Default Can anyone say "about time"? Dr. Laura

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment...,7871292.story

I think I'll give Dr. Laura (who is no kind of mental health professional) a bit of her own style of advice on this.

You're being too sensitive.

Suck it up, Sunshine.

Apparently her doctoral thesis was on the "Effects of Insulin on 3-0-Methylglucose Transport in Isolated Rat Adipocytes".

From that to shock jock radio?

What am I missing?

The only part where I find irony or her being too sensitive is her caving in and apologizing.

Hard to disagree with this:
Quote:
"self-appointed activist types breed hate, breed anger, breed destruction should anyone hold up a mirror or dare to disagree." She added that the phenomenon could be observed in all aspects of society, from politics to education to the workplace.

i think she be allowed to say it. Black rappers can say 10 billion times against themselves, fuck em. You don't want it used against you, don't promote the use of it in your own communities.

The irony is that just whining about the sort of thing that she would tell anyone, who phoned her show, to "just get over it."

I didn't watch the Larry King stuff but based on the article I don't see it as whining.

I see it as sticking to her guns:

Don't want me to drop the "N" word? Fuck off, I'll say it on YouTube.

You have a right to free speech.

You don't have a right to have someone else pay you for it.

Agree for the 2nd time this morning.

I don't know who listens to her...I've heard of her but that's about it. After hearing the playback I don't think what she said was all that bad. Imho there wasn't anything wrong with the way she used the N word EXCEPT for the fact that she repeated it so many times which seemed a little over the top.

It was probably so liberating for her she got carried away....like a kid that's denied sugar by their mom then goes over to a friend’s house and devours all their candy
