Doom and gloom, huh, if some of think I resemble that remark

it can be somewhat explained by this quote:

"If a path to the better there be, it begins with a full look at the worst."
-- Thomas Hardy

Curious, a search of others opinions regarding overpopulation in various message boards has revealed a couple of interesting trends (neither of which I necassarily endorse nor condemn):

There is now an organization for women who pledge to remain child-free

Leaders in the gay-lesbian movement are now predicting that heterosexuals will pass into a minority of the world within a few years.

Yeah and AIDS was going to be a heterosexual epidemic by 2000. The Oceans would be dead in 10 years....etc etc

Sorry but I keep hearing this prediction and that prediction...Lone my attitude is that the left will keep taking the ROE V tactic for pregnancys. The Conservatives will keep having kids.....

“Kind of funny how Crash was so offended by LX's use of the term wet back yet has used the word "Nigga" more than once.

if thats what you think, then maybe i didnt make my point clear enough. my comments were directed at those who took offense to treebeards use of "wetback", but would give xl a pass for the same word. besides, you should realize that the context of my use of the word "nigga" is not half as offensive as xl's use of "wetback". if i said n i g g e r, especially in a derogatory way (which i didnt), then id concede you THAT point, anyways

i worked with a mexican woman who said she didnt mind the word spic, but hated wetback.

xl, i understand you were referring to illegals only. however, the common usage is for all mexicans, or all immigrant mexicans at the least, so using it makes you sound racist.

i dont think youre a bad guy. i just thought you had a doozy of a pair of quotes recently. good entertainment value. i also think youre a really smart guy, unfortuneately, i cant trust any of your opinions to be objective, cuz everything you say is dripping with political bias.

Hyway and joy, brings to mind his 'Ode to Road Construction', one person's joy is another persons destruction.

But after work today and then a couple hours in the garden I am now enjoying a nice medley of home grown organic stir fried food, blue cheese and olive oil store bought.

but, you know what they say, the world couldn't be fed if all farming were organic

well, guess what, its inadequately fed now and can't be fed for much longer with the chemical based farming that is occurring, organic is the only way (in the long-term).

Doom and gloom, do something in your own backyard or else the governments and corporations will profit from your problems. Its up to each of us.

LOL>.Crash...I find it hilarious that WORDS can hurt so much to some people...but these same people use WORDS to strike (and when corrected demand first amendment protection). You know I can show time after time where people on the left have used slurs..that would have had a Republican THROWN OUT OF WASHINGTON...but no one calls the libs on it.
I use derrogatory terms for CRIMINALS. I have to deal with people who use this society everyday...when they get caught (regardless of their previous behavior) they DEMAND protection.
Or maybe I am like a certain 'alleged communist" instructor I had in college (a MILITARY COLLEGE BY THE WAY). HE brought every hateful term, insulting term and counter thought in history out. He decried the attack on the Soviets and did everything to challenge our beliefs....that is WHAT he was doing. As he explained on night,"I could parrot the beliefs you want to hear, but then what would you learn?"

Speaking as a person who has black relatives I can say that, no, it is not different. Go up to a black person on the street and say, “Hey nigga, what time is it?”. What reaction will you get? Wait, don’t tell me, some of your best friends are black so it’s OK, right?

Slaughtering a city full of humans on the chance that there are some terrorists among them puts YOU in contention for first place among mass-murderers.

She was mad we tore the sheetrock out, and ripped up flooring and cut the roof for ventilation.

Crash. No we are not angels I agree. But did anyone ever notice that these so called "HEROES of the movement who will brave darn near anything to obstruct honest people from their work will get all in a tizzy when a WORD is used???"

C!B! should go into any 'Low Income' Housing Project and walk up to a nice group of Black young adults and use his 'N' word that he thinks isn't offensive.

He will be very lucky not to lose his life.

i was speaking to intent more than appearance. "nigga" can have sardonically positive overtones. "wetback" really never does. but yea, as a general rule, a white should never say it to a black. blacks can say it to blacks, whites can say it to whites.

tell you guys what. ill go say "nigga" in the black projects, if xl will go to some mexican barrio and sling about his "wetback". deal?

A Bunch Of Wetbacks Take Bareback Fingerboard Mtn

C!B!, you are an #&%!$ for trying, on purpose for no other purpose but to entertain yourself in that other thread, to get treebeard and me into another fight.
I chose not to pay any attention to that at the time.
If you wish, I'll tell you where you can go again.

Treebeard never did admit that term was racist in that thread.

It appears there are several people who do not think it's a racial slur. I find that fascinating.


Forget mexican barrio, we can walk a couple blocks North of where I live, find some nice gentlemen with MS 13 tatoos and ask them. We might even find some nice gentleman with "18" tatooed on them. I bet they would love to give their opinion on the subject.
