Fogglethorpe is going to enjoy this:

Wrong, as usual. Cliff could verify it, but why bother him about it? And, why take the trouble for your sake?
| quote | | Ok, and when someone makes statements like Foggle did, filled with racism, anger and insult toward anyone different than he is, I take exception to that. |
|
Ed, please show everyone on this forum where I made a racist statement, in this thread or any previous one. Go ahead, Ed...we'll wait. Anger? You are very shrewd to have detected it. Congratulations. Insult? My comments were not directed at any particular person. If you find them insulting, you must identify with all or some of them. I will only address your comments toward my mother this way: You obviously are devoid of worthy arguments against me, so you hurl desperate insults at my family. Don't worry, though. Everyone on this forum knows how you are. Incidentally, I doubt you'd have the balls to make such comments to my face. And, if you did happen to muster the guts to do so, it would only happen once. Idiot.
| quote | | And I expect more from any human than that to denegrate with hate any other races than the great ole white male. |
|
Again, Ed...we're all still waiting for you to point out exactly what I said that's racist. Maybe you just have your own stereotypical ideas, and feel guilty about it.
| quote | | Advocate the slaughter of any and all animals as long as it's in the interest of humans. |
|
A broad, presumptuous statement...but since we're on it, let me ask you: Are you a vegetarian, Ed? If not, you should shut up.
| quote | | Most parents would PM theri kids to ask what happened, but apparently you condone his thread. |
|
No, Ed...Dad and I have discovered a really cool invention. It's called the telephone. You should get one. Oh, and thanks for validating my original post.

I typically stay out of these threads, but I am going to validate the fact that I am an idiot:
| quote | | If you are a vegetarian because of conscience, and refuse to wear fur because you’re against bludgeoning harp seals, and won’t buy certain shampoos because you’re against animal testing... |
|
I am a vegetarian because of my conscience... therefore, I must concede to the fact that I am an idiot.
| quote | | If, on 9-12-01, you bought a flag at your local dollar store (which is likely owned by Islamic types from the Middle East) and nylon-tied said flag to your car antenna... |
|
Yep, I did this one too... the dollar store was not owned by Islamic types though, and I did remove it before it was worn and tattered...I guess that I am half an idiot on this point. 
| quote | | If you listen to emo, screamo, or any rap/rock hybrid with turntable scratches in the background, you are tone deaf and have bad taste. And, you’re an idiot. |
|
Yep, again, I would have to say that I do listen to rap/rock hybrids with turntable scatches in the background, ergo... I am an idiot
| quote | | If your vocabulary includes frequent use of words like “Dude”, “Bro”, or “Dawg”, you’re an inarticulate nitwit. And, you’re an idiot. |
|
Again, I will have to admit, that on more than a rare occasion, I use similar slang... I am an idiot The thing that really makes me a blooming idiot is the mere fact that I read the post in the first place. Now, while the thread may not be overtly racist, it definitely stinks of covert racism. Simply because someone's culture includes listening to certain types of music, or using certain types of slang; it does not make for an idiot. Not understanding others and assuming that because they are different that they're idiots, makes those that take the time to come up with this garbage the real idiot.

Well done.

"Covert racism"? Please tell me you're joking. If you're serious, then point out the exact phrase(s) that are racist, and explain why. Otherwise, go into a corner and continue sucking your Scooby Doo toothbrush.

Verbatim regurgitation from an After School Special? Or the rantings of a bedwetting whiner? You decide.

You know I started to take the time to point it out to you, but why? If I need to try and explain it then it is moot anyway, and I have way more important things to do other than try to educate you. You can not see it because you seem to see nothing wrong with some of the stuff your thread espouses. This is the last that I will post in this thread, because although idiocy temporarily consumed me and made me respond, I really am not that big of an idiot to engage in an internet argument with the idiot that came up with this post in the first place. BTW, the toothbrush is Rugrats.. not Scooby Doo...

Wow! Can't believe this got trashed, let alone in a single day! There must be allot of people who don't have enough "work" to do, to have time to take the original post serious enough to be offended. I thought it was funny myself. As I said in my earlier post, "Everybody's an a$$hole to somebody!" I guess in some cases though, some are a$$holes to everybody! I think idiocy is another one of those "relative" terms. If one of the "home boy scholars" got plumped down in the jungle amongst the natives and didn't know how to survive the day, he would be deemed an idiot. Obviously, the opposite would be true too. Don't even know why I'm bothering to respond again here, just really blew me away that a joke could turn this sour, this fast, to so many. I think this might be one of those cases where "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." needs applied. Oh well, proves what I already knew, lurk mode's safest. Have a good one!

Incorrect. The truth is, you're running away because I challenged you to back up your statements and you are unable to do so.

Don't sell yourself short.

Ed,I have some questions!Why does the fact that my son and daughter in law have user names explain a lot?What is there to explain? Is it normal because you disagree with someone to insult someone else?I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice it,but I'm the only one to comment BECAUSE IT WAS MY WIFE YOU INSULTED! As far as Fogglethorpe is concerned,I'm his father,not his boss.

What do you disagree with me on? There were many paths this thing took, do you disagree with me that the intent by Foggle was racist, hateful, etc, or my reaction to this, or what?
