Henry Rollins's outburst

Zoots · 08-06-2007, 06:54 PM

I don't know how old this is but it's worth checking out. It's not long, just under 3 minutes.

I hate it when I have to agree with Henry Rollins.

A_Wanderer · 08-06-2007, 09:02 PM

I agree

Who would be dumb enough to give this douchebag his own show?

U2isthebest · 08-06-2007, 10:22 PM

^^^Ok, that was a little harsh. I just can't stand to see someone who does nothing but tear others apart be able to have an even bigger platform and more time (a la TV) to spew hatred. This goes for all the hyper-fundamentalist judgemental people all over the airwaves that he's bashing too.

Ahh, irony is delicious

Good Lord, I hate that man. He has no idea what he is blabbering about.

What are his errors?

indra · 08-07-2007, 12:09 AM

I'd say Henry was pretty accurate.

joyfulgirl · 08-07-2007, 01:03 AM

Wow.

MrPryck2U · 08-07-2007, 08:35 AM

I agree with Henry for once.

Please, enlighten us as to where he is wrong.

UberBeaver · 08-07-2007, 09:03 AM

That guy loves to hear himself talk. At least he has a point in this tirade. It beats one of his 15 minute non-stories on how he joined Black Flag.

verte76 · 08-07-2007, 10:38 AM

Wow.

Irvine511 · 08-07-2007, 10:40 AM

i like his arms.

MissMoo · 08-07-2007, 01:28 PM

Sometimes he's too much, but I think that one was just right.

martha · 08-07-2007, 01:32 PM

I'm still waiting to find out what he was wrong about.

MadelynIris · 08-07-2007, 01:54 PM

Hmmm... One thing that is suspect would be his inference that the Bush administration is behind the TELCO's push for charging for internet usage (charging websites).

Not the case. Also, isn't old news? Like a year ago? I don't believe it ever passed. Remember something about Google and eBay lobbying hard against the TELCOs.

Also, don't most providers log all usage? So, if the Cops do come a calling, they can, if available, offer to them your web usage? Scary as it sounds, this has been done in many crimes, usually quietly. Some companies do not, but most comply, and usually not in the name of GWOT.
