caliber

What's your problem with this word?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 8 September 2003 14:47 (twenty-two years ago)

tony hancock.

no, I know this is how it is spelled in the USA. it reminds me of kaliber is all.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 8 September 2003 14:50 (twenty-two years ago)

people like britney so much more than george w. i'd say they like either more than people who slate britney though.

that's people though.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 8 September 2003 14:50 (twenty-two years ago)

...misogynism that lie behind this thread I find pretty nauseating.

This thread would be no different had the quote been made by one of Britney's male counterparts, from Timberlake to Rob Thomas. Idiocy knows no gender distinction.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 8 September 2003 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

(I am OTM.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 8 September 2003 14:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Why, if it's the same opinion? And why is that opinion necessarily "wrong" or "idiotic"?

― Marcello Carlin, Monday, 8 September 2003 14:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Are you familiar with our current sitting President George W. Bush, Marcello?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 8 September 2003 14:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes. Are you?

― Marcello Carlin, Monday, 8 September 2003 14:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Alex, why are you even replying to Marcello?

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 8 September 2003 14:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Hahahahahaha.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

marcello makes a good point.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:01 (twenty-two years ago)

That being?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Ally, you are perilously close to raining on my parade.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:01 (twenty-two years ago)

what's wrong with what marcello is saying?

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Do you agree that people in authority should be enthusiastically supported without question and without reservation? Is every decision made by a person in power automatically the right decision?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Britney's kneejerk acceptance and blind faith in the doctrice of the Bush administration implies abject idiocy to me. If that quote came from Bono or Jaz Coleman or Gavin Friday or Phillip Glass or Laurie Anderon or Sporty Spice or Jon Spencer or Phyllis Diller, I'd feel the same way towards them. But, it didn't. It came from Britney, so she becomes the lucky recipient of that derision.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

(oh no i'm being sucked into the vortex help me mommy)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:06 (twenty-two years ago)

It's true. The jaw-dropping stupidity of her statement isn't in the politics of it. A comment like "we should just trust __________ in every decision that he makes and we should just support that" is mind-numbingly simean no matter who she's talking about.

― shut up, Monday, 8 September 2003 15:09 (twenty-two years ago)

simean!!!!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Calling Britney Spears an idiot is misogynistic is it? Oh fuck off.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think it's misogyny to laugh at Britney's comments. If anything, I'd rather that female performers not act like a bimbo in public.

Don't forget that Fred Durst made some equally dumb vague "anti-war" statement at some awards show.

― Kerry (dymaxia), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

simean, indeed,

I love music!

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:14 (twenty-two years ago)

''Do you agree that people in authority should be enthusiastically supported without question and without reservation?''

does it actually make any difference either way? Lets face it, ppl can support or disapprove of the person in power but its all to do with what happens during the election, or which name you cross at the ballot.

If she criticised him there would be lots of cynicism round here too.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

does it actually make any difference either way?

No, it doesn't. Well, I'm glad we got that cleared up.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:18 (twenty-two years ago)

julio i know i am risking turning this idiotic thread into some sort of half-assed political debate here, but: do you honestly think the only political action that matters is voting?

― gabbo giftington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:18 (twenty-two years ago)

If she criticised him there would be lots of cynicism round here too

Actually, you couldn't be more wrong about that one Julio, she'd have shot up in my estimation exponentially - it would have been a genuinely brave and surprising thing to say whereas no-one's suprised or cares if some tit like Thom Yorke or Damon Albarn does it.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Dixie Chicks to thread!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:20 (twenty-two years ago)

It's not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing; it's a matter of thinking. She openly said she'd rather not. That is idiotic, and calling it so, is not misognystic in the least.

― David Allen, Monday, 8 September 2003 15:21 (twenty-two years ago)

''Actually, you couldn't be more wrong about that one Julio, she'd have shot up in my estimation exponentially''

er, have you actually read the threads on some of the 'left' wing bands round here keith?

jess: no I don't. But she has always been a pop star first.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:25 (twenty-two years ago)

TS: imaginary misgynony vs actual condescension

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:29 (twenty-two years ago)

What right wing opinions has Jaz Coleman spoke about?

― Rabid Rob, Monday, 8 September 2003 15:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Nothing recently, although he's expressed some frankly bizarre conspiracy theories in some recent interviews.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:35 (twenty-two years ago)

she has been doing the pop star thing all her life so is her opinion (that we shouldn't criticize bush) surprising?

she maybe wrong but an idiot?

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Perhaps "idiot" is a relative term here. From the perspective of the left, she comes across as an unquestioning pawn (i.e. idiot), whereas if you were a hardline conservative, you might wish she was a bit more eloquent in her espousal, but generally think she was on the right track.

That said, however, I still think "idiot" is applicable due to her adherence to supporting "EVERY decision" by the President. That doesn't show any deep understanding or concern about specific issues, but rather a voluntary decision to let someone else sweat the hard stuff and not get involved...or even informed...at all.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 8 September 2003 15:42 (twenty-two years ago)

David Allen, OTM.

Oh, and Gang of Four album covers to thread.

― dave225 (Dave225), Monday, 8 September 2003 16:25 (twenty-two years ago)

She should make out with Condi onstage

― Sam J. (samjeff), Monday, 8 September 2003 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

"me and tipper against the music"

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 8 September 2003 16:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Jesus god you people are actually arguing semantics of whether or not Britney is stupid or just all of her opinions are stupid=just name the board ILArguing and be done with it already.

More pix of Bush throwing dogs!

