Comments by "turquoisestones" (@turquisestones) on "Will Smith attacks Chris Rock live at the Oscars after joking about his wife" video.

Whatever is between him and his wife is their own business and it doesn't give anyone the right to mock his wife publicly with a joke based on her health condition.

@JOEYZ-nq2gn "it's not private if you host a talk show and air it for the world to see" - So what if the whole world knows? How does that makes it now the whole world's business? If I own a property in L.A. and the whole world knows about it, it still doesn't mean that now anyone can freely dispose of my property. My property is still just my business and not anyone else's.

@SammyJ96 "After that it became public knowledge" - So what if it's public knowledge? "Public knowledge" doesn't amount to "public business". If I have a house in Washington and you know that, it still doesn't mean that you can now freely dispose of my house. My house is still mine and not yours, no matter how much you know about it.

@travelhog "It's a joke. Nothing more. Nothing less" - Sure! And some jokes can be successful and result in a lot of laughter, and some jokes - like those about someone's health condition - can result in insult and consequently getting a deserved punch for that. This was one of those cases. Nothing more. Nothing less. Will crossed the line, but Chris crossed it first. A joke based on someone's poor health condition is an insult, like it or not.

@susanwilde81 "wouldn't be the first time at the oscars a joke was made at the expense of attendees" - Well, remind me when was the last time a joke was made at oscars at the expense of someone's poor health condition?

@JOEYZ-nq2gn "owning a property and airing your affairs and marriage on TV are different things ...try again" - Things are different but the end result is still the same: not your business. However, if you want me to try again, I'll do. Consider a couple, say Jack and Jenny, have a fight and publicly announce that they had cheated once on each other. So if you happen to know that, does this give you the right now to sleep with Jenny? I think the answer is clear.

@travelhog "So what he "insulted" her by telling a joke? Does not give him any right to commit batter" - Yes, it does. In the court the level of insult will always be considered. It's not like as long as you punched someone, you are definitely a 100% guilty criminal and the one who got punched is a 100% innocent victim.

@travelhog What was that joke about?

@JOEYZ-nq2gn "why are jack and Jenny announcing that they cheated?" - Why are you asking about the reason why? Does the reason why they announce really matter here? "Keep your private life private if you don't want scrutiny" - Scrutiny?! Did we even talk about scrutiny? Perhaps, they Jack and Jenny even wanted to have public scrutiny and that's the reason why they announced. However, how does that change the fact that how Jack and Jenny will from now on be treating each other is still to be decided solely by Jack and Jenny? No matter what people are saying now, Jack will still treat Jenny, and Jenny Jack, according to their own decisions, not anyone else's. "so is Jenny obliged to sleep with anyone who approaches her?" - Of course, not! Did I ever even imply that? No matter what and how much you know about Jack and Jenny, you won't have any access into their relationships, unless they allow you. Because their relationships are still their own business, no matter how much you know about it. It's just that simple!

@JOEYZ-nq2gn "yes you did imply that Jenny is obliged to sleep with anyone who approaches her" - No, I didn't imply that. Just for your info, I know better what I implied and what I didn't imply in my own words. "did you not state "does that give you the right to sleep with her" implying I have the sole decision of whether she opens her legs or not ..." - You could have noticed that that was not a statement, but a question. Plus, it was a retorical one. And the only implied answer was "No". That is, you don't have the right to sleep with her. And, of course, she is not obliged to sleep with you. "Also what are you making your private matters public for if you don't want the attention that will come with it?" - When did I say that Jack and Jenny didn't want attention? The whole reason why they made their private matters public might have been exactly that - to get more attention, more hype, and, in the end, more money. But then again, what they will decide upon their relationship will still be up only to them, and you won't have a slightest part in that decision.

@JOEYZ-nq2gn "...are you so dense that you cannot understand your own words ?" - :) Are you so dense that you presume to know better what I meant by my own words? ""does that give you the right to sleep with her" implies that she has no say in whether or not I sleep with her" - Dude, you seem to have a problem with basic logic. No, the question "Does that give you the right to sleep with her?" doesn't imply that she has no say. Perhaps, some dirty mind would see that implication, but that was definitely not my implication. And even logically it is quite an overstretch to say that that kind of implication is present there. It is just like the question "Do you have the right to use that guy's car?" doesn't imply that that guy has no say in allowing or not allowing you to use his car.
