Skyrad 0 #26 July 7, 2012 Quote Quote I'm happy that we finally get recognition and our own day. And we didn't even have to get systematically kidnapped, separated from our families, beaten, chained, raped, murdered and enslaved for 300 years to qualify for it. Yay us! When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyrad 0 #27 July 7, 2012 QuoteI'm sure the Blacks and Jews who fought in the Revolution would be quite offended. I'm not offended... I just think he is ignorant. Whats Jews got to do with this, he didn't mention Jews?When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

christelsabine 1 #28 July 7, 2012 Quote Quote I am offended though, by Quade's continued ignorant usage of the Franklin Rattlesnake. Edit: typo I am SO glad you're SO up on your history, except, of course, who's flag that particular symbol flew on. Tsk, tsk. The name you're looking for is "Gadsden." The first one. Not his son; he was a class A-1 prick. The original designed Gadsden flag snake is looking to the left (DONT TREAD ON ME), yours to the right side dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davjohns 1 #29 July 7, 2012 I thought it was always the Jews?I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RonD1120 62 #33 July 7, 2012 QuoteQuoteA lot of our founding fathers were fucked up. If you base your entire political belief system on dogmatic adherence to what they believed was right (I'm looking at you, Tea Party), then it kind of blows your theories out of the water when you're reminded how fucked up slavery was and how these same guys who are otherwise so seemingly faultless and sacrosanct when it comes to some issues, were completely and utterly in the wrong about something as basic as "all men are created equal." Your ignorance is astounding, Quade. Care to elaborate on how "a lot of the Founders were fucked up"... despite the fact that all of them recognized the flaws of man and of Human Nature, which is why they gave us the Constitutionally Limited Republic with DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES... not a democracy... ...to prevent the flaws of man and of human nature (and the power of factions as spoken about in the Federalist Papers) from subverting the rights of the people through the desires of money and power. QuoteIf you base your entire political belief system on dogmatic adherence to what they believed was right (I'm looking at you, Tea Party), Tea Party Principles: 1) Return to Limited Government 2) Follow the Constitution 3) Low taxes 4) RESPONSIBLE spending Care to elaborate on this "political belief system on dogmatic adherence to what they believed was right". And once again... I'm not a Tea Party member. Now don't start making sense and put him on the spot.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy9o8 3 #34 July 7, 2012 Quote CR makes his living being controversial just like many others e.g., Rush Limbaugh. More power to them. They are funny and entertaining. Agreed, with this part. Entertainers' stock in trade is publicity. In that context, there's almost no such thing as bad publicity; IOW, it's almost always a net gain. Even "Perris Dude's" stock in trade has increased by all the folks talking about him in that other thread about Dan B.C.'s book. Gotta laugh; he effectively hijacked that thread without posting a single word in it (under that handle). Now that's power. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a matter of scale, recency, decency, and sequelae. You'd make a lousy historian, on several levels. But as is your general pattern on these boards, you do make a fair-to-middling troll.

davjohns 1 #39 July 7, 2012 QuoteSlavery existed in many parts of the world up until the 19th century. only African-American still complain about it. Ummmm...still exists in many parts of the world. It doesn't get much play in the US. But every time I deploy, we have to go through mandatory training on human trafficking. In general, Americans of all persuassions have no idea how good they have it. They complain about things that many people in the world would rejoice over. Chris Rock appears to be one. He's likely in his mansion, with his garage full of sports cars, tweeting on his fancy phone, lamenting how hard it is to be him in America. Forget about the rest of the world...I would likely swap places with him.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Andy9o8 3 #41 July 7, 2012 Quote It doesn't get much play in the US. That's because most of it is in the Third World, which is largely ignored by US news media. Sudan? Where? Who gives a shit? QuoteIn general, Americans of all persuassions have no idea how good they have it. They complain about things that many people in the world would rejoice over. I have a friend who immigrated here from Iran as a teenager. He likes to wryly use the phrase "First World problems" when he hears Americans bitch about that sort of thing. Like when our fridge in the kitchen broke down and my kids bitched about having to suffer the indignity of walking the extra distance into our garage where the second refrigerator we own is located. First World problems, kids, you're makin' me cry. And take the trash out while you're going out there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, Walter E. Williams has made the same basic statement on the radio a year or two back. And, he is a black man, college professor. Bill Cosby and Alvin Poussaint, also. But their points still do not invalidate my reply to Mr. Troll: that the reason why our history of slavery still resonates in American culture is because of scale, recency, decency, and sequelae. That notion, and the arguments of Williams, Cosby and Poussaint, far from being mutually exclusive, co-exist in harmony. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
