Re: Present Company Included
I'll have you know that I would have aced that intermediate course in Half Baked Rhetoric if the campus of Johannesburg Community College hadn't been flooded with that cheap dope back in '91. All right, the typing course was a washout, but what can I say.
However, your assertion that I'm ignoring the complexities of the issue is absolutely untrue. I have always maintained that intent is irrelevant, and if you don't take my word for it you're a fuckwit. Since I got kicked out of the library for tearing up copies of Tom Sawyer, I can't and won't provide backup for any of my claims. You think you're such a bigshot for having read Swift and Voltaire, but I assume they either don't exist or they're racists who hide behind that Manichaean "satire" excuse. If Henry Louis Gates disagrees with hate-speech legislation, he's either an Uncle Tom or he's white. I don't live in America, so free speech has nothing to do with this issue.
Did I call you a Nazi yet in this post? Well, you're a Nazi.
regards,
Esteban Hambre

FYI, it is a bhang pipe, not a "bong". It seriously grieves me that you, of all people, would propagate this fictional impression which replaces actual data. Thus contributing to the denigration of alternative consciousness afficionados en masse.
What's next? Crushingly oppressive and inequitable marijuana legislation?

Re: Tolerance and maturity
That essay on my site was just one side of it, and remember the site was also supposed to be FUNNY.
Of course they (characters targeted in racist jokes)don't exist - the purpose is to create a fictional impression which replaces actual data.
The purpose is deemed by the person using it. A tool has a set of tasks it can perform, but the current task it is used for is decided by who wields it. Same thing with jokes. As the 'user' of the joke my purpose is comedy.
your "anti-racism" is really just a cover for actual racism, B2P.
Yes, indeed! Just like the Evilutionist's innocent 'skepticism' is really a cover for their hatred of the Truth, the One Divine! They'll stop at nothing to battle the God that they know exists and loves them because they're WICKED! WICKED!!!
See how silly that sounds? Yeah, same thing applies to your accusation of my Racist Conspiracy(TM).
(Edited in)
That essay on my site wasn't the one I was offering to show, by the way. The one you saw was, again, written more to be funny than to prove a point(the point being that white people get made fun of in the current popular media). But still, the last part of my essay was definetely anything but racist.
"We are all ONE people under God." Or something like that.
Yes, that's horribly racist! It's clear from that statement: I hate every ethnic race but my own, and I believe that God does as well! Hopefully you can detect the sarcasm in the last two sentences?
Do us all a favor and help Mammuthus and Hambre in their digging. Maybe you'll find some buried treasure. We all know how much you like shiney things

Re: Here we go...
Your use of the word "bullshit" is quite derogatory. I'll have you know that I have 20 bulls of my own, and their shit is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Please refrain from bringing your self-lifting, maniacal aims towards bull elimination on this board. You cannot fool us. Under the disguise of an exclamatory statement, your use of the word is really meant to increase global tension towards bulls, with the end result being their complete and utter destruction. You are no better than Hitler. In fact, you are WORSE than Hitler. At least Hitler recognized the need for Bulls in our world. I am now going to ask the admins to ban you from this forum.

actually, a better analogy would be tye creation "scientists"; they want to wearbthe cloak of science for spurious legimiacy, just as you wear the clothes of anti-racism in pursuit of racism.
If you publish material on your site that also appears on racist hate sites, I do not see why I cannot conclude you share their aims. you are, after all, propagating their ideology.

You know Glordag, the first requirement for a parodist is that they understand what they are parodying.

And IS there any global tension toward bulls?
Sigh. This is like shooting fish in a barrel, especially when the fish produce the same stupid and ignorant parody time after time. It must be that 3 second memory thing.

If you were an animal rights activist you would think that the mass butchering of bovids for food and clothing was an issue of global tension. Or the genetic manipulation via cloning research or artificial selection was a threat to the biodiversity of the species not to mention the environmental destruction caused by mass ranching....but then when you make an insult it does not count as dehumanizing..or in this case de-bullshit-izing

And there you go...you obviously are a racist scum roach since you wish to kill fish by shooting them...it does not matter whether this is your intent since that is irrelevant..it has been proven in studies I am not going to cite since you have to prove my opinions are wrong not vice versa..that shooting fish is the desensitizing step towards genocide...so by mentioning shooting fish, you are propagating the hate speech that leads to genocide...you genocidal nazi you....we never would have guessed it

Peace!
If you publish material on your site that also appears on racist hate sites, I do not see why I cannot conclude you share their aims. you are, after all, propagating their ideology.
I don't know of any other sites that have published my material. I haven't given them permission. If they have, please tell me what sites have done so.
If you meant that they've said similar things, well screw 'em. They're not me, I'm not them. Just because these hate sites and myself may agree that white people get put down in the media doesn't mean we both hate every other color. Kind of like how Mammuthus and I both think you're a whiney, bleeding-heart right wing Thought Policeman, but we don't agree on much else.

This is like shooting fish in a barrel
As a barrel maker I must protest. Your denigration of barrels and attempt to connect barrels with the slaughter of innocent fish has not gone unnoticed.
To you they well be only hoops and stays, but for many it was barrels that carried the flour, tar and feathers and enabled people to live through the harshest winter.
Racist bigoted speech such as yours can never be tolerated.

I thought we were telling jokes. Or, at least, emulating the Platonic exemplar of being "not quite serious".

I think Betta was a little before my time (don't know her at all). I do miss Desdamona, however. Never before had I seen such... actually, I don't think there is a word to describe her condition. The closest word I can think of right now is "crackpot".
