We can all talk till we're red in the face.. Im tired of addressing this issue myself. Maybe its a good thing Id has this reputation if for no other reason than keeping people from finding out what a great place it is and FLOCKING here..

BTW I just shaved my head...... Does that make me a skinhead?LOL...

My philosophy is simple; I don't give a bleep what bleeping color you are, just don't act like a bleeping bleeper.

That's nothing... you still need an unyielding bitter expression on your face, tattoos that look like they were designed by a 12-year-old, and meth mouth. Only then will you be ready to join the ranks of "superior" Aryan brethren...

Hell yeah... a lesson for everyone: if you act like a bleeping bleeper, don't be surprised when people bleep with you. If you assume others are bleeping bleepers, don't be surprised if they choose not to bother with the effort it takes to prove you wrong.

Take our recent courthouse shooter down here in Vegas, for instance. Talk about entitlement giving way to delusions of persecution...

It is interesting that blueshogun96 has never responded back in this thread and this person has nearly 10 new posts in other threads after creating this one
strange.

Yeah, a wise friend once told me that some people convince themselves that their reflection is ugly, and then they're nevertheless surprised and indignant when it glares back at them.

That takes a double meaning in both how we interact with others socially (think of the Buddhist infinite mirror analogy) and how we relate with our own subjective experience introspectively (think the psychology of Jung), and both meanings now seem to apply since those of us who gave the OP the benefit of the doubt can't even get some reciprocation for our feedback. Silence reeks of entitlement and presumption and that's a good thing to remember among circles that value respect for our fellow humans. When you incite a discussion, you don't close your mind to the well-meaning answers just because you didn't like some stern answers. That just comes across as bitter contempt, which is never an acceptable thing to make apparent in demeanor (except among bigots, really...). If this OP came to Idaho, I think he'd have trouble fitting in, but the social chasm wouldn't be racial or ethnic.

In case the OP's still lurking and just innocently shy after receiving stern responses (and for any lurkers who come to this thread for answers), here's a link to one of my favorite responses I offered to a very similar question in another thread:

//www.city-data.com/forum/idaho...l#post10682932

The OP in that thread was exemplary in his initial question and responses, too. If you give his statements a read, it is apparent the sort of presentation and social demeanor that many of us Idahoans will welcome in a kind manner instead of a stern one. He was pretty much asking the same question for the same reason, but if you can pick up the differences in his presentation and learn from them, you won't have to worry about putting people off if/when you find yourself in Idaho.

Forgive me for jumping in on a Idaho thread This statement is very true!

I've spent some time in Idaho and live in another Red State.. It is funny how outsiders like to tell others 'how racist they are' when it's the bigot making the claim!

Good day to Y'all
