Ok come on zk. Lighten up…No rich or poor or middle class or whatever people got hurt last night…
And sorry, where in my joke did I mention anything about Watts and race?
Why do people like to turn every ribbing of a joke about something they don’t like to hear into race?
Last time I checked being “lazy” was a race and gender neutral thing.
Where does something unrelated race get dragged into a race issue? Or are you starting to generalize about people of certain races?????
Are people starting to ban jokes as well as guns now?
Generalize much?[/quote]
I only mentioned race because my hypothetical wouldn’t really work with an Asian kid in Watts with Hispanic parents. As I said, race doesn’t have anything to do with it. You must have missed that part.
Even though I said race doesn’t have anything to do with it, in so many words, you accused me of turning your joke into a race issue several times. You’re a real pain in the ass. And your reading skills are seriously lacking. You and AN, who also “misses” important parts of my posts and responds with lame non sequiturs and nonsense. Maybe it’s an Asian thing. Just kidding. Sort of. Maybe.
Flu, you’re a conservative. Unless I miss my mark, you view the liberal philosophy as “tax the hard-working well-off and give to the lazy poor.” And, again unless I miss my mark, you’re philosophy would be to do less of both. You certainly do a lot of bitching and moaning about liberals. But if you don’t have any better ideas or you can’t defend the ones you have, then why don’t you just keep your whiny cynicism to yourself?[/quote]
Exercising my constitutional right to express my opinion and free speech. That’s still allowed, right?
I got a better idea. If you don’t like what people say, you can hit the ignore button. Which is fine by me.
Since when am I “whining?” here (besides the affordability part in CarmelV)…
Actually, it’s pretty funny that you throw the “conservative” label around. Since people who know me probably can tell you I’m as socially open minded more than you think. Of course, I do believe in a sense of personal responsibility when it comes to finances. Which i think is what this real estate blog was all about…Maybe you forgot about that portion, because maybe you haven’t been along long enough.
Financial stupidity isn’t a conservative versus liberal thing. Unless you want to equate financial stupidity to being liberal..
See, you know what your problem is? You don’t mind dishing it out to people who differ opinions or jab at things, but oh no, when someone says something that rubs you the wrong way, you need to put yourself on a high and mighty soap box and give people a lecture and you immediately attach the conservative label to anything that goes against the grain of your thinking. Pretty open minded there… Pretty entertaining…
Also, pretty open minded there that you keep bringing race into this.
And what do you mean “It wouldn’t work with Asian kid in Watts with Hispanic parents” as you say?
Are you,again generalizing that every single asian is born into a well educated, high income/ upper middle class. And are you also suggesting that no asians are poor, no asians are lazy, and hence no asians would “fit”?
