(+) Yeah! (+)

will was never even mad at rock, he laughed at the joke until he saw his wife who decided she gets to cheat mean mugging and he went berserk for no reason. comedians have insulted peoples appearances and made bald jokes forever and will smith's trashy wife isn't somehow immune to that.

Really tipped your hand what your actual issue here is with this one, huh?

Is he not familiar with how comedians deal with hecklers? Being irreverent is kind of integral to comedy.

Now realize Chris Rock has been shitting on will smiths wife for like 20 years.

Shit, I knew she was cheating on Will, but I didn't know she was into that

Right. So people DO have a line where its fine to smack someone. As Ive been saying.

Now realize Chris Rock has been shitting on will smiths wife for like 20 years.

yes, i never claimed otherwise. for you the line is a mild joke a comedian tells, for most people the line is something actually offensive.

if smith knew rock would be there and he knew he gets offended by the most mild joke imaginable he shouldn't have put himself in that situation.

in smith's case it 'set in' when his wife gave him a nasty look.

Not to mention what sparked the original incident is he attacked one of the only black women in the audience for no reason whatsoever, thus prompting the slap

attacked? are you serious?

"Wants Chris to let it go...wants Chris to move on."

Seriously fuck this guy for even thinking that he's being wronged here, much less leaking it. You assaulted someone. You don't get to decide how they feel and when they should stop feeling it. What a scumbag.

I feel like Im suddenly living in some alternate universe

Yeah, you sound like it.

So, welcoming you to this reality, you cant physically attack someone because they insulted you, if you do, you are in the wrong, period.

Again, words frequently have physical consequences. Words can get you put in jail, my guy, and that has always been the case.

I didn't say words have no consequences, I said words cant be responded to with physical violence, so I dunno what jail has to do with that. But also no, my guy. Crimes land you in jail. Defamation, extortion, fraud, lying to police, hate speech, are a crime. Being insensitive to your feelings, isn't.

I can guarantee youve thought it was fine to hit someone for words before, just different ones.

No, I havent.

Words should not have physical consequences, no. You don't get to smack people because you didn't like what they said.

you straight up said physical consequences. Dont be lying now.

Several of those crimes, as with others, are in fact just saying words. Youre being silly. Of course words can have physical consequences and frequently do. Even beyond crime. Are you saying you cant be fired from your job for words? Thats a physical consequence. Unless by words shouldnt have physical consequences you explicitly and only meant physical violence. Which isnt what those words mean.

Whats your threshold for smacking someone in the face? No matter what anyone says, in any context, no matter how many times they say it, you believe you should never smack someone? I really didnt know so many people were so wildly anti-smacking.

Legit unhinged

I'm starting to think Jaden Smith has a GameFAQs account.....

Really the only plausible explanation.

Imagine being Will Smith. He was on top of the world in the 90s and 2000s.

This all started with Suicide Squad. Then there was the YouTube Rewind fiasco.

Now he's just an utter laughing stock. Truly a shell of a man.

What?

What I said is, I know there are consequences to words. And I said words shouldn't have physical consequences (or shouldn't be responded to with physical violence).

That's not lying, it's called paraphrasing; saying the same thing with different words.
And there's nothing incorrect about referring to physical violence as "physical consequences".

I replied to you saying "words have consequences" to make the distinction that physical ones shouldn't though, so I don't know how could it possibly be confusing what kind of consequences I'm referring to, especially considering the context.

Several of those crimes, as with others, are in fact just saying words.

I am aware. That was in fact the intention in me listing specifically crimes that are made with words.

I said there's a difference between those, which are crimes, and between someone insulting you, which isn't a crime (which should be particularly fortunate for you).

(But once again though, I don't know what going to jail has to do in the argument about a guy hitting another guy in response to what that other guy said.)

Are you saying you cant be fired from your job for words? Thats a physical consequence. Unless by words shouldnt have physical consequences you explicitly and only meant physical violence.

Facepalm.

You quite literally said no I said physical violence, I showed via quote that you said what I said you did, and now youre arguing some whole other thing about paraphrasing. People on this message board have a pathological inability to admit theyre wrong about anything, I swear to god.

Saying theres a difference at all is you moving goalposts. You said words shouldnt and dont have physical consequences. I pointed out they do in the case of crimes. You essentially went that doesnt count! Okay, but it does. And then I pointed out some other non-crime, physical consequences of words and you just went facepalm. Not a very good faith conversation youre having, but that seems to be the norm with this topic. Just a bunch of people throwing insults.

(But once again though, I don't know what going to jail has to do in the argument about a guy hitting another guy in response to what that other guy said.)

Because you said words dont usually have physical consequences. Silly.

Facepalm.

Unless this is some devil's advocate thing, you honestly kinda sound like a dangerous person.

I sound like a dangerous person because I think it was fine for a person to smack another person once for insulting his wife for like 20 years and then doing it again in front of all of their peers? Weird threshold for being dangerous you have. I wouldnt even do it myself, Im a pacifist by choice, I just.. dont really care if someone else gets smacked because they deserved it. Because its not a big deal. You people are the ones acting like he fucking walked up and stabbed him.

as tired as i'm getting of hearing about this goddamn slap, i gotta say this was hypocritical as fuck.

