I would tell you much about Jewish tradition with instrumentation, Bucky. But there is one problem. You're an a-hole and I don't give a shite.

"All of the boys were encouraged from an early age to play musical instruments. Harpo’s main musical focus was the harp (from which he derived his nickname), Chico was an excellent pianist, and Groucho played the guitar. In 1905, Groucho made his debut as a singer in vaudeville. By 1907 he and Gummo were singing together as part of The Three Nighingales with Mabel O’Donnell. The next year, Harpo became the fourth Nightingale. By 1910, the group expanded to include their mother, Minnie, and their Aunt Hannah; the troupe was renamed The Six Mascots."
www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/Marx_Brothers.html

Groucho had a musical side as well, singing as a choirboy before evolving into the manager and sharp-witted focal point of the Marx Brothers’ oft-floundering vaudeville act as it zig-zagged haphazardly from New York to Chicago to Kansas City. Somewhere along this long road to stardom Groucho bought a used guitar and learned to play it by ear, just as his more musically accomplished brothers had learned their respective instruments. As the team rose in fame to conquer Broadway in the ’20s and Hollywood soon after, Groucho’s guitar became a source of great personal solace but never a standard part of their act. While his brothers caroused until all hours, Groucho became the antithesis of his stage and screen persona, an introvert who preferred to stay home and read, socialize with intimates, and pick out tunes on his guitar. Indeed, sans his trademark greasepaint moustache, frock coat, and loping gait, Groucho Marx went virtually unrecognized in public during his Hollywood heyday.

The most public showcase of Groucho’s guitar playing is Paramount’s 1932 college-skewering romp Horse Feathers. In a rowboat, Groucho performs the film’s love theme “Everyone Says I Love You” for co-star Thelma Todd on a questionably tuned vintage Gibson L-5. In typical Marxian fashion, when finished he simply flips the instrument (actually a cheap prop stand-in) into the lake. While he’d take fleeting turns on the guitar elsewhere in his film career, Groucho’s performance of “Everyone Says I Love You” remains a favorite among Marx aficionados and has gone on to become variously a beloved staple of home pickers and the inspiration for Woody Allen’s 1996 film musical of the same name.

Since we all know that you refuse to ever admit you were wrong I won't expect you to acknowledge this. Just like you couldn't admit the Manchurian Candidate wasn't banned.

Violin. This was a very common childhood instrument among Jews in that era. Groucho never got good enough at it to perform.

While premarital sex is considered sinful by the rabbinic community, the rabbis also recognize the human desire for sexual interaction. Sexual intercourse between a man and a woman is to be reserved for their union upon marriage when they become one with God.


Amazing how you didn't include the next paragraph. A little intellectual honesty.


In biblical times, a man was not prohibited from having sexual relations with a woman, as long as it led to marriage. The Bible never explicitly states a woman and man may not have sexual intercourse prior to marriage; therefore, no sanction was imposed for premarital sex, but it was considered a violation of custom.
quote:

When you or anyone else say Elba is the best actor to portray James Bond that is saying you think a black actor can play the role of an iconic fictional white man better than any white actor can including Phoenix.
Nope. You are thick.

The producers and directors are under no obligation to consider Bond a white guy. That is your construct.

Another fail.
quote:

it's illogical to think a James Bond movie will be better if James Bond is turned into a black man by having him portrayed by a black actor.
There is nothing logical about your statement. Better is a subjective term.

Fail.
quote:

First you make the racist statement that you agree with the producers a black actor would make the best James Bond then you refuse to explain why you think that?
Incomprehensible.

Fail.
quote:

You call it a logical reason then you refuse to explain how having a black actor portray an iconic fictional white character is logical.
if the producers think he is the best it is then logical to hire him. That is logic.

Fail.
quote:

When I name a great white actor who would make a better James Bond than Elba then you don't want to explain why Elba would be a better James Bond.
Because it is asinine. Who determines what is great? I have no desire to debate Phoenix or any other actor. On this film or others.

Yet, you still haven't answered if Lovitz would be better than Elba. Strange. Weird to demand yet not do the same.

Carry on racist. This is my last post to you.

exam? Getting 100 on the English 101 final exam means my brother had to study his arse off in order to learn the rules of grammar and, as a result, he learned how to write and speak proper (American) English. Yet he couldn't get a job back then because Affirmative Action forced all of the companies that were hiring people to hire a black person instead of hiring a more qualified white man even when that black person couldn't speak or write proper (American) English. That's fricked up even if your dumb arse won't admit it.
lol

He couldn't get a job cause he sucked.
quote:

You claimed it was a logical reason for a black man to portray James Bond instead of a white actor by saying the producers think it's logical for a black man to portray James Bond instead of a white actor. Therefore, you think Elba would be a better James Bond than any white actor including Phoenix. Thinking that a black actor like Elba would be a superior James Bond than any white actor means you are a racist.
no. I said if they think he is the best actor. See,I didnf bring race into it. Lol

No. I gave you a logical reason. Which is they think he is best. It doesn't matter to me. Only thing I have to do is provide a logical reason. Have done so.

But, you refuse to accept reality.
quote:

Why?
Because I have no interest in discussing specific actors. Why not Clive Owen. Why not stephen merchant.

My only position is that I can give you a logical reason. If the producers think Elba is better than Phoenix that is a logical reason to cast Elba.
quote:

Thanks. You just admitted that your head is screwed on backwards and that you are a liar.
I'm really not concerned about appearing that way to a racist.
quote:

Have you stopped beating your wife yet?
Your posts provide the evidence. If multiple people are telling you this then the problem is with you. That doesn't mean you are a racist, but at best your posts come across that way.

