JAZZ OWNER LARRY H. MILLER DIED THIS AFTERNOON


Larry H. Miller, who has been suffering from complications from Type 2 Diabetes, died at his home this afternoon. He was 64.

Miller suffered a heart attack last summer and spent two months in the hospital, and earlier this year he had both his legs amputated 6" below the knees.

You can rent Brokeback Mountain at the video store, Spidey. You don't have to hate the man for one little mistake.

I think one strike is fair sometimes...

I hate this kid that sits next to me in one of my classes for constantly texting without turning the beeping noise off.

I hate everyone that had a part in creating American Psycho II.

I hate Ligeia for getting that fucking song stuck in my head for a week.

I could hate Chris Buttars for any one of the popular reasons but I'll pick his general ignorant dipshitdom.

I hated this little kid the other day for giving me a weird look. Just for a second.

I don't know how anyone can say good riddance to a man they did not know. He created jobs, gave out scholarships, started and built companies, funded charities, and much more. he always gave back to the community and was an unselfish person. just because he was rich doesn't mean he was a douche, he worked for his money and was successful because he was smart. None of you knew him, if you did you would have realized he was a really nice guy.

Well the fact that he was an ignorant human being is reason enough to hate him. See unlike you shon I read news papers and and follow up on the happenings of my community. You like many kids who have yet to experience real life just listen to your parents. LHM was not a good person. He was a bigot, a racist, and a down right willfully ignorant person. Do a little research before you open your little mouth shon. Look at the movies he refused to show at his theaters, look into the organizations he donated money to. Look at his track record for debt forgiveness.
And dont get confused, there is a large difference between intelligence and ignorance. I dont think he was stupid by any means, he made lots of money and ran very successful organizations. But at what cost?

All I was doing was defending a man I had the pleasure of knowing. On the other hand miller was not a racist and I will never come to believe that. I don’t know where you got your facts from but just because the media throws out propaganda doesn’t mean it’s true. And just because he didn’t show a film or two at his movie theaters does not make him a bad person, he has the right to take out any movie he likes out of HIS movie theater. And yes I will look at the organizations he donated money to, and the schools, and the charities, and the industries, and companies, etc.

Please brook let me in on all the happenings of the community. Because I guess according to you I do not watch the news or read the newspaper and I also do not catch up on current events and I guess all I do is base my opinions off my parents because I am a shallow person. All I do is show up and base my facts off something a bum once told me. There is a chance you know something that I don’t, so please let me know.

You saying he "Isnt a racist" doesnt hold much water with me shon. I dont really give a fuck what you believe. You also believe in momornism and if you believe that then frankly there isnt shit i can do for you... But maybe hope one day you will wake up and read a book.

Well here is a quick example

Contributor name: LHM Group LLC

Committee name ProtectMarriage.com - Yes On 8, A Project Of California Renewal

Those three are donations in support of prop 8 in california. Who are the two names under the LHM Group you ask? those are the two people in charge of charitable donations in Idaho and Arizona for the LHM Group.

So that is the most recent anti gay contributions that he and his colleagues have made.

Bigotry comes in many forms shon, not just in swastikas and klan robes. This may be a non issue with you because you probably hate gay people as well.

Him not showing movies in his theater because of content is ignorance, no matter how you look at it. Yes they are his theaters and thats why he is in the publics eye when he makes ignorant comments about gay people. And dont even get me started on his refusal to show The Golden Compass. Because thats just insane to me.

If you would like an more in depth portrayal of his business practices please let me know because i can site specific examples there too. He is a crook in every sense of the word when it comes to his car dealerships.
Youre saying he was a good guy because he was good to the people around him. That for me just isnt enough.

What is it about mormonism well christianity in general that breeds ignorance and intolerance?

You're right Trevor. Mila is probably a lovely young lady.

Brokeback Mountain is a solid film. Well, you know, aside from all that gay stuff.
