So your say Lost since its a reflection of society its OK
If society desided killing gays was cool, racism and slavery was cool, uethanizing babies becuase of population controls, killing the infirm and elderly was cool.... we shpould just go along for the ride.... because its a reflection of society???
BTW sometimes I am an ignorant asshole but you'd never hear me call ANY woman a 'ho', any one in the family 'N word', beat a female, etc.
So the reflection of society is BS - its a reflection of an uneducted part of society - that much I might agree on- but society as a whole - NO
should imus be fired?

Imus to Sue CBS
Former radio talk show host Don Imus has hired one of the country's top trial lawyers to sue CBS Radio following his dismissal last month for making racial and sexual on-air comments about members of the Rutgers University women's basketball team.
Attorney Martin Garbus told CNN Wednesday that he has agreed to represent Imus in a wrongful breach of contract suit against his former employer.
Garbus would not disclose when he was retained by Imus but said he plans to file an action against CBS in the near future. Calls made to Imus by CNN were not returned.
A CBS spokesman declined comment.
Imus had $40 million remaining on a multiyear contact that began in 2006 and included a clause that CBS wanted him to be "irreverent" and "controversial," according to CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, who was shown part of the contract.
"Company (CBS Radio) acknowledges that Artist's (Imus') services to be rendered hereunder are of a unique, extraordinary, irreverent, intellectual, topical, controversial and personal character and that programs of the same general type and nature containing these components are desired by Company and are consistent with Company rules and policies."
Toobin said the legal issues in the Imus case are simple: "Did Imus breach his contract by saying what he did about the Rutgers basketball team?"
CBS dismissed Imus on April 12, eight days after he called the Rutgers players "nappy-headed 'hos" on his radio show, "Imus in the Morning."
"What stands out in the contract is he is supposed to be controversial and irreverent. That's what his statement about the Rutgers basketball team was," Toobin said.
"How is CBS going to argue that what he said was so controversial and so offensive that it isn't what they asked for in the contract?"

While I think what he did and said was horrible, he might actually have a leg to stand on here if CBS told him to be irreverent and controversial

"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"
