Me and the Christians

[pikachucrackpipe]

you're right we won't because i witnessed what took place first hand and you saw snippets from the 6 o'clock news.

I do see your point. I'm from the south myself, and have come across people who make race an issue quite often, and on both sides of the fence I mean. Trouble is, every society is tiered, if it's not race, it's class. It's up to individuals who are on the short end of the stick to fight their way to the top, or as close as they can (or want to) get. My daddy always told me "Pigs get fat, and hogs get slaughtered." As unlikely as it seems, the fighters almost always rise, just be careful that what you're fighting for isn't a strawman standing in for a real issue.

Did that make sense?

..and game, I'm actually fixing (I hope) the computer that all the pictures are stored on today. Come hither unto me o Knoppix live CD!

wow you sound like someone who likes pikachu and is on crack. You seem to have paranoia about black people getting everything.


stfu
its not like you lost everything you owned and worked for within a matter of a 2-4 hour hurricane passing through and then only be told that you do not qualify for assistance when everyone else around you is getting aid who are of a different race. and your lame attempt at calling me a racist is getting old, fast. perhaps you're too close minded to see what i'm trying to see. in addition, you never went through it so you will never know.

the acts of the hurricane where not racially motivated however the assistance, of lack thereof, was racially motivated.

i guess you forgot that the mayor of new orleans went on national radio and television stating that "new orleans will be a chocolate city once again" and the naacp made their normal big to do over the evacuees in the superdome yet ONLY transported blacks leaving the whites, esp elderly behind to suffer.

This may sound like a coincidence but i was in texas after the destruction My friends are from texas and they where badly affected also. I didn't experience losing a house or anything but i got a better look at the situation than people who watched the news. I was staying at onalaska if your wondering...

i know what you're trying to say but this isn't the thread to do it in. neither is it right to attack people because they see what you are posting and think it's racist, i for one think it is and whether it's your doing or anyone else's isn't the point, it is racist.
you have a right to be angry but start a thread of your own and spew the venom in there and not into the thread of someone who put HIS differences aside and helped people. jesus people will be afraid to post anything in response to the original topic in case you start on them too.
@mthrnite again you astound me the more i learn about you the more you leave me with the thought that this world ain't such a bad place.

Oh yeah, and this thumbs up goes to mthrnite:

 

[thegame07]

I would like to say sorry to mthrnite for stealing his thread for a moment there :'( well back on topic. So mrth is this experience inspired you to do some more work like this

I would like to do some work like that but i often find myself becoming lazy :'( It must be a awesome feeling when you help someone out and you leave them feeling a little happier.

Oh yeah and never leave on a trip without telling anyone first again

it's a good thing your opinion doesn't count for anything and besides the argument is over.

It counts for more than yours, because she speaks reason without insulting anyone, while all you do is rant and insult without a proper cause. Yes, the argument is over, and you lost.

 

[pikachucrackpipe]

how did i lose when others understood what i was saying?
wow talk about using logic

You lose because all you did was shout people into agreeing with whatever you're saying only to stop you from talking further. Wow, epic victory. I tremble before the power of your arguments.

 

[pikachucrackpipe]

..........what?

god damn you don't make sense. all you want to do is try to insult me for insulting others but yet all i did was explain wtf happened first hand. get over yourself already.

and i'm not even sure what to think of this 'winning' statement you are making, i wasn't trying to win anything. i made a post, someone objected and it was argued. we all agreed and it was over with. now you want to try to beat a dead horse when it's apparent you have no idea what it is you are talking about.

just shut up.

 

[tshu]

Everybody should just deal with it and move on.

it was about an hour ago.
forest gump half way figured out what was going on and spewed some crap onto a keyboard that somehow formed words.

So you're saying everyone agreed with the claims of racial profiling you repeated several times? They didn't? Well then, you were wrong, weren't you?

go back and reread the thread again and this time use some of your brain (assuming you have some) and then go lay down a take a nap
remember....... deep breathes

 

[Veho]

remember....... deep breathes

Deep breaths. Remember... first grade spelling lessons.


I read your posts. They start with claims of being discriminated based on your skin colour. You repeat that claim several times in your posts (along with insulting people). In the ensuing argument, what you got people to agree to was that you were there, but no one is convinced you were discriminated in any way. Yes, you did lose a lot. Nobody tried to dispute that. You whine about racism. That you didn't prove, nor did anyone agree with you on that one.

 

[pikachucrackpipe]

well if i can argue enough and get people to simply agree with me, i need to become president.

also, i proved the racism in relation to the aid given after hurricane katrina, i guess you skipped over those posts.

i think its funny that first you brought up this thread again and secondly you are attempting to insult me and yet at the same time trying to say i was wrong for insulting. are you sure you aren't a politician or religious leader?

 

[mthrnite]

Going off topic, friends...
.. we've been here before, let's not go here again.

There's a difference between being a catalyst for debate, and being a troll. PCP's initial post marginally fit the topic but not the spirit of the topic, and from there it pretty much sidestepped a bit and then went to hell. Race inequality was not the topic, religious/non-religious equality was. Stay on topic or be moderated.

You may now resume heaping undeserved praise on my pointy little head, lol, kthxbye!

I did what I did to return a favor to my neighbor who helped me. Helping out a family that had waited TWO YEARS for a little help was a rewarding side-effect. I will do more "charity" work in the future as my time permits me though, and as usual, I'll try to help anyone who needs an ear or a shoulder in the meantime.
