Oh...I see...everyone else is racist!

That is not true. I am not even a "redistributionist."

This could be a much better country for all of us, except the few who fail to understand the meaning of "enough".

[BT]

If you are a socialist you are a redistributionist. Socialism doesn't work any other way.

[Xavier_Onassis]

Call it anything you wish.  I really do not care.

And so it goes

well actually the definition of poor is diferent today. in my time poor means have little or no possesions. today you can have a fifty inch tv and be in massive debt. credit availability I truely believe is a large factor to the problems.

I agree with you.

Is the intrest in student debt a bigger issue than why it is that these students are carrying so much debt in the first place?

   This seems like a good time to praise the courage and generosity that XO displays by attempting to present arguments here where we conservative sorts ahve become a majority.

   It would cost him nothing to leave us unenlightened as to his thoughts.

    "Socialist" would be an accurate description of a major part of our citizenry, maybe even our commander in cheif, so it isn't a small or unimjportant part of the population .

   My couriosity about what XO thinks on this subject takes into account that he is well educated and well traveled and incredibly still has come to diffrent conclusions than I have reguards to the way the world works.

   My couriosity is intense to learn the way of thought that I can hardly think myself, and in return for XO being generous with his thoughts I can bear to maintain a minimum politeness.


  Lets be appreciative and treat XO with due respect, perhaps we can come to attract some of the other Liberals to post more than they do, I miss them .

I agree......as acutely wrong as he might be, in claims & accusations, he demonstrates a superior will and fortitude, that is severely lacking in his other liberal/socialist brethren.  I do appreciate his efforts....at trying to defend what is largely an indefensible position.  Yet he still perseveres.

Rescue Me: Sensitivity Training in HD!!! |LMAO|

not true chinese hate everyone not just asians

[Plane]

  I have been to those "sensitivity " training seminars, all civil servants do this.
  Truely some of the instructors are clueless ,...., but that doesn't make it a bad idea.
   Even though only a few really benefit, lots of us benefit because those few improve.

A clever episode.

Someone who says Koreans have "the best produce" doesn't know much about produce and where it comes from.

I don't think most Koreans would have resented that remark. "You people have the best produce" is hardly insulting.

It is dumb to assume that anyone is better or worse at anything because of who they are.

[kimba1]

The subject of whats offensive is a very complex subject. Ex. Alot of african- american simply cannot understand calling themselve the n- word undermine thier chances of people not calling them that.

Most people prefer the subject tolerates the insult as a harmless jest, but don't understand such tolerance tend to always ends with great disrespect to said subject.

Ever notice nobody ever greatly respect a person who takes alot of ribbing. They tend to be the but of more jokes later on.

[Xavier_Onassis]

Black people have rather a lot of contradictory views on things. Perhaps a majority of them prefer to live in mostly White neighborhoods and do not seem to think things through too logically. The use of the "n=word" is a prime example of this. It is used in more or less the same way that White Southerners sometimes call each other slurs like Sumbitch and bastard. This is also demeaning, but not a racial slur.

Once I mentioned that I sometimes bought winter clothes at thrift shops, and one of my students said "how can you do that?" You don't know who wore it before you!" So I had to ask her if she had ever eaten in a restaurant with the restaurant silverware, or slept in a hotel on sheets that may have been used by someone else. I have seen similar reactions from silly White women, of course.

[Christians4LessGvt]

i won't buy used shoes, used socks, or used underwear.
i also refuse to use those "loaner socks" at shoe stores.
my God that is sick!
would not buy a used mattress either
i have bought a used suit, used shirt, used coat, used slacks/jeans....

[Xavier_Onassis]

I have never seen any loaner socks at any shoe store.

Is that a regional thing? I have never ever heard of it.

I see no reason to buy used underwear of socks, as these are not expensive when new.

But there really is no danger if you washed them, perhaps with a small bit of bleach.

There is nothing you could catch from used shoes if they had not been worn for several weeks.

Sneakers you can simply wash in the machine.

[kimba1]

I had no idea some of those items can be bought used and I frequent thrift stores. i got some serious blinders on.
