and not really a boxing quote.. he was talking to a reporter or someone in the audience, IIRC.

i'm pretty sure at this stage in his life, he himself wouldn't call that a great quote.. Tyson was in a very bad place mentally, during that time.

that's more of a "person in a downward spiral losing it quote"..

cool, cool, mike tyson said some outrageously homophobic shit 15 years ago.

fuck outta here with that garbage.

wow what did i do to enrage you so bad?  i thought it was a really funny press conference.... is there something wrong with that?

because homophobia of any kind, especially the violent kind, is vile. why the hell would you celebrate it?

no identity of my own? you called me a poli-correct super left wing douche bag in the preceding sentence. if that's not an identity, i don't know what is. you can't have it both ways.

to answer your question: it's great. "political correctness" is a chickenshit term used by people who don't like to feel uncomfortable when their power is challenged by the people they oppress. when someone says it, what they mean is, e.g., "i really wish i could still get away with calling women who don't want to have sex with me 'cold bitches' without anyone calling me out on it." being left wing means that i believe that power -- financial, political, social, cultural -- should be shared equitably among all people, rather than concentrated in a few hands and wielded to oppress the majority. currently the world mainly follows the latter model, but fighting to move people toward greater equality and against oppression gives my life purpose. i'm pretty okay with that.

as far as being a douche bag: if i've been rude to you sometimes, i apologize. i was more patient as a little kid than i am as an adult and that bothers me sometimes. you are deeply irritating as an online presence. sometimes you make good posts and i like to follow your training, but a lot of the time i wish it were easier to avoid you. you make that difficult by spamming the board with so many threads.
