Oxymore Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Jeff commented on the Billie & Norah picture I'd like to see the comment Jeff replied to. (from devonator77)
tubbyfox Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Spasticity just means something that has gone into spasm, usually a muscle. You can also have spastic colon which is a spasm in the colon and is very painful. You don't really get spastic nerves, but that's the joke really, that if your nerves have gone into spasm then maybe you're jumpy and twitchy. In the 70s in UK "spastic" was used a lot as an offensive word against people who had cerebral palsy and therefore became completely politically incorrect (see Life on Mars the UK version). If this term was not used in the US then there is no way Billie Joe would know about it and I doubt very much he would want to cause offense. PS Sufferers of Cerebral Palsy were actually called spastics legitimately years ago (just in the UK again?, I don't know), and there was a charity called the Spastics Society, so I don't when or why it was changed. Presumably because it's harder use "Cerebral Palsy" as an offensive term.

Oxymore Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Being an Idiot I'm proud to have supported him. His pic made me happy
Hermione Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Awesome! Go Tre Also I just want to mention his jacket
Heather. Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Tre looks like a bad tourist Glad he saw that he was inundated with love and that the rest are a "few bad apples." (Although the bad apples run the internet, don't they...)
Lauren Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 I missed the whole rude comments on Tre's pictures thing. What exactly happened? Were people just saying things like "nice boobs" and stuff? Why is that even considered offensive? She's wearing a very low cut top. She's obviously proud of her body and wants to show it off. What's wrong with getting compliments about it? I heard a few people say that we're supposed to be super respectful and stuff, but come on, what about Tre?! He says disrespectful stuff all the time, and we always laugh about it (well, I mean, most people do, but I sometimes get offended or annoyed by it). However, if people were calling her a slut and stuff... well, that's not fair. While what she's wearing shows that she's proud of her body, it doesn't mean she's a slut. or if they were threatening her or something. I don't know what happened. but someone here mentioned some people saying things like "nice boobs", which I honestly don't think should be taken as an offense. I know that can't be all that was said, though, otherwise this wouldn't have been such a huge deal. What else happened?

Nah they weren't just saying nice boobs, they were going on and on about only her boobs not in a polite way but in a lecherous and disrespectful way, taking about whether they were fake, and making nasty comments about her and Tre's relationship with her as well. It was totally rude and inappropriate, that's why it was a huge deal.

It was totally rude and inappropriate, that's why it was a huge deal. This is the reason why I get so angry. Why do fans feel they can be rude, nasty and disrespectful about Tre, his relationship and his obviously very attractive girlfriend? It annoys me as fans feel as the can and are allowed to say stuff about Tres Girlfriend, Sara. She has done nothing to deserve it and it allow makes me resentful and angry and quite confused; as if it was concerning Billie Joe and Adrienne there would be an absolute field day and outcry and comment after comnent; blocking and removal of disrespecting fans; account susupensions, personal attackts, threads about it. There would absolute carage if it was about Billie wife. It the simple fact thet fans feel they are free to do so and say anything they want about Tres and his other half while even if someone said even "Billie and Norah look cute together" -- which I did - and guess what happens - you get a traid of attacks etc etc. Time for a rule change. Hopefully in future that fans acknowledge that they cannot and should expect consquences for attacking Tre and Sara and that she should get the same level of respect. I hope those fans get the message that they cannot go around making comments about her just like you cannot make any commenta about Billie and Adrienne. Fairness is better.

Fairness is better.Yeah you've made this point several times, but the thing is it doesn't really have anything to do with Billie and Adrienne so there isn't really any need to mention them. Unfortunately we live in a sexist society where it's seen to be more acceptable to make disrespectful comments about women who look or dress a certain way, I'm pretty sure that's the reason Sara is more likely to be a target than Adrienne, rather than because of which band member they're with or anything to do with their personalities. Basically disrespecting anyone you don't know for no good reason isn't OK, I think we both agree on that. And I think it's clear to see that most fans (especially here on GDC) agree with that as well whichever wife or girlfriend we're talking about, so there isn't much need to compare.

