Gotta love "labels" for saying anything.

[HEMI6point1]

We live in a society where we can be accused of anything for anything we say, do or would love to do if we fall into a financial windfall. Cases in point....

1. I refuse to move into a studio apartment because most studios are
shoddily built, too tiny and most are located in shitty areas. Apparently, that is racist even though I never mentioned race.

2. Let's say I play the lotto numbers off a favorite model's - ahem - vital stats and actually win off those numbers. Said model finds out and wants me to throw her a bone 'cause after all if not for her I wouldn't have won. I would do so if she agrees to go out on a date with me. If she's taken, a private photo shoot. According to someone, that's sexual harassment.

3. I refuse to root for the football team down here (Dolphins). I am a Giants fan and always will be. But some see me as a traitor to Florida and "I should like the Dolphins by proxy."

4. I'm a self-hater because I refuse to keep kosher (I would have to give up my chicken parm and cheesesteaks - not happenin'.).

5. I told someone casually that if I hit the lottery one of the things I would love to try is be a glamour photographer (in other words, take pics of topless/naked models) and start a membership glamour paysite. I don't like porn, all pictures and video would be classy Playboy/Onlytease style. Yet apparently to someone: "You're a pervert who wants to sell porn pictures of naked women to horny desperate guys." Um, Playboy and Onlytease isn't porn (by that standard Maxim and FHM would be too). Secondly, do you know much money the owners of glamour paysites bring in? Let's just say they're not hurting for cash.

6. Another dream if I get rich is to drag race cars. Not something uber-expensive like a dragster, but maybe something like a Super Stock car (like a modified Chevelle or something). Yet apparently even though it's been a dream of mine I'm stupid and I'll piss all my money away.

If it's only Dolphins fans doing it, say you'll root for Tampa if they are on since Tampa Bay is in Florida.

Nothing wrong with pissing all your money away on sweet cars.

I've never understood why guys who like to see naked women of legal age are considered perverts.

Things like #1 are ridiculous. I've heard some say that not liking rap music is considered racist. Bullshit, I like motown and soul, but cannot stand rap and hip hop. Even if I didn't like motown or soul either, to say I'm racist for having my own tastes is putting words in my mouth. No one should have to like anything just to not be called a racist.

I hear ya. Even though I root for Dem Stillers and Da Penz, I refuse to cheer on the fucking Pirates. Why? They suck But, what pisses me off, is that some local idiots insist that I'm not a "true" fan, simply because I don't memorize all the stats. Sorry, but fuck that shit. I have better things to do than commit a bunch of numbers to memory.

Depending on the circumstances, #2 could be construed as sexual harrassment.

I love the racist argument.
I wouldn't vote for Obama because I did not like his policies or his track record. That made me a racist. I knew people who the only reason they would/could give for voting for Obama was that he was black and they wanted him to be the first black president.


I love how the reason to vote was not at all "racist"

I hate it when people write into what isn't there, I'll like what I damn well like. And as someone who plans on pissing as much money away on automatic weapons and sweet tactical gear I don't see why blowing money on a car would be any different. Life is for living, money is for spending. If you aren't having fun, what's the point of living?

Yeah i used to save all my money but i have been parting with it more frequently, im 23 with about as much cash in the bank as my friends have credit card debt, sure it going to haunt them but they have had fun, and i think i need to spend more, not crazy into debt but i don't really need more than $10K


and um looking at a tactical shotgun in paper kept me out of path of a tornado yesterday

I've heard some say that not liking rap music is considered racist. Bullshit, I like motown and soul, but cannot stand rap and hip hop.

Ages ago, I saw this same discussion and resulting accusations on another message board. The person who was accused of being racist for not liking rap "music" pointed out, quite rightly, that a lot of the old-time rockers of the 60's were black, and that the modern day rappers ripped off all kinds of actual musicians, including the 60's rockers.

I'm not sure what the rebuttal was, probably something along the lines of "fuck you!" You know, the cry of the person who has lost the argument.

you would ABSOLUTELY hate living in the (smallish) town where I live. GOD help you

1. if you DO NOT like FOOTBALL
2. if you DO NOT root EXCLUSIVELY for the local (and I mean LOCAL) NFL team (think small market with worldwide recognition and BIG myths and legends surrounding the mythical happenings surrounding this team remember the Ice Bowl from years ago)
3. if you DO NOT own at least one piece of team apperal.
a. if you REFUSE to wear said team aparell on game days esp at WORK
4. if you were NOT PISSED off when a certain quarterback left the team in a huff because said QB was a waffler and could not make up his mind to stay or go. and then ends up on hated rivals team as a one season wonder
5. if your mood (happy and cheerful or pissed off and angry) for the week depends on last weeks game win or loss.
6. you will never MOON the hated rival's (across the state) bus when they drive into the stadium
7. admit you have NEVER been to a game involving said local team (hell the tickets are literally willed/passed on to the next generation)
8. admit that you are rabid fan of one or both of two rival teams a short distance away
9. if you even wear rival teams colors (purple and yellow/white) you could be in serious physical trouble (blas knows who I am talking about)
10. admit you really do not even watch the televised games of said local team

the only reason I really pay attention to the team is because they bring us BUSINESS on game weekends (yes Monday night and weekday pre-season games are good too).

the level of fanatisism is very very high here as you can tell.

Hell, Racketman, I got my hair dyed to a two tone (two different colors), blonde on top and purple on bottom, and everyone I saw kept going "Don't let me yous one of dem der Viqueens fans!!! Hyuck!!"....fuck you, I could care less about sports in general.....I like the color purple. It has nothing to do with Wisconsin or Minnesota or Favre the Diva. It just go happened I got my hair done that way when the Queens made it to the playoffs

There used to be some statistic that every time the Pack screwed up, domestic violence in Wisconsin went up. I regret to say, I believe that.

Oh I believe it esp here in Green and Gold central. the heart of the tornado stops right here.

heck you should see the anger (stiffs and yelling and hollering and stupid crap ) I have to tolerate on game days/nights. and GODS help us if they actually LOOSE meaning that anger lasts the WHOLE FRACKIN week.

I just wished whinny boy would have just left and stayed gone and not done the drama route.

1. I refuse to move into a studio apartment because most studios are
shoddily built, too tiny and most are located in shitty areas. Apparently, that is racist even though I never mentioned race.

On the first one, I have the opposite problem, I also wouldn't move into a studio for similar reasons, but when I tell people that if money were not an issue I would love to have a condo in downtown I become one of those "god damned city slicker liberals"... funny, I didn't know that where I lived affected my politics (even if I am a god damned liberal )

On the third, oh dear Lord, try riding on TRAX or Frontrunner on game night and let people find out that you aren't a Jazz fan... you may survive to make it to your station. Try explaining that it's because you are a college basketball fan and not into pro sports, and they ease up, oh good, you're a Utes fan like us... umm, actually I kind of prefer the Aggies (Utah State)... they'll go off on you "what, are you some kind of inbred rural hick"... wait a tick, I was just getting used to being the god damned city slicker liberal... what happened

[Racket_Man]

OH one other thing I forgot about our local "population". years ago, shortly after the Vince Lombardi era a new coach was hired. he did so bad here (3 bad seasons out of 4) that a fan threatened to shoot the coaches dog and others threatened to kill his wife and rape his daughters (and they DID mean it not joking around) and to tar and feather him and run him physically out of town.

Yes the football fans here used to take that sport VERY seriously.

Look up Dan Devine. excellent college coach sucked at the pro level. great records at Mizzou and Notre Dame
