And, "Don't bring me back no little switch either. Or I'll go get one myself and you don't want that. Go on girl, go get yer switch 'cause I'm about to tan your hide."

Exactly! Something tells me we'll be reading about an Arkie grammy that beat the evil out of her 11 year old devil of a grandkid fairly soon here...

She stole *fucking 10,000 dollars*. Goddamn kids.

Right? I had to look at the picture to be sure who the parent was. I wouldn't have guessed her age was 11 yrs and with make up... Well, she could easily be 17-18, I suppose.

According to the cops, the cab driver technically didn't break any laws because he did not seem to mean Alexis any harm though her parents are now pushing for laws that require taxi drivers to verify the age of young passengers traveling alone.

I have this belief about the world that is predicated on the idea that most people are as decent, professional and as honourable as they generally can be. But this week, after these Sony email leaks, I've had to radically reasses just how unbelievably fucking naive I actually am. I mean, I didn't think I was stupid. I…

Speaking of the Sony hack, one of the leaked emails shows Joel McHale asking for a discount on a Sony TV after Community was cancelled. That is a total Jeff Winger move.

Aspberger's doesn't mean he can't control himself and not jump on people. It's not the Get Out of Asshole Behavior Free card so many seem to think it is.

I've already read that. I've maintained to anyone who will listen that centuries of classifying an entire race of people as property and then another century of "separate but equal" have far more damaging effects than can mitigated in a few decades of the civil rights and post-civil rights era (if the latter even…

I think the cops deserve blame, too, but I did not disagree with Barkley's comments about profiling, etc. My quick 2 cents on each of the three headline grabbing killings of black men (or children):

Greg sucks. His whole victimhood trope is tiring. Always quick to call someone an unlce tom without saying it, going back to his Whitlock article. All this coming from a dude who has a picture of himself with a white kid on his shoulders lol

Maybe that whole genocide of black people killing each other. How you gonna ask other people to value black lives, when we don't show we value black lives when the only time, a national call to arms is when a white person kills a black person? Like Barkley said, would this killing be national news if it was a black…

Similarly, we hear "The Brown/Garner cases are about more than just those individual instances"....but as soon as Barkley says something that isn't in line with what black people are, I guess, 'supposed to say' about those other issues beyond those particular instances, then it's "that has nothing to do with the…

the vast majority of them are great people who risk their lives every single day.

Charles seems to be a time traveler - but for the life of me, I can't figure out if he's from the future or from the past. Fascinating man.

barkley makes points counter to my position, therefore he 'doesnt know what the fuck hes talking about'

Why is it a problem if we have differing views? Are black people not allowed to be free thinkers?

The problem is, most of the things he said are correct. Cops are a good thing (though this clearly is a very real problem that needs to be addressed), looters ARE scumbags, it is a little ridiculous to assume that white cops are just out there looking to kill black people, and fighting back against the cops is stupid…

Just remember not to call them when you actually need them.

I wish there was diversity of opinions on this website. Charles Barkley offers a differing viewpoint and that's absolutely OK. In some ways, he made a lot of sense.
