Checking green cards here.:03:

LOL, Jim. Apparently our young master Cybermat is pulling things out of his wazoo and accusing me of things I did not say. Ah well, he's a young man.:yep: Hopefully the wind will keep blowing out the matches and prevent a flame war.

Nah, they'd probably just end up in Indonesia, or Tony Abbot would put them on leaking boats and send them to Afghanistan :doh:

It hasn't been nice knowing you.


I don't see any reason to report Wolferz, his comments were acceptable.

But you did. So let me address this here: discussing cultures, races, ethnicity, etc and not being politically correct does not equal racism. Racism is a lazy rebuttal. If someone goes racist, it will be very evident. Saying Mexicans live in a dysfunctional society is like saying Russians drink too much or Americans have inner-city crime problems. It's a generalization that may or may not be accurate, but it isn't racism.

I find the above picture to be highly offensive.




The apostrophe represents the omitted letter, and should go at the begining of the word: 'Merica. :O:

Of course, it's also possible that Deputy Curly Howard has a thing for tanks....think tanks.

Ok.

Wolferz, I'm sorry. I guess I just overreacted. A lot of crap's been happening in real life for me, but that's no excuse, seeing as it wasn't your fault. I guess that some of your comments just rubbed me the wrong way. As long as your 'hatred' for Mexicans is just a sign of my growing insanity (and you defending yourself against people infringing on your 2nd amendment rights does make sense), I think we'll get along just fine.

Live long, and prosper.

Think about it though, isn't Mexico some sort of American fantasy island?

I mean, the government has absolutely no control over the vast majority of the country, and whoever has the biggest gun wins. :hmmm:

Makes sense, given that Ricardo Montalblan was of Mexican birth.

Ah, Dread Knot, my old friend, do you know the ancient Klingon proverb that tells us that revenge is a dish that is best served cold?

It is very cold... in space.

I don't know what that has to do with anything, but I can't even eat one egg, so don't be so hard on yourself :)
