You might think that my issue is with a news station needlessly putting someone's immigration status in the headline.

Oh, wow, I didn't read that as her immigration status and just thought the headline was weirdly vague. "Woman in rural area illegally destroys property" What woman? What area? What property?

r/relationships will auto-delete your post if you don't have a tldr in it. They also delete your post for calling someone a manchild, claiming it's "sexist and ableist" (but I think we all know the real reason why).

Auto-deleting posts for saying "manchild" might be punishment just for lazy writing. It's not a discussion forum if everyone (accurately) describes the person in question with the exact same term and offers nothing else.

they explicitly state that it's because they consider it to be a sexist term so why are you bothering to imagine alternative explanations

to all the angry blacks, everyone and every race had injustices done to them.
but to keep that anger current about ones history is suicide.
even now millions of blacks have been aborted.
and with the influx of the central and south American latino who are not black.
your chances of being dominent are slimmer and slimmer.
so let your anger go and move on.

quote:

Walter Williams once said that he was GLAD that HIS ancestors sold his people into slavery, or he would have been born in Africa! Now that is an honest statement. Tell me black folk, which African country would you rather have been born in? American blacks have it WAY better than any blacks in the WORLD!

BTW, if you want to protest slavery, go over to Africa where there is still slavery and protest.


quote:

Actually, Lee and a lot of other "Southerners manumitted their slaves at the outset of the War, while Union General Officers and members of congress, kept theirs, during the War, up until the passage and ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment..

quote:

I can remember a black female "actress" we encountered at Williamsburg five plus years ago that had a real attitude and was extremely disrespectful and rude to the tourists. Tourists don't deserve that.

Unfortunately many Blacks just don't "get it". My 4th great grandfather a Quaker who served in the Revolutionary Wary militia signed the 1783 Quaker Petition to Abolish Slavery. Subsequent generations and their relatives were active abolitionists in Ohio including attacking slave owners traveling with their slaves to free the slaves and assisting runaways on the Underground Railroad . My 2nd great grandfather died 150 years ago while a Union army volunteer in the War to Free the Slaves.

Sorry, but 150 years and 4-5 generations later the Black hatred victim hood attitude looks absolutely ridiculous. If you don't want the gig, don't do it after all its a free country! Personally despite our experience , I applaud Williamsburg for trying to bring at least some realism to its presentation of southern colonial life"

Only for mediocre actors a fictional role is a challenge. They probably never hear of Stanislavski anyway.


And some good old fashioned lunacy

quote:

The anglo settlers of Waal Straat Virginia Company sponsored British Penal Colony Jamestown were indentued servants (a.k.a. white slaves for their prison term) escaping London public hangings for a chance to serve their sentences in the American wilderness. An anglo actor should play impeached Vice President Andrew Johnson who was a fugitive indendtured servant still commital to his corporate America debt slavery term.

I am totally heartbroken. My grand daughter was born yesterday. I was sent a pic and asked if I could come see her. I work in the same hospital where she was born. 4 Hours later while I am already at home, he text me the room number. I get into work, do a few things and head down. She is gorgeous and tiny and pic laying in the bassinet. I head right over and pick her up. My son kinda hesitated like he wasn’t going to let me, but tough poo poo I was going to hold her. Stayed about 30 minutes. My dil wouldn’t even look at me. I leave so she can nurse and head back a couple of hours later to see them before they leave. I am not allowed in the room. she is nursing grace. Ok, so my son and I go out in the hallway and make small talk. I say I would like to start picking up my other grandson from school a day a week like I used to do………..his response…..not sure about that any more..WHAT, ARE YOU KIDDING ME. I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO SEE MY GRAND SON AND GRAND DAUGHTER!!! I AM BROKEN, HEART IS ACHING. I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG. To stand there in the hallway and see that condescending look on his face just did me in. I just walked away, back to my office, closed the door and cried.

Left work and got home and I hate to say it took every pic of my grandson, my son and daughter in law and threw them in the room I specifically decorated for my grand babies, that they have never used. I just cant do this anymore, I cant. I know why my mom didn’t call to talk about the baby….because she knew, she knew what he was going to do..

I hope they keep the kids away from her. I'm dizzy just reading this, and I'm an adult.

From the forums of BoardGameGeek, the hobby website that draws competively obsessive collectionists like moths to a flame:



TM = Terraforming Mars, a game about (you guessed it) terraforming Mars
Legacy = a genre of board game that involves permanent changes that affect future games (stickers on the board, tearing up cards, etc)

So what this guy is saying is that he is compelled to buy all expansions for a game, therefore if one is ever released that he doesn't like he will sell his copy of the base game and :sever: with the game designer to boot.

I find this one particularly funny.

I live in the Midwest, so pretty much every dating profile is some angry gross conservative. Meanwhile the liberal ones get grabbed up immediately like the treasure they are here.

Makes sense though for conservative dudes to go for women who don't value their agency as a human being.
