grumpyauntjeanne.. you really need to take a class in interpretation because you fail so badly in MOST of what I say. But that's your problem and not mine and I'm not about to make it mine. You keep fighting that civil war and see where it gets you. I don't stick my nose in everyone else's business nor do I fight their fight. I am for the gay community having equal rights, I am for single/working women being able to properly provide for their families as well as men. But I won't fight a fight based on someone like you who wants everyone else to hate the plantation days because in your mind it's means they look down on blacks. If my neighbor down the road wants to grow and smoke pot... why should I stick my nose in his business and start a riot over it? If my married friend wants to date other men why should I stick my nose in it? If I see a man/women abusing a child you better believe I will stick my nose in it! If I see anyone abusing an animal you can count on me putting a stop to it. However, for people like you who get so obsessed over what you think another person means by what that other person likes or dislike is just too simple minded for me to waste anymore time on.
Sigh. I wouldn't expect you to fight a fight against anything that doesn't directly affect you. As I explained, we differ in that way. What does pot smoking have to do with bigotry? Whose rights does that deny, whose oppression does that glorify? What does adultery have to do with bigotry? Ha, I'm glad you wouldn't stick your nose in it ..... but so what. You are the one who says live and let live when it comes to bigotry. You are the one who thinks the n word should be ignored and glorifying bigotry should be ignored. You're the one who thinks words can't hurt anyone, apparently even little black kids who hear racist shit every day. If it doesn't affect you, you don't care unless maybe when it's physical abuse. Some of us care about all abuse. Verbal, bigotry, emotional, and physical etc. I'm not the simple minded or shallow one here. Words represent a lot. The choice of words can show attitude. Simple minded is ignoring that fact. You also do not answer questions. Hard to have a discussion that way. Someone tries to get clarificaton and you ignore it and bitch about them not understanding. Pretty funny, Dee. I'm the simple minded one here? Ha.
