    Yes. People say mean hurtful things. Sometimes out of ignorance for the problems people face.

    I've seen adults go up to mothers and ask them if they drank and smoked weed when they were pregnant as if it meant that is why their child has a rare condition.

    Will Smith is older now and this issue is a lot closer to him with his wife so perspective can change when issues affect those close to you. You become more knowledgeable on how certain words can devastate people.

    Doesn't mean he shouldn't have been smacked when he was younger.

    Advocating against violence against women while advocating that Will Smith should use violence against Chris Rock.

    I am sorry. But you seem to be simultaneously advocating for, as well as, against violence.

    Not advocating for it. I would prefer people don't make fun of others for their appearance. I would prefer adults and children would be more understanding to people with differences outside the norm.

    But if you do make a comment on someones appearance, if you get smacked upside the head for it, hopefully that person learns to not go there again.

    Look, it was a tasteless joke. It wasn't right. It wasn't right to get physical.

    Nobody is hurt long term, and we all got to joke about it.

    This is about the most pointless thing in the world to be angry about.

    Jim Carey would have sued Will Smith for $200 million if it had been him Smith had smacked.

    "I was sickened," the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 star remarked during the interview, which was recorded on March 28 but only recently made available online. "I was sickened by the standing ovation. I felt like Hollywood is just spineless en masse. It really felt like: 'Oh, this is really a clear indication that we're not the cool club anymore."

    Carrey also made it clear that he felt Smith should have faced more serious repercussions for striking Rock, including possible arrest. Academy sources told Peoplethat Smith's removal from the ceremony was "definitely discussed seriously" in the immediate aftermath of their encounter, while the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that Rock declined to press charges.

    "He didn't want the hassle," Carrey speculated about why the comedian didn't pursue legal action. "I would have announced this morning that I was suing Will for $200 million because that video is going to be there forever. It's going to be ubiquitous. That insult is going to last a very long time."

    Personally, I liked Chris Rock being smacked, especially by Will Smith.

    Then you go and suggest somebody hitting him when he is younger?
    It's a weird place you are at right now with this "Appearance" thing? Just sayin.

    Sure. Call it out. He had a huge stage and all the time in the world to call it out as he was accepting his Oscar.

    Then it wouldn't be a joke.

    But Smith's response cheapened it and made it a joke. But if it got Jada to "suck his dick from the back" I'm good with it. I can't think of a better cause to slap a fool than that!

    No old wounds. Too many people think its ok to say whatever they want without repercussions.

    Disagree. But If one dude gets to try that with his spouse..... a win for all?
