They are definitely on the African continent. I just thought you might have been in the Navy since the Red Sea was east of Egypt. Hofuf itself, is a lot of sand east of Egypt. My mistake in not making the connection though.

methinks you are seeing dragons in them thar windmills....its entirely your call. unproductive, but your call.

I seem to recall, hazily, but I recall that you said this:

Also, have you ever seen an actual person from Africa? They make our "African Americans" look white.
Is the irony meter pegged? wouldnt the very definition of an 'african american' be a person of color from africa? (as opposed for example to a jamaican american, dominican american etc - highlighting at the least the stupidity of labels) Surely the irony meter is pegged by now.

but you did say this:

and was labeled as some hick from Idaho
thrice, yet the post that actually said this must have been erased...

This suggests all posts with racial overtones be banned cuz honestly, people just cannot handle them in an adult fashion.

the one thing I *did* in fact ask or say was how the OP knew they were imported for the task of working at walmart (which addresses the subject line pretty well I thought - I notice it went unanswered) which is odd in itself, i use the EXACT same handle for the last 13 or so years on hundreds of BBS around the world, never once have I made a post where I pondered the racial makeup of my walmart emplyees......

Methinks you too have your own problems with stereotypes.....After all, Idaho is 'white supremacist central', and it's hard to understand 'white guys from Arkansas'......

I didn't like too much of what Bill Clinton said, but I didn't have too much trouble understanding him......Apparently, neither did most other folks.....Did you find a language or dialect comprehension problem with Clinton when he gave his SOTU speeches?

Point taken. I will not get my info from the FBI or ADL anymore and instead rely on FTE. After all, it IS billed as the 'Internets leading resource....'

In the fall of 1995, following six months of travel, the duo settled in Sandpoint, Idaho. "We crossed the bridge into Sandpoint and said, 'Voila, this is it!'" Bertollini told a reporter from the Spokane Spokesman-Review.

Why did Story and Bertollini choose Sandpoint? "North Idaho was selected for its clean air, beautiful scenery, quiet life style, recreation, lack of crowds, low cost of living, low violent crime," they write, "but above all, more than 98 percent of North Idaho's population is of the Adamic White Aryan people."

I didn't like too much of what Bill Clinton said, but I didn't have too much trouble understanding him......Apparently, neither did most other folks.....Did you find a language or dialect comprehension problem with Clinton when he gave his SOTU speeches?
WTH? Ya, ok, Im the first person in the nation to poke fun of how someone from one area speaks compared to another....

no wait, Im wrong....the first documented evidence I ever saw was john Wayne making fun of Katherine Hepburn, and it certainly did not culminate with the honkytonk man (or do you know what 'wrought cheer' stands for? - IIRC the speaker was arkansian)
