[kj] ot: good news!

[Rob Horan]

Because, he was racist but bloody popular - what does that say about
society in the 70's (at his peak)?? I don't dance on anyone's
grave.......

IMHO he was a very funny comedian who didn't give a shit about what
anyone thought about him. He was entitled to his own opinion whether you
agree with it or not and entitled to say it. If you take away that right
just to be politically correct I'm not sure where we would be. Probably
with us smokers outside without any fair debate. I would have thought
that Jokers would not condemn so quickly. Hey, but I'm wrong again about
jokers. Not willing to live and let live, so go on flame me, but it's
not what I thought the joke was about. I liked the guy. I may not have
agreed with his opinions but he had the right to have opinions that were
different to mine. But finally, so say it's good news that anyone is
dead is just sick!

	A 'controversial' British comedian generally labelled as a
racist for the jokes he told although he always denied being so.
	On the flip side, he regularly gave thousands to a variety of
charities in particular disabled, disadvantaged or terminally ill
children.
	In the latter part of his life he spent a great deal of time in
his underpants: "a man needs to feel comfortable" he once told an
interviewer.
	Whether that sentiment ever extended to anyone sharing the same
room is debatable.

 

Oppression and restriction,regulation rule and law,
Seizure of this power is all your revolutions for!
