I'm real big on using words according to their meaning. When people throw around the word "racist" to stifle argument, it really sucks. What sucks the most about it, is that the comparison works both ways.<BR/><BR/>If a reasonable statement = racism;<BR/><BR/>Then a racism = a reasonable statement.<BR/><BR/>Which of course, is super-duper outragous. I don't like it when people do it with 'terrorism' or 'genocide' or 'mass murder' either.<BR/><BR/>Words have meaning.brandohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11507192624540239249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21235641.post-29779238842353065482008-02-17T21:39:01.999-06:002008-02-17T21:39:01.999-06:00My parents have started protesting at city hall, all they ask of the city is to stop the gun violence in their neighborhood. Highest Murder rate last year ever and 3 dead from gun violence last month..already nearly half of what it was all last year. so I fuess another record. And I live in a tiny town! 35,000 population. <BR/>The reactions is this...the mayor rolls her eyes when they plead their case and it is not just my parents but a group of 65+ people! The get called racists because they are white and all the violence is perpetuated by blacks. And lastly the are called terrorists, because they are demanding and showing up in person and not just letting the city council pass laws about banning plastic bags because they are China's secret attack on us, I kid you not this was what one of the council memebers said.<BR/><BR/>I don't mean to take away from your point about the Marines I just wanted to extend this view outwards..to show that city hall is pretty much fucked for us all.buckethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18334938694429306856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21235641.post-17562565254079864472008-02-14T09:46:28.100-06:002008-02-14T09:46:28.100-06:00What.<BR/>The.<BR/>FUCK?!<BR/><BR/>I find it mildly amusing that a university town is full of complete idiots.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe that's sad.Ghost Doghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02664912904753873654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21235641.post-22709209097329058812008-02-14T08:04:31.130-06:002008-02-14T08:04:31.130-06:00I don't understand how that's legal.AUAnoreply@blogger.com
