1. I have a thought abou that first comment.
Not sure who that guy is, but there was a comment about violent imagery.

And that got me thinking on a topic, an interesting thought.

Some of the clips I have played have violence, and I do everything I can to explain that is not the meaning of the clips. And can back that up, because nobody in those movies gets hurt.

But on a bigger point, read my posts and you know I do not believe in violence, and if society did not celebrate violence so much, in so many movies, then I would guess many of the clips would have less violence.

Although the comment is not about me, I think on things like that, and if anyone was to be upset about any clip I play with violence, first I would say that they are not reading what I am typing, and second I would suggest talking to the people that made the violent movies, since they were the ones with desire for violent imagery. Then talk to the people that made the movies popular by paying to see them.

I find that an interesting tangent on his comment.

3. Curses have no effect and are actually mean to the things dispatched by them.
Edited on Wed May-19-10 09:03 AM by RandomThoughts
Since most curses, if effective use things enslaved thrown at people, and if they don't turn it is like being thrown into a Cuisinart for them, so I don't like curses for that reason. Besides it is a form of using violations of free will for a personal reason, and is mean. Or how I think of it in metaphor in my view.

But not offended at your usage of that term, just going off on a tangent, and I know that is not the intent of your comment.



My coment was after thinking about concepts of posting something that has violence in it, even if not thought of that way. And without the thought and intent, it does not have any negative effects unless already loaded, and comedy is rarely that way.

Does that make more sense?

5. Keith needs to work on an irony laugh
He played this well, but he should try to get a touch of Vincent Price in the laugh when dumbass laughs cause consequences.

6. Well my posts wasn't really about Keith, and am glad he posted that.
When someone is criticized, I like to think if I do the same thing, so many times things like that can get me to think on my actions. Since thinking is something to do, such clips as that can give someone something to think on and from that are likeable.

And I actually like much of Keith's show. His book readings are really fun also, that is fun to watch also.

And that clip actually had an opportunity for a tangent so glad it was posted :)
