Russell Brand: "When I was poor and I complained ..."

94. How did I know you'd have a resentful comment about my using the term

"child?" I thought, 'wait for it...' and didn't have to wait for long. No one said that "going overboard" meant opposing the war w/o violence. You must have missed the part where I mentioned I'd been involved with much of that myself. Going overboard meant some of the rhetoric Fonda used (check Snopes again) and such things as being photographed with those against whom the U.S., rightly or wrongly, were fighting (on their tanks).

I am 95% sure you weren't around at that time because you were quick to take personal insult ( drives me nuts when I can't have a rational argument with someone without them getting personal---the first sign of immaturity). Your obvious unfamiliarity with the term "Hanoi Jane" and the picture on the tank are the first clue. ( There IS a certain benefit in having been there at that time). Ignoring everything I said that was NOT disagreeing with you or giving you credit for good points made, just seizing on anything I said that you could disagree with are even bigger clues. A calm and rational discussion would be nice sometime. I'll be waiting and be disappointed if you just come back with more taking personal affront.
