Adult conversation? In your case, you have quite a few near identical posts over many months about the Danny Masterson trials and sentencing where you've claimed you're not following it closely but you want to see what "physical evidence" there is as your way of downplaying the allegations. You're not looking for a conversation when you pretend you're not following something closely yet have a repeated taking point you use to attack the prosecution.
A lot of men clearly fail at being able to put themselves in the position of women and recognize the different social difficulties/pressures that are placed on them.
Heh.
If you're making an issue of it now, when it's only a hypothetical situation, it seems like a safe assumption that you'd take issue with it if it were to actually happen. That's what I meant.
Half way... because they only seem to see one side of the equation.
From the History of Hockey section:
Ahem. Meaning of 'baroque' used by Russell Brand in denial video
A man who can't speak talking to an audience who can't read.
You make no sense. Like I said, that's a ridiculous assumption to make. I have next to no feelings towards Colbert and simply used him as an example because the right loves to hate on him. If you don't think the right is hypocritical when it comes to this kind of thing then you're simply not paying attention. Just go read the Alec Baldwin thread for proof. Now keep on deflecting.
He was famous 15 years ago. Hosted the MTV Music Awards in 2008 and 2009. Had a major role in the comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall in 2007 and was the main actor in Get Him to the Greek. Those are just a few things that come to mind.
My point is that you're accusing people of acting political and one side of hypocrisy when you're the one politicizing the discussion. As far as I'm aware, Masterson and Brand don't have a known affiliation with either side. People who are "defending" them don't appear to be doing it because of politics. Trying to make this about politics seems like a reach.
I get what you're saying now and I'm sure some aren't doing it because of politics. There's at least a few who are though, it's not hard to figure out when you've seen them post on here for years.
Don't know much about Masterson, but I think Brand has been a bit of a 'darling' lately among people who consider the mainstream media and the (US) government being leftist/woke. There are e.g. a number of YT videos where Brand is supposedly "destroying" people who are seen to be part of the establishment or whatever. Commentators like Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, Matt Walsh and that bozo (just my opinion!) Tucker Carlson have been fairly vocal during recent days about the case and have casted doubts about the authenticity of the accusations. Which is fair enough also, I guess.
Brand is a conspiracy theorist. That doesn't necessarily neatly track to American partisanship in and of itself, but the issues he's talking about a lot recently do track pretty well to the views of a rather large faction of a major American political party (as well as a British political movement that is technically cross-party but identified largely with one of the major parties), and the people who are making a big deal out of defending him tend to affiliate with said major parties.Don't know much about Masterson, but I think Brand has been a bit of a 'darling' lately among people who consider the mainstream media and the (US) government being leftist/woke.

It doesn't mean that Brand is right wing himself; I don't know what he is exactly.
