Ahem.
Back on topic, please. Grammar simply too darn unrelated, can't let this pass. |

I was doing French translation, my FF3 was stuck in French Grammar, so yes need for space between colons in that instance. Also, stupid emoticon settings on this damned board.
Capitalizing something after the colon doesn't make sense. It's a list or a declaration and shouldn't be capitalized. It's an implied subject for "No need for pauses" wherein the phrase "There is" has been removed. Just like "I" is an implied subject for "Thank you" but nobody uses the phrase "I thank you" anymore. In order to combine it with the previous one, I would have to use a semi-colon because a simple combination wouldn't work. It would form a sentence fragment. Even so, in its current state, each phrase is a sentence fragment and would form a greater sentence fragment. Also, you can't annoy me. It's not remotely possible for anyone other than two people on this board to annoy me. Those two know who they are. |

I laughed my ass off.
"Excuse you," and "goober," sound so funny coming from this dude's mouth. |

I don't blame the mother for getting mad the way she did, either. Any parent would find it offensive, and I'm sure that if her father had been there, fists would have been thrown.
I do think that if it was a photo shoot, they really did cheap out. Doing something like that in the center of Times Square is sloppy looking, as well. I agree with Vulkar that the mother had a right to flip out, but at the same time, I feel that is is partially her fault in the first place. |

It looks like they were doing a photo shoot in Time Square, but they didn't have the typical stuff behind them.
If they didn't want her ogled, they could have done this in a studio somewhere in front of a green screen. But no, they cheaped out and are shouting at people who stop in the background to move. After looking over Boots' other videos, it just seems like he's taping random people to the point that they throw a fit at him because it makes them feel uncomfortable. |

Since I find this to be a serious discussion...
I do agree that she wanted attention. That is without a doubt. However, what she wanted was attention for doing a split in the air, which for even trained gymnasts, is pretty impressive. She did not want the publicity Boots was trying to give, which only attempted to sexualize her, ignoring what she was actually attempting. I cannot at all blame her and her mother for being offended at what he was trying to do. |

I guess... It's like people who wear skanky clothes and are shocked when people are staring! |
| Phoenixocracy Posts: 1550/2746 |
Good question.
She obviously wanted the publicity. And to wear short-shorts?  |
| Cteno Posts: 1375/3416 |
Wait a second... Why was that girl doing that in the middle of Times Square, anyway? Showing off to traffic?  |
| Phoenixocracy Posts: 1545/2746 |
And that, Vince, is why I take away your candy.
In any case, I think that what he is doing is wrong, but some of the stuff is just people asking for it. If some guy was just standing there staring (no camera), there would have been rude looks and that is it. Seriously, don't go out and do things like that without expecting some problems. However, the homeless guy thing was just him being a jerk. |

Unless he died...in a firey explosion...that destroyed all remnants of him. |

This is a bit much. The guy is an idiot, and won't leave anyone alone. Legal or not, someone is going to hurt this guy one day. |

Sorry, I don't trust a .com, albeit lawyers.com. I'd rather have a .gov reference. Find me the US code for that in house.gov, and I'll believe you. Otherwise, I'd sooner trust a journalist (Rogue) than some random crazy (banned) person.
Now, see Title 18 USC Sec. 1801 covers intentional voyeurism, which if that was the purpose of this person in Time Square, and imparts damages based on those actions. See? Was that hard? Providing a legal resource that can be found in the house.gov US Code rather than a provision from lawyers.com that has no citing or resources? |
