R.I.P. Andy Griffith

[westwall]

This has nothing to do with politics. Nothing. And as I already posted, I don't live in the States and do not keep up with American entertainment news.There are people who apparently are entertainment celebrities in the States of whom I have never heard. I don't watch American television. So this is news to me, and whether or not others know about this death, surely keeping up with the deaths of television stars has absolutely nothing to do with keeping up with world events. My God, if that is your measurement for keeping up with what is happening in the world, then you are not a very deep thinker at all.

Ma'am, I can tell you what is going on in most places of the planet at any time of the day or week. I like to be informed. I am not a celebrity watcher by any stretch of the imagination but I grok a ton of it just in passing.

That's the way the media is. You can't swing a dead cat on Yahoo without seeing the latest horse shit that the Kardashians are doing and I have never once watched their insipid show.

What these postings have shown to me is that the progressives here view a very narrow spectrum of the media...thus they are fed just what the progressive networks want them to see, and know. Which is a microscopic amount of what is going on in the world.

I didn't know he was dead.

Neither did I. I don't live in the States and don't get a lot of news from there, especially entertainment news. I liked the Andy Griffith show a lot, the early years, especially before Gomer Pile and such. It was a sweet, imaginary place with simple values. Andy Griffith was perfect for the role he played.

Neither did I, and I started the thread. Oh, well...

Wow, what a bunch of jerks. Though this thread is not a current event, there are those who were not aware of Mr. Griffiths' death. It is still essentially a memorial thread. Turning it into a joke thread or using it to flame other posters is contemptible.

We find it amusing that the progressives are so out of it that they have no clue of what is happening in the world around them. That's what is funny to us.

We ALL loved Andy Griffith, and if you bother to do a check you will probably find a tribute to him....BACK THEN!

However, the overall lack of awareness of the progressives is pretty damned funny.....and amazing to boot.

You are right, of course, Westwall. my political leanings is the reason that I failed to realize that Andy Griffith died 2 years ago. I simply can't fool you at all, can I?

By the way, Charles Lindbergh has successfully crossed the Atlantic in his aeroplane.

I'm sure he'll be willing to illustrate how, as a "Progressive", whatever that is, you were too busy shooting people into mass graves for the last two years.

There's no event or piece of news, no matter how old, that some demagogue Eliminationist wanker won't try to carve into a political club to sate his own ego.

And why did he do that? America not good enough for him? Must have been a socialist....

This reminds me of dumb and dumber when he was in the bar and got so excited when he heard we landed on the moon.

I don't know. the White House has the inside information, call them, ask for President Coolidge.

I'll repeat as you seem to have missed it (no surprise there)...

I can tell you what is going on in most places of the planet at any time of the day or week. I like to be informed. I am not a celebrity watcher by any stretch of the imagination but I grok a ton of it just in passing.

That's the way the media is. You can't swing a dead cat on Yahoo without seeing the latest horse shit that the Kardashians are doing and I have never once watched their insipid show.

What these postings have shown to me is that the progressives here view a very narrow spectrum of the media...thus they are fed just what the progressive networks want them to see, and know. Which is a microscopic amount of what is going on in the world.

And yet, it's factual.

That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works!

No, it's bullshitual. Specifically a generalization fallacy based on a post hoc. Whether one heard or did not hear of Andy Griffith's passing has everything to do with what one was doing that day, and nothing to do with fantasies of "progressives". Only a partisan hack could contrive a way to connect the two. Pathetic.

That day? Surely you jest. It was worldwide news and there were at least three days of coverage on it. I will grant you that having such a small sample size limits the accuracy of the observation, but it was interesting that the progressives didn't know but the centrists and conservatives did.

That is a statement of fact. I then presented a hypothesis about why that might have occurred. Some of it was tongue in cheek, but there is an underlying truth to it as well. That is not partisan, that is simple fact.

Greatest TV show ever. The society liberals want to destroy and replace with Barney as queer and Aunt Beau a dominatrix. Opie would be a trouble gay kid and lesbians would work at the drug store.

 

[CaféAuLait]

In other news, the great inventor, Thomas Edison has died, and there are rumors that Marilyn Monroe is feeling under the weather.

we all liked Andy, but you do realize this is OLD NEWS...right? On the other hand Tommy Ramone passed away yesterday....

He wanted to be sedated.


True story!
