By all means, sir. Nobody has ever been sincere in asking my permission. Formalities are nice, though.
Yes, and I'm saying that if you want to convince yourself of that perception, then by all means - do it, but you're using all sorts of logical fallacy to convince yourself of that. That doesn't hold true for those of us who don't sit around reading left-wing articles and getting rage-boners because of it. If Al Sharpton has all but ruined the civil-rights movement for you, then he's done literally no damage to it at all for me because I don't watch him and Rachael Maddow all day and ***** about it. I ignore them both and look for less poop-flinging news sources.
I know what the word racism means regardless of how it's been twisted on either side. So does most of society (especially those who experience the negative impacts of racism in person on a regular basis).
An assault rifle is still an assault rifle regardless of what the mainstream media calls an "assault weapon". The real meaning doesn't change simply because there are ignorant people trying to cloud facts with BS. You can
Thanks, Ridge. I want to clarify that I slurred my daughter, not the young man she is seeing. I have nothing but positive things to say about him. If he were white, I would be trying to get her to marry him. There is nothing wrong with the young man, he is a good man. I regret the statement, but I will not retract it, because I see too many others apologize for what they say, or try to backtrack on it.

Nope, no racism on OSA. No Klan members. Nobody defending them.
Clearly I'm just overly PC.
I found this thread by searching the term "mudshark" by the way.
Go back and read it. My discussion with 0311, the poster who used a racial slur and admitted his own racism, ended on better terms than my discussions with his apologists, e.g. rebel-son and TedKennedy. I respect honesty and I respect him shouldering the negative backlash than comes with his beliefs. He also kept his promise to not bring this stuff up again, while his "non-racist" sack riders keep blabbing daily. The sack riders and apologists that litter this board are much worse. They also litter the GOP. You wanted me to start calling them out. I've called out several in this thread. I'll keep it up since I've been tasked with it.
As for the racists and homophobes here, when you guys see someone post that tripe, have at them. The only way we can adequately "police" such speech is to return to pretty strict rules on what can and cannot be discussed, and enforce those rules with bannings.
I don't want to go that direction, but I don't want a board filled with hateful rhetoric either.
As Aristotle would say "strive for the mean".
Aristotle was a bigger punk than Jeff Gordon.I like they way it's being handled. It's just my opinion, but OSA is on a good path, not overly moderated but enough to keep it interesting. As Aristotle would say "strive for the mean".
