Down To The Wire 2012 >>POLITICS<<

Last night helped me sleep again. But I'm still scared. Why? Because Romney blatantly lied so many times last night and nobody called him out on it. This country is filled with self-serving idiots and they'll swallow anything this sociopath will say. You know, if you vote for Romney he'll make you rich, too *wink wink*

Shouldn't you go back to Mexico or whichever latin american country you came from since you don't like our political process so much?

That reply was for onifre, who seems to really hate our voting process. I know what I said was politically incorrect, but if he dislikes our system so much, why is he even here? I'm sure there are plenty of spanish speaking places where citizens don't have a say who their emperor dictator is.Added by edit.Onifre is a comedian. Yes, I was just joking with him. I don't really believe he should get out of the country.My question is why do comedians get a free pass for being assholes and yet the moment I made a politically incorrect joke I get a shitload of negatives?Edited by Taz, : No reason given.

What you said used to be true, yes. But in today's politically correct atmosphere, it's the opposite that's true. Only people who are comfortable with the subject enough to joke about it.A friend of mine once told me he used to tell a homophobe by their gay jokes. Nowadays, he can tell a homophobe by how much he avoids the subject. One time he attended a social event with his female best friend. An older couple assumed they were together and said to him someone told them he was... they didn't say it they just said "you know". He wanted to press for it so he pretended not to understand and asked them what they meant. They eventually said quietly as if it was a bad thing that someone told them he was gay.I've also talked to my black friends what they think about this matter and they all told me they don't have a problem with people who say black or other words that white people think are racist words. They only have a problem with people who go over the top trying to avoid appearing like a racist, because that look like they're over-compensating.

Of course it wasn't funny. That's the point. The conversation was between me and him, not me and you. He says he's a comedian. He's made jabs at me many times thinking they were funny but I never thought they were funny. So, this is my jab back at him. You then come barging in here as if you're this wise old man who knows everything about this.Let me ask you something. If 2 black guys call each other niggas out in the street, do you just walk right in between them and tell them to stop hating themselves?You've no context to work with this from. This is between me and that latino comedian. If you don't understand the background, then back the fuck off. Both he and I make tasteless jokes at each other. Deal with it. Funny you should say this, because at the moment I've no black friends. The black friends I told you about have all moved on and we haven't talked for at least a year.Edited by Taz, : No reason given.

Anyway, back to the subject at hand. How the hell is Romney tied with Obama in the polls? I don't get it. Do Americans honestly have this short of an attention span?
