Crazy. A private conversation that took place eight years ago goes public. Sounds like the owner of the Clippers. Brave New World. Let's all hope our past private conversations don't go public.
It was Dog the Bounty Hunter."In a shocking world exclusive, The National ENQUIRER and RadarOnline.com – in a joint investigation – has learned that sordid pillow talk caught on an unauthorized sex tape includes a revolting conversation in which the pro wrestling icon unleashed a filthy bigoted attack, littered with the N-word and other disgusting racial insults."
Was the pillow talk with someone of another race? This is very odd.
So you're saying it's fine to be a closeted bigot - the goal is to avoid doing so publicly?Crazy. A private conversation that took place eight years ago goes public. Sounds like the owner of the Clippers. Brave New World. Let's all hope our past private conversations don't go public.
I hadn't heard the sex tape angle to this. Who was he banging on video?

Perhaps in our "Brave New World", we should just avoid racism and bigotry. Wild idea, I know!
Yep. No privacy. Those in glass houses...keep tossing the rocks.Yes. That is what I am saying. In 50 years or less, when we all have Google chips planted in our brains, the crime will move from private speech to private thought.
Who would have thought that the pictures taken of me at FSU well before the invention of electronic media would one day show up on my Facebook page for all my current friends to see. If my employer saw them today they wouldn't care, but there are plenty of employers who might, particularly if they had to tow the government line.
I will bet there is not a person in the locker room who hasn't made what some may call a racist or misogynist or "homophobic" or bigoted or any other remark that could be construed by somebody as offensive.
But, once its public, his employer can do whatever they want.
I suppose the best idea would be to rid yourself of racist, misogynist, bigoted or "homophobic" (not sure why you put that in quotes) thoughts.Yes. That is what I am saying.

Bacardi, you never know what someone "trustworthy" today becomes tomorrow.I suppose the best idea would be to rid yourself of racist, misogynist, bigoted or "homophobic" (not sure why you put that in quotes) thoughts.
And if you're going to express these asinine thoughts, try to be not dumb enough to do so in the presence of a recording device. If I were to say something awful, I'm pretty sure it would simple require common sense to make sure it wasn't being recorded or said in front of someone who's not totally trustworthy. Crazy talk, I know!!
Fair, however I think it's a bit of apples and oranges. Folks who said outrageous crap in the 50s/60s are now generally forgiven assuming they've truly changed and seen the error of their ways.Bacardi, you never know what someone "trustworthy" today becomes tomorrow.
I mostly agree with you, but don't think that the ""something awful" you say in confidence today remains confidential tomorrow.
My parents were both raised in families that were learning how to distance themselves from bad talk, thoughts, actions, etc... that were the norm in their existence.
As a kid, my folks would not tolerate shit behavior or speech, even though they grew up with it.
Do I think they never, ever voiced racist talk? Of course they likely did so.That is how they were raised. If their every spoken word could now come back to haunt them, it would be so far from the truth as to how they later turned out to be...
WWE will however do EVERYTHING for headlines, such as this one.So the WWE won't do anything about all the cheating, chairs over the head, etc. but they take a hard line on racism. lol
Cool. Just remember that you, as all of us, are human.Fair, however I think it's a bit of apples and oranges. Folks who said outrageous crap in the 50s/60s are now generally forgiven assuming they've truly changed and seen the error of their ways.
This isn't a situation where a 50 year old racist blip came back to haunt the Hulkster.

It's not illegal to be a bigot.
He's not in prison, is he. His employer laid him off. That's it
I've said some dumb ish (though honestly nothing that bad and certainly not hateful at all) during my teens and early 20s, but I had a couple things going for me: A) being an unknown person no one gave a crap about and B) the benefit of youth,Cool. Just remember that you, as all of us, are human.
Again, I mostly agree with you, but stay away from acting like you never, ever...
I wasn't telling him what to think, he can think what he wants - I was suggesting the wisest course of action is just not to be a bigoted, racist, misogynist, or homophobe. Once you let go of those petty ass hateful thoughts there's really very little risk of saying something stupid.I wasn't debating that. I was challenging his comment on telling a grown man what he should think in a private conversation.
Where is the line drawn regarding statute of limitations? It's not like these comments from Hogan were made this week. He's just now getting hit for it due to part of his sex tape scandal from years ago.
So the WWE won't do anything about all the cheating, chairs over the head, etc. but they take a hard line on racism. lol
You can't really believe this is due to "political correctness".Political correctness always trumps anything else in terms of what one is allowed to do...

Should a public figure's job not be jeopardized by disparaging remarks?
Seriously, that whole political correctness line is so played out and used as such a scare tactic (perhaps not by you, maybe you're the one who's been manipulated to be fearful - I don't know you so I can't say). The Hulkster is an idiot and got busted on video for it, period. No one to blame but the Hulkster himself.
