As for Politically Incorrect sometimes the show is really bad and sometimes it
is good. I liked that particular show. But I didn't think the odds of rightie
and leftie were really unfair. The only ones that really seemed to know their
politics were Bill Maher and Betsy. The actor, comedien, and model didn't
contribute too much. Plus Betsy repeatedly cut off everybody every time they
tried to talk so I am sure the righties got their say.
ERIN: I think they just overeacted because the TONE she said this was
ridiculous. Ian was trying to point out that instead of taking the attitude
of "Stop your whining and shove it" and to try to see their suffering.
Handouts might not be the way to go but the attitude she displayed was
disgusting. The attitude she displayed is NOT the attitude you are
displaying. You can empathisize with 3rd world without giving them money or
tell them to stop their whining.

ERIN: First Howie's Axis of Gluttony was joke but does make a point about the
Axis of evil that goes on in poverty is related axis of evil in the rich(
gluttony). We are not to blame for our prosperous situation but neither are
those in the axis of evil!!!! Just think if you were brought up in that
situation you have a high probability of becoming a terrorist. Is it really
fair to blame somebody for the situation they were raised in?
Bill is not putting the rich as the evil ones he is just doing a comparison
ratio of what somebody consumes; what somebody has/ what they give. I think it
is admirable to see the "evil" of your own behavior then point the finger at
the other side.
