I suspect that Clothahump took it out of his carefully cultivated collection of racist email forwards. ---

> [@DianaG](#): > > What have you done about it today other than hijack this thread? Well if nothing else I am helping people realise that its actually going on, where maybe they might have been in ignorance of it previously. Until people know about a problem they’re not going to even try to solve it. I find it just a little mysterious that so many people want to, firstly deny it exists, and then when thats no longer an option, either divert the conversation a different way, or generally sweep it under the carpet. ---

You are not helping dick, and you know it, you’re trolling and trying to divert attention away from racism in the South. You are the one who has _diverted the conversation a different way_, we here were talking about Slavery as practiced in the American South, not ancient Rome nor the current sort of odd psuedo-slavery/kidnapping that is currently going on. ---

Well, well it seems the subject of slavery in the contempary world is for some reason taboo, something that we’re not allowed to mention, let alone discuss. I wonder what the motivation is about that ? ---

You’re not doing those poor people any favors by ensuring that when the subject comes up, we associate it with how fucking annoying you are. ---

Ah !could it be an attack of conscience on your part ? If it actually annoys you into doing something to help those worse off then yourself, then I revel in my annoying posts. So why are you so disturbed when slavery is mentioned ? ---

No, it’s that you’re annoying. And I won’t be discussing the subject any further with you, because you’re either being annoying for the sake of it, or you’re too stupid to know the difference between doing something to help people, and being annoying on the internet. ---

I want to propose a math problem for older kids. 1. Unprotected heterosexual sex results in a pregnancy 5% of the time. 2. Unprotected homosexual sex results in a pregnancy 0% of the time. What kind of sex is least likely to result in pregnancy? ---

I’m not sure, but I learned from “Little Big Man” that #2 can result in a child, though it’s a little turd. ---

Have you changed recently, or have you always been such a fucking idiot? I ask because i’ve only noticed over the past few weeks that you have been particularly moronic and was curious as to whether it was something new, or whether i just hadn’t noticed previously. ---

No sorry I’ve always been moronic, but I guess I’ll just have to learn to live with it. Can’t say that I’m not a little disappointed with the fact of Slavery denial. Glad you can sleep at night. ---
