Thread: McCain Booed During MLK Speech

With your powers combined, IM is officially 20% lamer and more depressing.

Do you realize the irony of your posts? Probably not, maybe I can help. You insult someone, then say that all they do is say negative things in the next sentence. You are what people call a hypocrite.

I doubt you've read every single one of my 1000+ posts, so please, don't try to act like you have when you tell me I've never offered any advice or suggestions. I certainly wouldn't try to create the illusion that I know all of your posts.

edit: I just realized I helped you to realize the irony of your posts, that is advice. So now you have witnessed me giving advice. Enjoy.

Right, but you, Clemson, and Danny81 are the only people that get on my nerves. There is no hope for Clemson and Danny. They have been made fun of relentlessly for a long time, and haven't changed a bit.

You are a smart guy. Really smart. I figure you would realize that most of us want to talk training learn some stuff about training , give and receive support from our peers to keep us motivated to archive goals, and have a few laughs.

This is a community. Most of us have been here a long time and are a tight knit group. For years, we laughed, made fun of each other, ripped on each other, posted funny clips, and funny pictures. I use to love to get up in the morning and browse IM for a minute while I drank my coffee.

And people like you are destroying it. This as become boring and depressing, and it is pissing me off. You are destroying something that I loved. Every fucking thread is Obama, Hillery, conservative, liberal, bush, ect ect ect. ITS FOX FUCKING NEWS NOW.


I get very little joy out of coming here now. Ah fuck it! I don't care. Turn Open chat into a political blog. I don't think I'll be back.

What if I tickled you.... would you come back then?

No one is forcing you to read those particular threads, or posts in those threads. For example, I ignore and don't respond to anything kbm### has to say. I don't start many threads, and of the handful (less than 20, I would guess) that I have started, probably less than 60% were politics-related.

If you have such a problem with it, exercise some self-control and don't open the thread, don't get angry with others for having a discussion on a topic you don't want to read, that's absurd.

Damn straight, and well said Kelju. Politics threads are the most prolific threads on open chat. Mostly due to a very vocal select few endlessly debating the same subjects over and over.

A lot of fun has gone from open chat, people complain about the "banned-members" but they were a lot more entertaining than endless politics.

Jesus Christ dude, you have some severe psychological problems. But I like you. You make me look sane in comparison.

KelJu,

You are a terrible poster.

You have poor critical thinking skills.

You are one of the worst debaters on this board.

The only thing cooler than a popularity contest is an popularity contest of anonymous internet handles.

We think the same.

I also really don't think baseball should have retired Jackie Robinsons number...great man, great player but if they don't to the same with Babe Ruth than it's just not right.

I respect McCain for admitting he made a mistake, or at least what he believed to be a mistake. I don't consider it a mistake.
MLK was a great man and a great black leader. He believed in education, love, self responsibility. He had said many times that he could not hate white people for how blacks were treated, because he would be contradicting himself. He knew that he would probably be assassinated but went on fighting for his people. He was a man of virtue and integrity.

But, he is not the only man in US History to have these qualities. Many men have lived just as incredible lives as he did. They don't get their own day, so I don't really give a shit if MLK gets his own day or not.

People could better honor MLK's memory by following his example, and not taking a day off. If the black community lived by his example, race relations would be farther than they are today. The black community needs another black leader like MLK instead of the pieces of shit like Jackson, and Sharpton.



Thats not exact, but the idea is the same.

I like hearing them, it makes for great conversation.
It's always nice to hear what the other side has to say.

I used to think they were the same people.

Is this reverse psychology?

It would make me happy.

The MLK holiday is a positive thing. It celebrates someone who died for a positive change; he was a martyr. Also, you get the day off work, so I think if you're against it, you should work that day to protest it.

What I was talking about was the wire tapping of King authorized by Robert Kennedy. King had known ties to the communist party, that is a fact. The extent of which is largely unknown, because the files are sealed. It is also a known fact that he had extramarital affairs. Again, the extent and nature are largely unknown, many people believe white prostitutes were involved. Whether that is a truthful leak of information or just rumor will be made clear when the files are unsealed.

On top of that, a 1991 study revealed extensive plagiarism in many of his speeches and academic works. So he is already a known communist supporter, academic cheater, and marital cheater. Based on these three character indicia alone, one could form the opinion that the additional unknown facts may be largely negative.

I can just imagine where that "study" came from. . .

Do you remember who was the director of the FBI back then?

Of course you don't. . .you hate the idea of truth trumping truthiness.

Drag queen.

Add Clarence Thomas to your list.

Not made by me.

The 90s saw the vilification of white historical figures and the sanctification of black historical figures. Just another example of racial equality.

Really, now. And what was it like before the 90's?

The 70s and the 80s saw the rise of non-Anglo historical figures, but not so much with the "only non-whites were really good people" mentality.

Holy mother of god, this is prolly your best post ever. Not that I agree, but cuz its curt.

How, exactly, do non-white historical figures "rise" into our history if they've been doing things all along?

More of them were included in history books and in other media.

meh...No one in AZ gets MLK day off. The schools have a "diversity" day instead.

I guess there are no answers..
