I am very pleased that we all rose above the nastiness and made ammends. As I said, the people I have met here are Grade "A". We all tend to go too far with our posts sometimes as the anonomity of the internet often leaves one intoxiocated with
posting power. I have really enjoyed meeting people like LJ, Nanker, Pug, Throbby, SS, Lugar, Nellcote, Fiji, TomL, Riffhard, StoneDoug, Oldkr(BKRROTN), Gazza,Pdog, Jaxx, Jizz(quicky in Sunrise), and many others....I know some of us have real differences that will never be remedied, but by in large, most of us are looking to have a little fun and find mutual love for a band known as "The Rolling Stones". I will make one apperence this tour, in Louisville, and will hold an official meet and greet at bar in "The Brown Hotel"...RSVP's are reccommended.

Couldn't agree more with you buddy - all you are a bunch of harmless, neat Stones nuts. Nobody is really nasty here, even the lil Feeje is a cute, respectable kid trying to find his ways - and not some fucked-up retard I thought he was.
Good luck

Returning to the original theme of this thread: It looks like there's a lot less agreement today about whether the JonBenet case has been solved. |

I am liking this whole new change in direction that we are witnessing in this thread. I too would like to extend an olive branch to any,and all,that I may have pissed off in the past. Having said that there will,no doubt,be occassions in the future where some of us will butt heads on issues,but this new tone is much better than we have been dealing with as of late.
I think that we are all just concerned that our favorite band may not be making enough money. We are worried that the worm has turned with regards to the Stones popularity,and that the grosses are not encouraging. It's no wonder we fight! We are witnessing the long shadows of the Stones' carreer catching up with us,and them. It's taking it's toll on our collective mood. I hope that the Stones continue to screw an appreciative audience over for at least three more tours. I'm not feeling right when the Stones aren't soaking their fans for our hard earned money and we don't grab our ankles willingly. It makes us fight.

I hope so too. I know I don't want to have to smuggle my iPod onto the plane in my ass. If you don't get a ticket, my extra is available, FL6 Row 19, by the B stage. I had to offer my extra to my brother who got me my Roseland ticket first. He passed on it so it's available to you if you don't score a better ticket.

US media disgraces itself once again
Rush to judgment in the JonBenet Ramsey case
By David Walsh
19 August 2006
WSWS
(clip)
By late Friday afternoon the Ramsey case had settled back into the second or third slot on the cable news programs. Anchors and reporters and experts offered no explanations as to why only 48 hours earlier they had moved in for the kill. They were onto the next sensationalized story (“Bomb threat note found on plane, police say,” “September 11th hero remained anonymous till now,” etc.). No media or public figure ever accounts for any of the distortions, lies and disasters that occur in American life.
From the beginning, in its treatment of the JonBenet Ramsey murder the American media has pandered to and encouraged the very worst instincts in the population: prurience, a fascination with the lives of the wealthy, obsession with celebrity in general. The television networks, daily newspapers and weekly news magazines have wallowed in the gutter in this case and so many others—the Simpson trial, Michael Jackson’s legal problems, the Chandra Levy and Laci Peterson murders, etc.
The Ramsey case shows the media at its ugliest, most shallow and most ignorant. No doubt a political motive was involved here too. The terror bomb plot in Britain was threatening to unravel, or at least disappoint, the war in Lebanon had not achieved US aims, the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are disastrous. The media instinctively strove to change the subject. What does it know best, what makes it most comfortable? The intersection of sex scandals or sex crimes with the lives of rich or famous people.
Both the billionaires who own and operate America’s “free press” and its leading figures, for the most part, are human refuse. They write or say whatever suits their immediate purposes, which corresponds to the economic and political interests of the largest corporations, the richest individuals and the most predatory circles in Washington. They lie as ordinary people draw breath.
Their behavior in the Ramsey case is of a piece with everything else they do. Nothing they write or say should be given the slightest credibility.

“Three year war in Iraq is less than thirty day old bombing of Lebanon which is less than explosive Gatorade on a plane which is all chickshit to break in the ten year old murder case.”
