No one ever died of being "fed up" Hobbes, you take everything too seriously.

As far as misconstruing just about every thing I've said in the last two weeks, you are the expert.
That bug has crawled so far up your arse it's eating away at your brain.
I can only assume that you change in temperament is due to something that has nothing to do with this Forum.

It's easy for you to say, being white, middle classed and middle aged. Empathy for you is a choice; a choice you prefer to exchange for derision which is your default setting.
I think it's also worth mentioning that your perception of my 'taking things too seriously' is probably more a reflection on your guilt and lack of interest in the world around you , and less about me at all.

Empathy for you is a choice;

Right. It's not possible to be empathetic without being a PC fucktard (and they don't have empathy anyway. They are too busy being PC).
And of course. ALL white men are 'middle-class' and privileged. The scum of the earth, in fact.

I think you'd do better to respond to posts that are directed to you.

Yes, I am guilty of being white. As far as being middle class, I'm as middle class as Compo from Last of the Summer Wine. I get jibes about my age every day, I don't like it but what the fuck.

You have no idea how I conduct myself in my every day life.

If being interested in the world around me would make me as angry as you seem to be all the time, I'll stick with being disinterested.

So I'm talking out of my arse? I was going to mention a 'manifesto' but I thought that would be going too far and be more hyperbole than anyone on here could handle. Well.....

Shame they don't have the character or intelligence to follow their own doctrine (although intelligent, rational people don't want, or need (does anyone?) a doctrine).

But that's ageism. Ageing is something a person can't help. You must report those people immediately to your local Progressive branch. They will sort those vile ageists out in no time flat.

No need, VT, they are all heading towards where I am now, they'll get their punishment when they arrive.

If they have children with whites, what do you call those kids, ad infinitem

I tend to call them all people, and treat them as such.

The people I really hate is the ones with small feet - that race of people are the worst. Yuk - with their little shoes. They make you sick - why can't they stuff proper sized shoes with cotton wool and wear them like real people?

.....Short People
By Randy Newman


Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live

They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Round here

Short people are just the same
As you and I
(A fool such as I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's a wonderful world)

Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
'Round here

Randy got dogged for this tune, but as you can see in the middle, it's pretty clear what he means.

Do you have any thoughts on this?

Actually neither color truly represents any race, I'm supposedly white, but it's kind of a pukishly peachy pink. In a box of crayola's it used to be called flesh. I think the political correctness movement changed that, not sure.

Still PE, it's a funny question! But it would seem to me that we're all Africans! So I guess that makes us all African color, as ranged as it is.

With porn, you can look at a guy's penis and wonder if he's black, white or something else (I'm white so my preference is white). A factor is the lighting used in the video that can confuse along with the angle (btw I prefer women of the dark persuasion).
