Colonel Sanders called blacks n-----s, The context in which he used the word was literally "Well he got to say this mean thing about them, why can't I say mean things too" I mean thats bad enough, regardless of whether he actually called a specific person the word. I wouldn't be surprised if the thought of "Well Colonel Sanders got to call them n-words, why can't I?" came to his mind. --- |

But nowdays it's no longer used in that context. This is the same dude that said that black people were no longer called monkey's in this day and age, was then shown recent examples of people doing just that, then running away and never returning to the topic.

| Topic | Man goughes the eyes of armed home invader. |
| Twin3Turbo 07/10/18 2:22:27 PM #97 | GiftedACIII posted... Uh you posted three posts. The last two weren't insults. There's a difference between being passive aggressive, (one of which you happen to be doing right now) and direct insults. Let me be a bit clearer, the first quote I posted was just to quote you saying that he was the first to insult so you would know what I was responding to. When I said " both of the the above could be considered insults" I was specifically referring to the bottom two quotes of my post. So to be clear, I was not referring to the first quote when I said "especially the first" I was referring specifically to the 2nd quote". Yeah that's a bit confusing and I probably should have been clearer, my mistake And how am I being passive aggressive? I'm just having a conversation here. I'm not defending the contents of his posts, just showing that you (now admittedly) were at a minimum being a bit harsh to someone who at that point hadn't insulted you, which might make the asshole comment an accurate one. You can wonder why all you want, I was just hopefully getting you to do a bit of introspection but it appears you don't really care so whatever at this point. --- |
| Topic | Man goughes the eyes of armed home invader. |
| Twin3Turbo 07/10/18 1:56:46 PM #93 | GiftedACIII posted... I mean, the last two aren't insults. They're criticizing his actions and posts. The former is already after he made insults himself and then tries to play victim about it and even then is really tame. Both of what I posted were posts by you BEFORE he called you an asshole. And I have a hard time seeing how those aren't insults. You're basically insulting his intelligence in a roundabout way. Either way they were certainly not needed and I'd think the assessment of "asshole" after those two statements would be one most would agree with. This coming form someone that knows nothing else about the two of you. --- |

Like if you ask her out and she says "maybe", then I just say something like "Oh well if you're that busy then don't even worry about it, no biggie" It's kinda crazy but just saying that has gotten them to re-respond the majority of the time with something like "Oh no I didn't mean it like that I just have to do <insert BS excuse here>, lets try <insert day here>" --- |

I'm sure this is great if you never forget anything ever. But I'm not perfect so I just prefer to own 4 rechargeable batteries and make sure that whichever 2 are not currently in the controller go in the charger.

| Topic | black people of CE: did you celebrate yesterday? |
| Twin3Turbo 07/05/18 2:58:10 PM #171 | Howl posted... Yes we can use that logic about literally anything. That's exactly why the point you and he were making is bullshit. When talking about slavery you can state "slavery" should have never been an issue, ok, that does nothing and means absolutely nothing when it's a issue that has already been corrected. We I stated "it doesn't matter whether it was 2016 or 10 years ago" I was talking specifically about the inaccurate info being put into textbooks. Here, you seem to be talking about slavery itself. weekoldhotdog posted... Wow, he really can't understand the consiquences of teaching a class by a erronious text book can lead to youths growing up with ideals and notions about slavery that never existed. As long as the books themselves are corrected, the minds of the youth are also retroactively corrected to unlearn the misinformation (such as the treatment of slaves being like "prized livestock" rather than inhuman slavery) Pretty much. On an even broader note though, shit like this is the type of stuff that disallows people to understand exactly how terrible the black American experience was from the birth of this country through the heyday of the civil rights movement and how it affects people even to this day. Because accurate descriptions of exactly how bad it was back then is either glossed over or downplayed. This is why it annoys me so much and why we should work harder to ensure that crap like this doesn't happen to begin with, not just try to sweep it under the rug as "not mattering" after we've supposedly made effort to correct the issue. --- |
| Topic | black people of CE: did you celebrate yesterday? |
| Twin3Turbo 07/05/18 2:06:13 PM #158 | Howl posted... I'm not trying to be extremely technical. He just literally stated opposite things. The premise of his first post was based upon the fact that this is a problem because they still exist all over the South today. This notion was refuted in his own post. Except you're still missing the overall larger point here. Books that inaccurately portrayed the true state of slavery existed in modern times. This goes along with the theme presented earlier of people re-writing history to suit their own agenda. Whether or not that was the text string specifically that he was quoting is irrelevant, it's a theme presented in the topic and I'm looking at the issue though full context of the topic. And it does matter that books like that should have never been created in the first place because even if they took steps to correct the issue after the fact, it says something that the books got out there with that message to begin with. I'm not about to give kudos to them for correcting mistakes that very obviously shouldn't have been made in the first place. This calls into question the motivations, integrity and intelligence of the people meant to help educate our youth. It shows that even in modern times, educators are looking to downplay or dismiss certain aspects of history. That means that the people meant to educate our youth are stupidly putting shit out there that is blatantly incorrect and even if they have corrected it the damage is already done. That curriculum has already been taught and undoubtedly there are people that might subscribe to those laughably false beliefs, and they have every reason to because they were taught from what are supposed to be believable sources. That matters. So I will say it again, whether or not there are books out there in 2018, I honestly don't know but the fact that books with that information even existed 5 years ago is very troubling and no, they should have never existed. And your dumbass point about a billion things that shouldn't have happened is irrelevant. We could use that logic about literally anything. --- |

I don't know if all the books were recalled by McGraw Hill or not but assuming that's true, he's going for the "See this isn't true in 2018, that was back in 2016!!" as if that defeats the larger point, that there shouldn't have been any books out there to begin with stating these things, especially in modern times. Doesn't really matter if it was this, year, last year, or 10 years ago. --- |

| Twin3Turbo 07/05/18 11:24:41 AM #74 | DifferentialEquation posted... I don't recall which country it is, but there's one where in the event of a divorce you have to support your ex-spouse at most for 6 months at like $2000 per month and than after that they're on their own. I wish we had something similar here. I honestly hate the idea of alimony, but I can actually agree that this is at least reasonable and makes sense in some situations and it pretty much is the conclusion I've always personally agreed to be the fairest regarding alimony. Although I would say there should maybe be a 6 month to 2 year limit, and a reasonable amount. It should really only apply if one spouse was out of work and was a stay at home spouse for a long time. Give them 6 months to two years to figure out a plan, begin to gain skills, etc. None of that "must maintain the same lifestyle" BS, or lifetime payment BS. --- |

Or maybe he didn't want to leave the mom any money, which is also reasonable. It's possible he had a conversation with his family about taking care of his kid if he were to die, or perhaps it was assumed. Either way, she doesn't deserve a thing, hopefully the family steps up and helps though. --- |

| Twin3Turbo 07/02/18 4:16:49 PM #14 | CableZL posted... The insulting words statute was first passed as part of the 1810 Anti-Dueling Act. The Anti-Dueling Act provided that All words which, from their usual construction and common acceptation, are construed as insults, and tend to violence and breach of the peace, shall be actionable. Today, over 200 years later, the language of the statute is virtually unchanged. Times have changed, but Virginia law still prohibits the utterance of words that are so insulting and offensive that the average person, upon hearing them, is likely to react with violence. Insulting-words jurisprudence has evolved over the years as a form of defamation law.
