Vick and his dogs

Aaronssongs says-

Another example of why we don't have real discussions here. Why, in a discussion of the reprehensible actions of a Mega-star like Vick, do you have to equate it to Iraq??

Because everything is related, whether you care to see it or not.

And- why play the race card?

I didn't see ANY indictment of black people or culture in any of the posts in this thread, nor even a mention of skin color. You saw what you wanted to see so you could throw race into the discussion.
There was also no mention of Iraq, until you threw it in the mix.

See there, by what you have said, you have, in essence, called me "a liar".....which, sir, I am not. Evidently, you didn't go back through the thread, thoroughly enough....and I'm not about to do it for you..
You have made up your mind which side you're on..and that is perfectly "fine".
Does not affect me one iota.
People, here on this board, seem to want it both ways...they can bandy about
"slurs" and epithets, aimed toward people they have contempt for...mostly minorities, and "the left"....and when they get so riled up, they let loose innuendo, and often "in your face" commentary about "race", "sexual orientation", or "one's character"...call them on it...and they go right into disclaimers and denial, and accusations of "you" playing the race card.....problem is "black folk' and hispanics and asians, and most everybody else ain't in positions of power and authority....that would be "white folk"...sad , but true...And if you're in the driver's seat...you get to call the shots...and everyone don't play by the rules...given that, we usually get the short end of the stick...we just recently have had our fill, and we are starting to voice our discontent....and because the guilty are feeling guilty...they don't want to be reminded that they haven't been on the "up and up"...and are starting to feel a little warm under the collar....good. Because what's right is right, and what's wrong is wrong....and you know God ain't that fond of "pretty", but He sho' don't like "ugly"...and what went around is starting to come back around...adjust your seat belts, cuz it's going to be a "bumpy ride".


Race card--- Yes you did.
No I didn't ....I answered the race card being played....with " a trump ".

If "polarization in Atlanta" is what you are referring to, then you should realize that it has been going on for a long time, even before Vick was a toddler. The indictment is of idiots who think fighting dogs is sport and a worthwhile pursuit, and I am sure many white people are engaged in it as well. How about cockfighting? If i say it is bad and reprehensible, am I indicting Hispanics?

Hogwash

My answer was clear and to the point. I played no race card. If I say Chinese in a sentence, you will insist it is another race card, Huh?
This is pointless, except that it agaiin proves my original point and that I am as guilty as others in going off on tangents, something I seldom do.

Note to Brian -
This character aaronsongs is a race-baiter and hate monger that moves from one insult to another. IMO he should be permanently banned.
Thank you.

I concur Socal, he adds nothing to this forum but hatred and insults. I have had enough of this poser. I've got better things to do (like sew or some other gag gag female thing to do) than read his tripe hatefilled posts. :thumbdown:

Just think, Aaron.....if you chase everybody away, this website might crash. That would be your ultimate revenge. Gotta hand it to ya.........you might in fact be working some sort of grand strategy deserving of respect. Props......you got my props.

Oh, Pino...you got me all wrong....all I did was come to the site and express my humble POV, and what did I get but a "firestorm" of hate, innuendo, insults, "banning", and outrage that I had the audacity to express myself...demonstrating a unique perspective, based on who I am , and where I came from...but, instead of that being welcomed and celebrated, I was attacked, by you, and many here, who have since been reprimanded, banned, and others that simply "caved in", and "gave up the ghost". Who would have thought that I, would wield such power, or that that was my intention. Instead of being a "real" forum, open to many ideas, it was a back-slapping out post for conservatives, repubs, and right wingers, who were not about to let some upstart black gay man voice dissent or opinion, without a fight...so, blame yourselves, before you blame me..."when in Rome, ......", I always say.

Funny thing. On an internet forum, nobody could know your race or sexual preference unless you gave up that information (since we can't see your skin color or leather chaps). Seems to me we dislike you for your condescending attitude and generally hateful patterns of speech, not your race or preferences.