Will should be the last person to speak on what's distasteful or not...

Why is that? Some bad thing he did Im not aware of (totally possible I dont pay much attention to the dude) or is this just him and his wife do weird open relationship things and that makes me uncomfy again?

Ironically, every single joke Chris Rock made that night was tame, forgettable and painfully unfunny. Yes, that also includes that joke aimed at Jada. In any normal day, we would all have forgotten about it. Instead, Will had to turn that one line into a gigantic meme that will follow him for the years to come. And despite all that, Jada went on to publicly say he ''overreacted'' and keep on humiliating him at every chance.

I wonder if hes mad at the oscars...

No, I quite literally didnt.

Mr_hulk88 posted... I didn't say words have no consequences, I said words cant be responded to with physical violence.

And then, after you randomly accused me of lying, I made it extra clear.

Mr_hulk88 posted... What I said is, I know there are consequences to words. And I said words shouldn't have physical consequences (or shouldn't be responded to with physical violence). That's not lying, it's called paraphrasing; saying the same thing with different words.

And my first post (in response to you saying words have consequences):

Mr_hulk88 posted...Words should not have physical consequences, no. You don't get to smack people because you didn't like what they said.

I think since my first post and the ones that followed, its been abundantly clear that by physical consequences, am in fact talking about someone hitting someone.

I showed via quote that you said what I said you did, and now youre arguing some whole other thing about paraphrasing.

No.. buddy. You already tried this one, remember? As very clearly pointed out in the very post you are replying to (so this is the 2nd time now, lets not escalate it into a 3rd);

You did not point anything out.
I am aware of everything I said.
What you quoted is exactly what I meant to say.
And there is nothing contradictory about the two phrases.

I have no need to copy-paste everything I say, and I paraphrased myself correctly. Understand?

Theres nothing inaccurate about referring to physical violence as physical consequences in the context in which I am already replying to you saying "words have consequences" to make the distinction that physical ones shouldn't be though.

There is zero inconsistencies in what I said, stop distorting the exchange and pretending like you pointed out some lie. Its pathetic.

People on this message board have a pathological inability to admit theyre wrong about anything, I swear to god.

Sums you up exactly.

Saying theres a difference at all is you moving goalposts.

Lol.

I didnt move any goalposts. I made my point in a single post.

You said - Words have consequences.
I replied - They should not have physical consequences, no. You don't get to smack people because you didn't like what they said.

I have literally no idea what the fuck youve been attempting to rant about after this.

You said words shouldnt and dont have physical consequences. I pointed out they do in the case of crimes.

You didnt point anything out.

You had said (to someone else) words have consequences, words can land you in jail. (Yeah.. no shit dude!) so, I replied (this was me, not you) - Crimes land you in jail. Defamation, extortion, fraud, lying to police, hate speech. Those are crimes. Being insensitive to your feelings, isn't a crime.

Once again, no idea what youre pretending to be struggling with.

Because you said words dont usually have physical consequences. Silly.

..yeah no. The question remains..I don't know what going to jail has to do in the argument about a guy hitting another guy in response to what that other guy said.
(Since as been made clear probably in every single post, it is already established words have consequences. And I am talking about specifically about someone hitting another person, since that is what the fucking discussion is about).

Also. Ive been respectful so far. If you randomly name-call me once again Im gonna start addressing you the same way, okay bud? Just a heads up.

You essentially went that doesnt count!

Okay, but it does. And then I pointed out some other non-crime, physical consequences of words and you just went facepalm.

Not a very good faith conversation youre having, but that seems to be the norm with this topic. Just a bunch of people throwing insults.

The first part.. no.

Second, (as per usual) you didnt point anything out. You said, Are you saying you cant be fired from your job for words? Thats a physical consequence.
And I said facepalm, since that's the appropriate response to someone claiming the opposite of what the other person said in several times.

Third part, Ive no clue what thats in reference to but, as can obviously be quoted so far the one whos been namecalling me in every post is you, while I have not insulted you once.

As for bunch of people, youve literally referred to everyone with a different opinion as stupid insane "silly" "dickish", and dismissed what they say as dumb and idiotic (I can screenshot this for you as well), so for you to bring up insults and bad faith is certainly some top tier trollin buddy.

I sound like a dangerous person because I think it was fine for a person to smack another person once for insulting his wife for like 20 years and then doing it again in front of all of their peers?

Yes.

Weird threshold for being dangerous you have. I wouldnt even do it myself, Im a pacifist by choice,

Theres actually nothing weird about it.

You saying I cant believe people are against smacking while calling yourself a pacifist, is though.

I just.. dont really care if someone else gets smacked because they deserved it. Because its not a big deal.

Yeah you made that clear.

And I said you are wrong.

You people are the ones acting like he f***ing walked up and stabbed him

Nothing about what Ive said implied Im acting like he stabbed him.

Anyway. Back to what I did say: You cant physically attack someone because they insulted you, if you do, you are in the wrong, period.

Y'all need to touch grass holy fuck

To reply?

thanks for the bump
was a fun read
