Yeah, because that's relevant information, and that's how context works. We see this in courts of law. Why can't we look at history and consider the present at the same time?
- tomhoward 8y ago> that's how context works When people invoke this quote they never examine the context. There's every possibility that this comment was self-deprecating as much as mocking his users, but that possibility is never explored. People just deliriously portray him as this deeply odious Dr Evil-like villain in the making, and can't actually imagine a goofy 19-year-old saying goofy 19-year-old shit.
