I swear he specifically said he didn't get much guff for being that sweet caramel that he is.

Just gonna block Nausi from now on. The amount of sheer stupid coming at me at this point isn't even worth the fired synapses. If you can't understand context regarding symbolism, you aren't even worth children's time.
It was fun while it lasted, the stupid is no longer even worth the entertainment value. Any semblance of a point has been replaced with regurgitated dumb served over a plate of stupid.
Good luck with your GED dude.

I think we all know the natural progression of this thread...It's been almost a week now, and nobody has asked the question that's on all of our minds. Cowboy boots...Who wears them better?
EDIT: I guess it's going down...

Just because the only reason I think the topic of racism seeped into this thread is because of Ferguson. If we could take the time to observe a moment of silence for Saint Louis...

I miss the early 2000s. Did we scare off the racists?

Right so there we go! It has many many meanings, but it can ONLY mean to everyone what it means to you. No other viewpoint will be tolerated!
The alternate meanings are regarding Eastern culture which has little if no bearings in the West. Stop being daft, you damn well know how flying a swastika in the West is going to go over.
Just like the idiots who drape themselves in a Confederate flag. You either do it because you're a racist ***, ignorant of the meaning or as a symbol of rebellion against the system.
If the issue was about states rights, don't tread on me (Gadsden flag) is easily available and gets the point across without co-opting a disgusting symbol of the Souths dark past.

State's rights to decide what people are born with inalienable human rights... Yeah, sounds like it had nothing to do with slavery...

One of those rights was whether or not people could be considered property.
But you've got one thing right. The Civil War was not about slavery.

Indentured servitude was legal, it wasn't whether people could be considered property, it was whether people could be denied basic human rights. People aren't livestock.

Indentured servitude was legal, it wasn't whether people could be considered property, it was whether people could be denied basic human rights. People aren't livestock. Indentured Servitude was slavery lite, that war was about if the south had rights to own people as property and property at the time didnt (and still doent) have rights. So claiming its just about "States rights" is being willfully ignorant about the driving force of a major event in history. The South couldve industrialized the same as The North but who needs a factory with workers you have to pay when you just pay a flat price for someone who works unlimited hours and gets payed absolutely nothing to produce your main exports, take care of your mansions, cook your food, and not slit your throat at night to run for freedom. Genius.
Plus, you dont have to pay taxes to educate them and you dont have to write out orders to them cause its illegal to teach them how to read anyway. Amazing.
I mean, do i have to go on about how The North was encroaching on this wonderful thing we southerners were having?

Beware: Sheer stupidity, but actually kindof funny.

People forget that the rich white man gave a lot of the indentured servants land and "power" (aka a middle class) when they were having trouble keeping them and the slaves at bay, they basically separated them by color in order to keep power (for the most part, as if I remember correctly there were also white slaves, and black indentured servants, and that's not even getting into slavery in human history, but just NA slave trade, America, etc).
The civil war was a continuation of that maintaining the status-quo and keeping the slaves, the poor white man didn't think that, and thought they were taking away their rights, but the puppet masters (slave owners) that made that war. Turns out even though we "won" that "victory" they grabbed power again in the early 20th century and kept the poor man down (arguable that they never really lost it), took a big hit when anti-trust laws went into place, among other facts, but they keep rearing their ugly heads, and honestly plays a big part today, if one wants to draw the timeline, they're more than welcome to.
Then there's people like Prescott Bush, and well you should know that story.

I'm going to have to consider this fake, as I don't understand how somebody doesn't know to capitalize their "I's" and can spell some of those words, and we all know children don't use spell check that well.
But just for the sake of fone, let's pretend it is, and just shake our heads at the supreme level of stupidity.
Grand Jury indicts Rick Perry
Quote: (CNN) -- A grand jury has indicted Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, saying he abused his power by trying to pressure a district attorney to resign.
The two felony counts against Perry, a Republican, stem from his threat to veto funding for a statewide public integrity unit run by Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg unless she stepped down, the special prosecutor in the case, Michael McCrum, said.
Perry attorney David L. Botsford called the indictment a "political abuse of the court system." He said the action "violated the separation of powers" and "sets a dangerous precedent by allowing a grand jury to punish the exercise of a lawful and constitutional authority afforded to the Texas governor."
CNN affiliate KVUE reported that Perry will have to report to the Travis County Jail in the capital of Austin to be booked, fingerprinted and have his photo made for a mugshot.
Perry can continue to serve as governor while under indictment, KVUE reported. His attorneys could seek to have the charges thrown out, a motion that would delay the case, at the very least.
The grand jury in Travis County indicted the governor on charges of coercion of a public servant and abuse of his official capacity.
I actually didn't believe the headline when I first saw it, but its on every website, even the beloved Fox News. So this is real, its not some doomed publicity stunt *looking at you and your little lawsuit Boehner*
The failed Presidential candidate and pathetic governor of Texas is facing two felony counts of abusing power and coercion. He is going to be arrested, booked, fingerprinted, and a mugshot taken. Can't wait to see that.
Apparently he thought he could use his power to pressure an attorney to resign. I'm not surprised that he would attempt something like that due to his huge ego and lack of intellect, and living in Illinois, used to seeing governors go to jail. He is facing 99 years if convicted.
