27. August 2011, 23:38:12 27. August 2011, 23:44:50 Subject: Re: Unions (V): If only union leaders focused on safety more than greed 27. August 2011, 23:56:37 Subject: Re: Unions The Col: Depends on the union... as pointed out by the vid I posted. The GPDA were about safety when the Formula one drivers were dying regularly, they were the ones who fought for safety when the teams and track owners didn't give a damn. 27. August 2011, 23:59:54 Subject: Re: Unions (V): the vid was 59 minutes  , a tad longer than I budget for research28. August 2011, 00:24:08 Subject: Re: Unions The Col: Most of it is just history of the early days of F1. If you like F1 (like me) it's a good vid. They were showing the Bill Hicks story on BBC4............ I can't post a link to that on this board!!  28. August 2011, 00:31:47 Subject: Re: Unions (V): My bro is an FI freak,I have trouble keeping track of who is in the lead.Bill Hicks , best stand up comic who ever lived 28. August 2011, 00:33:05 Subject: Re: Bill Hicks , best stand up comic who ever lived  The Col: Opinion or fact? Opinion. It's all in your preferences.  28. August 2011, 00:36:07 Subject: Re: Bill Hicks , best stand up comic who ever lived Artful Dodger: He is considered the best by his peers, he was a comic's comic.Ahead of his time in NA, but loved in GB 28. August 2011, 00:40:04 Subject: Re: Bill Hicks , best stand up comic who ever lived The Col: Still that's just opinion. It's like trying to say who is the best guitar player. Depends on whom you ask. 28. August 2011, 00:43:02 Subject: Re: Bill Hicks , best stand up comic who ever lived Artful Dodger: Of course it's opinion, mine and many others 28. August 2011, 00:51:39 Subject: Re: Bill Hicks , best stand up comic who ever lived The Col: You're and many others. That means little. It's just as likey that a person could hold the opposite opinion and argue with you that he's the worst at stand up and then say that that opinion is shared by "many others." So what. 28. August 2011, 20:46:10 Subject: Re: Bill Hicks , best stand up comic who ever lived Artful Dodger: I was speaking of stand up comics, I expanded the list to make it easier for you.I gave my opinion as to my fave,who I consider the best.I think if you check earnings for stand up comics you will get a better indication of the public opinion 28. August 2011, 20:52:54 Subject: Re: Bill Hicks , best stand up comic who ever lived The Col: You also doubted that any conservative comics were making a living at stand up. You were proven wrong on that point. And money is NOT an indicator of who is best. It may be an indicator of who is best known, or who has the best manager. Next we'll be rating our sports figures according to their income and not their stats. 28. August 2011, 21:55:53 Subject: Re: Bill Hicks , best stand up comic who ever lived Artful Dodger: you want to get into a philosophical discussion regarding art? I posed the question to you anyway, you had one unknown and a cue card reader.The general public is the only indicator of what sells, and the conservative stand ups are not very high on the list.My personal fave was not filling arenas at any point in NA,but my question was not based on personal faves, that's an entirely diff beast 28. August 2011, 22:02:36 Subject: Re: Bill Hicks , best stand up comic who ever lived The Col: cue card reader?  You have him mixed up with your hero obama.Now Stewart reads a monitor. And you tried to claim that no one listens to conservative standups. You were proven wrong. Not once, but over a dozen time. But yet you keep coming back for more.  28. August 2011, 22:07:27 Subject: Re: Bill Hicks , best stand up comic who ever lived Artful Dodger: Leno doesn't read cue cards? I said nobody? don't be silly, family and friends count 28. August 2011, 22:11:57 Subject: Re: Bill Hicks , best stand up comic who ever lived The Col: Leno wasn't my example. 28. August 2011, 17:27:44 Subject: Re: Bill Hicks , best stand up comic who ever lived The Col: Oh, and Chris Rock is the funniest stand up in the world. Just so you know. 28. August 2011, 19:24:25 Subject: Re: Bill Hicks , best stand up comic who ever lived  Artful Dodger: And if someone doesn't like Chris Rock, they MUST be racist! Isn't that how libs work?  28. August 2011, 19:26:18 Subject: Re: And if someone doesn't like Chris Rock, they MUST be racist! Isn't that how libs work? rod03801: No... Just your mind. 28. August 2011, 20:20:10 Subject: Re: And if someone doesn't like Chris Rock, they MUST be racist! Isn't that how libs work? (V): I guess you pay attention to what you want to, and ignore other things? That's all I can figure. All the silly libs throw out "racist" to anyone who disagrees with the worthless president of ours. 28. August 2011, 20:38:55 Subject: Re: I guess you pay attention to what you want to, and ignore other things? That's all I can figure. All the silly libs throw out "racist" to anyone who disagrees with the worthless president of ours. rod03801: Really...... That is what you perceive. Guess I read more as I don't see that happening alot. 28. August 2011, 13:46:49 Subject: Re: Unions The Col: The drivers were getting tired of having no medical facilities at races and dying. So they grouped together and paid for a mobile hospital to be at each race. When the race track owners and car makers did not get that it was a bad thing that drivers were dying through bad track safety.. They boycotted races and made the industry pay up and make the races safer. |
