you'll have to ask indy and GrumpyGOP

they are the experts on bigotry having practiced it for many years.

i'm just saying that there's an extreme wing of intolerance towards both. Religion really isn't worth fighting over, but it's sad to see otherwise intelligent beings seeing the world through religious blinders.

7/14/2010 2:27:21 PM

Hahaha, I'm one of the most pro-Israel people on this board but apparently I'm also a raging anti-semite.

Or maybe I'm being accused of being bigoted towards some other group drawn randomly from a hat. I hope its the Dutch.

^ Never thought I'd hear a pot-smoking hippie like yourself complain about the Dutch.

Pass the Dutchie.

Man, I haven't so much as seen pot in ages. All the jobs I want are particular on the subject -- if you've done it within a year don't bother applying. And some of those jobs have applications processes with things like lie detectors. It's all dreadfully unfortunate but none of the jobs seem to have any issues with problem drinking, so there's always that.

And hippies have always, repeat always pissed me off.

I didn't label you anything. Grumpy suggested it, and you replied "perhaps".

I guess I'm thankful you are terrible at classifying people.

Nah, you piss me off too, but having been one of maybe five non-hippies at my poor infested high school I was forced to learn to get along with people who pissed me off. This is why I'm constantly seething with rage but not always yelling at people.

Admit it. You're just no good at hacky-sack, so you lash out against hippies.

7/14/2010 5:12:43 PM

Haha, I'm sure I'd be bad at it, but I'm also bad at every physical sport or game so I don't think it's that.

You've gotta understand, my high school was overrun with some of the most incredibly earnest hippies, wannabe social activists, Quakers, potheads, and virulently anti-conservative people ever, people around who you had to walk on eggshells if you didn't want to start a protest against you.

I only mention the Quakers because they fit into all those other categories but it was really hard to get one of them mad enough to try to hit you.

virulent is GrumpyGOP's word of the day

7/14/2010 7:37:25 PM

Have I said it twice? Three times? You use the words "anti" and "semite" nearly three hundred times a day.

7/14/2010 7:40:23 PM

then stop posting antisemitic sentiments.

I am going to set up a blind trial where Solinari posts under one alias and a baboon just slaps his ass against a keyboard under another alias, and then we see which new poster is more respected.

I don't give a shit if anyone respects me. In fact, I'm not surprised that people would get pissed at me for calling them out.

Bringing this thread back on topic, the administration is trying to lie about what really happened:

Quote :

"When asked by reporters if Gen. Bolden “misspoke,” Gibbs said: “I think so.” I don’t think so. Gen. Bolden’s reputation, as a career military officer, as a fearless astronaut, argues for taking his word over an increasingly embattled administration’s chief of spin control. I don’t agree with Gen. Bolden’s orders. I don’t think NASA should be performing a “feel good about themselves” mission to Muslims on our dime. And I don’t think Mr. Obama can radically change NASA’s mission without going to Congress first. But I do not doubt that Gen. Bolden was truthfully reporting what he had been ordered to do. Like the seasoned professional he is, Gen. Bolden saluted smartly and set about executing his orders from his civilian chief."

"(Reuters) - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Friday that Iran would send its first manned shuttle into space by 2019, Iran's English-language Press TV reported. In February Iran test-fired its domestically made satellite carrying rocket Kavoshgar-3 (Explorer-3) and Ahmadinejad said Tehran hoped to send astronauts into space soon. "In response to the enemy's resolutions, it was decided that the project be pushed forward by five years," Ahmadinejad said on Friday, referring to Iran's shuttle program. Western countries suspect Iran is trying to build nuclear bombs and are concerned that the long-range ballistic technology used to put satellites into orbit can also be used to launch warheads. Iran, the world's fifth-largest oil exporter, has always insisted its nuclear program is for generating electricity. The U.N. Security Council imposed a fourth round of sanctions on Iran in June over its disputed nuclear program. Tehran has said Kavoshgar-3 will transmit electronic data and live footage back to earth. In 2009, Iran launched a domestically made satellite and put it into orbit for the first time. It has said the Omid satellite was launched for peaceful telecommunications and research purposes."
