

I enjoy this website, respect the contributors and appreciate it's point-of-view, but I'm not in lock-step with everything that I read. For that reason, I have tried to read your posts with interest, but it's obvious: You aren't posting a thoughtful reaction your basically sticking your finger up your nose and screaming "Nolte and his commenters drink doody-water".

Why do you waste so many words just to be insulting without a real counter-point? That tells me more of what I need to know about you as a person more than any political affiliation you may have. And yes, I do feel the same way about people on the opposite side of the fence from you when they napalm a piece simply to watch the flames.

Yeah, what's up with that?

Isn't experience supposed to be making me more emotionally stable? I may not cry uncontrollably , but I avoid pictures just like this one regardless of merit because I want to avoid going through the ringer. (Yes, it's okay for men to cry, but not every time some furry critter fictionally finds success or a sad demise).

I can't believe I'm getting thumbed down because I said I liked the artist who wrote the song in 1985 and I'm happy they are getting exposure. If you consider rock music a form of art you will respect the contributions that a group like Fishbone has made. They were among the first to combine George Clinton-esque funk, ska, reggae, hard co punk, jazz and straight ahead rock into a party synthesis. I didn't defend the Roots use of the song or the Roots themselves.

I am a big fan of Big Hollywood, but I actually sense a little myopic, herd mentality here. #livinguptothesterotype

I apologize in advance, and completely agree that civility is critically important. I don't support anybody insulting anybody. But a Fishbone reference? Any attention give to the most criminally underappreciated band of all time has at least some value. Hey, at least they didn't play UGLY or Cholly.

Fishbone is red hot!

Yeah, I should have looked first too. Panera just said no to following that link.

Huh?!?

Either your wit went over my head (likely) or you have never been to Michigan. The NW Lower Penninsula is likely one of the most beautiful areas you willl ever see.

It was a boorish and cruel comment, period

C'Mon Christian, I like your stuff and I'm glad you're here at BH, but was it really all that? Really?

It was a silly, infantile comment. Boorish lends it too much weight and cruel is just downright hysterical.

If only based upon my personal experience, I agree. I "cut the cord" over the weekend and Netflix is a centerpiece to my life without cable plan. I was unhappy with the new pricing matrix like everyone else, but not so much as to say goodbye.

Netflix, Hulu plus and OTA will allow me to get my entertainment fix for a fraction of what I was paying (I hope).

Nice!
