> [@Meatros](#): > > Ariovistus, I just have one question so far. It’s been asked a few times (more or less) and you haven’t specifically addressed it: > > Why is it okay to judge people with the same skin color (ie, black people), but not okay to judge people who live in the same area (ie, southerners). > > \*\*It seems to me that one group, blacks, have very similar destructive behavior that prevails amongst the black community. That this behavior manifests itself pretty much no matter where they are, to me, means it is a trait for them as a people. > > Southerners, for a very long time, were one distinctive group of people: Whites of European lineage, either Methodist, Baptist or Presbyterian (with some Catholics thrown in for flavor) who were largely agrarian. The north, with their large cities and close ties to their European counterparts, viewed themselves as more cosmopolitan and sophisticated than the south, and looked down upon their rural bretheren as backwards hayseeds. > > That being said, I can laugh at some of the jokes that are told about Southerners, because they’re so TRUE! But not always. I DO go barefoot a lot of the time, yes, I DO listen to bluegrass music, yes, I DO drive a pickup truck… but I also have a History Degree, speak German around the house, have seen more of the world than most Americans have, and I make Mission/Arts & Crafts furniture… I don’t fit some stereotypes, but others dead nail me. > > Is it okay to bash or deride Southerners? Depends. I think a lot of what is said about us is true… can’t get pissed off at the truth, can you? \*\* > > You say that it’s not the ‘skin’ color, it’s based on your experience. Fine - if that’s the case, then if someone had negative experiences with southerners (all the ones they met fit the stereotypes you complained about) then by your reasoning that’s fine as well. > > Correct? Do you agree with this? > > \*\*If you feel comfortable thinking that all of us are shoeless, toothless hayseeds who marry our cousins, I have no real right to tell you different. > > If I did tell you different, would it really have any impact? I can use myself as an anomaly (for Southerners anyways), but I totally embrace living here and the people as well. I understand the corollary (sp?) you are trying to make, but I think the difference between blacks and southerners is that with blacks, it is the same behavior no matter where they are.\*\* > > If not, why not? Hope this helps some. ---

I’m an out and out Black Fontist, going back at least 21 generations or whenever the hell they came up with the printing press. As such, I believe that anyone that uses anything other than **black font** as their main mode of communication is either a post-modernist imbecile, or, as appears to be the case here a backwaters-attention-whoring twat. That said, I have no problem mixing with any other font colors as long as the end result is as close to **black** as possible. Anything else is asking for a font-fight – and they can get **ugly**. You’ve been **warned**. ETA: Find out what happened to The Grapist. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > Much as I hate to provide any sort of support for this asshole, the Army does send soldiers to parts of Africa all the time on training missions. We had them in Bamako, camped out on the lawn at the Marine House. Bunch of pussies, if you ask me, as they spent much of their time hooked up to icewater IVs. I talked with some other Special Forces types who were definitely NOT pussies, who had done training ops in the Congo, working with local army troops. The jungle is not a place for weaklings. > > **You’re right. The jungle is no place for weakliings. I spent two years in Panama. Ft. Espinar and Ft. Sherman. We ran jungle ops and waterborne ops into the bush constantly. I almost had my head taken off my some jerk with a machete. That good enough? Do I pass your ‘test’?** > > But the type of op he claims to have been on would have been as some sort of escort duty in an urban setting. > > **You’re right, it was an urban setting. We had to follow our Principal anywhere he went. We were glorified bullet catchers with cool earwigs and MP5’s… but to deride what I did - being told to go somewhere and do my JOB - is being obtuse. I didn’t ASK for the duty, it was given to me. I went where I was told to go and did my JOB and brought our Boss home safe. That’s what the gig was. If I wanted to slap bugs, dodge snakes and hunt bad guys in the jungle, I could have requested to stay in Panama… but I had had enough of that.** > I seriously doubt that it was all that secret > > **Oh? And what makes you privy to the details of our Boss’s mission in Namibia? WE didn’t even know the details of his mission… not our purview. If his own PS detail didn’t know what he was doing there, and had no right to know, what makes you so special?** > > and that he’s just plumping his resume so we’ll think he’s one of the cool guys. > > **I wasn’t SF. But I WAS a paratroop (graduated Airborne School in 1987- A Co. 1/507th PIR). And a combat vet. Which is enough for the guys who decide who goes on the PS missions… I really liked the SF guys in Panama, tho… C 3/7 took care of us and we took care of them. And 1/10 in Germany (Panzer Kaserne) let us cross-train with them on their ranges… MP5’s and long guns. I went to sniper school shortly thereafter, after being introduced to the long gun by a good friend of mine… fell in love with it.** > > He’s already been proven to be a liar > > **Oh? What lie have I told? That my folks pretty much didn’t talk about race? They didn’t. My old man shooting me a dirty look when I was young doesn’t constitute a “talk”. My grandparents didn’t raise me. I didn’t understand what was going on till many years later… now, if that constitutes a lie, then so be it.** > > by others in this thread, so we have no real reason to believe he was on any mission in Africa, or even in the armed forces. > > \*\*Really? Okay. Then I guess I was in a coma from 1987 through 2000. And getting hit with buckshot in the right hip is, of course, a complete delusion that I made up while in my coma… and being IFOR and SFOR in the Balkans was a dream brought on by all the good drugs they pumped into me via IV while in my coma, and that whole Gulf War thing must have been on the TV while I was in my coma, too… and fighting with the VA for my disability for 9 years is just made up… and the cancer that is in remission has nothing to do with the DU rounds used in the Gulf… yeah, I’m a complete and total fraud. > > I’ll tell my VA Counsellor that you said so… and give all the disability money back, turn in my fake uniform, bend my fake dogtags, throw away my fake Airborne wings, burn my fake 201 file, melt down my fake awards, all the fake coins I have too, send back all the fake citations I have, rip up my fake promotion orders… > > OH! I have to send the Schutzenschnur Award (Silver- missed Gold by one shot, but the Silver looks better on my fake uniform, so meh) back to the Bundeswehr and tell them I’m a fraud, too… the Germans will be crushed, I’m sure.\*\* > > If indeed he _was_ in the military, his actions since discharge make him a disgrace to the uniform. > > **Don’t much care what you think of me. I’ve been called worse by much better than you. What? You thought everyone thought like YOU?** It’s the snide, sneering ones like you that made the days in uniform such a trial sometimes… ---
