Yes Frank, it should've. But it didn't. I think we gave it a good shot at it, don't you?

Maybe later, when a more serious forum of radio ideas and solutions along this line will be forced upon us.

Thanks for your original post. It sure got ME thinking, thats for sure!<P ID="signature">______________

This string could have been a better meeting of solutions

There's a solution? Really? I'd love to hear it. What are these solutions that have been eluded to?

Inflammatory rhetoric is the talk radio game, is it not? Its a proven fact and I don't know if there is a "solution" considering that's what garners listeners in the big leagues. In fact, Michael Graham just got a new gig in a bigger market from the controversy he started in DC and these guys probably are just bucking to do the same.

Again, I'd love to hear those, "solutions" in a serious discussion though, at this point, I am perplexed as to what these, "solutions" may be.<P ID="signature">______________

What are the solutions Bopst? Who knows? I don't. I'm quizzing the group to pitch in and offer suggestions/solutions. Don't you see that? Why are you throwing the solutions answer back to me? If I had a solution, don't you think I would offer it?

You're about as helpful as a canker sore. But I guess you don't see that. I still respect your opinion. But it just ain't helping this post subject.

Eluded to? No...just hoped for. I too am preplexed as you are as to what these solutions may be. But there must be a solution. I have no idea what it is. There must be hope for a solution Bopst. It could have come from any one of the many bloggers here. But so far no one has discovered it. You seem like a pretty smart guy, I could be wrong. Maybe you could offer a solution. But I doubt it, because Star and Buck Wild just don't seem to be anything you can relate to from reading your posts here that offer nothing toward the subject. So I have no hope that you will offer a solution. I think you're not relatable to this issue.

Your post below, included in its entirety for all to read, has nothing to do with the subject regarding the NAACP and their objection to Star and Buck Wild.

(After reading my/this post a couple of hours later, I have edited it. I'm starting to fall into that old trap of swaying off the subject too...enough already)

Okay, first off, it's "alluded to," not "eluded to." To elude is to evade, to escape; to alude is to make reference to.

Having said that, and having re-read Frank and Steve's posts, I just want to ask: what was the point you were hoping to make? That Richmond is a terrible place to live? Because that's mentioned several times in several different posters' remarks.

Is Star too rough for Richmond?
Very possibly.

Is any aspect of that going to be changed thorough remarks on this board?
Not very likely.

Will people in Richmond and other cities be shocked and offended over the smallest ****ing things?
Yes, they will.

Again, are our comments here going to change that trend?
Nope.

Does Bopst ever have anything worthwhile to add to the discussion?
Not usually.

Seriously, though, what were the solutions you were looking for? If there's an opportunity to improve something through our silly little comments on this board, then I'm all for it. However, if, as I suspect, we're just pissing into the wind here, then why keep telling ourselves it's raining on our feet? We're not going to solve anything here, we're just going to bitch and moan and make pithy comments. Seriously, look around the site and tell me where all the deep thinkers are hanging out. I'd appreciate knowing where the Mensa board is.<P ID="signature">______________

Wow, so taking shots at other board members is going to encourage deep thinking here on the board, how touching. Now, if you are looking for something DEEP, well I could consider a better morning show then one that is full of language offensive to certain people. Now, to defend Star and Buc Wild for a second, the "N" bombs that they drop all morning are covered as not as the 7 dirty words you can't say on the radio....yet the Greaseman got fired in DC for using the same word. Now is this board going to change the world, no.

Note to BigWillieStyle, whom I am replying to. We have something in this country known as the first amendment. It covers the freedom of speech, which I can tell you really could care less about, as long as you are NOT told to shut your ****ing mouth! Funny, how you come down on Steve, Frank and Bopst on their views, but think that we should listen to only you. I have my share of disagreements with some of the people on this board. The common thread though is that we all have something called RESPECT for other views. Sure, Frank and Steve probably don't like Richmond....ok that's their view. They are entitled to it just as YOU are entitled to yours. I am not saying agree with them or be dammed. I am saying that this is a public board, they have the right to post whatever they want to, as much as we do.

