Sometimes I’m shocked into silence (which rarely ever happens to me ) at some of the things I read online. I wonder if either the posters don’t realize how extremely offensive their comments are or if they come online to unload all the hateful things that can’t dare say aloud.

I enjoyed the line about 'coming online to unload all the hateful things theycan't dare say aloud'...LOL---fear of an elbow in the teeth will make an 'internet badass' out of a lot of people...meaning they will woof all day in front of a computer, but try saying some of that stuff in someone's face, in public...ain't gonna happen, so they pick their spots, as Elmer Fudd would say 'Vewwwwwy carefuwwwy'!

I finally put a "Status" tag under my name that says "I miss Rod Serling" and Voila! Found myself in the Twilight Zone.

I am certain with this congress you will soon be able to make anything, that offends a left wing euro socialist communist fascist, law under the new Hate Crime Legislation.:ma d:

This group like the ELITE HOMOSEXUALS, TRANSGENDERS AND OTHER QUALIFYING MINORITIES:smac k:, will soon have legislation that is customized to make certain that if any offensive word is ever uttered their way, the perpetrator shall then be thrown into prison for no less than life without parole!

Of course murdering unborn children and pulling the plug on older people with continued high medical expenses will never fall under a hate crime! But if you hurt a left wingers feeling or call them a bad word!!! Well then its Prison for You Sucker!!!

I don't know if it was the repeated use of emoticons that distracted me from actually reading the words or the capital letters or the segue to abortion....but I'm not really sure what the purpose of this post is.

Oh well it's Friday.

One of my favorite comedy shows ever was called "In Living Color" created by the Wayans Brothers! Maybe way before your time. Also where Jim Carey received his big break!

Yes, those little emotions, as others call them, are actually there to further enhance the brilliant literal hyperbole that I wrote.!

TGIF!!!!!:co ol:

Many hide behind their screen name and unleash vile remarks that they would not have the b__lls to say to someone in person. Just a bunch of spineless cowards I suppose getting their jollies by trying to get a rise out of people...

The ignore list can make this place seem almost rational. Or would, if people would stop quoting the haters.

To me, this is an example on how great our country actually is ----- lets see this happen (without a war) in most other countries.

My heart did break though when I heard of little Marvina(?) -- what kind of monster could sell a six year old girl?!
A white racist monster who considered her property.

You're not alone in your confusion concerning the point.
