He did a very good thing.

He's a sweet boy.

I figured it would just take a few more examples for him to see it.

I know a lot of people complain about Jimmy like HE'S JUST A DUMB so and so but really Jimmy is smart (at least about a variety of things) and sometimes a person has to figure stuff out for themselves.

PS he's still not smart about music though.

Sabbath does rule though. So at least he got that right.

Sabbath is cool. Kiss is the 1970's version of Nickleback in clown makeup.

Ok dude I was at home and had to take a shit really bad and turtling, and when I read your post I literally shit my pants I laughed so hard.

OK TERRIFIC

God isn't finished with Jimmy yet. He's been sending him to the gym and influencing him to eat bettar.

It's not a matter of him being dumb (unintelligent), it's a matter of him being self-centered (all of his opinions are based only on how it effects him) and having double standards (it's okay for his followers to anonymously attack people he doesn't like, but it's not okay for others to attack him anonymously... which is really what his anti-anonymity peeve is based on).

It would be easier for me to overlook his self-centered and double standard opinions if he was unintelligent.

Anyway, yeah, I do give him credit for changing his mind. Let's see how long he holds this new opinion.

This makes sense.

give a man a mask and he will show you his true face.

Yeah, it just took more and more examples for him to finally realize that regular guys can't say things under their real name the way he can. He works in an environment where he's basically his own boss as a standup and with Sirius he's a personality so he has more leeway than the average joe.

Good on him for realizing it's not an equal playing field for all of us. I stupidly made my twitter name my real full name when I first signed up when twitter first started because seeing all the celebrities with their real names I figured that's what I should do. I basically only tweet not offensive funny things and stuff about sports because I know a step further and who knows. That guy who got fired should have a real case on his hands, fired for saying he doesn't agree with Sterling but thinks he has the right to say it. How is that a fireable offence? What a joke.

He was the community manager for the company, basically the main guy that interacts with the fans online. By posting a controversial statement on a twitter account he uses for company business, he's possibly alienating people, literally being bad at his job.

Is it confirmed that it was his work Twitter or his personal Twitter?

It was all from his personal account from everything I see.

Yeah, it seems that if you tell people where you work, you lose your ability to post your opinion online.

Honesty is poison in today's society. So many people despise honesty, and want to control other people's speech because, like Carlin said, that's how you control thought.

It depends on your company's social media policy.

I don't know where this company is, but in CA your political opinions and activity outside of work hours are protected. I don't know if anyone has ever used those laws to defend themselves, though.

Is someone like Sterling EVER outside of work hours? If so, he wasn't protected. But this may be trumped by a waiver he may have signed as agreement to be a part of the Association.

We were talking about the community manager.

I understood that but was wondering why these state laws don't protect someone like Sterling. Not that I think he deserves it but why don't they apply to everyone?

They might. He would have to sue, which he is more than capable of.

But that particular law? Don't think he's an employee of the NBA.

Hmm, really? That's interesting. I wonder though if you waive that right when you sign an acceptable use policy.

Can you sign away your rights?

Why pass a law if every company can just throw a clause in their contract that invalidates it?

I wouldn't be surprised if that's how it works, though.

Yes, you can. Hence the term "sign away your rights".

Not always. When you rent, you can not sign away your right to a habitable home, for example.

What is put in a contract is not always upheld in court. You don't know for sure until you sue.

True. I was being a smartass.

What's controversial about saying that at home, people are entitled to a right to privacy? And his later tweet saying "When you were raised in an era where segregation was perceived as "right", that will stick with some people. Doesn't make him a monster." is that any different than people today who say "retarded" and "gay" to mean stupid.

Well then that's where we disagree about what's controversial. Saying you don't like what someone said but you defend their right to say it? That's basically a cliche at this point.

If you look at youtube comments, people are STILL saying the most vile shit, after google plus forced people to use their real names. It's not anonymity, it's just assholes.

Being an asshole is one thing, but time and time again we have seen in this country, if you have the 'wrong' opinion and voice it under your real name, you are subject to punishment. That's not freedom of speech.

That has nothing to do with freedom of speech.

I respect Jimmy for coming around on this issue.

He's a good boy.

Yeah, you're right, it takes a lot of heart to feel you are correct, realize you were wrong, and then tell everyone else you changed your mind. Jimmy is a good egg.

When he did The privacy episode of Carmody Central I think he turned around and dropped the "act" about mid way through. He admitted he knows its wrong for people to not have privacy but that it's just nice for some hypocrites to get what's coming to them. You can't disagree but than his ex throws the "this is too important for you to be a little faggot about". At least that's my interpretation. I have a bad memory and i listened to it a week ago or when ever it came out.

i take back all the shit i said, sorry jim :(

The boys need to watch some Surveillance camera man

He changed his opinion on that issue, and he immediately flip-flopped his stance on violent video games.

I thought he was using violent video games as a sort of satire. Like these goofs are offended by benign words but not by virtual violence. Jim seemed to imply that both were stupid things to be offended about, but to be offended by one and not the other is even more absurd.

Hmm, I hadn't thought of it like that, I suppose.

Just shows how stupid O&A fans can be if you didn't realize.

And here's a perfect example of an O&A fan being an asshole. Another common and often correct assumption.

Whoa, you really got me there pal

He's a good boy.
