What the fuck is wrong with people today? What is with all the nooses in the news? When did the noose become a symbol of racism? I guess I blame the news media for promoting racism and fear mongering. The noose in and of its self never was a symbol of anything but hanging. Now the news has equated it to racism. I guess the next thing will be anybody that has a bloodhound will be a racist. The media should be ashamed for giving the real racists a platform.

Paul,
You are a kind and wonderful gentleman. You must not let this shit affect you the way it does. Turn off the TV, stop reading the news, and pursue things that truly interest you.
The world is mad, but it hasn't gone that way recently. It's been that way for quite some time (right around the time that Eve ate the apple).
Life is too short to allow bullshit to seep into your soul. Read a book, paint a landscape, play an instrument. Whatever it is, you must constantly wear your bullshit filter. You'll be much more content. Hell, look at me - I don't give a rat's ass about any of that crap anymore. I'm happier than I've ever been.

What makes you think we aren't talking already boys?! 
Paul remember there was a "Jena is in Syracuse" protest on the campus while I was there? Its just an excuse for people to get out of work - or for a free coke at McDonalds or to get their face on TV.
I'm not belittling racism but I never saw this whole thing as racist in the first place, it was more like bullying if anything. Just because someone doesn't like you it doesn't make it "racist" if you aren't the same colour.
People don't like me and it's not cos their sexist.. they're just sensible!!

Hmmm...Jimi and Brew....hmmm.......nope...not saying anything!! 
I skip the front page of the newspaper, read the local section to see who I know got arrested or married...or married and arrested, then the sports section just to see what excuse my Padres will have for losing in the first round next year. Then I dump it all in the recycle bin. I agree with Brew....lots-o-bad stuff happens every day, I ignore that which doesn't directly affect me. Keeps me a much calmer soul.

Well it won't be long now that those of us that are of the caucasion persuasion will be the minority. Maybe they will let us be racist then.

Everybody belongs to *some* race, maybe not identifiable, but you can't avoid it.
If you ride a bicycle, you are a bicyclist.
If you make art, you are an artist.
You belong to a race, you are a racist.
In all seriousness, we've already beat this subject to DEATH talking about racists... the one who PROMOTE race-identification, race-seperation, and racial differences. It's all well and good to do it in the name of 'eliminating racism', but we all know the intentions are exactly the opposite.

Lot's of overreacting, I think we saw an example of that in another thread. It's like yawning, thoughtless reaction is contagious. Guilty of it myself most of the time, proactivity is the path less traveled that I strive for.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

When the world has gone increasingly mad, there's only three things to do:
- Spend your time on things you truly care about.
- Keep your powder dry.
- Practice your marksmanship.
Let the rest of it roll off your back and wait for the revolution to come to you.

If there's a yankee, then by definition there has to be a yanker.

Hmmm.. you can tell those who haven't gone through childbirth can't you?! Pops out indeed
And correct me if I'm wrong my little windowlicker but isn't forcing us to support it and forbidding any parental control exactly what the governments ARE doing???

Placing a noose on a tree where black people were told to leave and didn't is the same as putting a swastika on the home of a Jewish person who was told not to move into the neighborhood. If you don't see the noose as a racist act, then re-read your history. This country was almost destroyed by traitors and racists during the Civil War (and the "States Rights" argument has as much validity as the Nazi's saying "I was just following orders.) and after that war was over, the hanging of Black people in the southern states was a common occurance and was rarely prosecuted. It has not been that long since overt racism has been outlawed; the noose incident is a reminder that ignorant people still have not learned their lesson. One day this country will have more non-white than white citizens and I hope that they will treat us better than we have treated them.

Epidsodic from 1980-94, chronic from 1994 to the present with no more than a week or so a year with somewhat of a break. Worked for the US Dept. of Defense and NATO until this year when I had to take a medical retirement because the pain became a hinderance to my work.

Does it interest you at all to post about cluster headaches on a cluster headache message board? Cuz there's not really a board entitled "stirrin' up shit for the hell of it."
