Your momma so fat, she crosses that line by bending space-time itself.
BTW, I now picture you as some cheap Tony Soprano knockoff: “Eh! Oh!”
Well, given that he is presumably employed at the behest of the members, I’m not sure what exactly he could have done to overrule them.
Yo momma so dumb, she congratulated you on your law degree!
Wait, you’re a lawyer, right? I mean, I seem to remember you mentioning the fact once or twice here.
Indeed. All 11-year-olds should “crack open a Webster’s” and learn the secondary, nuanced meanings of words whose more common meanings are used in reference to skin color, and stop being such stupid little pussies.
Then they should have mixed them a few martinis so they would blend right in.
The board of directors of this pool may well have contracted to let the camp group in at a certain time for a certain price but I bet they didn’t get approval from every single person member of the pool. I can only imagine the outrage at my pool if 65 kids showed up one afternoon when all the (member) moms are there with their precious darlings. I’ve seen some bitter disputes at Saturday morning swim meets, which are well advertised, when a parent shows up with junior only to be turned away. The politics of a private pool are not pretty.
Here is the DC area, spring time bring bus loads of kids from across the nation for week long visits. Those groups contract with the local public rec center pools to give the kids some pool time, for something to do. The reaction of some people to a couple of busses disgorging kids into “their” pool is often not pretty and it’s not really race - it’s about people not liking kids, or at least not strange kids, in large numbers. I have heard some nasty comments from people. Most of the time the kids are white, mid-west types so I haven’t heard anything too racial but I wouldn’t be surprised if some douche-bags went there. Of course, the pool in question may well have douche-bags that just happen to be racists too.
Did you miss the “notwithstanding any racism” sentence that she herself penned at the beginning of my quotation.
She is blatantly saying this:
Ok, so maybe it’s not racism (step 1)
But they’re beeing greedy anyways (step 2 [the step that i was commenting on])
So you can go take your sanctimony and jump off the deep end of a pool with it.
No, but the parents should not knee-jerkingly parrot their child’s possibly misconstrued notion of the word.
I searched for “Notwithstanding any racism” and found nothing. Where is this part of the quotation?
I mean was that so hard?
Snark aside, no, but it did come across like you were saying that the woman quoted (whose son was upset) was the one saying that.
No. But it does not include the words “notwithstanding,” “any,” or “racism.” You know, those words that you placed in quotation marks? As if you were quoting them?
Also, the phrases you highlighted do not mean “notwithstanding any racism.”
Other than that, you’re spot on.
What are you even talking about? I’m simply pointing out that I perceive your statement that insulting family “crosses a BIG line” as ridiculous. My qualifications or lack thereof have no bearing upon your hypersensitivity about your wife’s infidelities with objectivists.
Quotation marks aren’t necessarily used to quote someone.
And, yes they do
notwithstanding any racism = in spite of any racism = in disregard of any racism
Quotation marks are, however, often used to quote someone when you are quoting someone. Which you were.
that quotation mark usage was making reference to the entire sentence, in effect ascribing a shorthand name to it. most people can pick up on that usage. (edit: especially when i mentioned exactly what i was referring to when i said “at the beginning of my quotation”)
Good god.
Quotation marks are also used for other “things” for example.
heh heh. he said “things” 
Yo dawg I herd u liek quotin ppl so I put some quotes in ur quotes so you can cite ppl while you quote them!
I was commenting on this:
I’m not sure what to make of the end of the column you linked to. I don’t think it is very clear, certainly not clear enough to get upset about.
However the sentiment that it is awful that some business owners are forced to let those people into their private businesses is one I used to hear quite a bit - in the early 1960s.
