> [@CBEscapee](#): > > You’re a real phoney. No, but you are a moron. I also see you’re a janus-faced willfully ignorant bigot. It’s perfectly fine to insult the ‘gringos’, but once someone even quotes a racist phrase against Mexicans, with the express purpose of demonstrating how it’s analagous to what you’ve been saying, you flip out. Weak. > [@CBEscapee](#): > > You chose to phrase it that way. Then report me to the mods you poor excuse for a vertebrate. I’m sure they need a good laugh right now anyways. If you’re too stupid to recognize what quote marks mean and that I was providing a racist phrase for purposes of comparison then you’re just an offenderati mouthbreather. > [@CBEscapee](#): > > You used it. Go fuck yourself you lying piece of shit. I provided an example of a racist phrase, with the point being that it was a racist phrase of parallel structure to your bigoted phrase. I’m not a liar just because you’re too dumb to grok quote marks. > [@CBEscapee](#): > > Just as much as yours does. Luckily I’ve been relying on logic and not my opinion. Swing and a miss, bigot. ---

I’m not a liar just because you’re too dumb to grok quote marks. Equating “fucking wetback lazyness” to “fucking gringo hypocrisy” is complete bullshit. Just like the other asshole who resorted to complete exagerration of my remarks to make his point. . ---

Just to head off any nitpicking, yes, I know it’s “laziness” not “lazyness” and yes, in this form they’re nouns and not adjectives. Carry on 😃 ---

My wife thinks I’m cute… kinda… as for parallel slurs… is that like infinitely aligned disparagements? I saw one of those once, along the NJ Turnpike… but then the acid wore off… sigh ---

So can I get a straight answer to my question? Are you accusing me of lying and/or being a closet bigot who used that example of a similar slur because I secretely believe it’s true? ---

> [@FinnAgain](#): > > So can I get a straight answer to my question? > > Are you accusing me of lying and/or being a closet bigot who used that example of a similar slur because I secretely believe it’s true? NO. all I was doing was correcting CBEscappe on the misuse of a favorite phrase of my childhood. Seriously. That was meant to be humor. OK? ---
