  • I worked at a bread store for a while that had a couple good slogans:

    Old Mill Bread: We knead your dough.

    Old Mill Bread: Get your buns in here.

    You know, people rarely troll in real life conversation.

    How funny would it be if Obama and Clinton were debating their health care policies and Edwards just butted in with "oh yea Hillary, well I heard your husband has herpes".

    I find that my mood and the events of the day may change my approach a great deal. I tend to be very calculating, with a level temperament, but a certain event can add a degree of emphasis to any given topic, making my expression take more of a personal tone.
    

    Take racism for example. Since I have black friends that deal with it daily, I do take it personally, and my posts generally reflect the emotional investment I have in those situations.

    The opposite is true with the Palin attacks. I disagree with anyone attacking her religious views. However, since I don't share her views, I don't take it personally when they are attacked. I simply disagree with the act itself. If I were a christian, I might show more emotion when I post comments concerning those attacks.
    

    I suppose on the issues people feel very strongly about, it's almost like an insult when anyone else attempts to slight their views or assert that they are illogical. I think the reason why the more mature posters argue most fervently is because of the life experiences that have molded their opinions. When you think about racism or religious persecution, it makes a world of difference whether you can recall actual events or your opinion is based on something you read in a book.

    I guess your comment was basically that we make no progress by arguing these topics on a message board. To which I'd have to agree. It doesn't mean that we can't find arguing them entertaining though

    Sums it up pretty well.

    My opinion is this:

    If our society cannot  handle a White History month, a white pride day, etc, etc then they need to get rid of all "race related celebrated holidays."

     

    I learn white history all the time, no need for it.  Black History Month isn't somthing that was just pulled out of the ass to show any type of segeration or diffrence. I'm sure (even myself) many people  learn possibly more history on white americans than black americans. Also how there is no need for White Entertainment Television. I flip channels and see a (VERY) highy majority on every channel.

    But you know I mean Enigma your maybe like at least 15+ years older than me. I'm sure you have had a very diffrent experience than I have.

     

    You live in America...therefore white history is much, much more pertinent than black history. 

    To sum up black history: Inner-continental war, inner-continental war, inner-continental slavery, inner-continental slavery, europeans have an interest in our natural resources, we like the white man's guns and they buy our rival's pow's, oh no the middle passage, we don't get any wages, that sucks, the north won, wages rule, mlk, rodney king, i believe i should get a job based on my skin color rather than qualifications, form equal opportunity, reverse racism.

    In short: You don't hear much about African history because they didn't write shit down and Europeans played a very, very large role in Africa's past, excluding the hundreds of years of inner-continental tribe wars prior to the Europeans' arrival. 

    Black history month is perpetuating racism, and glorifying a past that has little to do with the development of America's history.

    Freudian Slip? Chris Farley is incredibly unfunny and overrated.  I hate comedians that rely on an increase in volume to make things funny.
