Ricky Gervais monologue at Golden Globes. "You're in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world."

It's his act... I think some of you are taking it too seriously, but that is your business. I really don't care.

There isn't anything in those videos that compares to last night. You're essentially saying "he always roasts people" but nobody is saying otherwise. Of course he does that. He does jokes about a few in the room so that the rest of the room can groan or laugh. Last night, he was assassinating everybody all together with scathing critiques that were 100% accurate.

Okay.

 

[volinbham]

suppressing speech? LOL okay.

 

[volinbham]

the woman who spoke about "choice" was nutty.

at one point she said have women have no control over what happens to their bodies - she was referring to becoming pregnant. no control over that? hmmm. Pro-choice or anti-abortion cannot we not at least agree that whether or not one gets pregnant is largely controllable?

 

[Purple Tiger]

That was the most truth I've seen layed down to hypocrites in a long time.

Laid? Lain?

 

[NurseGoodVol]

Laid? Lain?

Not a clue, i do CPR not English papers.

 

[ajvol01]

He was shaming them in an attempt to keep them from blabbering about politics. Technically, I could see how it is speech suppression adjacent.

Or he was just saying what 80% or more of the general public thinks

Shaming is not suppressing IMO.

It shows.

In my experience you are correct.

Huff's original point was that he wasn't really talking about free speech, but hypocrisy. Huff then claimed that his tirade may have even been closer to speech suppression than it was a tirade about free speech. I think he is influencing them to keep their traps shut about politics, rightly, by shaming them and calling them hypocrites. It isn't actually speech suppression, but it is urging self speech suppression.

WTF? Is this a triple negative?

 

[NurseGoodVol]

It shows.

I'll let you know the next time correcting grammar saves a life purple.

 

[VolStrom]

Let me interpret for the hard of hearing:
Pro-choice or anti-abortion, if one gets pregnant it is controllable.

 

[Purple Tiger]

My sister is a 40 year charge nurse/manager in ICU and CCU. She saves peoples lives and uses correct grammar. In fact, she gets rid of nurses who don't use correct grammar.

...unless of course, the female has been impregnated through the course of a rape. It is rare, but it has happened.

And not trying to be a grammar policeman, but jeez, that sentence was a mess. It's not a matter of being "hard of hearing".

So you maintain access to her message board and social media posts. What an awesome brother.

She must be a wiz to know when someone’s speaking whether they said laid or layed.

 

[Purple Tiger]

No, she is smart enough to stay off this crap.

 

[C-south]

No doubt.

Can't tell when someone says those words but you can when they write them.

 

[C-south]

I heard “of”....you’re fired.

 

[DancingOutlaw]

Can't tell when someone says those words but you can when they write them.

Because medical charts and Internet forums are on the same level.

Is there anyone in your family that isn't a pompous a$$?

So tell what is wrong with my sentence? And if you don't know what the "hard of hearing" reference is about, read a little more.
