Your 84 yo neighbor can kill kittens while wearing a tutu and pissing ponies. The fact that you are stuck on this is comical and also cliche`::::

When discussing race, it's important to NOT discuss race. If we can hide race under stupid things like elderly people who hold hands with the help while blowing bubbles in the bath tub--all while calling the help a Colored Negro, that means this is a racially progressive society. Chuckle.

Just because you're involved in an interracial relationship DOES NOT mean you're absolved of any racism. This probably does belong in the D&R Random thread, but just because you're dating, married to, or just hittin' up someone of another race doesn't mean you can't be racist towards other members of your partner's race, any other races, or even your own.

This makes NO sense as we wouldn't have known that he had two caregivers or if they were polka dot. YOU presented it into evidence. I think I agree with you when you say that your neighbor isn't the one with the problem. It appears to me, at least from reading your posts in this thread, that you are the one with issues. And for that I pity you.

For A) Given that you've had to go back to previous posts in this thread and edit them to make it more clear that you were kidding, maybe you should try harder to explain that and maybe you shouldn't indicate about a lack of morals of a man you've never met.

B) Because it was something that I wanted information on. Just because I want information on it doesn't mean that other things aren't more important than it. And given the earlier contributers to the thread didn't see any problem with it, I'm going with their opinion.

Uh, no. That's not why I did that. You don't want me perceivingly assuming things of your neighbor so don't assume things of my posting practices. Mmmmkay?

More importantly, this...isn't...the point. Goodness gracious.

What are you talking about? Clearly, you don't understand my posts enough to respond to them.

Makes more sense than most of the other responses.

If you agree with that sarcastic statement then you are (searching for the nicest way to say this) a shame.

I believe the "I kid, I kid" was added, the first time I saw the post, I only saw the smiley.

You asked why I brought it up if I didn't think it was as important as topic A. If people only brought up on Greekchat the thing that was most important to them. It would be a *much* quieter list.

You are in the minority of the responses on the issue. I'm going with the majority opinion here.

You were the one who made it. If you don't think it represents Zen, read more on the concept.

You like to debate the obvious. I'm talking about your assumptions of the intent.

Again, what are you talking about? What is my response on the issue that makes me a minority opinion?
