Our country is at a crossroads and watching Seth Meyers ( who I respect)? I think the Globes should have been shut down this year.. We are engaged with a govt which does not believe in Climate Change, Has no problems with police who feel they have a right to administer punishment without Court Intervention.. I could go on and on. The Globes in my mind are so currently irrelevant withy respect to the state of affairs in our country..
Yep I have no interest in Hollywood Award Ceremonies this year.. An event I looked forward to for the past 40 yrs.

(115,829 posts)If you could care less, that means you do care. If you couldn't care less, which is the correct expression, that means you don't care at all. Just a little grammar peeve of mine.

Is your problem with the focus on women? It that why it is so "irrelevant".
Maybe you should watch Oprah's speech tonight and perhaps you can learn something.
Your OP could not be more offensive.

(8,515 posts)Yea I mean my motives are so obvious! You are so perceptive.
busterbrown
(8,515 posts)How silly your response is! I never thought that it was a male or female event.. What the heck are you talking about? Yea I get the fact that male egotistical attacks should be squashed. Who the hell would disagree with that?

(21,620 posts)shutting down events like this is exactly what people like drumpf would want.

Maybe that is the problem.

(115,829 posts)So maybe they should go sit in a cemetery somewhere and weep and wail. That would certainly advance good causes way more than going on national television and bring important issues to the attention of many thousands of viewers.

Maybe a doctor visit is in order. I am not ashamed to say that my doctor prescribed something to help me get through the dotard years.

(14,811 posts)But rather to rudely slam anyone who disagrees with you.
I'm amazed you've only had three posts hidden in the last 90 days.
busterbrown
(8,515 posts)Really I never expected to be attacked the way I was.. I simply was making a point that The Golden Globes Awards do little to address right wing disgusting rhetoric. We're engaged in a dangerous war with right wing Trumpers and I'm frightened.. "Rudely Slammed?" where?
JimGinPA
(14,811 posts)"Oh Jesus! Nice Try!"
"So Clever!"
"So Clever!"
"Psychotrophcs? Right! n/t"
"Give Me a break! Please."
One could argue each of those replies were rude. And calling your OP offensive didn't seem like an attack to me, but just a differing point of view.
In any case, it appears you're only interested in attention, and since it looks like everyone that responded to your OP disagrees with your viewpoint, even negative attention will do.
You needn't respond since I doubt you're able to find fault with yourself and I'm really not interested in giving you any more of the attention you seem to seek.