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 8 September 2003 17:00 (twenty-two years ago)

''just name the board ILArguing''

its taken you three years to figure that out? you must be stupid ;)

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 8 September 2003 17:04 (twenty-two years ago)

More pix of Bush throwing dogs!

OTM.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 8 September 2003 17:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Julio, you're a misogynist!!!!!

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 8 September 2003 17:11 (twenty-two years ago)

If Britney is an idiot does it change anything? Then let's move on.

― Mark (MarkR), Monday, 8 September 2003 17:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I like candy bars
and baseball cards
and superstars
Grace Jones and a pack of Twix
and pack of Donruss '86

I like candy bars
and He-man
and motor cars
Skeletor and the Milky Way
and a rat-tat hot-rod Chevrolet

― Girolamo Savonarola, Monday, 8 September 2003 17:17 (twenty-two years ago)

ally- and you're a pop star!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 8 September 2003 17:17 (twenty-two years ago)

what if Britney was being sarcastic? or at least making a deliberately inane response after the Dixie Chicks fiasco? she's a smart lady!

"STAND AND DELIVER!"

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 8 September 2003 17:22 (twenty-two years ago)

A winner is Alex!

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 8 September 2003 17:35 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm not sure that's a real gorilla

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 8 September 2003 18:00 (twenty-two years ago)

keep in mind that rather than expressing her deep-seated opinion on this issue she was just as likely expressing what she thought (right or no) was the safest, least prickly opinion possible... as i imagine after 10+ years of popstar grooming she has learned to. i would imagine it's almost a reflex at this point.

― amateurist (amateurist), Monday, 8 September 2003 18:11 (twenty-two years ago)

expressing what she thought...

I think the point is that she wasn't really thinking anything. She's letting that genius George W Bush do her thinking for her.

yes, she should stick to the political punditry.

― DAVE, for #1 Hits of yesterday and today! (dave225.3), Friday, 16 June 2006 16:36 (nineteen years ago)

what a bizarre person to be a celebrity. she isn't even remotely talented, and she's incredibly stupid.

oh. wait. yeah.

― Emily B (Emily B), Saturday, 17 June 2006 00:50 (nineteen years ago)

and yet, i heart 'toxic'. still dance around in my pajamas to it.

― Emily B (Emily B), Saturday, 17 June 2006 00:51 (nineteen years ago)

i kind of like her new double-chin, deranged aviator spex look.

― lf (lfam), Saturday, 17 June 2006 03:38 (nineteen years ago)

She just needs a cigarette holder and a fishing hat.

― Marmot 4-Tay (marmotwolof), Saturday, 17 June 2006 03:43 (nineteen years ago)

Let's be honest here -- we ALL need that.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 17 June 2006 03:49 (nineteen years ago)

yes the courtney has been photoshopped...remember elvis had 3 distinct careers, this is the end of britneys first, we can still have the comeback special followed by our lady of sorrows/las vegas division

― anthony easton (anthony), Saturday, 17 June 2006 16:11 (nineteen years ago)

She's going goth:

that's a slight improvement over the fat & trashy look she's been sporting of late (and, yes, i know she's preggers, but i think the flab is more than just the critter she's carrying)

― timmy tannin (pompous), Saturday, 24 June 2006 02:57 (nineteen years ago)

I can't wait for her "Suspicious Minds."

And her "dead-on-a-toilet" phase, as described in Wayne's World.

― billstevejim (billstevejim), Saturday, 24 June 2006 19:06 (nineteen years ago)

I'm going to hold off on Britney fat jokes until at least six months to a year after she's done having babies.

― Marmot 4-Tay: forth-coming, my child. forth-coming most righteous champion (mar, Saturday, 24 June 2006 21:59 (nineteen years ago)

So you're holding off for a long time then?

― Jimmy Mod: NOIZE BOARD GRIL COMPARISON ANALYST (The Famous Jimmy Mod), Sunday, 25 June 2006 00:14 (nineteen years ago)

I dunno, I just think there's no challenge in making fat jokes about a pregnant (or recently pregnant) woman.

― Marmot 4-Tay: forth-coming, my child. forth-coming most righteous champion (mar, Sunday, 25 June 2006 00:19 (nineteen years ago)

fifteen years pass...

I can’t believe the right has not seized upon a narrative that Britney’s rights were taken away because she gave a pro-bush interview to tucker

― Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Sunday, 18 July 2021 20:28 (four years ago)

I doubt today’s “right” is looking to pull Bush/Iraq out of the memory hole (or dredge up a Britney comment no one remembers)

― aging goth couple™ (morrisp), Sunday, 18 July 2021 21:18 (four years ago)

Bush dropped a dog on its head? I don't remember that..

― Mark G, Tuesday, 20 July 2021 09:09 (four years ago)

Neither does the dog :(

― Noel Emits, Tuesday, 20 July 2021 09:16 (four years ago)

Oof this thread title

Alex In NYC very much in character.

― Daniel_Rf, Friday, 23 July 2021 10:04 (four years ago)

Yeah, somehow I've only noticed this thread title today and was a bit... startled !

― AlXTC from Paris, Friday, 23 July 2021 12:20 (four years ago)

Why the fuck is this bumped instead of 100 million other britney threads

― treeship., Friday, 23 July 2021 12:32 (four years ago)

not to be all schoolmarmish but come on

― treeship., Friday, 23 July 2021 12:48 (four years ago)

it would be so funny if we freed britney and she immediately endorsed trump for the next election

It was how I felt then, and it's how I feel now. Do I feel bad about her conservatorship situation? Sure, but that doesn't mean I suddenly think she's eligible for Mensa membership.
