With the reaction that this has gotten, you'd think that Kanye raped Taylor. Why has this little event caused more controversy than say, R. Kelly and what he has physically done to underage girls? It's all because he somewhat wants to be hated, like Samantha said. I don't think he expected this much unnessesary negative attention, but he knew before hand that he was going to get some. Liz, if you can't handle yourself drunk, don't drink? Well, I'd agree if life were just a bowl of cherries but it's not. You start drinking, and your judgment goes very quickly. What you are basically saying is that you dissaprove of any and every person that has done anything regrettable when they were drunk. The only difference is that 99.9% of us don't have MILLIONS of people watching us. Kate, I would agree with you completely, but Kanye is too talented to just shun right now. The fame has gotten to his head and maybe this time he realizes it. The only question now is if he has learned anything from this. If he has, great, let's keep him. If not, I agree that he probably should be taken less seriously. When he insulted George W. Bush after Katrina, I agreed, it was a very important issue to be angry about. The VMAs? He takes the music industry very seriously, but NO ONE should ever take MTV that seriously. Megan, I’m not “butt hurt” over anything.

I think Kanye wants to be hated. It's his thing; it's how he stays fresh in people's minds. Like Lady Gaga's outrageous outfits, or Paris Hiton's partying, for example. It's all part of the show. It's how he keeps himself relevant. While I agree that there are numberless worse things that have been done by many other people, the issue is having respect for others, which he does not seem to have. I really do think that he does it on purpose though. He's fully aware of the reaction he will get, and he milks it for all he can. Interesting dialogue going on here, and I’d like to weigh in.

You, Jesse, are the one who made it a bigger deal than it should be by getting so butt hurt about it... I love Kanye's music and will continue to love it. He is, however, a jackass...

Why would he want Beyonce to have the award if it was so phony? I agree with Kate's assessment that his actions lacked any sense of decorum. Drunkenness is no excuse - if you can't control yourself when you're drinking, don't drink! It's not an issue of being able to speak your mind (which he is clearly capable of doing). It's a matter of doing so while showing some sense of decency. I agree with the president on almost nothing - except for his reaction to the escapade (VMA Awards, not Kate's escapade)when he called him a "jackass." Kanye West has proven his character on numerous occasions. For me, it's a simple matter of choosing not to listen to him - or his music - because he does not represent the values I hold, nor those I wish to instill in my children. And as long as Joe Wilson has been dragged into it, he spoke his mind based on fact. He'd read the bill in question and knew exactly what he was talking about. Was his outburst ok? Nope. Mr. West's outburst was based on his own opinion. Both men exercised bad timing. But in the end, Mr. West is being held to one set of rules, while Rep. Wilson is being blasted and rebuked over something that has happened on a multitude of occasions during presidential addresses. Funny how no one seemed to notice then... If the concern is that Wilson should be run outta town on a rail, you better be willing to hold West to the same standard. Most teenagers know exactly who Kenya West is. Wonder how many teenagers know who Rep. Wilson is? Both, in the end, are public figures, regardless. If you're going to hold a set of standards for one of them, better make jolly sure you're willing to hold that same set for the other one.

I would agree though, that his antics are no comparison to Michael Vick or TI or countless others. They are way bigger idiots than Kayne, he just happened to be my topic of choice for the day. If this had been his first ridiculous outburst, I would have just let it slide, however, he has quite a history of arrogant,inappropriate and rude behavior...and it's time for the public to say ENOUGH!

Then why should we boycott him? Was he abusing animals like Micheal Vick? Was he violating his parole in dangerous ways like TI? No, he wasn't. The only deference between the general public and Kanye West is that he is more confident than most. Everyone does regrettable things when they are intoxicated, the only difference is that we aren't all on TV.
