Slippery Sloap

[spathiphyllum]

Well.. we all know artists aint perfect don't we.. So surely boycotting playing music by one of them because of their actions is a slippery slope. When does it stop? So many criminal rappers and some convicted murders, but there music is OK?


I hate double standards and this is a fat one.

Some music even promotes violence and it's still allowed.

What was your post @16:18 Wed 06th Mar 2019 all about JF85?

[JF85]

What was yours at 15:54 about?

[-Talbot-]

It was about informing people that Wacko or his estate do not own the rights to the Beatles songs.

Fairly simple to understand I thought....

[ummmm]

Talbot - he did own them. That's why Him and Paul McCartney fell out.

[JF85]

Thanks, that's really helpful, and you are correct - it is very simple to understand. Let's walk through it:

15:15 I asked whether MJ had bought the Beatles' catalogue. I thought Inremembered reading it somewhere.

15:54 You questioned it, but I was busy on Google and didn't notice.

16:18 I posted the link that confirmed MJ had, in fact, bought the rights, but my search had also shown that McCartney had bought them back.

16:20 I posted the link to confirm the update.

21:00 You asked what my 16:18 post was about, although I thought it was fairly simple to understand.

23:32 I reminded you that you had asked me a question

23:41 You seem to suggest it was me that was missing something.

00:22 You posted a link to confirm what I couldn't work out for myself at 16:20, for which I am very grateful. I had been trying in vain to figure out what it meant. Thankfully it only took you eight hours to agree with me, or I could have been up all night worrying.

I could suggest that my 16:18 and 16:20 posts were intended to be in one comment if I hadn't pressed the wrong button, but nobody would seriously believe I could be that stupid, would they? Fancy, an adult making a textbook error like that!

No you didn't...this is what you said


JF85
In the case of Michael Jackson though, doesn't his estate own the Beatles' catalogue?





My statement was
Thankfully he or his estate does not own the Beatles songs.

ummmm
Talbot - he did own them. That's why Him and Paul McCartney fell out.




Fully aware of that, ummmm

[JF85]

Phew. Thank Goodness you have been able to clear that up. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must have been for you in that eight hour gap between me posting a link to show McCartney had bought back the rights and you doing the same.

Still, not the years McCartney had to wait.

[-Talbot-]

What I said was always clear to me.

It is you who has difficulty in remembering what you have said, JF.

[Spicerack]

Think you'll find it's your fault, Talbot. It's never JF85's fault no matter what howlers he/she/zee comes out with.

"Can you see the subtle difference?"

I see the grammatical subtle difference but the implication of the sentence is the exact same. That he apparently committed the most heinous crime.

I'm just saying it's debatable.

We are all equally 'ignorant' here!

No-one knows what has happened except for the individuals involved.

All we are doing is speculating, and offering our views, with varying degrees of commitment.

No it isn't.

[spathiphyllum]

OK what was umm saying then and how does it differ from my perception of what she's saying?

[-Talbot-]

I might say 'rape is the most heinous of crimes' that doesn't mean to say that I think rape is the number one most horrific crime in a list of horrific crimes.

[spathiphyllum]

No but you are saying it's the most heinous of crimes

[Ellipsis]

> I might say 'rape is the most heinous of crimes' that doesn't mean to say that I think rape is the number one most horrific crime in a list of horrific crimes

Heinous means "utterly odious or wicked" and if something is the most heinous then it is the most odious or wicked; there may be other crimes equally heinous, but none more so.

So, in your example, rape would be number one or at least first equal.

[spathiphyllum]

So now to boycott cardi B also because god forbid radio promotes the ideology that you can drug, and steal from men?
