who do you think should be silenced?

based on the eli roth thread, i thought we might expand the topic a bit and look at who else should not be allowed to have a voice.

so, fire up your ideas for who should be muzzled and not allowed to have their ideas infect the nation?

if you want to take the next step and suggest a means by which we as a nation can decide who can and cannot have their voice heard, that might be helpful too. would there be a committee that decides, "nope sorry, those ideas are bad for people, you cannot say them out loud?" how would such a policy be enforced? with the availability of the internet for people to put them out, would we rely on the internet companies to both delete such content and report those who try to upload it? would there be jail terms? because let's face it, some people are just going to keep trying to get their ideas out there, so the only way to completely silence them would be to lock 'em up.

papa, you're starting early today!

I think we definitely need to censor any and all people who turn movies into musicals. They simply corrode the integrity of such masterpieces as Wedding Singer and Legally Blonde.

"I think we definitely need to censor any and all people who turn movies into musicals."

Not all movies turned to musicals are bad. Both "Nine" and "A Little Night Music" were based on movies and they are perfect.

As for who should be silenced - I should - and the way to do that is to make sure I always have my mouth full of something(or someone).

I wouldn't mind if I never heard the voices of both Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump.

I didn't take it that seriously.

As for Trump , I agree. But I like listening to Rosie - unless she's producing another B'way show.

I don't think anybody should be silenced, really. However, I can hardly wait for Rathnait and RobbO's batteries to run down permanently. They've already said all the ever say multiple times.

Off topic but, uh, Marc? Is that avatar one of the Bugaloos having an orgasm?
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

If by "silenced" you mean "impeached", then Cheney and Bush.

Michael Bloomberg, hypocrite mayor of New York.

His response to the JFK Airport situation was "Get a life". Yet if you ride public transit in New York, he wants "If you see something, say something".
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

re: who do you think should be silenced?

i hear some suggestions for who would not be allowed to have a voice under the new bww poster approved speech laws, but i'm not hearing a lot of ideas on how to implement these new plans.
