The moment you ask for actual proof of these charges, you discover there's an unsaid, "...in my opinion..." somewhere in their diatribe.

Still sounds like a crime to me. You got proof, turn it over to the cops and let them sort it out. No? Why not? You pro-pedophilia?

I always thought David Mamet was cool, based on his work. Sad to find out he's really fucked up

In fact I think he was on Maher last week. I guess he's on his Big Bullshit Tour lately.

"Fuck you" to everybody who isn't thrilled with every word that David Mamet ever wrote? Heavens to Murgatroyd !! Seems harsh...

I remember when he turned Right after 9/11. So disappointing.

Glengarry is a really taut piece of work.

No, he was liberal until 9/11

That's my reaction, too.

I'm also still flummoxed by him pulling of writing "Boston Marriage," even if it was on a dare.

Of course. Talk about cherry-picking the letters.

These metaphors are bullshit. They have no real meaning, and the purpose is to engage and enrage. Fuck Mamet.

I think it's originally in the sense of "tests" the rule, like, if you find an exception, you should be able to figure out how the rule is still good, by finding out something special about the exception. Or, maybe the rule has a natural limit at that point. Or, maybe it turns out that the rule is no good after all. But if it can survive the exception, then you know something about it.

I liked a movie called "The Heist", I think. "Money makes the world go around" "I thought that was love." "Right. The love of money." Well, it was pretty amusing in the context.

what w have is kids being — not only indoctrinated — but groomed in a very real sense, by people who are, whether they know it or not, sexual predators. Are they abusing the kids physically? No, I don’t think so. But they are abusing them mentally and using sex to do so.

What the fuck? You can be a sexual predator whether you know it or not/i>? Jesus, these fuckers have brain worms. I just can't anymore today.

Am I the only one who sees a Fox "News" logo and just automatically assumes I'm about to hear some bullshit?
