I am offended by that flower being called that. I’ve said that repeatedly.
One more time: I never called them that. It’s said here by people of all races. I’ve always thought it bad.
How many times do I need to write lines?..
“I don’t call flowers racist terms”
No shit. You keep saying things like this as if they’re interesting points, like hammering home how I insulted you in a thread in the pit where I intended to insult you.
I don’t particularly want to be mean; it’s not the ends. I want you to stop saying stupid sexist shit. If you’re hurting, you have some options:
Your move.
I never said any about Walz not being able to cook BECAUSE he’s a man. Never said it. Never.
@Left_Hand_of_Dorkness formed that thought in his own head.
Quit trying to school me.
I’m an adult.
I’m not available for class.
I’m not a racist, a bigot or sexist. To anyone.
Yeah, this continuous stupid sexist shit is absurd. If you’d come into a thread where we were admiring the auto repair work that a woman had done, and said, “She looks like the type who rides in a car but doesn’t know how to hold a wrench,” you wouldn’t have had to say that she can’t fix cars because she’s a woman. We’d all know what “type” you meant.
You don’t know, because you have the introspective capabilities of a redbug. But it’s blatantly obvious to the rest of the world.
More schooling: you get to control your actions, but not mine. Obviously you can keep telling me what I can’t do, and you’ll see (but not learn anything from) how that turns out. You’ll deal with the consequences of your choices. Your refusal to learn anything is leading to you continuing to have hurt feelings.
If you learn something, your feelings won’t hurt anymore.
Cool beans!
Sorry. That was a lame attempt
You can’t hurt me anymore. Not allowed.
This is one of those things that non-racists, non-bigots, and non-sexists don’t really find themselves saying.
Again, it absolutely is not.
Also wrong.
By who? In other threads you insist that you don’t personally know racists and aren’t around racists, so who are you hearing using that name in 2024? I don’t think even in Arkansas they are using that term on TV and radio. But if you hear people around you using that term, you know racists and you are around racists. If you don’t hear people saying it today, maybe you are the one clinging to a term decades disused?
Your opinion.
I know the truth.
Because I’ve been called every hurtful southern derogatory name there is on this board. Some in jest but mostly to cause me pain. Filthy statements have been made about my home state right here in this thread. Arkansas is not perfect but it’s my place. And you don’t get to say I’m yada-yada-yada because I live here. Or make judgements on my person because I’m southern.
Walz is a public figure of course we make judgements about him. We’re kinda supposed to.
It concerns me greatly that this name calling is allowed to go on.
It is wrong.
Cool! It concerns me that your stupid sexist bullshit goes on. It is wrong. Yet here we are.
You’re in pain. You won’t take any action to alleviate it. Your choice.
Incidentally, I’m pretty sure she’s lying about chigger as an insult. A bit of Googling is only turning it up as a portmanteau insult for folks from China. She’s just trying to eke out a little more sympathy, honesty be damned.
I’m welcome to a cite to the contrary, but it absolutely can’t be sourced from her experience, because I think she’s a liar.
Nope. Objective fact.
Maybe you’re clueless.
I don’t know bad people of any kind. I rarely talk to people outside my family.
It’s common knowledge what people call those flowers. Are we gonna keep rewinding this tape over and over?
Ridiculous.
Can you tell me who told you it was a fact?
I know a slur and hate speech when I hear it.
He meant it that way. He admitted it. Then called me a Redbug to try and punch down again.
Didn’t work.
Chigger please…
I’m wondering why you’re prolonging this misery of a thread. Makes no sense to me unless you’re getting some sort of amusement out of it, because otherwise you’re just making yourself miserable by participating in it. Move on. Let it die.
Very clearly, you do not.
Oh I’d love it to die. I think it was unimportant enough there should never be a thread with my name on it about a trivial statement in a CS thread.
Stupid right from the beginning.
And I knew it would turn into this. I knew it. And so did the ones who begat it.
They purposefully did it to hurt me.
Your defintion of “hurt me” is “disagree with or push back on anything I ever say in any way whatsoever”.
Ya know, we set that wood aside for the new mod tree fort . . . not so that you could make a cross out of it.
