Stop talking... You are supposing a condition that does not exist.

If they have a reputation for lack of self control, don’t you both think that they may just have earned it from incident after incident?

Yeah… Stop talking…

You are supposing a condition that does not exist.

Do you remember what caused the downfall of the show? Let me remind you. One of Hall's producers was gay. He was casting actors for a skit called "The Buttmaster". This producer wasn't content at just viewing casting candidates, he had to demean and to lay hands on them. You tell me. Has the population of San Francisco not amply demonstrated that when it comes to self control, that they have none? Do any of you remember Arsenio Hall’s talk show?

You tell me. Has the population of San Francisco not amply demonstrated that when it comes to self control, that they have none?

Do either of you think if said person was put in the stocks on Castro, do you think it could or would happen? Sort of like letting prisoners know a certain inmate abused a child. IT HAPPENS!

And if that is indeed how he meant it, then I share his sentiment, and that was pretty much my reaction too... It was tasteless, and just all around in very poor humor.
