FYI, I googled the origin of the "quote" in question and found it.
I wont post it here however but lets just say Obama was called something a lot less friendly than "black man".

Typical of you guys here that engage in the political discussions but can't manage a simple conversation about facts without introducing new unrelated items and turning it into something else before anything can actually be resolved. This was about whether or not the statement above was racist. It was. Most seem to agree. Yet, somehow, you are trying to twist this conversation into holding me responsible for something negative. Why is that?

I never responded to the Mitt/Mormon question you posed so I'm not sure where you're getting that from.

$200 for SLO, $600 for local. More than to "save a few bucks". Also at that time, i didn't really need a new tramp.. just repaired the one i had. next year ... when i finally get that new tramp... it will be with sunrise for sure

OK, can just someone delete or re-name this entire thread please?

I read about 10 posts, have no idea what the original quote was (nor care to), and am pretty unimpressed.

I have no problem with ranting and spouting and political nonsense, I simply choose not to open those threads.

However, if a potential sponsor were to come across this topic while deciding whether or not to support us, I think we know the answer.

Mike, I think the thread was a question about who would pay 10% more to put you in government housing with bad service.

Speed reading works for me!

Delete the thread, really?

So you are in the ignore racist remarks camp? Wonder how potential sponsors feel about that.

There is nothing political about this thread and Jake has already explained why, although several have tried hard to turn it into a political discussion.

Yes, delete the thread. Really. For the reasons I stated, not the ones you'd like to make up and put in my mouth for me.

This thread is a perfect example of how this place has really gone downhill since SA took off. Seems that some people post there, then come here and forget where they're posting. The insults, attacks and language were never as bad as they've been the past few years.

Taking no sides or tertiary issues into consideration, the topic itself was a good idea, and would have been an interesting discussion.

Mike

Can we delete this thread and then have this topic over?

can you get an internet "Do Over"? I thought this stuff was permanent, like those pictures of Jake hugging the trash at Spring Fever

I agree, the puctuation, and spelling have really gone to sh!t.
