You know all is fun and games on these forums, but I really do not think my family or loved ones should be included, am I out of line here? I find that entire post offensive and racially offensive. Plus I love her dearly. I guess this is the differnce from posting and speaking to a man face to face. I may have completely screwed up, but my wife has nothing to do with it. Totally unacceptable...OF

Damn Savant, I never saw that. That reminds me of a Navy experience. It was back when Shah was leading Iran. Lots of Iranian sailors were on my base training for the boats they were buying. Many of the American sailors gave them crap. They were cool to me, and they lifted weights, played foosball, and were actually more cool that most of the punks on base. Pretty soon, Shah was out Ayatollah was in. Now I am supposed hate all the Iranians I had befreinded. Forget that. I judge a person by his treatment of me, I do not care where he is from. Probably one of my best lessons in life. You can always be my Arabian friend, it would be my honor...Best Wishes...OF

I don't see what is racist in the term "mail order bride"

These sort of modern-day arranged marriages happen all throughtout the world, many from the lilly-white former USSR republics..........

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> I am leaning towards being in favor of the extinction of Muslims. That's the only way this will stop. They love this attention. They are the scum of the earth, but now they are finally being heard. The last thing they want is the U.S. to pull out. They want the U.S. to stay in Iraq so this can continue. This is giving them something to live for. They love this and can't give it up. The world is going to be a better place without them.

I now say, totally pull out and leave such a power vacuum that they can't resist killing each other in a civil war, house to house I'm talking about, for the next 50 years. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>


another example of AMERICANA at its best found on these forums...will not name names....

I know quite a few offshore marriages. They were all pen pal started (philipines) not mail order, but still within the ballpark. I know it is not something they freely discuss with others until they know them quite well. So in that sense I would consider it to be "inappropriate" since the intent is obviosly harmful.

See. I learn more every day. I thought it was racist, but it is just offensive. So that is acceptable. Always good to learn where the lines are...

Savant, it is our founding principal to hate some race. From the NINA days, no Irish Need Apply, then we hated each other, North/South. Then we hated the Chinese, actually had a San Francisco massacre. After that it became propagand for wars, the Spanish, then Germans, Japanese, who all got interned, even though they were American citizens. Current hate flavor of the times is Arabs. I cannot stand politics or racism. It is built on misinformation and politics. I have never had a bad experience with an Arab, well a Palestine guy burned me on a used car. I did not blame the entire race. This entire situation just depresses me...please forgive the ignorance of others. It can only make you a better person...OF

I was a very bad news punk, and it showed. One time I was playing craps during auto shop, and the teacher grabbed my dice and crushed them in the arbor. I was not happy. I told him that was destruction of private property, in front of the entire class. So he says he wants to talk to me, in private. We go behind closed doors, and he reads me the riot act, calls me a punk and proceeds to put his hands on me. Huge mistake, as I spent a lot of time with my Chinese friends sparring, extending your hands is a mistake. His mistake cost him, and I took him down out of self defense only. So I ask him, are we done? We come out of the parts closet, and walk back into class. Nobody said a word, you could tell we had went at it. I had a bad attitude, low self esteem and a mean streak too long to describe. Saw him later on in a park, he actually apologized...I had so many suspensions and truants my only out was the pen or the Navy...OF

I have not seen this much over the top Drama since Brad Pitt in the movie Seven (OH GOD!OH GOD!OH GOD! OH GOD!. Who gives a shit? Now if Pancho actually knew your wife that would be another thing. I get "your mamma" shit on this forum all the time and she passed away 3 years ago, should I be offended?

No Sir.

The forum is much better most of the time without this kind of stuff, but I am in hopes on this slow sporting day that one of you will step up and be the better man and ignore the other if necessary.

You should know about insulting, you were banging on Wil pretty good.

I know theres a problem with you if you can't get along with Wil, a guy who always takes the high road.
