My dad was born in 1938. When he was very young he met another boy in his neighborhood and quickly became friends with him. They played for hours in front of my dad's house the first day they met. When my dad came inside, his (very pissed off) dad told him, "I don't ever want to see you playing with that ****er boy again." My dad was crushed. He walked into the kitchen and sat at the table near his mom. He started to complain and his mom said, "You heard your dad. He doesn't ever want to see you play with that boy again." So after that they always left the neighborhood to play and remained good friends for years until they lost track of each other. This was in the 40's. It made enough of an impression that my dad told me that story about forty years later. My dad wasn't Politically Correct by any means. He knew the crappiest racist jokes and would tell them just to see how you'd react. I remember him saying once, in his own living room, "Black people are great, everybody should own one." And yet he never failed to treat people with respect who were different than him...unless they lost his respect. He'd tell jokes or make comments about gay people but I found out after he died that not only did he know that my step uncle (unrelated to him) was gay (big family secret), but treated him with dignity and respect. Uncommon in that time period and in that location. I think, for the most part, people who weren't dicks knew that racism was wrong well before our magic enlightenment. It was socially acceptable though. So that just made it easier to be a dick. I think the mods are just trying to make sure that it doesn't become socially acceptable here. |

i lived through the change from socially acceptable to not, in most circles... it was a wild time filled with desperation and promise all at the same time... i was almost a pariah in junior high school because i had so many black friends and wasn't bashful about it, but i didn't care... friends are friends, regardless of race or other circumstances... it just took some people longer to figure it out... and some still haven't... |

An adult male that refers to other males as "bitch" on a regular basis is at the bottom rung of the societal ladder.
Thanks for your support.

Holy Frijole! Look at the greaseball that thinks anything is different today than it was last week or last year.
You are still the same dead-end loser you ever were; don't let a few limp wristed sally-boys on an internet BB get you to thinking you are anything more.

People tell other people to die in an aids fire or drink antifreeze here. In the heat of arguments they call people ****s, pillowbiters or worse. It sounds good to say people just need to use common sense, but when you have a special rule for calling someone a pedophile that doesn't match up with rules about other forms of namecalling, it really leaves the realm of common sense. And what happens if we really believe a guy might be a pedophile? Dane's weird reaction to that subject makes me wonder if there's not some fire creating all that smoke. Like maybe he's been accused in the past or something (pure speculation). Obviously I don't know him so I don't have any idea other than the really weird vibe so I'm not making an accusation. But I still wouldn't let him hang around my kids.

Yeah it's pretty unrealistic to think the same rules apply on the intertubes and in real life.

IMO...power trips and double standards are an interesting study of our humanity.
Outstanding to see it on display for our analysis. Cool stuff - carry on. |