Can you just stop...what has this got to do with Adrienne and Billie ..NOTHING ...you keep bringing it up on nearly every comment you make and its bullshit. If you have a problem with Adrienne fine but quit broadcasting it constantly on nearly every comment its extremely annoying...Mods?!
Beezey Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Can you just stop...what has this got to do with Adrienne and Billie ..NOTHING ...you keep bringing it up on nearly every comment you make and its bullshit. If you have a problem with Adrienne fine but quit broadcasting it constantly on nearly every comment its extremely annoying...Mods?! all I am saying that there should be equal respect. You are attacking me for that???? - I was saying and agreeing that it was out of order to say stuff about Tre and Sara and stating that there should be an equal level of respect - but apparently I am getting bashed for stating that it actually it is inequal. I have not did or said anything wrong. Bashing me for agreeing with the wrongness of it all and stating that there should be fairness. I am making a valid point. YOU obvious believe I am making some time of put down to her for agreeing and stating that is out of order and saying that there should be a level of fairness and equality of respect? She derseve the same level as respect. Its obvious there is a problem and you have a problem with the concept of equal respect. Its quite clear is no levels of equal respect. You have a problem with the concept of all wives and girlfriends deserving the same level of respect? Its a relevant and justified point. You obvious believe that she should get special treatment for the way you bashing me for no good reason. It is truly sad. I flipping argreeing with the fact its out of order slagging of Tres Girfriend and that its true and people feel free slag off anyone else and I am making valid point. its completely horrible that I am getting attacked for making a point about equal repsect because there is NO EQUAL RESPECT. SO BECAUSE I AGREED THAT TRES GIRLDFRIEND SHOULD HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF REPSECT AND CALLING FOR EQUAL RESPECT AND POINTNG OUT THAT THERE DOESNT SEEM TO BE AN EQUAL LEVEL OF RESPECT I AM GETTING ATTACKED AND PROBABLY THREATED ABOUT GETTING ANOTHER WARNNING. OMG. THERE IS OBVIOUS NO EQUAL REPSECT WITH ALL YOUR BULYING. EQUAL RESPECT IS SUCH A DISGUSTING THING TO SAY TOWARDS ADRIENNE ARMSTRONG ISNT IT????? GOBSMACKED.
Iva Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Argh, that's just silliness. It should be the intent that matters with words and it's clear Billie doesn't have any intent to offend, I doubt he even knows the meaning it has and how people feel about it here. Come to think of it I remember it being on the news when Tiger Woods called himself a "spaz" once. It definitely still offends people here so Americans that aren't aware of that are at risk of causing offense to UK people I suppose. I think younger people are getting to think of it as less offensive and more just an American slang term though, it's a long time since people with cerebral palsy were called spastics and you hear Americans say spaz on TV and stuff a lot, I didn't think of it the offensive way either just because I'm so used to that. This is weird. Then what did you guys do when Jazz Jackrabbit II came out, given that one of the major characters is called Spaz? O___o

This is almost exactly what you posted last time....stop repeating it again and again. And no i dont have a problem with equal respect as YOU keep bringing up time and time again....I respect all their wives/girlfriends.. if they are happy they are happy end of.. Plus ts you who keeps bringing up the same thing again and again no one else YOU!.. Give it a break already. And im not bullying you you just seem highly sensitive to everything....And yes i get your point without you having to use capitals, bold and underlining. seriously il go back and count how many times youve commented this over and over again. Stop.
Heather. Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Yeah I find it kind of boring to bring up Adrienne when this is about Tre's girlfriend. Point made, point taken. Anyway. I missed the whole rude comments on Tre's pictures thing. What exactly happened? Were people just saying things like "nice boobs" and stuff? Why is that even considered offensive? She's wearing a very low cut top. She's obviously proud of her body and wants to show it off. What's wrong with getting compliments about it?

I know that can't be all that was said, though, otherwise this wouldn't have been such a huge deal. What else happened? I agree 100% Lauren (if it was the case that all they were saying was "nice boobs", which apparently it wasn't, people were actually being derogatory.) But I REALLY echo your point about Tre saying disrespectful stuff all the time himself, and a history of saying even sexist things at times, or just being a guy, who himself I'm sure is impressed by her "nice boobs". Obviously people took it too far in saying he's only with her for the boobs, or whatever shit, but I'm sure whatever people have said is no more offensive than things Tre has said in his past. I'm glad he didn't get all stuck up about it and forgave the fans though. You have to have a thick skin when you're a celebrity and just brush this kind of shit off. Clearly Billie does a good job of it, or at least has chosen to mostly ignore comments to protect himself, because in the past he used to angrily respond. Mike himself went through a cautious phase with Instagram, until he embraced the fuck it attitude and just threw himself headlong into it.
Hermione Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 This is weird. Then what did you guys do when Jazz Jackrabbit II came out, given that one of the major characters is called Spaz? O___oHmm I don't know if that was mainstream enough for people to have noticed. If there was a character called that in a major film or game or something I imagine they'd try to change it for the UK version if they could, it wouldn't go down well here.all I am saying that there should be equal respect.

GOBSMACKED.It's fine that you made the point about Adrienne/equal respect and I agree with it. However, there's no need to keep saying it over and over especially when really it's off topic. I now ask that you and everyone else drops the subject, not because there's anything wrong with what you said but because it's been said now and it doesn't have anything to do with the topic of the thread. Let's move on and discuss Instagram photos.
Oxymore Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 TO MOVE ON, finally, an old pic of Mike on a horse. Hem hem.
