I understand your opinion Waves and all your justificatins....



But this is all I see.....

If you have to clarify if your 'joke' isn't racist consider that for a moment.

If we're going to start citing what rules are SUPPOSED () to be enforced here......

FFA & PC are BOTH unacceptable places for these comments, and if I have to start deciding what is and isn't intended to be racist.....

Well.... I'm not going there.

But if I start weeding it out of one forum, according to the rules and equanimity, I'm handling ALL of the forums that way.

It's not allowed here and I feel I'm being WAY more nice about this than I actually need to be.... And I'm not going to single out one person for it.






And for the record Waves, I put you in the hypocrisy as well, in case you didn't see that.

Using racism (no matter how well intentioned ) to fight racism is ridiculous and I know you are more able bodied in an argument or situation than that.

Like I said... if you have to clarify it...


I'm pretty sure this is an "I got in trouble, why didn't he" situation.

If you have in fact all of a sudden become concerned about racism here at Yahooka, mind your own tongue and also feel free to speak up against it (but not WITH it) and tell people what is on your mind.

Self Policing is what I'm saying, but not trolling either...

And report shit more often if you feel it's happening. Because in my eyes, I see your Jew comments about as often or MORE so than I see J spouting off about this race or that race.

I'm willing to admit, my opinion is based on experience and what I see, so if you are REALLY concerned about this, do your duty as a community member, speaking up using your ample gray matter to speak your mind in a constructive way and/or follow the proper channels to the Mods.... with the report button.




Racism doesn't over come racism.


I see where you are coming from with your thoughts to me Waves, but I don't like where it's going necessarily.... so please consider what I said and stamp out what you don't like in a positive and constructive way.

cuz I can't understand what they're saying and I know that a lot of people who speak arabic have some militant ideas.

I mean I dunno I don't like it when anyone speaks any language I don't understand around me.

Personally, I get bugged out when I see English speaking people looking at white sheets in a department store!







I kid I kid.....


But seriously man....
What is that founded on?
How do you 'know' they have militant ideas
or
Are you just trolling?

nah man not trolling.

I know that there's a lot of anti-american sentiments among muslim communities because I've seen plenty of footage, even on esteemed liberal channels like WGBH to know that there's a pretty big arabic community that kind of has it in for us.

"kind of has it in for us" ?


It's cool man, that just caught me off guard in the wording of all that.

So it's more like a yellow than an orange threat?

I encourage you to reach out and say hi to one of 'them' next time you're on the bus or tram.... maybe they 'have it in for you' because they have the same 'facts' about you that you have on them?

I'd rather sit quietly and worry than be the weird dude trying to start a convo about religion on the train. yeah yellow alert is a good way to put it. But I dunno like I said I don't like it when people speak ANY language I don't know around me. I wish I had google translator on a chip I could plug into my brain, that'd be sweet.

Start a talk about religion?

Never said that ma' Friend.

Dem' A-rabs talk about other stuffs too

I know it's weird... but it's true some times....
I've actually talked to a couple, despite what the news told me to think.

In Vancouver 7/10 times I was on the bus I had no idea what was being said around me, in about 5 different language on top of that. Call me crazy, but enjoyed being the minority in that situation.

Although, I DO agree, I wish I had Google-Trans in my head though....

my tongue in cheek response to capts post was "those sikh sons of bitches".... because capt here says islam makes him feel so much better than those other religions.... and having a bunch of muslims there is better for him than having jews, hindus, sikhs etc.... the "thank god those sikhs dont run the place" was obviouly like what capt would be saying based on his post.... it was sposd to be me talking in his voice based on his quote....

why would i have a problem with sikhs, they are one of hte most peaceful groups of people out there. jesus.

Basically, from this post on down there are a couple-few of comments aimed in your direction, including the post where I quoted you as well....

Read the thread Brother..... this comment wasn't that great man, that is... not appropriate.

there is no way Capt will agree with any of those statements

I agree with the post above this quoted one and what you said prior to this...

But man... that's some bad stuff to put into the Universe right there....
Make sure your smoke detectors are working bub




Unless you meant a metaphorical fire....


The fire of unjust bias,
All consuming,
Coming back to haunt him in mysterious way.

Like being 'burned up' because of your own views of the world, that limit the vast potential for connection and discovery.
