Well Bounce said they pulled them immediately....the end of April -- April 28th I think.

And maybe Bounce doesn't care about the 'values' for its audience.

I use to live in Atlanta and never heard of bounce -- lol.

Amazon Prime still has the Cosby show. I still don't think that means that ABC didn't have the right to pull their program.

You told me to research Ambien, I gave you my own personal experiences with it. I know the side effects. I never said that was the only side effect, just that it doesnt change a person's ideologies.

Roseanne was a racist before she took Ambien, and she'll continue to be one regardless of what medication she is taking.
I had put the link to the Huffpo article, that talked about a few horror stories including the eggs, in this thread not too long ago.

And yes, I did read all the previous posts in this thread.
Why would it bother me if people respond? That isn't what I had said, at all.
If you jump into the middle of a conversation then don't blame me if you miss the point of that conversation. That conversation was about inhibitions (people doing what they would like to do but normally might not do) vs. people doing what they normally would not do, ever.

Have sex with strangers, when they would never do that while being awake and aware. ETC. But they can't type and post on twitter
ahh, you mean reduced inhibitions...

We all know the score, well at least many of us do.
do drugs, drink way too much, get out of your face and we are much more likely to say what we think do what we want and to hell with the consequences.

We all know this. many a drunk gets caught on camera in a racist rant. Many posters here have very likely slept with that guy or girl they really should not have because they were wrecked and let their junk do the thinking.
What we have here is someone who managed to screw up her big come back by spouting nasty stuff instead of thanking her lucky stars to get yet another chance.

If you really thought that you could elect a wanna-be despot like Trump and not get the rough edge of wits and tongues all over the world, you are dreaming. This is what America is all about. People will stand up and they will be heard. It's our nature.
The other side is still lacking an alternative but they still have the deaf ear.

I'm really sorry about this, but the Democrats are digging their own grave for 2016. Their press isn't helping, either. Their response to the Roseanne tweet and Trump Tweets in general will bolster Trump's support, while driving a lot of us moderates out of the party, with no other real place to land in sight...yet.

Both her parents were not African either. The idiotic one drop rule once removed also does not apply.

This isn't people claiming that she is 1% African American just to be able to claim Roseanne is racist. Valerie Jarrett comes from a long line of accomplished African Americans.

If you want to critize someone, be sure you know who you are critizing. The exuse that "no one knew she was black" doesn't work.
Nope , sorry. The word for it is mulatto. The European racial purity rule , and then everything else, is as bogus as your post.

It was a Mexican person that called me that word. It happened at a place I used to work at.

In short, what you are arguing is that people will leave the Democratic Party because people are calling Roseanne out on her racist statement. Do you have any idea what you are saying?

So you are saying that Trump supporters will flock to Trump because a racist made racist tweets that he agrees with? And further, that most Americans will side with the racists as well?

Wow. So you are basically saying that Trump supporters are racists. And I'll agree that after spending the last year and a half reading here, it seems a number of them are.

But you're also saying that most Americans are racists as well, and that I won't agree with you on. I happen to think better of Americans as a whole than you do.

And if you, a self-described moderate, will be driven out of the Democratic party because Roseanne was fired for making racist remarks, than you were never a moderate to begin with. Own who you are, because it's pretty obvious to the rest of us.
