    Bill probably shouldn't have brought up Aziz Ansari without all the facts. The truth is, Aziz has been laying low since the accusation came out, but his show wasn't cancelled, although it hasn't been renewed yet either. To be fair, Aziz already said last year that he's wanted to wait a bit before making any more episodes. Also, I don't recall hearing that he's lost any roles or gigs because of it. I think Ronan's right that after the allegation came out, most people discussed it and pretty much decided that, while he may be a bad date, he's not a predator. If anything, it sparked a conversation regarding dating behavior communication, consent and the responsibilities of both parties.

      I thought the “reporter” that wrote the story was highly irresponsible. I think the woman was confused. She had a bad date where she felt pressure to have sex. The reporter should’ve seen the story for what it was: a bad date where both parties messed up. She should have either not published it or told it in terms that addressed it properly. Men need to do better at understanding what is appropriate behavior on a date. Women need to learn to be forthcoming about what they do or don’t want.
      BTW, Ansari hid for a while but he’s back out in public. It seems he’s been embarrassed but not really hurt by the accusations.

      New Message What a childish, half-witted remark. Which in its time was perhaps funny for the international audience, but even then its content was just not true. Every German school kid is taught several years about the Second World War and the Holocaust than anyone else in the world. As a German, I am always willing to talk about these catastrophic 12 years of our country. However, I don't have the patience to do this with someone who gets most of his historical and political education from British and American pop culture. This ignorance abou real historical events and not getting to the right conclusions for themselves but fingerpointing to others for decades is one of the reasons why America has now to deal with a President Trump and Britain is doing a Brexit. I hope international viewers will not do the same lame and stupid jokes about that in the coming 70 years... Otherwise, Karma is a bitch, baby... LOL

      +ArmAd Spengler I think you're misunderstanding the Basil Fawlty "Don't mention the war" line. The joke was on Fawlty for constantly bringing the war up to a bunch of German guests at his hotel, who had nothing to do with it, several decades after it had ended. He's sending up a certain type of Brit who can't help making dumb stereotypes about other countries. That's why it's funny.

    • @armadspengler2717
      @armadspengler2717 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      MrDragon1968 In my experience as a German, people familiar with this joke bring it up in a conversation to make fun of the German unease about the war guilt and the mass murder in the Holocaust. Just remember how the German guest are actually freaking out in Fawlty Towers when he mentions the war...
      Your reasoning is far too sophisticated and complicated for most of the audience of this old television series. So I think I understand the joke as it is understood by 99 percent of the international audience then and now and it is actually exactly how it is used here by the commentator above as a means to transfer this impression of guilt to today's Germany, over 70 years later.

That part of MeToo is no better than a gossipy comments section on a revenge porn website. Pretending it's a valid "part of the discussion" is at best delusional. Pretending it's in the same universe as rape or serial assault is a miscarriage of journalism.

Unless you fill in a form of your intentions making a move may be a hit or miss. I've had partners coming on where i had no interest .. at first. It didn't lead to any long relationships but at least a few weeks of fun. Nothing i would #metoo about and ruin their lives. I really haven't heard anything from Aziz since this. Damn it >.

    How can anyone not love the Ronan! I was in San Francisco at a club in the soma district. Bill Maher was doing his show "Politically Incorrect" at the time, but still lived in SF. He was in the club. I went to the bar to get my drink. He handed me a flute of champagne. He was very cute, and very respectful. Women were all over him. I didn't tally long though. I went back to my gaggle of women. All the girls were nonstop talking about Bill, and that he gave me a drink, and why I wasn't over there trying to shove other women aside. Not my style. That's my Bill Maher story. Women just loved this guy. It's the humor and respect. He was never a letch, though could have easily gone down that route.

      The Romans also forced those barbarians they conquered to assimilate to their culture and forget their roots and religions. If you didn't conform, you were treated as a second class citizen. Sound familiar?
      They conquered by force and tried to destroy everything that made these people who they were. There is strength in diversity. There is also weakness in diversity "under the illusion of diversity." This constant labeling of gender, race, ethnicity for everything, stuck into every headline is also as big a part of the problem as bombing countries and then refusing their refugees, or treating those refugees as unwelcome/unwilling to give them time to assimilate and adapt. It usually happens within 1 generation, but don't tell trumpets/GOPoopers that.

    Farrow says in regards to media reporting on high-profile harassments, people have the ability to use measured judgment to determine the degree of each case on its own merits...That's pretty naive. The media holds an inordinate power to convict in the court of public opinion, and emotionally-charged issues like harassment would compound the clouding of judgment that has resulted. I think Maher made a good point that Farrow dropped the ball on, appealing to some mythical "guiding hand" of public opinion which miraculously regulates people's judgments on this one issue, but, let's be real, on few others, if any? He's clearly projecting his own measured judgment onto others who, sorry, don't have it. This is one of the greatest fallacies that intelligent people commit--presuming good judgment in others, even far beyond the point when sufficient evidence has been presented that they are lacking it.

      30stmFantasy: I always insisted that he had to be Sinatra’s son too, because considering the circumstances and his uncanny resemblance how could he NOT be? But then I got to thinking: first of all he does look like Mia very much. Secondly, Ronan does not care for Woody Allen because of the molestation allegations and other things against his sister, and his mother’s feelings about Allen. Therefore, if Ronan really KNEW he wasn’t Woody’s son and WAS Sinatra’s, he would have no problem admitting it. So he must know that he is Woody’s son but enjoys people assuming he must be Frank’s. Mia probably enjoys it too, just to spite Allen.

    • @30stmFantasy

      Good logic. A little mystery is always interesting. I had exactly the same first thought but for my second, I went to his intellect thinking Woody is probably smarter than Sinatra.
