Is that Harrison Ford's (younger) head on someone else's body?

Did anyone catch Donald on Larry King? He is a bigger asshole then I thought

I could not believe what he was saying

He was acting like a 10 year old, calling her names, didn't have his facts straight and even talked about his conversation with Barbara Walters, oy vay, she's ain't going to be too happy with him right now

I couldn't believe the level of vitriol expressed in that conversation. Rosie is a comedian so people expect her to sometimes say outlandish things (not that she even did) but can you imagine living with that (Trump) every day? Jeezus.

He even insulted truck drivers

Does he have any clue that he is making himself look like a complete asshole?

No. His hubris is quite remarkable.

irishgrl · #**444** 12-21-2006, 09:58 PM

not to me.......I fully expected him to make an ass of himself.

Okay... my apologies in advance for kicking this contentious thread back up again... but I thought I would share a little bit of my "day-in-the-life" with you...

So yesterday I was walking down Bleecker Street minding my bidness, plugged into my iPod, etc. I passed one of those bodegas selling cheap silver jewelry on the sidewalk to tourists, and a black, seemingly homeless man was standing out front grinning. And for a nanosecond I glanced over when he glanced at me. He smiled and said "Happy New Year," while, of course, holding out his change cup. I replied tersely, "Hey, you too," as I passed him. Then all of the sudden he starts shouting to me at the top of his lungs: "Hey, you know karate, right?"

Oh great... thanks for the humiliation.

I had already passed him and pretended not to hear him since I had my headphones on. My immediate gut reaction was that guy was an idiot. But why did he single me out? It's one thing if we were in some backwoods town where minorities didn't exist, but this is NYC for chrissakes! Or maybe it was some indirect compliment that I looked tough enough to kick some behind?

(and if I had a nickel for every black man that asked me how much I benched...

). What if I had fired back with something snarky like "well, you know how to braid hair, right?" Would that have put him in his place or would it just make me look as stupid?

Of course this isn't the first time I've been subjected to this, but definitely the first time in NYC. It's the 21st century, y'all; it's time to lose the playground mentality, mmmkay?

^ You say he appeared to be homeless? Perhaps he was pissed off that you appeared to have money & didn't give him any, so he wanted to try & hurt you in some way, or make you feel inferior to him.

Like that was going to help matters & suddenly make you want to give him your money.

I know I'm in a more generous mood when I'm insulted.

You could have told him you would perform some karate if he could kindly accompany you on bongos and sing a rousing version Harry Belafonte's Bananaboat song.

That would have been priceless.

Oh, I forgot - why do black men ask you how much you bench? ???

That is so high school!

Some homeless man on a bike asked me last week if I had heard that Magic Johnson had died. I said no, and then he looked at me disgusted and said I clearly wasn't a Lakers fan. WTF?
