Tony Danza, a cultural symbol?

Moxie · Post by **Moxie** » 19 Oct 2005 22:10

Who here likes Tony Danza? I remember watching "Who's the Boss" when I was small. For those of you who don't know/remember, here's a picture from the famous classic American TV show, "Who's the Boss?" He's the adult man in the middle. Symbolism anyone?

On a side note, did you hear that "they" are creating an "Arabized" version of the Simpsons? It's a little tough considering they have to change a lot of the classic American symbols such as removing the beer and meat from Homer's diet.

Maybe they'll rename it to al-Jihad.

What a crock of shit.
You probably think that all homosexuals have AIDS, too!

Go get educated, fool.

How do you know they don't?

Seriously, I hate all races equally. That's probably racist, also, I suppose. I hate you as much as I hate anyone else, are you going to call me out on that one and denounce me as a Garethophobe now?

By the way, I don't think all homosexuals have AIDS. If you took the time to read the gayness topic, you'd see that I don't have a problem with homosexuals at all. I just like to make fun of a certain race once in a while. I make fun of my own heritage based upon experiences I've had. I don't neccessarily want to kill the Indians or think that the entire race is worthless, but there are a good chunk of worthless Indians, just like there's a good chunk of worthless white people, black people, etc.

Before I get yelled at again for being funny, I suppose I should use proper nomenclature. Worthless Native Americans, caucasians, African Americans more like it?

If you also didn't add one and one, on my disclaimer where it says "I'm not trying to be blatantly racist and for the most part, I'm not" means for the most part, I'm not a racist. I did try not to berate the Arabs too much.

No matter if you concider yourself a racest, or not, I feel your post was inappropriate and you should think about what you're writing before you actually submit it.

Wow guys, way to completely ruin a mildly amusing thread. I'm impressed.

thank you. I try.

Actually since this is in the kicking circle and as such no racism is tolerated at all - if another racist post is posted in this topic I'll delete it.

This comment is completely aimed at Sam Mayer since I view your comments to be blatently racist. Further racism on the forum will not be tolerated at all - no matter how trivial the subject - and further action will be taken.

Poot poot.

Please don't post in my thread if you're going to post off-topic and/or be rude to people... that includes needlessly attacking people of different nationalities and races.

Tony's career died further more after Angels in the Outfield. I hated that movie.

i have to agree. and i also have to start an entire thread making fun of....(picks random country)...Australia, just to make things fair. make sure to post why YOU think Australia is the bestest country in the world.

yes it must be so hard for American's to put up with all the racism that is directed at them on this forum. Seriously if you see something that you think is racist against your race (what ever that is). Feel free to post about it and explain why it's racist. If you can't see the difference between complaining about the politics pushed in the US and saying:

"Leave him as a Hindu because he's not a true raghead?

Apu's kind say "poot, poot," and "yes, no, maybe hot dog" in response to customer querys.

Osama's kind say "jihad" or "all praise due to Allah!"

then perhaps you should do a little more research into what "racism" means before making yourself look even more ignorant.

Ohhhh SNAP!

Sorry, I just like saying that.

point out a single place that i mentioned the word racism. please do. i shall sit right here and wait, because i suspect it might take awhile.

please TRY to follow the discussion, jer. it might add some weight to whatever bs you are putting forth. the particular logical fallacy you employed is called "straw man," (im sure you are famaliar with it...you MUST be!) in which you pretend i hold i certain stance in an argument that i have made NO mention of whatsoever, and then tear that point apart. this applies because i never claimed you bashing america was racism, especially since that wasnt even the topic that nate was discussing, and i was agreeing with him.

edit--i thought of some other stuff i wanted to say. if you are willing to admit that i never claimed racism against america (clearly), then can we move on to my ACTUAL point, instead of splitting hairs? there is, in fact, an entire 4 page thread dedicated to mocking America. couldnt there, therefore, be one bashing canada or australia as long as no race is specified?
