The NCAA can't be a governing organization without an anti-trust exemption. Without a governing organization, college sports will continue to be the wild west.

Once they have an anti-trust exemption, the NCAA will be able to enforce rules again. Once the NCAA can enforce rules again, fans will bitch about NCAA rules again.

Since 1950 LSU Has Only Won 56.5% of Their Games Against Ole Miss

And since 1970, LSU has won 67% of their games against Ole Miss.

People don't realize that Ole Miss and Johnny Vaught had the best winning percentage in the country from 1950 to 1970.
The same ones who did it for me: No one.

People today spoil their kids rotten and then turn around and ask what's wrong with kids today. :casty:

I tried to make things technologically easier for my 89 year old mother. Ended up just fricking shite up for her and we ended up just going back to how she had it.

I suggest you just leave it alone if she's happy. How much total money do you think you could save by changing, anyway?

It's being engineered as evidenced by this outright lie:

No it’s not.

something as important as voting

That's exactly why having barriers to voting is problematic. It's SO important, that the bar is set very high to keep someone from doing it.

Should someone have to prove they can read before they can vote? Should they have to prove an understanding of US Civics in order to vote? You may think so until they make the tests such that you can't pass them.

Also, you’re talking about propriety and referring to people at Orientals?

I'm talking about the suspension of disbelief in the viewers of the films. It's more difficult when races are confused, but it's nothing new to get outraged over, it's just kind of flipped around.

Do you have a problem with the term "oriental"?
I don't even know what that is.

But it's all about suspension of disbelief in the viewer. Sometimes it's harder than others, but it hasn't just been one way.

Did you know that in the first run of the play, Macbeth, the part of Lady Macbeth was played by a man?

Keep in mind, I"m not making an argument for more diversity in the movie about Denmark in the 1750s, just that mixing up races in film is nothing new, it's as old as film itself.

In the 3 posts you listed, only in 1 of them did I say he was gay.

And those 3 posts hardly indicate any obsession on my part.

Your posts, OTOH...

You had to go back to Charlie Chan.




Christopher Lee was playing Fu Manchu in the 60s.

The reason I used Chan was to show that, at that time, orientals (and blacks, and hispanics) weren't even allowed to play lead roles in mainstream Hollywood movies.

At least I didn't go here:



:lol:

she was white and English. That’s an indisputable fact, to cast her as a black woman is nonsensical

Casting black people to play white parts is no worse than casting white people to play oriental parts - regardless of whether it's historical or fiction.

It's also an indisputable fact that white people have never been orientals.

My position is that I don't care for the black Anne Boleyn, nor do I care for the white Charlie Chan, but it has worked both ways.


Is that really any worse than Warner Oland (Swedish) playing Charlie Chan?



...or Christopher Lee (English) playing Fu Manchu?



I submit that Oland and Lee are far worse as they're masquerading as Orientals, whereas Jodie Turner-Smith isn't trying to be white.

You were lobbying so hard for Tebow to be gay, in post after post like it was really important to you

:lol:

I made one post that said he was gay. You're trying way too hard.

It was a pretty innocuous comment, but it sure seemed to upset a lot of men on the board. lol
