Sure, and I think for you to take what Mav said as being agaist that is a stretch.

Every other man has a right to think he is a fool for believing it as well.

Dred, you are aware that Mr. Fisher was quite pleased about the events on 9/11 right?

He was an amerihater AND an anti-semite.  The US wanted to arrest him on numerous occasions.

He apparently was forced to live in Japan for a few years because he revoked his US citizenship but only had a US passport.  Iceland gave him citizenship due to the fact that he promoted the country more than anyone and saved him from spending the rest of his life as an exile without citizenship anywhere.

You keep chasing that rainbow, though.

Me Soothing?
LOL I know there are times I can be about as soothing as 60 grit sandpaper on a fresh sunburn.

But I tell it as I see it. not as I want it to be seen.
and I prefer to see the world as it is. Not as I would like it to be

LOL Im not defending his opinions or thoughts. Only his right to have them.
Its like free speech, You cant only have free speech for the things you like.

Ok he said what he said. Old news. I didnt perticularly agree with them either. But.
Did he actually act on those thoughts and opinions? No

Had he done so. Then I could condemn him
Inasmuch as he didnt he has every right to think whatever kooky thoughts he wants.

As Lasersailer put it
"too bad genius often comes hand in hand with lunacy "

but speaking of koooky opinions

Hell I've met a few people that honestly  think that the Jews should have sole possession of Isreal because "God Promised it to them" is a valid arguement.

Now Im not anti semetic. but I also see a bit of kookyness in that line of thinking.

Yea, the bible is kooky that way.

Yanno I was going to say that "Isnt Fischer " typically a Jewish name?"

If thats the case then how can a Jew be an Anti Semite?

Or is he just a classic case of a "Self loathing Jew."

I wasnt in the service but.
I saved a guy from drowning once when everyone else froze, unable to think of what to do.
He was able to live longer because I was there too
Does that count? ;)

right there.

it was implied.


Nope it was not implied, you simply inferred it. I also was talking about what I did in direct answer to your question. I did not generalize nor try to extend it to anyone else. I tend to say exactly what I think and do not play word games. I would have thought you would have known that by now.

Dred, yeah it does IMO and I am not blowing smoke at all. You put yourself on the line to actually do something for another.

i don't pay that much attention to you mav.

that said, you implied that someone doing something other than what you have done is a waste of time.  

pity we aren't all just like you.  what a waste we are.  chess players, cellists, delivery guys, grocery store clerks, postal employees...oh wait, they serve (sort of)  the list goes on.

blah blah blah.  

fisher said what he thought too.  good for you.

88,
Mav was responding to someone questioning what he’s done that makes him worthy of criticizing BF.  He responded to that question as any of us would have, he stated his contribution to society and compared his only to BF’s.  You really are reading way too much into what he said.