Really BigWillie, if you are just concerend about people on a board that are posting what they want, then you are missing the big picture. With a devastating disaster that just hit 3 states, a war that is going to go on for YEARS(and not just in Iraq and Afghanistan), crime up, borders wide open with a message I swear that is INVITING another attack, a government that would rather spend more and more, instead of balancing a budget and taking care of the REAL needs of this country....is this board really the end all of human exsistence for me...NO. If you are looking for a "Mensa" board on here, sad to disappoint you, but this is a RADIO board. Full of diverse thoughts and views. If you want a "Mensa" group, go seek it out, we won't stop you from posting or leaving. It's YOUR right to do what YOU want to do, but DON'T stop others from expressing their views or doing what they want to do with this board.

Now, as for "worthwhile" to the discussion goes, what do you want Bopst to do, kiss your ass and say, oh yes BigWillie, you are the expert on radio always. Get a life BigWillie, because it goes back to the first amendment folks. Well unless you are like BigWillie, who is obviously the board commie(agree with me or be dammed, I am BigWillie LOL). Get the ignorant views on your holier than thou art attitude on here. Keep them coming because I see into your soul, or at least what is left of it!

Dan...

Easy there big guy. Considering how unimportant this board is to you, I'd say you went off the deep end just a little bit. My post did dig at Bopst, yes, and if that caused you personal pain or offense, it wasn't my intent. Didn't realize the lad was so important to you. As far as Steve or Frank go, I was honestly inquiring as to what the larger issues behind the Star and Buc Wild Show were. If it's a closer examination of the socio-political atmosphere of Richmond, then I'm all for it. I was really just asking.

As far as the myriad of problems we're currently experiencing, I hardly need you to tell me about it. I have family in Louisiana, Florida and Mississippi and am keenly aware of the conditions there. I've seen (reservist) family members uprooted from their civilian lives and sent to Iraq and Afghanistan over the past couple of years, also. And I was also exercising my first amendment rights as it applies to this board. I didn't say not to listen to Frank, or Steve, or you, Mr. Evans. Nor did I say I was the ultimate authority on anything, because I freely admit I'm not.

You obviously took that post far too personally, especially for somebody who says, "is this board really the end all of human exsistence for me...NO." No insult to you, Steve, or Frank intended. And as far as you "seeing into my soul," what in God's name would ever make you post that about somebody you've never met before, and only encountered on a computer message board? Seriously. Good luck in everything you do, Dan.

BigWillie, my point to you was simple. If this board is just something we enjoy to post about topics, then why stoop to personal cheap shots. What I did was gave you a dose of what you gave Steve, Frank and Bopst. We all have opinions here, hell I like reading them ALL. Steve and I had a disagreement, and we worked it out like adults. You on the other hand, well ok, you were kind of left handed. You did leave out Bopst though when it comes to right to post. The only one who can tell him wether or not to post is him. This board is full of diverse and unique views. Yes, you are a part of the board, and a part of the diverse and unique views, as we ALL are!

Now as far as what I think of this show, well it's only a matter of time before someone more powerful then any of us steps up and starts talking about getting them off the air. Bob Ukrop, the same holier than thou art man who launched a campaign against Howard Stern will do the same here in due time. CC's goal is simple, with Stern leaving for Siruis, find ANYONE who can shock in anyway possible for ratings. Star and Buc Wild do that, as does Elliot for that matter. Star is just as controversial, for the coarse language, Elliot for the sex themed language. Star however, is offending other African Americans, as well as other people. Is his show too hot for Richmond, IT is for SOME people, but for others, it's their cup of tea. Let them keep doing what they do, Good Ol Bob Ukrop will hail them as the next threat to morality I think sooner than you or I can think of it.
