If this thread were anyplace other than the comedy zone, I might buy what you are selling. The fact it is where it is disappoints me.

The original commenter was under the video. I quoted him (or her).

AFCHIC - concur on your take. I took the smily to refer to the Ike comment. Ike was a serial misogynist who should be beaten every day for the rest of his life (is he even still alive..???).

BUT....I DID think the comment about Ralph Cramden was funny or I wouldn't have said it. It goes more to the initial probing of entertainment's current stance that woman are the brains and men are ignorant savages who can't think or even perform without harming themselves unless they have a woman in control of every facet of their life. Look to all the current sitcoms. I disagree with the current projection but I did think the initial probing was presecient. Ralph was over-matched by Alice and often his only retort when backed into the corner was feigned impotent rage (one of these days Alice....ONE OF THESE DAYS...). However, it always ended with her just looking at him and the two of them metling into each others arms and proclaiming their undying love for each other. Man....were life so simple today.

Agree Sir Richard, 100%.

I call a spade a spade, and this bus incident is very unfortunate to hear about, all the way around, IMHO.

Being a woman who was involoved with domestic violence at one point in my life, I can see the relevance to want to attack the bringing up of Ike Turner.

But IMVHO, it was not the intent of the poster to mock abused women in bringing that analogy to the discussion. It is a very well documented fact that Ike hit Tina, and for all the wrong reasons, she took it.

My hope is that instead, as suggested, let us all learn what drugs can do to the mental and emotional state of those less fortunate than us, and try to help them...that would be a good outcome from the posting of this thread, IMHO.
