I already had it revoked back in 1995 when I admitted I loved that movie 'Clueless'.

It seems like Ed's man card would primarily entitle you to hang out with him and garbon and some boys in a yard and be fabulous.

I don't see why that would be the case. Casting my support doesn't mean that is what Ed is limited to. :huh:

Valmy & cars do not mix.  He's the lone exception to the MEN DRIVE rule.

Damn straight.  Hate cars.

Man Card: REVOKED.

QuoteDisgraced Clippers owner Donald Sterling launched into an extended tirade against Magic Johnson, saying that the Lakers legend should be "ashamed" of being HIV-positive and suggesting that he hasn't financially supported minority communities.

...

When the topic turned to Johnson, however, the 80-year-old Sterling launched into multiple, extended diatribes against one of the most popular NBA players of all time.

"What has he done? Can you tell me? Big Magic Johnson, what has he done? He's got AIDS, " Sterling told CNN. "Did he do any business? Did he help anybody in South LA? ... What kind of guy goes to every city and has sex with every girl and catches AIDS?"

Sterling was just getting started.

"What kind of guy goes to every city, has sex with every girl, then he goes and catches HIV," he said. "Is that someone we want to respect and tell our kids about? I think he should be ashamed of himself. I think he should go into the background. And what does he do for black people? He hasn't done anything.

"Here's a man I don't know if I should say this, he acts so holy. He made love with every girl in every city in America, and he had AIDS, and when he had those AIDS, I went to my synagogue and I prayed for him. I hoped he could live and be well. I didn't criticize him. I could have. Is he an example for children? You know, because he has money, he's able to treat himself. But Magic Johnson is irrelevant in this thing. He didn't do anything harmful to anybody and I respect him and I admire everything that he does. I'd like to help even more if he would offer me an opportunity to help. I like to help minorities."

"If I said anything wrong, I'm sorry. He's a good person. I mean, what am I going to say? Has he done everything he can do to help minorities? I don't think so. But I'll say it, he's great. But I don't think he's a good example for the children of Los Angeles."
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

The only thing that could possibly excuse Sterling at this point is dementia.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Actually, his excuse seems to be that he's not racist;  he just as nasty as he can get away with being to  everyone and if he's sometimes been nastier to minorities, it's just because society's racism has allowed to to get away with more against them.

:hmm: That's a pretty clever line of attack, but I'm not buying it.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I see Sterling has started his version of a charm offensive.

His excuse seems  to be that he was trying to get  laid.

I would not touch that with a ten-foot pole.

You are correct.  But it would be her decision.
