“I gotta say, I think his stand up was waaaaaaay better than the silly show.
Also, didn't he actually do a joke in one of his specials about a black guy getting arrested in his own home? (he must have broke in and put up pictures of him and his family .... sprinkle a little cr a ck on him)”

“Don't you remember 2003? We may not be calling them freedom fries anymore, but the last thing Obama needs tacked onto right-wing descriptions to him along with muslim, elitist, racist, is 'french.'
I wish it were more ok to like france and think that they can do some things better than us... Well, I guess it depends who you talk to, but what is the world coming to when you have to be careful who you tell that you like france. sheesh”

“yeah that kept nagging at me when reading this as well. totally agree.
As for the comma issue, commas can be used in many ways (and many people overuse them, it would seem our founding fathers are not immune), i can see that you might think the comma makes it 'natural born citizen or just plain old citizen' ... at the time of the writing, BUT then the syntax would make no sense. Why wouldn't you just say 'must be a citizen at the time of the writing' and skip the rest?
If our founding fathers had realised what a mess that phrase would cause in the future, I'm sure they would have left it out and said 'sc .rew amnesty for the privilage of these few not actually born a citzen'”

“No it doesn't. She only has to be born to US citizens, provided that their own residency requirements are met. Currently that means that you must be a US citizen, have lived in the USA for at least 5 years, and at least 2 of those years have to be after age 14.”

“Don't be sore. I think it's a good rule, to take it away would lead to some possibilities of serious abuse.
But fear not! As you even pointed out, John McCain was born in Panama. A US base is American soil (i've heard people say they literally fly it in from the US, but I'm skeptical about that part), if you were born on the base, you were legally a natural born citizen.
I'm sorry you never got to be president, don't don't go acting like a bad workman and blaming your tools.
Take care! :)”

“It's all too common that people just love feeling superior. There's nothing wrong with porn no matter what the medium. It just is what it is.

“The trouble with porn is that it has nothing to do with emotional satisfaction and rounded lasting relationships, which is what I write about. And then there's what happens to the people who act it out for the benefit of the observer - written characters in a book do not have human lives to be ruined. Porn actors' activities don't seem to have a lot to do with plot or character, and there are no consequences to their actions visible to the observer. Boogie Nights seemed to sum up the effect for me on the participants. I was commenting about writing scenes of passion that made sense to the reader, as part of the story. Sometimes reticent, sometimes a little more graphic to illustrate a point and drive the plot forward. Anyway, read my piece in the UK Telegraph, linked here, for what I think.”
