Yeah, I'm sure that's true, too, since Jack is such an intellectual and I can't imagine he'd want to excuse his own stupidity for getting hooked in the first place. And, boy, what a great spokesman 'adrenalin junkie' Jack will be for your side in the WoSD debate.
That's right I forgot. Nobody who favors drugs legalization actually uses the stuff.
Like it! Would love to know if he actually responds!
I watched Siskel and Ebert in the 70's when they created their original show. I was bummed when the network gave the show to Medved and the other guy. Then Siskel and Ebert resurfaced and I ALWAYS agreed with Siskel over Ebert. No matter how bogus the 'expression pictures'of Siskel were, used during his fight against brain cancer, I was still glad to have his voice and opinions. My husband and I still watch Ebert and Roeper but it will never be the same enjoyable show that it was with Siskel. Gene, you are sorely missed by many down here!
He did respond.
He made fun of my real name and then said he didn't read past that.
Real substantive, eh?
So much for his claim of being an intelekshuwal.
"That's right I forgot. Nobody who favors drugs legalization actually uses the stuff."
Certainly not to the extent you WoSD advocates do, that's for sure.
Wow. How embarrassing for him! He's a right poseur! Real mature of him to make fun of your name. The intellectual capacity of those on television just keeps plummeting
Actually I don't even drink so you pick the wrong guy for that observation bubba.
I guess I should be surprised he even wrote back.
I wrote a message to Roger Ebert once, and he took the time to write back a letter that was several paragraphs long. And he didn't make fun of my name ONCE!!
Though I disagree with Ebert's politics, at least he has class.
So far as I have ever seen, Roeper is neither a good movie reviewer nor a good writer, most of his columns being silly fluff.
His movie reviewing is bad, as I said. He just reviewed the movie "Curious George" and gave it thumbs down because it was not adult enough and that it was too much for little kids.
DUH!! IT'S CURIOUS GEORGE a book written for 5-year-old kids!!! What a nitwit.
"Actually I don't even drink so you pick the wrong guy for that observation bubba."
And your posts are so indicative of your sobriety. /sarc
Riiiiight.
What kind of neurosis leads a man to turn down an invitation that would never ever come?
LOL
Of course not, dewd!--hey, don't bogart that thing!
bfl
That's the best you've got, huh? This is why I become less concerned about legalization every time I come across a drug-addled libertarian on FR: You have damaged your brain to the extent that you lack the imagination for a more intelligent comeback than "I know you are, but what am I?"
Roeper is a joke.
Keep it. I'm happy enough without needing to alter my reality.
Chicago sure does seem to have its share of clueless bozos. This clown "Richard Roeper" - - is he fresh out of college?
Chicago is totally socialist, I've lived here for decades, it's getting worse (Same can be said about most of the state of Illinois)
Does this guy actually get paid for writing? It's been a while since I have read such a disjointed piece.
Here's the deal, God: You send us back Gene Siskel. We send You Richard Roeper.
...No? Oh, well. I probably wouldn't make that deal either, if I were You.
