My Saturday Rant: Don't holla back black/white axe grinders

You da MAN, edgarbythe.

Hollering only proves that one has a loud voice. And you know what they say about "empty barrels".

I agree. I am sick and disgusted of "professional victims", who choose to blame anything and everyone but themselves for their problems. Yes, there is inequality in this world, and that is tragic. But shoving it it people's faces only serves to widen the chasm.

I apologize if my Friday rant was part of the problem and not of the solution.

I was needling Noah, perhaps needlessly.

I don't want to be construed as a racist becuse I'm not, and I think those of you who have been posting with me over the last two or three years know that.

I find Noahs posts and rants to be absolutely tiresome and ridiculous, and I don't believe anything will change his mind because he doesn't want his mind changed, so I just screw with him.

Immature on my part. Boom Boom Busted, guilty as charged.

Please accept my apology.

wellll. only if you jump up on the bar in your cutout motorcycle suit and sing Y m c A

Yes, by all means don't mention the war...

Phoenix, I believe there is balance in all things.

I do not know what you mean by shoving inequality in people's faces - or how you define the difference beyween a "professional victim" and somebody who is speaking out in an attempt to raise awareness of issues of injustice and entrenched systemic inequality.

Were the early ranters about the inequality of British rule in the soon to be United States "professional victims" or something else?

Were the freedom riders in the American South (and their counterparts in Oz) shoving the unfairness of laws about them in people'sfaces?

I can guess what you mean - particularly given the thread which clearly engendered this one - but I think your position is (or appears to be) as unbalanced as Noah's.

yeh, what she said. but bi Bear has still gotta do Y M C A

I wanna seeeeee it!

was out of pocket friday...going back to see the friday rant.

I'm pulling up a chair here. BiPolar singing YMCA is a show I'm not gonna miss.

Slide over, Farmerman.

I think I know Bi-Polar bear well enough to know where he's coming from. His thread alone didn't spark this one. Both of the rants did. I think bear was just trying to counter-balance the first one anyway. I thought a third perspective might be in order. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Noah had a few white family members and friends for all his raving.

You've been warned previously about touching my ass Gus...so....a little decorum....I realize I'm irresistable, but I'm straight....besides that squinney is a mean mean territorial woman......misbehave at your peril.....

Move on down, Gus. I wanna seat for this, too.

You've got plenty of bills on ya right Eva? Not those one dollar bills either, I'm pricey.....

Pricey is good. I've got plenty of twenties. Start dancin'.

Last time Gus was at the show he swiped his bank card in the crack of my ass and tried to take money out of my leather chaps....keep an eye on him......

dlowan- Have you ever heard the expression that "some people will find something dirty in the crotch of a tree"? It is the same thing with racism. Yes, it does exist, and it is abominable. But there are some people who will perceive harm, where there is none.

I, personally, do not respond well to people who rant, and attempt to hammer a point home. I am much more apt to listen, and give more credence to, a quiet, well thought out argument than a diatribe.

this entire thread has taken a kind of "crotchy" turn here in the last few posts Phoenix

a likely story bi. ive never heard of any non-consensual credit card ass swiping
