Posting about the Crypt once every six months <> staring down the rich man's table.

You're usually much less aggressive than this, AA. It's kinda weird.

He finally goes out into the world as Mr. White and experiences all sorts of surprises....white people dont charge each other anything at retail locations, white people can get huge loans from banks with little or no credit or income, and, in perhaps the funniest stint, when there are no black people on public transportation, the bus becomes a party atmosphere with cocktails, music, and comfort women.

I am laughing just thinking about this skit. Has anyone else seen it? You usually see it every now and then on the "Best of SNL" specials.

I saw that when it first aired. Very, very funny,

BTW, Eddie Murphy is not old school SNL - that would be:

Dan Akroyd
John Belushi
Chevy Chase
Jane Curtain
Garret Morris
Bill Murray
Lorraine Newman
Gilda Radner

Attributing characteristics to someone while they disagree with you is aggressive.

If I repeatedly said you were in love with Simon Cowell, despite lack of any evidence and against your repeated denials, that would be aggressive.

So if I say you have really pleasant facial features, and you insist that you don't, but I repeat it, I am being aggressive? And is this smart alecky?

Just to be clear, I have no position on your facial features. I do think you are being overly sensitive, as AA was most certainyl not being aggressive.

If I continue to insist he was being aggressive, am I being aggressive?

I didn't even know there was a "Crypt" before this thread. I guess it explains why folks sometimes disappear in the middle of debates ... must be where they go to cry.

According to you, yes. To me, no.
