I'm sure the lines down in Fonda at Social Services will disappear soon......

Then maybe you (we) can take back our hometown. Funny thing, both Montgomery & Fulton county carried McCain. You wouldn't believe that if you lived here!

DaHoss...I hope I don't tick you off but you took the words right out of my mouth....man, we agree on something! There will always be racists but the amazing thing is that Obama carried 43% of the white vote...more than Kerry, Gore and Clinton in one election (Clinton also carried 43% in reelection)...so no Democrat got more of the white vote since Carter (47%). I'm proud of America...folks rose above racial issues...truly an historic moment...30 years from now grandchildren will ask about this election and as long as folks write history books, this will be remembered!

Could it be because America isn't racist as a whole anymore and hasn't been for quite some time? DUH!

Frankly DUH, I tire of your arrogant attempts to belittle me and my point of view. I never said that America was racist as a whole just that we still have a ways to go to eliminate racism. Same with sexism and...obviously as the results of referendums in three states show...homophobia! I mean really...a referendum banning same-sex couples from adopting...

I hope you really don't think that racism or sexism will ever be eliminated, because while I wish it was, it will never be.

"Doesn't McCain know that almost all woman hate other woman?"

Please don't take my right to vote away from me.

Scav...no, never completely eliminated but someday reduced to the point that it isn't harmful either to our culture or individuals. There will always be a few folks who know only hatred, who must feel superior to someone due to the misery of their own existance. To completely eliminate hatred would require a perfect society...the world, the universe was never meant to be perfect!

It wasn't just black, but also white, green, blue, yellow and everything else.
There are welfare types who feel that their status is now been risen because of this. I had no racial intentions by any of my post.

How do you know that?

I would have joined them if I was there, and I'd deeply resent being called a welfare type.

Well then get a phucking job.

_ed_ · #13 11-05-2008, 08:12 PM

I have one.

fpsoxfan · #14 11-05-2008, 08:13 PM

Then why the hell are you on welfare?

_ed_ · #15 11-05-2008, 08:17 PM

I'm not on welfare. In fact I'm working my ass off to pay my way through Law school.

But you put a pretty offensive label on a celebrating crowd, that I would have been a part of if I could, without having anything but the way they look to back it up.

in a way, yeah it does. but then, as i've said before-people tend to believe everyone thinks as they do, so i always feel a jolt when i see or hear something like the above...kind of like when an honest person finds they've been lied to or cheated, or when people talk trash about their spouse.

i have been on the receiving end of others narrow minded way of thinking, have been dismissed or marginalized, i cannot imagine ever being on the giving end.