But, we all know you are a racist. Stand proud!
quote:

Yes you did even if you don't realize it. See my comments at the beginning of this thread.
Wow. You actually think you have something lol

I have no idea who would be better. But, I certainly never advocated one way or the other. My sole position is the producers can view one actor, Elba, as better. They may view Phoenix as better. The only thing that matters is what they think in order to make my point.

James Brown is real. Are you as perturbed that all the hobbits weren't played by little people?

Continue on racist.
quote:

I did
Sorry. Didn't see your previous post.

Supporting the Panthers doesn't make the org racist. Does giving money to Sharpton make Walmart race baiters.

quote: i did address the piece.

Again, I did. Or did my comments about the vaguely worded "armed" just appear out of the ether?

All you have is the pr of a deleted web page. Not any other source. That is simply laughable.

quote:

Of course you do. You've self-attributed an "obviously true assertion".
lol

The fact that you are trying to base anything on a single article, that hasn't been fact checked, etc. is beyond ridiculous.

quote:

An "obviously true assertion" is a "negative"?



:rotflmao:

You mean like the obviously true assertion that conservatives are racists?

quote:

You agreed with the producers that Elba is the best actor to portray James Bond so I named a white actor (Joaquin Phoenix) who would be a better James Bond than Elba and I gave the other reasons besides being white why Phoenix would be a better James Bond than Elba.
Nope. Again.

You asked for a logical reason. I gave you one. I neither agreed or disagreed with the producers because that isn't relevant. We are discussing logic. But since you are a racist you really can't use logic.

And stop with the Phoenix crap. I started long before you brought up Phoenix.
quote:

You have your head screwed on backwards and you are a liar.
None of that changes the fact you are a racist. You admitted it.

quote:

Since you agreed with the executives, producers, and directors that Elba is the best actor to portray James Bond, I responded specifically to your opinion. Do you really think Elba would be a better James Bond than Phoenix?
When did I agee? Post it. Lol

quote:

Maybe to them but not to me.
Awesome. But you aren't in the movie business. I'm going to value their opinion over yours. They have skin in the game. You only have wrinkly old balls.

Continue on with your racism.

I took English 101 at Troy many years ago. Maybe it has changed since but what you are describing is 102 and above. English 101 is a course in composition,grammar rules and how to write papers and cite sources etc.
I stand corrected.

I didn't need it as I knew that from high school. Either way, doesn't really change my point.

On a side note, footnotes were a pain in the azz before word processing.

You've not addressed the link he posted. To the best of my knowledge Revelator did not pen the piece. He simply cited it.
i did address the piece.

Feel free to quote the part that makes the BSO racist.

I don't have to have anything. He made the assertion that it was a Racist Militant Org. It is his responsibility to back the claim up. I can't disprove a negative.

You are a disingenuous poster and I will spend zero time further addressing your foolishness in this thread.
Translation: I can't counter this obviously true assertion and will cast aspersions and run away.
quote:

I said James Bond should only be played by a white actor because Fleming's James Bond was white. You disagreed with my opinion and have been calling me a racist and stupid ever since I gave my opinion.
Nope.

You have said that producers can't think Elba is the best actor. Only a white actor.

That makes you racist. And illogical.
quote:

My opinion counts more to me than someone's opinion whose head is screwed on backwards and who is also a liar.
I wasn't talking about me. I was talking about executives, producers, and directors.

Your opinion counts less than theirs. Really, your opinion doesn't count.

Thanks for admitting you are a racist.
quote:

You and a few others have been saying that Elba was the best actor to play James Bond regardless of the fact that Elba is black. I disputed your statement by pointing out that Phoenix
The post clearly wasn't directed to you. Lol

Look. I know with all your racism it is hard for your brain to work, but I I ever said Elba was the best.

I said that if the producers thought he was the best then it is logical. And then you start with your racism. Remember?

Yes. Phoenix is the best. There is no role that he isn't better than any black actor. Amirite? Even in blackface he is still superior to black actors.

Lovitz: do you think you are in charge? Just because you come up with some actor doesn't mean I or anyone else has to discuss it.

But, go ahead. Tell us who would be a better bond. Lovitz or Elba?
The act may be racist. That doesn't make the org racist.

You are struggling. You have really nothing. Hence the term armed. Which could mean anything.

A bunch of Columbia students took over a lounge. Nothing happened. And you are so desperate that you can't even admit how grasping you are.

And now you move to Holder. We are talking about the BSO. You have yet to post anything about them. You have one article it doesn't tell us anything about their goals. Membership. Officers. Nothing. :rotflmao:

Its not grades that matter, its what you did or didn't learn. Few jobs require perfect grammar or punctuation but someone lacking the ability to communicate clearly and precisely is called a laborer.
of course. None of which is really dependent on English 101. English 101 is reading some books and taking tests on them.

This isn't composition 101.

The whole thing is ludicrous. "Yeah, dawg's bro is an excellent engineering student with good grades in his core classes, but Earl DID YOU SEE HIS TRANSCRIPT? He got a perfect score in English 101. I know. Weird. All A's and B's cept for A PERFECT SCORE IN ENGLISH 101. What are you talking about? We can't hire him ? Only blacks and women? Dude. He got A PERFECT SCORE IN ENGLISH 101. Do you realize how hard that is? Do you even English 101, bro?"

So not only are you ignorant, you are incapable of saying when you are wrong as well.
Lying again.

Post something that shows the org was racist. Wanting a lounge named change hardly constitutes racism. :rotflmao:

I'm sorry that you can't stand the fact that someone can have a different opinion than you and be right.

Basically, your opinion is the only one that counts.

Thanks for at least admitting your racism.
