Wish they would contract all the dead beat welfare recipents first..Empasizing on the DEAD BEATS, I realize some people need the help, but there is far too many of these lazy fakers on the take.

You can go a few more miles east of there.

That isn't the African continent, but I guess it might be close enough.

Now back to hofuf's thread.

So do you think I've stayed within sight of here my whole life, or that I'm some sort of ignorant hick because of my location? You sound like the one with their head up their *** now, and need to get rid of your own superiority before you go on with your judgment.
I've actually lived in other locations my whole life, I have only been a hick from Idaho for three months now. I built the boats the Navy sails on, and have met many, many different people. I have lived all across this country, and have dealt with those refugees myself. If you take the time to figure out that not all people of the same color look alike, you can see a lot of differences.

Now back to hofuf's thread.
Don't make me get out the jack and coke. I've "been" to countries on the African continent (ie, Egypt, Gabon, etc) and I've "lived" east of there (ie Saudi Arabia). Google Hofuf.

AS someone who got into an argument here,with the original poster,for whatever that matters,is it quite possible that many of us here read a little more into these posts than we needed to,or interpreted things in an inaccurate manner?
Did we possibly see something that we thought was intended as racist,when it wasnt? were both questions,and there resulting answers,overly analyzed as meaning something between the written lines?
Given the chance to re do,might we consider a slight change of wording,and thus avoid the rather nasty tone of the debate.......
Im probably as guilty as anyone here of misinterpreting intent in some of these posts.

It's certainly very hard to see someone's facial expression and mannerisms from an internet message board.

It is rather difficult,and its also easy to misinterpret someones message,and when several people each misinterpet what the last guy said or meant,next thing you know,its a heated argument!

I gave the first clear answer, and was labeled as some hick from Idaho. Any reason we haven't seen anything other than a bunch of accusations?

no sir, I was pointing out that ID is white supremecist central and they have a 'they all look alike' message pretty much in lock step.... so the circumstance does have a humorous side to it....

Ah, I see. I'm only supposed to be an ignorant hick. Maybe I should move "closer to our nations capitol" to give the impression of racial tolerance?
