Gaga is worth being interested in, she has talent and creative ideas and energy. The other one, an also-ran.

"she has talent and creative ideas and energy"

Hard to ask for anything more!

Except maybe some self-control. I just had to

To quote Bert Lahr, "awwwwww nuts."

"To take up your point, of course I've heard of 'fighting words' - they're intended to provoke the OTHER person into an agressive act. And she took the bait".

Absolutely correct, Q. Point being, legally, using "fighting words" (often including hate speech) gives the court an excuse to basically say "Well, you provoked them beyond reason with your language, so you got clocked? Too bad - you deserved it".

I still find it ridiculous that anyone thinks throwing a drink it a violent act, because that makes me think you have led a very sheltered life. Is it rude? Certainly. Out of bounds of normal societal behavior? Of course....but violent? Gimme a break.

I would love a link to Websters referred to that claims throwing a drink is violent.

And yes, I DO make a distinction between verbal volleys and crossing the threshold into something that actually contains physical agression - I don't care if she threw feathers at him. It's an agressive act that takes it to the next level.

Eh. Fair enough, but I disagree. I think initiating relentless verbal harassment is worse than spilling a drink over the head of someone who initiated relentless verbal harassment.

Drawing clear lines against physical action on another person is responsible. I can agree with that academically, but not really on any other level.

I've dealt with a fair amount of verbal abuse in a variety of situations, and my choice is to always turn and walk away - and I've never been in a fight because of that. That's my reality, and there's nothing academic about it.

Your reality is not everybody's reality. Which isn't to say that you're not right, but that doesn't mean it doesn't sound smug.

If you are going to pour/throw a drink on someone, make it a Grasshopper, or a Pink Flamingo...

They are full of sticky goodness that forces the person to leave the club because it feels gross.

I've done it before, and I'd do it again if the other person doesn't stay out of my face.

Good for her.

If I sound smug for being an advocate of non-violence, then so be it.

Out of curiosity, what was gained by her action? Is his mind changed? Was he publicly humiliated in a way that will cause him to have a fit of introspection? Does it become a rallying point where people will say, "Oh, look, they can't be bullied - they'll throw their drinks at us!"?

If you can get charged with assault for spitting on someone, wasting alcohol should get you locked up.

Yeah, I guess so. This implies that what I was saying was advocating violence, which is also smug. I just think "that's my reality, there's nothing academic about it" and specifically mentioning her "self control" sounds smug in a "this is easy for me, it should be easy for everyone" way.

Especially when discussing something at the very lightest part of the violence gradient. I have a hard enough time considering dampening someone as legitimate violence, let alone seeing it treated with the same earnest disapproval as a bar room brawl.

does she ever deny the charge that she's a man, baby? btw, i agree, she's totally a little drag queen. not that there's anything wrong with that.

I would imagine she felt better - something that doesn't always happen if you always walk away. And they probably able to continue the show in peace.

Posted: 1/6/10 at 11:17am

PUBLICITY! She is what we used to call, derisively, a "FAME WHORE."

Fred Phelps says she has a whore's forehead.

[tazber]

Posted: 1/6/10 at 11:42am

I wonder how many whore's foreheads he's seen.

Posted: 1/6/10 at 11:44am

Knowing Fred I'd guess he's more a Whore's-back-of-the-head kinda guy.

another similarity between the gaguy and mann coulter.

[Jane2]

Posted: 1/6/10 at 11:48am

the first time I ever saw her, I wondered if she were a man or woman. Since then, during interviews, I was more sure she's a chick. And chicks are the ones who toss drinks!

Ha! Excellent point, Jane.

Case closed, I think.

[papalovesmambo]

Posted: 1/6/10 at 11:56am

girls...and diva. more evidence that she is in fact a man, baby.

[Jane2]

Posted: 1/6/10 at 12:04pm

Could be, Reg. And if she's a guy, she sure is good at tucking!

[TheatreDiva90016]

Posted: 1/6/10 at 1:35pm

Tucking. It's an art form!

If I can hide mine and wear a one piece, then anyone with an average sized peni could do what she does.

Pop stars are supposed to do things like toss drinks and destroy hotel rooms. It's embraced.
