Andrew Warner

Oh it's great world when we can laugh at the elderly and the mentally impaired. It's sort of like a twisted version of "Kids say The Darndest Things".

Wow - and yet you won't eat meat because it's "cruel". I'll tell you what, andrew - just for posting this video - I plan on ordering three steaks at dinner tonight. I will eat two of them and I will throw one away. And for good measure, I'm going to try and kick a squirrel on the way home (that last part isn't true because I will be too full on steaky goodness to chase any squirrels silly).

tom green is to comedy as blink 182 is to music (and no that is not a compliment)

So videotaping someone who is being rude is equivalent to killing animals to throw them away? That doesn't make sense at all.

The enjoyment of cruelty to the mentally disabled vs throwing some food away - I think you getting off lightly.

No jokes now, I have a family member that is mentally disabled and there is nothing funny when they don't understand something, or when they get frustrated and lash out. And for you to compare the daily suffering and misunderstanding from people who find it funny to throwing away a steak is inconceivable.

The Tom green show might have been funny to you when you were a pre-teen and you didn't understand the consequences that words have, but you are an adult now. C'mon.

Dr. Yossarian,

Who are you to know he is mentally disabled? This is a classic straw man argument.

I could just as easily say he was a drunk rapist on his way to his next victim. tom green certainly scared him out of committing his next crime.

No one was rude but him. No one was even making fun of him. I suspect that if he were mentally disabled to the point he attacked anyone who said anything to him, he would be in a hospital and not walking the street by himself... Especially with that wonderful Canadian medicine system.

And yes, killing is always worse than teasing. I thought I would answer that in spite of no one being teased in the skit at hand.

Okay let's go your way for a second - how funny is it to make fun of an alcoholic (homeless?)? It's the middle of the day and there is something wrong with this man - he wants to be left alone - and tom green keeps after him. It's not a classic straw man argument. You are adding that rapist part - facts that can't be deduced from observation.


And it's not just teasing - it's a human being's dignity that was taken away. Were people laughing at him? Imagine for a moment that man was your grandfather or father.

ya'know - sometimes I'm pretty rough on the blogs for shits and giggles and I know I have a reputation as a asshole, but hell just this weekend you've gone after an 11 year old and the mentally impaired. And when you get called on it, you feel like you have to justify your angry behavior. Sometimes it takes a bigger person to say they were wrong - I hope you learn that before you enter the working world.

Yossarian,

Your BS knows no limits. You're still calling him mentally impaired with no basis. And now you've pulled it out of thin air that he is homeless... Mighty impressive.

Did you even watch the video? Tom Green is backing away from him the majority of the time while the other guy offensively attacks him. Yet you say "tom green keeps after him" – showing your blatant disregard to the truth or your inability to comprehend the most basic of information.

Paint every Tom Green fan as an asshole – that's the sort of nonsensical thing you do – but he was respectful throughout the entire performance.

it's getting incredibly difficult to have a conversation with someone who spouts as much nonsense as you do. Please stop being so ridiculous when you comment on this blog.

And yes, I have no problem criticizing violent people. Whether that be an 11 year old who shoots animals (and the family that encourages it) or a man who attacks other peaceful men on the street (whether anonymous internet commenters pretend he is disabled or not).

I remember when I knew everything - it was when I was a senior in college. I wonder what happened? I don't know. Once I too would have seen the world in black and white and would have easily have judged children for the same crimes as adults (yes even 11 year olds). I would have mocked them and made fun of them and posted hateful items from obvious sick individuals because I would have known that I was right - there were only two options back then. I would have taken away and seen what I wanted to see from videos because, well I was right (there were only two options, remember). I was a senior. I was a very smart person. People needed to respect what I had to say. And if someone disagreed - they were wrong - I was right - two answers remember.

Oh wait, now I remember - I graduated. And i went into the "real world" (not the show). People were not impressed that I was a senior or even that I had graduated. And sometimes there were more than two sides of a problem or a story or an answer - I got confused. So will you. It will be okay.

Ha,

Glad you got the chance to play the college card one last time since I graduate in a matter of days.

After that you can play the "oh, you're just an entry level person, you'll learn one day when you get promoted like me." Or "you're just self-employed, you don't know what it's like in the real world." You'll always find something because, yes, you will always be older than me.

I guess since you'll never be better than me at anything you'll have to keep relying on being older as a crutch.

well knock me over with a feather - you a have job lined up! I expected (and had it in the local blog pool) that you would be unempolyed and living on your parent's couch for at least 6 month.

Conrats (honestly) on graduating and good luck with the job, but please think about my words

He deserved to get made fun of. Yos, you are pathetic.

Jacqueline - sweet jackie, I believe that you have some grammar issues with your post that even I see. Let me help. Here is how it reads:

"He deserved to get made fun of. Yos, you are pathetic."

Here are some subtle, yet important changes. See if you can spot them and then I'll walk you through them:

"He deserved to get made fun of, Yos. You are pathetic."

This way you are not ending your sentence with a participle. Also it is now clear you are talking to me about andrew (since I was the last commenter and he was the subject of that comment). Dean will back me up on this.

I must say you were a little rough on andrew with that last comment. "Pathetic"? Really? Sure he is a little headstrong - but he is about to enter the workforce and he doesn't need you knocking him down.

how stimulating...

Oh... my creepy, little Yos, YOU are pathetic.

Yoss - sweet Yoss, I believe that you have some grammar issues with your post that even I see. Let me help.

Here are some subtle, yet important changes. She ended her sentence with a PREPOSITION, not a PARTICIPLE.
A participial phrase is a group of words consisting of a participle and the modifier(s) and/or (pro)noun(s) or noun phrase(s) that function as the direct object(s), indirect object(s), or complement(s) of the action or state expressed in the participle, such as:

Removing his coat, Jack rushed to the river.

A preposition indicates the spatial or logical relationship of its object to the rest of the sentence as in the following example:

The book is on the table.


5th grade grammar students will back me up on this.
